The curing temperature is known to influence the rate of mechanical properties development of early age concrete. In realistic sites the temperature of concrete is not isothermal $20^{\circ}C$, so the paper measured adiabatic temperature increases of four different concretes to understand heat emission during hydration at early age. The temperature-matching curing schedule in accordance with adiabatic temperature increase is adopted to simulate the situation in real massive concrete. The specimens under temperature-matching curing are subjected to realistic temperature for first few days as well as adiabatic condition. The mechanical properties including compressive strength, splitting strength and modulus of elasticity of concretes cured under both temperature-matching curing and isothermal $20^{\circ}C$ curing are investigated. The results denote that comparing temperature-matching curing with isothermal $20^{\circ}C$ curing, the early age concretes mechanical properties are obviously improved, but the later mechanical properties of concretes with pure Portland and containing silica fume are decreased a little and still increased for concretes containing fly ash and slag. On this basement using an equivalent age approach evaluates mechanical properties of early age concrete in real structures, the model parameters are defined by the compressive strength test, and can predict the compressive strength, splitting strength and elasticity modulus through measuring or calculating by finite element method the concreted temperature at early age, and the method is valid, which is applied in a concrete wall for evaluation of crack risking.

In this study, numerical and experimental studies on the nozzle flow in a sub-scale cold flow test were conducted to simulate high altitude condition. In the theoretical calculation, the temperature of the nozzle outlet is calculated to be lower than the liquefaction point, and the fluid exists at the phase change point. Also, numerical analysis result is higher than theory calculation but lower than liquefaction temperature. As a result of cold flow test, it was confirmed that the temperature was much higher than theory and analysis. This is because it assumed that it is adiabatic in the theoretical calculation, but the experiment in the actual environment is not the adiabatic but the heat exchange with the outside exists.

This paper deals with the preliminary design conditions of Stirling Engines based on an adiabatic analysis with regenerator effectiveness. The investigation of thermal regeneration process results that the definition of effectiveness proposed by Urieli et al. is appropriate for the present model. Then, it is applied to the already existing approximate analytic solution for the adiabatic model in order to optimize thermal efficiency as well as work parameter. Results show that thermal efficiency is less sensitive to the variation in design parameters than work. Phase angle for the maximum work is also the most efficient at high values of the effectiveness. Swept volume ratio should be chosen with care. The optimum value of dead volume ratio is at least less than the maximum efficiency condition. The feasible design range in compression ratio lies between the maximum efficiency condition and the structural limit of Stilring Engines, where the higher its value, the better. Changes in the temperature ratio do not alter the design conditions. Working fluids with the specific heat ratio 1.67 are more efficient that those with 1.4.

This study describes data from determination of the optimum mix proportion and site application of the mass concrete placed in bottom slab and side wall having a large depth and section as main structures of LNG in-ground tank. This concrete requires low heat hydration, excellent balance between workability and consistency because concreting work of LNG in-ground tank is usually classified by under-pumping, adaptation of longer vertical and horizontal pumping line than ordinary pumping condition. For this purpose, low heat Portland cement and lime stone powder as cementitious materials are selected and design factors including unit cement and water content, water-binder ratio, fine aggregate ratio and adiabatic temperature rising are tested in the laboratory and batch plant. As experimental results, the optimum unit cement and water content are selected under $270kg/m^3$ and $l55{\~}l60 kg/m^3$ separately to control adiabatic temperature rising below $30^{\circ}C$ and to improve properties of the fresh and hardened concrete. Also, considering test results of the confined water ratio($\beta$p) and deformable coefficient(Ep), $30\%$ of lime stone powder by cement weight is selected as the optimum replacement ratio. After mix proportions of 5cases are tested and compared the adiabatic temperature rising($Q^{\infty}$, r), tensile and compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, teases satisfied with the required performances are chosen as the optimum mix design proportions of the side wall and bottom slab concrete. $Q^{\infty}$ and r are proved smaller than those of another project. Before application in the site, properties of the fresh concrete and actual mixing time by its ampere load are checked in the batch plant. Based on the results of this study, the optimum mix proportions of the massive concrete are applied successfully to the bottom slab and side wall in LNG in-ground tank.

The liquid desiccant air-conditioning system has been proposed as an alternative to the conventional vapor compression cooling systems to control air humidity. The complete system of liquid desiccant air-conditioning system is consisted two main components those are humidifier (regeneration) and dehumidifier. Humidifier part is connected to the load when summer season which is the air condition is hot and humid have to be turned into comfort condition on human. This paper purpose is performances study of air flow rate effect on a structured packed tower on cooling and dehumidifier system using liquid lithium chloride as the desiccant. Experimental apparatus used in this present study is consisted of three components those are load chamber, packed tower and chiller. Load chamber’s volume is $40m^3$, and packed tower dimension is cubic with length 0.4m occupied with packed column. Totally, 15 experimental has done using 5 times repeat on each variable of air velocity that varying on 2m/s, 3m/s and 4m/s with other conditions are controlled. Air inlet initial temperature and relative humidity are set respectively on $30^{\circ}C$ and 52%, desiccant flow rate is 0.63 kg/s, desiccant temperature is $10^{\circ}C$ and desiccant concentration is 0.4. The result of this study shows that averagely, the moisture removal rate and the heat transfer rate are influenced by the air velocity. Higher air velocity will increase the heat transfer and decreasing the moisture removal rate. At adiabatic condition the air velocity of 2 m/s respectively is having the higher moisture removal rate acceleration then the air velocity of 3m/s and 4 m/s until the steady state condition.

In this study, we evaluated an effect of the tempered materials on the thermal runaway characteristics in the resol resin synthesis reaction using the adiabatic calorimetry of vent sizing package 2(VSP2). The kinetic parameters, such as an activation energy and heat of reaction, were estimated using the test results. As the results, the instantaneous characteristics to express the intensity of runaway reaction decreased at the low solid content. However, the sudden loss of the tempered materials triggered the second runaway reaction rapidly. In this condition, the heat of reaction and the activation energy of phenol and p-formaldehyde were about 157 kJ/mol and 60 kJ/mol, respectively.

The adiabatic slirn-type autoclave reactor for free radical polymerization of LDPE is represented by a two-compartment four-cell model, which is proven effective to predict the reactor behavior as well as the polymer properties. Since the temperature distribution along the reactor axis plays the central role for the properties of the polymer product, it is important in practice to regulate the temperature in each compartment. The present study aims for the application of the adaptive control algorithm not only in the period of start-up but also during the steady state operation. It is shown that the temperature control is significantly improved over the conventional PID-control and this also brings about a reduction of variations in the polymer properties. This study demonstrates the potential application of the adaptive controller for the control of the polymerization reactor operated under the adiabatic condition.
