Wood fuel must be dried before combustion to minimize the energy loss. Sawdust of Japanese red pine was dried in a direct contact thermal screw dryer to investigate the drying characteristics of sawdust as a raw material for bio-fuel. Average drying rate and energy efficiency was 1.4%/min and 69.23% at $100^{\circ}C$, respectively, and those at $120^{\circ}C$ was 2.1%/min and 71.03%, respectively.

The role of thermal contact resistance between a casting and a metal mold as well as natural convection in the melt during solidification of a pure metal is numerically studied. Numerical simulation is performed for a rectangular cavity using the coordinate transformation by boundary-fitted coordinate and pure aluminum is used as the phase- change material. The influences of thermal contact resistance on the interface shape and position, solidified volume fraction, temperature field and local heat transfer are investigated.

The thermal behaviors of disk-pad braking models has been analyzed for a high-speed train brake system using the coupled thermal-mechanical analysis technique. The temperature distribution, thermal distortion, and contact stress in the disk-pads contact model have been investigated as functions of the convective heat transfer rate. The FEM results indicate that multiple spot type pads show more stabilized thermal characteristics compared with those of the flat type pads for the increased convective heat transfer rate. The maximum contact stress for a friction pad loaded against a rubbing disk was occurred on the edge of the pad at the disk-pad interface.

One of the important application of a contact melting process is a latent thermal energy storage owing to its high heat flux. In some previous works, the split fins have been employed in order to enhance the melting speed. In the present work, the close contact melting was experimentally investigated using an ice as specimen for both split and non-split fins. It was shown that the contact melting by split fins increases the melting rate compared to that of non-split ones.

본 논문은 단자대에서 단일원인 및 복합원인에 의한 전기화재위험성을 규명하기 위한 연구이다. 우선적으로 단일원인인 접촉불량에 의한 화재위험성을 측정하기 위해 조임토크변화 및 접촉저항변화에 따른 열적특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 복합원인에 의한 화재위험성을 측정하기 위해 접촉저항변화에 따른 가속트래킹 실험을 실시하여 접촉불량과 트래킹의 화재연관성을 확인하였다. 실험결과 단일원인의 경우 접촉불량상태의 조임토크 및 접촉저항 크기가 증가할수록 열적특성이 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 접촉저항변화에 따른 열적특성이 조임토크변화에 따른 열적특성보다 그 특성이 더 잘 나타났다. 또한, 복합원인의 경우 단자대 접촉불량과 트래킹은 상호연관성을 가지고 있으며, 두 가지의 복합적인 원인이 서로 작용될 경우 기존의 단일원인의 전기화재 위험성보다 상대적인 위험성이 더욱 높게 나타나는 것으로 도출되었다.

This paper presents the contact thermal behaviors of mechanical seals depending on the contacting face geometry. Using the finite element analysis, the temperature distribution, thermal distortion and leakage have been analyzed as functions of sealing gap and rotating speed of the seal ring shaft. The FE results indicate that the inclined contacting face may be more effective and stable based on the results of thermal characteristic analysis if the seal ring has been designed with a same thermal capacity between conventional rectangular sealing faces and inclined seating surface of seal rings.

Membrane distillation (MD) is one of the water treatment processes which involves the momentum, heat and mass transfer through channels and membrane. In this study, CFD modeling has been used to simulate the heat and mass transfer in the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Also, the effect of operating parameters on the water flux is investigated. The result shows a good agreement with the experimental result. Results indicated that, while feed temperature is increasing in the feed side, water flux improves in the permeate side. Since higher velocity leads to the higher mixing and turbulence in the feed channel, water flux rises due to this increase in the feed velocity. Moreover, results revealed that temperature polarization coefficient is rising as flow rate (velocity) increases and it is decreasing while the feed temperature increases. Lastly, the thermal efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation is defined, and results confirm that thermal efficiency improves while feed temperature increases. Also, flow rate increment results in enhancement of thermal efficiency.

Heat generation in machine operating condition makes thermal deformation and thermalstress in the structure, which results in the change the contact characteristics of machine joint such s change of shrinkage fit, contact heat conductance and contact pressure. As the change of contact pressure is related to variation of static, dynamic and thermalcharacteristics, the prediction of transient contact perssure is strongly required. This paper presents some analytical results which will be effective to predict static and dynamic characteristics of the compound cylindrical structure.

The thermal contact resistance (TCR) is one of the important resistance components in cryogenic systems. Cryogenic measurement devices using a cryocooler can be affected by TCR because the device has to consist of several metal components that are in contact with each other for heat transfer to the specimen without a cryogen. Therefore, accurate measurement and understanding of TCR is necessary for the design of cryogenic measurement devices using a cryocooler. The TCR occurs at the interface between metals and it can be affected by variable factors, such as the roughness of the metal surface, the contact area and the contact pressure. In this study, we designed a TCR measurement system at variable temperature using a cryocooler as a heat sink. Copper was selected as a specimen in the experiment because it is widely used as a heat transfer medium in cryogenic measurement devices. We measured the TCR between Cu and Cu for various temperatures and contact pressures. The effect of the interfacial materials on the TCR was also investigated.

온도가 조절되는 회분식 반응기에서 온도와 접촉금속이 Exo-tricyclo[$5.2.1.0^{2,6}$]decane (tricyclodecane, 이하 exo-THDCP로 표기함)의 열안정도에 미치는 영향을 GC/MS로 조사하였다. 그리고 Exo-THDCP와 접촉하는 금속의 특성은 SEM-EDX로 분석하였다. 보관 연료온도 증가 실험에서 exo-THDCP의 분해는 $350^{\circ}C$에서 시작되는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 연료접촉 금속의 경우, 스테인리스 스틸보다 티타늄이 exo-THDCP의 분해에 미치는 영향이 작은 것으로 나타났다.
