To investigate the pressure dependence of minimum ignition energy(MIE), thermal ignition theory, concept of heat transfer, ideal gas law, and kinetic theory are discussed. Correlation equations for the MIE and pressure were obtained through a regression analysis of reported data. In the proposed methodology the predicted MIE with pressure variations agree with reported data within a few average absolute deviations(A.A.D.). Therefore the proposed methodology has provided to be the general method for predicting the MIE of hydrocarbons.

Experiment was performed to study the heat transfer characteristics in 27 kinds of 15 : 1 scale models of multi-louverred fin heat exchangers with a wide range of variables(R $e_{Lp}$ =100~1, 800, $L_p$/F$p$=0.3~0.9, $\theta$=20$^{\circ}$~40$^{\circ}$). Thermofoil heaters were used to heat the louver fins and the local average Nusselt number for each louver in the louver array was obtained at constant wall temperature conditions. Correlations are developed to predict the heat transfer characteristics and drag coefficients. Generally, the heat transfer characteristics in the multi-louvered fins is shown to be similar to those of the laminar heat transfer on a flat plate. As the Reynolds number, the louver pitch to fin pitch ratio$L_p$/F$p$and the louver angle($\theta$) increase respectively, the average Nusselt number increases, but the variation of average Nusselt number as a function of the louver angle is smaller than that as a function of the louver pitch to fin pitch ratio. In case of$L_p$/F$p$ <0.5, the average Nusselt number of the 3rd louver is especially lower than the others, it is expected that it is due to the flow structure such as a recirculation flow and a flow separation.

The paper describes a theoretical model for the prediction of bridge temperatures from meteorological data measured at bridge site and local meteorological center together with existing finite element heat transfer theory and solar radiation transfer theory to determine the time dependent temperature distribution of bridge. In this analytical model, the most adequate equation for the calculation of solar radiation on the bridge surface, which is dominant in day time is described based on the results of several experimental studies for the solar energy. The validity of this model is tested against field data obtained from long term experimental program on Sadang Viaduct in Seoul. Also, this paper describes the linear correlation between design variables and meteorological data to establish analytical criteria for the prediction of the average temperature, which are responsible for the longitudinal deformation of the bridges and of the vertical differential temperature profiles. which are responsible for the bending deformations from the long term experimental results.

This paper aims to examine the effect of nanodroplets on pool-type absorption heat transfer enhancement and to find the relationship between the dispersion stability and the absorption performance. The concentrations of oil and surfactant are considered as the key parameters. $C_{12}E_4$ and Tween20 are used as the surfactants and N-decane oil is added to the $NH_3/H_2O$ solution to make the binary nanoemulsion fluids. Binary nanoemulsion fluids are dispersed by the ultrasonic vibrator and the stirrer under specific conditions. The dispersion stability of binary nanoemulsion fluids for each oil concentrations is evaluated from the droplet size and Tyndall effect analysis. The absorption performance of binary nanoemulsion fluids is compared with the result of dispersion stability. In addition, it is found that the binary nanoemulsion fluid is a strong candidate as a new working fluid for absorption applications.

In this study, finite element analysis was carried out through the finite element analysis program (ANSYS) to investigate the fire resistance of composite columns in fire. Transient heat transfer analysis and static structural analysis were performed according to ASTM E 119 heating curve and axial force ratio 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 by applying stress-strain curves according to temperature, and loading heating experiments were carried out under the same conditions. In addition, the nominal compressive strength of the composite column according to the heating time according to the standard(Eurocode 4) was calculated and expressed as the axial force ratio and compared with the analytical and experimental values. Through the analysis, As a result of finite element analysis, the fire resistance time was 180 minutes and similar value to the experimental value was obtained, whereas the fire resistance time 150 minutes and 60 minutes were derived from the axial force ratios 0.6 and 0.7. In addition, it was confirmed that the fire resistance time according to the axial force ratio calculated according to the reference equation (Eurocode 4) was lower than the actual experimental value. However, it was confirmed that the standard(Eurocode 4) was higher than the experimental value at the axial force ratio of 0.7. Accordingly, it is possible to confirm the fire resistance characteristics(time-axial force ratio relationship) of the SRC column at high axial force, and to use the experimental and anaylsis data of the SRC column as the data for verification based on Eurocode.

All evacuated tube collector is being constantly studied since it can reduce the conductive heat loss in absorber by using vacuum technology and has advantage of heat transport capacity and quick thermal response in comparatively small temperature difference. This study investigated the dynamic thermal performance of the solar collector with the control condition of solar irradiance and fluid temperature by using performance experimental apparatus which is combined with solar collector and refrigerator, examined the thermal characteristics in definite temperature range of fluid in constant temperature tank by simultaneously measuring refrigerating performance. As a result of it, I deducted the related equation of collector efficiency and found that mean collector efficiency has increased through quick heat transfer characteristics according to increase of outdoor temperature and irradiance in case of outlet temperature of constant temperature tank $22^{\circ}C$ when set outlet temperature of solar collector $25^{\circ}C$ with outlet temperature of constant temperature tank $18^{\circ}C$ & $22^{\circ}C$. Also COP of refrigerator was acquired value of 6.2~7.1 at outlet temperature of constant temperature tank $18^{\circ}C$.

A study was carried out to determine the optimal sterilization conditions of cooked rice packed in retort pouch and processed in a steam-air system retort. The cooked rice packed in retort pouch in various thickness (15, 20 and 25 mm) was processed at various heating temperature (110, 115 and $120^{\circ}C$) with $F_0$-value 6.0. In order to evaluate quality change during the thermal prosessing, C-values, based on z-value $33^{\circ}C$ and $F_0$ value 6.0, were also calculated at surface, center and mass average temperatures. Subsequent storage study revealed that the cooked rice packed in 15 mm thickness and processed at $120^{\circ}C$ with$F_0$-value 6.0 could be held without any spoilage and color change, when stored for 6 months at $38{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ under saturation humidity.
