Vacuum chamber or vacuum tube for the exhaust process of vacuum glazing is presently used, where excessive time and expenses are required to make the whole vacuum chamber or tube vacuum. To solve this problem, multifunction equipment for vacuum exhaust and ultrasonic joining at atmospheric pressure has been developed, in which a piezoelectric vibrator experiences excessive temperature rise resulting in optimizing the cooling of the equipment. Therefore, in this study, cooling effects of natural convection and forced convection methods were identified by numerical analysis and experiments, and cooling performance of the multifunction equipment was optimized.

In this paper, we analyze the current submarine cooling system and study control algorithms for cooling system. Cooling system are installed in the submarine propulsion motor to protect the motor from high-temperature by iron loss and copper loss. The cooling system control the sea water and fresh water pump RPM to keep the motor temperature stable by external environment and motor RPM holding time. The cooling system simulation program is made for checking the cooling performance, and simulation is performed with various control strategy. The results with proposed cooling algorithm is shown to improve the thermal stability and efficiency of cooling system.

Performance of a liquid rocket thrust chamber with regenerative cooling scheme has been numerically analyzed using in-house CFD code which can predict combustion/cooling performance and provide nozzle design parameters. This paper investigates trade-offs between combustion and cooling performance with varying amount of fuel directly injected into the chamber wall to form cooling films and mixture ratios for the peripheral injectors. Further efforts to verify/improve the simulation methodology including comparison with the firing test results are planned to make it a reliable tool to optimize the film cooling and other major design parameters.

Lithium-ion batteries are commonly employed in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and achieving high energy density in the battery has been one of the most critical issues in the automotive industry. Because liquid cooling containing antifreeze is important in automotive batteries to enable cold starts, an effective geometric configuration for high-cooling performance should be carefully investigated. Battery cooling with antifreeze has also been considered to realize successful cold starts. In this article, we theoretically investigate a specific property of an antifreeze cooling battery system, and we perform numerical modeling to satisfy the required thermal specifications. Because a typical battery system in HEVs consists of multiple stacked battery cells, the cooling performance is determined mainly by the special properties of antifreeze in the coolant passage, which dissipates heat generated from the battery cells. We propose that the required cooling performance can be realized by performing numerical simulations of different geometric configurations for battery cooling. Furthermore, we perform a theoretical analysis as a design guideline to optimize the cooling performance with minimum power consumption by the cooling pump.

A magnetocardiogram (MCG) is a recording of the biomagnetic signals generated by cardiac electrical activity. Biomagnetic instruments are based on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). A liquid cryogenic Dewar flask was used to maintain the superconductors in a superconducting state at a very low temperature (4 K). In this study, the temperature distribution characteristics of the liquid helium in the Dewar flask was investigated. The Dewar flask used in this study has a 30 L liquid helium capacity with a hold time of 5 d. The Dewar flask has two thermal shields rated at 150 and 40 K. The temperatures measured at the end of the thermal shield and calculated from the computer model were compared. This study attempted to minimize the heat transfer rate of the cryogenic Dewar flask using an optimization method about the geometric variable to find the characteristics for the design geometric variables in terms of the stress distribution of the Dewar flask. For thermal and optimization analysis of the structure, the finite element method code ANSYS 10 was used. The computer model used for the cryogenic Dewar flask was useful to predict the temperature distribution for the area less affected by the thermal radiation.

최근 시설원예에서 많이 도입되고 있는 양액재배의 경우 여름철 고온으로 인해 양액온도가 상승하고 그로 인해 양액중 용존산소량이 저하되어 작물생육에 저해를 가져오며 동시에 병원균에 대한 저항정도가 저하하므로 양액냉각법에 의한 생육 촉진효과가 크고 과채류나 엽채류모두 $25^{\circ}C$를 고액온 한계온도로 하여 냉각을 하는 것이 좋은 것으로 보고되었다(교, 1986. 고전, 1987). 또한, 3$0^{\circ}C$의 양액을 24$^{\circ}C$로 냉각해 준 경우 최대 $1.5^{\circ}C$의 작물체온 강하효과가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다.(남 등, 1992) (중략)

This paper presents some measures far the optimization of the thermal behavior of linear motors, which are used as a high speed feed mechanism in machine tools. Thermo-Sandwich-Construction using two cooling circuits and an insulation layer shows an effective cooling system for linear motors. Conducting sheet can be also used to reduce heat flow from linear motor to machine table. Cooling pipe is a simple and effective cooling system for the secondary part of synchronous linear motor. Through the combination of the Thermo-Sandwich-Construction, conducting sheet and cooling pipe the thermally optimized linear motor shows a well improved thermal behavior in comparison with the prototype motor.

In this paper, cooling system of power transformers is proposed for temperature optimized control. We predict the peak temperature of power transformer coils using load factors and construct a cooling system using weighting function. For the optimized temperature control for power transformer, a correlation function based on the load factor of a load current and the each temperatures for winding coils, for air and for oil is presented to predict the winding-coil peak temperature. Also, the results controlled by applying the power transformer is presented.
