인공경량 골재는 다결정질 소성체를 주 구성으로 하므로 골재 내부에 다량의 공극이 일정비율로 형성되는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 인공경량 골재는 조직 구조의 특성상 외부환경의 변화에 의해 수분이 비정상적인 이동을 보이는 경향이 있다. 다공질 재료의 수분 방출 특성은 일반적으로 기공률 및 기공크기 분포에 크게 좌우되지만, 인공적으로 소결 제조된 경우에는 표면에 생성된 치밀한 구조의 표피층에도 많은 영향을 받을 것으로 생각된다. 인공경량 골재 내부의 수분 이동에 미치는 요인은 골재내의 세공 및 공극의 분포와 형상, 크기, 그리고 프리웨팅 방법 등이 있으며 각 조건에 따라 상당한 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 인공경량 골재를 제조하여 골재의 가압시 흡수 특성이나 침수시간에 대한 흡수율의 거동에 대한 명확한 규명을 함으로써 경량골재 펌프압송을 위한 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 인공경량골재는 독일 'L'사의 상업용 인공경량골재와 본 연구팀이 제조한 2가지 조성의 인공경량골재를 사용하였으며, 골재 수분함침시간, 진공압력, 급냉조건을 변화시켜 골재의 흡수율을 측정하였다. 인공경량골재를 $300^{\circ}C$ 에서 급냉 하였을 경우 24시간 침수보다 높은 흡수율을 보였고, 진공압력에 따라 흡수율이 증가하는 경향이 있으며, -300 mmHg의 진공 압력시 24시간 침수보다 "L"사 골재는 54 %의 높은 증가를 보였으나 K622와 K73 골재는 비교적 적은 2 % 내외의 흡수율 증가양상을 보였다.

This paper deals with the correlation of absorption rate in absorber and evaporation rate in evaporator. The evaporator consists of a copper tube of 10mm dia, and 600mm long and chilled water flowing through the tube is fed by the chilled water circulator. The flowrate of LiBr-water solution in the absorber plays a significant role in determining the magnitude of the heat transfer rate from chilled water to refrigerant There exists a flowrate of solution which has a maximum value of heat transfer. It is interesting to note that the absorption rate of absorber increases with increasing the heat transfer rate of the evaporator. Also, absorption rate increases with evaportation rate, and the ratio(the former/the other) depends on the inlet temperature of LiBr-water solution in the absorber. The heating capacity in the absorber is higher than the refrigerating capacity in the evaporator.

Cases of insulation breakdown damage of water-cooled generator stator windings occur frequently due to coolant leakage and water absorption worldwide. Such serious accidents may cause not only enormous economic loss but also very serious grid accidents in terms of stable supply of electric power. More than 50 % of domestic generators have been operated for more than 15 years, and leak and water absorption problem of windings are often found during the planned preventive maintenance period. Since 2005, leak and water absorption tests have been performed for total watercooled stator windings after fully drying the inside of the windings. The results are then comprehensively analyzed. The result of the test performed by GE, a foreign manufacturer, for 141 generators showed failures in 80 of them (failure rate: 57 %), whereas in the tests carried out in Korean domestic power plants, only 14 out of 50 generators showed failures (failure rate: 28 %).

The main objective of this study is to characterize and evaluate the hydrophobic performance of polymer-based water-repellent coatings on cementitious mortar surfaces. Different concentrations of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and poly(1,4-butylene adipate) (PBA) were prepared in the laboratory and their applicability and performance was tested experimentally by water absorption test and analysis of surface contact angles of cementitious mortar specimens. According to the results of this study, it can be stated that incorporation of nano polymer particles on the surface of cementitious mortar specimens can enhance contact angles and reduce water absorption by increasing hydrophobicity. However, a dosage limit exists for polymer materials in coating, and observed hydrophobic improvements decreases when polymer dosage reached beyond the limit. Additionally, it is observed that water absorption of polymer coated cementitious mortars is closely related with the results of surface contact angle.

Recycled polypropylene (RPP) - Wood Saw Dust (WSD) composites with and without acetylation of filler were produced at different filler loading (15%, 25%, 35% and 45% w/w) and filler size (300, 212 and $100{\mu}m$). The RPP-WSD was compounded using a Haake Rheodrive 500 twin screw compounder at $190^{\circ}C$ at 8 MPa for 30 minutes. The mechanical properties and water absorption properties of modified and unmodified WSD-PP composites were investigated. Acetylation of WSD improved the mechanical and water absorption characteristic of composites. The decrease of filler size (300 to $100{\mu}m$) of the unmodified and acetylated WSD showed increase of tensile strength and impact properties. The composites exhibited higher tensile modulus properties as the filler loading increased (15% to 45%). However tensile strength, elongation at break and impact strength showed the opposite phenomenon. Water absorption increased as the mesh number and filler loading increased. With acetylation, lower moisture absorption was observed as compared to unmodified WSD. The failure mechanism from impact fracture of the filler-matrix interface with and without acetylation was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

섬유강화 복합재료는 수분에 의해 강도저하가 발생하며 이로 인하여 파괴가 발생하여 인적 물적 피해를 야기하고있다. 본 논문에서는 흡습에 의한 강도저하의 원인을 규명하고자 하였다. 먼저 수분이 복합재료에 흡수되는 메커니즘을 가정하였다. 흡수 메커니즘은 step 1, step 2, 그리고 step 3로 구분하였다. 이 메커니즘을 증명하기 위하여 강화섬유 및 수지의 종류, 수분이 흡수되는 시간 등의 조건을 다르게 하여 시험을 하였으며 그 결과 건조에 의해 인장강도가 회복되는 가역(reversible)반응과 건조로 인해 회복이 불가능한 비가역(irreversible)반응이 모두 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 강도저하는 흡습율 2.5% 에서 거의 완료되며, 흡습율이 4%에 이르면 비가역반응에 의한 강도저하가 많이 작용하여 강도회복이 적어지는 경향을 보였다.

This paper concerns the study of absorption refrigeration and heat pump cycle to use sewage. Simulation analysis on the double-effect absorption refrigeration cycle with parallel and two-stage heat pump cycle has been performed. The working fluid is Lithium Bromide and water solution. The absorption refrigeration cycle use sewage as a cooling water for the absorber and condenser, and absorption refrigeration cycle does that as a chilled water for the evaporator of the first stage cycle. And the two-stage cycle consists of coupling double-effect with parallel and single effect cycle so that the first stage absorber and condenser produces heating water to evaporate refrigerant in the evaporator of the second stage. The effects of operating variables such as a absorber temperature on the coefficient of performance have been studied for absorption refrigeration and heat pump cycle.

The objectives of this paper are to examine the effect of nano-particles on the pool type absorption heat transfer enhancement and to find the optimal conditions to design a highly effective compact absorber for ammonia/water absorption system. The effect of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles and carbon nanotube(CNT) on the absorption performance is studied experimentally. The experimental ranges of the key parameters are 20% of ammonia concentration, $0{\sim}0.08\;vol%$ (volume fraction) of CNT particles, and $0{\sim}0.06 \;vol%$ of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles. For the ammonia/water nanofluids, the heat transfer rate and absorption rate with 0.02 vol% $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles were found to be 29% and 18% higher than those without nano-particles, respectively. It is recommended that the concentration of 0.02 vol% of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles be the best candidate for ammonia/water absorption performance enhancement.

Absorption of water vapor into LiBr-$H_2O$ O solution flowing over a finned inclined surface is numerically investigated. The momentum, energy, and diffusion equation are numerically solved using a finite difference method. The four different shapes of the wall surfaces are considered to find the best surface for absorption assuming that the wall temperature and the surface tension are constant. The effects of the fin interval and Reynolds number are investigated. Based on the numerical results, it is known that the parabolic surface shows better absorption performance than the other surfaces, and that water vapor absorption increases gradually with decreasing the fin interval.

Absorption potential of desiccant solution significantly decreases after absorbing moisture from humid air, and a regeneration process requires a great amount of energy to recover absorption potential of desiccant solution. In an effort to develop an efficient solar water heater, this study examines a regeneration process using hot water obtained from solar water heater to recover absorption potential by evaporating moisture in the liquid desiccant. In this paper, a solar absorption dehumidifying system with solar water heater is suggested to save the electricity for operating an air conditioner. LiGl(lithium chloride) solution was adopted as a liquid desiccant in the proposed system, and hot water obtained from the solar water heater was used for regenerating the liquid desiccant. As a result, it was clear that the dilute LiCl solution could be regenerated by hot water, and the regeneration rate depends mostly on temperature level of liquid desiccant. The regeneration rates were about 2.4kg/h with $40^{\circ}C$, 4.0kg/h with $50^{\circ}C$, and 6.2kg/h with $60^{\circ}C$ of hot water respectively.
