Predicting building energy use can be useful to evaluate its energy performance. This study proposed empirical approach for predicting building energy use with regression analysis. For the empirical analysis, simple regression models were developed based on the historical energy consumption data as a function of daily outside temperature, the predicting equations were derived for different operational modes and day types, then the equations were applied for predicting energy use in a building. BY selecting a real building as a case study, the feasibilities of the empirical approach for predicting building energy use were examined. The results showed that empirical approach with regression analysis was fairly reliable by demonstrating prediction accuracy of $pm10%$ compared with the actual energy consumption data. It was also verified that the prediction by regression models could be simple and fairly accurate. Thus, it is anticipated that the empirical approach will be useful and reliable tool for many purposes: retrofit savings analysis by estimating energy usage in an existing building or the diagnosis of the building operational problems with real time analysis.

Experimental and numerical analysis were performed to investigate the heat transfer phenomena during phase change. N-octadecane were used as a phase change material and TRUMP computer code was used as a numerical tool. Also, two quarter segment of cylinder shape was chosen as a vessel to simulate to this research. The major contribution factor on the solidus surface movement was environmental temperature and the effect of roller gap and material initial temperature were insignificant. Experimental and numerical results were generally in good agreement and the effect of the mesh size ($22{\times}22$ and $33{\times}33$) was negligible.

This paper proposes a new method for detecting broken rotor bars in a squirrel-cage induction motor. The air-gap flux variation analysis was done using search coils inserted in stator slots when broken rotor bar occurs. An accurate modeling and analysis of air-gap flux variation in the induction motor are developed using finite-element (FE) software packages, and measurement of the flux are made using search coils. The simulation was done for the induction motor with 380 [V], 7.5 [kW], 4 Poles, 1,760 [rpm] ratings using the commercial FE analysis tool. The simulation and experiment results can be useful for detecting the broken rotor bar of an induction motor.

This paper presents results of the finite-element(FE) analysis and experiment of air-gap flux variation in induction motor when rotor eccentricity vibration conditions occur. An accurate modeling and analysis of rotor vibration in the machine are developed using commercial FE analysis tool and search coils are used for measuring the actual air-gap flux. In the FE analysis and experiment, the induction motor with 380[V], 5[HP], 4r, 1742[rpm] ratings is used. The simulation and experimental results can be useful for rotor vibration monitoring of the induction motor.

In this article, a UV sensor that is an appropriate tool for fire detection has been designed and constructed. The structure of this UV sensor is an air-filled single-wire detector that is able to operate under normal air condition. A reflective CsI photocathode is installed at the end of the sensor chamber to generate photoelectrons in the ion chamber. An electric current is produced by accelerating photoelectrons to the anode in the electric field. The detector is able to measure the intensity of the incident UV rays whenever the current is sufficiently high. Therefore, the sensitivity coefficient of this sensor is found to be $7.67{\times}10^{-6}V/photons/sec$.

수치제어(Numerical control)의 개념은 1800년대부터 시작되었다. 프랑스의 Joseph Jacquard는 1801년에 구멍을 낸 카드(Perforated cards)를 이용하여 베틀기계에 직물의 모양을 Design하는데 자동적으로 Control 하는 방법을 창조해냈다. 그 후 구멍을 낸 카드를 이용하여 페달을 밟아 얻어진 공기를 Air motor와 Valve 를 조정하므로서 자동적으로 Piano를 연주하게 하는 방법도 역시 수치제어다. 이 NC의 개념이 실제 공작기계 에 적용된 것은 제2차 대전후의 일이다. 미공군(US Air force)에서는 복잡한 형상의 항공기부품가공과 그것을 검사할 검사용 Gauge를 고정밀도로 효율있게 제작할 필요성이 절실해졌다. 미국 Michigan주 Traverse시에 있던 Parsons회사도 Helicopter의 Rotor blade의 윤곽을 정확하게 검사하는 Plate gauge를 가공할 수 있는 기계를 개발하고 있었으며 그 회사의 사장 John T. Parsons씨는 Jig boringmachine을 전자적으로 제어하는 Plate gauge를 가공하는 방법을 미공군에 제안을 하였다. 1948년 미공군에서는 설계번경이 수없이 일어나는 Missile 의 부품을 단시간 내로 제작하기 위해서 Persons사와 기술계약을 맺고 새로운 공작기계 개발에 착수하므로서 NC공작기계 연구를 시작한 역사적인 시발점이 되었다.

A panoramic-PIV system has been constructed for the analysis of the airflows in a room. Smoke is used as seeding particles and are visualized by a pulsed laser (Nd-Yag, 120 mJ). Panoramic images have been obtained by an image composition process using the two images obtained by the two cameras $(1k\times1k)$ that are viewing the wide measurement areas. Velocity vector fields have been obtained by the grey-level cross-correlation PIV method. Three room models $(L{\times}W{\times}H[mm^3],\;500\times500\times250,\;350\times350\times175,\;250\times250\times125)$ have been tested. The experimental results have proven that the constructed panoramic-PIV system can be used as a useful tool for analyzing the airflow characteristics in the room models.

The characteristics of flow pattern transitions in a horizontal cocurrent gas-liquid flow have been investigated by means of a statistical analysis of instantaneous pressure drop curves at an orifice. The dimensionless intensity of pressure drop fluctuation shows a sudden change during the course of flow transitions, indicating that it may be a good measure to identify the flow regime transitions. The probability density function of the curves feature a unique pattern depending upon the flow regimes and the statistical properties of the PDF also have particular ranges for each flow regime. In conclusion, the statistical analysis of instantaneous pressure drops may be a powerful tool for predicting the flow regime transitions.

In the present study, the performance of a floating oscillating water column (OWC) device has been studied in regular waves. The OWC model has the shape of a hollow cylinder. The linear potential theory is assumed, and a matched eigenfunction expansion method(MEEM) is applied for solving the diffraction and radiation problems. The radiation problem involves the radiation of waves by the heaving motion of a floating OWC device and the oscillating pressure in the air chamber. The characteristics of the exciting forces, hydrodynamic forces, flow rate, air pressure in the chamber, and heave motion response are investigated with various system parameters, such as the inner radius, draft of an OWC, and turbine constant. The efficiency of a floating OWC device is estimated in connection with the extracted wave power and capture width. Specifically, the piston-mode resonance in an internal fluid region plays an important role in the performance of a floating OWC device, along with the heave motion resonance. The developed prediction tool will help determine the various design parameters affecting the performance of a floating OWC device in waves.
