The heat generated by the brake system of vehicles results in reduction of friction force on the brake surface and vibration during a braking. To solve these problems, extensive research for the brake shape has been conducted such as drilling cooling holes on the brake disc, accommodating ventilated holes and etc. In this study, we suggest the circumferential pressing type brake disc in order to improve its cooling performance. In order to compare the cooling-down efficiency between the conventional side-pressing type and the circumferential-pressing type, we adopted the FMVSS 105-77 as thermal analysis conditions and This newly proposed concept has been verified using Thermal-structure Coupled Field Analysis along with comparative analysis with the existing ventilated disk.

An engine cooling system affects overall performances of an engine which has been recently requested higher power in more confined engine room. The design of efficient cooling system demands a great effort to effectively correlate with each components, such as water jacket, radiator, coolant pump, cooling fan, etc. Thus, the aim of this study is to provide the design tool of the cooling system in the early design stage by enabling for the designer to accurately predict the engine cooling performances. This user-friendly design tool has various ways to assemble each components and control the running condition with related database. The present design tool was simulated and compared with experimental data. As a result, the inlet and outlet temperature of the radiator agree very well with experiments. It was concluded that the present design tool could be effectively used for the design of the engine cooling system.

A new super compact condenser(SCC), which has been developed recently is especially suitable for an alternative refrigerant HFC-134a due to its high performance and compactness. The SCC is composed of two pipe headers, baffles, narrow multi-rectangular channels, and louvered fin arrays. Alternating inlet and outlet by the inserted baffles in pipe headers guide refrigerant to and from the narrow multi-rectangular channels. Since the flow rate and its lengh are changed depending on the number and location of baffles, the corresponding pressure drop and heat transfer rate are changed. The present study aims to theoretically and experimentally investigate the effects of baffle location and its number on the pressure drop and thermal performance of the SCC with 40 multi-rectangular channels. The results show that the present method provides an acceptable prediction of pressure drop and heat transfer rate for a 4 pass SCC. However, the model significantly under predicts the performance of a 3 pass SCC, which may be attributed to the phase separation of refrigerant flowing through header pipes. Pressure drop is more signifi- cantly influenced than heat transfer rate by the baffle location.

The flow and thermal performance of the skiving and louver fin type heat sinks for the cooling system of the small LED projector were experimentally evaluated. A small fan tester based on AMCA standards was used to control and measure the air flow rate into the heat sink. Three heat blocks were used to simulate the heat and light sources(red, green and blue) of the small LED projector. We measured the pressure drop, temperatures and input power at the specific air flow rate and discussed those results. As a result, it is found that the louver fin type heat sink has higher pressure drop and lower thermal resistance than the skiving type. From the comparison of the temperature of the heat block between skiving and louver fin type, the louver fin type heat sink was found to be more suitable for cooling the high power heat source than skiving type. The thermal performance of the fan-sink(louver fin type) system was discussed with the picture taken by a thermal video.

Fuel cell is a device for producing electricity by using the hydrogen produced by the fuel processor. At this time, CO is also created by the fuel processor. The resulting CO enters the stack where is produce electricity and leads to the adsorption of anode catalyst, finally the CO poisoning occurs. Stack which occurred CO poisoning has a reduction in performance and shelf life are gradually fall because they do not respond to hydrogen. In this paper, experiments that using a PROX reactor to prevent CO poisoning were carried out for removing the CO concentration to less than 10ppm range available in the fuel cell. Furthermore experiments by the PROX reaction was designed and manufactured with a water-cooling heat exchange reactor to maintain a suitable temperature control due to the strong exothermic reaction.

Recently according to the fashion of well-being, the case study of under floor heating system type for residential space is increasing. Specially double slab floor system can make several roles as reducing the acoustic noises and also supplying fresh air through the gap. So in present study floor heating performance was examined with various location of the space in the case of floor supply air and ceiling supply air. In both cases return air went out through ceiling opening. As one of the result is that when using the heat pipe type floor heating system the temperature difference between supply and return water was $15.2^{\circ}C$, but in case of commercial type floor heating system the temperature difference was $5.3^{\circ}C$ when the supply water temperature was $50^{\circ}C$.

The thermal control device using solid-liquid phase change material (PCM) is designed, manufactured, and experimented in thermal environment chamber. The n-Hexadecane is selected as a PCM and its melting point is placed within the component working temperature range. The PCM container is made of Al6061 and has the thermal spreading fins inside. To simulate the working condition for on-orbit satellite the heat pipes are used to connect the heater and radiator and the PCM thermal control device (PCMTD) is installed at the middle portion of heat pipes. The thermal buffer mass (TBM), which is same configuration and volume with PCMTD, is also manufactured to compare the thermal control performance. As a result, the PCMTD is not only more efficient than TBM in their temperature control features but both mass and power of compensation heater are reduced.

This paper reports numerical study results with respect to the thermal performance of various hybrid fins (HFs) and a pin fin (PF) passively cooled under natural convection state. Investigated HFs are a basic hybrid fin (BHF), a hollow hybrid fin (HHF), and a solid hybrid fin (SHF). CFD models for both HFs and the PF have been developed to explore their thermal performance under various heat dissipations. Thermal performances of fins have been analyzed by quantifying array-based heat transfer coefficients, $h_a$, and mass-based heat transfer coefficients, $h_m$, for each fin. Study results show that $h_a$ of the SHF is 23% greater than that of the PF. $h_m$ of the HHF is found to be even 140% greater than that of the PF, and the HHF is found to be 40% better than the BHF in terms of the mass-based performance, $h_{m{\cdot}}$.

금속을 용해 응고시킬 때 생성되는 소위, 주조 결함이나 소결금속 내의 기공은 재료의 성능이나 강도를 현저하게 낮추는 결함으로서 예전부터 기피되어 왔다. 또한, 재료공정에 있어서도 여하의 기공이나 기포가 없는 치밀한 고강도 및 고기능성 재료를 개발하는 것에 최대한의 주의와 관심을 기울여 왔다. 반면에 자연계의 천연물이나 인공물을 둘러보면 그 대부분이 다공질임을 쉽게 눈치챌 수 있다. 예를 들어 목재, 지엽 등의 생물을 시작해서 콘크리트 등의 인공물, 우리 체내의 뼈도 전형적인 다공질구조로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 구조로부터 재료의 재질제어 이외에 구조제어라는 새로운 어프로치를 고려할 수 있고, 최근 들어, 금속재료에 있어서도 이러한 다공질 구조에 관한 연구가 활성화되어 충격흡수재, 생체재료, 베어링재료 등의 다양한 응용이 전개되고 있다. 원주상의 방향성 기공을 갖는 로터스 금속의 제조 원리는 용융금속의 높은 가스용해도와 고체금속의 낮은 가스고용도의 차이를 이용하여 응고할 때 고용되지 않는 가스원자가 기포를 형성시키는 것이다. 수소용해도는 모든 금속에 있어서 온도상승에 따라 증가하지만 융점에 있어서 용해도의 불연속적 증가를 나타내며 응고할 때 고액계면에서 다량의 가스를 방출하고 기공 생성을 야기한다. 특히, 고 액상에 있어서 수소용해도 차가 큰 마그네슘, 니켈, 철, 동 등은 기포를 생성하기 쉽다. 또한 기공의 배열구조를 제어하기 위해 일방향응고법를 이용하여 기공에 방향성을 부여한다. 외관상 기공구조가 연근뿌리를 닮은 것으로 부터 로터스 금속이라는 명칭이 널리 알려져 있다. 이와 같은 제조방법에 의해 로터스 금속은 기공 방향, 기공크기, 기공률을 자유롭게 제어할 수 있고 우수한 기계적 성질이 기존의 발포금속, 소결금속과 전혀 다른 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 기공구조는 용해온도, 응고속도, 분위기 가스압, 불활성가스와의 혼합체적비 등의 제어를 통해서 조절할 수 있다. 이와 같이 제조한 방향성 다공질금속은 BT (인플란트, 생체적합성, 저탄성, 경량), ST (초음속기엔진부품, 경량), IT (고성능수냉모듈), ET(고온촉매, 필터)의 분야로의 응용을 기대한다.
