  • The purpose of this study is to present the simulation results and an overview of the performance assessment of the Ground-Source Heat Pump(GSHF) system. The calculation was performed for two design factors: the spacing between boreholes and the depth of the vertical ground heat exchangers. And the simulation was carried out using the thermal simulation code TRNSYS with new model of water to water heat pump developed by this study. As a result, it was anticipated that the yearly mean COPs of heat pump for heating and cooling are about 3.7 and 5.8 respectively and the heat pump can supply 100% of heating and cooling load all the year around.

  • We have implemented a system of falling weight impact tester. Absorbed energy of orthotropic composites with using T300 fiber, which are composed of the same fiber and stacking number is higher than that of quasi-isotropic specimen over impact energy 7J, but in case of using T700 fiber, much difference does not show. Also, absorbed energy of orthotropic composites with using T300 fiber, which are composed of stacking number and orientation became more than that of T700 fiber specimen; however great change doesn't show in case of quasi-isotropic specimens. Delamination area of impacted specimens was measured with ultrasonic C-scanner to find correlation between impact energy and delamination area. Delamination area and frequency responses was evaluated between impacted and unimpacted specimens. There is a strong correlation between frequency responses and impact-induced delamination. The presence and scale of damages have been investigated based on the variations of frequency responses.

  • To investigate the effect of strains heat effect and thermal energy on the intrinsic degradation of $LaNi_5$, the changes of P-C-Isotherm curves under the condition of mainly applied one of the above factors were investigated. The revesible hydrogen storage capacity decreased by means of the hydrogenation at high temperature without cyclings or pressure induced cyclings with low thermal energy. The degree of degradation was more severe as the heat of hydrogenation reaction increased. Thus the intrinsic degradation of $LaNi_5$ depended upon lattice strain as well as thermal energy.

  • The dual-energy technique win used to separate the bone-only and tissue-only images from the conventional chest images. The equivalent thickness of the basic materials are estimated from low and high energy images of a given complex materials using the attenuation coefficient of ma serial componens. We showed that the image quality of dual-energy imaging method can be influenced by the ponlinearity and noise components of system and spectrum distributions The quantitative analysis of Calcium component was performed by dual-energy technique and it is shown that the concentration of the Calcium could be accurately estimated within 5% error range.

  • This paper experimentally investigates the feasibility of harvesting vibration energy from whistles using piezoelectric materials. The end goal of this research is to generate sufficient power from the whistle to power a small radio transmitter to relay a basic signal - for example, a distress call. First, the paper discusses the current literature in energy harvesting from acoustic resonance. Next, the concept of an active whistle is presented. Next, results from energy harvesting experiments conducted on conventional and ultrasonic whistles undergoing human-actuation and actuation by a pressure-regulated air supply are presented. The maximum power density of the conventional whistle actuated by a human at 100 dB sound pressure level is $98.1{\mu}W/cm^3$.
