본 연구에서는 간접식 증발냉각 장치의 냉각 성능을 예측하고 다양한 공기 유량 및 물 분무 유량 조건을 만족하는 성능 상관식을 제안한다. 기존의 플라스틱 열교환기는 공조 공간의 크기에 따라 금형을 새로 제작해야 하기 때문에 높은 효율에도 불구하고 잘 사용하지 않았다. 한편 단프라시트는 일반적으로 두께가 얇아 열교환이 우수하고, 특히 제작이 매우 용이하다. 따라서 열교환기를 단프라시트로 제작할 경우 금형이 별도로 필요하지 않아 열교환기 제작 비용을 크게 절감할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 단프라시트로 다채널 열교환기를 제작하여 간접식 증발냉각 장치를 제작하였다. 성능 실험장치는 열교환기, 물 분사 노즐, 터보홴, 항온조, 순환 펌프, 온도 센서, 습도 센서, 차압식 유량계 및 자료획득 장치로 구성하였다. 증발냉각 시 공기 유량이 증가하면 유용도가 감소하였고, 수공비에 따라 유용도 최적점이 존재하였다. 등온 조건에서 냉각 성능을 예측하는 상관식과 실내 환기 온도와 외기 상태를 반영하는 성능 상관식을 제안하였다. 상관식들의 냉각 성능 오차는 4 % 이내였다.

This paper presents a methodology for satisfying the thermal comfort of Indoor environment and reducing the summer peak demand power by minimizing the power consumption for an Air-conditioner within a space. KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) use the fixed duty cycle control method regardless of the indoor thermal environment. This method has disadvantages that energy saying depends on the set-point value of the Air-Conditioner and DLC has no net effects on Air-conditioners if the appliance has a lower operating cycle than the fixed duty cycle. A variable duty cycle estimates the PMV(Predict Mean Vote) at the next step with a predicted temperature and humidity coming from the back propagation neural network model. It is possible to reduce the energy consumption by maintaining the Air-conditioner's OFF state when the PMV lies in the thermal comfort range. The proposed methodology uses the historical real data of Sep. 7th, 2001 from a classroom in seoul to verify the effectiveness of the variable duty cycle method comparing with fixed duty cycle. The result shows that the variable duty cycle reduces the peak demand to 2.6times more than fixed duty cycle and increases the load control ratio by 8% more. Based on the variable duty cycle control algorithm, the effectiveness of DLC is much more improved as compared with the fixed duty cycle.

본 연구는 경남지역 내 소나무 장령림이 안정적으로 생육하고 있는 사찰 소나무림을 대상으로 온도 및 습도의 미기상 변화 특성과 식생분포특성을 비교하여 소나무장령림의 미기후 조절정도를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구는 국내에서 소나무 장령림의 안정적 생육지로 알려진 합천 해인사, 부산 범어사, 양산 통도사 및 경주 불국사 일대 소나무림을 대상으로 하였다. 식생분포 현황 분석결과 이들 소나무림은 알려진 바와는 달리 소나무림의 면적비율이 월등히 높지는 않았는데, 통도사 주변을 제외하면 소나무림보다 낙엽활엽수림 및 혼효림의 우점비율이 훨씬 높게 나타나고 있었다. 미기상데이터 측정 결과 통도사는 다른 세 지역과는 달리 미기후 특성이 크게 차이가 있었는데, 다른 세 지역의 경우 온도 및 습도의 일교차가 상대적으로 적은 반면 통도사는 일교차가 크게 나타나는 현상을 보였다. 이는 통도사 주변 숲이 개발지를 제외하면 대부분 소나무림인 반면, 다른 세 지역은 낙엽활엽수림의 우점비율이 높은데 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 소나무림의 적극적 관리는 온도상승과 공중습도의 감소에 효과적이지 않은 만큼 현재 양산 통도사 주변 소나무림과 같이 소나무 단순림으로의 적극적인 관리는 오히려 온도와 습도 스트레스 측면에서 부정적 영향이 더욱 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 소나무림의 미기후 완화 효과 증대를 위해서는 숲 관리의 새로운 전환이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

According to a study on improving ship survivability, an IR signature represents the contrast radiance intensity between the radiation signature from a ship and the background signature. It was found from applying stealth techniques to the process of ship development that the IR signature is remarkably sensitive and dependent on the environment. In this study, marine climate data for the sea near the Korean Peninsula were collected, and the marine meteorological environment in Korean waters was defined. Based on this data, a study on the sensitivity of the IR signature of target objects was performed using analytical methods. The results of the research indicated that clouds have important effects on the infrared signature, but the velocity of the wind and the humidity have only slight effects on the IR signature. In addition, the air and seawater temperatures had hardly any effect on the IR signature, but it is judged that additional study is needed.

A heat exchanger analysis is performed to investigate the heating characteristics of cryogenic nitrogen by ambient air for the purpose of cryogenic automotive propulsion. The heat exchanger is a concentric triple-passage for supercritical nitrogen, and the radial fins are attached on the outermost tube for the crossflow of ambient air. The temperature distribution is calculated for the nitrogen along the passage, including the real gas properties of nitrogen, the fluid convections and the conductions through the tube walls and the fins. Since the wall temperature of the outer (ambient side) tube is very low in most cases, a heavy frost can be formed on the surface, affecting the heat exchange performance. By the method of the similarity between the heat and the mass transfer of moist air, the frost growth and the time-dependent effectiveness of the heat exchanger are calculated for various operating conditions. It is concluded that the frost formation can augment the heating of nitrogen during the initial period because of the latent heat, then gradually degrades the heat exchange because of the increased thermal resistance. Practical design issues are discussed for the flow rate of nitrogen, the velocity and humidity of ambient air, and the sizes of the fin.

This study was to determine the effect of cooling parts of the limbs without harm to health. The results provide basic data for the development of clothing which could increase work efficiency and reduce body strain in hot environments. Five male adults took part in the study, conducted in a climate chamber with an ambient temperature of $37^{\circ}C$ and a relative humidity of 50%. The limbs were divided into six areas to be cooled: upper arm, forearm, thigh, calf, hand, and foot. According to preceding studies, permissible cooling safety limits of skin temperature for each part of the body for one-hour were $20^{\circ}C$ on the upper arm, forearm, thigh, and calf, and $23^{\circ}C$ on the hand and foot. For this reason, cooling the skin of each region was carried out at the above mentioned temperatures. In conclusion, cooling the hand and foot reduced perspiration, rectal temperature and heart rate. Therefore, the heat stress of workers exposed to hot environments would be reduced by decreased subjective sensations of heat and increased comfort. The effectiveness of cooling was better on the arm than on the leg.

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) have been installed in many high-rise buildings, to improve their resiliency under dynamic loads. However, high-rise buildings may experience natural frequency changes under ambient temperature fluctuations, extreme wind loads and relative humidity variations. This makes the design of a TMD challenging and may lead to a detuned scenario, which can reduce significantly the performance. To alleviate this problem, the current paper presents a proposed approach for the design of a robust and efficient TMD. The approach accounts for the uncertain natural frequency, the optimization objective and the input excitation. The study shows that robust design parameters can be different from the optimal parameters. Nevertheless, predetermined optimal parameters are useful to attain design robustness. A case study of a high-rise building is executed. The TMD designed with the proposed approach showed its robustness and effectiveness in reducing the responses of high-rise buildings under multidirectional wind. The case study represents an engineered design that is instructive. The results show that shear buildings may be controlled with less effort than cantilever buildings. Structural control performance in high-rise buildings may depend on the shape of the building, hence the flow patterns, as well as the wind direction angle. To further increase the performance of the robust TMD in one lateral direction, active control using LQG and fuzzy logic controllers was carried out. The performance of the controllers is remarkable in enhancing the response reduction. In addition, the fuzzy logic controller may be more robust than the LQG controller.

This paper presents a novel method for satisfying the thermal comfort of indoor environment and reducing the summer peak demand power by minimizing the power consumption for an Air-conditioner within a space. Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) use the fixed duty cycle control method regardless of the indoor thermal environment. However, this method has disadvantages that energy saving depends on the set-point value of the Air-Conditioner and direct load control (DLC) has no net effects on Air-conditioners if the appliance has a lower operating cycle than the fixed duty cycle. In this paper, the variable duty cycle control method is proposed in order to compensate the weakness of conventional fixed duty cycle control method and improve the satisfaction of residents and the reduction of peak demand. The proposed method estimates the predict mean vote (PMV) at the next step with predicted temperature and humidity using the back propagation neural network model. It is possible to reduce the energy consumption by maintaining the Air-conditioner's OFF state when the PMV lies in the thermal comfort range. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed variable duty cycle control method, the case study is performed using the historical data on Sep. 7th, 2001 acquired at a classroom in Seoul and the obtained results are compared with the fixed duty cycle control method.

The effectiveness with which evaporative cooling can be used in Korea was analysed by making use of weather data of 15cities in a past decade. In ASHRAE comfort chart for a still air atmospheric condition was divided into two dimensional array, 14 zones by effective temperature and 10 zones by relative humidity, and all hours of weather condition in those zones were. computed from every 4 hours weather data in a past decade. From this computation obtained were for 15 cities : 1. average annual total hours above $23^{\circ}C$ ET 2. effective temperatures with $5\%$ excess factor, and 3. ratios of all hours in wet (above $25.6^{\circ}C$ WBT), intermediate $(22^{\circ}C\;to\;25.6^{\circ}C\;WBT)$, and dry $(below\;22^{\circ}C\;WBT)$ area to total hours in whole area on comfort chart beyond $23^{\circ}C$ ET to effective temperature of $5\%$ excess factor. It was shown from this computational result that in Korea evaporative cooling was not effective for building and residential comfort air conditioning but could be useful for comfort air conditioning in industry and industrial air conditioning, depending upon the air stream velocity and the type of application.
