Steady flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in the stenotic tubes with various stenotic shapes are numerically simulated. Validity of the modified power-law model as a constitutive equation for the purely viscous non-Newtonian fluid is discussed and the results of the power-law model are compared with those of the Carreau model, the Powell-Eyring model and experimental data for blood. Flow characteristics and reattachment lengths for non-Newtonian fluids in the stenotic tubes are presented extensively. Also, the analysis is extended to predict the influences of diameter ratio, stenosis spacing, number of stenosis and Reynolds number on the flow characteristics in the multiple stenotic tubes.

Numerical analysis of the laminar natural convection in an enclosure of the 20KVA oil-immeresed transformer is presented. The core in the transformer is modelled as a rectangular cylinder and calculation is carried out for $Ra=10^3-10^6$. The correlating equation between the inner cylinder mean Nusselt numbers and Rayleigh numbers can be obtained. The conduction and convection regimes for the variation of Rayleigh numbers are well represented in the temperature distributions along the side wall of the inner cylinder. For high Rayleigh numbers, it is found that the recirculating flow in the enclosure above the inner cylinder is divided into two recirculation regions.

Condensing gas boiler units may make a big role for the reduction of energy consumption in heating industries. In order to decrease the energy consumption of a boiler unit, the effective operation is necessary. In this study, the supply water temperature algorithm of a condensing gas boiler was developed. This includes the setpoint algorithm and the control algorithm of the supply water temperature. The setpoint algorithm was developed by the fuzzy logic and the control algorithm was developed by the proportional integral algorithm. In order to analyse the performance of the supply water temperature algorithm, the dynamic model of a condensing gas boiler system was used. Simulation results showed that the supply water temperature algorithm developed for this study may be practically applied for the control of the condensing gas boiler.

DMFC(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) is one of promising candidates for power sources of small mobile IT devices like notebook, cell phone, and so on. Efficient operation of fuel cell system is very important for long-sustained power supply because of limited fuel tank size. It is necessary to investigate operation characteristics of fuel cell stack for optimal control of DMFC system. The generated voltage was modeled according to various operating condition; methanol concentration, stack temperature, and load current. It is inevitable for methanol solution at anode to cross over to cathode through MEA(membrane electrode assembly), which reduces the system efficiency and increases fuel consumption. In this study, optimal operation conditions are proposed by analyzing stack performance model, cross-over phenomenon, and system efficiency.

Car HVAC is one of main factors influencing a potential customer's first impression. It should be fault-free, which requires the most stable control performance. So, the control algorithm consists of a proportional feedback only, not with an integral action needed for elimination of steady-state errors. To reduce the errors and make the response faster, feedforward algorithm based on predicted thermal load is added. To evaluate the performance, car HVAC is dynamically modelled and its control logic is simulated. The results shows that the proportional feedback leads to about $4^{\circ}C$ of steady-state error. When the feedback is combined with the feedforward algorithm and with a set value update based on disturbances, it predicts less than $1^{\circ}C$ of control error and improved thermal comfort.

Energy demand characteristics of hotel, hospital, and office building are compared to provide guidelines for combining building in community energy system design. The annual, monthly, and daily energy demand patterns for electricity, heating, hot water and cooling are qualitatively compared and important features are delineated based on the energy demand models. Key statistical values such as the mean, the maximum are also provided. Important features of the hourly demand patterns are summarized for weekdays and weekends. Substantial variations in both magnitudes and patterns are observed among the 3 building types and smart grouping or combination of building type and size is essential for a successive energy supply.

환경부가 발표한 21세기 대기환경관리 정책방향에서도 사업장의 대기오염 물질 관리강화를 포함시키고 있어, 이제 바야흐로 우리 나라도 사업장에 대한 과학적인 대기 환경관리 정책이 요구되고 있다. 그러나, 현재 대기확산예측 평가분야는 아직 국내기술이 미약하고, 사용되는 소프트웨어는 미국환경보호청에서 추천하는 모델을 사용하므로, 국내 실정에 맞는 데이터를 적용하기에 많은 인력과 시간을 소모해야 했다. 본 프로그램은 기존의 포트란으로 프로그램 된 소프트웨어보다 비주얼한 환경에 중점을 두고 C++언어로 프로그램 하였다. 또한, 국내 실정에 맞는 데이터를 사용하여 적은 비용과 짧은 시간 내에 대기확산예측을 할 수 있다.

Recently, many high elevation fountain are constructed for the beauty of beach landscape. Typically, a fountain has several nozzles that shoots water upwards or at an angle into the air. But unfortunately, the weather and wind can cause the water soak nearby walkways and pedestrians. Therefore, in this study, a mathematical model of high elevation fountain is suggested to predict the actual travelling distance of water droplet by the wind. To simplify our treatment of the water flow and to avoid issues such as fluid dynamics and surface tension, we have adopted a particle model for the fountain water. The particles are assumed not to interact with each other, and do not deform during their flight through air.

Researches on the FRF-based substructuring method have been mainly focused on vibratory response analysis. Present study Is concerned about the application of the method to the dynamic stress analysis of a air-conditioner compressor mounting bracket in a passenger car. This is performed by using reaction forces that can be obtained by the FRF-based substructuring method. The air-conditioner system, composed of a compressor and bracket, Is analyzed by using the FRF-based substructuring method. The experimental and numerical FRFs are combined to calculate the system responses and reaction forces at the connection point. The dynamic reaction forces plugged into the bracket FE model to compute the stresses of the bracket Dynamic strains by the present method are compared with those from strain-gage test for bracket system on shaker. The comparison shows possibility of practical usage of the method for the real problem
