A temperature gradient focusing (TGF) via Joule heating phenomenon was numerically studied. The governing transport equations are implemented into a quasi-1D numerical model to predict the resulting temperature, velocity, and concentration profiles along a microchannel of varying width under an applied electric field. The model is used to analyze the effects of varying certain geometrical parameters of a microchannel on the focusing performance of the device. We show the effects of varying width of the microchannel having a fixed length, and propose the optimal geometry of the device. This method can be easily implemented into lab-on-a-chip (LOC) applications where focusing is required based on its simple design.

The heat diffusion equation for an annular fin is analyzed by Laplace transformation. The fin has a uniform thickness, with its end insulated, and three different temperature profiles at the base such as step change, harmonic and exponential functions. The exact solutions for the temperature and heat flux of the fins are obtained with the infinite series. The series solutions converge rapidly for large values of dimensionless time, but slowly for small values. Therefore some approximate solutions are presented here to fine the temperature distribution and heat flux for small values of dimensionless time. Furthermore a simple approximate heat flux, .OMEGA.=1.13c.tau.$^{1}$2/ is found in the range of .tau. .leg. o.1/c for the exponential function at the base.

The present study investigates the effects of Cattaneo-Christov thermal effects of stagnation point in Walters-B nanofluid flow through lubrication of power-law fluid by taking the slip at the interfacial condition. The impacts of thermophoresis and Brownian motions are further accounted. The fluid impinging orthogonally on the surface is due to power-law slim coating liquid. The generalized newtonian fluid equation is used that obeys the power law constitutive equation to model our problem. The effect of velocity profiles, temperature for different values of n are investigated. The prandtl on the temperature distribution for partial slip and no slip cases is also observed. It is found that for larger values of prandtl number thermal diffusivity of fluid reduces and it enhance the decrease in temperature and boundary layer thickness.

The heat diffusion equation for an annular fin is analyzed using Laplace transformations. The fin has a uniform thickness with its edge heat loss and two temperature profiles at the base such as a step change in temperature or heat flux. To obtain the exact solutions for temperature distribution, this paper can detect the eigenvalues which satisfy the roots of transcendental equations in above two cases during inverse Laplace transformations. The exact solutions for temperature and heat flux are obtained with the infinite Series by dimensionless factors. The solutions are developed for small and large values of times. These series solutions converge rapidly for large values of time, but slowly for small.

The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) display recently used for the information indicating device has many advantages over the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), and its demand will be increased highly. The linear cell should be designed carefully considering the uniformity of thin film on the substrate. Its design needs to compute the temperature field analytically because the uniformity for the thin film thickness depends on the temperature distribution of the source (organic material). In the present study, the design of the linear cell will be modified or improved on the basis of the temperature profiles obtained for the simplified linear cell. The temperature distributions are numerically calculated through the STAR-CD program, and the grids are generated by means of the ICEM CFD program. As the results of the simplified linear cell, the temperature deviation was shown in the parabolic form among the both ends and the center of the source. In order to reduce the temperature deviation, the configuration of the rectangular ends of the crucible was modified to the circular type. In consequence, the uniform temperature is maintained in the range of about 90 percent length of the source. It is expected that the present methods and results on the temperature analysis can be very useful to manufacture the vapor deposition device.

According to the study and experiments performed on the Improvement of Maintaining Temperature of Aviation Dangerous Goods, a conclusion was drawn that clear technical guidelines should be established from the design and assembly stage of temperature-controlled packaging, taking into account actual transportation environment. In particular, profiles consisting of only two types of summer and winter are difficult to adjust flexibly in transportation process with severe weather and temperature changes such as spring and fall. To this end, there is a need to establish a compromise profile configuration for summer and winter. It was also found that the condition of the refrigerant, temperature control, and the speed of the packaging operation have a significant impact on maintaining constant temperature. Therefore, all packing operations need to be completed within a short period of time in the environment close to the target temperature. The current packing instructions provided by packaging manufacturers do not provide precise instructions on post-conditioning, but the experiments in this study confirmed that post-conditioning is very important for maintaining the target temperature, so it is necessary to provide precise legal packing technical instructions.

The effect of swirl on the flow characteristics in a sudden expansion tube was examined experimentally by using 3D PIV(particle image velocimetry) to capture the velocity profiles. The swirling flow of water through a sudden 1:2 axisymmetric expansion has previously been studied experimentally within a horizontal round tube. A kind of tangential slot is used as a swirl generator for swirling flow and a honey comb is used for without swirl flow. The work with the swirl and without swirl results are compared to each other at the same Reynolds number. Liquid crystal was employed to measure temperature profiles and heating coil used for heat transfer with and without swirl flow. And then the Nusselt number ratoes(Nu/Nudb) are calculated along the test section.

The momentum, heat and mass transport in the melt of several sizes of crucibles are calculated using a three dimensional numerical simulation technique with and without the k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model. When turbulent model is not used, non-axisymmetric profiles of velocity, temperature and oxygen concentration appear in the melt of all sizes of crucibles. Axisymmetric profiles are obtained when the k-$\varepsilon$ model is adopted.

Flame structures and NOx formation characteristics in the flame lets of coflow and counterflow diffusion flame are numerically studied. Calculations were carried out twice with the $C_2-Full$ and $C_2-Thermal$ Mechanism for each flame. Mixture fractions and scalar dissipation rates are used as the parameters to compare the flame let structures and NOx formation characteristics quantitatively. It was found that there is a similarity in flame temperature and stable species profiles except radical profiles between two flamelets. And there are some differences in NOx concentration and production rates. These results imply that the flow effects must be considered in calculations for NOx formation of turbulent flames using Laminar Flamelet Model.

The seasonal variability of sonic layer depth (SLD) in the central Arabian Sea (CAS) (0 to $25^{\circ}N$ and $62-66^{\circ}E$) was studied using the temperature and salinity (T/S) profiles from Argo floats for the years 2002-2006. The atmospheric forcing responsible for the observed changes was explored using the meteorological data from NCEP/NCAR and Quickscat winds. SLD was obtained from sound velocity profiles computed from T/S data. Net heat flux and wind forcing regulated SLD in the CAS. Up-welling and down-welling (Ekman dynamics) associated with the Findlater Jet controlled SLD during the summer monsoon. While in winter monsoon, cooling and convective mixing regulated SLD in the study region. Weak winds, high insolation and positive net heat flux lead to the formation of thin, warm and stratified sonic layer during pre and post summer monsoon periods, respectively.
