진공관형 태양열 집열기에서는 열관(heat pipe)과 붕규산염 유리관의 안정된 접합이 이를 장시간 사용하는데 매우 중요하다. 구리와 유리는 그 물리.화학적 성질에 큰 차이가 있어 접합하기가 어려움으로 구리관 표면에 유리와 화학적 결합이 용이한 산화막을 생성시켜 접합하도록 구리의 산화상태, 접합계면 및 접합강도를 XRD, SEM, EDS 및 인정시험기로 측정하였다. 순수 구리는 $600^{\circ}C$ 이하로 열처리하였을 때 Cu$_2$O 산화막을 생성하였으나 그 이상의 온도에서는 CuO 산화막을 형성하였으며 후자의 산화막은 구리와의 접합력이 매우 불량하였다. 그러나 붕사로 표면 처리를 하였을 경우에는 80$0^{\circ}C$에서도 Cu$_2$O 산화막 만이 발견되었다. Cu$_2$O 산화막을 생성시킨 구리관과 붕규산염 유리관을 Housekeeper법으로 접합하였을 경우 354.4N의 접합강도를 얻을 수 있었으며 열충격 저항성도 매우 뛰어났다.

This is an experimental work concerning about an application of a heat pipe to an evacuated-glass-tube solar collector system. A methanol heat pipe with length of 0.7 m and diameter of 8 mm was manufactured and tested to compare its performance with that of freon thermosyphon which was originally used in a solar collector system fabricated at Thermomax Co.. Then this methanol heat pipe was utilized to be one component, i.e. heat transfer element, of the present experimental model of a solar collector. This model was performed the operation test as its absorber plate was irradiated by infrared lamps. The following results were obtained. (1) The methanol heat pipe was showed a stable operation when the variation of axial heat transport was $0{\sim}40$ watts and that of inclination angle was $30{\sim}90^{\circ}$. (2) The heat transport capability of the heat pipe was proved to be higher than that of the thermosyphon, because the heat transport limitation of the latter was occured at about 30 watt. (3) The heat pipe in a solar collector was also showed good performance as it transmitted absorbed energy.

This work has been carried out to find the ideal operating conditions for solar vacuum tube collectors which are widely used at present. Various types of solar collectors including a flat plate one were experimentally tested and examined to determine their thermal efficiencies and operating characteristics. Generally, solar vacuum tubes can be classified into two groups according to their design features. Of these, one is characterized by the insertion of a metallic device(such as a finned heat pipe) in an evacuated glass tube for the collection and transportation of solar energy. The other utilizes double glass tubes where the smaller one is contained inside the bigger one and soldered to each other after the small gap between them is evacuated. Both of these solar collectors are designed to minimize convection heat losses by removing the air which is in direct contact with the absorber surface. The performance of the former type can be readily analyzed by applying the relevant correlations developed for flat plate solar collectors. This has been demonstrated in the present study for the case of a solar collector where a heat pipe is inserted in an evacuated tube.

Cylindrical parabolic solar concentrators of small concentration ratio are attractive options for working temperatures around $120^{\circ}C$. The heat gained can be utilized in many applications such as air conditioning, space heating, heating water and many others. These collectors can be easily manufactured and do not need to track the sun continuously. Using a heat pipe as a solar absorber makes the system more compact and easy to install. This study is devoted to modeling a system of cylindrical parabolic solar concentrators of small concentration ratio (around 5) fitted with a heat pipe absorber with a porous wick. The heat pipe is surrounded by evacuated glass tube to reduce thermal losses from the heat pipe. The liquid and vapor flow equations, energy equation, the internal and external boundary conditions were taken into consideration. The system of equations was solved and the numerical results were validated against available experimental and numerical results. The validated heat pipe model was inserted in an evacuated transparent glass tube as the absorber of the cylindrical parabolic collector. A calculation procedure was developed for the system, a computer program was developed and tested and numerical simulations were realized for the whole system. An experimental solar collector of small concentration, fitted with evacuated tube heat pipe absorber was constructed and instrumented. Experiments were realized with the concentrator axis along the E-W direction. Results of the instantaneous efficiency and heat gain were compared with numerical simulations realized under the same conditions and reasonably good agreement was found.

Fiber Glass Tube(FGT) 또는 steel pipe를 이용한 터널막장의 수평보강공법 그리고 강관다단공법 등은 터널 굴착시 터널막장의 안정성이 확보되지 못할 경우에 흔히 사용된다. 그러나 이러한 공법이 사용된 터널의 역학적 거동은 아직 충분히 알려진 바가 없으며, 따라서 설계와 전산해석 과정에서 경험에 의존하는 경우가 많고 공법의 합리적인 적용이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 복합체 역학을 이용한 보강공법의 전산해석 단순화 방법의 적용성을 검증하였고, 강화지반의 등가탄성계수는 평균장 이론과 변형률 에너지 이론을 사용하여 도출하였다. 다양한 보강패턴에 따른 터널막장의 거동에 관한 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다.

The performances of solar collectors with single and double evacuated tube were experimentally compared. The solar collector with single evacuated tube using surface treatment in this study consists of radiation fin, heat pipe, absorber plate, glass tube, cap and regulating valve, and so on. Surface treatment was conducted for heat pipe and absorber plate with black chrome plating and copper black coating. As the results, the performance of solar collector with single evacuated tube using surface treatment showed good results compared that of double evacuated tube. Absorber plate played a positive role in performance and showed increase of about 28%. Further performance depends on vacuum degree and vacuum degree has to be considered economical efficiency in solar collector.

Chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) 조사를 위한 지하수 시료 채취 방법 중 cold-welded copper tube method(구리관법)과 flame-sealed borosilicate glass ampule method(유리앰퓰법)의 두 방법을 비교하고 검토하였다. 구리관법에 의해 채취된 시료의 CFCs 농도는 중복시료간에 재현성이 불량한 반면, 유리앰퓰법은 상대표준오차가 5％ 이내로 좋은 재현성을 보여주었다. 이것은 구리관법을 적용할 때, 관정의 출수구와 구리관의 연결의 밀봉성이 좋지 않았기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 또한 구리관법에 의한 CFCs 농도는 전체적으로 유리앰퓰에 의한 값보다 높았으며 이러한 특징은 CFC-11이 CFC-12보다 더 두드러졌다. 구리관법의 경우에 플라스틱 관이나 관정에 설치된 출수구에 포함된 고무 패킹 등이 시료를 CFCs로 오염시켰을 것으로 평가된다. 유리앰퓰법을 적용했을 때에는 이러한 가능성을 제거하기 위해 stainless steel과 nylon 재질만을 이용하고, 시료채취장비를 관정의 주배수관에 직접 연결하였다. 인위적인 공급원에 의한 CFCs가 없을 것으로 예상되는 시료에서 유리앰퓰법에 의해 매우 낮은 수준의 CFCs농도가 측정됨으로써 이 시료채취과정의 유효성이 검증되었다.

The sealing technique between a glass tube and a copper heat pipe in an evacuated tube solar collector is studied. In this study two different sealing techniques, such as flame method and furnace firing, are examined. After the sealing of a copper to a glass, the oxidation state of the copper and its bonding morphology were examined by SEM and XRD. Its oxidation was retarded by coating of borate solution on the copper, and $Cu_2O(cuprite)$ turned into CuO(tenorite) with increase in a firing temperature and firing time. Porous structure was found in the oxide layer when CuO formed. The best sealing morphology was observed when the thickness of the oxidation layer was less than $20{\mu}m$. The sealing technique performed in a furnace was promising and the satisfactory result was obtained when the sample was fired at $950^{\circ}C$ for 5 min under $N_2$ atmosphere. Annealing procedure is recommended to remove the stress left at the bonding zone.

철근 콘크리트 구조물에서 발생하는 균열에 의한 손상은 과도한 하중이나 사용성에 의해 발생한다. 이러한 손상을 검사하는 방법으로 육안으로 확인하거나 비파괴 시험법을 주로 이용하고 있다. 후자의 경우, 콘크리트 내부 철근의 배근 방향성에 의해 균열에 의한 손상인지 판별하기 어려운 문제가 발생하게 되며, 비파괴시험(Non-destructive Test)에 사용되는 대부분의 센서(Sensor)는 1축 가속도 센서이기 때문에 중첩된 전달파를 분석하기에는 어렵다. 따라서, 이를 해결하기 위해 중공 유리관을 이용하였고 콘크리트 보 내부에 매입하여 철근이 매입되어 있는 경우에 대하여 3축 가속도계를 이용하여 탄성파로 가진 하였을 경우에 발생하는 파(Wave)를 비교 분석하였다.
