The performance of heat exchanger as an energy conversion device can be described by the available energy output and efficiency. The efficiency is defined as the ratio of the available energy output and the exergy of the heat source flow. In present study, a counterflow heat exchanger is analyzed and the conditions to obtain maximum output is numerically determined. As a result, the avilable energy obtained by the cold flow can be determined as functions of the heat capacity flow, the cold flow inlet temperature and the heat transfer capacity of heat exchanger. At the maximum output condition the heat capacity flow of the cold fluid is larger than that of the heat source, and the heat capacity flow ratio is equal to the ratio of the cold flow inlet temperature and the atmospheric temperature. And the avilable energy output increases as the heat transfer capacity of the heat exchanger become larger, but in the economic point of view there is also an optimum heat transfer capacity for a given heat source flow.

This paper reports the generation efficiency and the thermal performance of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) harvesting energy from the waste heat of high power electronic components. A thermoelectric (TE) model containing thermal boundary resistances is used to predict generation efficiency and junction temperature of a high power electronic component. The predicted results are verified with measured values, and the discrepancy between prediction and measurement is seen to be moderate. The verified TE model predicts generation efficiencies, junction temperatures of the component, and temperature differences across a TEG at various source heat flows associated with various electrical load resistances. This study explores effects of the load resistance on the generation efficiency, the temperature difference across a TEG, and the junction temperature.

Thermal displacement is an important issue in machine tool systems. During the last several decades, thermal error compensation technology has significantly reduced thermal distortion error; this success has been attributed to the development of a precise, robust thermal error model. A major advantage of using the thermal error model is instant compensation for the control variables during the modeling process. However, successful application of thermal error modeling requires correct determination of the temperature sensor placement. In this paper, a procedure for predicting thermal-mode-based thermal error is introduced. Based on this thermal analysis, temperature sensors were positioned for multiple heat-source models. The performance of the sensors based on thermal-mode error analysis, was compared with conventional methods through simulation and experiments, for the case of a slide table in a transient state. Our results show that for predicting thermal error the proposed thermal model is more accurate than the conventional model.

본 논문은 터널에서 화재 발생 시, 시간에 따른 연기거동에 대해 실물실험과 3차원 수치해석을 수행하고 각각의 결과를 비교,검토하였다. 실물실험을 위하여 8.8 kW의 열원과 901iter/h의 연기 발생이 가능한 연기발생장치를 자체 제작하였으며, 대상터널은 길이 570m, 단면적 $64.6m^2,$ 그리고 약 $2\%$의 구배를 가지고 있다. 실험은 외풍의 영향을 줄이기 위해 터널 입,출구에 차단막을 설치하였으며 연기발생장치로부터 20m 간격의 위치에서 20초 간격으로 연기전파, 속도 그리고 온도를 측정하였다. 연기는 60초 경과 후, 연기발생장치로부터 20m 떨어진 위치에 도달하였으며 140초, 180초 및 260초 경과 후, 각각 40m, 60m 및 80m 위치에 도달하였다. 3차원 수치해석의 결과는 터널벽면을 매끈한 표면으로 처리하였을 때, $26.3\~49.5\%$정도 과대 예측하였다. 또한 터널벽면을 일정 조도를 갖는 거친 표면으로 처리한 경우는 $-2.7\~17.6\%$ 오차로 실험결과에 보다 근접하는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 터널 내 연기거동에 대한 3차원 수치해석을 수행할 때에는 벽면조도에 대한 고려가 필요하리라 판단된다.

A conflict of interest is usually defined as a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgments or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest. In general, a conflict of interest can be classified as either a financial or a non-financial one. A financial conflict of interest reportedly occurs frequently in medical (and psychiatric) research and practice and is associated with a greater likelihood of reporting results favorable to the intervention being studied. A non-financial conflict of interest may occur in psychiatric research and practice as a result of the so-called "allegiance effect." It is very important that clinicians and researchers in the field of psychiatry be aware that their field is vulnerable to both financial and non-financial conflicts of interest. Considering that it is impossible in modern psychiatry to be completely free from possible conflicts of interest, the best way to manage a conflict of interest is disclosure based on the principles of transparency. Actions that might lead to conflicts of interest should be avoided as much as possible.

The heat transfer analysis applying finite element method has been carried out. Particularly, the convection boundary condition associated with the mixed boundary condition is numerically formulated by the Galerkin method analogous to the magnetic field problem. Also, the coupled electromagnet-thermal field analysis by the proposed heat transfer coefficient computation algorithm is executed to enhance the accuracy of solutions. Finally, the validity of the proposed results is verified by comparison with the measured ones.

태양열 제습냉방은 액체흡수제를 이용한 냉각효과로 기존의 전기에너지를 가능케 하는 해결책중 하나이다. 따라서 태양열을 거의 활용하지 않는 여름에 가열온수를 열원으로 활용하여 쾌적조건을 구현하는 본 연구의 대상인 태양열냉방시스템은 제습기와 재생기로 크게 이루어져 있다. 본 논문은 제습기의 유량 변화에 따른 열전달 및 물질전달의 변화를 실험과 이론적 해석으로 규명하고 있는데, 흐름의 양상은 병렬형과 대향류형을 대상으로 하고 있다. 실험결과와 이론해석이 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, 대향류형이 병렬형보다도 물질전달 면에서 유리하게 나타났으며, 입 출구의 엔탈피 차이에서도 크서 열전달에서도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 그 차이를 본 논문에서는 나타내었으며, 일정한 높이나 길이 이상에서는 항상 일정함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문의 결과들은 제습기의 유동흐름을 통한 태양열냉방시스템 중 제습기의 설계 및 성능 향상에 도움을 줄 것이다.

축열 공조방식 중 현재 가장 많이 보급되고 있는 방식은 빙축열 방식과 수축열 방식이다. 본래 축열식 공조는 열원 용량을 감소하고, 값싼 심야전력을 통해서 운전비용(running cost)의 절감을 목적으로 하지만, 열을 저장하기 위한 "축열조"가 필요하므로, 필연적으로 초기투자비(intial cost)의 증가를 동반하며, 기존의 건물에는 쉽게 적용할 수 없는 등의 문제점이 있다. 따라서 축열을 위한 초기비용을 증가시키지 않는 축열식 공조방식으로서 건축물 자체가 가지는 높은 열용량에 착안하여 구조체 축열에 관한 연구가 최근 활성화되고 있다. 구조체 축열은 건축물 그 자체를 축열 매체로 이용하기 때문에 별도의 축열조가 필요 없고, 구조체 로부터의 "복사"형태로 거주영역에 직접적으로 작용하여 실내의 온열환경을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이 때문에 2차측 공조기의 용량을 절감시킬 수 있고, 축열 부위에서의 열반송이 필요없는 등, 구조체 축열 시스템은 기존의 빙축열과 수축열 방식에서는 없는 여러가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 구조체 축열 공조시스템은 기존의 공조시스템 중에서 급기구 부위만을 변경하여 주간에서 종래의 공조시스템과 같이 실내로 공조 공기를 급기하고, 야간에는 급기구에 설치된 댐퍼를 조절하여 천정면으로 공조 공기를 급기함으로써 구조체에 열을 축열시키는 방안이다. 본 시스템은 기존의 설비시스템을 이용하여 건축물의 구조체를 축열, 공조개시전 및 주간의 부하를 대폭 줄임으로써 에너지를 절감시킬 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 따라서 구조체 축열 공조시스템은 "지구환경 유지.전력부하 평준화.안전성.에너지 절약.비용절감.쾌적성"의 모든 조건을 만족시키는 유력한 차세대 공조 방식이 될 것으로 판단되며, 본 보에서는 공기순환형 구조체 축열시스템을 소개하고자 한다.

As a unutilized energy, treated sewage water locates widespread near urban areas. From the previous survey, the sewage water is reported to hold energy potential up to 36,000 Tcal/year, which was 2.1% of the total domestic energy consumption and 9.7% of the energy usage in the household and business sector in 2006. Temperature of the sewage water differs locally, but its range is observed in a range of $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ in summer and $8{\sim}13^{\circ}C$ in winter. Since the temperature range of the sewage water has a better seasonal distribution about $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ compared to ambient air, it is a promising heat sink for summer or heat source for winter. The sewage water is also a high quality heat source from its abundant quantity and uniform temperature. Considering the ambient temperature of Korea is very low in winter, a heat pump system using the sewage water can be an alternative to prevent problems of capacity deficiency and frost formation.

In this study, the improvement of cooling capacity by applying gas injection technique in a two-stage heat pump using R410A was experimentally investigated. A twin rotary type compressor with gas injection was applied to the heat pump system. The optimum refrigerant charge for the injection and the non-injection cycles was selected to achieve the maximum COP at the cooling standard condition. The injection cycle showed less optimum refrigerant charge than that of the non-injection cycle. The cooling performances of the injection and the non-injection cycles were measured and compared by varying compressor frequency from 40 to 90 Hz. The cooling capacity of the gas injection cycle was 1.6% -11.3% higher than that of the non-injection cycle. The COP of the gas injection cycle was 13.7% to 28.9% higher than that of the non-injection cycle at the same cooling capacity. The heat pump system showed stable operation after 30% of the injection valve opening.
