The experimental results on the mechanical behavior of high-strength concretes subjected to high temperature were presented. Main variables were heating temperature, heating continuance time, and cooling condition. The compressive strength properties of high strength concrete(HSC) varied differently with temperature than those of normal strength concrete(NSC). HSC had higher rates of strength loss than NSC in the temperature range of between $20^{circ}C$ and $400^{circ}C$. Especially, HSC exploded in $400^{circ}C$ of high temperature.

The objective of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the delayed hydride cracking (DHC) of Zr-2.5Nb alloy. The DHC model has some defects: first, it cannot explain why the DHC velocity (DHCV) becomes constant regardless of an applied stress intensity factor, even though the stress gradient is affected by the applied stress intensity factor at the notch tip. Second, it cannot explain why the DHCV has a strong dependence on the method of approaching the test temperature by a cool-down or a heating-up, even under the same stress gradient, and third, it cannot predict any hydride size effect on the DHC velocity. The DHC tests were conducted on Zr-2.5Nb compact tension specimens with the test temperatures reached by a heating-up method and a cool-down method. Crack velocities were measured in hydrided specimens, which were cooled from solution-treatment temperatures at different rates by being furnace-cooled, water-quenched, and liquid nitrogen-quenched. The resulting hydride size, morphology, and distributions were examined by optical metallography. It was found that fast cooling rates, which produce very finely dispersed hydrides, result in higher crack growth rates. This different DHC behavior of the Zr-2.5Nb tube with the cooling rate after a homogenization treatment is due to the precipitation of the $\gamma$-hydrides only in the water-quenched Zr-2.5Nb tube. This experiment will provide supporting evidence that the terminal solid solubility of a dissolution (TSSD) of $\gamma$-hydrides is higher than that of $\delta$-hydrides.

Korean district heating companies levy comprehensive construction fee on consumers in the beginning of construction period and the consumers' burden is much higher than those in any other network industries in Korea. It has also many problems such as inappropriate fee calculation method, cross subsidization, property right dispute, etc.. I show that the cut of construction fee by 30% and at the same time, the upward adjustment of tariff rates by 4~6% for 20 years on average will maintain current profitability based on the standard model simulation, I also suggest that fixed charge part of double tariff should be increased to 25% of total tariff and the cut of construction fee should be levied on fixed charge, directly to improve efficiency.

Changes of pH, titratible acidity, undenatured whey protein contents and the rates of loss of available lysine in market milks were investigated to find out the effective indicators for identification and classification of different heat treatment. There showed no change of both pH and titratiable acidity among the heating methods in market milks. The contents of undenatured wheyprotein per 100ml serum were determined as 413.7mg(LTLT), 341.3mg(HTSP), 6.9mg(UHT pasteurized) and 96.6mg(UHT sterilized), respectively. Distinct differences of underatured whey protein contents accoriding to the heating method could be observed. The rates of loss of available lysine in heated milks compared to raw milk showed 1.4% (LTLT), 0.2%(HTST), 6.3%(UHT pasteurized) and 4.9%(UHT sterillized), respectively. The rates of loss of available lysine were not suitable to classify the UHT heating method.

Radiant floor heating systems have been used as common heating supply systems in most residential buildings in Korea. Since the system uses a floor as thermal storage, proper control strategy should be adopted to avoid over-or under-heating problems. So far, studies related to control of the floor heating system have been conducted based on computer simulations. The active layer in TRNSYS is known for its usability as a floor heating system model and is integrated with the TRNSYS building model (Type 56). However, floor heating system simulations with the active layer are operated only if pre-defined minimum mass flow rate is ensured. This study proposes a simple RC (Resistance-Capacitance) model for radiant floor heating systems. Model parameters such as Rs and Cs are defined by optimization. The active layer, in this study, is used as the target system to search for optimal values. A TRNOPT optimization tool was used to conduct optimization under given simulation conditions. The RC model with optimal parameters are tested in other mass flow rates that were not used during optimization. Results reveal the RC model describes the active layer with successfully optimized model parameters. The RC model has fewer model limitations, and is expected to be used for various target systems, e.g. experimental data of a real radiant heating system.

NaY zeolites synthesized by microwave heating were compared with those obtained by conventional heating. When the same temperature increasing rates were adopted in both heating methods, the microwave heating shortened the induction period and enhanced the rate of crystallization of NaY zeolites compared with the conventional heating. Irrespective of microwave radiation, the fast temperature increasing rate also shortened the induction time and enhanced the crystallization of NaY zeolites. The crystal sizes of NaY zeolites were large under the fast temperature raise of the reaction mixture and became larger by microwave radiation. At the same time, the fast temperature increasing rate has reduced the energy consumption due to the fast completion of reaction during the synthesis of NaY zeolite. The energy consumption in the conventional ethylene glycol bath was lower than that in the microwave oven with the same temperature increasing rate in this study, which means that the energy efficiency is not always high in microwave heating. If the temperature increasing rate is carefully controlled, however, NaY zeolite can be produced with high energy efficiency in the microwave oven.

This paper presents a safety assessment method for FTA-based induction heating systems; the failures and causes of electrical fire are first analyzed for each part and module qualitatively, and methods to manage high probabilities of failure and electrical fire are considered, thereby improving the reliability of the induction heating system. The cumulative importance value (ACC) of the minimal cut set is drawn by setting failure as the top event, and STACK and SMPS are observed to account for about 70% of the induction heating system failures. Thus, intensively managing the basic events contained in the minimal cut set of failures for STACK and SMPS is expected to provide effective and stable operation of the induction heating system. When electrical fire is set as the top event, the STACK percentage is 90%. Accordingly, the current IGBT is changed to a FET to increase the applied voltage and prevent induction heating system failure, and a heat sink plane is installed to prevent FET heating caused by switching, thereby preventing an electrical fire. By classifying the parts and modules of the induction heating system in detail and by applying FTA based on actual failure rates and relevant data, more practical and reasonable results may be expected. Hence, continuous research must be conducted to ensure safety when using induction heating systems.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different heating rates on the thermal properties of pork loin muscle by DSC. Pork loin muscle was subjected to programmed heating at the following heating rate: 5, 10, 20, 30 and $40^{\circ}C/min$. Peaks were progressively shifted to right side as the heating rate was increased. $T_0$ was $50.39^{\circ}C$ at $5^{\circ}C/min$ and it was increased to $57.45^{\circ}C$ at $40^{\circ}C/min$ (p<0.05). Total enthalpy was 3.52 J/g at $5^{\circ}C/min$ and total enthalpy was increased to 3.60, 4.14, 4.54 and 4.61 J/g by degrees at heating rate 10, 20, 30 and $40^{\circ}C/min$ respectively.

The thermal performance of a heating board with microencapsualted PCM was investigated and compared to conventional heating board. The employed PCM was the myristic acid $$ and was encapsulated by the multiple layers of PMMA and paraffin wax. The size of encapsulated PCM was $1{\sim}1.5mm$. Accoring to ANSI/ASHRAE test procedure, the close-loop test configuration was installed. Air was used as the heat transfer fluid and a calibrated orifice was employed for the measurement of air flow rates. The thermal performance test of two different heating boards(with 10 wt% PCM and without PCM) was conducted for different air flow rates and the heat transfer characteristics during cooling was compared. The test results showed that the surface temperature of heating board with 10 wt% PCM maintained higher during the cooling process than that of the heating board without PCM and experimentally determined heat transfer coefficient in heating board with PCM showed higher value compared to heating board without PCM.
