  • The present study concerns the simulation of supply-air control in a variable air volume (VAV) system. A stratified lumped thermal model (multi-zone model) is suggested to predict local thermal response of an air-conditioned space. The effects of various thermal parameters such as the cooling system capacity, the thermal mass of air-conditioned space, the time delay of thermal effect, and the building envelope heat transmission are investigated in detail. Further, the influence of control parameters, PI control factor and the sensor location on a VAV system is quantitatively delineated. The results obtained show that the previous homogeneous lumped thermal model (1-zone model) may predict a significantly different thermal response in the air-conditioned space according to the sensor location.

  • The additive manufacturing technology, also called 3D printing, is growing fast. There are several methods for 3D printing. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) type 3D printing is the most popular method because it is simple and inexpensive. Moreover, it can be used for printing various thermoplastic materials. However, it contains the cooling of layered road and causes thermal shrinkage. Thermal shrinkage should be controlled to obtain high-quality products. In this study, temperature distribution and cooling behavior of a layered road with cooling are studied through computer simulation. The thermal shrinkage of the layered road was simulated using the calculated temperature distribution with time. Shape variation of the layered road was predicted as cooling proceeded. Stress between the bed and the layered road was also predicted.This stress was considered as the detaching stress of the layered road from the bed. The simulations were performed for various thermal conductivities and temperatures of the layered road, bed temperature, and chamber temperature of a 3D printer. The simulation results provide detailed information about the layered road for FDM type 3D printing under operational conditions.

  • Fluid cooling is one of the manufacturing processes used to control mechanical properties, and is recently used for hot stamping of automobile parts. The formed part at room temperature is heated and then cooled rapidly using various fluids in order to obtain better mechanical properties. The formed part may undergo excessive thermal deformation during rapid cooling. In order to predict the thermal deformation during fluid cooling, a coupled simulation of different fields is needed. In this study, cooling simulation of boron steel square sheet was performed. Material properties for the simulation were calculated from JMatPro, and three convection heat transfer coefficients such as water, oil and air were obtained from the experiments. It was found that the thermal deformation increased when the difference of cooling rate of sheet face increased, and the thermal deformation increased when the thickness of sheet decreased.

  • As regulations governing the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have become increasingly stringent in China, regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) have been more frequently applied in medium- and high-concentration VOCs treatments. However, due to the lack of existing RTO-related research, experience remains a dominant factor for industrial application. This paper thus aimed to establish a model for industrial RTOs, using a transient simulation method and thermal equilibrium model to simulate the internal velocities and temperature distributions of an RTO across multiple cycles. A comparison showed an error of less than 5% between most correlating simulated and experimental measurement points, verifying that the simulation method was accurate. After verification, the velocity and temperature fields inside the RTO were simulated to study the uniformity of temperature and velocity within the packed beds: both fields displayed high uniformity after gas flowed through the honeycomb regenerator. The effects of air volume, VOCs concentrations, and valve switching times on the oxidation chamber temperature, RTO outlet temperature, and thermal efficiency (as well as their averages) were studied. The VOCs removal rate in this study was constantly above 98%, and the average thermal efficiency reached 90%.

  • LED package with 4[mm]-height mold was manufactured and the surface temperature was measured directly using both thermocouple and thermal infrared (IR) camera. FVM simulation was conducted to estimate the surface temperature of the same LED package under the same condition, by which the accuracy of the simulation was secured. Then, the effects of the height and thermal conductivity of the mold on the junction temperature of the LED package were investigated by FVM simulation. The results showed that the junction temperature decreased by 10[$^{\circ}C$] when the mold height was 3~5[mm], but the thermal conductivity of the mold didn't affect the junction temperature significantly.

  • In this Study, as the structure of IT module for smart phone display becomes thin to catch up with slim product trend, the reliability of display module is on the rise as a issue for product design. Especially, almost part of cellular phone should undergo thermal dissipation test. thus many manufacturers have considered design guide line using CAE and simulation for more effective usage of limited resources on the market. This test simulates the case when cellular phone slips through user's fingers while he is talking on the phone. This paper studies a thermal simulation of display module in smart phone. This design for reliability improvements are suggested on the basis of the results of FVM Analysis and display of IT module and smart phone design.

From comparing the predicted results with experimental results, it is confirmed that direct numerical simulation gives similar results to the previously proposed methods while minimizing artificial assumptions. Additionally trend of variation in thermal expansion coefficients is investigated according to the fiber volume fraction.

  • The purpose of this study is to present the simulation results and an overview of the performance assessment of a solar heating & cooling system by means of the $200m^2$ evacuated tube solar collector. The simulation was carried out using the thermal simulation code TRNSYS with new model of a single-effect LiBr/$H_{2}O$ absorption chiller developed by this study. The calculation was performed for yearly long-term thermal performance and for two design factors: the solar hot water storage tank and the cold water storage tank. As a result, it was anticipated that the yearly mean system efficiency is 46.7% and the solar fraction for the heating, cooling and hot water supply are about 84.4 %, 41.7% and 72.4%, respectively.
