In VLM-ST process, the fine detailed shape processing process is needed due to the use of thick sheets for layers. The developed process perform the fine detailed shape processing in VLM-ST parts using non-contact hot tool. To predict the heat-affected zone and temperature distribution of VLM-ST parts in detailed shaping, the heat flux from the tool to the surface was calculated for the finite element analysis by modeling the tool as a heat source of radiation. The dominant process parameters such as the radiated heat input, the tool speed, and the gap between the tool tip and the foam sheet (tool height) were considered in the analysis. The results showed a good agreement with the experiments.

A polymeric waveguide TE-pass polarier operating at wavelengths around 1.55.mu.m is realized by utilizing the birefringence induced by photoleaching at room temperature. To implement the polarizer, the photobleached waveguide supporting only TE mode is integrated in the middle of the etched rib waveguide that supports TE and TM modes. It has a simple structure and requires no high temperature process like poling. The measured polarization extinction ratio is about 21dB and the estimted excess loss is about 0.4dB.

The effect of borehole thermal resistance on the borehole length is studied. In performing this work a new concept BLRR(borehole length reduction rate) is developed based on the line source model. The solution of line source model is shown to be valid through the comparison with the data of thermal response test. It is shown that BLRR is a function of soil thermal conductivity(k) and borehole thermal resistance($R_b$). The value of BLRR increases with increasing k, which means reducing $R_b$ is more effective when k is high. The reduction of borehole length with change of $R_b$ is easily estimated with BLRR. The validity of BLRR is also examined with EED analysis.

Ground source heat pump system can achieve high efficiency of performance by utilizing annually constant underground temperature to provide heat source for space heating and cooling. Generally, the depth of constant-temperature zone under the ground depends on surface heat flux and soil properties. The deeper the ground heat exchanger is installed, the higher the heat exchange rate can be acquired. However, in order to optimally design the system, it is necessary to consider both the installation cost and the system performance. In this study, performance analysis of ground source heat pump system according to the depth has been conducted through the case study.

For economic evaluation of cooling plant equipments, it is necessary to simplify energy Prediction method, which should includes efficiency corrected by part-load ratio. This study proposed simplified method with regression equations of time-average partial loads and refrigerator capacity. DOE-2 Program was used to carry out a parametric study of twelve design variables. Five input variables were considered to be significant and were used in the regression equations. To test accuracy of simplified method, calculated results were compared with DOE-2 simulated results. Test result showes a good agreement with the simulation result with an error of 5.9∼7.6%. It is expected that this method can be used as an easy prediction tool for comparing energy use of different cooling plants during the early design stage.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics (COP) of the heat pump system for various operating conditions with the use of seawater heat source and exhaust energy. To accomplish the goal, first of all, the computer simulation for heat pump system is carried out. The heat pump system model is made of a waste heat recovery system and a vapor compression refrigeration system, and the working fluid is R-22. The model calculated the change of COP with the variation of temperature and flow rate. The COP and the plate heat exchanger (PHE) area of the heat pump system are considered moderately high in the condensation temperature of $25^{\circ}^C$ and the evaporation temperature of $2^{\circ}^C$ in indoor culture system. The simulation results will be used effectively for the design and the performance prediction of heat pump system using unused energy in a land base aquaculture system.

Desiccant based air conditioning system offers a promising alternative to conventional one using vapour compression refrigeration for energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction. It is a heat driven cycle which has high potential for the use of low grade heat source such as the waste heat from the cogeneration plant or the solar thermal energy. In this study, the cooling performance of a desiccant cooling system incorporating a regenerative evaporative cooler was characterized in various operation conditions through numerical simulation. The cooling capacity and COP were evaluated at various outdoor conditions, regeneration temperatures, and supply flow rates. Based on the performance characteristics, the optimal control scheme was discussed to minimize the cooling cost at part load condition.

The performance of a heat pump using river water as a heat source was compared with that of a conventional air-conditioner for cooling and a boiler system for heating. The heat pump system using river water considered the 1-stage cycle for cooling and the 2-stage cycle for heating. The COPs of the river water source heat pump were $0.5{\sim}1.1$ higher than those of the conventional system in the cooling season. The LCC of the river water source heat pump system was lower 13.5% and 32.4% than that of the conventional system I and II. In addition, when the initial cost ratios of the river water source heat pump system to the conventional system I and II were less than 1.2 and 1.4, respectively, an acceptable payback was found to be less than 5 years.

HVAC&R system costs can often be one of the most expensive components, representing approximately 15% of the total construction cost for office buildings. Despite their significant importance, there is a lack of a consistent and homogeneous framework to approximate the estimate research. This research deals with the prediction methodology of HVAC&R system cost with the aim of establishing a common idea for the analysis of the construction cost estimate. Our approach deals with the concept of an HVAC&R set that is composed of subsystems. The matrix combination analysis is examined, and total 960 HVAC&R system cost estimation can be implemented to large scale office buildings.
