In the present study, the characteristics of conductive and convective heat transfer occurred in a circular absorber of PTC (parabolic trough concentrator) for medium temperature solar energy utility were numerically investigated. A circular tube was considered as an absorber and the shape of PTC modeled in this study was based on the system that was installed in Korea Institute of Energy Research. Not only convection inside the tube but also conduction through the wall of the tube were analyzed, simultaneously. Circumferentially non-uniform heat flux that was simulated from the non-uniform solar disc model proposed by Jose was applied as thermal boundary condition on the tube surface. And, hydrodynamically fully developed laminar velocity profile was used as the inlet boundary condition and it was assumed that the working fluid was water. And, local heat fluxes at the interface of the tube and the working fluid were calculated for different wall thickness and thermal conductivity of the tube at various Reynolds number. Based on the results, the effects of thermal conduction of the tube on the local heat transfer were investigated.

Recently, hearing loss patients have been increasing to excessive use of various multimedia devices. One of the hearing rehabilitation systems, bone conduction hearing aid can be used to conductive deafness patients efficiently. However, the conventional bone conduction hearing systems has some problems such as skin diseases, repulsion of patients, and vibration power reduction by skin damping. In this paper, to overcome the conventional problems, we proposed power improvement method by curved beam diaphragm. The proposed method is skin attachment system which is non-implantable, and then the power of transducer is improved by the proposed method. In order to improve the vibration power of diaphragm, variable that has correlation with displacement are extracted, the diaphragm designed by extracted variable. To verify efficient of the proposed method, experiment conducted by finite element analysis. As a result of, the proposed method confirmed improved power to compare with the conventional method and proposed method.

In dish concentrating system, natural convection heat loss occurs in cavity receiver. Heat loss mechanisms of conduction, convection, and radiation can reduce the system efficiency. To obtain the high efficiency, the receiver is to absorb the maximum of solar energy and transfer to the working fluid with maximum of heat losses. The convection heat loss is an important factor to determine the system performance. Numerical analysis of the convection heat loss of receiver was carried out for varing inclinaton angle from 0$^{\cdot}$ to 70$^{\cdot}$ with temperature range from 400$^{\cdot}C$ to 600$^{\cdot}C$ using the commercial software package, Fluent 6.0. The result of numerical analysis was comparable with convection heat loss model of solar receiver.

As a function of sintering temperature and time, the electrical properties of ruthenium based thick film resistors were investigated with microstructure. The variatio of resistivity and TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance)trends of sintered speciman at various sintering temperature were different low resistivity paste(Du Pont 1721) from high one(Du Pont 1741). These phenomena are deeply relative to microstructure of sintered film. With increasing the sintering temperature for 1721 system, the electrical sheet resistivity decreased, but again gradually increased above 80$0^{\circ}C$. And TCR trends in 1721 system are all positive. On the other hand the electrical sheet resistivity of 1741 resistor system decreased with sintering temperature. And TCR trends variable according to sintering temperature. TCR of speciman sintered at $700^{\circ}C$ was negative value, and TCR of 80$0^{\circ}C$ sintered speciman coexisted negative and positive value. But in case of speciman sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$, TCR was positive value. As results of this fact, it was well known that the charge carrier contributied to electrical conduction in 1741 resistor system varied with sintering temperature.

A flyback type power converter circuit for switched reluctance motor drives is presented. In this converter circuit, the energy extracted from an off going phase is stored in an additional capacitor. The energy stored is used to either be returned to the source frequently or energize the conducting phase during the conduction interval through the transformer. The additional switch to pass the energy stored in the capacitor to the source or the conducting phase is switched under a relatively low voltage condition. Its switching frequency is relatively high so that the size of the transformer can be reduced. The design guideline for the capacitor and the transformer is described. The effectiveness of the presented converter circuit is compared to other circuits through the analysis and experiment.

The presence of the conduction interface in epitaxial $LaAlO_3/SrTiO_3$ thin films has opened up challenging applications which can be expanded to next-generation nano-electronics. The metallic conduction path is associated with two adjacent insulating materials. Such device structure is applicable to frequency-dependent impedance spectroscopy. Impedance spectroscopy allows for simultaneous measurement of resistivity and dielectric constants, systematic identification of the underlying electrical origins, and the estimation of the electrical homogeneity in the corresponding electrical origins. Such unique capability is combined with the intentional control on the interface composition composed of $SrTiO_3$ and $CaTiO_3$, which can be denoted by $SrxCa1-_xTiO_3$. The underlying $Sr_xCa1-_xTiO_3$ interface was deposited using pulsed-laser deposition, followed by the epitaxial $LaAlO_3$ thin films. The platinum electrodes were constructed using metal shadow masks, in order to accommodate 2-point electrode configuration. Impedance spectroscopy was performed as the function of the relative ratio of Sr to Ca. The respective impedance spectra were analyzed in terms of the equivalent circuit models. Furthermore, the impedance spectra were monitored as a function of temperature. The ac-based characterization in the 2-dimensional conduction path supplements the dc-based electrical analysis. The artificial manipulation of the interface composition will be discussed towards the electrical application of 2-dimensional materials to the semiconductor devices in replacement for the current Si-based devices.

The heat conduction problem with discontinuous material coefficients generally consists of the conservative equation, boundary condition, and interface condition, which should be additionally satisfied in the solution procedure. This feature often makes the development of new numerical schemes difficult as it induces a layered singularity in the solution fields; thus, a special approximation is required to capture the singular behavior. In addition to the approximation, the construction of a total system of equations is challenging. In this study, a wedge function is devised for enriching the approximation, and the interface condition itself is embedded in the moving least squares(MLS) derivative approximation to consistently satisfy the interface condition. The heat conduction problem is then discretized in a strong form using the developed derivative approximation, which is named as the interface immersed MLS difference method. This method is able to efficiently provide a numerical solution for such interface problems avoiding both numerical quadrature as well as extra difference equations related to the interface condition enforcement. Numerical experiments proved that the developed numerical method was highly accurate and computationally efficient at solving the heat conduction problem with interfacial jump as well as the problem with a geometrically induced interfacial singularity.

Most of Static electricity forms part of our daily experience broadly. Most people have noticed from time to time electric shocks when closing of their car or after walking across a carpet, operating shredder in winter and touching a metal handle. This electrostatic discharge nuisance is normally a minor inconvenience, but in some cases static electricity can cause more serious problems. Static electricity can also be harnessed to good effect in Position Control System.
