The processing of phenolic composite reinforced with hybrid of PAN based/Rayon based carbon fabrics using FBG sensor and thermocouple was studied. Once the composite is cured, the reflection spectrum from the FBG sensor shifted the center wavelength with an increase in the temperature. Also, the change in the form of the reflection spectrum obtained during the cooling process of the cure cycle was caused by the thermal shrinkage. During the curing process, uniform distribution of the temperature profile was observed throughout the sample.

Under the assumption that thermal conductivity of the fin is constant and the conditions ate steady state, effects of non-constant and thermally asymmetric root temperature and unequal surrounding convection coefficients of the fin on the heat loss from a fin of rectangular profile are investigated. The heat loss form a rectangular fin becomes maximum when the highest root temperature deviates from the fin center to the fin side which has a higher convection coefficient as surrounding convection coefficients of the fin increase and as the difference between the convection coefficient of fin top side and that of fin bottom side increases.

Linear motor feature a direct connection to the machine tool, therefore a direct route for heat transfer. The heat dissipation of linear motor machine is affected by the maximum temperature rise of the primary part, coil and the cooling method. To minimize temperature induced dimension changes and decrements of performance, linear motor machine require effective cooling mechanism. To evaluate cooling performance of existing linear motor machine, some experiments about temperature profile are performed using thermocouple recorder. Due to the lack of information about internal structure, only some finite element modeling is prepared and analyzed.

Thermophoresis in dense gases is studied by using a multi-scale approach and Born- Yvon­Green (BYG) equation. The problem of a particle movement in an ambient dense gas under temperature gradient is divided into inter and outer ones. The pressure gradient in the inner region is obtained from the solutions of BYG equation. The velocity profile is derived from the conservation equations and calculated using the pressure gradient, which provides the particle velocity in the outer problem. It is shown that the temperature gradient applied to the quiescent ambient gas induces some pressure gradient and thus flow tangential to the particle surface in the interfacial region. The mechanism that induces the flow may be the dominant source of the thermophretic particle movement in dense gases. It is also shown that the particle velocity has a nonlinear relationship with the applied temperature gradient and decreases with increasing temperature.

During the curing process of thick glass/epoxy laminates, a substantial amount of temperature lag and overshoot at the center of the laminates is usually experienced due to the large thickness and low thermal conductivity of the glass/epoxy composites. Also, it takes a longer time for full and uniform consolidation. In this work, temperature, degree of cure and consolidation of a 20 mm thick unidirectional glass/epoxy laminate were investigated using an experiment and a 3-dimentional numerical analysis. From the experimental and numerical results, it was found that the experimentally obtained temperature profile agreed well with the numerical one, and the cure cycle recommended by the prepreg manufacturer should be modified to prevent a temperature overshoot and to obtain full consolidation.

In the present study, a program for predicting thermal performance of an air cooled condenser is illustrated. Heat transfer equations of single phase and two phase flow are formulated into the form that is convenient to incorporate the local analysis method. The resulting equations are solved by temperature and mass correction methods. Empirical equations for both side fluids are incorporated in the caculation procedures. In order to compare the calculation results, superheat temperature of steam are varied. The tube length of superheated zone, wall temperature, temperature profile along the tube and steam qualities are predicted.

The present numerical study investigates heat transfer enhancement mechanism for suspensions of polystyrene particles in water. Numerical simulations were done for turbulent hydrodynamic fully developed flows in a circular duct with constant wall heat flux. The experimental result of microparticle suspensions show 25∼45% heat transfer enhancement over those of water. The present numerical results show the main parameter for the heat transfer enhancement of microparticle suspension in a circular duct is the change of velocity profile by the non-Newtonian fluid behavior.

The purpose of this study is to develop an effective method for automated deburring of precision components. A high power laser is proposed as a deburring tool for complex part edges and burrs. For the laser experiments, rectangular-shaped carbon steel and stainless steel machined specimens with burr along one side were prepared. A 1500 Watt $CO_2$ laser was used to remove burrs on the workpieces. The prediction of the heat affected zone (HAZ) and cutting profile of laser-deburred parts using finite element method is presented and compared with the experimental results. This study shows that the finite element method (FEM) analysis can effectively predict the thermal affected zone of the material and that the technique can be applied to precision components.

The flow of fluid with low prandtl number in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been considered, where the wall temperature is maintained to be constant. A finite difference method is used for the integral form of the governing equations in order that they satisfy the conservative properties of the numerical solutions. It is confirmed that the hydrodynamic entrance length and be divided into growing boundary layer region and fully viscous region, which is compared with existing results obtained by using boundary layer approximations. By assuning the developing velocity profile in the entrance region, the thermal entrance length is estimated and the local Nusselt number is obtained at various locations along the axial dirction.
