The paper deals with the proper design of GGH(gas-gas heater) panel elements of desulfurization equipments in a thermoelectric power plant. When fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum et cetera are burnt to ashes, sulfur oxide compounds are produced, and calcareous sludges are deposited at GGH panel elements. In this case, operation of a power plant equipments is interrupted, and a tremendous economic loss comes into existence. One of the purposes of the paper is to find flow velocity distributions and regions of depositions when calcareous sludges pile up on the GGH panel elements through the fluid analysis. In the fluid analysis, flow velocity and position distributions of particles between GGH panel elements are demonstrated according to time variation for ammonia and calcium hydroxide particles.

In this paper, a 2D axisymmetric model of thermoelectric Finite Element Method (FEM) is developed to analyze the transient thermal behavior of Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) process using commercial software, called ANSYS. The determination of the contact resistance at the faying surface is moderately simplified to reduce the calculating time, while the temperature dependent material properties, phase change and convectional boundary conditions are taken account fur the improvement of the calculated accuracy. The thermal history of the whole process (including cooling) and temperature distributions for any position in the weldment is obtained through the analysis.

Temperature distribution on the flank face in orthogonal turning with cutting tool of high speed steel is studied by using a finite element method and experiments. Experiments are carried out to verify the validity of the temperature measurement by using a thermoelectric couple junciton imbedded in a cutting tool of high speed steel. Good agreement is obtained between the analytical results and the experimental ones for the temperature distributions on flank face of cutting tool with igh speed steel. The analytical results show that the temperature on the top flank face of a tool is higher because of the difference of the friction velocity on each face of the tool.

This paper describes the design of a small size Alkali Metal Thermal to Electric Converter (AMTEC) which employs a capillary structure for recirculating sodium working fluid. The cycle is based on the simple and small capillary type ${\beta}"$ -alumina and wick tube element. The proposed cell consists of the 37 conversion elements with capillary tube of $50{\mu}m$ in diameter and the sealed cylindrical vessel of 22mm in outer diameter. Results on the cycle analysis of sodium flow and heat transfer in the cell showed that the expected power output was 4.65W and the conversion efficiency was 19% for the source temperature of 900K.

This project studied a new generator utilizing the Seebeck effect. The major objective of this study was to prove the baseline concept through experimental studies. The important results from this study included design and fabrication of a laboratory scale generating system. The generating capacity of the TE-generator was 500Watt. The preliminary testing results showed the system efficiency of close to 20%. The experimental testing system has been built to include heating element, circulation pump and the instrumentation system included watt-hour meter, temperature sensor, and data acquisition system by the Hewlett-Packard 75000 Series.

It is important for the fabrication of nuclear cladding to optimize the microstructure, because the properties of Zr-based nuclear claddings such as mechanical properties, oxidation-resistance and corrosion- resistance vary widely with its microstructure. The microstructure in Zr-based alloy is strongly dependent on the solubility of alloying element. However, it is very difficult to measure the solubility due to the low solution limit of alloying elements in Zr-based alloy. In this study, Thermoelectric Power(TEP) measurements are used to determine the solubility of Nb in Zr-0.8Sn alloy, which is confirmed by optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The solutioning of Nb obtained by a homogenization treatment and water-quench leads to a decrease of TEP The saturation of TEP appears with the increase of homogenization temperature, which means the saturation of the Nb content in the matrix. From these results, the solubility ($C_{Nb}$) of Nb in Zr-0.8Sn with temperature could be expressed as fellow equation : $4.69097{\times}10^{16}{\times}e^{-25300\times\;I/T}$(ppm.at.%)

Thick films of Carbon fiber were prepared by a heating element of plan shape made in Darin co.. We have investigated surface morphology of the specimen depending on second heat-treatment temperatures. X-ray diffraction patterns of Carbon fiber thick films show that the specimen heat treated below $600^{\circ}C$ was an amorphous phase and the one heat treated above $1100^{\circ}C$ forms a poly-crystallization. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) image of Carbon fiber thick films of the specimen heat treated in between 900 and $1100^{\circ}C$ shows a grain growth. At $1100^{\circ}C$, the specimen stops grain-growing and becomes a poly-crystallization.

In Recent, it became necessary to develope the technology about electrodeless fluorescent lamp according to demand of the electodeless fluorescent lamp system that used higher efficiency and advantage of long-lifetime. Especially, in the electordeless fluorescent lamp which used H-mode, efficiency of lamp is decided from matching parameter of antena and inverter, so it is of the utmost importance to design antena and inverter. Therefore, this paper used a transformer principle for an efficiency rising of electrodeless fluorescent lamp and interpreted an equivalent circuit, and confirmed a luminance characteristic by ferrite change of antenna and change of coil turns. Also, this paper used the thermoelectric element which can let you cool ferrite and antenna and confirmed the luminance characteristic along a change of ferrite and an antenna temperature.

This paper has dealt with the probability of oyster shell desiccant cooling system driven by renewable energy of photo-voltaic effect. For this, fundamental experiments have been carried out focusing on the observation of dehumidifying effect of oyster shell and peltier elements used for air conditioning system. From this study, it is found that oyster shell has sufficient probability for using as a desiccant in air-conditioning system. Moreover, the heat releasing device(peltier element) can be used with direct current from PV cells so the system can be operated with high efficiency. As a result, the absolute humidity in a test chamber was reasonably controlled by oyster shell and peltier elements. Also the photo-voltaic energy from sun was enough for running power of this system.
