화석에너지에 대한 경제적 부담과 환경오염문제를 줄이기 위하여 열펌프의 성능계수향상을 위하여 냉온 공기열교환기(HEEVA)를 고안하였고, 이 열교환기의 열특성과 성능계수향상에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 냉.난방 실험을 수행하였다. HEEVA에 의한 찬 공기와 더운 공기의 온도변화, 전열량 및 냉온 공기열교환기 효율, 총열전달계수등을 측정분석하였고, 냉난방시 외기온에 따른 열펌프의 성능계수, 소비전력, 응축기.증발기 출구 공기토출 온도 변화를 측정 분석함으로서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 외기온이 -4~11$^{\circ}C$로 변할 때 열펌프의 난방과정에서 HEEVA 찬공기 입출구 온도차는 4.5$^{\circ}C$에서 9.$0^{\circ}C$로 증가하였으며, HEEVA에 의한 영향으로 2~6$^{\circ}C$상승된 공기가 증발기 입구로 유입되어 냉매증발을 촉진하였다. 2. 실온이 4~22$^{\circ}C$일 때 HEEVA 더운공기 입출구 온도차는 3$^{\circ}C$에서 7$^{\circ}C$로 증가하였으며, 응축기에 유입되는 공기온도를 3~8$^{\circ}C$낮게 함으로서 압축기 소모전력을 감소시켜 COP 상승 효과를 나타냈다. 3. 외기온과 실온변화에 따라 풍량 346m$^3$/hr의 찬 공기가 받은 열량과 풍량 747m$^3$/hr의 더운 공기가 준 열량간의 차는 50~150kcal/hr로 나타났으며, 더운 공기가 준열량과 찬 공기가 받은 열량의 비가 83~98% 이었으므로 HEEVA의 열 교환율은 91% 을 보였다. 4. 총합열전달계수는 이론값이 실험 값보다 1~3W/m$^2$K 크게 나타났으며, 이 결과는 두 값 사이에 10% 내.외의 편차로서 Nusselt수를 구하기 위한 Petukhov상관식의 자체오차 15%에 비해 크지 않은 오차범주에 속하며, 이론상의 총합열전달계수 유도식의 타당성을 입증한 것이라 하겠다. 5. HEEVA를 작동함으로서 난방시 COP가 HEEVA를 작동하지 않았을 경우보다 0.3~0.5 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 HEEVA가 겨울철 난방에 효율을 높일수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Internal heat exchanger (IHX) apparatus using the temperature difference between high and low pressure lines in vehicle air conditioning system is a good method to enhance the cooling performance. In this study, we designed various double-pipe internal heat exchangers which have inner fins between the internal pipe and external pipe. We also measured the performance characteristic (pressure drop, cooling capacity, compressor work and coefficient of performance (COP)) of the modified internal heat exchangers that had the change of the fin height and the inside shape of the internal pipe. This experimental results indicated that the liner and serration type internal heat exchanger was the best cooling performance. In addition, the air conditioning system with the liner and serration type internal heat exchanger showed the improved performances of about 6.4% and 9.2%, respectively, for the cooling capacity and COP.

In this research, the primary factors affected to the formation of lake current of surface layer and thermal stratification of temperate lake have been analyzed, the daily change of water temperature, relationship with lake current and the research about the elements of meteorological phenomenon have been implemented. As a result, the lake current of surface layer occurring while the period of thermal stratification is showing the proportional difference of water temperature, thermal exchange caused by this has been known as the main energy source, and this is, secondly, considering as the interaction of the wind driven current by the prevailing wind. On the other hand, during the night time when the water surface is cooled, and it is considering as the vertical convection is occurring than horizontal circumfluence. Also, there exists the water mass, which is circumfluent counterclockwise and clockwise direction separately. The prevailing md is rather affected to the moving direction and moving speed of water mass, but it doesn't affect to the whole flowing direction.

For drones to be used for industrial or agricultural applications, it is necessary to increase the payload and endurance. Currently, the payload and endurance are limited by the battery technology for electric powered drones. In addition, charging or replacing the batteries may not be a practical solution at the field that requires near continuous operation. In this paper, a procedure to optimize the power system of an electric hybrid drone that consists of an internal combustion engine, a generator, a battery, and electric motors is presented. The example drone for crop dusting is sized for easy transportation with a maximum takeoff weight of 200 kg. The two main rotors that are mechanically connected to the internal combustion engine provides most of the lift. The drone is controled by four electric motors that are driven by the generator. By analyzing the flow of the energy, a methodology to select the optimum propeller and motor among the commercially available models is described. Then, a procedure of finding the optimum operational condition along with the proper gear reduction ratios for the internal combustion engine based on the test data is presented.

Presence of ammonia in drinking water is very toxic to human health. Soluble ammonia contaminates ground water due to activities such as the use of fertilizer in crop, industrial effluents and burning of fossil fuel. Even low concentration of ammonia present in water will damage aqua environment such as marine organism. Membrane technology is an important process to remove ammonia from effectively from water. Flat sheet membrane, membrane contactor and membrane distillation are some of the methods used for water purification from ammonia. Membrane contractor is an efficient process in which ammonia is removed through liquid-gas or liquid-liquid mass transfer without change of phase unlike membrane distillation. However, the cost of ammonia removal in this method is high due to maintenance of very high pH. Zeolite has excellent ion exchange ability that enhances its ability to interact with ammonia and adsorb from wastewater. Mixed matrix membranes containing zeolite enhance the efficiency of ammonia adsorption and separation from wastewater. In this review the above discussed issues are summarized in detail.

Demand for lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is annually increasing due to its efficiency and safety for the environment in comparison to its current alternatives. Lithium can be found in different salty and brine lakes which later synthesized to produce LiOH for various applications. Different methods are used to separate and recover lithium ions, the most common of which is electrodialysis (ED). ED is a membrane-based separation technique which works on potential difference of its layers as a driving force to push ions from one side to another. The ion exchange membrane (IEM) in ED makes the process efficient because of the perm selectivity of different ions vary depending on their hydrodynamic volume. In this review, the different alteration strategies of both ED and IEM, to enhance the recovery of lithium ions are discussed.

In this paper, we implement a control system for an IoT-based backpack type vacuum cleaner using a smart device such as a smart phone or smart watch. The implementation system consists of control module produces, control module programming, and smart device programming. The control module is made of Arduino Nano, HM-10 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) module and relays as basic parts. The smart device exchanges signals with the control module via bi-directional BLE communication, which allows it to control the start/stop of the vacuum cleaner. Backpack type vacuum cleaners are effective for cleaning high places that require the use of ladders. However, it is often necessary to take off the backpack type cleaner to start/stop it. The IoT-based vacuum cleaner control system implemented in this paper fundamentally solves the problem by allowing users to control the start/stop of the vacuum cleaner without taking it off.

토양수분(soil moisture)은 수문인자의 하나로서 토양 내에 함유된 물의 양을 의미하며, 그 총량은 미미하지만 대기와 지표면 사이에서 일어나는 복잡한 물순환과 에너지 교환을 이해하는데 있어 필수적이다. 현재 국내에서는 「수자원의 조사·계획 및 관리에 관한 법률」(이하 수자원법)에 근거해 토양수분량 관측이 이루어지고 있으며, 수자원 분야의 한국수자원조사기술원 외에도 농업, 임업 분야에서도 다양한 기관에서 지상관측소를 구축해 토양수분량을 측정하고 있다. 국내 지상관측소에서는 주로 지점규모(point scale)로 토양수분량을 관측하는 장비가 사용되고 있으며, 유전율식 장비인 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry), FDR(Frequency Domain Reflectometry)이나 토양수분장력을 측정하는 장력계(Tensiometer)가 널리 쓰이고 있다. 수자원분야에서는 토양 내 수분의 양을 직관적으로 확인할 수 있는 유전율식 장비가 대중적으로 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 우주선(Cosmic-Ray)으로부터 발생하는 고속중성자(Fast Neutron)를 통해 중규모 면단위(field scale) 토양수분량을 관측하는 장비인 CRNP(Cosmic-Ray Neutron Probe)에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 장비는 주로 야외에 설치해 운영하고 있기 때문에 장비 훼손이나 전원공급의 어려움으로 결측이나 오측이 발생할 수 있다. 토양수분량 시계열자료의 결측이나 오측이 일반적인 감쇄기에 발생했다면 선형보간법으로도 간단히 보간할 수 있지만, 강우에 의한 상승기에 발생했다면 해당 강우사상에서의 토양수분량의 상한치를 알기 어려워 결측보간에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 토양수분량 시계열자료의 강우기간 결측을 보간하는 방법으로 누적분포함수 역변환 샘플링방법을 선택하였다. 연구에는 음성군(차곡리) 토양수분량 관측소 2021년 자료가 사용되었으며, 관측소 56개 지점 중 임의의 지점에 결측구간을 생성한 뒤 해당 지점과의 상관계수가 높은 지점의 누적분포함수를 이용해 역변환 샘플링 방식으로 임의 지점의 결측을 보간하고 그 결과를 기존값과 비교해 보간 방법의 정확도를 평가하였다.

The smart grid system has emerged to maximize energy efficiency through real-time information exchange between power providers and consumers by combining information technology and power supply systems. The authentication schemes using blockchain in a smart grid system have been proposed, which utilize an edge server's architecture to collect and store electric power-related information and process data between a central cloud server and smart grid-IoT devices. Although authentication schemes are being proposed to enhance security in the smart grid environment, many vulnerabilities are still reported. This paper presents a new mutual authentication scheme to guarantee users' privacy and anonymity in a smart grid based on edge computing using blockchain. In the proposed scheme, we use the smart contract for the key management's efficiency, such as updating and discarding key materials. Finally, we prove that the proposed scheme not only securely establishes a session key between the smart grid-IoT device of the user and the edge server but also guarantees anonymity.

Surface energy and $CO_2$ fluxes have been measured over a farmland in Haenam, Korea since July 2002. Eddy covariance technique, which is the only direct flux measurement method, was employed to quantitatively understand the interaction between the farmland ecosystem and the atmospheric boundary layer. Maintenance of eddy covariance system was the main concern during the early stage of measurement to minimize gaps and uncertainties in the dataset. Half-hourly averaged $CO_2$ concentration showed distinct diurnal and seasonal variations, which were closely related to changes in net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of $CO_2$. Daytime maximum $CO_2$ uptake was about -1.0 mg $CO_2$ m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ in August whereas nighttime $CO_2$ release was up to 0.3 mg $CO_2$ m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ during the summer. Both daytime $CO_2$ uptake and nighttime release decreased gradually with season. During the winter season, NEE was from near zero to 0.05 mg $CO_2$ m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ . FK site was a moderate sink of atmospheric $CO_2$ until September with daily NEE of 22 g $CO_2$ m$^{-2}$ d$^{-1}$ . In October, it became a weak source of $CO_2$ with an emission rate of 2 g $CO_2$ m$^{-2}$ d$^{-1}$ . Long-term flux measurements will continue at FK site to further investigate inter-annual variability in NEE. to better understand these exchange mechanism and in-depth analysis, process-level field experiments and intensive short-term intercomparisons are also expected to be followed.
