An engineering design of the machines and equipment for processing grain as well as an understanding of processing itself need the knowledge of thermal properties of grain. Thermal properties of grain are thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat. Knowledge of any two and the bulk density of grain enables the third to be calculated. Several workers have investigated these properties, with special emphasis on thermal conductivity and diffusivity. However, some information is available on the specific heat of rough rice and barley but it is available only for a foreign variety of grain and for as a function of moisture content only. The objectives of this study were to develop a model for the specific heat of rough rice and barley which were a staple products in Korea as a function of initial temperature, moisture content and porosity of grain with cooling curve method, and to analyze the effect of these factors on the specific heat of rough rice and barley. The results of this study are summarized as follows; 1. The specific heat was $1.8209-2.7041kJ/kg\;^{\circ}K$ for Naked barley, 1.8862-2.5625 k.l/kg K for Covered barley, $1.5167-2.3779kJ/kg\;^{\circ}K$ for Japonica rice and $1.5260-2.3981kJ/kg\;^{\circ}K$ for Indica rice. 2. The model for the specific heat of rough rice and barley as a function of initial temperature, moisture content and porosity of grain was developed. 3. Specific heat of rough rice was decreased with initial temperature, but specific heat of barley was increased with initial temperature. 4. On the whole specific heat of sample grain was increased with moisture content of grain. 5. Specific heat of the grain was found to decrease with porosity except Indica rice.

The purpose of this paper is to propose the experimental method of thermal properties of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) by using T-history method. As far, in order to measure the heat of fusion and specific heat of PCMs, conventional thermal analysis methods such as DSC and DTA have been used. Because these methods test very small samples, thermal properties of samples are usually different from those of materials consisting of several components. For these reasons, T-history method, the simple measurement method of the heat of fusion and specific heat of PCMs have been performed. In this paper, we investigated the thermal properties of low temperature PCMs(below $0^{\circ}C$) under the charging process by using T-history method. The results are compared to those of DSC method. The T-history method will be useful for selection of the best PCM from lots of candidates and development of new PCMs.

An analytical study on performance of superdetonative mode ram accelerator was conducted for understanding the S225 experimental result of ISL. It would be noticeable that ISL S225 experimental result could be analytically simulated with the assumptions of inlet shockwave, equilibrium combustion chemistry, temperature dependent specific heat, and C-J oblique detonation in superdetonative operation mode. As result, the S225 experiment could be affected by heat of aluminum. Also, this study showed that the improper assumption, like isentropic assumption on shockwave, or constant specific heat on combustion, might cause misunderstanding about experimental result.

This study was conducted for the heat transfer reduction due to the clinker formed in the furnace of the thermal power plant. The thermal properties of clinker such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, density and void fraction were measured. The thermal conductivities of the clinker were ranged $0.32-0.54W/m{\cdot}K$ and the average specific heat and the void fraction were $930J/kg{\cdot}K$ and 0.36 respectively. The thermal resistance of clinker was the greatest among the thermal resistances. It was found that the clinker reduces more than 90% of the heat transfer if the clinker is thicker than 10 cm.

Bacterial heat shock protein has been one of the components that are responsible to induce autoimmune disease mechanisms in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis due to high level of homology in sequence with human counterpart. This mechanism may explain how bacterial infectious disease, such as periodontal disease, might contribute to the acceleration of the disease process of atherosclerosis. Porphyromonas gingivalis which is a major periodontal pathogenic bacterial species, has been implicated as one of the pathogenic bacteria playing the role in this context. The present study has been performed to evaluate the anti-atherosclerotic effect of adoptive transfer of Porphyromonas gingivalis heat shock protein epitope-specific T cell lines into severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. Peptide no. 15 with amino acid sequence VKEVASKTND-specific T cell line was selected for the transfer. When experimental atherosclerosis was induced in SCID mice adoptively transferred either by the T cell lines (experimental group) or by non-specific mouse T cells (control group), there was no significant difference in the severity and extent of the atherosclerosis induced by hypercholesterol diet.

In this study, the effects of the maximum undeformed chip thickness on grinding characteristics of hardened steel in down-grinding have been investigated. The meaured grinding forces become larger as the workpiece velocity increases. The specific energy, e decreases as the maximum undeformed chip thickness increase. When the maximum undeformed chip thickness is the same, the specific energy, e decreases as the grain size increases.

Cracking in connote structures is one of the main issues of structural design next to ensuring the load-bearing capacity. Thermal analysis is used to prevent thermal mucking, but concrete properties are uncertain variable, and analysis results have uncertainty, too. In this study, sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the effect of conductivity, specific heal and pouring temperature. The results show that lower conductivity and higher specific heat increase the maximum temperature and maximum tensile stress. The structure with internal restraint is mostly influenced by the change of conductivity and specific heat.

Accurate heat release analysis of cylinder pressure data is important for evaluating performance in the development of diesel engine However, traditional single zone first law heat release model(SZM) has significant limitations due to the simplified assumption of uniform charge and neglecting local temperature inside cylinder during combustion process. In this study. heat release rate based on single zone heat release model has been evaluated by comparison with computational analysis results using Fire code which is based on multi-dimensional model(MDM). To overcome limitations due to simplicity of single zone assumption. especially the influence of specific heat ratio on gross heat release has been esteemed and newly suggested were the equation $\gamma$= $\gamma$(${T/T}_{max}$) which describes the variations of gases thermodynamic properties with mean temperature and maximum mean temperature inside cylinder Single zone heat release model applied with this equation is shown to give very good results over whole range of operating conditions when compared with computational analysis results based on multi-dimensional model.

Several paraffins(CnH2n +2) can be used as the thermal energy storage medium because of their large amount of latent heat and their flexibility of phase change temperature. But they have not been used in the thermal energy storage system because their long term stability have not been verified. Paraffins(CnH2n+2) which the values of n are 23, 24, 26 and 28 were selected for this experimental research. And this research was peformed to apply them to the practical systems. The results were summarized as follows. (1) The increase of phase change cycles had no effect on their phase change temperatures. (2) According as the values of n increased from 23 to 28, the specific heats of paraffins(CnH2n+2) increased, and were in the range of 0.47 0.75 ㎉/$kg^circ C$. (3) Thermal conductivities of them were in the range of 0.14 0.17 W/$m^circ C$. and specific gravities of them were in the range of 765800 kg/m3. (4) The density of paraffins was in the range of 765 800 kg/$m^circ C$ , and the density of solid phase was larger than that of liquid phase. (5) When the number of phase change cycles was 1, 500 cycles, the latent heat of paraffins was 90% of the initial value.
