In this work, charcoal making characteristics of Quercus phyllyaeoides (which has been known as one of best raw materials for charcoals) was investigated. Charcoal from Quercus phyllyaeoides had more than 85% of fixed carbon, which is 5~25% higher fixed carbon content than other charcoals. Also specific gravity of this charcoal was more than 1.0, which is quite higher than other black charcoals (average of commercial products: 0.52) or white charcoals (average of commercial products: 0.73). Methylene blue adsorption, pH, and adsorption of water vapour was lower than other commercial charcoals. Carolic value of this charcoal was similar to other commercial products. Far infrared ray's emission from this charcoal was higher than others. Application of charcoal from Quercus phyllyaeoides should be consider the characteristics of this product.

This study aims to examine the effects of thickness of the concrete members and curing temperature on the properties of low heat concrete through heat of hydration analysis. Type of the members that was analyzed in the experiment is ternary mixture of ordinary portland cement, blast-furnace slag incorporating ratio(20%) and fly ash incorporating ratio(30%), which formed a mat foundation. Thicknesses of the concrete members were 1, 2 and 3(m) and three levels of curing temperatures were 10, 20 and 30(℃). They were applied to analyze the effects on the temperature and thermal cracking index. As a result, for temperature history, temperature difference between the central area and the surface tended to decrease as the thickness of the concrete members get thinner. For the temperature cracking index, on the other hand, the risk of cracking tended to decrease as the curing temperature gets higher and as the thickness gets thinner.

It was studied to prepare high temperature heating elements using molybdenum disilicide($MoSi_2$). Molybdenum disilicide is widely used as material for manufacturing high temperature heating elements. $MoSi_2$ heating elements could be used at 1700-1900$^{\circ}C$. However, it is relatively expensive, and its demand depends on import. $MoSi_2$ powders was mixed with 4-5wt% of montmorillonites type bentonite as plasticizer and a small amount of $Si_3N_4$, $ThO_2$, and B as additives to prepare specimen of heating elements. Then, it was extruded, dried, sintered and machined followed by heating test. Effects of sintering conditions and amount of additives were investigated, It was sintered effectively at 1,350$^{\circ}C$ for five hours. Electrical resistivity was decreased with increasing of sintering temperature and time, and related with apparent density of the specimens. It was linealy decreased with increasing of sintered density. The heating elements thus prepared was stable at 1700$^{\circ}C$ and the physical properties such as specific electrical resistivity, hardness, apparent density, thermal expansion coefficient, and bending strength were almost identical with those of commercial heating elements.

FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) method, in this study, has been applied to analyzing thermal characteristics of a high speed machine tool spindle system. The spindle is composed of angular contact ceramic ball bearings, a high speed built-in motor, a cooling jacket, and so on. The cooling jacket has three inlets and outlets. Using the FSI method, temperature distributions and thermal displacements of the spindle system were computed considering the heating of the front and rear bearings and the built-in motor. The results computed using the FSI method were compared with those determined by experiment and using the conventional numerical approach. The results determined using the FSI method were similar to those from the conventional numerical approach but showed better agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, it is concluded that the FSI method is useful for analyzing the thermal characteristics of high speed spindles and can be applied to the design of high speed spindles.

Three properties of food waste are water 80%, ash 3%, volatile matter 17%. When food waste goes through treatment process such as removal of foreign substances, removal of water as well as sodium, dryness, and pulverization, it transforms into 4,000 Kcal/kg purverized fuel if moisture content is below 13%. Fuel ratio (fixed carbon/volatile matter) of purverized fuel is low compared with bituminuous coal. Ignition temperature measured by thermogravimetry analyzer is about $460^{\circ}C$. Combustion test of purverized fuel have been performed using energy recovery facility which include storage tank of dewatered cake, dryer, hammer mill, combuster including burner, boiler, flue gas treatment equipment. When 160-180 kg/hr of fuel is steadily supplied to burner for 3 hours, combustor temperature reaches about $1000^{\circ}C$ and CO is 77-103 ppm at 1.55 excess air ratio and SOx and Cl are under 2 ppm and 1ppm, respectively. This experiment demonstrate that purverized fuel made from food waste could be an alternative clean energy at the age of high oil price.

Differential scanning calorimetry and numerical analysis were performed to estimate the performance degradation and ignition characteristics of the pyrotechnic device due to aging. The reaction kinetics extracted from the calorimetry are implemented into the numerical simulation of the igniter and the pyrotechnic delay, subjected to natural, thermal, and hygrothermal aging conditions. Also, combustion experiments are conducted to confirm that aging due to moisture is a major cause of performance failure of the pyrotechnic device as shown from the present numerical simulations.

For power electronic devices, the thermal energy density per unit volume has seen a rapid increase in recent years, owing to the miniaturization and dense integration of electronic components, as well as the continuous development in performance and function. This research examined the validity and reliability of a thermal safety model for managing the heating conditions of TRIAC electronic components. Among the electronic components of a PCB, these can be considered as a heat source. Using the model, the heating conditions of TRIAC components were maintained at their design target levels in the process of developing an LMT motor drive board. In addition, the heating characteristics of the entire PCB were analyzed to verify its thermal safety. Finally, the reliability and validity of the thermal safety model for maintaining the heating conditions of the TRIAC electronic elements at adequate levels was verified using a numerical analysis method.

This study is to investigate the heating value and noxious gases generation such as CO, NO and $SO_2$ known as dangerous gas for human from specimen made of cement and lightweight aggregate. The most quanity of CO gas is generated in EPS(Expanded Poly Styrene), core of commercial sandwich panel. Although specimens mainly composed of cement discharged the relatively less CO gas than organic core such as EPS, specimens which SBR was added discharged the very much amount of CO gas similar to EPS and especially, specimens including foaming agent, gas foaming agent or redipersible powder of VA/VeoVa showed the good properties in the generation of CO gas. From the standpoint of the generation of NO and $SO_2$ gas, both the core of commercial sandwich panel such as EPS, Glass wool and specimens made with polymer dispersion such as St/BA and SBR discharge the very much amount of NO and $SO_2$ gas in comparison of the other specimens. From this study, it was confirmed that organic materials such as core of commercial sandwich panel dischared much more noxious gas than specimens composed of cement and inorganic lightweight aggregate.

As a field of MEMS, micro-heater fabricated by Au is being introduced and developed in recent years. Previous studies about thermal properties of various forms of micro-heater were not sufficient. In this work, numerical and experimental analysis of the heat generation and the temperature distribution of micro-heater packages for 8 different geometric cases were studied. We fabricated a micro-heater package with silicon wafer, on which Cr/Au layer was laminated before 8 geometric forms of micro-heater were patterned. In each cases, temperature distribution was measured with IR thermal camera. According to the experimental results, which show a good agreement with the results analyzed by CFD, it was found that at 0.5W, the temperature of micro-heater chip which contained $20000{\mu}m$-long, serpentine shaped micro-heater was elevated to a relatively high temperature of $78^{\circ}C$ Consequently, we proposed a geometry of micro-heater which has effective thermal characteristics.
