Owing to an increase in the air tightness of recent buildings, the natural ventilation rate was significantly lowered and the removal of accumulated moisture became difficult in these buildings. The hygrothermal performance of these buildings should be carefully considered to provide comfortable indoor environment by removing the moisture condensation risk and the mold growth potential. In this study, hygrothermal performance of two selected wall structures was investigated based on WUFI simulation program. The results displayed that the indoor temperature had impact on the moisture accumulation in the insulation layer for both modeled walls, showing that lower indoor temperature resulted in higher moisture accumulation, especially in the wood frame structure. Also, the yearly moisture accumulation profile exhibited a downward shift throughout the year by adding a vapour retarder with a lower sd-value. In addition, both of the two walls have condensation risk in winter, due to low temperature level. The wood frame structure has a bigger fluctuation and higher condensation risk than the concrete structure.

소형 공조장치용 냉매 압축기 부품인 기계식 제어 밸브는 에어컨 컴프레서의 핵심부품이고 년간 수백만 개가 국내에 수입된다. 이를 국산화 하기 위하여 진공로 속에서의 브레이징 공정이 수반되는 외국제품의 제조공정을 탈피하여 진공 속에서 DC 프로젝션 용접을 수행하는 기법을 개발하였다. 실린더 형상의 캡과 케이스를 맞대고 그 사이에 박판을 삽입한 상태에서 butt welding 방식으로 진행되는 본 공정에서는, 생산성이 높고 서보가압 장치를 사용하여 soft touch 를 구현하므로 프로젝션이 손상되지 않은 상태에서 통전이 시작되고 2 단 가압 및 프로파일 가압이 가능하므로 링(ring)형상의 너깃이 축대칭으로 안정적으로 형성되기 때문에 실린더 내부의 밀봉성능이 우수함을 확인하였다. 진공로 속에서 본 가압장치를 설치하여 간편한 방법으로 실린더 내부의 진공상태를 유지할 수 있기 때문에 진공로 속에서의 브레이징 공정이 적용되는 외국제품보다 생산성이 월등함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 링 프로젝션(ring projection) 용접기법은 초소형 및 소형 실린더 형상의 부품 내부를 진공으로 유지해야 하는 산업현장에서 당장 적용될 수 있는 혁신적인 용접공정이라 판단된다.

To evaluate the effects on health by exposure to low dose organic solvents, the author analyzed the air concentration of mixed organic solvents (toluene, xylene, butylacetate) at worker's breathing zone during painting, some laboratory findings of blood (WBC, RBC, Hb, Hct, SGOT, SGPT, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, IgG, IgM, IgA and IgE) and urine (hippuric acid, urinary protein, urobilinogen), surveyed the subjective symptoms those were obtained from 35 male workers exposed to mixed organic solvents, and 25 male workers not exposed to organic solvents who worked in car repair workshops in Taejon area from December 1, 1995, to February 29, 1996. The results were as follows: 1. The mean concentration of urinary hippuric acid of car painting worker group (organic solvent exposure group) was 0.76$\pm$ 0.21 g/l, which is significantly higher than that of non-exposed group. 2. In hematologic findings, the values of RBC, TC, LDL-C, IgG and IgE in the exposure group were significantly lower than those of the nonexposed group, but SGOT and SGPT in the exposure group were significantly higher than those of the non-exposed group. 3. Urinary hippuric acid levels showed positively correlated with toluene, urobilinogen and HDL-C levels, but those were negatively correlated with RBC, LDL-C, IgM levels. 4. Rates of the subjective symptoms such as "dizziness", "appetite loss", "weight loss", "palpitation", "chest tightness", "sore throat and eye discomfort", "tingling sense and acrodynia", "illusion or hallucination" and "decreaased motor power" were significantly higher in the exposure group than those of the non-exposed group.

Residual performance of old architectural wood which has been damaged was measured using Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE). The wood Pole Tester was used to assess ultrasonic velocity inside wood and drill resistance was determined using an IML-resistograph. For ultrasonic measurements squared timber and circular timber's measurements were separately conducted with 1,300 m/s as the standard ultrasonic velocity. The standard wood samples divided into two parts; a non-sound area (below the standard), and a sound area (above the standard). Furthermore, schematization of wood was compared with results naked eye observation. The drilling resistance test was performed for both length and thickness direction in wood. The internal of the drilling was set at 30 cm (length direction), 5 cm (width direction) and 30cm (thickness direction). A non-sound area was defined as that 1) amplitude is below 20% and 2) carbonization and deterioration are related.

The present paper describes transient thermal and mechanical analyses of a lox/kerosene type turbopump in a LRE(Liquid Rocket Engine). Turbopumps are used to pressurize propellants to achieve higher specific impulse of LRE. The turbopump under development has been designed and verified by structural analyses using finite element methods. Some parts of the turbopump operate under cryogenic environments, while the others work under ambient and high temperature environments. Therefore, numerical analysis at a turbopump system level is essential. In this study, casing assemblies of lox pump and fuel pump were analyzed to determine strength test and air-tightness test conditions. Also, some operational stress and strains of fuel pump casings were measured and analyzed. Based on these results, stress concentration of fuel pump casings during the operation could be successfully predicted.

Airplane reservoirs made of Al7075 are coated with an anodizing layer to maintain precision, air tightness and corrosion resistance. It is commonly required that the inner surface roughness of the reservoir be less than an average $0.2{\mu}m$ to maintain stable oil pressure. Even though precision polishing is necessary to achieve this quality it is not easy. Inner surface roughness is not uniform and the quality of the product is irregular because most of the work is done by hand. The purpose of this study is to design an exclusive polishing machine and to determine the standard cutting condition and polishing condition necessary for good inner surface roughness and to improve workefficiency.

Recently, as the era of economic cooperation on the Korean Peninsula approaches, the role of the building sector, such as humanitarian reorganization of North Korean housing, is increasing. The purpose of this study is to find out the current location of North Korean housing standards through the North Korean Housing Survey. For the survey, a survey was conducted through 79 North Korean defectors. The main construction methods of North Korean housing are reinforced concrete, steel framed, wooden framed, masonry, and reinforced concrete walled and prefabricated. The residential environment satisfaction items consist of durability, waterproof, heating, ventilation, heat insulation, air tightness, mining, soundproofing, disaster safety, fire safety, and crime prevention. The result is as follows. The housing construction method in North Korea, which lived at that time, consisted of 21 people (30.88%) of reinforced concrete frames, 18 people (26.47%) of wooden frames, 17 people (25%) of masonry walls, 5 people of prefabricated structures (7.35%), and reinforced concrete. Two people (2.94%) were walled. Among these, the wooden frame type had the lowest satisfaction level for each item, and the reinforced concrete had a high level of dissatisfaction in the items of heating, confidentiality, and disaster safety, and the other item had a high level of satisfaction. The masonry wall type has a relatively high satisfaction level in terms of insulation, confidentiality, mining, and disaster safety.
