Despite provision of drinking water as the most common method of occupational heat stress prevention, there remains confusion in hydration messaging to workers. During work site interactions in a hot and humid climate, workers commonly report being informed to consume tepid fluids to accelerate rehydration. When questioned on the evidence supporting such advice, workers typically cite that fluid absorption is delayed by ingestion of chilled beverages. Presumably, delayed absorption would be a product of fluid delivery from the gut to the intestines, otherwise known as gastric emptying. Regulation of gastric emptying is multifactorial, with gastric volume and beverage energy density the primary factors. If gastric emptying is temperature dependent, the impact of cooling is modest in both magnitude and duration (${\leq}5$ minutes) due to the warming of fluids upon ingestion, particularly where workers have elevated core temperature. Given that chilled beverages are most preferred by workers, and result in greater consumption than warm fluids during and following physical activity, the resultant increased consumption of chilled fluids would promote gastric emptying through superior gastric volume. Hence, advising workers to avoid cool/cold fluids during rehydration appears to be a misinterpretation of the research. More appropriate messaging to workers would include the thermal benefits of cool/cold fluid consumption in hot and humid conditions, thereby promoting autonomy to trial chilled beverages and determine personal preference. In doing so, temperature-based palatability would be maximized and increase the likelihood of workers maintaining or restoring hydration status during and after their work shift.

U shape multitube heat exchanger was equipped in the flue to recover the exhaust heat from the boiler system. The fluids of the exhaust heat recovery equipment were the flue gas as the hot fluid, and the water as the cold fluid. The flow geometry of the fluids was cross flow - two pass, the hot fluid being mixed and the cold fluid unmixed. The results of the theoretical and the experimental analysis and the economic evaluation are summarized as follows. 1) The heat exchanger effectiveness and the temperature efficiency of the hot fluid were about 35% when the fuel consumption rate was 140 - 150 L/15min. The temperature efficiency for the cold fluid ranged from 3.0% to 4.5%. The insulation efficiency ranged from 85% to 98%, which was better than the KS air preheater insulation efficiency of 90%. 2) The relationship between the fuel consumption rate, F, and the outlet temperature, $T_{h2}$, of the flue gas from the heat exchanger was $T_{h2}$ = 0.927F + 110. In order to prevent the low temperature corrosion from the coagulation of $SO_3$, it is necessary to maintain the fuel consumption rate above 82 L/15min. 3) The ratio of the exhaust heat from the boiler system to the total energy consumption was about 14.5%. With the installation of the exhaust heat recovery equipment, the energy recovery ratio to the exhaust heat was about 25%. Accordingly, about 3.6% of the total fuel consumption was estimated to be saved. 4) Economic analysis indicated that the installation of the exhaust heat recovery equipment was feasible to save the energy, because the capital reocvery period was only 10 months when the fuel consumption rate was 80 L/15min. 4 months when it was 160 L/15min. 5) Based on the theoretical and the experimental analysis, it was estimated to save the energy of about 18 million Won per year, if four heat exchangers are installed in a factory. 6) A further study is recommended to identify the relationship among the flow rate of the exhaust gas, the size of the heat exchanger and the capacity of the air preheater. For a maximum heat recovery from the exhaust gas an automatic control system is required to control the flow rate of the cold fluid depending on the boiler load.

Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics takes charge of an important role in the oil industries. Especially in the oil well drilling process, the drilling fluid such as mud keeps the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, with suspending drill cuttings and lubricating a drill bit. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of fluid mud rheological properties to predict different characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid in the mud mixing tank on offshore drilling platforms. In this paper, ANSYS fluent package was used for the simulation to solve the hydrodynamic force and to evaluate mud mixing time. Prediction of the power consumption and the pumping effectiveness has been presented with different operating fluid models as Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. The comparison between Newtonain mud model and non-Newtonian mud model is confirmed by the CFD simulation method of drilling mud mixing tank. The results present useful information for the design of the drilling mud mixing tanks and provide some guidance on the use of CFD tool for such non-Newtonian fluid flow.

In this study we have evaluated daily beverage intake of the inhabitants in Seoul by a 24 hrs. recall procedure from 1145 respondents between pre-school children to adults in the period of June-July 1985. Estimates of consumption were made for each of seven beverage groups and comparisons were made within age, sex and body weight. Significant differences existed for certain beverage in each category analyzed. Total Fluid intake was greater for male than female at all ages and tended to be lower in the older age group with adjustment for differences in body weight. Milk was the major beverage among children while soft drinks were the predominant beverage for teen-ages. Alcoholic drinks represented the smallest component of daily fluid intake among women but were the second largest component of daily fluid levels for men over the age of 24 years.

Lots of semi-active control devices have been developed in recent years because they have the best features of passive and active system. Especially, controllable magneto-rheological(MR) fluid devices have received significant attention in these area of research. The MR fluid is the material that reversibly changes from a free-flowing, linear viscous fluid to a semisolid with a controllable yield strength in milliseconds when exposed to a magnetic field. If the magnetic field is induced by moving a permanent magnet instead of applying current to a solenoid, it is possible to design a MR damper consuming low power because the power consumption is reduced at steady state. This paper proposes valve mode MR damper using permanent magnetic circuit that has wide range of operation with low power consumption, a design parameter is adopted. The magnetic circuit, material of choke and choke type are selected experimentally with the design parameter. The behaviors of the damper are examined and torque tracking control using PID feedback controller is performed for step, ramp and sinusoidal trajectiories.

This paper proposes valve mode MR damper using permanent magnetic circuit that has wide range of operation with low power consumption and small size. To design a MR damper that has a large maximum dissipating torque and a low damping coefficient, a design parameter is adopted. The magnetic circuit, material of choke and choke type are selected experimentally with the design parameter. The behaviors of the damper are examined and torque tracking control using PID feedback controller is performed for step, ramp and sinusoidal trajectories.

한국의 2016년 화장률은 82.7%로 1994년의 20.5%보다 4배나 높았다. 화장률이 점차 증가함에 따라 화장시설이 부족해지면서 화장률이 높아질수록 화장시설의 증설이 요구되고 있으며, 또한 화장로의 장기간 작동에 따라 많은 양의 연료가 사용되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 화장로의 열효율 특성을 최적화하고, 증가하는 화장에 대한 요구에 대응하는 화장 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문의 목적은 전산 유체 역학(computational fluid dynamics, CFD)을 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써 열전달 계수를 포함한 열흐름 특성을 조사하는 것이다. CFD 모델은 화장시설에 대한 현장 실험으로 검증되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 주 연소기에서 연료 소비가 거의 25% 감소하고 체류 시간이 증가했다. 시뮬레이션을 토대로 개량된 연소기, 열교환기, 2차 연소 공기 시스템, 내화 및 단열재를 사용하여 개선된 화장로를 구성하였다. 현장실험 결과 에너지 소비가 약 54.4%로 줄어들었으며 연소 시간이 거의 20 min 단축되었다.

본 연구에서는 2유체노즐을 이용하여 에탄올 풀화재(Ethanol pool fire) 소화 실험을 수행하였다. 화원 면적이 5.027 × 10^-3 ㎡와 1.131 × 10^-2 ㎡(연료팬 직경은 각각 80 mm와 120 mm)를 대상으로 하였고, 화재 소화 실험 시 2유체노즐로의 공급 유량의 경우 물은 156-483 g/min, 공기는 20-70 L/min 조건이었다. 화원 면적이 증가하면 열방출률도 증가하였고, 화원 면적이 5.027 × 10^-3 ㎡와 1.131 × 10^-2 ㎡일 때의 열방출률은 각각 1.01 kW와 5.51 kW로 측정되었다. 본 실험 영역에서 2가지 화원 면적 조건 모두, 물 공급 유량 조건과는 상관없이 공기 공급 유량이 40 L/min 이상의 조건에서 소화가 가능하였다. 소화 소요 시간 및 물 소모량의 경우 모든 물 공급 유량 조건에서 공기 공급 유량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이 관찰되었고, 공기 공급 유량이 비교적 많은 영역(예를 들면, 약 50 L/min 이상)에서 소화 소요 시간은 약 23 s, 물 소모량은 약 185 g 이내로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과와 단일유체노즐을 이용한 기존 연구 간 단위 열방출률 당 물 소모량 비교를 통하여, 2유체노즐이 단일유체노즐에 비해 더 적은 물 소모량으로 소화가 가능할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
