Radiant floor heating systems with capillary tubes are energy saving systems in which hot water is circulated into capillary tube with a small diameter. In this study, the heating performance of capillary tube system is investigated in an experimental study and a simulation model. The results of the study showed that, the capillary tube radiant floor heating system maintains a more stable floor surface temperature in comparison a PB pipe system. In terms of energy consumption, the capillary tube radiant floor heating system proved to be more efficient than the PB pipe heating system at $40^{\circ}C$ of low temperature hot water supply. The difference between water temperature and room temperature can be held low for heating which saves energy. Low temperature radiant floor heating system with capillary tubes have significant advantages such as health improvement, low energy cost, optimum use of heat source(boiler) and higher operational efficiency.

In this paper, the optimal heating pattern of the furnace is sought to reduce the unnecessary energy loss. A finite difference method was used to estimate the transient temperature field of the billet in a furnace. Heat conduction equations were used in the interior nodes of the billet, while energy balances for conduction, convection, and radiation were considered in the boundary nodes. Several heating patterns for the furnace were tested and subsequently compared each other. The results showed that the temperature in the preheating zone should be set to relatively low. The temperature distributions of the billet are quite different from each other when different heating pattern are used, even though the heating patterns have the same amount of energy consumption. It reveals that there exists an optimal heating pattern to save the energy loss.

This study is about heat island as one of the urban climate variation factors in urbanized modern society, which compared and observed the thermal characteristics both the downtown location and the outskirt site in summer. The diurnal air temperature range at each point is $12.6^{\circ}C$ in the downtown location and $14.3^{\circ}C$ in the outskirt site, so, it was found that the diurnal air temperature range in the outskirt site was $1.7^{\circ}C$ higher than in the downtown location. There was 20 minutes difference to reach the highest temperature between globe temperature and air temperature in the downtown location, however, the time spent to reach the highest temperature between globe temperature and air temperature in the outskirt site was the same. When we compared the globe temperature between the downtown location and outskirt site, we found that the temperature in the outskirt site was lower than in the downtown location after sunset due to the sudden temperature drops, although the exposed time to insolation in the outskirt site is longer. The average of globe temperature difference on the sample days was $1.1^{\circ}C$, the average of surface temperature difference on the sample days was $1.0^{\circ}C$, and the average of air temperature difference on the sample days was $2.0^{\circ}C$ Thus, it was found that the average of air temperature difference was higher than the average of globe temperature and the average of surface temperature. The result of this study is that the urban environment factors have more effect on the air temperature difference than globe temperature and surface temperature.

현재 산업현장의 가스 안전관리는 접촉식은 LDAR(Leak Detection and Repair), 비접촉식은 레이저 메탄검지기와 IR 카메라를 사용하고 있다. LDAR 방식은 전체 관리를 하는데 많은 인력과 소요시간이 들고, 관리자가 측정을 위해 가까이 접근해야 하므로 안전의 위협을 받을 수 있어 비접촉식이 더 효율적이다. 비접촉식에서 IR(infrared)을 이용한 가스 측정 방안에 대한 연구가 주목받고 있다. 산업 가스 중 메탄가스를 활용하여 측정 거리에 따라 가스 분출량을 변화시켜 OGI(optical gas image)를 촬영하였다. 본 논문은 가스의 배경온도차이가 OGI 의 선명도에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위한 실험이다. OGI를 통해 가스의 구름모형을 정확하고, 선명하게 보기 위하여 배경온도 조절판을 제작하였다. 배경온도 조절판을 통해 배경온도와 대기온도 차이가 ${\Delta}T0^{\circ}C$일 때 보다 ${\Delta}T-6^{\circ}C$ 차이의 낮은 온도 조건으로 OGI 촬영을 한 결과가 육안을 확인하였을 때 더 선명한 차이가 나타났다. 선명도 차이의 객관성을 부여하기 위하여 추가로 MATLAB 의 RGB 분석법으로 확인한 결과, ${\Delta}T$가 $-6^{\circ}C$ 일 경우 RGB 값의 수치가 약 20% 낮게 나왔다. 배경온도가 대기온도보다 $-6^{\circ}C$ 낮을 때 더 선명하게 보이는 것은 총 복사법칙으로 설명이 가능하다. 가스의 배경온도가 대기온도에 비해 낮게 될 때 OGI 렌즈로 들어오는 가스의 복사에너지가 증가되어 가스가 더 선명하게 보이게 된다.

In the present work, the numerical model was refined to predict the thermal analysis of energy storage in a fixed beds during (charging ,storing, discharging) mode. The governing energy equations of both fluid and the solid particles along with their initial and boundary conditions are derived using a two-phase, one dimensional model. The refined model is carried out by taking into account change of (air density , air specific heat) with air temperature and also by taking into considerations heat losses from bed to surrounding. Finite difference method was used to obtain solution of two governing energy equations of both fluid and solid particles through a computer program especially constructed for this purpose. The temperature field for the air and the solid are obtained, also efficiency of energy stored inside the bed is computed. Finally using refined model the effect of air flow rate per unit area Ga (0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 kg/$m^2$-s), and inlet air temperature (200, 250, 300 $^{\circ}C$) on energy storage characteristics was studied in three mode ( charging ,storing, discharging). The rock particles of diameter 1 em is used as bed material in this research.

해양온도차발전용 유기랭킨사이클은 해양의 표층수와 심층수사이의 온도차를 이용하여 발전하는 사이클이다. 작동유체는 유기랭킨사이클의 열역학적 성능에 있어 중요한 요소이다. 유기랭킨사이클의 열역학적 분석방법으로 핀치포인트분석이 있다. 본 연구는 열교환기내 핀치포인트온도차의 변화와 열원 및 열침의 출구온도의 변화에 따른 열역학적 성능분석을 수행하였다. 핀치포인트분석법에 따라 설계한 해양온도차발전용 단순랭킨사이클에 7종의 단일 작동유체를 적용하여 열역학적 성능을 분석하였다. 성능분석결과 열교환기에서 핀치포인트온도차와 열원 및 열침의 온도변화가 작을수록 사이클 총 비가역성 및 총 엑서지 파괴인자가 감소하였으며, 제2법칙 효율은 상승하였다. 또한 비가역성은 열역학적 변화가 발생한 곳에서 크게 변화하였다. RE245fa2는 선정한 작동유체 중에서 가장 우수한 열역학적 성능을 보여주었으며, 모든 작동유체의 성능은 유사하였다. 열교환기 및 작동유체 선정에 있어 열역학적 성능과 함께 다양한 요소들에 대해서도 엄밀한 이론적 근거가 필요하다.

The concept of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is simple and various types of OTEC have been proposed and tried. However the location of OTEC is limited because OTEC requires $20^{\circ}C$ of temperature difference as a minimum, so most of OTEC plants were constructed and experimented in tropical oceans. To solve this we proposed the modified OTEC which uses condenser discharged thermal energy of existing fossil or nuclear power plants. We call this system CTEC (Condenser Thermal Energy Conversion) as this system directly uses $32^{\circ}C$ partially saturated steam in condenser instead of $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ surface sea water as heat source. Increased temperature difference can improve thermal efficiency of Rankine cycle, but CTEC should be located near existing plant condenser and the length of cold water pipe between CTEC and deep cold sea water also increase. So friction loss also increases. Calculated result shows the change of efficiency, pumping power, net power and other parameters of modeled 7.9 MW CTEC at given condition. The calculated efficiency of CTEC is little larger than that of typical OTEC as expected. By proper location and optimization, CTEC could be considered another competitive renewable energy system.

We employ a three-dimensional indirect boundary element method (BEM) to simulate temperature change around an underground liquefied natural gas storage cavern. The indirect BEM (IBEM) uses fictitious heat source strength on boundary elements as basic variables which are solved from equations of boundary conditions and then used to compute the temperature change at other points in the considered problem domain. The IBEM requires evaluation of singular integration for temperature change due to heat conduction from a constant heat source on a planar (triangular) region. The singularity can be eliminated by a semi-analytical integration scheme. However, it is found that the semi-analytical integration scheme yields sharp temperature gradient for points close to vertices of triangle. This affects the accuracy of heat flux, if they are evaluated by finite difference method at these points. This difficulty can be overcome by a combination of using a direct numerical integration for these points and the semi-analytical scheme for other points distance away from the vertices. The IBEM and the hybrid integration scheme have been verified with an analytic solution and then used to the application of the underground storage.

A combined thermal and flow analysis was carried out to study the behavior and performance of a small, commercial LTD (Low-Temperature-Differential) heat engine. Laminar-flow solutions for annulus and channel flows were employed to estimate the viscous drags on the piston and the displacer and the pressure difference across the displacer. Temperature correction factors were introduced to account for the departure from the ideal heat transfer processes. The analysis results indicate that the work required to overcome the viscous drags on engine moving parts and to move the displacer is much smaller than the moving-boundary work produced by the power piston for temperature differentials in the neighborhood of $20^{\circ}C$ and engine speeds below 10 RPS. A comparison with experimental data reveals large degradations from the ideal heat transfer processes. Thus, heat-transfer devices inside the displacer cylinder are recommended.
