Recently H1N1(swine flu) and SARS has been infected widely in the world; we have to care about germs and virus in indoor air environment. The air sterilization system investigated in this study allows occupants to turn on/off and to control the incoming air speed and direction. To predict the performance of air sterilization system without real experiment, a simulation is considered to compare and analyze the performance of the air sterilization systems in a typical office space. Multiple system parameters including volume flow rate and velocity of supply air were varied and investigated during the simulation. The investigation result shows that difference (between simulation and experiment) was about 3.5% in case of minimum air flow rate and about 0.2% in case of maximum air flow rate. The results indicate that multi-zone simulation technique can be used to predict the performance of a sterilization system in personalized office.

The thermal comfort of occupants is directly related to several environmental factors such as velocity of air flow, turbulence intensity and temperature distribution of indoor air. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the indoor air flow and temperature distribution in office area using under-floor air-conditioning system (UFAC System) based on the results from physical measurements and to perform a Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) under the same condition of inlet and outlet as field measurement. The results from the CFD simulation are similar to those from the field measurement. The results show that UFAC system is provide proper indoor condition for occupants.

Performance of the water/air direct contact air conditioning system, in which heat and mass are directly transferred between air and water droplet, is simulated using semi-empirical method. Direct contact system improves transport efficiency compared to conventional indirect contact system. In this study, correlations for h$_{c}$A / c$_{pm}$ which represent the capacity of direct contact system are derived as a function of air and water flowrate from the experimental data. Cooling and heating performance of the water/air direct contact air conditioning system are evaluated using these correlations.ons.

There have been many cases when an air curtain installed in the apartment could not remove the gases well, such as carbon dioxide and particles like as smoke, oils, and vapors generated during cooking to disperse pollutants into the room. This study used a numerical analysis to show how the pollutant-removing performance of the range hood is changed when the air curtain is installed front of the kitchen table. The result of this study was that when the air amount supplied by an air curtain through the slot was about 50% of the exhaust amount, the capturing efficiency of the range hood for pollutants increased 90% more than without an air curtain. Even when the amount of supplied air was small, the capturing efficiency improved markedly with the use of an upward air curtain. In case that the air flow rate of the slot was greater than 60%, the capturing efficiency decreased.

The velocity and motion of single air bubbles rising through lubricant have been experimentally investigated to test the effect of silicon defoamant The investigation reveals that the velocity is markedly retarded by the addition of small amount of silicone defoamant. This retardation of rising velocity of air bubbles is proposed by increasing of Drag force or reducing of Buoyancy force around the surfaces of the bubbles.
