To analyze the cooling performance in the refrigerator truck according to frost growth, the analytical model of refrigeration system was developed under frost and non-frost condition using EES. The system performance was analyzed with outdoor temperature, storage temperature, outdoor front air velocity and compressor speed in order to investigate the system performance characteristics with operating conditions. Besides, the system performance under frost condition was compared with that under non-frost condition. As a result, the frost thickness was 0.9 mm when the refrigerating capacity of frost condition was decreased by 30%. The maximum of the system COP was shown at compressor speed of 1500 rpm for non-frost and frost condition, simultaneously. The performance under frost condition was more sensitive to the operating condition compared to that under non-frost condition.

Effective use of available energy sources is of general concern along with the issues of global warming and unstable oil price. As one of the effort to recover waste heat from industrial facilities effectively, researchers have interest in a technology called organic Rankine cycle(ORC), in which the working fluid is some organic liquid instead of water. Known to have poor efficiency already, this old technology is considered to give an innovative solution to utilizing low grade energy sources, by improving the efficiency. Nano fluidics, coatings and the use of additives are the examples of these efforts. In the present study, we present simulated performance of a horizontal tube type condenser geometry. N-hexanr and isopentane are compared to water vapor case under 1 atm and the inet cooling water temperature of $20^{\circ}C$. EES(Engineering Equations Solver) is used for the present work.

Purpose: To develop an advanced non-linear curve fitting (NLCF) algorithm for dynamic susceptibility contrast study of brain. Materials and Methods: The first pass effects give rise to spuriously high estimates of $K^{trans}$ in voxels with large vascular components. An explicit threshold value has been used to reject voxels. Results: By using this non-linear curve fitting algorithm, the blood perfusion and the volume estimation were accurately evaluated in T2*-weighted dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MR images. From the recalculated each parameters, perfusion weighted image were outlined by using modified non-linear curve fitting algorithm. This results were improved estimation of T2*-weighted dynamic series. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated an improvement of an estimation of kinetic parameters from dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data, using contrast agents. The advanced kinetic models include the relation of volume transfer constant $K^{trans}\;(min^{-1})$ and the volume of extravascular extracellular space (EES) per unit volume of tissue $\nu_e$.

The tendency to renewables is one of the consequences of changing attitudes towards energy issues. As a result, solar energy, which is the leader among renewable energies based on availability and potential, plays a crucial role in full filing global needs. Significant problems with the solar thermal power plants (STPP) are the operation time, which is limited by daylight and is approximately half of the power plants with fossil fuels, and the capital cost. Exergy analysis survey of STPP hybrid with PCM storage carried out using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) program with genetic algorithm (GA) for three different scenarios, based on eight decision variables, which led us to decrease final product cost (electricity) in optimized scenario up to 30% compare to base case scenario from 28.99 $/kWh to 20.27 $/kWh for the case study. Also, in the optimal third scenario of this plant, the inner carbon dioxide gas cycle produces 1200 kW power with a thermal efficiency of 59% and also 1000 m3/h water with an exergy efficiency of 23.4% and 79.70 kg/h with an overall exergy efficiency of 34% is produced in the tetrageneration plant.

This study was conducted for analysis of a heat pump system using waste heat in an enclosed space such as a green house. The model was developed with mathematical equations in literature and Engineering Equation Solver (EES) was used to get the solution of the developed equations. The simulation results have 5% of reliability comparing the results with actual test data of heat pump system's dynamic operation. The operating performance of the system was calculated with variation of working fluid temperature in the thermal storage tank such as $25^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$. As a result, the system's the highest total heating capacity shows 280 kWh and the storage tank's operating time decreased as the starting storage tank's temperature was high.

In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), the computational complexity of resource allocation algorithms is a significant problem that must be addressed. However, the high computational complexity of the optimal solution for tackling resource allocation in CRNs makes it inappropriate for use in practical applications. Therefore, this study proposes a power-based pricing algorithm (PPA) primarily to reduce the computational complexity in downlink CRN scenarios while restricting the interference to primary users to permissible levels. A two-stage approach reduces the computational complexity of the proposed mathematical model. Stage 1 assigns subcarriers to the CRN's users, while the utility function in Stage 2 incorporates a pricing method to provide a power algorithm with enhanced reliability. The PPA's performance is simulated and tested for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing-based CRNs. The results confirm that the proposed algorithm's performance is close to that of the optimal algorithm, albeit with lower computational complexity of O(M log(M)).

Hybrid heat pumps, which combine the vapor compression and absorption heat pump cycle, can efficiently produce hot water of $80^{\circ}-90^{\circ}C$ from the low temperature of ${\sim}50^{\circ}C$. In this study, the performance of a two-stage hybrid heat pump (HHP) was compared with a single-stage hybrid heat pump using EES (Engineering Equation Solver). For the same operating conditions, the two-stage HHP showed a slightly higher COP (Coefficient Of Performance) and more stable operating conditions than the single-stage HHP. Moreover, the maximum working fluid temperature of the two-stage HHP was found to be lower than that of the single-stage HHP by about 40 K, which makes the working conditions of the lubricating oil safer. The COPs of both systems decreased with increasing UA-values. However, the heat output of the HHP was increased at the same time.

Emerged in early 1990s, so called 'Quick service' industry that provides faster delivery of small parcels than regular mail service accelerated use of motorcycles. As the economic grows, use of large bicycles (more than 250CC displacement) for leisure purpose has also rapidly increased. Traffic crash data clearly shows the increasing trend in motorcycle crashes. The ratio of motorcycle involved crashes out of total has increased from 5.7% in 2005 to 8.3% in 2008, and similar trend can be found in fatalities ratio as well. In this study, we assess the level of risk when motorcycles operate on motorways by analyzing traffic rule violation ratio, lane change behaviour, driving speed behaviors of motorcycles in Uninterrupted Traffic Flow Facilities and using PC-CRASH simulation we also calculate car shock impulses occurred when an accident happens. Analysis result shows that the motorcycle is different from the car in terms of lane change timing and average speed, and also shows motorcycle drivers tends to conduct more improper driving behavior particularly when traffic is congested. The results from this study could be usefully applied when the law enforcement agent decides whether bicycles shall be allowed to use motorways. The result could be also utilized as fundamental information for further study of bicycles' driving behavior.

증발기의 형태에 따라 수치적 해석을 진행하면서 최적의 효율을 나타낼 수 있는 증발기를 설계하는 것이 중요하다. 증발기의 수치적 해석은 EES 프로그램을 이용하여 진행되었으며, 계산의 검증은 자사의 제품의 성능과 비교하면서 검증하였다. 증발기의 수치적 해석의 구성은 지배방정식과 연속방정식을 이용하여, 냉매의 총괄열전달계수, 관내외벽의 열전도율, 공기의 총괄열전달계수를 이용하여 총괄열전달계수를 계산하였으며, 총괄열전달계수를 이용하여 증발기의 열량을 계산하였다. 증발기의 수치적 해석과 자사 제품 5개의 제품과 비교하였고, 평균적으로 약 10%의 오차율을 보였다. 신뢰성이 확보된 계산식을 이용하여 Fin의 간격, 단위 질량유량, 열 교환 코일 길이, 풍량의 조건을 각각 변동시켜 증발기 열량 비교를 하며 경향성을 고찰하였다. Fin의 간격을 1mm에서 20mm으로 0.5mm 간격으로 변화 시켰을 경우, 핀 간격이 좁으면 공기 유속이 빨라져 열 교환 효율이 낮아지며, 반대로 넓어지면 냉매 유량에 비해 공기 유량이 많기 때문에 열 교환 효율이 낮아진다. 열 교환 코일 길이를 500mm에서 2400mm으로 50mm 간격으로 변화 시켰을 경우, 열 교환 코일 길이가 길어질수록 배관의 마찰력과 냉매의 온도 상승으로 인하여 공기 온도와의 온도 차이가 줄어들어 열 교환 효율은 낮아진다. 풍량을 20cmm에서 400cmm으로 10cmm 간격으로 변화 시켰을 경우, 일정 풍량 이상 올라가면 공기 유속이 빨라져서 열량이 낮아지는 경향을 보인다. 질량유량을 3g/sec에서 174g/sec으로 4.5g/sec 간격으로 변화 시켰을 경우, 질량 유량에 따라 비례적으로 열량이 높아지는 경향을 보이다가 일정 질량 유량 이상에서는 공기 풍량에 비해 냉매 유량이 많기 때문에 반비례적으로 열량이 낮아진다. 이처럼 증발기의 설계는 Fin 간격, 열 교환 코일 길이, 풍량, 질량유량 등을 복합적으로 고려하여 증발기 설계를 해야 하며, 저장고의 크기, 부하, 사용목적에 따라 최적화된 증발기를 설계하여야 한다.
