Thermal convection between two horizontal walls kept at small amplitude nonuniform temperatures of the form, $T_L=T_1+a{\Delta}T$ sin kx and $T_U=T_2+b{\Delta}T\;sin(kx-{\beta})$ with a, $b{\ll}1$, is numerically investigated. When the Rayleigh number is small, an upright cell is formed between two walls at ${\beta}=0$; the cell is tilted at ${\beta}={\pi}/2$, and a flow with two-tier-structure cells occurs at ${\beta}={\pi}$. As the Rayleigh number is increased, Nusselt number increases smoothly for ${\beta}=0\;and\;{\pi}/2$, but increases rather steeply for ${\beta}={\pi}$ near the critical Rayleigh number ($Ra_c=1708$). When the wave number is small (k=0.5), multicellular convection occurs over one wave length, for all phase differences, and multiple solutions are found.

This study focuses on wave propagation analysis in the curved nanobeam exposed to different thermal loadings based on the Nonlocal Strain Gradient Theory (NSGT). Mechanical properties of the constitutive materials are assumed to be temperature-dependent and functionally graded. For modeling, the governing equations are derived using Hamilton's principle. Using the proposed model, the effects of small-scale, geometrical, and thermo-mechanical parameters on the dynamic behavior of the curved nanobeam are studied. A small-scale parameter, Z, is taken into account that collectively represents the strain gradient and the nonlocal parameters. When Z<1 or Z>1, the phase velocity decreases/increases, and the stiffness-softening/hardening phenomenon occurs in the curved nanobeam. Accordingly, the phase velocity depends more on the strain gradient parameter rather than the nonlocal parameter. As the arc angle increases, more variations in the phase velocity emerge in small wavenumbers. Furthermore, an increase of ∆T causes a decrease in the phase velocity, mostly in the case of uniform temperature rise rather than heat conduction. For verification, the results are compared with those available for the straight nanobeam in the previous studies. It is believed that the findings will be helpful for different applications of curved nanostructures used in nano-devices.

An analysis of the use of temperature profiles in the determination of the kinetic parameters of combustion synthesis of Ti5Si3 were investigated. From profile analysis, an apparent activation energy of 12KJ/mol was calculated. The Maximum heating rate achieved during 10wt% Ti5Si3 reaction by the product dilution method was approximately $1.5\times$104 K/s. Coupling this value with the measured wave velocity of 7.02 cm/s yields a maximum thermal gradient of 2.14$\times$103 K/cm. The value of tr (=t*) was calculated to be 1.2$\times$10-1 s and the value of td (=tx) was calculated to be 32.89 s. Using the definition of t* and the measured wave velocity, the effective thermal diffusivity, $\alpha$, was calculated to be 0.59$\times$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$/s. From these analysis, the power function, G, was also calculated.

The purpose of this study was to compare heat shading performance of various blind types in summer. 4 types of blinds were employed and the results are summarized as follows: 1) There were significant differences in indoor thermal environment and heat shading performance between different heat shading devices, and functional blinds demonstrated relatively superior heat shading performance. 2) Indoor long wave radiation influx measures were lowest for the coating roll blind (Blind B), followed by the coating venetian blind (Blind C), the venetian blind (Blind A), the roll blind, and not having any blinds at all. 3) Such examination results carry implications to reduce cooling load and enhance the indoor environment.

The purpose of this Study was to determine thermal sensation and physiological responses for men in winter indoor environment, under various air temperature and relative humidity, with male university students. Subjective Evaluation, Heart Rate Variability(HRV), Electroencephalogram(EEG) were examined. We found that comfort of people was achieved at 50% R.H., 24$^{\circ}C$, and the difference of skin temperature was found at the calf area as air temperature changes. At low air temperature and low humidity, heart rate was decreased, but there was no change at brain wave, keeping ${\alpha}$-wave.

고체내의 열에너지의 전달을 분석하기 위하여 고전적인 Fourier 열전도 법칙과 에너지 보존식에서 유도되는 열전도 방정식을 사용해 왔다. 이러한 열전도 방정식은 열전도가 무한한 속도로 진행된다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 그러나 극저온상태에서나 매우 급속한 열전도과정 중 매우 짧은 시간의 상태에서 non-Fourier 모델에 기초를 둔 쌍곡선형 열전도 방정식이 도입되었다. 최근의 이에 관한 연구에서 열전도가 파장의 형태로 유한한 전파속도를 갖는다는 것이 실험적으로 증명되었고 이로부터 여러 가지 실험적인 해석과 이론 해석이 전개되었다. 본 논문에서는 열전파 속도의 유한한 성질을 나타내는 수정된 열전도 법칙을 이용하여 1차원 평판에 대하여 공간에 대한 finite Fourier 변환 방법과 Green 함수 방법으로 해석하여 열전도파의 파동 성질, 공진 현상 및 위상차를 고찰하고자 한다. 열전도파가 갖는 모달 주파수에 대해 임계값을 갖으며 이 임계값을 초과할 때 공진 현상과 위상차를 고찰할 수 있었다.

Airframe-integrated Scramjet engines of NASA Langley type consist of a compressor, a combustion chamber and a nozzle. When some disturbances occur in one module of the engine, its influences are propagated to other modules. In this study, it is investigated numerically how shock waves were caused by thermal choking in one module propagate upstream and how they influence adjacent modules. The calculations are carried out in 2-dimensional supersonic viscous flow model using explicit TVD scheme in generalized coordinates. The adverse pressure gradient caused by heat addition brings about separation of the wall boundary layers and formation of the oblique shock wave that proceed to upstream. This moving shock wave formed one module blocks the flow coming into the adjacent modules, which makes the modules unstarted.

Interpretation of relevance between long-wave radiation and meteorological elements is recognized as an essential element for understanding the underlying mechanism of urban thermal environment formation. In this study, we analyzed relation between three elements : long-wave radiation, temperature, and lower-middle class cloudiness. The correlation was analyzed through field observations. The results are as follows. (1) Temperatures and long-wave radiation increased from January to March. This phenomenon has been confirmed in urban and suburban areas. (2) Long-wave radiations showed a tendency to increase clearly with increasing cloudiness.

This paper focuses on the thermal design of a signal processor in Micro-Wave Seeker. High temperature environment and ESS(Environmental Stress Screening) test condition should be considered in designing a signal processor. First, we performed the thermal analysis to know conditions under which a signal processor is thermally reliable. As a result of thermal analysis, we found that adopting heat transfer block to the thermally fragile components is most efficient, because the heat transfer block can control the thermal loads of the individual components. Next, we verified this solution by numerical simulation and experiment and concluded that thermal reliability of a signal processor can be achieved. Maximum temperature difference between numerical simulation and experiment is about $2^{\circ}C$.

Recent developments such as concern over global warming, depletion of fossil fuels and increase in energy demands by the increasing world population has eventually lead to mass production of electricity using renewable sources. Ocean contains energy in form of thermal energy and mechanical energy: thermal energy from solar radiation and mechanical energy from the waves and tides. The current paper looks at generating power using waves. The primary objective of the present study is to maximize the primary energy conversion (first stage conversion) of the base model by making some design changes. The model entire consisted of a numerical wave tank and the turbine section. The turbine section had three components; front guide nozzle, augmentation channel and the rear chamber. The augmentation channel further consisted of a front nozzle, rear nozzle and an internal fluid region representing the turbine housing. Different front guide nozzle configuration and rear chamber design were studied. As mentioned, a numerical wave tank was utilized to generate waves of desired properties and later the turbine section was integrated. The waves in the numerical wave tank were generated by a piston type wave maker which was located at the wave tank inlet. The inlet which was modeled as a plate wall which moved sinusoidally with the general function, $x=asin{\omega}t$. In addition to primary energy conversion, observation of flow characteristics, pressure and the velocity in the augmentation channel, rear chamber as well as the front guide nozzle are presented in the paper. The analysis was performed using the commercial code of the ANSYS-CFX. The base model recorded water power of 29.9 W. After making the changes, the best model obtained water power of 37.1 W which represents an increase of approximately 24% in water power and primary energy conversion.
