From 1990's, a study on the development of exothermic concrete, a concrete which electro-conductive material is mixed, has been proceeded. However, due to the difficulty of exothermic reproducibility of concrete specimen, the study has been unable to continuously carried out. Accordingly, this study was focused on developing an exothermic concrete for the purpose of snow-melting material. Cement paste and mortar specimens mixed with graphite, conductive metal powder and chemical admixture were made. The evaluation of exothermic performance and reproducibility was conducted under $-2^{\circ}C$ of low temperature. In addition, micro-chemical analysis was carried out to investigate a cause of exothermic reproducibility. As a test result, the specimen mixed with graphite and superplasticizer with air entrained showed the best exothermic performance and reproducibility. Through micro-chemical analysis, it is judged that polymer or methacrylic acid (MAA), the contents inside the superplasticizer with air entrained, gave exothermic reproducibility by generating the electrochemical reaction with graphite.

In this study, we analyzed the heat generation state of a flat heating element by using image processing technology in conjunction with carbon fiber. The flat heating element is manufactured by chopping the carbon fiber to a small size and bonding it again using a dispersing agent. The solution of carbon fiber, bound together using the dispersant, is then filtered onto the nonwoven fabric. The last step is to obtain flat carbon fibers in the form of nonwoven fabrics for the purpose of drying the filtered carbon fibers. In the flat heating element, electricity may be applied to the carbon fiber on the surface produced in this manner. In this study, the flat heating element was analyzed by four methods. The analysis of the heat generation characteristics and heating rate of the flat heating element confirmed that the fabricated sheet heating element corresponds to a normal army. The analysis of the insulation coating and flat heating element module, which can be used for actual product manufacturing, involves two dimensional image analysis using image processing technology. The thermal image analysis of the flat heating element is a programming technique that not only analyzes the heat generation state in both two and three dimensions, but also displays the upper and lower 15 to 20% ranges of temperature corresponding to the heat generation in the image. In the final analysis, it is possible to easily find the erroneous part in the manufacturing process by directly showing the state of the fabricated flat heating element on the screen. By combining this image analysis method of the flat heating element with the existing method, we were able to more accurately analyze the heat generation state.

Thermal transient tests were performed on the electric initiator with STS 304 bridgewire(diameter 2.3 mil) and $Zr-KCIO_4$ primary charge. Analysing the test data using fitted Wire Model shows that the thermal characteristic parameter related to primary charge is changed sharply around $300^{\circ}C$. It is determined that this phenomenon is due to endothermic reaction from phase transition of $KCIO_4$, which is a component of the primary charge.

알루미늄 방열판 위에 MPCVD(Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 장치를 이용하여 DC 바이어스 전압을 기판에 인가하면서 $Ar+CH_4$ 가스 분위기에서 증착한 나노결정질 다이아몬드(Nanocrystalline Diamond; NCD) 박막의 방열 특성을 평가하였다. XRD와 Raman spectroscopy를 이용하여 증착된 박막이 NCD인지를 확인하였으며 FE-SEM 및 FIB로 박막의 표면 및 단면의 형상을 관찰하였다. 다이아몬드가 증착된 방열판에 LED를 부착하여 발열시키고 열유동측정기의 하나인 T3-ster를 사용하여 방열 특성을 분석하였다. 기존 알루미늄(Al) 기판(5.55 K/W)보다 다이아몬드 증착(Dia-Al) 기판(3.88 K/W)의 열저항 값이 현저히 작았다, 또한 LED 접합온도는 Dia-Al 기판이 Al 기판보다 약 $3.5^{\circ}C$만큼 낮았다. 적외선 열화상 카메라로 발열 중인 시편의 전면과 후면을 촬영한 결과, LED가 부착된 전면부에서는 최고 발열 부위(hot spot)의 면적이 Al 기판의 경우가 Dia-Al 기판보다 높았고, 후면부에서는 그 반대의 경향을 보였다. 이들 데이터로부터 다이아몬드 증착 방열판이 기존의 방열판보다 방열특성이 우수한 것으로 해석할 수 있으며, 다이아몬드 박막을 방열판으로 사용하면 LED의 사용 수명과 효율이 높아질 것으로 기대된다.

We had investigated combustion properties of starch. Decomposition of starch scavenged by pre-cipitator of spinning factory with temperature were investigated using DSC and TGA. Combustion properties of starch according to amount were checked as temperature variation according to time using spontaneous ignition apparatus. Moreover, combustion properties with blowing or without blowing condition were checked in spontaneous ignition apparatus. As results of thermal analyses, increase in raising temperature causes initial smoldering temperature to move towards low temperature section. In addition, as amount of starch was increased, initial smoldering temperature was lowered. All of combustion forms were smoldering combustion. Initial smoldering temperature was low more slightly with blowing condition than without blowing condition in spontaneous ignition apparatus, which condition made heating value high.

In this paper, we fabricated the micro hotplate which consisted of a thin film heater(Pt/Cr bilayers) sandwiched with the thermal oxide and E-beam evaporated oxide. And we studied the electrical and the structural properties of Pt/Cr bilayers due to annealing temperature. When we compared the temperature measured from type k thermocouples with the temperature acquired from I.R. thermo-vision system according to the variations of emissivity, the emissivity of I-beam evaporated oxide was 0.5. The sheet resistance of Pt/Cr bilayers didn't depend on the Cr layer thickness, and it was considered as the existence of CrO between the Pt and the Cr layer. When the annealing temperature was increased from $500^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$, the out-diffusions of Cr were increased(which was confirmed by AES depth profile) and the grain size of Pt(220) phase was enlarged also(analyzed by XRD and SEM photographs). From the results of XRD analysis and AES depth profile, the Pt/Cr bilayers annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ were more stable than any other cases in structural properties.

In this study, in order to prevent the frost damage of the concrete, the characteristics of the form using heating sheet utilizing the chemical reaction of quicklime and the insulation were evaluated through experiments at low temperature. In the case of form at $-10^{\circ}C$, the form with attached heating sheet showed a temperature history of more than $10^{\circ}C$ higher than that of wood form at the early of concreting due to heat of the quicklime in the heating sheet. In the case of the insulated form, the concrete was kept at a high temperature by preserving the hydration heat. When the heating sheet and the isopink(extruded polystyrene) were attached together on the form, the effect was the same as that of the vacuum insulation. The compressive strength of the form with vacuum insulation and form with isopink, heating sheet as measured about 5 MPa at age 3. The experimental in Mongolia, as with the pervious results, the form with the heating sheet and the insulation showed the highest temperature history over $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. Therefore, it was confirmed that the heating sheet and insulation are attached to the form, which helps the concrete strength development at low temperature by heat generation and the insulation effect.

In this paper, the electrical and resistance heating properties of carbon fiber heating elements with different electroless Ni-P plating times for car seat were studied. The specific resistance and specific heat of the carbon fibers were determined using 4-point probe method and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The surface morphology and temperature of carbon fibers were measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermo-graphic camera, respectively. From experimental results, the nickel layer thickness and surface temperature of carbon fibers increased with increasing the plating time. However, the specific heat and specific resistance decreased with respect to the increased plating time. In conclusion, the electroless Ni-P plating could improve the resistance heating and electrical properties of carbon fiber heating elements for car seat.

In this study, nitrogen functional groups were introduced on graphite fiber (GF) to modify their electrical properties, and heating properties were investigated according to the treatment conditions. GF was prepared by a thermal solid-state reaction at $200^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Surface properties of the nitrogen doped GF were examined by XPS, and its resistance and heating temperature were measured using a programmable electrometer and thermo-graphic camera, respectively. The XPS result showed that the nitrogen functional groups on the GF surface were increased with increasing of urea contents, and the heating property of the GF was also improved as nitrogen functional groups were introduced. The maximum heating temperature of GF treated by urea was $53.8^{\circ}C$ at 60 V, which showed 55% improved heating characteristics compared to that of non-treated GF. We ascribe this effect to introduced nitrogen functional groups on the GF surface by thermal solid-state reaction, which significantly affects the heating characteristics of GF.
