Thermistor is the semiconducting material whose electrical resistance is varied with its self heating. In this paper, the improvement of resistance-temperature characteristics of NTC thermistor devices based on NiO was experimented. The specimens were prepared by mixing NiO and Mn$_2$O$_3$(1:1 mole %) and by addition of CuO(1 wt %, 2 wt %, 4 wt %). The specimens were compacted at the pressure of 1000 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and sintered for 1 hour in air ambient at 120$0^{\circ}C$. Reducing CuO additions not only resistance-temperature characteristics, but also increased room temperature resistance.

NTC thermistor was prepared by adding TiO$_2$and MnO$_2$on Fe$_2$O$_3$and the effects of additions were investigated. And the effects of compating pressure, sintering temperature, and sintering time were also experimented. Fe$_2$O$_3$is insulator in stoichiometric state and will be semiconductor by introducing Ti$^{+4}$, Sn$^{+4}$. These semiconducting material will show large negative temperature coeffecients and can be used as NTC thermistor.tor.

Sintered thermistor body was fabricated by solid reaction method using $Fe_2O_3, \;Al_2O_3, \;TiO_2$ and Si powder. Surface matrix of sintered body was investigated by SEM and $\beta$-constant was obtained from measurement of resistance variation in liquid bath. The values of thermistor constant $\beta$ of samples in the temperature range $-50~+50^{\circ}C$ were distributed from 927 to 4005k. This thermistor body can be used as temperature sensor for radiosonde.

(M $n_{l-x}$M $g_{l-x}$)F $e_{2+x}$ $O_4$(x=0.0, 0.025, 0.1, 0.2) for NTC(negative temperature coefficient) thermistor was prepared by calcining at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and sintering at from 1100 to 130$0^{\circ}C$ with 5$0^{\circ}C$ intervals while x was varied from 0.0 to 0.025, 0.1 and 0.2. The best linear property was obtained in the based specimen sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ with x=0.1 composition. Thermistor parameter, $B_{25~85^{\circ}C}$, was in the range of 5000~ 7300 [K]. Temperature coefficient of resistance, $\alpha$$_{25^{\circ}C}$, was -5.2 %/$^{\circ}C$. The results showed the possibility that Mn-Ni-Co based thermistor could be substituted by the composition used in this study was confirmed.med.d.

The correlationship between heat treatment condition and electrical properties of the Mn-Co-Ni oxide NTC thermistor for fuel level sensor was investigated by the X-ray diffractometry, density measurement, and electrical properties measurement such as resistivity, B constant, and thermal dissipation constant. It was shown that the heat treatment of NTC thermistor was responsible for sinterability of Mn-Co-Ni oxide. The highest density of 5.10 g/㎤ was obtained at $1250^{\circ}C$, 2 hours, at which the densification was almost completed. This is also manifested from the microstructural observation. It is found that the electrical resistivity and B constant are increased at the elevated sintering temperatures. The NTC specimens prepared in this study showed the conventional decrease of resistance with the measured temperature and the linear behavior of output voltage with fuel levels. Therefore, the electrical properties of thermistor were closely correlated with sintering condition. and the Mn-Co-Ni oxide thermistor prepared in this study has a great possibility enough to apply for an automobile fuel level sensor.

This paper is studied on a protective control system for electrical fire and electrical faults by using electrical and thermal characteristics of PTC thermistor. The PTC thermistor has characteristic or positive resistivity temperature coefficient according to the temperature variation, which is construction of a regular square and cube demarcation with $BaTiO_3$ Ceramics of positive temperature coefficient. Also PTC thermistor shows the phenomenon which is rapidly increased in the resistivity if the temperature is increased over Curie temperature point. This paper is proposed on a protective control system used PTC thermistor which is protected from electrical fire due to electric short circuit faults or overload faults. Some experimental results of the proposed electric safety control apparatus are confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

A thick film NTC thermistor for low temperature co-firing was manufactured by printing and sintering a paste prepared using NTC powder of Mn_1.5Ni_0.4Co_0.9Cu_0.4O₄ composition, lead free frit, and RuO₂ on a 96 % alumina substrate. The effect of frit and RuO₂ on the electrical properties of thick film NTC thermistor was studied. The resistance of the thick film NTC thermistor was higher than that of the bulk phase sintered at the same temperature, but it was found that the negative resistance temperature characteristic appeared more clearly and linearly in the resistance - temperature characteristic. On the other hand, the area resistance decreased as the sintering temperature increased, and the area resistance increased as the amount of frit added increased. The B constant of the thick film NTC thermistor was 3000 K or higher. Among them, it was found that the B constant of the thick film NTC thermistor made of paste with 5 wt% of frit added and sintered at 900℃ showed the highest B constant. Also, it can be seen that the area resistance decreased with the addition of RuO₂, and the change in the area resistance decrease of the thick film NTC thermistor obtained by sintering the paste containing 5 wt% of RuO₂ at 900℃ is the most obvious.

Fine wires made from platinum have been used as sensors to evaluate the convection performance of nanofluids. However, the wire sensor is difficult to handle due to its fragility. Additionally, an unrealistic convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is obtained if a rigorous calibration process combined with precision equipment is not used for measurement. This paper proposes a new evaluation apparatus for h of nanofluids that uses a thermistor sensor instead of the platinum wire. The working principles are also explained in detail. Validation experiments for pure engine oil comparing h from the two sensors confirmed numerous practical benefits of the thermistor. The proposed system can be used as a useful tool to justify the adoption of developed nanofluids.
