Most of the domestic cold storage rooms are inefficient for agricultural products because of temperature gradients inside the storage rooms. Temperature gradients are developed mainly by improper airflow pattern inside the storage room, which is a main cause of the spoilage of the agricultural products. There proper airflow pattern is essential to minimize these temperature gradients and the spoilage. The performance and characteristics of a cold storage room were determined as a function of airflow pattern and temperature distribution in forced circulation cold storage room. A commercial CFD(computational fluid dynamics) code was used to simulate 3-D airflow in the cold storage room. Solving the flow equations for the storage room, a standard k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model was implemented to calculate steady state turbulent velocity distribution. The CFD prediction results were compared with temperature measurements inside the cold storage room. In case of pallet storage, Temperature gradients inside pallet storage was reduced because the contact area of cold air expanded through an alley of airflow in storage. But is case of bulk storage, the last temperature of storage considerably rose more than the initial temperature of storage. The reason was that bulk storage didn't include any alley of airflow in storage.

Drying process, corresponding to a final process in the area of food engineering, requires a lot of heat energy. Thus, the energy efficiency is very important for dryers. Since the energy efficiency of heat pump dryers is much higher compared to that of electric dryers or other types of dryers, most of large-capacity dryers are adopting heat pump. In this study, shapes, positions and number of air-circulating fans, guide vanes, air inlet, outlet and top separator were varied for optimization of the flow of a large-capacity heat pump dryer. In addition, fans were modelled with performance curves and porous media were assumed for foods and heat exchangers. The simulation results were applied to the 12-ton dryer and the velocity distributions were experimentally examined. Finally, uniform drying in time was successfully accomplished through frozen pepper experiment.

The purpose of this study is to minimize the heat transfer surface area and cold fluid exit temperature of heat exchanger which applied to the refrigeration and air-conditioning system by utilizing the thermoelectric principle. Both uniform and non-uniform current distribution methods which applied to the analysis of the TE elements that incorporates heat exchanger were investigated. The non-uniform current distribution method had the better coefficient of performance and had the lower cold fluid exit temperature of the TE cooling system than the uniform current distribution method. It was found that if a TE cooling system incorporates a heat exchanger, a non-uniform current distribution should guarantee to the lowest cold fluid exit temperature. Also, the hybrid method (combination of the uniform and non-uniform current distribution method) is investigated to achieve the best results by combining the uniform and non-uniform current distributions. The results show that it can lower the cold fluid exit temperature and reduce the heat transfer surface area for the parallel flow arrangement if we apply the constant current in some entry region and the non-uniform increasing current in the direction of the cold fluid flow afterwards.

본 연구는 한냉지에서 실외기에 서리가 형성되지 않는 난방이 가능한 히트펌프를 개발하고자 한다. 그래서 실내에서 -25℃의 환경을 제공할 수 있는 항온기 및 실험챔버를 구성하였다. 실험장치 내에 설치된 히트펌프의 실외기 전면에 도달하는 공기의 특성을 파악할 필요가 있어 범용소프트웨어인 ANSYS CFX를 이용하여 유동해석을 하였다. 그 결과 시뮬레이션 조건(5.0~7.0 m/s)의 모든 영역에서 실외기 전방에 도달하는 공기의 유속이 자연상태와 다르게 분포함을 파악하였다. 따라서 실외기 전면에 일정한 공기 유속이 도달할 수 있도록 별도의 공기분배기를 추가 설치할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

최근 산림청이 기후 변화 대응 대책으로써 지자체 바람길숲 조성 사업을 시행함에 따라 다양한 바람길에 대한 연구가 수행되어 오고 있다. 바람길숲 조성을 위해서는 바람길 기능에 대한 평가가 선행되어야 한다. 하지만, 현재 바람길을 직접적으로 평가하고, 바람길의 유형에 따라 공간을 구분할 평가 지표가 없어 간접적인 지표를 기준으로 분석을 수행하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 냉각에너지 분석을 찬공기 생성에 대한 평가 지표로 활용함으로써 바람길을 평가 및 분류하는 방법을 제안하였다. Kaltluftabflussmodell_21(KLAM_21)이라는 찬공기 분석 모형을 활용하여 냉각에너지 분석을 하였다. 그리고 시뮬레이션 분석 결과에 따라 바람길을 찬공기 생성지역, 찬공기 취약지역, 찬공기 유동지역으로 분류하였다. 냉각에너지량을 기준으로 상위 5퍼센트를 찬공기 생성지역, 하위 5퍼센트를 찬공기 취약지역으로 분류하였다. 또한 찬공기 유동지역은 찬공기 생성지역에서 이동하는 찬공기의 흐름을 파악하여 분류하였다. 분석 결과, 대구광역시의 바람길 6개의 바람 생성지역이 존재하며, 찬공기 취약지역은 시가지 내부에 집중되어 있었고, 찬공기 유동지역은 대구광역시의 주요 하천과 도로를 따라 형성되어 있었다. 본 연구의 방법론을 통해 바람길의 효과를 정량적 평가 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 바람길숲 조성 사업지 선정에 제시할 수 있는 평가 지표로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, energy loss due to ventilation load in the dock system was analyzed through simulation. Also, flow generated in the dock system of the warehouse was measured using manufactured measuring devices. Numerical simulation was conducted by simulating the most common picking tasks by examining the actual working environment. Incompressible and unsteady turbulent flows were assumed, and the turbulence model was the k-e standard model. Proper grid was selected through grid dependency test. Measurement was conducted using Honeywell and Vaisala sensors, and flow and temperature inside the warehouse were measured and compared with simulation results to validate simulation. When comparing amount of loss occurring in two hours and amount of loss occurring in 15 minutes, docking time of the former was eight times longer but energy loss was 3.8 times lower. Ventilation load occurring during the initial period after opening docking system accounted for a large proportion of total ventilation load. Also, comparing the load when the dock was closed and the load when the truck was parked, ventilation load was significantly higher than load due to heat conduction from the wall. Therefore, in improving the docking system, it is effective to reduce the gap by improving compatibility of the docking system and truck, rather than wall material.

Garlic (Allium sativum)is a major crop in most Asian countries, and its consumption in Asia-Pacific countries exceeds 90% of the global consumption. It contains beneficial ingredients and numerous essential nutrients, such as manganese, vitamin B6, and vitamin B1. Garlic demand is rising not only in Asian countries but also around the world. Particularly, garlic demand has been steadily increasing in European countries, such as Spain, France, Italy, and the American continent. In South Korea, 331,671 tons and 387,671 tons of garlic was produced in 2018 and 2019, respectively, making the country the fifth ranking garlic producer in the world, and the production has been increasing every year. In this study, the study on temperature distribution in cold storage of Korean garlic in folding wire mesh pallet container using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was performed and Computations were based a commercial simulation software (ANSYS Workbenh Ver. 18.0). Considering the respiration heat of garlic, the decreasing rate of temperature in the area in contact with the cold air was fast due to the inflow of cold air inside, while the decreasing rate of temperature in the center of the pallet was very low. In order to maintain a uniform temperature distribution inside the agricultural product storage pallet in a low-temperature warehouse, it is considered desirable to install an air passageway to allow low-temperature air to flow into the wire mesh pallet.
