Solid-liquid phase change (i.e. melting or solidification) occurs in a number of situations of practical interest. Some common examples include the melting of edible oil, metallurgical process such as casting and welding, and materials science applications such as crystal growth. Therefore, due to the practical importance of the subject, there have been a large number of experimental and numerical studies of problems involving phase change during the past few decades. Also, this study presented the effective way to enhance phase change heat transfer.

The process of squeeze casting for metal matrix composites (MMCs) has been simulated numerically by using finite difference method. The governing equations to describe fluid flow through porous medium and heat transfer are applied to two dimensional model which is similar to a real system. A computational code has been developed to solve this problem. The influence on infiltration kinetics and solidification time of several parameters is investigated. Cooling curves and temperature distribution with time and position is also shown. The result can be used to design the squeeze casting for MMCs.

In this study thermal stress generated in three ingot moulds(GC25) during the solidification process of aluminum were analyzed by the two-dimensional thermo-elasto-plastic theory. In temperature analysis, all of the three models are shown steep temperature rising each case in initial stage of cooling. In thermal stress analysis, all of three models took compressible stress on inside wall of the mould, and tensible along with on out side. Model 2 take place less compressible, tensible stress then model 1. But model 3. have similar as thermal stress as model 2. The analysis will made one possible to calculate an optimum mould shape whose thermal stress gradient becomes minimum.

A computer program has been developed for analyzing the two-dimensional unsteady conservation equations for transport phenomena in the ool region of direct rolling with semi-solid metal in order to describe the velocity and temperature, and the solidification process of the semi-solid metal. The energy equations of cooling roll is solved simultaneously with semi-solid metal in order consider heat transfer through the cooling roll. The FDM(finite difference method) and FEM(finite element method) are used in region of pool and roll, respsctively, to reduce computing time and to improve accuracy of calculation. In the present study, influence of solid fraction and casting speed are investigated in a point of view of strip formability with semi-solid metal.

Batch slurry experiments were conducted to develop cement/slag/Fe(II) system that could treat hazardous liquid wastes containing halogenated organic solvents. Portland cement in combination with Fe(II) was reported to reductively dechlorinate chlorinated organics in a modified solidification/stabilization process. TCE (trichloroethylene) was used a model halogenated organic solvent. The objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of using cement and steel converter slag amended with Fe(II) as a low cost abiotic reductive dechlorination and to investigate the kinetics of TCE dechlorination over a wide range of TCE concentration. From the result of screening experiments, cement/slag/Fe(II) system was identified as a potentially effective system to treat halogenated organic solvent. Kinetic studies were carried out to further investigate degradation reaction of TCE NAPL (Non Aqueous Phase Liquids) in cement/slag/Fe(II) systems by using batch slurry reactors. Degradation rate of TCE solution in this system can be explained by pseudo-first-order rate law because the prediction with the rate law is in good agreement with the observed data.

In the field of automobile industry, suspension parts have been fabricated by the light metal part to substitute the steel part. For application light metal of suspension parts, mechanical property of high strength was performed. For anting semi-solid die casting of suspension part, die filling and solidification simulation have been carried out with Ostwald-de Waele rheological model. We designed the optimal die and secured injection condition as possible as laminar flow based on the result of computer simulation. Mechanical properties of knuckle part and heat treatment condition were investigated.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of VIM/VAR/VAR-processed Ni-based Alloy718 ingot were investigated. Vacuum arc remelting(VAR) results in chill grain zone, columnar grain zone, and equi-axed grain zone in the ingot due to the difference in local solidification processes. Different grain structures of the remelting ingot result in the different hot workability for the given cogging conditions. Experimental results on microstructural inhomogeniety and material flow behavior under billet cogging conditions were presented, and their potential effects on the billet cogging process are discussed.

The dredged soils of rural streams can be treated with cement for recycling. It is very important to know whether the treated soils have achieved some required qualities for further treatments if the soils are mixed with cement. In this study, fall-cone test was used to examine changes in workability and compactibility during an curing time of soil-cement mixture. Test results showed that fall-cone apparatus can be satisfactorily used for this purpose. Although there was some difference of initial curing time and cement contents, the engineering properties of treated soils were little affected.

In order to improve the weak mechanical properties of cast Mg alloys, Mg-$Zn_1Y_2$ (at%) alloy powders were synthesized using gas atomization, a typical rapid solidification process. The powders consist of fine dendrite structures less than 3 ${\mu}m$ in arm spacing. In order to fabricate a bulk form, the Mg powders were compacted using magnetic pulse compaction (MPC) under various processing parameters of pressure and temperature. The effects of the processing parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties were systematically investigated.

Ash melting chamber is one of the key facility of the pyrolysis-melting incineration system, and it should be designed and operated very carefully for avoiding solidification of slag. In this study, an example of numerical and experimental scale-up process of the melting chamber, in which high speed air is injected to the molten slag and generates bubbles, which enhances agitation of the slag and char combustion, is presented. Cold flow test, combustion and melting test in a lab-scale (30 kg/hr) chamber and a pilot scale (200 kg/hr) chamber. Minimum energy for maintaining molten slag is derived, and it was found that the molten slag can be maintained efficiently by concentrating heat into the bubbling slag.
