Recently, mixers are being widely used in the water purification plant in order to increase the filtration efficiency. The mixer normally consists of impeller, shaft, hub, reduction gear, and the driving motor. It is one of the key design issues to confirm that the vibration caused by the rotation of the shaft should not coincide with the natural vibration frequency of the shaft itself. The vibration characteristics of the hydrofoil type mixer, which is the most widely used in real plants are evaluated through the finite element modeling and verified by experiment using the mock-up facility. The fundamental natural frequency of the mixer's shaft is found to be around 1.8 Hz which showed in good agreement with the experiment. The higher natural frequencies to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th modes are also verified by the experiment. Thus the developed model is to be utilized for the structural design of the real mixer system.

In this study, we built a mock-up of an indoor garden for private use and vertical gardens were installed on the walls of this indoor garden model. The purpose of this study is to examine the types of plants for best fit for growth and nurture in vertical garden and to identify the effects of indoor air quality improvement by these plants. As the result of the experiment, 22 species out of 32 species previously used for indoor garden was selected to be suitable for vertical gardens of a personal indoor garden. 10 species were found to be inappropriate for a personal indoor garden in terms of ornamental value, growth status and maintenance. The effect of plants on reducing CO2 has been proven by many studies. Also, through photosynthesis, plants combine CO2 with water and produce sugars and O2 (oxygen). Everyone accepts this fact. In nature, the production of oxygen is so important that without plants we would soon use it up and die. From the NASA Fact Sheet we know that air contains 20.95% O2 and 0.04% CO2. If you had enough plants in a room to use up all of the all of CO2 and convert it to oxygen, the oxygen levels would increase from 20.95% to 21%. This increase is difficult to detect and would have no effect on humans.

건축 실내의 조명환경의 쾌적성을 평가하는 것은 주로 불쾌감을 유발하는 글레어의 정도를 인식하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 현재 국외에서 연구된 불쾌글레어를 평가하기 위한 실험식을 그대로 적용하기에는 글레어의 감각을 느끼는 정도가 인종에 따라 크게 다르게 나타나기 때문에 무리가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국인의 시각적인 특성에 맞는 합리적인 불쾌글레어 평가를 위한 예측식을 작성하는 것을 최종목표로 하였으며 다음과 같이 4단계로 연구를 진행하였다. 첫째, 기존의 불쾌글레어 평가식에 대한 검토를 통해 실험변인들을 선정하였다. 둘째, 본 연구의 목적에 맞는 실험변인과 조건을 제어할 수 있는 실물대모형을 제작하였다. 셋째, 불쾌글레어 평가실험을 실시하였다. 최종적으로, 선행연구에서 서양인을 대상으로 제안된 UGR평가법과의 비교분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면, 1)불쾌글레어는 광원휘도, 배경휘도, 피험자와 시선의 위치 등에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 2)실내 불쾌글레어 평가에서 광원과 피험자간의 거리보다 시야내에 글레어 광원이 위치하는 지의 여부가 더 중대한 영향을 미쳤다. 3)대표적인 불쾌글레어 평가시스템인 UGR과 비교 분석한 결과 다소 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 한국인의 불쾌글레어감이 서양인과 차이가 있다는 것을 보여준다.

Vibration characteristics of a fuel rod to be used in KALIMER(Korean Advanced LIquid MEtal Reactor) have been estimated through 3-dimensional finite element analysis and verified by experiment. The fundamental natural frequencies are found to be 6㎐ in air and 2.5㎐ in water. respectively. It has been found that in-water natural frequencies of the fuel rod are lower than in-air ones due to the added mass effect of the fluid filled inside the outer cylinder and they further decreases as the gap between the fuel rod and the outer cylinder increases, namely the added mass effect increases as the gap increases(maximum 54%). It has been also shown that the mass of the wire wrap axially coiled around the fuel rod do not affect the natural frequencies.

Three-dimensional structures of a vortical flow field and heat transfer characteristics in a partially blocked 7-pin fuel assembly mock-up of sodium-cooled fast reactor have been investigated through a numerical analysis using a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, ANSYS CFX. The simulation with the SST turbulence model agrees well with the experimental data of outlet and cladding wall temperatures. From the analysis on the limiting streamline at the wall, multi-scale vortexes developed in axial direction were found around the blockage. The vortex core has a high cladding wall temperature, and the attachment line has a low cladding wall temperature. The small-scale vortex structures significantly enhance the convective heat transfer because it increases the turbulent mixing and the turbulence kinetic energy. The large-scale vortex structures supply thermal energy near the heated cladding wall surface. It is expected that control of the vortex structures in the fuel assembly plays a significant role in the convective heat transfer enhancement. Furthermore, the blockage plate and grid spacer increase the pressure drop to about 36% compared to the bare case.

The state-of-the-art of low-noise fan design usually includes the consideration of optimal sound level and sound quality. The influential design parameters of the noise level by the centrifugal fan were selected based on the preliminary test. The centrifugal fans were designed according to the experiment plan method by specifying the selected design parameters. The experiment with these machined mock-up's of centrifugal impellers suggested the major design parameters among many, having impacts upon the indices of sound quality (e.g. loudness, sharpness, roughness and fluctuation strength) at the same operation point. With the response surface method, the major design parameters selected thereafter were analyzed to estimate each contribution upon the sound quality of the centrifugal fan, and the optimal values were drawn by the consideration of the sound quality levels and their regression equations. In addition, the validity of the regression equations was numerically verified by means of the coefficient of determination. Furthermore, the mechanism by which the centrifugal fan impeller influences the determinants of its sound quality was suggested.

A window increases the lighting quality of a space by allowing daylight into the space, and maintains visual contact with the outside. Moreover, the window with a preferred view provides many benefits such as psychological satisfaction, occupants' health and improved environmental quality. This study aimed to investigate how view elements and window luminance influence occupants' seating preference in a living room. The experiment was carried out in a mock-up model with thirty-two subjects (17 men and 15 women). The nine seating positions in a living room have different view such as natural view (trees or sky) and man-made view (paving and roof top). Subjects were asked to select a position in the room where they felt most visual comfort. Simultaneously Photolux 2.1 software was used to analyze the window luminance. The experiment results indicated that subjects prefer to be seated near a window and feel comfort in a seating overlooking the trees and sky. This would indicate that the natural elements of the view and a distance to the window affect seating preference to the occupants.
