Experimental study is conducted to investigate the cooling performance of impinging jet from microtube using Joule-Thomson effect to apply practical applications. And also the heat transfer characteristics of a impinging jet itself and the impinging jet with Joule-Thomson effect are tested to make a comparative study of the two different general ideas. For this propose, two kinds of copper microtubes which have 200 tim and 300 tim in inner diameter respectively were tested and $N_2$ was used as a working fluid. In case of impinging jet without Joule-Thomson effect, heat transfer coefficients distributions were similar to those of normal impinging jet. But in impinging jet with Joule-Thomson effect, the heat transfer coefficients decrease as jet-to-surface increases contrary to the case of the normal jet. As a result, much higher heat transfer coefficients are obtained with Joule-Thomson effect than those of the normal jet without J-T effect.

This research deals with the study of the Thomson heating effect in magneto-thermoelastic homogeneous isotropic rotating medium, influenced by linearly distributed load and as a result of modified couple stress theory. The charge density is taken as a function of the time of the induced electric current. The heat conduction equation with energy dissipation and with hyperbolic two-temperature (H2T) is used to formulate the model of the problem. Laplace and Fourier transforms are used to solve this mathematical model. Various components of displacement, temperature change, and axial stress as well as couple stress are obtained from the transformed domain. To get the solution in physical domain, numerical inversion techniques have been employed. The Thomson effect with GN (Green-Nagdhi) -III theory and Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST) is shown graphically on the physical quantities.

NPT ensemble을 이용하여 Joule-Thomson 반전 곡선 (Joule-Thomson inversion curve, JTIC)를 구하는 기존의 모의실험 방법들과는 달리, 본 연구에서는 NVT 분자동역학 모의실험을 이용하여 JTIC를 구하는 방법을 개발하고, 이 방법을 이용하여 아르곤 기체의 JTIC를 구할 수 있음을 보인다. 본 연구 결과를 실험 및 다른 이론들과 비교, 분석한 결과, 낮은 온도에서의 JTIC는 실험 및 이론 결과와 유사한 반면, 높은 온도에서는 일정 정도의 차이를 나타냄을 알 수 있다. 이 차이는 분자동역학 모의실험에 사용하는 적은 입자 수와 모의실험 시간, 그리고 curve fitting 방법 등에 기인하는 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 본 연구를 통하여 NVT 분자동역학 모의실험 방법만 가능한, EDISON 계산화학 프로그램 중 하나인 "Mixed LJ(12-6) particles MD"가 JTIC를 구하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있고, 이를 통해 학부생들이 열역학의 기본 개념을 이해하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

Energy separation characteristic occurring in a counterflow vortex tube was studied experimentally, where air, $C_2$, and R22 were used as working fluids. The experiments were carried out with pressure ratio from 3 to 8 and cold mass fraction(y) from 0.1 to 0.9. As results, Ranque-Hilsch effect showed different results from adiabatic expansion process. Temperature difference in vortex tube outlet was affected by Joule-Thomson effect as well as Ranque-Hilsch effect. The more effective the energy separation was, the more increased the entropy in the cold oulet of vortex tube was.

A numerical method for determining the temperature vartiation in a natural gas transmission line is presented. By considering an element of the gas pipeline and assuming radially lumped heat transfer at steady-state conditions, the energy equation is developed. The integration of the developed nonlinear differential equation is done numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme. The results of the present study have been compared with the results of Coulter equations, and show a fairly good agreement.

The operating temperature range of the natural gas pipeline in Arctic environment would be controlled primarily to optimize gas throughput and to minimize the environmental impact resulting from operation of such pipelines. The temperature of the gas as it flows through the pipeline is a function of both the Joule-Thomson effect and the pipe to soil heat transfer. Therefore, the heat transfer and Joule-Thomson effect of the buried natural gas pipeline in this study were carefully considered. Soil temperatures and overall heat transfer coefficients were assumed to be $0{\sim}-20^{\circ}C$ and $0{\sim}5.5W/m^2K$, respectively. The gas temperature and pressure calculations along a pipeline were performed simultaneously at different soil temperatures and overall heat transfer coefficients. Also, this study predicted the phase change and hydrate formation for different soil temperatures and overall heat transfer coefficients using HYSYS simulation package.

The purpose of the paper is to analyze an effectiveness before and after implementation of the median arterial bus lanes operation. The paper includes a speed analysis based on the Downs-Thomson Paradox theory, and a reliability analysis based on variance analysis of arrival time. According to the speed analysis, some road sections are now under phase 2 according to the Downs-Thomson Paradox, which is a state in which the bus speeds are greater than the car speeds. In the future it is predicted that cars and buses will reach an equilibrium speed which is in phase 3 of the multi-modal equilibrium theory. According to the reliability analysis of arrival time at each bus stop, in roads of median arterial bus lanes. the variance of arrival time is generally smaller than after the scheme implemented in eight months later.

Laser Thomson scattering measurements of electrom temperature and density in a neutral loop discharge (NLD) plasma were performed in order to reveal the electron behavior around the neutral loop (NL). The experimental results were examined by using a simulation model that included effects of a three dimensional electromagnetic field with spatial decay of the RF electric field, and the limitation of the spatial extent of the electron motion and collision effect. From the experiments and modeling of the electron behavior, it was found that NLD plasma posses the electron temeprature $T_{e}$ and density ne peaks around the NL is essential for the formation of plasma. Also, the optimum condition of plasma production could be simply estimated by the calculation of $U_{av}$ and $F_{0}$././.

An arc eliminator allows a surge current bypass rapidly into the earth to facilitate the circuit breaking process and increase the stability of the load circuit. Thomson coil actuator (TCA) is a type of actuator that can function as an arc eliminator. The TCA has a simple structure and significantly rapid speed compared to the other types of actuators. In this paper, significant variables, which have a dominant effect on the performance of the TCA, are investigated in detail. Using these variables and an optimization algorithm, an optimal design strategy for the TCA is proposed in this research. The efficacy of the proposed optimal design strategy and the feasibility of the application of the designed TCA for a high power circuit breaker as the arc eliminators are validated through the experiment.

Miniature Joule-Thomson refrigerators have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, probes of cryosurgery, thermal cameras, missile homing head and guidance system, due to their special features of simple configuration, compact structure and rapid cool-down characteristics. The thermodynamic performance of J-T refrigerator highly depends on the hydraulic and heat transfer characteristics of the recuperative heat exchanger. The typical recuperative heat exchanger of the J-T refrigerator has the double helical tube and fin configuration. In this study, effectiveness-NTU approach was adopted to predict the thermodynamic behaviors of the heat exchanger for the J-T refrigerator. The thermodynamic properties from the REFPROP were used to account the real gas effects of the gas. The results show the effect of the operating conditions on the performance of the heat exchanger and refrigerator for the given heat exchanger. The influences of mass flow rate and the supply pressure on the effectiveness of heat exchanger and the ideal cooling capacity are discussed in details.
