The H-bridge inverter is the fundamental power cell of the cascaded distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM). Thus, cell reliability is important to the compensation performance and stability of the overall system. The concept of the power electronics building block (PEBB) is an ideal solution for the power cell design. In this paper, an H-bridge inverter-based “plug and play” HPEBB is introduced into the main circuit and the controller to improve the compensation performance and reliability of the device. The section that discusses the main circuit primarily emphasizes the design of electrical parameters, physical structure, and thermal dissipation. The section that presents the controller part focuses on the principle of complex programmable logic device -based universal controller This section also analyzes typical reliability and anti-interference issues. The function and reliability of HPEBB are verified by experiments that are conducted on an HPEBB test-bed and on a 10 kV/± 10 Mvar DSTATCOM industrial prototype.

In high temperature aircraft electronics, aluminium based brazing filler is the prime choice today. Aluminium and its alloys have compatible properties like weight minimization, thermal conductivity, heat dissipation, high temperature precipitation hardening etc. suitable for the aerospace industry. However, the selection of brazing filler for high temperature electronics requires high temperature joint strength properties which is crucial for the aerospace. Thus the selection of proper brazing alloy material, the composition and brazing method play an important role in deciding the final reliability of aircraft electronic components. The composition of these aluminium alloys dependent on the addition of the various elements in the aluminium matrix. The complex shapes of aluminium structures like enclosures, heat dissipaters, chassis for electronic circuitry, in avionics are designed from numerous individual components and joined thereafter. In various aircraft applications, the poor strength caused by the casting and shrinkage defects is undesirable. In this report the effect of various additional elements on Al based alloys and brazing fillers have been discussed.

In this study, the geometry consists of a two-dimensional rectangular enclosure with localized heating from below. The size and the location of the heater on the floor has been varied, and one of the vertical walls remains at a low temperature simulating a cold window. The governing equations for momentum, energy and continuity, which are coupled with turbulent equations have been solved using a finite volume method. A low Reynolds number $k-{\varepsilon}$ model has been incorporated to solve the turbulent kinetic energy and the dissipation rate. The heat transfer characteristics and the thermal environmental characteristics of the room have been obtained for various system parameters in a room with a partially heated floor.

Surface modification of vertically-aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) is essential in order to meet specific demands for particular applications such as field emission displays, heat dissipation device and potential sun energy conversion due to their superior electrical and thermal conductivity and strong light absorption. In this study, we observe the effect of exposure to water vapor on a different lengths of the surfaces of VACNT. The study was conducted on three different lengths of the VACNT: short length around $200{\mu}m$, medium-length around $500{\mu}m$, and high length around 1 mm. Water exposure time ranges between 2-10 min and temperature of the water ranges from 60 to 120 oC. The result of water vapor exposure mainly show that increasing the exposure time and water temperature give rise to increase of the speed of change on the surface of the VACNT. Especially, the shorter VACNT change their surface morphology most rapidly.

I address the issue of nonthermal processes in the large scale structure of the universe. After reviewing the properties of cosmic shocks and their role as particle accelerators, I discuss the main observational results, from radio to $\gamma$-ray and describe the processes that are thought be responsible for the observed nonthermal emissions. Finally, I emphasize the important role of $\gamma$-ray astronomy for the progress in the field. Non detections at these photon energies have already allowed us important conclusions. Future observations will tell us more about the physics of the intracluster medium, shocks dissipation and CR acceleration.

Tank track rubbers, which undergo dynamic stresses and strains under various road conditions, leads to a result of considerable internal temperature rise due to the heat generation. Since rubber materials are not fully elastic, a part of the mechanical energy is converted into heat because of the hysteresis loss. Heat generation without adequate heat dissipation leads to heat build-up, i.e. internal temperature rise which, if excessive, exerts a bad influence upon the performance and the life of the tank track rubbers. The purpose of this paper is to predict temperature distributions of the rubber components off tank track subjected to complex dynamic loads under various read conditions. In steady state analysis temperature fields are displayed in contour shapes, and in unsteady analysis the temperature variations of some important nodes are represented graphically with respect to the running time of the tank.

Main component of radiography barrier aprons is lead. To manufacture a lead-free barrier sheath, barium sulfate and organic iodine-based chemicals should be mixed with rubber. Barrier capacity was tested in the medical field. To improve adaptation of rubber with the mixture, raw materials went through milling, agitation, and extruding processes. Three sheaths were manufactured with 30%, 80%, and 120% sulfate barium, respectively. This study found 10% lower barrier capacity of lead-free barrier than the traditional lead-containing rubber sheath. Problems, however, were confronted during the agitation and extruding processes. Mixing with rubber was a technically demanding job. Inconsistent depth, problems with thermal processing and dissipation were encountered as well.

Turbulent temperature field in a channel subject to strong wall injection has been investigated via direct numerical simulation technique. These flows are pertinent to internal flows inside hybrid rocket motors. A simplified model problem where a regression process at the propellant surface is idealized by wall injection has been investigated to understand how the temperature field is modified. The effect of strong wall injection displaces thermal boundary layer away from the wall and this causes a sharp drop of friction temperature. Turbulent diffusivity and dissipation time scale for temperature field are found to show large variations in the streamwise direction under application of wall blowing. It is, thus, expected that more sophisticated turbulence models would be required to predict the disturbed temperature field accurately.

Reynolds equation, which describes behavior of fluid film in journal bearings, basically satisfies mass conservation. But, boundary conditions usually used with this equation, e.g. half Sommerfeld or Reynolds boundary conditions, cannot fulfill this natural law of conservation. In the case of connecting rod bearing, where applied load is dynamic and its magnitude is relatively large, such unrealistic boundary conditions have serious influence on calculation results, especially on lubricant flow rate or power disspation which are important parameters in thermal analysis. In this paper, mass-conserving boundary condition was applied in the finite element analysis of connecting rod bearings. Lubricant flow rate and power dissipation rate were calculated together with journal center locus, minimum film thickness and maxmium film pressure. These computation results were compared with those of the case of Reynolds boundary condition. Balance between inlet and outlet flow rate was well achieved in the case of mass-conserving boundary condition.
