As a method to develop an enhanced heat transfer fluid, the fine particles of a phase-change material were mixed with a conventional heat transfer fluid. Paraffin, which can be obtained easily in domestic market, was used for the phase-change material and water was used as a carrier fluid. Fine liquid particles of paraffin were formed in water as an emulsion by using an emulsifier, and they were cooled rapidly to become solid particle, resulting in paraffin slurry. The average diameter of produced solid particles was inversely proportional to the amount of the added emulsifier, which was theoretically proved. The produced paraffin slurry was tested thermally in heat transfer test section having a constant-heat-flux boundary condition. The test section was made of a circular stainless-steel pipe, which was directly heated by the power supply having a maximum of 50 Volts-500 Amperes. DSC(Differential scanning calorimeter) tests showed that two kinds of phase change were involved in the melting of paraffin, and it was explained in two different ways. A five- region-melting model was developed by extending the conventional three-region-melting model, and was used to obtain the local bulk mean temperatures of paraffin slurry in the heating test section. The local heat transfer coefficient showed a maximum where the bulk mean temperature of the paraffin slurry reached at the melting temperature of paraffin.

Numerical analysis of bubble motion during nucleate boiling is performed by imposing a constant heat flux condition at the base of a heater which occurs in most of boiling experiments. The temporal and spatial variation of a solid surface temperature associated with the bubble growth and departure is investigated by solving a conjugate problem involving conduction in the solid. The vapor-liquid interface is tracked by a level set method which is modified to include the effects of phase change at the interface, contact angle at the wall and evaporative heat flux in a thin liquid micro-layer. Based on the numerical results, the bubble growth pattern and its interaction with the heating solid are discussed. Also, the effect of heating condition on the bubble growth under a micro-gravity condition is investigated.

Non-steady hot wire method was adopted to measure thermal coductivity of paraffin wax in the phases of liquid and solid for the utilization of thermal energy storage. The instrument was tested with the measurement of thermal conductivity of water at various temperatures. The reproducibility of the instrumetn was found to be ${\pm}2%$, in which the results for water agree with the literature values. The thermal conductivity of paraffin wax varies from 0.177 W/m C to 0.236 W/m C when the phase changes from liquid to solid near the melting temperature.

가압 삼상슬러리 기포탑에서 탑의 직경변화에 따라 기체-액체 물질전달 특성을 고찰하였다. 기체 유속, 운전압력, 액체점도, 슬러리상에서 고체입자의 양 그리고 탑의 직경이 기체-액체 부피물질전달계수에 미치는 영향을 결정하였다. 운전변수들이 물질전달계수에 미치는 영향은 기포탑의 직경이 변화함에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 기체-액체 부피물질전달계수는 기체유속이나 운전압력이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, 기포탑의 직경, 액체의 점도 그리고 슬러리상에 고체입자의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 기체-액체 물질전달계수가 기체유속 증가에 따라 증가하는 경향과 액체의 점도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향은 기포탑의 직경이 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하였다. 그러나, 운전압력과 슬러리상에 포함된 고체입자의 농도가 기체-액체 물질전달계수에 미치는 영향은 기포탑의 직경이 변화함에 따라 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 본 연구의 실험범위에서 기체-액체 물질전달계수는 다음 식과 같은 실험변수의 상관식으로 나타낼 수 있었다. $k_La=0.02D^{-0.26}U_G^{0.28}P^{0.43}{\mu}_L^{-0.04}S_c^{-0.35}$.

본 연구는 수중 무인 이동체의 장기 운용을 위한 전기 에너지의 생성을 위하여 상변화물질(PCM)을 활용하는 방안에 대한 실험적 연구이다. 상변화물질이 온도에 따라 고체와 액체의 상태로 변하면서 발생하는 부피의 변화가 한정된 공간에서 고압으로 변환되어 이를 통해 유체의 흐름을 만들어 발전하는 방식이다. 상변화물질로 해양의 온도를 고려하여 폴리에틸렌글리콜(Polyethylene glycol)을 사용하였으며, 고체상태인 저온(1℃~2℃)과 액체 상태인 고온(21℃~25℃)에서 부피 변화를 압력으로 변환 시켜주는 전기 에너지 생성 장치를 제작하여 전기 에너지 생성 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 상(Phase)변화에 따른 압력 변화는 1시간에서 2시간 사이에 급격히 발생하였으며, 4시간 이후에는 약 24MPa 정도의 압력을 유지하였다. 이를 통해 상변화물질과 온도 차를 이용하여 수중 무인 이동체의 전원으로 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 이를 적용하기 위해서는 좀 더 개선된 설계가 이루어져야 함을 알 수 있었다.

As a starting point of investigating what molecular dynamic simulations can reveal about the nature of atomic level of heating and cooling process, argon described by the LJ potential is considered. Stepwise heating and cooling of constant rates are simulated in the NPT (constant number, pressure and temperature) ensemble. Hysteresis is found due to the superheating and supercooling. Drastic change of volume and energy is involved with phase change, but the melting point can not be obtained by simply observing the changes of these quantities. Since liquid and solid phases can co-exist at the same temperature, Gibbs free energy should be calculated to find the temperature where the Gibbs free energy of liquid is equal to that of the solid since the equilibrium state is the state of minimum Gibbs free energy. The obtained melting temperature, $T^*=0.685$, is close to that of the experiment with only 2% error.

The steady state close-contact melting phenomenon occurring between a phase change material and an isothermally heated flat plate with relative motion is investigated analytically, in which the effects of vertical convection in the liquid film and solid-liquid density difference are incorporated simultaneously. Not only the scale analysis is conducted to estimate a priori qualitative dependence of system variables on characteristic parameters, but also an analytical solution to a set of simplified model equations is obtained to specify the effects under consideration. These two results are consistent with each other, in that the vertical convection affects both the solid descending velocity and the film thickness, and that the density difference alters only the solid descending velocity. While the effect of vertical convection can be characterized conveniently by a newly introduced temperature gradient factor which asymptotically approaches the unity/zero with decreasing/increasing the Stefan number, that of density difference is represented by the liquid-to-solid density ratio. It is shown that the solid descending velocity depends linearly on the density ratio, and that the ratios of solid descending velocity, film thickness and friction coefficient to the conduction solution are proportional to 3/4, 1/4 and -1/4 powers of the temperature gradient factor, respectively. Also, established is the fact that the effect of convection can be legitimately neglected in the analysis for the range of the Stefan number less than 0.1.

Liquid-assisted cleaning technology utilizing a nanosecond laser pulse is effective for removing submicron particulates from a variety of solid substrates. In the technique, saturated vapor is condensed on a solid surface to form a thin liquid film and the film is evaporated explosively by laser heating. The present work studies the role of liquid-film evaporation in the cleaning process. First, optical interferometry is employed for in-situ monitoring the displacement of the laser-irradiated sample in the cleaning process. The experiments are performed for estimating the recoil force exerted on the target with and without liquid deposition. Secondly, time-resolved visualization and optical reflectance probing are also conducted for monitoring the phase-change kinetics and plume dynamics in vaporization of thin liquid layers. Discussions are made on the effect of liquid-film thickness and dynamics of plume and acoustic wave. The results confirm that cleaning force is generated when the bubble nuclei initially grow in the strongly superheated liquid.

Recently, for improvement of the magnetic field of high temperature superconductor (HTS) apparatus, many studies investigating on operating in the range of $20{\sim}65\;K$ with liquid helium or the conducting method using cryocooler are actively reviewed. Also, the cooling method using solid nitrogen as cryogen is being suggested. Since the nitrogen has very large specific heat in solid state, it is expected that it can be operated for a long time without a continuous supply of cooling energy. However, there are still insufficient data on the characteristics of solid nitrogen such as thermodynamic properties and liquid-solid phase change. Especially, there was almost no study done on the electrical insulation properties of solid nitrogen so far. In this study, solid nitrogen to find the electrical characteristics was made by using cryocooler and cryostat, and investigated the flashover discharge and breakdown. The results of this study will be useful as a basic data for electrical insulation design of the HTS system using solid nitrogen as cryogen.
