Inorganic/organic composite was synthesized by using sol-gel process, and the bonding characteristics of composite was investigated with glass transition temperature(Tg), measured by DMTA(Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analyzer). It was found from shift of Tg to higher temperature that composite reaction was proceeded better with the amount of HCl and water. But Tg was not varied with reaction time.

A technological review and analysis were performed on thermal cracking of aviation hydrocarbon fuels that circulate as coolants in regenerative cooling systems of hypersonic flights. Liquid hydrocarbons decompose into low-carbon-number hydrocarbons when they absorb a considerable amount of energy at extremely high temperatures, and these thermal cracking behaviors are represented by heat sink capacity, conversion ratio, reaction products, and coking propensity. These parameters are closely interrelated, and thus, they must be considered for optimum performance in terms of the overall heat absorption in the regenerative cooling system and supersonic combustion in the scramjet engine.

A small-scale solar concentrating system was developed and demonstrated for supplying process heat required in solar thermo chemical reaction. The concentration system consists of a heliostat equipped with a solar tracking device and a dish concentrator. From the initial thermal test of the concentrating system it was found that the system works very well with around 500-600 concentration ratio capable of supplying about 3kW therml energy to the reactor. Once the concentration system was turned on, the reactor temperature rapidly increased over $1,000^{\circ}C$ and could be maintained high enough for solar chemical reaction.

For this purpose, the authors proposed and proved usefulness of the modified mean skin temperature which is integrated mean radiation temperature and the effect of floor contacted heat conduction. The mean radiation temperature is applied form factor between half cross-legged human body and surrounding wall of indoor. In addition the floor contacted heat conduction is applied heat transfer coefficient of half cross-legged human body. Eight Korean young men were targeted for the experiment. From the experiment the authors excerpted physiological reaction and psychological reaction in Ondol environment which is combined physiccal environmental factor of artificial climate chamber, air and floor temperature. As a result of the experiment it is confirmed that heat conduction has more impact than heat exchange from existing research for the heat exchange between half cross-legged human body and surrounding wall in Ondol thermal environment. Thereby, it is proved the effectiveness of the modified mean skin temperature which is added floor contacted temperature to the Ondol thermal environmental evaluation index.

The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) studied the sodium-water reaction (SWR) minimized steam generator for the safety of the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), and selected the copper bonded steam generator (CBSG) as the optimal concept. This paper introduces the conceptual design of the CBSG and the development of the CBSG sizing analyzer (CBSGSA). The CBSG consists of multiple heat transfer modules with a crossflow heat transfer configuration where sodium flows horizontally and water flows vertically. The heat transfer modules are stacked along a vertical direction to achieve the targeted large heat transfer capacity. The CBSGSA code was developed for the thermal-hydraulic analysis of the CBSG in a multi-pass crossflow heat transfer configuration. Finally, we conducted a preliminary sizing and rating analysis of the CBSG for the trans-uranium (TRU) core system using the CBSGSA code proposed by KAERI.

A novel process to recover lithium and manganese oxides from a cathode material (LiMn₂O₄) of spent lithium-ion battery was attempted using thermal reaction with hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures. A hydrogen gas as a reducing agent was used with LiMn₂O₄ powder and it was found that separation of Li₂O and MnO was taken place at 1050℃. The powder after thermal process was washed away with distilled water and only lithium was dissolved in the water and manganese oxide powder left behind. It was noted that manganese oxide powder was found to be 98.20 wt.% and the lithium content in the solution was 1,928 ppm, respectively.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) has excellent thermal conductivity, whereas it has some disadvantage such as low sinterability. In this study, the effects of sintering additive content and sintering condition on thermal conductivity of pressureless sintered AlN ceramics were examined on the variables of 1~3 wt% sintering additive ($Y_2O_3$) content at $1900^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ atmosphere with holding time of 2~10 h. All AlN specimens showed higher thermal conductivity as the $Y_2O_3$ content and holding time increase. The formation of secondary phases (yttrium aluminates) by reaction of $Y_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ from AlN surface promoted the thermal conductivity of AlN specimens, because the secondary phases could reduce the oxygen contents in AlN lattice. Also, thermal conductivity was increased by long sintering time because of the uniform distribution and the elimination of the secondary phases at the grain boundary by the evaporation effect during long holding time. A carbothermal reduction reaction was also affected on the thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of AlN specimens sintered at $1900^{\circ}C$ for 10 h showed 130~200W/mK according to the content of sintering additive.

Thermal stability of exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (exo-THDCP) were investigated in a batch-type reactor perfectly coated with quartz. The 1 ml liquid product, which was a sufficiently small amount so as not to affect the reaction pressure, was sampled at 90 min intervals during the reaction and determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to measure thermal decomposition products of exo-THDCP and specify mechanism for additives (thermal stabilizer). Hydrogen donors (thermal stabilizer) such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ), benzyl alcohol (BnOH) increased thermal stability of exo-THDCP. These materials donated hydrogen to radical of exo-THDCP produced after initiation of exo-THDCP to decrease activity of primary products of exo-THDCP.

Fly ash is an industry by-product of thermal power factories that is broadly utilized in the concrete industry. This research shows a framework for evaluating the hydration heat, reaction amount, and strength progress of cement-fly ash binary composite. First, we conducted an experiment to study the isothermal hydration heat of fly ash composite paste with assorted fly ash contents and temperatures. According to the experimental outcomes of cumulative hydration heat, the coefficients of a kinetic reaction model of fly ash were determined. Furthermore, the reaction amount of fly ash was calculated using a fly ash reaction model. We discovered that the reaction of fly ash is considerably improved at elevated temperatures. The reaction amount of fly ash decreases with the growing content of fly ash. Second, in line with the reaction amount of fly ash and cement, we developed a straight-line equation for evaluating the strength progress of binary composite. The strength progress model applies to a number of water-to-binder ratios and fly ash substitution ratios. Summarily, the suggested hydration-heat-strength model is helpful for understanding the material style of fly ash concrete.

$Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ is an excellent red-emitting phosphor, which has been widely used for display devices due to highly luminescent property and chemical stability. In this study, $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ red phosphors were prepared using the solid state reaction and RF thermal plasma synthesis. The particle size of $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors obtained by the solid state reaction varied from 10 to $20{\mu}m$, and 30~100 nanometer sized $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ particles were obtained from a liquid form of raw material through RF thermal plasma synthesis without an additional heat treatment. Photoluminescence measurements of the obtained $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ particles showed a red emission peak at 611 nm ($^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$). PL intensity of red nano phosphors prepared by RF thermal plasma synthesis was comparable to that of red phosphors prepared by the solid state reaction, indicating that nano-sized $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ red phosphors could be successfully synthesized using one-step process of RF thermal plasma.
