Supercooled type ice slurry system is hard to keep a proper supercooling degree when solution becomes supercooling state. This is the reason of the ice blockage in pipe or cooling part due to an unstable cooling state. In this study, a cooling experiment was performed to pressurized solution in a stationary state. The behaviors during the supercooled aqueous solution were investigated at fixed flow rate of brine and aqueous solution of ethylene glycol 7 mass%. Also the effect to the freezing point of supercooled aqueous solution was investigated to the different pressure 101, 202, 303, and 404 kPa. At results, the pressure of the aqueous solution in the cylinder increased the supercooling degree increased and dissolution of supercooled point decreased.

As transistor density increases rapidly, a heat flux from IC device rises at fast rate. Thermal issues raised by high heat flux cause IC's performance and reliability problems. To solve these thermal management problems, the conventional cooling methods of IC devices were reached their thermal limit. As a result, alternative cooling methods such as liquid heat pipe, thermoelectric cooler, thermal Si via and etc. are currently emerging. In this paper microchannel liquid cooling system with TSV was investigated. The effects of 2 coolants (DI water and ethylene glycol 70 wt%) and 3 metal bumps (Ag, Cu, Cr/Au/Cu) on cooling performance were studied, and the total heat flux of various coolant and bump cases were compared. Surface temperature of liquid cooling system was measured by infrared microscopy, and liquid flowing through microchannel was observed by fluorescence microscope. In the case of ethylene glycol 70 wt% at $200^{\circ}C$ heating temperature, the total heat flux was $2.42W/cm^2$ and most of total heat flux was from liquid cooling effect.

Based on the Arrhenius equations, several hydration exothermic models that precisely calculate the influence of concrete's self-temperature duration on its hydration exothermic rate have been presented. However, the models' convergence is difficult to achieve when applied to engineering projects, especially when the activation energy of the Arrhenius equation is precisely considered. Thus, the models' convergence performance should be improved. To solve this problem and apply the model to engineering projects, the relationship between fast iteration and proper expression forms of the adiabatic temperature rise, the coupling relationship between the pipe-cooling and hydration exothermic models, and the influence of concrete's self-temperature duration on its mechanical properties were studied. Based on these results, the rapid convergence of the hydration exothermic model and its coupling with pipe-cooling models were achieved. The calculation results for a particular engineering project show that the improved concrete hydration exothermic model and the corresponding mechanical model can be suitably applied to engineering projects.

In HANARO, a multi-purpose research reactor of 30 MWth, the emergency water supply system consists essentially of an emergency water storage tank located in the level of about thirteen meter (13 m) above the reactor core, a three inch ('3\%') diameter water injection pipe line including injection valves from the tank to the reactor cooling inlet pipe and a test loop to do periodic system performance test. When the water level of the reactor pool comes down to the extremely low due to a loss of reactor pool water accident the emergency water stored in the tank should be fed to the core by the gravity force and at that time the design flow rate is eleven point four kilogram per second (11.4 kg/s). But it is impossible periodically to measure the injection flow rate under the emergency condition because the normal water level should be maintained during the reactor operation. This paper describes a flow network analysis to simulate the flow rate under the emergency condition. As results, it was confirmed through the analysis results that the calculated flow rate agrees with the design requirement under the emergency condition.

Since the high heat generation of LED chips can cause a reduction in lifetime, degradation of luminous efficiency, and variation of color temperature, studies have been carried out on the optimization of LED packaging and heat sinks. Recently, LED packages have been applied to high-power lights such as car headlamps or street lights, and it is known that cooling using only free convection is not at all efficient. Thus, in this study, a heat pipe with forced convection was examined for the optimization of the cooling performance in high-power LED lights. In addition, optimal on-off control of a fan was adopted to increase the fan lifetime, since the lifetime of the fan is generally shorter than that of the LEDs.

The Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) operates to pump the working fluid by means of the capillary force in a wick structure. Particularly, it is difficult to design and manufacture the evaporator consisted of a grooved container and a compensation chamber as well as the wick structure. This study is related to design and manufacture the grooved container coupled with wick structure, the properties of the wick structure such as the permeability, the porosity, and the maximum capillary pressure were measured to apply the cooling technology for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). The container of the LHP was manufactured by the electrical discharge process and the wick structure was sintered with the nickel particle by an axial-press apparatus with the pulse electronic discharge. As results, the properties of the wick were experimentally obtained about 60% of the porosity, 35kPa of the maximum capillary force and $1.53{\times}10-13m2$ of the permeability.

In this study, we developed a system that automatically removes the scale in the piping by using electrolysis principle in order to solve the cooling performance of the refrigeration and air conditioning system by acting as heat resistance in the heat transfer process by forming the scale in the heat exchanger for refrigeration air conditioning. We want to check the performance through experiments. Therefore, by circulating the treated water using the principle of electrolysis without stopping the system, Ca, Mg and $SiO_2$ are precipitated in the form of solids and discharged to the outside of the pipe system, thereby preventing scale formation in the pipe and removing the scale. Thereby maintaining the heat transfer performance of the pipe. As a result of the experiment, the heat transfer rate of the scaled pipe was 86.66% when the heat transfer rate of the new pipe was 100, and the heat transfer rate was recovered to 90.5% when the scaled pipe was operated for 1 month. The heat transfer rate recovered to 97.86% when driving for two months and to 98.72% for three months. It was confirmed that the scaling effect of the scale formed in the piping was understood in a relatively short experiment period, and the heat transfer performance was also influenced.

The development of new energy has attracted consideration attention due to the high oil price and environmental problems. In advanced country, they have tried to carry out a long range plan for energy. We need to develop new energy for Low Carbon Green Growth in Korea. The building is 30% among ratio of energy consumption in Korea. And in the past, heating energy was high ratio for energy using at home. But recently, the demand for cooling energy keeps growing due to rising average temperature on the earth and improvement of life quality. In this situation, the energy of lake water and ocean water has studied to utilize in advanced country because of low temperature at underwater. But the study for deep water is still a lot left to do. In this study, we analyzed district cooling system and the present condition. Analyzing the deep lake water cooling system in Toronto, we found an application of district cooling system using deep ocean water. Deep lake water uses heat source for district cooling and water source for city in Toronto. So reducing the initial cost, this city had economic effect. When DLWC was applied at existing building, the heat exchanger was installed instead of cooling tower and refrigerator. And the heat exchanger used to connect main pipe with cool water on city. System using deep ocean water can be applied as a similar way to supply cool water from lake to building.

The effect of root-zone local cooling on seedling growth of tomato was investigated. Lower pipe cooling was used for local cooling of the root zone, and the root zone temperature was set at 20 and 25℃. There was no difference in plant height, root length, and leaf number according to local cooling temperature. Leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight, and chlorophyll content of the shoot and root was higher in the 25℃ than those of 20℃ at 28 DAS. These results showed that cooling for seedling growth of tomato 25℃ is sufficient considering energy efficiency. This study will be helpful in the development of local cooling technology that can reduce the energy required for cooling during the production of tomato seedlings in the high temperature season.

In this study, the experimental investigation and theoretical analysis were conducted to verify the cooling capacity of the cryocooler used for pre-cooling of hydrogen gas. The effect of the flow rate on a copper pipe attached to the bottom of the cryocooler, which has a coil shape in a hydrogen line, was investigated. Temperature sensors were strategically placed at various positions on the cryocooler to analyze the temperature variations with respect to the flow rate. In this study, the thermal properties of hydrogen for the pressure and temperature were utilized using REFPROP to analyze the cooling capacity of the cryocooler. Based on the experimental results derived from this study, the cooling capacity of the cryocooler for pre-cooling hydrogen gas was considered by calculating the cooling temperature according to the flow rate through theoretical analysis.
