This paper presents the coupled analysis method to calculate the temperature rise in a gas insulated busbar (GIB). Harmonic eddy current analysis is carried out and the power losses are calculated in the conductor and enclosure tank. Two methods are presented to analyze the temperature distribution in the conductor and tank. One is to solve the thermal conduction problem with the equivalent natural convection coefficient and is applied to a single phase GIB. The other is to employ the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool which directly solves the thermal-fluid equations and is applied to a three-phase GIB. The accuracy of both methods is verified by the comparison of the measured and calculated temperature in a single phase and three-phase GIB.

This study has been carried out to investigate the effect of vacuum on the thermal performance of a nonglass evacuated tube. A series of measurements are made indoors to monitor the temperature change of the absorber plate contained in the evacuated tube under different conditions of vacuum and heat fluxes. Those temperatures measured at the thermal equilibrium could be used to assess the heat losses to the ambient in link with the steady operation of non-glass evacuated tubes for solar exploitation.

Reliable maintenance scheduling of main equipments is a crucial problem in thermal power stations in order to skirt overall losses of power generation resulted from severe failures of the equipments. A reasonable method was proposed to determine the maintenance scheduling of whole pump system in thermal power stations in order to reduce the maintenance cost by keeping the present avail-ability of the pump system throughout the operation. The dimensional reduction method was used to solve problems encountered due to few data which involved many operational factors in failure rate of pumps. The problem of bandlimited nature of data with time was solved by extrapolating future failures from presently available actual data with an aid of Weibull distribution. The results of the analysis identified the most suitable maintenance intervals of each pump type accordingly and hence reduce the cost of unnecessary maintenance with an acceptable range in the overall system availability.

레이저 봉의 열렌즈 효과를 고려하여 열복굴절에 의해 발생된 레이저 빔의 편광 왜곡을 계산할 수 있는 모델이 제안되었고 수치 계산이 수행되었다. 계산에 사용된 모델은 근축광선 이론을 바탕으로 광학적 경로를 고려하고 있다. 계산 결과를 존스 행렬을 사용한 것과 비교하였고, 수치 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 최근 수행된 실험에 적용하여 계산 결과가 실험결과와 일치하는 경향을 보임을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new magneto-thermal finite element analysis for predicting the temperature rise of the EHV GIS bus bar. The power losses of a bus bar calculated by the magnetic field analysis are used as the input data to predict the temperature rise for the thermal analysis. The heat-transfer coefficients on the boundaries are analytically calculated by applying the Nusselt number considering material constant and model geometry for the natural convection. The temperature distribution in a bus bar by coupled magneto-thermal finite element analysis shows good agreement with the experimental data.

Milk pasteurization is used to destroy harmful bacteria present in the raw milk for improvement of the keeping quality of dairy products. It is generally carried out in dairy industries as the heating process of raw milk in properly designed and operated equipment to a specific temperature for a specified a specified period. However, thermal processing may cause quality changes in milk as well as significant nutritional losses. Hence, many researchers have started work to design alternative strategies to produce safer foods with minimal thermal treatments for pasteurization. Therefore, the present paper shows the current status of commercial pasteurization system of dairy products in korean industry and the research efforts carried out by researchers on novel milk pasteurization system that could be an alternative to traditional thermal processes for maintaining the freshness of dairy products.

The objective of this development project is to localize an automatic molten metal supplier that has been distributed by WESTOMAT, Germany, throughout the world. To achieve this purpose, an energy-saving pressurized dosing furnace and molten metal differential pressure control system that Is able to automatically supply a determined quantity of aluminum molten metal were developed. The localized equipment was installed in a site. Also, the results of the test operation of this equipment can be summarized as follows: It was able to improve the productivity because there were small decreases in supplying speeds and small losses in wastes compared to the existing mechanical molten metal supplier. Also, it was able to minimize the cost in maintenances due to the direct application of high temperature molten metals to molds. In addition, there were small energy losses due to the use of high thermal insulators compared to the existing reverberating furnace and able to prolong the life-time of furnaces and produce good quality nonferrous metals because it represented small carbon refractories and alumina in applied molten metals. Furthermore, it demonstrated no particular differences by objectively comparing it with the product by WESTOMAT.

This study was intended to search the thermal properties of rice which are necessary in preventing qualitative and quantitative losses in the drying and milling processes. First, the coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of brown rice was measured, which is required for analyzing the internal stress of rice, and then theoretical thermal and moisture stresses were calculated. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of brown rice was about $2.81{\times}10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of $10^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. 2. When the shape of brown rice was assumed to be a sphere or a cylinder, maximum thermal stress due to temperature change of $20^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$ was in the range of $25-100kg/cm^2$. And maximum moisture stress was in the range of $450-650kg/cm^2$ when the drying temperature was $35^{\circ}C$, initial and final moisture contents of brown rice were 20% and 14% (w.b.), and the moisture diffusion coefficient was assumed to be $6.79{\times}10^{-4}cm^2/hr$. 3. Consequently, it was concluded that crack formation in a rice kernel is mainly caused by moisture stress.

Ocean acidification and warming, identified as environmental concerns likely to be affected by climate change, are crucial determinants of algal growth. The ichthyotoxic raphidophytes Chattonella species are responsible for huge economic losses and environmental impact worldwide. In this study, we investigated the impact of CO2 on the thermal performance curves (TPCs) of Chattonella marina and Chattonella ovata grown under temperatures ranging from 13 to 34℃ under ambient pCO2 (350 μatm) and elevated pCO2 (950 μatm). TPCs were comparable between the species or even between pCO2 levels. With the exception of the critical thermal minimum (CTmin) for C. ovata, CTmin for C. marina and the thermal optimum (Topt) and critical thermal maximum (CTmax) for both species did not change with elevation of pCO2 levels. While CO2 enrichment increased the maximum photosynthetic rates (Pmax) up to 125% at the Totp of 30℃, specific growth rates were not significantly different under elevated pCO2 for the two species. Overall, C. ovata is likely to benefit from climate change, potentially widening its range of thermal tolerance limit in highly acidic waters and contributing to prolonged phenology of future phytoplankton assemblages in coastal waters.

Adjacent housing units suffer inevitable thermal losses if an unheated unit exists in an apartment building. Thermal loss of the units adjoining the unheated apartment can be neglected because the contact area is small and insulators are located in the walls. When insulators are not included in the slab between the upper and lower units, 70% of the heat supplied by an Ondol system may be used in the original unit, but 30% is transferred to the unit on the lower floor. Another 30% can be obtained from the ceiling if the upper floor housing unit is heated. This strong thermal connection is a characteristic of Ondol heating in apartment buildings. When there is an unheated unit, the lower floor unit uses 42.3% more heating energy if there is no insulation and 19.5% if a 35 mm insulator is used as in the current guidelines. Therefore, much thicker insulation should be applied to weaken the thermal connection.
