A metallic microcell UO₂ pellet has a microstructure where a metal wall is connected to overcome the low thermal conductivity of the UO₂ fuel pellet. It has been verified that metallic microcell fuel pellets provide an impressive reduction of the fuel centerline temperature through a Halden irradiation test. However, it is difficult to predict the effective thermal conductivity of these pellets and researchers have had to rely on measurement and use of the finite element method. In this study, we designed a unit microcell model using a thermal resistance circuit to calculate the effective thermal conductivity on the basis of the microstructure characteristics by using the aspect ratio and compared the results with those of reported metallic UO₂ microcell pellets. In particular, using the thermal conductivity calculated by our model, the fuel centerline temperature of Cr microcell pellets on the 5th day of the Halden irradiation test was predicted within 6% error from the measured value.

기상이변으로 인한 식물 스트레스를 평가하기 위해 토양과 식물에 적용할 수 있는 여러 센서가 개발되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 식물의 온도 스트레스를 평가하기 위해 다양한 센서를 사용하여 기후 및 토양 상태와 식물 반응을 모니터링하는 것이다. 식물 반응을 평가하기 위한 식물 센서로 식물 줄기의 전기전도도, sap flow rate를 모니터링하였다. 식물 줄기의 전기전도도는 물과 이온 수송을 포함한 식물의 생리적 활성을 반영한다. 완전히 자란 Brassica oleracea var. italica를 온도 20/15 ℃ (낮/밤), 16시간 광주기로 하여 대조구로 설정하였으며 저온 15/10 ℃ 및 고온 35/30 ℃에 노출시키면서 토양 및 식물 상태를 모니터링하였다. 식물 줄기의 전기전도도, sap flow rate는 낮에는 증가하고 밤에는 감소하였다. 저온 스트레스 하에서 Brassica oleracea var. italica 줄기의 전기전도도는 대조구보다 낮았고, 고온 스트레스 하에서는 대조구보다 높아 물과 이온 수송이 온도에 의해 영향을 받았음을 나타낸다. 그러나 엽록소 a와 b 함량은 저온 스트레스를 받은 잎에서 증가했고 고온 스트레스를 받은 잎에서는 대조구와 차이가 없었다. 잎의 프롤린 함량은 저온 스트레스에서는 대조구와 차이가 없는 반면, 고온 스트레스에서는 증가했다. 프롤린 합성은 환경 스트레스 하에서 식물의 방어 메커니즘으로 작용한다. 따라서 Brassica oleracea var. Italica는 저온보다 고온 스트레스에 더 민감한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the equipment for thermal conductivity measurement by radial heat flow method was constructed in order to measure the powder state materials like kaolin. The Kaya and Hadong kaolins were chosen as the test powders because of their abundent reserves and the thermal conductivity values of those powders were measured at the different temperatures and densities. As the results of this study, it was found that the thermal conductivity of kaolin was constant at rather low temperature range from 10 to $42^{\circ}C$ and greatly affected by the density variation.

Solar electrical conductivity has been calculated, making use of Yun and Wyller's formulation. The computed results arc presented in a tabulated form as functions of temperature and pressure for given magnetic field strengths. The results of the calculation show that the magnetic field does not play any important role in characterizing the electrical conductivity of the ionized gas when the gas pressure is relatively high (e.g., $P{\geq}10^4\;dynes/cm^2$). However, when the gas pressure is low (e.g., $P{\leq}10\;dynes/cm^2$), the magnetic field becomes very effective even if its field strength is quite small (e.g., $B{\leq}0.01$ gauss). It is also found that, except for lower temperature region (e.g., $T{\leq}10^{4^{\circ}}K$), there is a certain linear relationship in a log- log graph between the pressure and the critical magnetic field strength, which is defined as a field strength capable of reducing the non-magnetic component of the electrical conductivity by 20%.

Poly-Si films have been prepared by solid phase crystallization of LPCVD(low-pressure CVD) amorphous silicon. The crystallinity of poly-Si films has been derived from UV reflectance spectrum and lies in the range between 70% and 80% . From XRD measurement the peak at 28.2$^{\circ}$from (111) plane is dominantly detected in the SPC poly-Si films, The average grain size of poly-Si film is determined by the image of SEM and varies from 4000 $\AA$ to 8000$\AA$. The electrical conductivity of as-deposited amorphous silicon film is about 2.5$\times$10$^{-7}$ ($\Omega$.cm)$^{-1}$ , and 3~4$\times$10$^{-6}$ ($\Omega$.cm)$^{-1}$ of room temperature conductivity is the SPC poly-Si films. The conductivity activation energies are 0.5~0.6 eV or the 500$\AA$-thick poly-Si films.

A method to measure heating value of natural gas using sound velocity and thermal conductivity is proposed to solve the low heating value issues of imported natural gas in South Korea. Natural gas generally consists of methane, butane, ethane, and inert gases. Heating value changes as the gas material properties, such as density, wobbe index, etc., varies. It is highly important to measure heating values of natural gases accurately because measuring the heating value depends on the given natural gases' components. Therefore, sound velocity and thermal conductivity is measured to estimate indirectly heating value of Natural gas with their changed components.

The measurement method of electrical conductivity of the metal use a generally DC technique. Traceability to national standards in many countries is achieved using DC measurement technique and recently it's interested in AC technique. As a results for AC technique, the properties of electrical conductivity of non-ferrous and ferrous metals is decreasing at low frequency level.

In this research paper, the thermal transport in thorium dioxide is investigated by using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. The thermal conductivity of bulk thorium dioxide was measured to be 20.8 W/m-K, confirming reported values, and the phonon mean free path was estimated to be between 7 and 8.5 nm at 300 K. It was observed that the thermal conductivity of thorium dioxide shows a strong dependency on temperature; the highest thermal conductivity was estimated to be 77.3 W/m-K at 100 K, and the lowest thermal conductivity was estimated to be 4.3 W/m-K at 1200 K. In addition, by simulating thorium dioxide structures with different lengths at different temperatures, it was identified that short wavelength phonons dominate thermal transport in thorium dioxide at high temperatures, resulting in decreased intrinsic phonon mean free paths and minimal effect of boundary scattering while long wavelength phonons dominate the thermal transport in thorium dioxide at low temperatures.

Electrical conductivites of polycrystalline yttrium sesquioxides containing 1.6 and 3.2 mol % of holmium sesquioxdes have been measured from 650 to $1050^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressures of $1{\times}10^{-5}$ to $2{\times}10^{-1}$ atm. Plots of log conductivity vs. 1/T at constant oxygen partial pressures are found to be linear away from the two inflection points. The low- and high-temperature dependences of conductivity show different defect structures of yttrium sesquioxide. The plots of log conductivity vs. log $PO_2$ are found to be linear at $PO_{2'}$s of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-1} atm. The electrical conductivity dependences on $PO_2$ are found to be $1}5.3$ at $950-1050^{\circ}C$, $\frac{6}{1}$ at $800-950^{\circ}C$ and ($\frac{6.2}{1}$) - ($\frac{6.5}{1}$) at $650-800^{\circ}C$, respectively. The defect structures and conduction mechanisms have been suggested.

Rigid urethane foam is widely applied because it is light and has superior insulation performance compared to insulation materials such as EPS or glass wool. However, it has the disadvantage of being vulnerable to fire. Therefore, in this study, before proceeding with the research to improve the fire resistance of the rigid polyurethane foam, we would like to investigate the change in density and thermal conductivity of the rigid polyurethane foam according to the change in the mixed weight of the main material and the curing agent. It was found that the density increased as the mixed weight increased. The thermal conductivity showed similar values overall. As for the density distribution, the central part was low and the outer part was high.
