Owing to an increase in the air tightness of recent buildings, the natural ventilation rate was significantly lowered and the removal of accumulated moisture became difficult in these buildings. The hygrothermal performance of these buildings should be carefully considered to provide comfortable indoor environment by removing the moisture condensation risk and the mold growth potential. In this study, hygrothermal performance of two selected wall structures was investigated based on WUFI simulation program. The results displayed that the indoor temperature had impact on the moisture accumulation in the insulation layer for both modeled walls, showing that lower indoor temperature resulted in higher moisture accumulation, especially in the wood frame structure. Also, the yearly moisture accumulation profile exhibited a downward shift throughout the year by adding a vapour retarder with a lower sd-value. In addition, both of the two walls have condensation risk in winter, due to low temperature level. The wood frame structure has a bigger fluctuation and higher condensation risk than the concrete structure.

In this paper, lysimeter was installed to analyze the moisture fluctuations on the surface of a forest. The weight of the soil was measured, and the moisture fluctuations were calculated through the difference in weight over time. The amount of dew condensation on the surface of the ground was about 2-7 mm. January experienced the most dew condensation (7.2 mm). It was found that about 43 mm of dew condensation was generated over one year. To analyze the characteristics of evapotranspiration in the forest, the evapotranspiration on the surface was measured by the lysimeter method and the evapotranspiration on the upper part of the canopy was measured by the eddy covariance method. These results were compared and analyzed. Until mid-October, the evapotranspiration of the forest was active, and the amount of evapotranspiration on the top of the canopy was higher than the amount on the surface. Thereafter, the amount of evapotranspiration on the top of the canopy decreased due to the lowering of temperature and net-radiation. The amount of evapotranspiration on the surface and above the canopy showed the same tendency.

On purpose to reduce accumulated moisture and to prevent moisture condensation in a light-frame wall, thermal characteristics and moisture behaviors were investigated for four different wall assemblies; a) typical wall, b) addition of vapor retarder between the insulation and the gypsum board, c) addition of air gap for natural ventilation behind the siding, d) composition with b) and c). Each wall was tested under two climate conditions; 1) $20^{\circ}C$, 50% RH (indoor) and $30^{\circ}C$, 85% RH (outdoor), 2) $30^{\circ}C$, 85% RH (indoor) and $20^{\circ}C$, 50% RH (outdoor).The results showed that the typical wall assembly had poor resistance against moisture intrusion from the inside of building. Outdoor and indoor humidity caused the moisture condensations on the inside of the siding and the back surface of the sheathing respectively. The addition of a vapor retarder did not give significant improvement in preventing the moisture intrusion.

Moisture condensation leading to defects that occur repeatedly in the winter, and recognize the same method, the problem of the other buildings in the same area again and again, a vicious cycle that occurs due to the temporary lack of systematic research and processing way of coping has been recurring. In this study, as warming progresses, more inside the air-conditioned summer season due to an increase in the ambient temperature of the condensation phenomenon to happen about summer wall condensation phenomena are expected to analyze the case of a building to prevent condensation and for insulation designs are proposed.

Numerical simulations have been carried out for a supersonic two-dimensional flow over open, rectangular cavities (length-to-depth ratios are L/D = 1.0) in order to investigate the effect of non-equilibrium condensation of moist air on supersonic flows around the cavity for the flow Mach number 1.83 at the cavity entrance. In the present computational investigation, a condensing flow was produced by an expansion of moist air in a Laval nozzle. The results obtained showed that in the case with non-equilibrium condensation for L/D = 1.0, amplitudes of oscillation in the cavity became smaller than those without the non-equilibrium condensation. Furthermore, the occurrence of the non-equilibrium condensation reduced the peaks of power spectrum density and the frequency of the flow field oscillation increased in comparison with the case of $S_0$ = 0.

느타리버섯 수출력 증진방안을 모색하기 위하여 선적전 고농도 $CO_2$ 및 흡습지 처리가 모의 수출과정에서 버섯의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수출과정의 온도 변화는 표장용기 내부에 응축수를 만들어 품질을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 되며 흡습지는 경도 유지, 갈변 예방 등에서 효과적이었다. 그러나 모의소매과정에서의 고온($15^{\circ}C$) 노출은 그 효과를 크게 감소시켰다. 선적전 고농도의 $CO_2$ 처리는 경도에 대한 영향은 뚜렷하지 않았지만 버섯의 색택변화를 지연시켰다. 총당, 페놀 등 내적성분은 처리간 일정한 경향을 보이지 않았다. 전반적 수출잠재력은 현행 수출용 규격인 작은 버섯에서 높았다. 수출용 버섯의 품질저하는 포장용기내 응축수 발생과 온도변화의 영향을 크게 받아 이를 개선하기 위한 노력이 필요하다.

Polychloroprene rubber was moisture-cured after treating them with silane coupling agents such as 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane(MPS), 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane(MAS) and vinyltriethoxysilane(VES), especially MPS. The cure reaction is composed of two steps. The first is the reaction between chlorine atoms of CR and silane coupling agents. The second is the formation of cross-links which are siloxane linkage. The linkage is formed by the condensation of silanol groups which are produced by the hydrolysis of alkoxysilyl groups. The first reaction was kinetically studied and the reactivity of CR to silane coupling agents was determined in previous literature. Crosslinking density and mechanical properties of the moisture-cured elastomer filled with silica or non-filled were studied and the feasibility of this cure system was discussed.

The authors developed a nodal network model that simulates the flow of moist air and the thermal behavior of a target area. The nodal network model was enhanced using a parameter estimation technique based on the measured temperature, humidity, and schedule data. However, the nodal model is not good enough for predicting humidity of the target space, having 55.6% of CVRMSE. It is because re-evaporation effect could not be modeled due to uncertain factors in the field measurement. Hence, a data-driven model was introduced using an artificial neural network (ANN). It was found that the data-driven model is suitable for predicting the condensation compared to the nodal model satisfying ASHRAE Guideline with 3.36% of CVRMSE for temprature, relative humidity, and surface temperature on average. The model will be embedded in automated devices for real-time predictive control, to minimize the risk of surface condensation at dressroom in an apartment housing.

건물에너지 저감에 효과적으로 기여하는 건축 재료를 이용하는 목조주택을 기반으로 단열 성능이 향상되고 있다. 그러나 고단열 고기밀화로 인한 습기 제어가 어려워져 외벽의 결로 및 곰팡이 발생으로 인하여 성능이 저하될 수 있다. 이에 열 습기 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 선정한 5가지 형태의 목조주택 외벽의 열 습기 성능, 결로 발생 및 곰팡이 성장 위험을 평가하였다. 목조주택은 농촌주택 표준설계도 '10과 '14, $2^{{\prime}{\prime}}{\times}6^{{\prime}{\prime}}$형, EIFS 그리고 목조형 패시브 하우스로 선정하였고, 각 벽체 레이어를 구성에 따라 벽 A, B, C, D, E로 구분하였다. 벽체의 열관류율은 각각 0.171, 0.172, 0.221, 0.150, $0.079W/m^2K$이다. 벽 A와 C의 OSB 절대함수량은 기준치 20%를 초과하는 값이 나타났고, 결로 평가를 통하여 단열재 내부 표면에서 겨울철에 결로가 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 벽 D와 E는 외단열 벽체로 다른 벽체에 비하여 함수량 평가와 결로 평가에서 우수한 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 곰팡이 성장 위험 평가에서 5가지 형태의 벽체 모두 곰팡이 성장 위험성이 있음을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 외벽의 열 습기 성능의 차이는 열적 성능에 의한 발생보다는 레이어 구성에 따른 차이가 발생하는 것으로 판단되었다. 모든 벽체는 비슷한 열적 성능을 가지고 있으나 레이어에 따라 동일한 조건에서의 적합성이 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

Presence of water in the lubricating oils could be one of the first indicators of potentially expensive and possibly catastrophic failure of the machine as it may cause displace the oil films to prevent the lubrication function of the oil or chemically react with many oil additives resulting in the oil degradation. In order to detect water content quantitatively in lubricating oils many methods and sensors has been developed. Among these, capacitive sensors including sensitive layer, whose dielectric factor changes according to the water content absorbed in the layer, are proposed mainly in the market. But these sensors are not sensitive to a high water content. Besides, the absorbing layer soils in time. In this work, an evaporation of water moisture from oil into air volume above lubricant surface and condensation of water vapor at a cooling surface was used to measure water content quantitatively in an lubricating oil. Laboratory test results of a prototype sensor were presented. Test results showed that the proposed method could be avaliable to measure a low levels of oil moisture.
