The mathematical model for tension behaviors of a moving web by Shin (2000) is extended to the tension model considering the thermal strain due to temperature variation in furnace. The extended model includes the terms that take into account the effect of the change of the Young's Modulus, the thermal coefficient, and the thermal strain on the variation of strip tension. Computer simulation study proved that the extended tension model could be used to analyze tension behaviors even when the strip goes through temperature variation. By using the extended tension model, a new tension control method is suggested in this paper. The key factors of suggested tension control method include that the thermal strain of strip could be compensated by using the velocity adjustment of the helper-rollers. The computer simulation was carried out to confirm the performance of the suggested tension control method. Simulation results show that the suggested tension control logic not only overcomes the problem of the traditional tension control logic, but also improves the performance of tension control in a furnace of the CAL (Continuous Annealing Line).

In recent years, the quality of the outdoor thermal environment has come to be regarded as important as that of the indoor thermal environment. Since the outdoor thermal environment is composed of many elements and is affected by many factors, it is not easy to evaluate the impact of each factor separately. Hence, a comprehensive assessment method is required. In order to evaluate the pedestrian level comfort of an outdoor climate, it is necessary to investigate not only wind velocity but also various physical elements, such as temperature, moisture, radiation, etc. Prediction of wind and thermal environment for a large scale buildings is one of the most important targets for research. Wind and thermal change in a city area is a very complicated phenomenon affected by many physical processes. The purpose of this study is to develop a design plan for wind environment at a large Buildings. In this study, we analyze outdoor wind environment and thermal environment on buildings using the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. The arrangement of building models is an apartment in Jeonju. These prediction of wind and thermal environment for a large scale buildings is necessary in a plan before a building is built.

When lithium-ion batteries operate out of the proper temperature range, their performance can be significantly degraded and safety issues such as thermal runaway can occur. Therefore, battery thermal management systems are widely researched to maintain the temperature of Li-ion battery cells within the proper temperature range during the charging and discharging process. This study investigates the cooling performance and isothermal maintenance of cooling materials by measuring the surface temperature of a battery cell with or without cooling materials, such as silicone oil, thermal adhesive, and phase change materials during discharge process of battery by the experimental and numerical analysis. As a result of the experiment, the battery pack filled with phase change material showed a temperature reduction of 47.4 ℃ compared to the case of natural convection. It proves the advanced utility of the cooling unit using phase change material that is suitable for use in battery thermal management systems.

The objective of this research is to investigate the thermal behavior of microencapsulated phase-change materials(MEPCM), and a shell of melamine-formaldehyde. These PCM materials were tested using DSC and thermal data station. Fabrics with enhanced thermal properties were prepared by padding the fabrics with the microcapsules containing PCM and acryl binder. The rate of temperature increase was significantly decreased as the amount of MEPCM added on the surface of the fabrics increased.

Using air conditioner has been increased in home or office buildings in summer. Also various problems related to air conditioning such as disease induction happened by using air conditioner excessively and operating long. Active operation control is needed for occupant's health when air conditioner operates long. We should think ahead to acquire thermal comfort of occupants which represents psychological and physiological reaction for this operation. Research has been progressed to observe activity of autonomic nervous system by trying to quantitate change of thermal comfort. In this study, questions of the subject and change of body's autonomic nervous system were chosen to evaluate thermal comfort during operation of air conditioner for a long time. Electrocardiogram and questions of the subject which is the progress of changing TSV and CSV by occupants indoor were measured when room air conditioner is operated for a long time, and an air-conditioned adaptability of human body was evaluated by acquiring the change rate of autonomic nervous system through analyzing HRV. As a result of the evaluation, change rate of body's autonomic nervous system corresponded to votes of the subject's question generally, but was distinguished from analysis result of warm-cold sensation in a low temperature area.

A sequence of visually experimental observations was conducted to investigate the flow boiling and two-phase flow in a coiled tube. Different boiling modes and bubble dynamical evolutions were identified for better recognizing the phenomena and understanding the two-phase flow evolution and heat transfer mechanisms. The dissolved gases and remained vapor would serve as foreign nucleation sites, and together with the effect of buoyancy, centrifugal force and liquid flow, these also induce very different flow boiling nucleation, boiling modes, bubble dynamical behavior, and further the boiling heat transfer performance. Bubbly flow, plug flow, slug flow, stratified/wavy flow and annular flow were observed during the boiling process in the coiled tube. Particularly the effects of flow reconstructing and thermal non-equilibrium release in the bends were noted and discussed with the physical understanding. Coupled with the effects of the buoyancy, centrifugal force and inertia or momentum ratio of the two fluids, the flow reconstructing and thermal non-equilibrium release effects have critical importance for flow pattern in the bends and flow evolution in next straight sections.

고상-액상 상변화물질(PCM, Phase Change Material)을 이용한 위성부품 열제어장치를 설계 및 제작하였으며 열환경시험을 수행함으로써 온도제어 성능을 분석하였다. 설계온도에 부합하는 n-Hexadecane을 PCM으로 채용하였고, 낮은 열전도도를 보완하기 위하여 내부에 전열휜이 장착된 용기를 Al6061로 제작하였다. 위성에 장착하였을 때와 동일한 작동조건을 확보하기 위하여, 부품과 방열판 사이를 열관으로 연결하였으며 열관의 단열부가 관통하도록 PCM 열제어장치를 설치하였다. 동일한 모양과 부피의 열적완충질량(TBM, Thermal Buffer Mass)도 제작하여, 주기적인 가열-냉각 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 상변화 잠열에 의한 PCM의 열제어 성능을 확인할 수 있었으며, TBM에 비하여 질량과 보온히터의 소모전력을 절감할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we analyzed the heat transfer phenomenon and the reset current variation of PRAM device with thickness of phase change material using the 3-D finite element analysis tool. From the simulation, Joule's heat was generated at the contact surface of phase change material and bottom electrode of PRAM. As the thickness of phase change material was decreased, the reset current was highly increased. In case thickness of phase change material thin film was $200\;{\AA}$, heat increased through top electrode and reset current caused by phase transition highly increased. And as thermal conductivity of top electrode decreased, temperature of unit memory cell was increased.

The present study describes a hands-on experiment to help students understand the concept of phase change or phase transition and its application in a phase change material (PCM). PCMs are substances that have the capability of storing and releasing large amounts of thermal energy. They act as energy storage materials that provide an effective way to save energy by reducing the electricity required for heating and cooling. Lauric acid (LA) was selected as an example of the PCM. Students investigated the temperature change of LA and the temperature (of air) inside the test tube. The differences in the temperatures of the systems helped students understand how PCMs work. A one-group pretest and posttest design was implemented with 34 grade-11 students in science and mathematics. Students' understanding was assessed using a multiple-choice test and a questionnaire. The findings revealed that the designed activity helped students understand the concept of phase change and its application to materials for thermal energy storage.

본 연구는 경사면에서 탁질혼입에 의한 탁수괴 거동을 밀도차가 적은 염수를 이용하여 실험과 이론을 통하여 알아보았다. 염수괴의 형상특성, 길이 변화, 높이 변화, 이동속도 변화를 알아보았다. 그리고 염수괴의 거동을 Baines and Hofinger(1984)의 난류 Thermal 이론과 비교하여 보았다. 그 결과 실험치와 이론치는 거의 일치하고 있었다. 따라서 밀도차에 의한 탁수괴의 거동특성은 난류 Thermal 이론으로 재현할 수 있다는 것을 알았다.
