The effects of hole expansion angle and the arrangement of nozzles on a film cooling system for a turbine-blade-shaped surface were experimentally investigated. Liquid crystal with flue-temperature correlation and an image processing system were employed to evaluate surface temperature. Distributions of cooling effectiveness were then presented to figure out the change of heat transfer characteristics with different geometric conditions of cooling-holes. It was found thats the averaged cooling efficiency on the suction surface was maximum with 10 degree of the cooling hole expansion angle. It was also shown that the averaged cooling efficiency on the pressure surface and the averaged cooling efficiency for dual array case were not affected by the hole expansion angle.

VO$_{x}$ and V$_{1-x}$ Sn$_{x}$O$_2$thin films were fabricated on a glass under various $O_2$pressure by reactive e-beam evaporation method. Thermochromism and transition temperatures of these thin films were examined by measuring spectral solar transmittances with spectrophotometer at various temperatures, and their stoichiometries were analyzed by RBS. Oxygen pressure of 5$\times$10$^{-5}$ . Torr was found to be optimum to fabricate near stoichiometric VO$_2$thin film by reactive e-beam evaporation. Rapid thermal annealing(RTA) was adopted to crystallize the thin films and annealing at 40$0^{\circ}C$ ~45$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 ~ 30 seconds was found to be the optimum annealing condition for the crystallization of VO$_2$thin film of 100nm-300nm thickness. 1~6 atomic percent of Sn was doped into VO$_2$thin films to fabricate V$_{1-x}$ Sn$_{x}$O$_2$thin films. These V$_{1-x}$ Sn$_{x}$O$_2$thin films showed distinct thermochromism and significantly higher transition temperatures than VO$_2$thin film.

Heat transfer characteristics of distance between impinging surface and a plane jet were experi-mentally investigated. The local heat transfer coefficients were measured by a thermochromic liq-uid crystal(TLC) The jet Reynolds number studied was varied over the range from 10,000310 to 30,000310 the nozzle-to-plate distance (H/B) from 4 to 10. It was observed that the Nusselt number increases with Reynolds number the occurrence of the secondary peak in the Nusselt number is within the potential core region the potential core of the jet flow can reach the impinging surface so that the wall jet can a transition from laminar to turbulent flow resulting in a sudden increase in the heat transfer rate.

Heat transfer characteristics of a two-dimensional oblique impinging jet were experimentally investigated. The local heat transfer coefficients were measured by a thermochromic liquid crystal. The jet Reynolds number studied was varied from 10000 to 35000, the nozzle-to-plate distance(H/B) from 2 to 16, and the oblique angle($\alpha$) from $60^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. It was observed that the local Nusselt numbers in the minor flow region were larger than those in the major flow region at the same distance along the plate due to the higher levels in the turbulent intensity caused by more active mixing of the jet flow.

The thermo-optical characteristics of new generation fully reversible diacetylene vesicles, DCDDA-mono-mBzA and DCDDA-bis-mCPE, and their solid film composites are utilized as thermochromic display materials. Conspicuous color intensity of their solid films and blue-to-red color shift with non-fluorescent to fluorescent switching at $100^{\circ}C$ make them promising materials for dual color thermally actuated display devices of the near future.

This work offers a promising approach for development of a temperature-responsive colorimetric display platform. For this purpose, uniform thermochromic microcapsules consisting of a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) core and a thin polyurethane shell layer were fabricated by conducting in-situ condensation polymerization at the interface of monodisperse CLC-in-water emulsion drops. Colloidal packing-driven microcapsule registry led to exact 2-dimensional positioning of CLC microcapsules into a holes-patterned flexible film stencil. Furthermore, we showed that the designated registry of different color types of CLC microcapsules on the stencil enabled development of a microwriting display technology capable of reversible text representation according to temperature change.

The temperature change due to focused ultrasound in dissipative acoustic medium is very important because it provides us much information. To measure the temperature change inside of the dissipative acoustic medium non-invasively, we adopt a temperature sensitive film which has thermochromic particles with critical temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. As a dissipative acoustic medium, agar layer is chosen in the study. The temperature change due to the ultrasound was measured depending on the concentration of the sugar in the agar layer. The color change on the film due to the ultrasound was investigated when the concentration of sugar was from 25% to 40%. As the result, there were rapid increases of discolored area on the film within 2~5 second after the ultrasound driving and the increasing rates decreased after the period. To compare the simulation results were also shown. However in the simulated result, the discolored areas linearly increased from start to 10 seconds. The reason of the differences between the experimental results and simulated ones is that the change of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the medium were not considered in the simulation program.

An experimental study on the convective heat transfer characteristics was performed for a two-dimensional wall attaching offset jet(WAOJ). Thermochromic liquid crystal was used to measure the plate wall temperature. The Nusselt number was measured for Reynolds numbers from 6, 500 to 39, 000, and the offset ratios from 0.5 to 15. The maximum Nusselt number point coincides with the time-averaged reattachment point and Nusselt number decreases monotonically after the jet reattaches on the wall. In the recirculation region Nusselt number minimize near the upstream corner and then increases as X/D decreases to vanishes. This suggests the existence of secondary vortices, causing an additional mixing of the flow in the corner. The correlations between the local Nusselt number and Reynolds number, Re, offset ratio, H/D, and streamwise distance, X/D are presented.

$VO_2$ is an attractive thermochromic material, in which its electrical and optical properties can be switched by the structural phase-transition about $68^{\circ}C$. Recently, graphene is also a rising material which is researched as a transparent electrode because of its superior electrical and optical characteristics. In this respect, we try to fabricate the hybridized films using $VO_2$ and graphene on transparent sapphire substrate and then we investigate a structure and characterize an optical property for the samples as a function of temperature. According to the result of IR-transmittance analysis of $VO_2$ films as a function of temperature, the graphene-supported sapphire substrates are better about 10% than the bare sapphire substrates. The mean phase transition temperatures are also decreased as the number of graphene-layers increased and the hysteresis of phase transitions are narrowed.

Variable emittance radiators can be used in a thermal management system in space because their total emittance changes depending on the temperature of the system. When the temperature of the system decreased, the emittance also decreased so as to minimize the heat loss to the environment. In contrast, when the temperature of the system increased, the emittance also increased such that radiation cooling could occur. Thermochromic materials, whose emittance is a function of the temperature, are often used in variable emittance radiators because no additional parts are needed. In this study, we fabricated a variable-emittance coating by using a sol-gel method based on LSMO ($La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3$) and experimentally characterized the emittance change with respect to temperature. Furthermore, we also examined the stability of LSMO film in space environments by exposing it to extremely low pressure and temperature.
