본 연구에서는 총괄 열 흡수율법과 분할법이 지니고 있는 전열 해석상의 한계 를 보완하고 슬래브 가열로의 전열해석에 실질적으로 적용하기 위하여, 분할법으로 내 내 분위기 온도를 계산하고 이로부터 슬래브의 노내 온도이력을 예측하는 계산모델을 제시하였다. 계산모델의 유용성 확인을 위하여는, Fig.1에 보인 바와 같은 최대 슬 래브 처리량이 235ton/hr인 후판 가열로를 대상으로 하여, 노내 분위기 가스 온도 및 슬래브의 온도이력을 측정하고 이를 계산 결과와 비교하였다. 이와 아울러 연료유량, 슬래브 재로시간(residence time) 및 장입 온도등의 조업조건 변화가 분위기 가스온도 와 슬래브의 온도이력에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 가열로의 효율적 조업을 위한 자료를 제시하였다.

This paper deals with the basic principles and procedures involved in the steam-chest molding process used for manufacturing expanded polypropylene (EPP) bead foam. Steam-chest molding is an integral process for EPP technology. However, little research has been carried out on the processing conditions for steam-chest molding this process. The characteristics of EPP foam are energy absorption, multiple-impact protection, low weight, structural strength, and durability. In this study, the steam pressure in steam-chest molding was varied to determine the optimum conditions for manufacturing EPP foam. Moreover, annealing was performed after EPP-foam molding to prevent the shrinkage of the steam-molded product. It was possible to verify the mechanism of foam shrinkage by observing the change in weight with time at different annealing temperatures. Moreover, a tensile test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were performed to support these experimental results. The dimensional stability of each molded product was investigated at different steam pressures.

This study was performed to evaluate a newly proposed heating process of blank, which was used for Crank throw in the diesel engine, and provide design guidelines of heating processes. Non-linear numerical analyses were done using ANSYS program to investigate temperature and thermal stress distributions of blank during heating processes. The heating process consists of two stages; one is a heating stage with 20 hours, and the other is a holding stage with 12 hours, totaling 32-hour heating time. Based on analysis results, it was found that the temperature difference between the center and the surface of blank increased linearly during the heating stage but decreased gradually during the holding stage of heating processes, while max. equivalent stress, $12.5kg/mm^2$, was found at the center of blank after 10-hour heating time. As the guideline of blank heating process, it was recommended to keep the temperature difference between the center and the surface of blank to be within $150^{\circ}C$ when the environment temperature in furnace reaches $650^{\circ}C$ during a heating stage.

Numerical study was conducted for the effects of various burner array on the workpiece and the gas temperature in a continuos reheating furnace. Under the same conditions which were the total heat of combustion, the heat capacity of unit burner, the number of burner and burner array were changed to be applied the furnace. The behavior of workpiece temperature and gas temperature in a furnace were evaluated for the effects as function of the changed conditions. A continuous reheating furnace designed for 110 tons/day of production capacity was applied in this study. The furnace which has several gas burners is designed to heat a workpiece. By this study, the better condition was confirmed than the existing designed condition.
