In the design of an electric power plant, the capacity to meet the peak load demand is one of the important factors to be considered. This peak load usually occurs when the most of the cooling air conditioning systems are being operated during daytime in summer season, which inevitably entails the construction of an additional electric power plant. This study is aimed to carry out a basic experiment for the development of a cooling air conditioning system using the ice energy by the surplus electric power during the night-time. The experimental apparatus consists of four major parts; (1) the heating section consisting of the air duct and I.D. fan, (2) the cold section with the ice chamber, (3) the bundle of heat pipes made in a form of the staggered arrangement with ${C_y}/{d_o}$=2.0 and ${C_x}/{d_o}$=1.73, (4) the refrigerator system to cool down the ice chamber. This study involves an intensive experiment concerning the convective heat transfer of the air flow surrounding the bundle of heat pipes. This major experimental parameters are the amount of working fluid, the velocity of air and the working temperature. The major findings of the present study are as follows; (1) The optimum amount of the working fluid necessary for the horizontal heat pipes is much more than that for the vertical type. (2) The convective heat transfer coefficients of the air are coincided with the empirical equations of Grimson and ${\breve{Z}ukauskas}$. (3) The equation of the mean heat transfer coefficient obtained in the present study is ${N_um}=0.32 {Re_max^{0.63}}$.

The thermal distributions near the growth interface of 150mm CZ crystals were measured by three thermocouples installed at the center, middle (half radius) and edge (10m from surface) of the crystals. The results show that larger growth rates produced smaller thermal gradients. This contradicts the widely used heat flux balance equation. Using this fact, it si confirmed in CZ crystals that the type of point defects created is determined by the value of the thermal gradient (G) near the interface during growth, as already reported for FZ crystals. Although depending on the growth systems the effective lengths of the thermal gradient for defect generation are varied, were defined the effective length as 10mm from the interface in this experiment. If the G is roughly smaller than 20C/cm, vacancy rich CZ crystals are produced. If G is larger than 25C/cm, the species of point defects changes dramatically from vacancies to interstitial. The experimental results which FZ and CZ crystals are detached from the melt show that growth interfaces are filled with vacancy. We propose that large G produces shrunk lattice spacing and in order to relax such lattice excess interstitial are necessary. Such interstitial recombine with vacancies which were generated at the growth interface, next occupy interstitial sites and residuals aggregate themselves to make stacking faults and dislocation loops during cooling. The shape of the growth interface is also determined by the distributions of G across the interface. That is, the small G and the large G in the center induce concave and convex interfaces to the melt, respectively.

The preparation of $TiO_2$ fine particles from $TiCl_4$ and oxygen by the vapor-phasereaction was investigated at $850^{\circ}C$ with an emphasis on the effect of its experimental conditions on the crystal type of the products. Anatase $TiO_2$ particles prepared by experiment were used to study anatase-rutile transition by calcination temperature, the additives and gas atmosphere. The results were as follows. The kinetics of anatase-rutile transition was well agreed with A vrami equation, and the activation energy of transition was 35kcal/mol. The addition of CuO in anatase $TiO_2$ particles accelerated the anatase-rutile transition, and its transition was retarded in vaccum.

Numerical analysis of 150kW Huels-type arc jet was performed using compressible Navier-Stokes CFD code. To consider chemical reaction by high temperature, the flow was assumed to be chemical equilibrium states. As a turbulence and a radiation model, the two-equation k-epsilon model and the 3-band radiation model were adopted, respectively. Mass flow rate and current density were given as conditions for calculations. In this study, two kinds of mechanisms for injection of air flow wire considered. One is that air is provided by left wall surface and the other is that air is injected from upper wall surface. The pressure, density and temperature contours of two cases were compared and heat transfer rates were estimated. The numerical results of two cases were not much different to each other. However, in real 150KW device, air is injected from upper wall surface with swirl. To calculate more accurately, swirl effect is must be considered.

Austenitic stainless steel has been investigated widely for creep strength of heat resistant material and effects of grain sizes due to various solution treatment time under constant temperature. It was studied that effects of grain sizes subject to solution treatment temperature 1100.deg. C, 1125.deg. C, 1175.deg. C, 1250.deg C, and 1300.deg. C respectively on the creep strength, fracture behaviour and fractography of SUS 316 stainless steel. The experimental results obtained were as follows. 1. The optimum grain size for the maximum creep strength did not vary with creep testing temperatures and stress levels. 2. Among various grain sizes due to different solution treatment temperature, the optimum grain size for the creep strength was found 0.044mm. Also the size showed the minimum initial strain regardless creep temperature. 3. Garofalo's equation of creep rupture life was applied well to SUS 316 stainless steel. 4. The fractography of optimum size was ductile intergranular fracture of dimple type and showed along with the increase of grain size intergranular fracture of w type.

The thermal response of carbon/phenolic used in a solid rocket nozzle liner was analyzed. In this paper, the numerical analysis of the thermal response of carbon/phenolic consists of (1) the integration equation of the boundary layer to obtain the convective heat transfer coefficient of the combustion gas on the rocket nozzle wall and (2) 1-D finite difference method for heat conduction of carbon/phenolic to calculate the ablation, char, and temperature. The calculated result was compared with the result of a blast-tube-type test motor. It is found that the calculated result shows good agreement with the thermal response of the test motor, except at the vicinity of the throat insert.

To predict the qualitative performance characteristics of Stirling Engines, an analytical approach to the Ideal Adiabatic Model set up by Urieli et al. has been treated. First, volume variations of both the expansion and the compression cylinders are approximated to piecewise linear function of the crank angle, which make it possible to specify the mass flow direction of each cylinder a priori to solve a set of basic equation. In consequences, an engine cycle can be considered as a combination of 4-type fundamental process. For each process, pressure is obtained as a solution of the algebraic equation. Application of the cyclic steady condition to the whole cycle completes the analysis. Further investigations result in analytical expressions for cyclic heat and work in terms of dependent variables determined from the pressure. The results are expected useful in establishing the preliminary design conditions of Stirling Engines.

The thermal reliability of the closed-type BLDC motor for the high speed axial fans is analyzed by a numerical method in this paper. Since the module and the motor part are combined in a closed case, the heat generated from a rotor in the motor and the electronic components in the PCB module can not be effectively removed to the outside. Therefore the module will easily fail by high temperature. The accelerated-life testing was accomplished to formulate the life equation and numerical method is used to predict the inside temperature of the PCB module, which is one of the life equation parameter according to the environment. When the environment temperature of BLDC motor is 21, 35 and 50 $^{\circ}C$, the temperature in the PCB space is predicted as 73.4, 87.5 and 102.4 $^{\circ}C$. Then the life time with the temperature are calculated as 2,239, 863 and 328 hours.

A rapid expansion of the moist air or stream through transonic nozzle often leads to not-equilibrium condensation shock, causing a considerable amount of energy loss to the entire flow field. Depending on amount of heat released, condensation shock wave occurs in the nozzle and interacts with the boundary layer flow. In the current study, a passive control technique using a porous wall with a plenum cavity underneath is applied for purpose of alleviation the condensation shock wave in a transonic nozzle. A droplet growth equation is incorporated into two-dimensional wavier-Stokes equation systems. Computations are carried out using a third-order MUSCL type TVD finite-difference scheme with a second-order fractional time step. An experiment using an indraft transonic wind tunnel is made to validate the present computational results. The results obtained show that the magnitude of condensation shock wave is reduced by the current passive control method.
