The present research is focused on the study of plane harmonic waves in a two-dimensional orthotropic magneto-thermoelastic media with fractional order theory of generalized thermoelasticity in the light of two-temperature and rotation due to time harmonic sources. Here, we studied three types of waves namely quasi-longitudinal (QL), quasi-transverse (QTS) and quasi thermal (QT) waves. The variations in the wave properties such as phase velocity, attenuation coefficient and specific loss have been noticed with respect to frequency for the reflected waves. Further the value of amplitude ratios, energy ratios and penetration depth are computed numerically with respect to angle of incidence. The numerical simulated results are presented graphically to show the effect of fractional parameter based on its conductivity (0<α<1 for weak, α=1 for normal, 1<α≤2 for strong conductivity) on all the components.

Effect of alloying element additions to Ag on thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of sheath materials for Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O(BSCCO) tapes has been characterized. The thermal conductivity at low temperature range (10~300K) of Ag and Ag alloys were evaluated by both direct and indirect measurement techniqueas and compared with each other, It was observed that the thermal conductivity decreases with increasing the content of alloying element such as Au, Pd and Mg. Thermal conductivity of pure Ag at 3 0K was measured to be 994.0 W(m.K) on the other hand, the corresponding values of $Ag_{0.9995}Mg_{0.0005}$, $Ag_{0.974}$, $Au_{0.025}$, $Mg_{0.001}$, $Ab_{0.973}$, $Au_{0.025}$, $Mg_{0.002}$ and $Ag_{0.92}$, $Pb_{0.06}$, $Mg_{0.02}$ were 342.6, 62.1, 59.2 and 28.9 W(m.K), respectively, indicating 3 to 30 times lower than that of pure Ag. In addition, the thermal conductivity of pure Ag measured by direct and indirect measurement techniques was 303.2 and 363.8 W(m.K) The difference in this study is considered to be within an acceptable error range compared to the reference data.

The thermal and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced mortars for thermal energy storage were investigated in this paper. The effect of the combination of different cementitious composite on the thermal and mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced mortars was investigated. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength before and after thermal cycling and split tensile strength, and to measure thermal properties including thermal conductivity and specific heat. The results showed that the residual compressive strength of mixtures with OPC and graphite was greatest among the mixtures. Thermal conductivity of mixtures with alumina cement was greater than that of mixtures with OPC, indicating favor of alumina cement for charging and discharging in thermal energy storage system. The addition of zirconium into alumina cement increased specific heat of mixtures. Test results of this study could be used to provide information of material properties for thermal energy storage concrete.

Ohmic joule heating electrodes were developed for the electrical heater of the floor of a room. A composite slurry of super pure black and polyvinylidene fluoride with/without the additives of multi-walled carbon nanotube or kindney stone powder was coated as a thin film on the polyethylene terephthalate film. The performances of heating electrodes were evaluated checking specific conductivity, adhesion strength and hardness. The addition of kindney stone powder increases specific resistance and hardness in a small extent. However, the addition of carbon nanotube increases specific conductivity and hardness. The properties of various compositions of ohmic joule heating electrodes were evaluated.

The thermal and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced cement-based composite for solar thermal energy storage were investigated in this paper. The effect of the addition of different cement-based materials to Ordinary Portland cement on the thermal and mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced composite was investigated. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength before and after thermal cycling and split tensile strength, and to measure thermal properties including thermal conductivity and specific heat. Test results showed that the residual compressive strength of mixtures with OPC and slag was greatest among cement-based composite. Thermal conductivity of mixtures including graphite was greater than that of any other mixtures, indicating favor of graphite for improving thermal transfer in terms of charging and discharging in thermal energy storage system. The addition of CSA or zirconium increased specific heat of fiber-reinforced cement-based composite. Test results of this study could be actually used for the design of thermal energy storage system in concentrating solar power plants.

The carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite (CFRC) materials are necessary for the advanced industries that require the thermal resistance. And the development and research for CFRC has been in progress in the field of aerospace and defense industry. CFRC have several advantages and special properties such as excellent anti ablation, outstanding strength retention at very high temperature, high heat capacity and thermal transport, high specific stiffness and strength, and high thermal shock resistance. They have been used as aircraft brake, rocket nozzle, nose cones, jet engine turbine wheels, and high speed craft. Since the technology related to CFRC was prohibited from importing and exporting, we developed our own technology to produce F-16 B32 brake disk made out of CFRC, and then we performed various tests to observe the characteristics of CFRC-based brake disk developed in this study in view of density, strength, friction, specific heat, and heat conductivity.

The MODFLOW simulated results with varying input parameter values were compared and analyzed. To understand the relative importance of the input parameters, sensitivity analysis was carried out. The amount of sustainable yield was analyzed with respect to the hydraulic conductivity, specific yield, specific storage, aquifer thickness and the distance of the wells from the river. The results of sensitivity analysis showed that inflow from the river and the aquifer storage were sensitive to the specific yield and aquifer thickness. Sustainable yield was sensitive to the hydraulic conductivity and aquifer thickness. The results of this study can be used as a basic information for groundwater development and management plannings considering regional characteristics.

Composite ratio of $LiMn_2O_4$ in cathode was optimized as function of specific surface area. Binder has to be used as possible as little, and it should maintain adhesive property between cathode composite and current collector even though in electrolytes. For this purpose, We used 'Hot Roll Pressing' method, and it was effective. To prevent separation of cathode composite from current collector, PVDF(Polyvinylidenefluoride) has to be mixed more than $1.1\%$ in weight ratio to sum of surface area of lithium manganese oxide and conducting agents. Specific internal resistance was reduced as by increasing electrical conductivity of cathode. And Ratio of 2C rate discharge capacity to 0.2C rate discharge capacity was increased by $17\%$, as increasing electrical conductivity from 0.019 mS/cm to 0.036 mS/cm.

In general, the factors affecting the heat transfer of asphalt pavement are divided into weather factors and pavement materials. Among them, material factors include the thermophysical and surface properties. An experiment was conducted on the thermal-physical factors of asphalt, which are the basis for the pavement failure model. The thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal emissivity were evaluated as the thermo-physical properties of asphalt. The specimens (WC-2 & PA-13) used in the experiment were compacted with a Gyratory Compactor. The experimental results of WC-2 and PA-13 showed a thermal conductivity of 1.18W/m·K and 0.9W/m·K, specific heat capacity of 970.8J/kg·K and 960.1J/kg·K, thermal emissivity of 0.9 and 0.91, and thermal diffusivity of 5.15㎡/s and 4.66㎡/s, respectively. Experiments on the heat transfer characteristics (thermo-physical properties) of asphalt pavement that can be used for thermal failure modeling of asphalt were conducted.

Graphite foams consist of a network of interconnected graphite ligaments and are beginning to be applied to thermal management of electronics. The thermal conductivity of the bulk graphite foam is similar to aluminum, but graphite foam has one-fifth the density of aluminum. This combination of high thermal conductivity and low density results in a specific thermal conductivity about five times higher than that of aluminum, allowing heat to rapidly propagate into the foam. This heat is spread out over the very large surface area within the foam, enabling large amounts of energy to be transferred with relatively low temperature difference. For the purpose of graphite foam thermosyphon design in electronics cooling, various effects such as graphite foam geometry, sub-cooling, working fluid effect, and liquid level were investigated in this study. The best thermal performance was achieved with the large graphite foam, working fluid with the lowest boiling point, a liquid level with the exact height of the graphite foam, and at the lowest sub-cooling temperature.
