As global warming accelerates due to global climate change, the International Maritime Organization(IMO) has set up Emission Control Area(ECA) and encourages the use of Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG). For this reason, as the demand for LNG increases, the demand and research of related equipment also increases. In this study, one of them, the vent mast for the discharge of LNG was studied. In general, vent mast receives various loads such as wind load, earthquake load and dead load during operation. Accordingly, consideration of these loads is essential for structural design and safety evaluation of the vent mast. In this study, the structural safety of the vent mast is evaluated by performing finite element analysis. As a result, the structural safety evaluation results were analyzed based on the database of materials of the vent mast, and the stress level was analyzed to provide a design guide.

This study was carried out to get required torque data needed to design and develop a roll-up ventilation system in a pipe-constructed plastic film green-house. The results obtained from this study are as follows : 1. The required torques of a roll-up ventilation system in greenhouse are the functions of its length. The torques should multiplied by the conversion coefficients (2.0 in ceiling vent, 1.8 in side vent) in case of application. 2. In constructing pipe-constructed plastic film greenhouse, a shaft pipe is the largest essential element in roll - up shaft weight constitution which have an effect on the required torques. Therefore, the pipe should be light using nonferrous materials like aluminum alloy. 3. A planetary reduction ventilator of differential ring gear type is suitable for a roll-up ventilation system, because it can make high efficient reduction just using the first step shift.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the standard and roof vent type of multi-span greenhouse and to analyze the characteristics of natural ventilation of multi-span greenhouse with different roof vent using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The vent area proportion of surveyed farms averaged 10%, it was analyzed that the vent design for natural ventilation is insufficient. The results of natural ventilation efficiency of multi-span greenhouse according to roof vent type showed that the temperature of the position in which the crops grew was the lowest in the conical roof vent type and the highest in the half conical roof vent type. For the natural ventilation effect, the conical roof vent type was the best one, but the structural stability should be evaluated in light of wind load.

For the robust passenger NCAP 5star and the stable neck injury performance, a new concept of passenger airbag has been required strongly. Especially, the deployment stability and the vent hole control technology of the passenger airbag should be improved. According to these requirements, the deployment stability technique has been studied and the 'Active Vent' technology has been developed. As a result, these technologies have led to achieve the robust NCAP rating and are applied to the production vehicles.

Foreign countries stipulate that ventilation and smoke control facilities are installed in logistics warehouses. On the other hand, in Korea, the design guidelines and standards of ventilation and smoke control facilities for logistics warehouses are not clear even in the situation where the number of human casualties caused by smoke has increased until recently. Accordingly, the smoke descent time according to the vent was calculated. As a result, when there was no vent, the smoke descent time was 369s. On the other hand, when the vent was installed, smoke did not fall because the amount of smoke was greater than the amount of smoke generated.

The number of large scale greenhouses has recently been increasing to cope with mass consumption of agricultural product. Korean government announced a new development plan for constructing greenhouse complex in reclaimed lands for the purpose of improvement in exports and activation of domestic market of agricultural product. Wind environment in the reclaimed land is totally different from that of inland area, and it can give a strong influence on ventilation performance of naturally ventilated greenhouse facilities. In this study, internal airflow analysis of naturally ventilated greenhouse built on a reclaimed land was conducted using wind tunnel and PIV for validation research. Later, the PIV measured results will be used to improve the accuracy of 3 dimensional CFD simulation in the future. Wind profile at a reclaimed land was produced using ESDU program and it was applied to the wind tunnel. The calculated error was only 5% and 0.96 of correlation coefficient, implying that the computed profiles were designed properly. From the measured results, when external wind speed changed from $1m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ to $1.5m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, air velocities inside the greenhouse which PIV measured were also increased proportionately in case of both side vent open and side-roof vent open. Considering reduced ratio of air velocity inside the greenhouse, it was measured a minimum of 40% in case of side vent and 30% in case of side-roof vent compared with external wind speed from each vent type. From the quantitative and qualitative PIV analysis, the PIV measured results indicated that there were well ventilated and stagnant areas in the greenhouse according to external wind condition as well as ventilation design.

This paper describes two major techniques; image processing and gas vent insert and rejection control, for efficient gas vent exchange and holes detecting on the shoes mold. The key idea is to detect holes on the mold to select which holes to insert and to reject automatically guide center of hole's position. This allows us to save labor time while minimizing defective rate of PU shoes mold forming and production costs for gas vent exchange such as insertion and rejection.. Our experimental results have demonstrated that the hole's detection and gasvent exchange mechanism are more efficient and provide accurate mechanism to mitigate risks of vent injection/rejection failures.

Vent ports are installed on the walls of closed compartments of a launch vehicle to control the pressure drop in the compartments. The ports can be modelled as an orifice, and the accurate prediction of the discharge coefficient of an orifice is essential for the design of vent ports. Experimental methods have been used to determine the discharge coefficients for various shapes of orifices, and extensive databases are available. Wind tunnel tests have been also done to evaluate the effect of interaction between venting outflow and freestream for limited conditions. The goal of the present research is to predict the discharge coefficient of an orifice using CFD and evaluate the accuracy of the method, especially for the orifices exposed to the external flow.

Environmental control operations have been considerably contributed to the reduction of labor cost in both plastic film and glass greenhouses since government supported projects were begun. However, some problems are still remaining on the optimal environmental control and excessive operation due to an inflexible software regulating ventilation gear - reducers. The unadjustable software caused the damage of ventilation system, resulting in heat stresses of crops. This study was performed to develop a ventilation software controlling the vent opening level, opening sequence, based on the wind direction, and control interval according to the difference between ambient and set- up temperatures. The software included a beeper system alarming urgent cases, while a manager was remote from the greenhouse. A compatible hardware with the software was also developed by using a low-cost diffused DSP controller.

In this study, the method to attach plastic film on the side vent from inside of greenhouse for the entire length was developed as the way to make crops less stressful while uniformly getting outside air into the greenhouse when ventilating using roof ventilation fans at single-span plastic greenhouse for oriental melon in a low-temperature period. The plastic film was installed from ground to 10cm below from the height where side vent is fully opened. In order to verify that the improved side vent can improve greenhouse environment and fruit yield, it was compared with the control plot of conventional side vent. Both greenhouses were not ventilated until February 25th, 2017. Air temperature in both greenhouses exceeded $40^{\circ}C$ in mid February. Therefore, it is judged that the greenhouse should be ventilated from mid February. Air temperature in the control plot exceeded $30^{\circ}C$ from late April. Therefore, it is judged that the plastic film attached to the inside of side vent should be removed in late April, or in early May at the latest. Soil temperature in the treatment plot in the mid Aril exceeded $20^{\circ}C$, which is suitable for growth, while that in the control plot was still below $20^{\circ}C$. Soil temperature in the control plot finally exceeded $20^{\circ}C$ in late April. The consumption of electricity was 47.2 kWh in the treatment plot, and 48.3 kWh in the control plot, which was no significant difference. The marketable yield of oriental melon in the treatment plot was 5,094kg, which was 23.9% more than that in the control plot, 4,113kg. The marketable fruit ratio was 73.5% in the treatment plot, and that in the control plot was 73.9%, which was no significant difference.
