This paper describes the thermoelastic instability arising from friction heat generation in braking and proposes the finite element methods to predict the variation of temperature and thermal deformation. In a conventional disc brake analysis, heat generation is only related with wheel speed and friction material and the interface pressure between disc and pad is assumed constant. But under dynamic braking conditions, the frictional heat causes the thermoelastic distortion that leads to more concentrated contact pressure distribution and hence more and more non-uniform temperature. In this paper, to complete the solution of the thermomechanically coupled problem, the linear relation model between pressure and temperature is proposed and demonstrated in examples of a simple two dimensional contact problem. And the two dimensional model has been extended to an annular three dimensional disc model in order to consider more realistic geometry and to provide a more accurate critical speed for automotive brake systems.

Axisymmetric numerical thermal analysis for a 3-dimensional regenerative cooling system in a rocket engine is carried out. To predict the accurate heat transfer with the stiff temperature distribution, several tests have been conducted for the grid size, the properties variation of the coolant and the combustion gas depending on temperature. The axisymmetric heat flux model is defined using fin efficiencies and is designed to be equivalent to the heat flux of the 3-dimensional coolant channel. For comparison purpose, the 1-dimensional analysis using Bartz equation is also conducted. The performance of the present model in predicting the cooling characteristics of a 3-dimensional regenerative cooling system is compared with the 3-dimensional results of RTE(Rocket Thermal Evaluation). It is found that the present method predicts much closer results to those of RTE code than 1-dimensional analysis.

인공위성은 발사체에 실려 임무궤도에 도달하는 동안 여러 과정을 겪고 이에 따른 우주 열환경에 노출되게 된다. 본 연구에서는 발사체의 페어링(Fairing)이 열리고 이후 인공위성이 임무궤도에 도달하는 동안까지 인공위성에 대한 열해석을 수치적인 방법을 이용하지 않고 해석해를 이용하여 수행하였다. 일반적으로 발사시 인공위성에 대한 열해석은 수치모델을 개발하여야 하는 시간과 노력이 많이 드는 작업이다. 그러나 수치 모델이 완성되기 전에 주요 부품에 대한 극한 환경에서의 온도 예측이 필요한 경우가 있다. 본 연구는 해석 기법을 이용하여 주요 부품의 온도를 비교적 간단한 방법으로 예측하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 열관련 지배방정식에 여러 가정을 적용하여 지배방정식을 최대한 단순화시켰다. 그 결과, 최종적으로 1차 미분 방정식 형태의 단순화된 지배방정식을 얻게 되었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 여러가지 조건에 대한 연구가 시도하였다. 즉 고려하는 대상의 질량이 일정하게 유지 되는 경우와 일정한 비율로 질량이 감소하는 경우, 인공위성이 최악의 고온환경과 최악의 저온환경에 처한 경우, 그리고 시간에 대한 변수항 때문에 약간의 수치작업이 필요한 경우가 연구되었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 해석해 기법은 적절한 우주 열환경 조건과 결합하게 되면 발사과정에 대한 완전한 수치모델이 완성되기전에 위성체 부품에 대한 열적 안정성을 검토하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Application of geothermal energy in buildings has been gaining popularity as it provides the benefits of both heating and cooling a building. Among the various types of geothermal energy systems, ground-coupled heat pump system is the most commonly applied one in South Korea. A ground heat exchanger plays an important role as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in summer. For the stable operation of a ground-coupled heat pump system, a ground heat exchanger should be sized so that it provides sufficient heating and cooling energy. Heating and cooling energies generated in ground heat exchangers mainly depend on the temperature difference between the heating medium in ground heat exchangers and the surrounding ground. In addition, the performance of ground heat exchangers influences the change in ground temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to consider this interrelation between the change in the ground temperature and the performance of ground heat exchanger for an accurate estimation of its performance. However, previous thermal analysis models for ground heat exchangers are not competent enough to allow a complete understanding of this interrelation. Therefore, this study proposes a three-dimensional equivalent, transient ground heat exchanger analysis model. First, a previous thermal analysis model for ground heat exchangers, including an analytical model, a g-function, and a numerical model are analyzed. Next, to overcome the limitations of the previous models, a three-dimensional equivalent, transient ground heat exchanger model is proposed. Finally, this study validated the proposed model with the measurement data of the thermal response test, sandbox test, and TRNSYS DST model. All validation results showed a good agreement. These findings helped us to investigate the thermal performance of ground heat exchangers more accurately than the analytical models, and faster than the numerical models. Furthermore, the proposed model contributes to the design of ground heat exchangers by considering the different operation conditions of buildings.

This paper presents the PCB heat dissipation characteristics of high density DC-DC converter for electric vehicles. This paper also analyzes the heat dissipation structure of the high density DC-DC converter and optimizes the PCB heat dissipation design of the high density power system through thermal analysis simulation. Based on heat transfer theory, the thermal path of general electronic devices is analyzed and the thermal resistance equivalent circuit is modeled in this paper. Additionally, the thermal resistance equivalent circuit of the 500W synchronous buck converter, which is addressed in this paper, is modeled to present a structural heat dissipation path for better thermal performance. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified through the thermal analysis simulation results and experiments applying multi-surface heat dissipation structure to a 500[W](12[V], 41.67[A]) synchronous buck converter prototype with an input voltage 72[V].

최근 초고압 전력기기에 대한 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있음에도 불구하고 통전용량에 크게 영향을 미치는 열해석에 대한 연구가 많이 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 초고압전력기기인 GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear)의 모선에 대한 열해석을 다루었다. 해석방법은 유한요소법을 이용하여 온도상승을 예측하였다. 유한요소법은 3각형 등의 임의의 형상을 요소로서 채용할 수 있으므로 3상 모선과 같이 복잡한 형상도 표현할 수 있다. 열전달계수는 형상, 유동조건, 유체의 종류를 고려한 상관식을 이용하여 해석적으로 정확히 계산하였다. 열해석에 있어 자계해석을 통한 도체 및 탱크의 손실값산정이 선행되어야 하는데, 이 손실값이 온도상승의 원인이 되므로 정확히 계산하여야 한다. 손실의 원인이 되는 도체 및 탱크의 저항은 온도가 상승함에 따라 비선형으로 변화하는데, 이것을 고려하여 반복적으로 계산함으로서 해석의 정확성을 높이고자 하였다. 실제 모델에 대한 온도상숭 실험치와 본 논문에서 제시한 방법으로 해석한 계산치와의 비교를 통해 타당성을 입증하였다.

Thermal characterization of geomaterials has significant implication on the geothermal energy, disposal of nuclear wastes, geological sequestration of carbon dioxides and recovery of hydrocarbon resources. Heat transfer in multiphase materials is dominated by the thermal conductivity of consisting components, porosity, degree of saturation and overburden pressure, which have been investigated by the empirical correlation at macro-scale. The thermal measurement by Transient Plane Source (TPS) and associated algorithm for interpretation of thermal behavior in geomaterials corroborate the robustness of sensing techniques. The method simultaneously provides thermal conductivity, diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity. The newly introduced thermal network model enables estimating thermal conductivity of geomaterials subjected to the effective stress, which has not been evaluated using previous thermal models. The proposed methods shows the applicability of reliability of TPS technique and thermal network model.

위성체 열설계의 기본 목적은 가혹한 우주 열환경 하에서 위성체를 보호하며, 위성이 임무를 보호하며, 위성이 임무를 수행하는 동안에 어떠한 우주 열환경 하에서도 모든 위성 부품이 허용되는 온도 내에서 작동하도록 하는 것이다. 발사시 열해석은 궤도상에서의 열해석과 달리 초기 조건인 발사시간을 기준으로 열해석을 수행하게 된다. 열해석에서는 위성체가 발사체에 탑재되기까지의 과정과 발사 후에 발사체와 분리되는 시점까지 고려하게 된다. 위성체의 형상은 태양전지판이 접혀있으며, 배터리만이 위성체에 전력을 공급하는 역할을 하게 된다. 발사시에 전력소비량을 감소시키는 유일한 방법은 히터소비량을 줄이는 것이며, 이 점에서 발사시 열해석이 중요해진다. 본 연구에서는 저궤도 위성 발사시에 최대 히터소비량을 예측하기 위하여 저온 조건을 가정하고 열모델을 작성하고 열해석을 수행하였다.
