ASHRAE 표준을 참고로 하여 한국과학기술원(KAIST)에서 수정한 집열기 시험 장치의 주요부품 의 설계도면 및 Specification 등을 제시하였다. 또한 ASHRAE 표준 시험 절차를 재분석하고 KAIST에서 수정한 Test Loop를 시험하기 위한 실험절차의 개요도 설명하였다. ASHRAE 표준 상의 가장 중요한 실험인 (1) 집열기 시간 상수 실험과 (2) 수직에 가까운 입사각에 대한 효율 실 험 및 (3) 입사각 수정 계수 실험 등을 실제 태양 아래에서 실험하여 그 결과도 그림으로 제시하 였다. 본 연구를 통해서 얻은 결과로부터 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 한국 과학 기술원 에서 설계한 집열기 시험 장치는 ASHRAE의 표준 절차에 따라 액체 가열식 집열기의 열효율을 측정하기 위한 실용적 장치임을 알 수 있다. 일반적으로 ASHRAE 표준 93-77은 합리적인 절차 라고 할 수 있다. 그러나, 최소일사량 규정(즉 630W/m$^{2}$ 미만이 되어서는 안된다고 하는 ASHRAE 규정) 같은 것은 일사량이 적은 기후 조건하에서는 다소 하향 조정하여도 정확한 효율 곡선을 얻을 수 있다고 하겠다.

In order to development of a new wall structure type thermal diode for energy saving, the numerical studies have been performed for natural convection across an rectangular enclosure with the various lengthes of the heat source and sink plate. The governing equations for the two-dimensional, laminar, natural convection process in an enclosure are discretized by the control volume approach which insures the conservative characteristics to be satisfied in the calculation domain, and solved by a elliptic SIMPLE algorithm. The momentum and energy equations are coupled through the buoyancy term.

A solar air heater was designed for supplementary domestic heating. The absorber plate had a series of protruding notches which had triangular openings on the front surface of the absorber plate to direct partial air flow to the rear surface and to enhance the convective heat transfer to the flowing air. The height of the opening as well as the opening configuration was determined by preceding numerical simulations. The experimental model had an absorber plate of 0.78-m width and 1.0-m length which was coated with black paint. The air temperature increased as much as $18^{\circ}C$ for $90-m^3/h$ flow rate when the absorber plate was inclined by $45^{\circ}$ for a clear-day solar irradiation of about $906W/m^2$. The collector efficiency ranged from 69 to 74%. Considering the simplicity of the structure and low manufacturing cost, the solar air heater might have competence as an auxiliary heating device for domestic use. On-site experimental results are presented with discussion for various solar irradiations and air flow conditions.

In this study, the optimal design of heat exchangers, including the evaporator and condenser of a solar-heating ocean thermal energy conversion (SH-OTEC), is investigated. The power output of the SH-OTEC is assumed to be 100 kW, and the SH-OTEC uses the working fluid of R134a and high-performance commercial tubes. The surface heat transfer area and the pressure drop were strongly dependent on the number of tubes, as well as the number of tube passes. To solve the reciprocal tendency between the heat transfer area and pressure drop with respect to the number of tubes, as well as the number of tube passes, a genetic algorithm (GA) with two objective functions of the heat transfer area (the capital cost) and operating cost (pressure drop) was used. Optimal results delineated the feasible regions of heat transfer area and operating cost with respect to the pertinent number of tubes and tube passes. Pareto fronts of the evaporator and condenser obtained from multi-objective GA provides designers or investors with a wide range of optimal solutions so that they can select projects suitable for their financial resources. In addition, the surface heat transfer area of the condenser took up a much higher percentage of the total heat transfer area of the SH-OTEC than that of the evaporator.

In conventional heat and vent dryer, both sensible and latent heat could not be recovered from the exhaust air, but this problem could be solved by introducing a heat pump to a conventional dryer, having a connection with cooling, dehumidifying and heating of heat pump. In this work, HFC134a as a substitute refrigerant of CFC12 adopted in heat pump and a batch type is also introduced. The variables affected on the system performance are holding temperature of a drying chamber, bypass air ratio, degree of superheat and refrigerant flowrate, etc. The moisture contents were decreased curvilinearly in the range of $86{\sim}75%$ on the wet basis. Under the constant drying temperature, the face velocity plays an important role to the drying performance. The COPs are increased in accordance with the air velocity, on the other hand the SMERs are gradually decreased.

A theoretical and experimental study was conducted in order to design highly efficient solar air heaters using porous material. Radiative characteristics of glass windows and porous absorbing media were correlated through spectral transmittances measured by the UV-Visible and the FT-IR spectrometers. Using those characteristics the efficiencies of collectors were numerically calculated with the use of the two-flux radiation model. Based on the theoretical results, an experimental solar collector was designed and constructed. Experimental results under various conditions show that the daily efficiencies are over 60% in general and agree well with the theoretically calculated ones.

일반형 자동차 내장부품은 외부가 플라스틱 사출 성형한 형태로 사용되지만, 고급 차종은 내장재의 미감이나 질감을 위하여 사출물 표면에 엠보싱 무늬가 형성된 표피재가 수지에 추가로 부착되어 제작된다. 부착하는 방법은 한 장비에서 저압 사출 후 플라스틱이 완전 응고 전에 표피재를 넣고 압입하는 저압 사출법과 표피재 수지를 기 사출된 제품위에 놓고 압착시키는 압착법이 있으나 이 두 방법 모두 엠보싱 무늬가 형성된 표피재를 넣고 작업하기 때문에 고온 압착시 기존 무늬가 찌그러지고 코너 부위가 경화되어 기존의 질감을 얻지 못하며, 치수 공차가 변형되어 불량률이 증가하므로 이를 시급히 개선할 새로운 제조 기술의 필요성이 대두된다. 본 연구는 가열 압착기로 지그 및 금형을 새로 개발하여 도어 트림 제조시, 기 사출물을 금형 쪽으로 기 조직을 삽입한 후 엠보싱 무늬가 없는 원소재 표피재로 상부 금형 쪽으로 소재조직을 진공으로 흡입하여 무늬를 성형한 후 하강시켜, 기 사출물에 압착시키는 가열 압착으로 엠보싱무늬의 손상을 방지하는 금형을 제안하였으며 그에 대한 해석, 설계, 실험을 통하여 성능을 평가 분석 하였다.

The purpose of this research was to study the characteristics of heat transfer of snow removing facilities using heat pipe by experimental method. Heat pipes was constructed a flexible tube connected between evaporator and condenser ends for altitude adjustment of evaporator and it was constituted an internal diameter of 25.4mm, a length of 950mm for heating section and a length of 6000mm for condenser section with copper material for closed system. The results showed that the effect of heat transfer was increased when inclination angle and inlet temperature of heating water increased. Wall temperature response by inclined angle $4.5^{\circ}c-9^{\circ}c$ and working fluid amount 0.96 from to 1.3 times of evaporator volume were better than those of other working fluid and angle.

This paper presents the thermal hydraulic performance of a three dimensional rib-roughened solar air heater (SAH) duct with the one principal wall subjected to uniform heat flux. The SAH duct has aspect ratio of 12.0 and the Reynolds number ranges from 2000 to 12000. The roughness has relative rib height of 0.045, ratio of dimple depth to print diameter of 0.5 and rib pitch ratio of 8.0. The flow attack angle is varied from $35^{\circ}$ to $70^{\circ}$. Various turbulent flow models are used for the heat transfer and fluid flow analysis and their results are compared with the experimental results for smooth surfaces. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results based on the renormalization k-epsilon model are in better outcomes compared with the experimental data. This model is used to calculate heat transfer and fluid flow in SAH duct with the compound roughness of V-shaped ribs and dimples. The overall thermal performance based on equal pumping power is found to be the highest (2.18) for flow attack angle of $55^{\circ}$. The thermo-hydraulic performance for V-pattern shaped ribs combined with dimple ribs is higher than that for dimple rib shape and V-pattern rib shape air duct.

The present paper deals with two types of heating methods widely used for the Radiant Floor heating systems in Korea. Of these, one method circulates hot water according to the predefined schedule ("intermittent heating") while the other runs the system with the aid of thermostats ("continuous heating"). The standard version of SERI-RES has been modified for the numerical simulation of the problem. Preliminary results show relatively large temperature swings in the case of intermittent heating with solar availability. On the other hand, the case of continuous heating would avoid such undesirable temperature fluctuations. These results are also verified by experimental evaluations.
