In many electric vehicles, large-capacity pouch-type lithium-ion battery packs are mainly used to increase the mileage on a single charge. The lithium ion battery should be operated within the temperature range of 25℃ to 40℃ because the battery performance can be rapidly deteriorated due to an increase in internal temperature. Battery thermal management system (BTMS) can give the suitable temperature conditions to battery by water cooling method. In this research, the heat transfer characteristics (the battery temperature distributions and the water flow characteristics) were analyzed by CFD method to investigate the thermal performance of the cooling plate with 4-pass water flow structure. Moreover, the effect of the presence of fins between the battery cell was identified. The fins made smooth temperature distributions between the battery cells due to the heat spreading and lower the average battery cells temperature.

The numerical analysis of ablative thermal protection systems (TPS) for solid rockets has been carried out with various in-house codes since the 1960s. However, the application scope of commercial codes has been expanded by adding subroutines and user-defined functions (UDF) to codes such as Fluent, Marc, and ABAQUS. In the past, the flow, thermal response and structural analysis of TPS have been performed using separate approaches. Recently, research has been conducted to interrelate them. In this paper, the thermal response characteristics of thermal protection materials, the in-house codes for thermal response analysis, and the research trends of flow-thermal-structure analysis of TPS using commercial codes were reviewed.

Present study is concerned with an experimental study on the cooling characteristics of heat-generating components arranged in channels which are made by printed circuit boards. To estimate the thermal performance of the heat-generating components arranged by $5\times11$ in channel flow, three variables are used: the inlet velocity, the height of channel, and row number of the component. The cooling characteristics of the heat-generating components such as the surface temperature rise, the adiabatic temperature rise, the adiabatic heat transfer coefficient, and the effect of thermal wake are compared with the result of the experiment and the numerical analysis. The experimental result is in a good agreement with the numerical analysis. The heat transfer coefficient increases as the Reynolds number increases, while the thermal wake function calculated for each row decreases as the Reynolds number increases. In addition, it is found that Nu-Re correlation equation is Identical to the previous studies, and the empirical correlation equation between the thermal wake function and Re is presented.

Characteristics of electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma thermal oxide grown at low-temperature have been investigated. The effects of several process parameters such as substrate temperature, microwave power, gas flow rate, and process pressure on the growth rate of the oxide have been also investigated. It was found that the plasma density, reactive ion species, is strongly related to the growth rate of ECR plasma oxied. It was also found that the plasma density increases with microwave power while it decreases with decreasing O2 flow rate. The oxidation time dependence of the oxide thichness showed parabolic characteristics. Considering ECR plasma thermal oxidation at low-temperature, the linear as well as parabolic rate constants calculated from fitting data by using the Deal-Grove model was very large in comparison with conventional thermal oxidation. The ECR plasma oxide grown on (100) crystalline-Si wafer exhibited good electrical characteristics which are comparable to those of thermal oxide: fixed oxide charge(N$_{ff}$)= 7${\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}$, interface state density(N$_{it}$)=4${\times}10^[10}cm^{-2}eV^{-1}$, and breakdown field > 8MV/cm.

Numerical simulations are conducted for the analysis of a thermal mass air flow sensor with periodic heating pulses on silicon-nitride ($Si_3N_4$) thin membrane structure. This study aims to find the locations of temperature sensors on the thin membrane and the heating pulse conditions, that the higher sensitivity can be achieved, for the development of a MEMS fabricated mass air flow sensor which is driven in periodic heating pulse. The simulations, thus, focus on the membrane temperature profile according to variation of the flow velocity, heating duration time and imposed power. The flow velocity of the simulations is ranging from 3 m/s to 35 m/s, heating duration time from 1 ms to 3 ms and imposed power from 50 mW to 90 mW. The corresponding Reynolds numbers vary from 1000 to 10000.

Carbon nanofibers were deposited on silicon oxide substrate by thermal chemical vapor deposition method. For the enhancement of the characteristics of carbon nanofibers, the source gases ($C_2H_2,\;H_2$) flows were intentionally manipulated as the cyclic on/off modulation of $C_2H_2$ flow. By the cyclic modulation process during the initial deposition stage, the formation density of carbon nanofibers on the substrate could be much more enhanced. The diameter of as-grown carbon nanofibers was also reduced by the cyclic modulation process. The cause for the variation in the characteristics of carbon nanofibers by the cyclic modulation process was discussed in association with the hydrogen gas etching ability.

For the countermeasure of expected higher thermal load in miller cycle engine, coolant flows in the cylinder head of base engine with several coolant flow methods and drilled hole passages were measured by using PIV technique. And the cooling effect was evaluated by measurements of wall temperatures according to each coolant flow method. It was found that the series flow system was most suitable among the discussed 3 types of coolant flow methods since it had the best cooling effect in cylinder head by the fastest coolant flow velocity It was also found that for drilled water passage to decrease the large thermal load in exhaust valve bridge, nozzle type is more effective compared with round type of water passage, and its size has to be determined according to the coolant flow pattern and velocity in each cylinder.

Mathematical modeling and numerical calculation on the flow and thermal characteristics induced by fire in a partial enclosure are performed. The solution procedures include the Shvab-Zeldovich approximation for the physical transport equations, low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. model for the turbulent fluid flow and Discrete Ordinate method(DOM) to calculate the radiative heat transfer. PMMA(Polymethylmethacrylate) is adopted as a solid fuel. Two different cases are considered : combustions with and without gas radiation occuring in a open cavity for variable pyrolyzing location of PMMA. When the fire source is located at the left-wall, the flow region of flame gas is limited at the left-wall and ceiling and recirculation region of inlet gas is formulated at neat the floor. In case of neglecting the radiative heat transfer, more large flame size and higher temperature is predicted. It is essential to consider the radiative heat transfer for analysis of fire phenomenon.

A turbine blade operates under high temperature, high pressure, and the loads have the characteristics that the amplitudes change. Therefore, it is important to perform a stress analysis considering thermal and pressure loads. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of these loads on gas turbine blade through thermal stress analysis. The analysis results shows that pressure in gas fluid flow around blade is high in leading edge part, Gas temperature is connections with pressure of flow around blade. The distribution of stress from blade is appearing as is different at suction side and pressure side.
