1D-numerical analysis of the network algorithm with the orifice equation for the relationship between pressure difference and flowrate has been mostly used to analyse leakage flow at the gap. In this study, a 3D-numerical method applying momentum loss model to the gap region in the computational domain is represented to reflect effectively the effect of leakage flow by determining the proportion of pressure difference to air passage velocity. While the 3D-numerical method is verified through the computation of the two compartments model, the numerical analysis of the stack effect in a building stairway is performed. As the temperature of air outside drops, the pressure in the upper stairway and leakage flowrate through the gap in the door rise. The change of gap area does not have an effect on pressure in the stairway for the analysis conditions.

An axial-piston-type hydraulic motor involves friction and leakage losses at the sliding parts, contact loss at the mechanism assembly parts, volumetric loss caused by the pressure drop, housing oil churning loss and compressibility from the hydraulic oil pipe resistance, etc. the friction and volumetric loss at the hydrostatic bearing between the piston shoe and the swash plate rotating at high speed and having an oil film gap of 8-15 ${\mu}m$ strongly affects the total efficiency of the hydraulic motor. In this study, a variable swash-plate-type hydraulic piston motor operating under a maximum pressure of 35 MPa, maximum speed of 2,500 rpm, and displacement of 320 cc/rev is tested to verify the optimal ratio of the hydrostatic bearing which is closely related to the hydraulic motor performance.

Compressor radiated noise is one of the dominant noise for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Therefore, air conditioner makers are trying to reduce it continuously. Even though noise absorption and isolation technology are one of the important parts for reducing the noise from the compressor, it is usually treated to the substitute technology when the noise from the compressor is very difficult to reduce by the compressor noise control only. In this paper, we focus on the property of the sound insulation for the cabinet and measure it applying the theory of the sound transmission loss and insertion loss of the simple enclosure. The insertion loss is evaluated by the experiments according to the thickness and the aperture of the partition in the cabinet.

To investigate a method for calculation of the heating load for environmental designs of horticultural facilities, measurements of total heating load, infiltration rate, and floor heat flux in a large-scale plastic greenhouse were analyzed comparatively with the calculation results. Effects of ground heat exchange and infiltration loss on the greenhouse heating load were examined. The ranges of the indoor and outdoor temperatures were $13.3{\pm}1.2^{\circ}C$ and $-9.4{\sim}+7.2^{\circ}C$ respectively during the experimental period. It was confirmed that the outdoor temperatures were valid in the range of the design temperatures for the greenhouse heating design in Korea. Average infiltration rate of the experimental greenhouse measured by a gas tracer method was $0.245h^{-1}$. Applying a constant ventilation heat transfer coefficient to the covering area of the greenhouse was found to have a methodological problem in the case of various sizes of greenhouses. Thus, it was considered that the method of using the volume and the infiltration rate of greenhouses was reasonable for the infiltration loss. Floor heat flux measured in the center of the greenhouse tended to increase toward negative slightly according to the differences between indoor and outdoor temperature. By contrast, floor heat flux measured at the side of the greenhouse tended to increase greatly into plus according to the temperature differences. Based on the measured results, a new calculation method for ground heat exchange was developed by adopting the concept of heat loss through the perimeter of greenhouses. The developed method coincided closely with the experimental result. Average transmission heat loss was shown to be directly proportional to the differences between indoor and outdoor temperature, but the average overall heat transfer coefficient tended to decrease. Thus, in calculating the transmission heat loss, the overall heat transfer coefficient must be selected based on design conditions. The overall heat transfer coefficient of the experimental greenhouse averaged $2.73W{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}C^{-1}$, which represents a 60% heat savings rate compared with plastic greenhouses with a single covering. The total heating load included, transmission heat loss of 84.7~95.4%, infiltration loss of 4.4~9.5%, and ground heat exchange of -0.2~+6.3%. The transmission heat loss accounted for larger proportions in groups with low differences between indoor and outdoor temperature, whereas infiltration heat loss played the larger role in groups with high temperature differences. Ground heat exchange could either heighten or lessen the heating load, depending on the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. Therefore, the selection of a reference temperature difference is important. Since infiltration loss takes on greater importance than ground heat exchange, measures for lessening the infiltration loss are required to conserve energy.

The objective of the present study is to provide data needed to decide covering method to be able to increase the thermal insulation and light transmittance efficiency of commercial greenhouse. The thermal insulation effect, PPF transmittance and quantity of condensation water were estimated in experimental tomato greenhouses covered with three types of coverings of single layer, air inflated and conventional double layers covering. The overall heat flow of air inflated double layers greenhouse was similar to that of conventional double layers greenhouse, but the temperature between covering material and thermal screen in air inflated double layers greenhouse was lower than that in conventional double layers greenhouse at the same outside temperature condition due to air leakage through the gap of roof vent. The overall heat transfer coefficients acquired by experiment that was performed in single layer and conventional double layers greenhouses were close to those obtained from model experiment. Even though the PPF transmittance of air inflated double layers greenhouse was lower than that of single layer greenhouse, which was greater than that of conventional double layers greenhouse. The quantity of condensation water on covering surface of single layer greenhouse was greater than that of air inflated double layers greenhouse due to lower covering surface temperature.

In order to improve the efficiency of hydraulic gear pumps or motors especially for high operating pressure, power losses due to viscous friction and leak flow through gear teeth end-gaps are considered in this paper. Optimal gaps minimizing the power loss for pumps and motors with uniform heights of gaps are analysed first. And the effect of the shapes of gaps with unequal heights on the power loss are studied and discussed by simulation. Considering that the outer shell lacing gear teeth may expand due to high internal pressure or thermal stress, the results drawn in this paper can be used for the design of high efficiency pumps and motors.

This study was conducted to determine the sound paths and transmitted sound level in house. An air-conditioner system was selected a typical sound source. The measured transmission loss data shows that the apertures have an significant effect on the transmitted noise and comparable with the existing theoretical data. Therefore the complex aperture was substitute to quantitative apertures approximately. An effective simulation method, ray tracing and mirror image source method, was employed in the prediction of transmitted sound level. The measured results were efficiently reflected on the simulated results. So it is important that measuring the acoustic parameter prior to the prediction of the transmitted sound level in the house.

팁 간격의 크기가 냉각탑용 축류팬의 성능과 누설 유동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 서로 다른 2가지 팁 간격을 가진 경우에 대해서 점성유동을 해석하였다. 케이싱 내에서 작동하는 축류팬 주위의 유동을 연속방정식, Navier-Stokes 방정식 등을 지배방정식으로 사용하여 수치해석 하였다. 난류유동에 나타나는 레이놀즈 응력은 ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ 난류모델을 사용하여 계산하였다. 전체적으로 H형 격자계를 사용하였으며, 팁 주위의 유동을 해석하기 위해서 팁 영역 주위에 부분적으로 조밀한 격자를 두었다. 팁 간격이 증가하면 누설 유동의 증가로 인한 유동 손실의 증가로 전압상승과 수력효율이 감소하였다. 팬 직경에 대한 팁 간격이 0.4%에서 1.0%로 증가하면 전압상승 값이 약 10% 정도 감소하였으며, 수력효율은 약 3% 정도 감소하였다. 팁 간격이 팁 근처 날개 주위의 압력에 미치는 영향을 보면, 팁 간격이 증가하여 누설 유동이 증가하면 흡입면과 압력면의 압력차가 전연 부근에서 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 누설 와류의 중심은 코드를 따라서 흡입면으로 부터 떨어져 나가면서 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 누설 와류의 위치를 보면 팁 간격이 증가하면 와류 중심의 위치가 흡입면 쪽으로 이동하고, 흡입면에서 떨어진 거리도 날개 후반부에서 증가 폭이 커지는 포물선 형태로 증가함을 알 수 있었다.
