This study investigates the thermal expansion characteristics of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene(HTPB) based solid propellants, focusing on batch-to-batch variability and accelerated aging effects. Coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) measurements were conducted using thermomechanical analyzer(TMA) on samples from different manufacturing batches and specimens aged at various temperatures for different durations. Results indicate variations in CTE values between batches, highlighting the significance of manufacturing process control. Accelerated aging experiments reveal minimal systematic changes in CTE, suggesting stability of thermal expansion properties under short-term thermal stress. The overall distribution of CTE values shows concentration within a specific range, indicating consistency in thermal expansion characteristics. These findings provide insights into the thermal behavior of HTPB-based solid propellants, contributing to improved missile design and lifecycle prediction models.

Cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) with a bandgap of ~1.7 eV is an attractive material for use as a wide-gap perovskite in tandem perovskite solar cells due to its single halide component, which is capable of inhibiting halide segregation. However, phase transition into a photo inactive δ-CsPbI3 at room temperature significantly hinders performance and stability. Thus, maintaining the photo-active phase is a key challenge because it determines the reliability of the tandem device. The dimethylammonium (DMA)-facilitated CsPbI3, widely used to fabricate CsPbI3, exhibits different phase transition behaviors than pure CsPbI3. Here, we experimentally investigated the phase behavior of DMA-facilitated CsPbI3 when exposed to external factors, such as heat and moisture. In DMA-facilitated CsPbI3 films, the phase transition involving degradation was observed to begin at a temperature of 150 °C and a relative humidity of 65 %, which is presumed to be related to the sublimation of DMA. Forming a closed system to inhibit the sublimation of DMA significantly improved the phase transition under the same conditions. These results indicate that management of DMA is a crucial factor in maintaining the photo-active phase and implies that when employing DMA designs are necessary to ensure phase stability in DMA-facilitated CsPbI3 devices.

In this study, corrosion fatigue crack propagation was investigated in pH buffer environment using the giga strength steel and its heat-affected zone, and the results were compared with theoretical model prediction. Also, the pure corrosion effect on fatigue crack propagation in a corrosive environment was compared with the modified Forman equation. As results, the average value of corrosion rate obtained as the ratio of the net corrosion-induced crack length to the total crack length under cyclic loading in the base metal and heat-affected zone under experimental loading conditions. These results exhibit a new theoretical method for corrosion fatigue crack propagation that predicts a purely corrosion effect on the behavior to be determined.

PURPOSES : Steel deck bridges are the preferred structural type for reducing dead load, and the use of thin-layer asphalt concrete with excellent adhesion to the steel deck and excellent deformation followability is increasing for bridge pavements. However, because these materials are constructed at a high temperature of 240 °C or higher to maintain high fluidity during construction, excessive thermal deformation and stress may be temporarily induced in the steel deck. Therefore, the stability of the structure must be assessed by considering the environmental conditions of the site during pavement construction. Herein, a method is presented for estimating the heat source equation, in which conduction and convection effects are removed using temperature measurement data, for modeling U-rib using plate elements. The validity of the study is assessed by deriving the equivalent heat source equation using the temperature data measured from the underside of the steel deck while constructing a 40-mm-thick goose asphalt concrete pavement layer on a 12-mm-thick steel deck. In addition, the practicality is verified by performing heat transfer and thermal stress analyses. METHODS : By comparing the temperature data measured during the construction of high-fluidity asphalt concrete with the results of repeated heat transfer numerical analysis, heat source data without field conduction and convection conditions are obtained. Subsequently, a heat source equation suitable for the heat source data is derived using the least-squares method. RESULTS : The results of the heat transfer analysis using the equivalent heat source equation calculated using the presented method are almost consistent with the measured temperature data. In addition, the behavioral characteristics of the structure that matches the behavior of the actual structure can be derived through thermal stress analysis, which considers heat conduction and convection to adjacent members. CONCLUSIONS : Even when the steel deck and U-rib member are modeled as plate elements, thermal effect analysis can be performed reasonably while considering field conditions.

In this study, when stem cell culture solution is used as a cosmetic ingredient, one of the most prominent problems is that the ingredients generally have low thermal stability. Therefore, in this study, in order to find out how the stem cell culture medium is heated or preserved at high temperature, the effect of various effects of stem cells on the various effects of the stem cells was investigated. Investigated. As a result of the experiment, the wound healing assay confirmed that the cell migration increased after 6 hours, and after 24 hours, it was confirmed that the cell mobility was increased and cell division was promoted, thereby being concentrated. As a result of investigating the amount of transdermal water loss by preparing a cosmetic product containing stem cell culture solution, it was confirmed that the culture solution addition group showed an improvement rate of 31% compared to the non-added group, thereby helping in skin wound recovery. As a result of this, it is considered that this point should be considered when the stem cell culture medium is used as an active ingredient in cosmetics in the future.

The effect of flow direction on heat transfer in water cooling channel of lithium-ion battery is numerically investigated. Battery Design StudioⓇ software is used for modeling electro-chemical heat generation in the battery and the conjugated heat transfer is analyzed with the commercial package STAR-CCM+. The result shows that the maximum temperature and temperature difference of battery with Type 1 are the lowest because the heat transfer in the entrance region near the electrode is enhanced. As the inlet velocity is increased, the maximum temperature and temperature difference of battery decreases but the pressure loss increases. The pressure loss in Type 2 channel is the lowest due to the shortest channel length, while the pressure loss with Type 3 or 4 channel is the highest because of the longest channel length. Considering heat transfer performance and pressure loss, Type 1 is the best cooling channel.

We investigate the effects of Yb2O3 and calcium aluminosilicate (CAS) glass as sintering additives on the sintering behavior of AlN. The AlN specimens are sintered at temperatures between 1700oC and 1900oC for 2 h in a nitrogen atmosphere. When the Yb2O3 content is low (within 3 wt.%), an isolated shape of secondary phase is observed at the AlN grain boundary. In contrast, when 3 wt.% Yb2O3 and 1 wt.% CAS glass are added, a continuous secondary phase is formed at the AlN grain boundary. The thermal conductivity decreases when the CAS glass is added, but the sintering density does not decrease. In particular, when 10 wt.% Yb2O3 and 1 wt.% CAS glass are added to AlN, the flexural strength is the highest, at 463 MPa. These results are considered to be influenced by changes in the microstructure of the secondary phase of AlN.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance factors such as type of working fluid, flow direction, arrangement and stage of loop thermosyphon heat exchanger for ESS battery container cooling. Pentane showed slightly better performance of the heat exchanger than R-134a as a working fluid. Driving the fan in the suction direction showed improved performance compared to the blowing direction. The two-stage heat exchanger increased the heat transfer rate by more than 30% at the same temperature difference compared to the single-stage heat exchanger. Also, the counterflow flow showed better performance than the parallel flow in the two-stage heat exchanger.

The effect of precipitation and dissolution of Si on the thermal diffusivity in the Al-Si alloy system is reported in this study and solution heat treatment followed by aging treatment is carried out to determine the effects of heat treatment on the thermal characteristics. The solution treatment is performed at 535 oC for 4 and 10 h and then the specimens are cooled by rapid quenching. The samples are aged at 300 oC for 4 h to precipitate Si solute. The addition of 9 wt% silicon contents makes the thermal diffusivity decrease from 78 to 74 mm/s2 in the cases of solid solution treated and quenched samples. After quenching and aging, the Si solute precipitates on the Al matrix and increases the thermal diffusivity compared with that after the quenched state. In particular, the increase of the thermal diffusivity is equal to 10 mm/s2 without relation to the Si contents in the Al-Si alloy, which seems to corresponded to solute amount of Si 1 wt% in the Al matrix.

선박 및 해양구조물에서 사용하고 있는 고강도 알루미늄 합금들은 스틸과 비교해서 많은 이점을 가지고 있다. 최근 고강도 알루미늄 합금들은 육상 및 해양에 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 특히, 특수목적 선박의 선체 외판구조에 많이 이용되고 있고, 교량 구조물에 사용되는 상자 구조물, 그리고 고정식 해양플랫폼의 상부구조에서 소비율이 증가하고 있다. 알루미늄 재료는 스틸보다 1/3의 중량 구성비를 통하여, 구성 중량을 줄이게 하여 연비 절감을 가능하게 한다. 일반적인 강구조물의 응력-변형률 관계와 비교하면, 용접가공에 따라 발생하는 열영향부의 존재로 인하여 상당히 다르게 나타난다. 왜냐하면, 강구조물과 비교하면 열전도율이 높아서, 열영향부(heat affected zone, HAZ)가 남아 있어 구조 강도 저하를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 MIG(Metal inert gas) 용접 때문에 발생하는 열영향부를 고려하고, 종방향 압축 하중에 대한 알루미늄 보강판의 좌굴 및 최종강도 특성을 분석하였다. MIG 용접에 따른 열영향부를 고려한 경우, 좌굴 및 최종강도 모두 감소하며, 열영향부의 범위가 15 mm부터 항복 이후 에너지 소실률이 크게 나타나며, 25 mm 이상부터는 그 차이가 크지 않다. 따라서, 알루미늄 합금재료를 적용한 보강판의 구조 거동을 파악하기 위해서는 열영향부 영향에 대한 검토 및 분석이 중요하다.

The relationship between the precipitation of secondary phase and the thermal properties of Al-4.5%Cu alloy (in wt.%) after various heat treatments has been studied. Solid solution treatment of alloy was performed at 808 K for 6 hours, followed by warm water quenching; then, the samples were aged in air at 473 K for different times. The thermal diffusivity of the Al-4.5%Cu alloy changed with the heat treatment conditions of the alloy at temperatures below 523 K. The as-quenched specimen had the lowest thermal diffusivity, and as the artificial aging time increased, the thermal diffusivity of the specimen increased in the temperature range between 298 and 523 K. For the specimen aged for five hours, the thermal conductivity was 12% higher than that of the as-quenched specimens at 298 K. It is confirmed that the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the Al-4.5%Cu alloy significantly depend on their thermal history at temperatures below 523 K. The precipitation and dissolution of the Al2Cu phase were confirmed via DSC for the alloys, and the formation of coefficient of thermal expansion peaks in TMA was caused by precipitation. The precipitation of supersaturated solid solution of Al-4.5%Cu alloys had an additional linear expansion of ≈ 0.05 % at 643 K during thermal expansion measurement.

EMI(Electro Magnetic Interference) is a very important factor to consider in electronic equipment. For EMI coating, it is applied to the sputtering electronic equipment housing made by PEEK. The question arises that there may be physical changes in the PEEK material due to heat generated during sputtering. During sputtering inside the chamber, the degree of temperature due to the heat was measured indirectly, and characteristics such as bending capacity, tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength were measured to understand physical changes. Tensile strength and the flexural strength increased by 14.5 to 18 compared to the base group. And the impact strength of the un-notched specimens was increased. Overall, there has been no change in the physical properties of PEEK due to heat generated during sputtering deposition.

Ohmic heating is a heating method based on the principle when an electrical current passes through food. Since this method is internal, electrical current damage occurred during heating treatment. The results of ohmic heated starch’s external structure, X-ray diffraction, DSC analysis and RVA were differed from those of conventional heating at the same temperature. Several starches changed more rigid by structure re-aggregation. This change in starch was caused by change of physical, chemical, rheological property. The rheology of ohmic heated potato and corn starch of different heated methods were compared with chemically modified starch. After gelatinization, sample starch suspension (2%, 3%) measured flow curves by rheometer. Cross-linked chemically modified starch’s shear stress was decreased with degree of substitution reversibly. Ohmic heated more dramatic, at 60℃. Potato starch’s shear stress was less than commercial high cross-linked modified starch. Flow curves of potato starches measured at 4℃, 10℃, 20℃. Showed that Ohmic heated potato starch’s shear stress ranging between 4℃ and 20℃ was narrower than modified starch. According to this study, ohmic heated potato starch can be used by decreasing viscosity agent like cross-linked modified starch.

Thermal management is a critical issue for the development of high-performance electronic devices. In this paper, thermal conductivity values of mild steel and stainless steel(STS) are measured by light flash analysis(LFA) and dynamic thermal interface material(DynTIM) Tester. The shapes of samples for thermal property measurement are disc type with a diameter of 12.6 mm. For samples with different thickness, the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity are measured by LFA. For identical samples, the thermal resistance(Rth) and thermal conductivity are measured using a DynTIM Tester. The thermal conductivity of samples with different thicknesses, measured by LFA, show similar values in a range of 5 %. However, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester show widely scattered values according to the application of thermal grease. When we use the thermal grease to remove air gaps, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester is larger than that measured by LFA. But, when we did not use thermal grease, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester is smaller than that measured by LFA. For the DynTIM Tester results, we also find that the slope of the graph of thermal resistance vs. thickness is affected by the usage of thermal grease. From this, we are able to conclude that the wide scattering of thermal conductivity for samples measured with the DynTIM Tester is caused by the change of slope in the graph of thermal resistance-thickness.

In this study, ultrasonic spray pyrolysis combined with salt-assisted decomposition, a process that adds sodium nitrate (NaNO3) into a titanium precursor solution, is used to synthesize nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles. The added NaNO3 prevents the agglomeration of the primary nanoparticles in the pyrolysis process. The nanoparticles are obtained after a washing process, removing NaNO3 and NaF from the secondary particles, which consist of the salts and TiO2 nanoparticles. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the size, crystallographic characteristics, and bandgap energy of the synthesized nanoparticles are systematically investigated. The synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles have a size of approximately 2–10 nm a bandgap energy of 3.1–3.25 eV, depending on the synthetic temperature. These differences in properties affect the photocatalytic activities of the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles.

The effect of inclination angle and attack angle on heat transfer enhancement of trapezoidal vortex generator was numerically investigated. The commercial package STAR-CCM+ was utilized to analyze the heat transfer and flow characteristics with various inclination and attack angle of vortex generator. The result shows that the optimum inclination angles are α =30°~40° in terms of the heat transfer and pressure drop. At more than 40° of inclination angle, the transverse vortex is dominant, so that the pressure drop is severe and the heat transfer is reduced. As the attack angle is increased, the transverse vortex is reduced, so that the pressure drop is improved. The optimum attack angle is β =30° because the heat transfer performance is maintained. However, more than 30° of attack angle, the heat transfer is decreasing.

In this study, three kinds of bainitic steel plates are manufactured by varying the chemical compositions and their microstructures are analyzed. Tensile and Charpy impact tests are performed at room and low temperature to investigate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties. In addition, heat affected zone (HAZ) specimens are fabricated by a simulation of welding processes, and the HAZ microstructure is analyzed. The base steel that has the lowest carbon equivalent has the highest volume fraction of acicular ferrite and the lowest volume fraction of secondary phases, so the strength is the lowest and the elongation is the highest. The Mo steel has a higher volume fraction of granular bainite and more secondary phases than the base steel, so the strength is high and the elongation is low. The CrNi steel has the highest volume fraction of the secondary phases, so the strength is the highest and elongation is the lowest. The tensile properties of the steels, namely, strength and elongation, have a linear correlation with the volume fraction of secondary phases. The Mo steel has the lowest Charpy impact energy at -80 oC because of coarse granular bainite. In the Base-HAZ and Mo-HAZ specimens, the hardness increases as the volume fraction of martensite-austenite constituents increases. In the CrNi-HAZ specimen, however, hardness increases as the volume fraction of martensite and bainitic ferrite increases.
