This paper presents a method to investigate the characteristics of a ball bearing and the dynamics of a HDD spindle system due to temperature variation. Finite element model is developed for the rotating and stationary parts of a HDD spindle system separately to determine their thermal deformations by using ANSYS, a finite element program. Then, the relative position of the rotating part with respect to the stationary part is determined by solving the equilibrium equation of the contact force between upper and lower ball bearings. The validity of the proposed method is verified by comparing the theoretical natural frequencies of a HDD spindle system with the experimental ones before and after temperature variation. It shows that the elevated temperature results in the increase of contact angle and the decrease of bearing deformation, contact force and bearing stiffness, which result in the decrease of the natural frequencies of a HDD spindle system.

Very often, whether accidentally or intentionally set fire, according as building are elevated, varied or complicated day by day. It is of primary importance that we have a treatment of fire damaged structure. In general, strength and elasticity modulus of heated concrete are reduced. Product background of cement, sand and coarse aggregate differ from country to country, so that thermal behaviour of concrete make a difference in high temperature. To cope with demand, this paper is a study on relation to microstructure and strength reduction. In consequence of experiments, concrete exposed to high temperature are estimating the reduction of mechanical properties in comparison with microstructure characteristics which are abtained from the SEM/EDX, XRD and DSC-TG analysis of heated specimens under various temperature.

The operation characteristics of variable conductance heat pipe(VCHP) were numerically investigated by using 1-dimensional diffuse-front model. For different boundary conditions, the amount of non-condensible gas charge and dimension of gas reservoir were obtained by iterative calculation. It is found that the amount of non-condensible gas charge and dimensions of gas reservoir have an effect on the temperature control of condenser for the given operating condition of VCHP. The numerical results show that VCHP has an excellent capability of temperature control when subjected to a change in the heat input.

The purpose of this research is to study the characteristics of heat exchanger using heat pipe under various working conditions by a finite element analysis and experiment. The results are as follows. 1) In this study, h = $Max^B$ is used for the convective heat transfer coefficient and A = 2.761 and B = 0.701 $Mmax^{(-0.0626)}$ were obtained as the results of experiment. 2) For several different working conditions, (Q/Qb) is predicted by varying the values of L/Lt and Re/Rc. The maximum value of (Q/Qb) is achieved when Re/Rc = 1 and Le/Lc = 0.5. 3) The comparison between calculated value and experimental data showed agreement within 5% error. Therefore the method may be used to predict the performance of heat exchanger using heat pipe for similar geometric conditions. 4) For Re/Re/Rc of 0.2-0.3, the minimum thermal resistance exists when Le/Lt is 0.4-0.65.

The improvement of dimensional accuracy for forged part is one of major goals in cold forging industry. There are many problems in controlling the dimension by the trial-and-error, especially for a precision forged gear. A FEM analysis has been used in developing the forging technology. However, FE techniques have to be reconfirmed for predicting accurately the dimension of forged part. In this study, the effects of elastic characteristics and temperature changes are investigated by the comparisons between experimental and FEA in cold forging. When FE models related with elastic characteristics are considered practically, FE results could predict the part dimension within the range of $10\mu\textrm{m}$. And if thermal effects also are considered additionally, the predicted dimensions are well coincided with the experimental down to about $5\mu\textrm{m}$.

Polyirnide thin films were fabricated an using vapor deposition polymerization apparatus, and their FT-IR and TGA characteristics were investigated. The peaks of $720cm^{-1}$ and $1380cm^{-1}$ show C=O stretch mode and C-N stretch mode, and that of the cured polyimide at $300^{\circ}C$ were saturated. TGI(Thormogravi metric index) was showed at $459^{\circ}C$ from reaserch of thermal resistivity characteristics by TGA.

Building Integrated PV(BIPV) is one of the best fascinating PV application technologies. To apply PV module in building, various factors should be reflected such as installation position, shading, temperature, and so on. Especially a temperature should be considered, for it affects both electrical efficiency of a PV module and heating/cooling load in a building. It reports the effect of thermal characteristics of the PV module on generation performance. The study was performed by monitoring the temperature and experiment. The results showed that 1 degree temperature rise reduced about 0.48% of output power.

Water hammering in nuclear or thermal power plant condenser cooling water systems in mathematically modeled and numerically analyzed based on the method of characteristics. Effects of variations of the discharge valve operating condition and the system geometry on the hydraulic transients are investigated for the cases when all or one of four pumps are tripped accidently due to loss of offisite power. Effects of ocean waves and tides on the steady-state and the transient operations are also studied. Water column separation in taken into account whenever necessary by means of a simplified physical model.

This research investigates how characteristics of ball bearing affect non-repeatable runout(NRRO) in a HDD spindle system at elevated temperature. It shows that the elevated temperature results in the increase of bearing contact angle and the decrease of bearing deformation due to the different thermal expansion rate of the components of the HDD spindle system. The increase of contact angle at elevated temperature is so small that the variation of bearing frequencies is negligible. On the other hand, the decrease of bearing deformation at elevated temperature reduces the stiffness of ball bearing and the natural frequencies of HDD spindle system consequently, which changes the amplitude and the frequency distribution of NRRO.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate laminar convective heat transfer in a tube for supercritical water near the thermodynamic critical point. Fluid flow and heat transfer are strongly coupled due to large variations of thermodynamic and transport properties such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity near the critical point. Heat transfer characteristics in the developing region of the tube show transition behavior between liquid-like and gas-like phases with a peak in heat transfer coefficient distribution near the pseudocritical point. The peak of the heat transfer coefficient depends on pressure and wall heat flux rather than inlet temperature and Reynolds number, Results of the modeling provide convective heat transfer characteristics including velocity vectors, temperature, and the properties as well as the heat transfer coefficient. The effect of proximity to the critical point is considered and a heat transfer correlation is suggested for the peak of Nusselt number in the tube.
