Due to of high intensity, lower noise and easy controllability of the heat, induction heating system became well known. Induction heating method has been suggested as substitute for the gas heat source and adopted in the automation of curved hull forming system. In this study, an investigation was accomplished to find the effects on the change of material properties when the induction heating was applied on the mild steel plate. Plates were heated using weaving method to get sufficiently heat affected zone and then cooled with water or in the air. The mechanical properties of the heated plate were evaluated. As results, the tensile test, impact test and microstructures satisfied the class rule.

Recently, the demand for the development of high quality and high-speed laser printers and efficient power utilization has required. Among complicated electro-mechanic devices in laser printers, the toner-fusing unit consumes above 90[%] of all electrical energy needed for printing devices. Therefore, the development of a more effective energy-saving toner fusing process becomes a significant task in great demand. Generally, there are several ways to implement a fusing unit. Among them this paper presents a new induction heating method. The proposed induction heating method enables the increase of coupling coefficient between heating coil and heat roller which also increases total energy transfer efficiency. Therefore, the proposed IH (Induction Heating) inverter system provides very fast W.U.T. (Warm UP Time) as well as higher efficiency. Through experimental results, the proposed control system is verified.

To establish the design criteria for seasonal heating load calculation in greenhouses, standard weather data are required. However, they are being provided only at seven regions in Korea. So, instead of using standard weather data, in order to find the method to build design weather data for seasonal heating load calculation, heating degree-hour and heating degree-day were analyzed and compared by methods of fundamental equation, Mihara's equation and modified Mihara's equation using normal and thirty years from 1981 to 2010 hourly weather data provided by KMA and standard weather data provided by KSES. Average heating degree-hours calculated by fundamental equation using thirty years hourly weather data showed a good agreement with them using standard weather data. The 24 times of heating degree-day showed relatively big differences with heating degree-hour at the low setting temperature. Therefore, the heating degree-hour was considered more appropriate method to estimate the seasonal heating load. And to conclude, in regions which are not available standard weather data, we suggest that design weather data should be analyzed using thirty years hourly weather data. Average of heating degree-hours derived from every year hourly weather data during the whole period can be established as environmental design standards, and also minimum and maximum of them can be used as reference data for energy estimation.

The heating unit of direct heating method manufactured as the plasma spray coating of $TiO_2/NiCr$ conductive heating material on the surface of heating unit in order to improve the disadvantages of indirect heating method. $TiO_2$ and NiCr (80wt.%Ni-20wt.%Cr) that had the properties of conduction and heating was chosen for the conductive heating material. The compositions of the composite powders were studied $TiO_2-30wt.%NiCr\;and\;TiO_2-10wt.%NiCr$. As the heating temperature was increased, the hardness of heating layer was increased because of the fine microstructure and the decrease of porosity. The adhesion strength was decreased for coarsening and connection of voids in the insulation layer, and the electrical resistivity of heating layer was increased for fine crack formation and growth. In this study, the best efficient sprayed coatings with heating unit was concluded as the plasma sprayed $TiO_2-10wt.%NiCr$ coatings that was heat treated at $300^{\circ}C$.

In this study, a formula for thermal processing induced plate deformations, in terms of process parameters such as heat input and plate thickness, is developed analytically using an infinite laminated plate theory to consider cuboidal inclusion with an eigenstrains. When a plate has arbitrary heating lines, complex deformed shape of plate was calculated by the method estimating plate deformation proposed by this study. To make a curved surface of the ship hull, the line heating method is mainly used. Application in automatization of line heating was deliberate by using proposed method.

This study showed that the brown stock, which is the base of demi-glace sauce, extracted by using a high pressure heating extractor is more advantageous than that extracted by the traditional extraction method for the mass production. We compared the former with the latter in terms of minerals and free amino acids. The results of this study are summarized as follows. When mineral contents were compared, the brown stock extracted by high.pressure heating extraction showed the tendency of increase in mineral contents in proportion to heating temperature and heating time, but, from extraction temperature of 140$^{\circ}C$, the contents of K, Mg, Na and P decreased with the increase of extraction time. In addition, mineral contents in the brown stock extracted by high-pressure heating extraction were generally lower than those in brown stock extracted by the traditional extraction method. This result was produced probably because materials were added repeatedly in the traditional method. Amino acids contents in brown stock according to the extraction methods were also examined. They increased with the increase in the number of extractions in the brown stock extracted by the traditional method, and those in the brown stock extracted using a high pressure heating extractor increased with the increase in heating temperature and extraction time. The results of this study are expected to be useful as a practical material for the mass production of brown stock products.

During fabrication of deck house block in passenger ships, the problem of unexpected large deformation and distortion frequently occurs. In this case, line and spot heating method were widely used to correct the distortion of thin plate structure. Spot heating was especially used for the case under 5mm thickness. Few papers are available on the working conditions of spot heating method but only little information on deformation control. In this study, evaluation was carried out on the temperature distribution of spot heating methods using FEA and practical experiments for various heating time. IIn FEA, heat input model was established using Tsuji's double Gaussian heat input mode (Tsuji, I., 1988). This model was verified by comparing with experimental data. Also radial shrinkage and angular distortion due to spot heating were determined and compared with experimental results. Thermo elasto-plastic analysis was performed using commercial FE code, MSC/MARC. Radial shrinkage and angular distortion were measured using 3D measuring apparatus. Based on these results, simplified analysis model for deformation by spot heating was established.

In this study, a consumer willingness to pays for residential heating systems are estimated by economic valuation method. The major Korean residential heating systems in apartments are central heating system (CH), district heating system (DH), and individual heating system (IH). However, DH and IH systems are adopted in newly constructed apartments. Each heating system has own characteristics which residents can identify and value. 700 households in apartment were surveyed to analyze the preference of the residential heating systems and to estimate willingness to pay. We find that the households in DH system are more satisfied with their heating system than the households in other systems overall and that consumers prefer an apartment with DH system than with IH system and the willingness to pay for IH system is less than DH system. The results indicate that DH system has the relative premium which may be caused by the safety and the convenience to manage the system.

Multi-step induction heating process was applied to the powder compact melting technique as a new heating process to achieve pinpoint accuracy, faster cycle time, repeatability, non-contact and energy-efficient heat in a minimal amount of time. The objective of this study is the establishment of the input data diagram of multi step induction heating process for automation of the fabrication process of 6061 Al foams with desired density. At first, proper induction coil was designed to obtain a uniform temperature distribution over the entire cross sectional area of specimen. By using this coil, foaming experiments were performed to investigate the multi-step induction heating conditions such as capacity, temperature and time conditions of each heating and holding step. On the basis of the obtained multi-step induction heating conditions, relationship between final heating temperature and fraction of porosity was investigated.

For evaluating kinetic parameters of various reactions and materials a straight- forward method has been studied by the variable heating rate method in DSC analysis. Based on the linear relationship between the logarithm of the heating rate and reciprocal Peak temperature, this method allows calculation of activation energy and the Arrhenius frequency factor by only one observation of the peak temperature versus the heating rate. According to tile D function, D=-In P(x)/dx, to x(=$\frac{E}{RT}$) we can calculate reasonably accurate activation energy, tile Arrhenius factor and the rate constant, and predict half-life times of various materials from the kinetic calculation.
