In this paper a computation of turbulent natural convection in enclosures with the elliptic-blending based differential and algebraic flux models is presented. The primary emphasis of the study is placed on an investigation of accuracy of the treatment of turbulent heat fluxes with the elliptic-blending second-moment closure for the turbulent natural convection flows. The turbulent heat fluxes in this study are treated by the elliptic-blending based algebraic and differential flux models. The previous turbulence model constants are adjusted to produce accurate solutions. The proposed models are applied to the prediction of turbulent natural convections in a 1:5 rectangular cavity and in a square cavity with conducting top and bottom walls, which are commonly used for validation of the turbulence models. The relative performance between the algebraic and differential flux model is examined through comparing with experimental data. It is shown that both the elliptic-blending based models predict well the mean velocity and temperature, thereby the wall shear stress and Nusselt number. It is also shown that the elliptic-blending based algebraic flux model produces solutions which are as accurate as those by the differential flux model.

This study was performed to determine proper fan and heater management schemes for natural air drying of rough rice in round steel bin with stirring device under Korean weather conditions. A computer simulation model was developed to predict moisture content changes, energy requirements, and drymatter losses during drying of rough rice by natural air. Drying test was conducted to validate the simulation model using round steel bin of holding capacity of 300ton at Rice Processing Complex in Jincheon. The bin was filled with rough rice every day and mixing by stirring device. Moisture contents, ambient air temperatures, relative humidities, static pressures in plenum chamber in the bin, airflow rates, and electrical and fuel energy were measured. Relative errors of moisture content changes predicted by the simulation model were below 5ft, and relative errors of final moisture content, final grain weight, required energy ranged from 0.9% to 6%. These not levels indicated that the simulation model can satisfactorily predict the performance factors of natural air drying system such as drying rates and energr consumptions comparing error level of 10% to 15% in other drying simulation models generally used in dryer desists. Twelve different fan and heater management schemes were evaluated using the computer simulation model based on three hourly weather data from Suweon for the period of 1952-1994. The best management schemes were selected comparing the drymatter losses, required drying times, required energy consumptions. Operating fan without heating only when ambient relative humidity was below 85% or 90% appeared to be the most effective method of In operation in favorable drying weather. Under adverse drying climates or to reduce required drying time, operating fan continuously, and heating air with $1.5^{\circ}C$ temperature rise only when ambient relative humidity was over 85% appeared to be the most suitable method.

A numerical study of a natural convection in a rectangular cavity with the low-Reynolds-number differential stress and flux model is presented. The primary emphasis of the study is placed on the investigation of the accuracy and numerical stability of the low-Reynolds-number differential stress and flux model for a natural convection problem. The turbulence model considered in the study is that developed by Peeters and Henkes (1992) and further refined by Dol and Hanjalic (2001), and this model is applied to the prediction of a natural convection in a rectangular cavity together with the two-layer model, the shear stress transport model and the time-scale bound ν$^2$- f model, all with an algebraic heat flux model. The computed results are compared with the experimental data commonly used for the validation of the turbulence models. It is shown that the low-Reynolds-number differential stress and flux model predicts well the mean velocity and temperature, the vertical velocity fluctuation, the Reynolds shear stress, the horizontal turbulent heat flux, the local Nusselt number and the wall shear stress, but slightly under-predicts the vertical turbulent heat flux. The performance of the ν$^2$- f model is comparable to that of the low-Reynolds-number differential stress and flux model except for the over-prediction of the horizontal turbulent heat flux. The two-layer model predicts poorly the mean vertical velocity component and under-predicts the wall shear stress and the local Nusselt number. The shear stress transport model predicts well the mean velocity, but the general performance of the shear stress transport model is nearly the same as that of the two-layer model, under-predicting the local Nusselt number and the turbulent quantities.

한국 정부는 액화 천연가스를 대체하는 에너지원으로서 러시아의 파이프라인 천연가스 도입을 1990년대 이후부터 지속적으로 모색해오고 있다. 이러한 동북아 에너지 협력에 대한 논의가 현실 정치뿐만 아니라 학술적인 차원에서도 다양하게 진행되고 있지만, 기존의 선행연구들은 협력의 당위성만을 제시하고 있을 뿐이지 이론적 분석틀이 미약하다는 한계를 지니고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 경제통합론이라는 이론적 자원을 바탕으로 에너지협력의 동기 조건 단계를 분석하고자 한다. 연구 결과 동북아 천연가스 협력과 관련해서는 경제적 동기만이 유일하기는 하지만, 실질적인 기대이익뿐만 아니라 경제구조의 보완성과 정책목표의 수렴성이라는 조건들이 갖추어진 것으로 파악되었다. 결론적으로 동북아에서 높은 수준의 에너지 협력은 어렵겠지만 특혜무역협정 수준의 초보적인 천연가스 협력이 가능하다는 전망이 제시될 수 있었다.

This dissertation identifies and investigates the possible control modes of hybrid ventilation system in applying to general apartments. It evaluates range of hybrid ventilation control modes in terms of indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and energy consumption in a living room and a kitchen of the $1000m^2$ apartment. The TRNSYS simulation program was used for evaluating the following four ventilation types : A ventilation mode relying on only infiltration for supplying air, A natural ventilation mode considering with weather condition, A hybrid ventilation (natural + mechanical ventilation) mode allowing minimum ventilation with no heat exchange, and a hybrid ventilation mode with heat exchange. This study shows the following results. As temperature being controlled by heating cooling equipments, there is without significant difference in thermal performance among ventilation types. Regarding Indoor Air quality, Indoor air contamination level of the hybrid ventilation case consistently keep the lower levels. The hybrid ventilation modes consume more energy by a 49% as compared to the A ventilation mode relying on only infiltration for supplying air. It is caused by the continuous ventilation for keeping good indoor air quality; the increase of energy consumption can be attributable to the increase of the heating energy. Therefore, the heat exchange between indoor and outdoor air is required during heating season in severe weather conditions. During the cooling seasons, Introducing natural ventilation can achieve energy saving by 40 ~ 45%. Thus, it can be an effective strategies for energy saving. Based on these results, a hybrid ventilation system can be suggested as an effective ventilation strategy for archiving high level of indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and energy consumption.

Radiation technology (RT) has long been applied in various fields for increasing the safety and shelf-life of foods by controlling pathogen-induced poisoning. RT was introduced for the first time in Korea in the 1950s to eliminate harmful microorganisms in food materials. In the 1980s, RT had been scientifically proven to be effective for the sterilization of food and public health products. In recent years, irradiation with gamma rays has also been used for improving physiological properties through the structural modification of natural molecules, which has been proposed to be applicable to various industries. In particular, radiation transformation technology (RTT), which involves the development of new functional compounds through the molecular conversion of natural biomaterials, is becoming a new high-value technology as a fusion technique of RT and biotechnology. The present reports have suggested that RTT can be an effective tool for the development of new functional compounds and improvement of the physiological activity of biomolecules.
