  • A heat transfer model for the case of simultaneous vibration of both the heated surface and its surrounding medium is constructed and the dimensional analysis is applied to this model in order to and the governing dimensionless Parameters in which the vibration effects the heat transfer. In the second Part of this study, an experimental investigation of the effect of vibration on natural convective heal transfer from spheres has been performed for the case of the external oscillatory motion being imposed on the heated surface which is immersed in an otherwise undisturbed air, The ranges of the experimental variables were: temperature difference 10 to $120^{\circ}C$; vibration frequency 10 to 120Hz; displacement amplitude 1.3 to 12.5mm. Three different diameter aluminum were used as the experimental models. Improvements in heat transfer due to vibration were observed, with the maximum increase being 330 Percent. A dimensionless correlation describing the measured heat transfer data is given.

  • A mathematical heat transfer model for the prediction of heat flux on the slab surface and temperature distribution in the slab has been developed by considering the thermal radiation in the furnace and transient conduction governing equations in the slab, respectively. The furnace is modeled as radiating medium with spatially varying temperature and constant absorption coefficient. The slab is moved with constant speed through non-firing, charging, preheating, heating, and soaking zones in the furnace. Radiative heat flux which is calculated from the radiative heat exchange within the furnace modeled using the FVM by considering the effect of furnace wall, slab, and combustion gases is applied as the boundary condition of the transient conduction equation of the slab. Heat transfer characteristics and temperature behavior of the slab is investigated by changing such parameters as absorption coefficient and emissivity of the slab. Comparison with the experimental work shows that the present heat transfer model works well for the prediction of thermal behavior of the slab in the reheating furnace.

  • Experimental study on the operating characteristics of a solar hybrid heat pump system according to indoor setting temperature were carried out during spring and winter season. The system was consisted of a concentric evacuated tube solar collector, heat medium tank, heat storage tank, and heat pump. As a result, the heating load was increased by 21.1% when the indoor setting temperature rose by 2oC for the same ambient temperature. Besides, the spring season had good outdoor conditions compared to the winter season, therefore the heating load was reduced and heat gain by collector increased, relatively. In case of the winter season, the solar fraction was shown less than 10% because the heat losses of system and space increased considerably. The solar fraction decreased significantly as the indoor setting temperature increased.

  • Laser heat treatment technology is used for improving the feature of fatigue resistance and wear resistance in mobile parts. The purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics of laser heat treatment and high frequency heat treatment, which is commonly used in industrial place. For the preemptive experiment, the distribution, depth and size of hardening and its micro-structural features were compared between surface heat treatment case by defocusing and variables of each process for heat treatment by exclusively manufactured heat treatment optical system. As a result, high frequency heat treatment has wide distribution of hardening depth and width about 3 times larger than laser heat treatment, however, its average hardness showed 621.4Hv which is smaller than the average hardness of laser heat treatment with 691Hv.

  • In this study, the numerical analysis to estimate condensation heat and mass transfer of the condenser was carried out using the PMA (porous medium approach). In the PMA, the details of tube bundle in the condenser are replaced by the porous medium, and the flow resistance term is added in the momentum equation. In this regard, the PMA is quite helpful for the study of tube bundle in the large condenser. The pressure loss through tube bundle can be compensated by viscous and inertial momentum sink terms, which was validated numerically. Value of the pressure drop was compared to that of Butterworth correlation. Three dimensional analysis of condensation for McAllister condenser with the PMA was conducted using Fluent 6.2 and UDFs (use-defined functions). The result of condensation rate was analogous to previous results (experimental and numerical data).

  • The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of seven Bifidobacterium spp. strains was examined by an indirect SOD assay method. Some Bifidobacterium spp. showed significant levels of SOD activity. However, we could not observe any significant differences between anaerobic and aerobic cultures. Furthermore, although several Bifidobacterium spp. exhibited some degree of tolerance to paraquat which produces superoxide radicals, the apparent SOD activity of these strains was not correlated with their resistance to paraquat. In addition, when we added increasing amounts of manganese or iron to MRS medium which had been prepared without either of the metal ions, the apparent SOD activity of cell free extracts (CFEs) was increased with increasing concentration of both metal ions. To our surprise, the heat-denatured CFEs also showed nearly identical correlative patterns. Based on these results, the apparent SOD activity was likely due to a nonenzymatic dismutation. These results strongly suggest that high concentration of divalent metal ions ($Mn^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$) in MRS medium result in nonenzymatic dismutation which can lead to false positive SOD activities in Bifidobacerium spp.

  • Thermophotovoltaics is the direct energy conversion technology from thermal to electric (voltaic) energy via photon radiation, without any thermodynamic cycle. It is, in general, accomplished by immersing solid body in high temperature heat source (e.g. combustion field), in order to achieve high intensity irradiation, and by receiving the radiation thereof on photovoltaic cells. In this paper, advantages of combustion in porous inert medium in applying to the thermophotovoltaics are discussed in a view of its excess enthalpy features. In addition, the similarities of flame behaviors in porous inert medium to both in single and multi-channels are described.
