Cooling the electronic equipment is one of the major focal points of the design process and the key to successful product launch. The two-phase loop thermosyphone which is a good candidate among many available options was investigated fur cooling of the high power amplifiers. The system is composed of evaporator which contains 6 parallel cold plates, fan cooled condenser, gas-liquid separator, and interconnecting tubes. Experiments were performed for several refrigerant charging values, hs and as a experiment result, the optimum charging value fur this system was proposed. In order to optimize the system design, the operating cycle pressure and inlet/outlet temperatures of evaporator and condenser are measured and analyzed. The effect of the three parameters such as flow rate and temperature of condenser cooling air, and thermal load on the evaporator are investigated. The lower the operating pressure and the cycle temperatures are also better to prevent the leakage of the system. The system invesigated in this paper can be directly used for cooling of a real unmanned wireless communication station.

본 연구는 제설설비에 히트파이프를 사용할때 기술적, 경제적 문제에 대해서 고찰하고, 히트파이프식의 제설구조물를 제작 설비하는 경우의 적용범위와 작동조건에 따라 전열효과를 실험적으로 검토한 것이다. 제설 제빙용으로 개발된 히트파이프식 설비는 히트파이프 배열의 피치에 관계없이 상호보완적으로 작동하였으며 제설설비를 위해 충분한 성능을 보였다. 작동액체의 충전량은 증발기의 체적을 기준으로 하여 $0.96{\sim}1.3$배인 경우가 가장 적합 하였다. 가열액체의 온도가 증가할수록 안정한 운전이 가능하였고 경사도는 4.5도에서 9도사이가 가장 양호했다. 경사가 크고 가열매체 입구온도가 증가할 때 온도진동수는 증가하고 진폭은 감소하고 열전달 효과는 크게 나타났다.

Experimental study was conducted to evaluate the performance of a miniature loop heat pipe (MLHP) with non-inverted meniscus type capillary structure. All parts of MLHP in this study were made of copper including the capillary structure and the distilled water was used as a working fluid of MLHP. The outer diameter of evaporator was 9 mm and its length was 119 mm. The effective pore size of the capillary structure was 30 micron and its porosity was 60%. The vapor transport line, the liquid transport line and the condenser were consisted of single 4.0 mm copper tube. The distance between the evaporator and the condenser region was 200 mm and the length of the loop was 969 mm. This MLHP was operated successfully at any orientation but the gravity highly influenced the thermal performance of the MLHP. The maximum thermal load was 130 watts at the bottom heat mode and the 20 watts at the top heat mode.

Physicochemical and electrical properties for hydrogen gas sensors based on Pd-deposited $WO_3$ thin films were investigated as a function of Pd thickness, annealing temperature, and operating temperature. $WO_3$ thin films were deposited on an insulating material by thermal evaporator. XRD, FE-SEM, AFM, and XPS were used to evaluate the crystal structure, microstructure, surface roughness, and chemical property, respectively. The deposited films were grown $WO_3$ polycrystalline with rhombohedral structure after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$. The addition effect of Pd is not the crystallinity but the suppression of grain growth of $WO_3$. Pd was scattered an isolated small spherical grain on $WO_3$ thin film after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ and it was agglomerated as an irregular large grain or diffused into $WO_3$ after annealing at $600^{\circ}C$. 2 nm Pd-deposited $WO_3$ thin films operated at $250^{\circ}C$ showed good response and recovery property.

The cycle performance of closed ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) system with 50 kW gross power was evaluated to obtain the basic data for the optimal design of OTEC using waste heat such as solar power, discharged heat from condenser of power plant. The basic thermodynamic model for OTEC is Rankine cycle, and the surface seawater and deep seawater were used for the heat source of evaporator and condenser, respectively. The cycle performance such as efficiency, heat exchanger capacity, etc. was analyzed on the variation of temperature increase by waste heat. The cycle efficiency increased and necessary capacity of evaporator and condenser decreased under 50kW gross power with respect to the temperature increase of working fluid. Also, when the temperature increase is about $13.5^{\circ}C$, the heat which can be used is generated. By generator with 0.9 effectiveness under the simulated condition, the cycle efficiency was improved approximately 3.0% comparing with the basic cycle.

The paper presents some results regarding the obtaining of some copper heat pipes with a porous copper internal layer for electronic components cooling. The heat pipes were realized by sintering of spherical copper powders of $90{\div}125\;{\mu}m$ size directly on the internal side of a copper pipe of 18 mm in diameter. The obtained pipes were then brazed in order to obtain a heat pipe of 0.5 m in length. After that, the heat pipe was sealed and filled with a small quantity of distilled water as working fluid. To establish the total heat transport coefficient and the thermal flow transferred at the evaporator, some external devices were realized to allow the heating of the evaporator and the cooling of the condenser. Water heat pipes are explored in the intermediate temperature range of 303 up to 500 K. Test data are reported for copper water heat pipe, which was tested under different orientations. The obtained results show that the water heat pipe has a good thermal transfer performance in the temperatures range between 345 and 463 K.

The necessity of a Z-shape heat pipe may occur in a special application such as a cooling module for an electronic equipment having a limited accessible space. Either of the two end part works as evaporator or condenser and the length of the middle part is 200mm. The heat pipe was made of 3/8 inch copper tube having 60 spiral groove with screw angle of 10 degrees. Water and acetone were used as working fluids. The fill charge ratio of the working fluid was varied for different values of thermal loads. The thermal resistance was calculated based on the temperature measurements along the heat pipe axis. The maximum thermal loads were 80W for water and 100W for acetone heat pipe. The optimum fill charge ratio was identified through a series of experiments.

The thermodynamic performance of ocean thermal energy conversion with 1 kg/s geothermal water flow rate as a heat source was evaluated to obtain the basic data for the optimal design of cycle with respect to the classification of the working fluid. The basic thermodynamic model for cycle is rankine cycle and the geothermal water and deep seawater were adapted for the heat source of evaporator and condenser, respectively. R245fa, R134a are better to use as a working fluid than others in view of the use of geothermal water. It is important to select the proper working fluid to operate the ocean thermal energy conversion. So, this paper can be used as the basic data for the design of ocean thermal energy conversion with geothermal water and deep seawater.

본 연구의 목적은 이산화탄소를 적용한 자동차용 냉방시스템의 냉방 성능특성을 고찰하는 것이다. 특히 자동차의 실도로 운전 조건을 모사할 수 있도록 실험 조건을 선정하였으며 실제 자동차에 적용된 이산화탄소용 냉방시스템에 대하여 다양한 냉방성능 실험을 진행하였다. 결과적으로, 가스쿨러 입구 공기온도가 증가할수록 냉방용량과 COP는 감소하였고 증발기 입구 공기온도가 증가할수록 냉방용량과 COP는 증가하였다. 또한, 압축기 회전속도가 900 rev/min에서 1800 rev/min으로 증가할수록 냉방용량은 42.2% 증가였으나 냉방 COP는 55.4% 감소하였다.

A new microcombustor configuration for a micro fuel-cell reformer integrated with a micro evaporator was studied experimentally and computationally. The present microcombustor is simply cylindrical to be easily fabricated but two-staged, expending downstream, to feasibly control ignition and stable burning. Results show that the aspect ratio of the first stage and the wall thickness of the microcombustors substantially affect ignition and thermal characteristics. For the optimized design conditions, a premixed microflame was easily ignited in the expanded second stage combustor, moved into the smaller first stage combustor, and finally stabilized therein. The measured and predicted temperature distributions across the microcombustor walls indicated that heat generated in the microcombustor is well transferred. Thus, the present microcombustor configuration could be applied to the practical micro reformers integrated with a micro evaporator for use of fuel cells.
