  • The present study has been performed for obtaining the melting heat transfer enhancement characteristics of water mixture slurries of plural microcapsules having different diameters encapsulated with solid-liquid phase change material(PCM) flowing in a pipe heated under a constant wall heat flux condition. In the turbulent flow region, the friction factor of the present PCM slurry was to be lower than that of only water flow due to the drag reducing effect of the PCM slurry. The heat transfer coefficient of the PCM slurry flow in the pipe was increased by both effects of latent heat involved in phase change process and microconvection around plural microcapsules with different diameters. The experimental results revealed that the average heat transfer coefficient of the PCM slurry flow was about 2~2.8 times greater than that of a single phase of water.

  • This paper describes the development of pulse code modulation(PCM) data recorder with design, implementation and environmental test. PCM serial data that diverged from telemetry encoder output is used as the input and is reformed to parallel signal through FPGA processing. Controllers construct the packet by the sector and record it into non-volatile memory. Compact flash(CF) memory for data storage media, USB interface for data downloading, and a software for operating status diagnosis and file format conversion are used.

  • The conflict between indoor environmental quality and energy consumption has become an unneglectable problem for highrise office buildings, where occupants' productivity is highly affected by their working environment. An effective Façade, therefore, should play the role of an active building skin by adapting to the ever-changing external environment and internal requirements. This paper explores the energy-saving and indoor environment-improving potential of a phase-change material (PCM) integrated Façade. Building performance simulations, combined with parametric study and sensitivity analysis, are adopted in this research. The result quantifies the potential of a PCM-integrated Façade with different configurations and PCM properties, taking as an example a south-oriented typical office room in Shanghai. It is found that a melting temperature of around $22^{\circ}C$ for the PCM layer is optimal. Compared to a conventional Façade, a PCM-integrated Façade effectively reduces total energy use, peak heating/cooling load, and operative temperature fluctuation during the periods of May-July and November-December.

  • In this paper, variable threshold detection with weighted pulse code modulation-encoded signals transmitted over Gaussian channels has been investigated. Each bit in the \ulcornerlaw PCM word is weighted according to its significance in the transmitter. It the output falls into the erasure zone, the regenerated sample replaced by interpolation or prediction. To overall system signal to noise ratio for BPSK/PCM speech signals of this technique has been found. When the input signal level was -17 db, the gains in overall signal s/n compared to weighted PCM and variable threshold detection were 5 db and 3 db, respectively. Computer simulation was performed generating signals by computer. The simulation was in resonable agreement with our theoretical prediction.

  • PCM/FM with a modulation index of 0.7 is widely used in the telemetry field. If the modulation index is slightly changed to 2/3, it can be interpreted as 3-PSK with a state number of 3 in phase transition trellis and can be received with a simple Viterbi decoder. As a result of computer simulation, the Eb/No performance in the AWGN channel is about 8.3 dB when the BER is 10-5, which is close to the theoretical limit.

  • The energy efficiency of memory systems is an important task in designing future computer systems as memory capacity continues to increase to accommodate the growing big data. In this article, we present an energy-efficient last-level cache management policy for future mobile systems. The proposed policy makes use of low-power PCM (phase-change memory) as the main memory medium, and reduces the amount of data written to PCM, thereby saving memory energy consumptions. To do so, the policy keeps track of the modified cache lines within each cache block, and replaces the last-level cache block that incurs the smallest PCM writing upon cache replacement requests. Also, the policy considers the access bit of cache blocks along with the cache line modifications in order not to degrade the cache hit ratio. Simulation experiments using SPEC benchmarks show that the proposed policy reduces the power consumption of PCM memory by 22.7% on average without degrading performances.

  • Ultra Rapid Hardening Cement (LJRHC) makes immediate response, cracks and finally collapses in the 5 % acid solution. Such physical and chemical reaction is assumed to occur beCaUSE) it contains calcium aluminate( 11 Cao . 7AI,O, . CaF,) and the hydrate. This experimental study aims to improve URHC by making up for its weakness, which appears when its pro¬perties are compared with other cements properties, in the Polymer Cement Mortar(PCM) The result are : PCM using URHC proved to be inferior to PCM using other cements in the resistance to the acid in that the former cracked and collapsed after 10 days, and 22 days, in P/C=O%, and 5% respectively. And in P/C=15% and 20 % the PCM using URHC proved to be more resistant to the acid.

  • Progressive Collapse Method (PCM) has been broadly applied to predict moment-carrying capacity of a hull girder, however accuracy of PCM has not been much studied. Accuracy of PCM is known to be dependent on how Load-Shortening and -Elongation (LSE) curve of a structural units are well predicted. This paper presents a new procedure to determine LSE datum based on box girder Finite Element Analyses (FEAs) instead of using finite element model of stiffened panels. To verify reliability of FEA results, the simple box girder collapse test results are compared with FEA results of same box girders. It reveals one frame-based box girder model is sufficiently accurate in terms of ultimate strengths of the box girders. After extracting LSE data from the box girders, PCM-based moment-carrying capacities are compared with those from FEAs of the box girders. PCM results are found to be equivalent to FEAs in terms of moment-carrying capacity if accurate LSE data are secured. The new procedure is applied to well-known 1/3 scaled frigate full section. Very excellent moment-carrying capacity of frigate hull section is obtained from PCM with LSE data from box girder FEAs.

  • Due to the recent advances in non-volatile memory technologies such as PCM, a new memory hierarchy of computer systems is expected to appear. In this paper, we explore the performance of PCM-based swap systems and discuss how this system can be managed efficiently. Specifically, we introduce three management techniques. First, we show that the page fault handling time can be reduced by attaching PCM on DIMM slots, thereby eliminating the software stack overhead of block I/O and the context switch time. Second, we show that it is effective to reduce the page size and turn off the read-ahead option under the PCM swap system where the page fault handling time is sufficiently small. Third, we show that the performance is not degraded even with a small DRAM memory under a PCM swap device; this leads to the reduction of DRAM's energy consumption significantly compared to HDD-based swap systems. We expect that the result of this paper will lead to the transition of the legacy swap system structure of "large memory - slow swap" to a new paradigm of "small memory - fast swap."
