A conceptual thermal design is performed for the optical payload system of a geostationary satellite. The optical payload considered in this paper is GOCI(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) of COMS of Korea. The radiative thermal control system is employed in order to expect a small thermal gradient in the telescope structure of GOCl. Two design margins are applied to the dedicated radiator dimensioning, and three kinds of configuration to the heater power sizing. A Monte-Carlo ray tracing method and a network analysis method are utilized to calculate radiative couplings and thermal responses respectively. At the level of conceptual design, sizing thresholds are presented for the radiator and heater on the purpose of determining the mass and power budget of the spacecraft.

The stem thrust required to unwedging a gate valve is influenced by the pressure and temperature when the valve is closed and by the changes in these conditions between closure and opening. "Pressure Locking" and "Thennal Binding" refer to situations where pressure and temperature effects cause the unwedging load to be much higher than normal. A model of these phenomena has been developed. The effects of pressure and temperature are analyzed to determine the change in this disk-to-seat "interference". Flexibilities or Stiffness of the disk and body strongly influence the unwedging thrust. Calculation and limited comparison to data have been performed for the RHR motor operated valve designs and scenario. Pressure changes can increase the unwedging thrust when bonnet pressure exceeds the pressure in the adjacent piping and temperature changes can increase the unwedging thrust when a temperature change after closure produces an increase in the disk-to-seat interference.

In this study we carried out athermalization analysis and tests to meet the required optical performance for thennal imaging systems even if the systems were operating over a wide temperature range. By using optical design programs such as Code- V and SIGMA2100, the simulation for athermalization was done with FPA thermal imaging system. In the athermalization test putting the thermal imaging system and collimator into a temperature chamber, the images depending on the temperature were recorded on video tape. In particular, the zoom thermal imaging system with two dimensional array detector was tested to check the result of the athermalization simulation. As a result, it was proved to meet the required optical performance for the thermal imaging system within $-32-+50^{\circ}C$ temperature range. range.

Ground-water temperature is one of the parameters for observing diarges in the state of the ground-water regime in time and space, which relate to conditions for recharge as well as the influence of various natural and man-induced fadors on the regime. Because ground-water satura tes much of the rock materiats in the upper layer of the earth's csust the water temperature reflects in part the temperature of the water-bearing rocks. The mobffity and thennal capadty of groud-waters, however, serves to redistribute some of the heat within the stratosphere and to influence the developement of the geothermal regime within this sphere. The utilization of temperature data of the study area(25 points) in the solution of hydrogeologic problems requires an understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of subsurtice temperatures. These include the depth of penetration of heat waves generated of the surtace, the rate of propagation of the waves, and the geothermal gradient in the study area of Taegu.

In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was modified by reactive extrusion with a functional monomer GMA(glycidyl methacrylate), MMT(montmorillonite), and initiator to enhance the melt strength. Each modified PLA was prepared with different amounts of GMA and MMT and was characterized by measuring thennal- and melt-viscoelastic properties. The degree of dispersion of MMT was measured by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The glass transition temperature($T_g$) of modified PLA-GMA-MMT nanocomposite decreased with increasing GMA content, but was a little affected by the amount of MMT. Surface analysis showed that the nanocomposite became more intercalated than exfoliated as the amount of MMT increases. The complex viscosity and storage modulus of the nano-composite were greatly increased by addition of MMT.
