Francis hydro turbines have been most widely used throughout the world because of their wide range of head and flow rate applications. In most applications, they are used for high heads and flow rates. Currently, Korea is developing technology for Francis hydro turbine design and manufacture. In order to understand the internal details of Francis hydro turbines further, a new Francis turbine model runner is designed and model internal flow characteristics are investigated. The specific speed of the Francis hydro turbine model runner is $Ns=200m-kW-min^{-1}$. The runner blade is designed successfully according to the port area and one-dimensional loss analysis. The best efficiency point of the Francis hydro turbine model achieves 90% at the design condition. CFD analysis yields a hill chart of the Francis hydro turbine model for use in predicting performance.

Today, weather radar is used as a key tool for modern high-tech weather observations and forecasts, along with a wide variety of ground gauges and weather satellites. In this paper, we propose a frequency transform based weather radar image processing technique to improve the weather radar image damaged by beam blocking and clutter removal in order to minimize the uncertainty of the weather radar observation. In the proposed method, DCT based mean energy correction is performed to improve damage caused by beam shielding, and DWT based morphological image processing and high frequency cancellation are performed to improve damage caused by clutter removal. Experimental results show that the application of the proposed method to the damaged original weather radar image improves the quality of weather radar image adaptively to the weather echo feature around the damaged area. In addition, radar QPE calculated from the improved weather radar image was also qualitatively confirmed to be improved by the damage. In the future, we will develop quantitative evaluation scales through continuous research and develop an improved algorithm of the proposed method through numerical comparison.

본 논문에서는 총 106개의 단어로 구성되는 30개의 한국어 속담 문장에 대해 프레임 단위로 인식하는 분산 신경망을 구현하였다. 음성에 대한 특징값으로는 PLP 켐스트럼과 에너지 및 영교차율을 사용하였으며 분산 신경망의 입력으로 사용되는 이 특징값들이 음성의 시간적 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있도록 한 프레임 주변의 넓은 영역에 걸쳐 데이타를 수집하였다. 20대 젊은 남자가 30개의 속담을 5번씩 발음하였다. 신경망 학습에 네집단을 사용하고 학습에 참여하지 않은 나머지 한집단은 인식용으로 사용하였다. 속담내의 단어와 단어 사이는 구별이 잘 되도록 묵음 구간을 두어 발음하였다. 인식 결과음소를 판 군별로 분류하는 대분류 신경망에서의 각 군의 프레임 인식율은 네 집단을 학습에 사용한 경우 $95.3\%$를 나타내었다.

Extreme recovery of the thermal energy from the combustion of flue gas may bring about early gas condensation resulting in the increased formation of nitric acid vapor. The behavior of the nitric acid formed inside the stack and in the atmosphere was investigated through a computer-aided simulation in this study. Low temperatures led to high conversion rates of the nitrogen oxide to nitric acid, according to the Arrhenius relationship. Larger acid plumes could be formed with the cooled flue gas at $40^{\circ}C$ than the present exiting gas at $115^{\circ}C$. The acid vapor plume of 0.1 ppm extended to 25 m wide and 200 m high. The wind, which had a seasonal local average of 3 m/s, expanded the influencing area to 170 m along the ground level. Its tail stretched 50 m longer at $40^{\circ}C$ than at $115^{\circ}C$. The emission concentration of the acid vapor in the summer season was a little lower than in the winter. However, a warm atmosphere facilitated the Brownian motion of the discharged flue gas, finally leading to more vigorous dispersion.

This study was carried out to evaluation of biomass generation mechanisms and to propose the estimation method of biomass generation. Agricultural by-product biomass is generated during crops cultivation and after harvest. However these are not uniformly generated yearly and these depending on the seasons. For planning of biomass utilization, accurate information of the biomass resources is needed, especially characteristic and productivity of biomass are necessary. Agricultural by-product biomass are generated in a wide area being scattered and it is one of the major reason why agricultural biomass utilization is not activated compared with other waste biomass. In this study, estimation and evaluation biomass generation is achieved in specific spatial and temporal boundary, A-city in Gyeongi-do and september to November respectively. Quantity and quality of by-product biomass show big difference depending on the crop species and cultivation periods and these difference bring up that accurate biomass estimation should be considered during planning of biomass utilization and technology selecting for biomass converting to energy and other forms.

In a fire disaster in a tunnel, people should be rescued immediately using the information obtained from cameras or sensors. However, in heavy smoke from a fire, people cannot be clearly identified by a mounted CCTV, which is only effective in a clear environment. A thermal camera can be an alternative to this in smoky situations and is capable of detecting people from their emitted thermal energy. On the other hand, the thermal image camera has a smaller field of view than an ordinary camera due to its lens characteristics and temperature error, etc. In order to cover a relatively wide area, panoramic image construction needs to be implemented. In this work, a template-based similarity matching algorithm for constructing the panorama image is proposed and its performance is verified through experiments. This scheme provides guidelines for coping with difficulty in image construction, which requires an exact correspondence search for two images in cases of heavy smoke.

Greenhouses should be heated during nights and cold days in order to fit growth conditions in greenhouses. Ground source heat pump(GSHP) or geothermal heat pump system(GHPs) is recognized to be outstanding heating and cooling system. Horizontal GSHP system is typically less expensive than vertical GSHP system but requires wide ground area to bury ground heat exchanger(GHE). In this study, a horizontal GSHP system with thermal storage tank was installed in greenhouse and investigated as performance characteristics. In the daytime, heating load of greenhouse is very small or needless because solar radiation increases inner air temperature. The results of study showed that the heating coefficient of performance of the heat pump ($COP_h$) was 2.9 and the overall heating coefficient of performance of the system($COP_{sys}$) was 2.4. Heating energy cost was saved 76% using the horizontal GSHP system with thermal storage tank.

The roof among the outer surfaces of buildings is an optimum place to install PV since it is the best favorable part in the building to be exposed to day light. Especially, in case of module of BIPV for Roof, it should have essentially the functions of both electricity generation and roof-finish as a construction material. The followings are the results of the study which has analyzed the architectural conditions and applications thereof at the job site. -The aesthetic function of BIPV module is very important because the roof, mostly located at the top of the buildings, is easily recognized and affects outer interior design of the building a lot. -The heat proof of BIPV for Roof could affect the energy consumption through the roof having a wide area. -For architectural condition to the weather, the roof has to ensure the stability of the weather, humidity proof, and airtightness to the wind respectively. -For architectural condition of the structure, endurance by physical power such as stability of both combining and fixing and transfer of load should be ensured. -For residents protection, it has also architectural functions to secure for the space and shield ozone, UV and noxious substances. -Through its practical applications, It is already confirmed that there are various types of BIPV modules overseas and its application has been proved successfully.
