Thermo-mechanical behaviors of polymer matrix composite(PMC) with continuous TiNi fiber are studied using theoretical analysis with 1-D analytical model and numerical analysis with 2-D multi-fiber finite element(FE) model. It is found that both compressive stress in matrix and tensile stress in TiNi fiber are the source of strengthening mechanisms and thermo-mechanical coupling. Thermal expansion of continuous TiNi fiber reinforced PMC has been compared with various mechanical behaviors as a function of fiber volume fraction, degree of pre-strain and modulus ratio between TiNi fiber and polymer matrix. Based on the concept of so-called shape memory composite(SMC) with a permanent shape memory effect, the critical modulus ratio is determined to obtain a smart composite with no or minimum thermal deformation. The critical modulus ratio should be a major factor for design and manufacturing of SMC.

Thermal neutron activation analysis was applied to determine the trace amount of Vanadium and Manganese in Buyo and Kumsan Ginseng. These elements have been regarded to have great nutritional value and one of the indispensable factor in the growth of ginseng. The TRIGA MARK II Reactor in Atomic Energy Research Institute was used for the neutron source. The samples were irradiated for 10 minutes for Vanadium and for 5 minutes for Manganese at the neutron flux of about $1.28{\times}10^{12}n/cm^2/sec$ and the RCL 256 Channel Pulse-Height Analyzer connected with $2"{\times}2"$ Nal(Tl) was used for activity determination. The amounts were about 0.02 ppm for Vanadium and 20 ppm for Manganese, and it was also found that the amounts of the elements were slightly different depending on the kinds of ginsengs.

An angle error is a factor obstructing to track accurate position in tracking radars. And the noise incurring the angle error can be divided as follows; thermal noise and glint. In general, Extended Kalman filter used in tracking radars is designed with considering thermal noise only. The Extended Klaman filter uses a fixed measurement error covariance when updating an estimate state by using ahead state and measurement. But, a noise power varies according to the range. Therefore we purposes the adaptive Kalman filter which changes the measurement noise covariance according to the range. In this paper, we compare the performance of the Extended Kalman filter and the proposed adaptive Kalman filter by considering KSLV-I (Korean Satellite Launch Vehicles).

The objective of present study is to analyze a concentric triple-passage heat exchanger for an optimal design of a continuous hot steel-tube cooling system, where a hot-steel tube line is passing through an antioxidant gas with a constant speed. Velocities and temperatures of the inert gas flowing between inner and outer tubes are calculated theoretically for laminar and numerically for turbulent flow regimes. From their profiles Nusselt numbers and friction factors are calculated (or various ratios of inner/outer tube radii and relative velocities. With these Nusselt numbers triple-passage heat exchangers are investigated for their thermal characteristics. It is shown that heat transfer coefficients based on ratios of average heat fluxes from inner and outer tubes might result in great errors for the temperature distributions of the flows, since local heat transfer coefficients for flows through an annulus are dependent on local wall heat flux ratios.

A Novel way to support typical Thermal Shut Down(TSD) circuit is proposed. In power ICs, on-time or on-duration is the key factor to anticipate an abrupt increase of internal temperature. Such an abrupt raise of the temperature can cause TSD circuit cannot protect on proper time due to the temperature detection delay come from the physical distance or the imperfect coupling between heat sources and detector. The proposed circuit checks the duty ratio touched their maximum or not in every cycle. Once duty ratio touches the maximum duty, new circuit generates the warning signal to the TSD circuit and lowers pre-determined temperature for shut down to compensate the detection delay. The novel circuit will be analyzed to the transistor level and checked the validity by simulation.

Chalcogenide phase change memory has high performance to be next generation memory, because it is a nonvolatile memory processing high programming speed, low programming voltage, high sensing margin, low consumption and long cycle duration. We have developed a sample of PRAM with thermal protected layer. We have investigated the phase transition behaviors in function of process factor including thermal protect layer. As a result, we have observed that set voltage and duration of protect layer are more improved than no protect layer.

In this study, two kinds of life prediction method for hot forming die are developed . One is empirical method requiring some experiment that evaluate thermal softening of die material accoring to operating conditions. The other is analyticl method that calcuate wear quantity of die occuring during the forming process. Wear is a predominant factor as well as plastic deformation and heat checking . And, these methods are applied to prodict tool life real die producting part for automobile. Thus , the applicability and the accuracy of the presented methods are investigated. Using the verified life prediction method above , optimal blocker die design minimizing the finisher die is done.

Thermal energy control is a important factor to control properties of large sized product in ingot-forging. Good control of thermal energy helps to increase characteristics and eliminate defects of large cast-forged part, such as large sized forged shell. We have studied about not only large size ring forging process and after heat treatment process by FEM simulation. Changes of temperature and microstructure for forged shell were predicted according to different heat treatment conditions. Therefore, we can choose the proper heat treatment condition by FEA. The sectional properties confirmed by practical experiment and evaluation have presented possibilities of process design by computational analysis.

The cryostat or dewar have been widely used for making and maintaining cryogenic and vacuum environments. The thermal performances of such cryogenic vacuum system mainly depend on the radiation heat transfer between hot and cold surface The characteristics of radiation heat transfer are complicated, because amounts of heat transfer depend on view factor, emissivities, and areas of thermal elements. In this study, the analysis of the radiation heat transfer in the small cryogenic vacuum system was performed using the surface to surface radiation model for evaluation of the required cooling capacity of the cryocooler.

When asymmetric thermal-hydraulic conditions occur between cold legs, the core inlet temperature will be nonuniform if the coolant is not mixed perfectly in the lower plenum. These uneven core inlet conditions may induce the change in core power distribution. Thus realistic prediction of thermal mixing is important in such abnormal conditions. In this study, reactor internals, which are scaled down as to conserve the flow area ratio, are set up in the model of KORI Unit 1 with the scaling factor of 1/710 by volume and coolant temperatures are measured beneath the lower core plate. Based on experimental results, the ability of COMMIX-1B code to simulate the coolant mixing phenomena in the lower plenum is estimated. The results show that complete mixing never occurs in any conditions and the mixing pattern is characterized according to the plant type.
