The convective heat transfer coefficient, emissivity, and flame heat flux on the surface of Duglas fir are estimated by using repulsive particle swarm optimization. The surface temperature, mass loss rate, and ignition time are measured for various incident heat fluxes from a cone heater of the cone calorimeter. The calculated surface temperatures obtained by using the optimized convective heat transfer coefficient, emissivity and flame heat flux on the surface in this study match well with those obtained from the test. The maximum error between the predicted and measured surface temperatures for the three different external heat fluxes is within 2% showing reasonable agreements. The methodology proposed in this study can be used to obtain various values related to heat transfer on a flaming surface that are difficult to measure in experiments.

요업 소성로에서 내화재로 흡수된 에너지는 피가열물에 방사열로 작용하며, 이때 내화물의 방사율이 높을수록로내의 온도를 상승시켜 소비되는 연료가 절감된다. 따라서 내열성과 방사율이 높은 세라믹 내열도료를 개발하여 구성물의 결정 구조, 열적특성, 적외선 방사량 및 에너지 절감실험에 대한 데이터를 분석한 결과 높은 내열성과 적외선 방사량 증가에 따른 에너지 절감에 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Infrared emissivity is one of the most important factors for the temperature measurement by infrared thermography. Although the infrared emissivity of an object can be measured from the ratio of blackbody and the object, at room temperature it is practically difficult to measure the value due to the background effects. Hence, quantitative reflectance of bare steel plate and the surface of coating was measured by FT-IR spectroscopy and emissivity was calculated from this. The emissivity of polished bare steel surface was from 0.06 to 0.10 and the value for the unpolished bare steel can not be achieved because optical characteristics changes of surface roughness induces erroneous results. Emissivity of transparent paint coated steel was from 0.50 to 0.84. Depends on the IR absorption regions, which is a characteristic value of the coating, emissivity changes. This study suggests surface condition of material, thickness, roughness et cetra are important factor for IR optical characteristics. Emissivity measurement by reflection method is useful technique to be applied for metal and it with coating applied on the surface. The range of experimental errors of temperature can be narrowed by the application of infrared thermography from the measured thermal emissivity.

The emissivity is different because the emitted angle changes according to the position of the infrared thermography camera and object. Because of this, the temperature distribution expressed when measuring the temperature by using the infrared thermography system is not the accuracy temperature. Although the real surface temperature is constant, the temperature measured by using infrared thermography camera have error in accordance with the value of emissivity. In this paper, the temperatures of the round cylindrical object and the flat square object that heated to the equal temperature were measured by infrared thermography camera. The emissivity calibration formula and correction table are made with the affect of the view angle and emission angle form the surface temperature value. The error of measured temperature values are corrected by using the emissivity calibration formula and correction table, and apply to defect detection of the nuclear power plant pipe. From the calibration method, reliability surface temperature values were obtained.

채소류는 생리적인 특성상 수확후 저장 및 유통되는 동안에 호흡작용, 증산작용 등의 작용이 활발해질 뿐만 아니라 곰팡이를 비롯한 식물병이 미생물의 오염 및 성장으로 부패현상을 일으키고 채소류 자체의 경도가 저하되며, 수분, 비타민, 유기산, 당분, 색소함량 등이 떨어져서 외관, 맛 신선도 등의 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 채소류(오이, 호박, 방울토마토)의 선도를 연장하기 위한 저장조건을 실시하여 최적 습도 및 온도범위를 결정하였고, 이를 토대로 하여 시설채소산물을 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선 방사체 저장고(5~8$^{\circ}C$의 온도와 90% 습도유지)에 저장하면서 무처리구인 대조구와 비교하여 저장중 시료의 중량손실율, Ascorbic acid함량, 총균수(PCA사용법에 의거), pH의 변화를 측정하였고, 시료의 표면색도는 색도계(Minolta CR-300, Japan)를 사용하여 Hunter의 L, a, b값을 측정하였다. 이 결과, 채소류의 선도유지기간이 연장되는 것을 확인하였고, 중량손실율은 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장한 채소류가 중량손실율이 대조구에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 채소류를 저장함으로서 채소류의 수분손실을 방지할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 일정기간동안 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장함으로써 ascorbic acid함량의 감소를 대조구에 비하여 낮은 비율로 억제할 수 있었다. 총균수의 경우 채소류 시험구에서 원적외선 방사체 저장고에서 저장할수록 오염미생물의 총균수가 낮게 나타났다. 표면색도의 경우, a값은 모든 시험구에서 감소하였으며 원적외선 방사체 시험구에 비하여 대조구 저장시료의 표면색도가 청색도를 증가시키는 변화를 관찰할 수 있었고, b값은 시료간에 유의성 있는 차이없이 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 부패율은 수분 함유율이 높은 채소류일수록 원적외선 방사체 저장시설을 이용하는 경우, 부패율을 낮게 유지할 수 있었다. 따라서, 원적외선 방사체 저장시설내에 오이, 호박 및 방울토마토와 같은 채소류를 저온고습도상에서 저장할 경우, 채소류의 품질변화를 최소화 할 수 있어 갓 수확한 채소류의 선도유지기간을 연장할 수 있는 저장법이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Survivability of an aircraft has been greatly threatened by the development of a weapon system using infrared. Therefore, the infrared stealth technology is a very important technique to improve the survivability of an aircraft. In this study, the infrared signal of an aircraft was analyzed which corresponding to the aircraft surface temperature and environmental conditions with various surface conditions(especially emissivity changed). Based on the analyzed infrared signal, the optimized surface emissivity was suggested to reduce the average contrast radiance and contrast radiant intensity(CRI). In addition, we confirmed that the infrared contrast radiant intensity between the aircraft and the background can be minimized through an appropriately controlled surface emissivity of the aircraft at specific background.

Recently interests on the application of thermal cameras have increased with the advance of image analysis technology. Aside from a simple image acquisition, applications such as digital twin and thermal image management systems have gained popularity. To this end, we studied the effect of emissivity on the DN (Digital Number) value in the process of derivation of a relational expression for converting DN to an actual surface temperature. The DN value is a number representing the spectral band value of the thermal image, and is an important element constituting the thermal image data. However, the DN value is not a temperature value indicating the actual surface temperature, but a brightness value indicating high and low heat as brightness, and has a non-linear relationship with the actual surface temperature. The reliable relationship between DN and the actual surface temperature is critical for a thermal image processing. We tested the relationship between the actual surface temperature and the DN value of the thermal image, and then the radiation adjustment was performed to better estimate actual surface temperatures. As a result, the relation graph between the actual surface temperature and the DN value similarly show linear pattern with the relation graph between the radiation-controlled non-contact thermometer and the DN value. And the non-contact temperature after adjusting the emissivity was closer to the actual surface temperature than before adjusting the emissivity.

Survivability of soldiers has been greatly threatened by the development of thermal observation device(TOD). Therefore, infrared, especially thermal, stealth technology is applied to combat suit to avoid detection from TOD. In this study, prior to the thermal camouflage performance evaluation of combat suit, thermal signature characteristic from clothed the human body was analyzed considering the realistic condition for human surface temperature compared to that from unclothed human body. To get the realistic surface temperature distribution of human, thermoregulation and multi-layer skin structure model is applied to the human model. Based on temperature distribution, surface diffuse radiance in thermal range is calculated and by assuming the background conditions, contrast radiance intensity(CRI) characteristic of human body is analyzed. By wearing clothing, the CRI between background and human body became reduced in low emissive background but in high emissive background, the contrast is much more prominent. Therefore, this issue should be considered in design process of thermal camouflage combat suit.

Surface temperature of supersonic wind tunnel model was measured using an infrared thermography technique. To measure the temperature quantitatively, various calibration techniques such as blackbody calibration which converts detected camera signal to temperature, distortion correction due to the camera lens and an imbalance of camera pose, and emissivity calibration which considers viewing angles to the model surface, were employed. Throughout the study, for the quantitative as well as qualitative surface temperature measurement, it was verified that the distortion correction must be considered even for the use of two-dimensional model in aerodynamics testing.
