A numerical investigation has been carried out for a solar system, which consists of all glass solar vacuum tubes Water is heated as it flows through the coaxial fluid conduit inserted in each tube. The space between the exterior of the fluid conduit and the glass tube is filled with antifreeze solution. This is to facilitate heat transfer from the solar heated absorber surface to water and to prevent the functional problems due to freezing in frigid weather conditions. A one-dimensional steady state model is fully described which will be used to develop three-dimensional model using STAR-CD. These models could be used efficiently in designing all-glass solar collector tubes with different geometrical parameters other than those considered in the present analysis. Results show good agreement when compared with other experimental data demonstrating the reliability of the present model.

This study has been carried out to study the thermal performance of an all-glass type solar collector tube when a heat transfer medium is used with a heat storage unit capable of preventing pressure build-up within the tube. The heat storage unit is devised such that it performs the dual function of relieving excessive pressure and storing solar thermal energy. Different types of heat storage medium are tested under heat-up phase of a collector tube. It is found that the proposed unit could be used quite effectively if one wishes to capitalize more aggressively in harnessing the solar energy.

A numerical study has been carried out for a solar water heater which consists of double skin solar vacuum tubes. Water is heated as it flows through the coaxial fluid conduit inserted in each tube. The space between the exterior of the fluid conduit and the glass tube is tilled with antifreeze solution. This is to facilitate heat transfer from the solar heated absorber surface to water and to prevent the functional problems due to freezing in frigid weather conditions. A one-dimensional steady state model is fully described which will be used to develop three-dimensional model using STAR-CD. These models could be used efficiently in designing double skin solar collector tubes with different geometrical parameters other than those considered in the present analysis. Results show a good agreement when compared with other experimental data demonstrating the reliability of the one-dimensional model employed.

This study deals with the collection of solar energy and its storage in evacuated tubular collector systems for different types of header design, flow passage and heat transfer devices. In order to elicit the most efficient combination of header design, flow passage, heat transfer hardware and operating conditions, a series of tests were done for the four different types of solar collectors utilizing vacuum tubes. The systems studied here either has the evacuated collector tubes with a metal cap on one end or the all-glass evacuated solar collector tubes These evacuated tubular collectors are known to be more efficient than the flat-plate ones in both direct and diffuse solar radiation. Test results show that the system comprised of the all-glass evacuated tubes with U-shaped copper pipes inside outperforms the other configurations. Especially, a rolled copper sheet tightly placed along the inner surface of each inner tube enhances heat transfer between the heated collector surface and the water contained in the U-shaped copper pipe.

The Address No.0 of Eco-friendly Architecture offers unique experience for those who visit the place to envisage the future architecture where nature, human and building exist in harmony. It is open to the general public including the students of elementary and secondary schools. This house has been built to provide opportunities for the general public to experience eco-friendly architecture. It's floor area is 42 pyung($140m^2$) and the overall site has the area of 180 pyung($600m^2$). The following illustrates some of its prominent features : ${\bullet}$ Remodeling of a traditional Korean residence ${\bullet}$ Application of passive solar systems ${\bullet}$ Use of clerestory windows and daylighting systems(washroom and machine room) ${\bullet}$ Operation of solar water heaters with flat plate collectors ${\bullet}$ Construction of Biotop(small ecological world) ${\bullet}$ Water circulation for Biotop by photovoltaic(150W) and wind power(400W) generation ${\bullet}$ Outdoor hot water supplied by all-glass evacuated solar tubes. Through this Address No.0 of Eco-friendly Architeture conclusions are as followings. 1. The array of tubes in collector has the best nice in that the number of tube is nine and the tilt angle is the latitude $+20^{\circ}$. 2. The thermal performance of the all-glass solar vacuum collector was excellent than of the flate-plate solar collector. 3. The adaption of new small wind power systems to buildings were proved to produce a profit if it is considered the expense of environment improvement and the wind speed increasing according to rise of building hight.

이중진공관형 집열기는 진공기술을 이용하여 흡수면에서 대류열손실을 줄일 수 있으며, 비교적 적은 온도차에서도 열수송능력과 열응답성이 빠른 이점이 있어 유용한 기기로 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 태양열 집열기와 냉동기가 조합한 성능실험장치를 이용하여 태양열의 일사량, 유체온도의 제어조건에 따른 집열기의 동적 열성능을 파악하고, 이에 따른 항온조를 이용한 유체의 일정한 온도범위에서 냉동성능을 동시에 측정하여 열역학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과로서 집열효율의 관계식을 도출하였으며, 항온조의 출구온도 $18^{\circ}C$와 $22^{\circ}C$에서 집열기의 출구온도 $25^{\circ}C$로 설정하였을 때 항온조의 출구온도 $22^{\circ}C$ 경우가 외기온도 및 일사량이 증가함으로써 빠른 열전달특성을 보여 평균집열효율이 상승됨을 보였다. 또한 항온조의 출구온도 $18^{\circ}C$에서 냉동기의 성능계수는 6.2~7.1 정도의 결과를 얻게 되었다.

나노급 다이아몬드는 최근 폭발법이나 증착법에 의한 신공정으로 100 nm 이하의 분말형태의 제조가 가능하다. 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결을 이용하면 이상적인 연마기기의 제작이 가능하다. 이러한 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결 공정에서 생기는 비이상적인 나노결정의 결정립성장과 다이아몬드 결합장애를 방지하기 위해서 나노급 무기물을 균일하게 코팅하는 공정개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결 특성을 향상시키기 위해서 ALD(atomic layer deposition)을 이용하여 진공에서 $20{\sim}30\;nm$ 두께의 ZnO 박막을 코팅해 보았다. 나노급 다이아몬드 분말 전면에 경제적으로 ZnO ALD를 위해서 기존의 기계적 진동효과 또는 전용 fluidized bed reactor를 대치하여 새로이 20 mm 석영튜브 안에 다이아몬드 분말을 넣고 다공성 유리필터로 막은 후 펄스와 퍼지 공정시의 압력에 의한 다이아몬드의 부유를 이용한 변형된 fluidized bed 공정을 채용하였다. 다공성 유리필터로 양쪽이 막힌 석영튜브 안에 전구체 DEZn (diethylzinc : $C_4H_{10}Zn$)와 반응기체 $H_2O$를 사용하여 ZnO 박막을 캐니스터 온도 $10^{\circ}C$에서 원자층증착하였다. 공정 순서 및 반응물질 주입 시간은 DEZn pulse-0.1초, DEZn purge-20초, $H_2O$ pulse-0.1초, $H_2O$ purge-40초와 같이 설정하였으며, 이 네 단계를 1 cycle로 정의하여 100 cycle 반복 실시하였다. 다이아몬드 분말과 ZnO 박막이 증착된 다이아몬드 분말의 미세구조를 확인하기 위하여 투과전자현미경 (transmission electron microscope)을 이용하였다. TEM 측정결과, ALD 증착 전 나노급 다이아몬드 분말의 직경이 약 $70{\sim}120\;nm$이었고 사면체, 육면체 등의 다양한 형태를 보임을 확인하였다. ZnO 박막이 ALD코팅된 다이아몬드 분말의 직경은 약 $90{\sim}150\;nm$이었고, 다이아몬드 분말과 ZnO의 명암차이에 의해 약 $20{\sim}30\;nm$ 두께의 균일한 ZnO 박막이 다각형 형태의 다이아몬드 파우더 표면에 성공적으로 증착되었음을 확인하였다.
