The purpose of this study is to propose a method for optimizing heat generation facilities to maximize revenue by investigating their operational status during times of maximum heat demand for district heating. Based on the derived result, this study also proposes a method for determining a given power plant's optimal equipment, such as combined heat and power plant(CHP), peak load boilers (PLB), heat accumulators, and so on, depending on heat demand and facility capacities. It also offers a guide for how to operate facilities more economically by considering the operational status of district heating companies.

Efficient energy use becomes necessary since energy consumption has dramatically been increasing due to continuous economic development and population growth. In particular, high efficient vacuum glazing needs to be introduced to buildings where enormous energy loss occurs through windows and has been rarely used yet due to its high price and performance. Therefore, in this study, torch for glass welding was developed with CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) and experiments. Torch shape, nozzle diameter, nozzle arrangement etc. were mainly optimized and hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas fuels the torch. Finally, glass welding with the developed torch has been successful, showing that it can be used to develop economic vacuum glazing.

Thermal properties of geomaterial are overlooked with other geomechanical properties. The transient line-source (TLS) method is one of the most used testing methods for measuring the thermal conductivity (K) and thermal diffusivity ($\alpha$) of materials. But more recently, Transient Plane-Source method was developed to measure these. It has several advantage of comparing with TSL method, but there has not been documented application in geomaterial. A Resistance Temperature Detector is used to construct sensor. For durability of Probe, Adopt a new technique that two probes are bonded in exact matching. For standard materials, such as glycerin, and ice the measured K and a values of these materials were generally within 2-5% from the standard values in the literature. This document present to evaluate the thermal properties of geomaterials and its application was tested for varying degree of saturation using the Transient Plane Source method. The result of this study suggests that it is an comparatively accurate method for simultaneously measuring thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity and can identify the feasibility to geomaterial.

Metal hydride올 이용하는 냉방시스템은 다른 냉방시스템과 비교하여 환경 친화적이며 Clean technology라는 장점이 있다. 이러한 시스템 중에 최근에 많은 연구가 진행중인 Electric Compressor로 수소의 이동이 제어되는 Compressor-Driven Metal Hydride Heat Pump(CDMHHP)은 폐열원의 온도에 의해 제어되는 시스템에 비하여 cooling power가 크다는 장점과 함께 단속적인 냉방이 아닌 2개의 함금쌍으로도 연속적인 냉방이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 CDMHHP system의 동작특성을 분석하기 위해서 2개의 반응관에 고용량과 solping 특성이 매우 우수한 $Zr_{0.9}Ti_{0.1}Cr_{0.55}Fe_{1.45}$ Laves phase metal hydride을 장입하여 시스템을 구성하고 cycle time, surrounding temperature, 장입 수소량, 수소이동량등의 동작조건을 최적화 한 결과 최대 cooling power가 251 kcal/kg-alloyh의 우수한 성능을 보였다.

Ground water source heat pumps are clean, energy-efficient and environment-friendly systems for cooling and heating. Although the initial cost of ground water source heat pump system is higher than that of air source, it is now widely accepted as an economical system since the installation cost can be returned within a short period of time due to its high efficiency. In a ground water source heat pump system, the variation of the ground water temperature is an important factor that influences the system performance. In this study, variation of the ground water temperature of a single well system is studied experimentally for various operating conditions. When ground water flow exists in the underground, the returned water exchanges heat efficiently with the ground and the temperature of the ground water remains nearly constant. Hence the short circuit problem is minimized. If an active flow of ground water flow exists in the underground, a singe well heat pumps system will be free of short circuit problem and can operate with high performance.

Energy saving has been main concern, thus government supporting policies which are based on Fundamentals of Low-carbon Green Growth Act', 'Green Building Support Act, have been prepared in Korea. The objective of this study is to estimate energy conservation effectiveness and economic advantage assuming that lighting equipments and heat source equipments would be retrofitted. Office building, which has total floor area of $30,000m^2$, was a subject of this study. From the estimations, electric rate will be decreased by 62,886,000 won per year due to lighting equipments retrofit, and gas rate will be decreased 11,141,000 won or 17,332,000 won per year due to heat source equipments retrofit (in case of COP 1.2 or 1.5). Payback period of each case that are calculated by energy saving cost and retrofit cost are estimated 27.9 year, 38.6 year and 29.2 year, thus economic supporting policies is necessary for effective energy saving in buildings. Meanwhile payback period of heat source equipment for new building is estimated 6.1 year and 8.3 year.

본 논문은 전자 패키징의 방열 성능을 개선하기 위하여 초소형 히트 파이프를 제작하고 열전달 성능을 시험한 결과를 보여준다. IC 칩이 점점 고성능화되고 고집적화되어 감에 따라 발열 문제가 대두되는데, 이 열은 전도만으로는 충분히 소산시킬 수 없고 패키징 표면에 별도의 장치를 장착하는 것은 시스템 소형화의 장애 요소가 된다. 따라서, 고성능 칩 개발을 위한 선결 과제로 고성능 초소형 냉각 장치가 요구되고 있다. 히트파이프는 밀봉된 파이프 내의 2상 유동과 상변화 잠열을 이용하여 열원으로부터 히트 싱크로 열을 효과적으로 전달하는 열교환 장치이다. 본 논문에서는 전자 패키징 내에 집적화할 수 있도록 초소형 히트 파이프 어레이를 제작하여 그 성능을 시험한 결과 증발부의 온도가 $12.1^{\circ}C$ 감소됨을 보인다.

A.T.S.의 스위칭 구조와 접점 환경은 주로 아크 전류, 접촉 저항, 아크 시간 등의 불리적 요인이 주로 마모와 특성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 사용되는 접점 재료는 W 또는 WC-Cu 계로 형상과 크기는 전형적인 반구형 구조의 접촉으로 구동이 이루어진다. 따라서 A.T.S.용 접점의 아크 마모 특성 시험을 위한 고려 요인은 이러한 점을 고려하여 시험과 분석이 이루어 졌다. 접점의 마모 특성 실험식으로부터 실제적인 관점에서 보면 제한된 수명을 나타내는 $n_L$을 보장하기 때문에 b<1의 경우가 가장 바람직한 결과로 ATS 접점 시편의 경우 $b{\fallingdotseq}0.99$로 안정된 접점 아크 마모 특성을 갖는 것으로 판단된다. 아크 전압에 대한 모델링과 실험에서 접점 간극 거리 1<0.1mm, 아크전류 i<100A의 시험 조건에 대해 검토한 결과 ATS 접점 시편의 아크전압은 $u_a=10.2V$로 계산되었다. 이 값은 설험적인 값과 상당히 접근하는 특성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 아크에 의한 마모를 억제하기 위해 첨가하는 WC 또는 W의 복합 소결로 인해 아크 에너지가 감소되는 것을 보여준다. 한편 접점의 아크 동작이 분리되는 순간의 동작 시험에서 기존 W(50%wt)-Cu(50%wt) 접점의 값과 비교하면 분리시 아크 전압은 상대적으로 낮아지는 현상은 W강화 첨가량의 증가로 인한 아크 에너지 감소의 제한성을 나타내는 것으로 사료된다.

Fe based SOFC(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) interconnector was fabricated by using the spark plasma sintering process and its microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated in this study. To fabricate the interconnector, the Fe-26Cr powder was mixed with the Ag (5, 10, 20wt.%) particles. In the Fe-26Cr-Ag sintered bodies, the Ag particles were almost dispersed at the grain boundary of the Fe-26Cr. The sintered bodies have the density of 87.2-97.5%, the density increases with increasing Ag content at sintering temperature of $850^{\circ}C$. Also, the compressive yield strength increases with increasing Ag content at the same sintering temperature.

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 ℃ for 4 and 10 h and then the specimens are cooled by rapid quenching. The samples are aged at 300 ℃ 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.
