R407C is considered as an alternative refrigerant to R22 for air conditioners. An experimental investigation was made to study the characteristics of the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop for R407C flowing in a fin-and-tube heat exchanger used for commercial air-conditioning units. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of inlet refrigerant temperature of 6$0^{\circ}C$ and refrigerant mass flux varying from 150 to 250 kg/$m^2$s for refrigerant side. The inlet air has dry bulb temperature of 35$^{\circ}C$ , relative humidity of 50% and air velocity varying from 0.8 to 1.6 m/s. Experiments show that air velocity increased by 25% is needed for R407C than that of R22 for subcooling temperature of 5$^{\circ}C$, which resulted in air-side pressure drop increase of 28.8% for R407C as compared to R22. As a consequence, in order to provide the same design condition of a condenser, the fan requires higher electric-power consumption with R407C than that with R22.

The technology of inductive power transfer has been proved to be a promising solution in many applications especially in electric vehicle (EV) charging systems, due to its features of safety and convenience. However, loosely coupled transformers lead to the system efficiency not coming up to the expectation at the present time. Therefore, at first, the magnetic core losses are calculated with a novel magnetic-circuit model instead of the commonly used finite-element-method (FEM) simulations. The parameters in the model can be obtained with a one-time FEM simulation, which makes the calculation process expeditious. When compared with traditional methods, the model proposed in the paper is much less time-consuming and relatively accurate. These merits have been verified by experimental results. Furthermore, with the proposed loss calculation model, the system is optimized by parameter sweeping, such as the operating frequency and winding turns. Specifically, rather than a predesigned switching frequency, a more efficiency-optimized frequency for the series-parallel (SP) compensation topology is detected and a detailed investigation has been presented accordingly. The optimized system is capable of an efficiency that is greater than 93% at a coil separation distance of 200mm and coil dimensions of $600mm{\times}400mm$.

This paper discribes an experimental explosion risk assessment study on refrigerators containing flammable hydrocarbon refrigerant. A refrigerator used in this study is a larder fridge type, 215 liter in volume. The hydrocarbon refrigerant used in the refrigerator is iso-butane(C$_4$H$_{10}$). For the explosion safety assessment of the refrigerator, temperature of compressor, cooling air circulation fan motor, defrost heater and inner lamp were measured during the operation. And to confirm the ignitablity of flammable gas by the electric spark of the switches of the refrigerator, ON-OFF test of all switches were conducted with compulsorily near the stoichiometric concentration atmosphere of iso-butane-air mixture. As the result of experiment above mentioned and another experiment for the explosion safety assessment, we can conclude that explosion hazard in connection with the use of hydrocarbon refrigerant was few.w.

In order to study the dynamic failure mechanism and aseismic measure for high concrete gravity dam under earthquake, the comparative models experiment on the shaking table was conducted to investigate the dynamic damage response of concrete gravity dam with and without the presence of reinforcement and evaluate the effectiveness of the strengthening measure. A new model concrete was proposed and applied for maintaining similitude with the prototype. A kind of extra fine wires as a substitute for rebar was embedded in four-points bending specimens of the model concrete to make of reinforced model concrete. The simulation of reinforcement concrete of the weak zones of high dam by the reinforced model concrete meets the similitude requirements. A tank filled with water is mounted at the upstream of the dam models to simulate the reservoir. The Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) that induces the first tensile crack at the head of dam is applied as the basic index for estimating the overload capacity of high concrete dams. For the two model dams with and without strengthening tested, vulnerable parts of them are the necks near the crests. The results also indicate that the reinforcement is beneficial for improving the seismic-resistant capacity of the gravity dam.

'Ionic wind' is phenomenon induced by corona discharge which occurs when large electric potential is applied to electrodes with high curvature. The ionic wind has advantage that it could generate forced convective flow without any external energy like separate pump. In this study, 'pin-mesh' arrangement is utilized for experiments. First, optimization of configuration is conducted with local momentum of ionic wind behind the mesh. Empirical equation for prediction about velocity profile was derived using the measured results. Secondly, the enhancement of mass transfer rate of acetone with ionic wind was analyzed. Also, the drying efficiency using a fan which has same flow rate was compared with ionic wind for identification of additional chemical reaction. At last, the drying process of organic solvent was visualized with image processing. As a result, it was shown that the use of ionic wind could dry organic matter four times faster than the natural condition.

This study conducted the measurements of air flow rate for blower systems with experiment and numerical. A new airflow rate test method is suggested, with which it is possible to accurate measurements and calculate the air flow rate for blower systems. The blower(axial fan) is an industrial fluid machine device that supplies a large amount of air by driving an impeller with an electric motor, and it is widely used throughout the industry such as steel, power plant, chemical, semiconductor, LC D, food, and cement. The airflow from the blower is for exchanging the heat in the cooling unit or heat exchanger. The temperature of coolants and hydraulic oil primarily depends on the amount of airflow rate through the cooling package so its accurate estimation is very important. Moreover, it required a larger investment in time and cost since it could not be executed until the system is actually made. Therefore, this research is intended to examine the phenomenon of air flow pattern when testing air flow rate, suggested new test method, and show the result of the validation test.

최근 대기오염으로 인한 환경오염을 줄이고자 국제 산업계의 노력의 일환으로 국제해사기구(IMO)의 규제 발효등으로 이어지고 있다. IMO는 EEXI,EEDI,CII 등 선박에서 나오는 대기오염을 줄이기 위해 각종 규제를 발효시키고 선박에서 소모되는 전력을 줄여 에너지를 절약하는 방안을 추진하고 있다. 선박에서 사용되는 전력의 대부분은 전동기가 차지한다. 선박에 설치된 전동기 중 큰 부하를 차지하는 기관실 송풍기는 수요와 관계없이 정속운전으로 운전하기 때문에 주파수제어를 통한 에너지절감을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전기의 과급기에 연소공기를 공급하는 발전기 송풍기의 전동기 주파수를 제어하여 에너지 절감에 대한 실효성을 입증하였다. 송풍기 주파수 입력에 따른 과급기출구 온도의 출력 데이터를 기반으로 시스템을 모델링하고, 과급기 출구온도를 목표값으로 하여 주파수를 제어하는 PI 제어계를 형성하여 과급기 설계기준 출구온도를 유지하면서 송풍기의 주파수 제어를 통해 연간 15,552kW 전력소모량을 절감하였다. 송풍기 팬 주파수 제어를 통한 에너지절감액의 유효성은 하계(4월~9월) 및 동계(3월~10월) 기간동안 검증하였으며 이를 토대로 실습선의 연간 6,091천원의 유류비 절약과 이산화탄소 8.5Ton, SOx 2.4kg, NOx 7.8kg의 대기오염물질 저감을 달성하였다.

In the first part of the study, rates of estrus occurrence and success of A.I. service in the Thai-native and Friesian crossbred, and purebred Friesian cows fed in the National Dairy Training and Applied Research Institute in Chiang Mai, Thailand were traced monthly throughout a year. An electric fan and a water sprinkler cooled the stall for the purebred cows during the hot season (March-September). Both rates in pure Friesians were at their highest in the cold-dry season (October- February), but they decreased steadily during the hot-dry season (March-May) and were at their lowest in the hot-wet season (June-September). Seasonal change of a similar pattern was observed in the incidence of estrus, but not in the success rate of insemination in the crossbred cows. By the use of reproductive data, compiled in the same institute, on the 75 % cross- and purebred Friesian cows, and climatological data in Chiang Mai district, effects of ambient temperature and humidity on the reproductive traits of cows were examined by regression analysis in the second half of the study. Significant relationships in the crossbred, expressed by positive-linear and parabola regressions, were found between reproductive parameters such as days to the first estrus (DTFE), A.I. service (DTFAI), and conception, the number of A.I. services required for conception and some climatic factors. However, regarding this, no consistent or intelligible results were obtained in purebred cows, perhaps because electric fans and water sprinklers were used for this breed in the hot season. Among climatic factors examined, the minimum temperature (MINT) in early lactation affected reproductive activity most conspicuously. As the temperature during one or two months prior to the first estrus and A.I. service rose, DTFE and DTFAI steadily became longer, although, when MINT depleted below $17-18^{\circ}C$, the reproductive interval tended to be prolonged again on some occasions. The maximum temperature also affected DTFE and DTFAI, but only in limited conditions. The effect of humidity was not clear, although the inverse relationship between DTFE and minimum humidity during 2 months before the first estrus in the crossbred seemed to be significant. Failure to detect any definite effect of climate on the reproductive traits of pure Friesians seemed to indicate that forced ventilation by electric fans and water sprinklers were effective enough to protect the reproductive ability of this breed from the adverse effects of a hot climate.

지하철 터널 내에 축적된 미세먼지와 초미세먼지를 제거하기 위해서는 새로운 형식의 분진흡입차량이 필요하다. 따라서 최근 개발된 분진흡입차는 초미세먼지 제거를 위한 흡입시스템과 사이클론형식의 전처리부 및 전기집진기를 장착하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 집진차량의 하부에 설치된 먼지 흡입시스템이 다양한 크기의 먼지입자를 효과적으로 흡입하고 처리하기 위해 사이클론형식의 전처리부가 포함된 집진시스템을 설계하고 집진효율을 ANSYS FLUENT의 전산유체해석을 통해 확인하였다. 흡입구와 사이클론형 프리필터가 연결된 격자모델을 기반으로 공기유동과 상차분모델(Discrete Phase Model)을 이용하여 다양한 입자의 크기와 종류 및 흡입팬의 용량에 따른 입자의 거동을 해석하였다. 다양한 입자의 크기와 종류, 흡입팬의 용량에 대해서 해석결과 집진차량의 운영속도 5km/h에서 미세먼지처리를 위해서는 흡입팬의 용량 $1500m^3/min$에서 흡입구가 궤도면으로부터 약 100mm이내일 때 $100{\mu}m$ 이하 크기의 먼지를 모두 처리할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 흡입구와 사이클론형식의 프리필터를 탑재한 터널집진차량은 후단에 설치된 전기집진기의 부하를 줄이고, 지하 터널내의 미세먼지와 초미세먼지의 제거에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
