Lower thermospheric winds are forced primarily by non-uniform solar heating, atmospheric tides and other waves coming from below, and energy and momentum forcing associated with high-latitude magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, particularly ion drag and Joule heating. To understand the physical processes that control the thermospheric dynamics, we quantify the momentum forces that are mainly responsible for maintaining the high-latitude lower thermospheric wind system and examine the resulting momentum balance with the aid of the Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (NCAR-TIEGCM) developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

In a residential complex case, the efficiency of land use are maximized, but a variation of external condition such as load in-equality, the increase in wind velocity and solar radiation by a height causes increasing energy in a building. Besides, because of increasing window size for a lighting and a view, it comes heating load in winter and cooling load in summer. A choice of cooling-system is important for this reason. Recently an internal high-rise residential complex installs an air-cooling system and operates individual heating. However, this study applies water-cooling used one public cooling-tower instead of an air-cooling system, also with an efficiency test of an air and a water-cooling system, consider an internal applicability.

A rail heating system can be classified as the method which uses a natural phenomena change in climate condition and the method which uses electric energy. The former uses a the sunshine and wind for frozen rail or snow. On the other hand, and the latter uses the electric energy. In this paper, to set up an effective thaw system in railway facilities using the electric energy, the component for thaw equipments, the installing method, the method for temperature regulation, and the maintenance technique will be analyzed and compared, which results in an introduction of an effective and economic scheme for respective railway systems. Although the portion of thaw system is not quite large in the entire railway facilities, a significant energy saving and cost reduction can be expected if the proper system is employed.

In order for an IoT system to automatically make the house temperature pleasant for the user, the system needs to predict the optimal start-up time of air-conditioner or heater to get to the temperature that the user has set. Predicting the optimal start-up time is important because it prevents extra fee from the unnecessary operation of the air-conditioner and heater. This paper introduces an ANN(Artificial Neural Network) and an IoT system that predicts the cooling and heating time in households using air-conditioner and heater. Many variables such as house structure, house size, and external weather condition affect the cooling and heating. Out of the many variables, measurable variables such as house temperature, house humidity, outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and wind chill was used to create training data for constructing the model. After constructing the ANN model, an IoT system that uses the model was developed. The IoT system comprises of a main system powered by Raspberry Pi 3 and a mobile application powered by Android. The mobile's GPS sensor and an developed feature used to predict user's return.

This study was carried out to evaluate the structural stability in a non-heating greenhouse with a single cover for Citrus cultivation which was built up in Jeju on the basis of the drawing designed by Jejudo Agricultural Research & Extension Services and also to make use of the data for developing a standardized non-heating greenhouse in Jeju. The analysis of a structural stability was conducted by using CFX-5.7 and ANSYS under the design condition of a maximum accumulated snow-depth of 19.1 cm as well as an instantaneous maximum wind velocity of $36.6\;m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ which was set up on the basis of meteorological statistics in Jeju. As a result, the maximum von-Mises stress applied on pipes under the wind velocity of $36.6\;m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ showed a value of $250\;N{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ which was greater than the allowable stress of the pipe with a value of $235.4\;N{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ (=$2,400\;kg{\cdot}cm^{-2}$) and also $53.8\;N{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ under the snow-depth of 19.1 cm, respectively. This result suggested that the greenhouse be unstable under the design condition of an instantaneous wind velocity of $36.6\;m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ so that it was necessary for the greenhouse to be reinforced to secure the structural stability.

To estimate the benefit of high-resolution meteorological data for building energy estimation, a building energy analysis has been conducted over Busan metropolitan areas. The heating and cooling load has been calculated at seven observational sites by using temperature, wind and relative humidity data provided by WRF model combined with the inner building data produced by American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The building energy shows differences 2-3% in winter and 10-30% in summer depending on locations. This result implicates that high spatiotemporal resolution of meteorological model data is significantly important for building energy analysis.

Today, carbon fibers are used as heating elements. Carbon fibers are generally used to reinforce composite materials because they are lightweight and have a high strength and modulus. Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are used for aerospace, automobile, and wind turbine blade applications. This work explored the possibility of using carbon fiber reinforced composite materials as self heating materials. The temperatures of the carbon fiber reinforced composites were measured. These results verified that the carbon fiber reinforced composite materials could be used as heating elements. A glass fiber was laminated using various methods. The thermal characteristics of the composites were evaluated. This confirmed that the generation of heat varied according to the lamination thicknesses of the carbon fiber and glass fiber. As the number of carbon fiber laminations increased, the heat-generating temperature increased. In contrast, as the number of glass fiber laminations increased, the amount of heat decreased. The generation of heat and ability to remain warm could be controlled by controlling the carbon fiber and glass fiber laminations.

Today, the number of super tall buildings are under construction or being planed in Middle East and Asian Countries. For example the burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, is completed in 2008 and the height of that is about 800m. Also, Lotte World Tower is under construction in Korea. External environmental conditions such as wind speed, air temperature, humidity and solar radiation around the super tall building differs according to the building height due to the vertical micro climate change. However, the meteorological information used for AC design of building is obtained typically from standard surface meterological station data(~2m above the ground). In this paper the effect of the building envelope on heating and cooling load in super tall building considering the meteorological changes with height was analyzed with simulation method. As results of this research, the guideline to select the building envelop alternatives for super tall building will be suggested in this paper.

Regarding the need of energy in advance and the depletion of fossil fuel energy, all researches around the world now are trying to extract energy from many alternative sources especially the renewable one. Solar, ocean tidal, wind and geothermal energy are renewable energy fields which many researches are focused on. This paper explains about effort to replace electric pump used in solar water heating system by bubble pump. The utilization of bubble pump in this system is very efficient since it needs heat energy for its operation that can be obtained easily. In addition, it can also simplify the construction of the system. Bubble pump also functions as a controller to circulate water inside the system. Before the installation of bubble pump, the special quality and performance of bubble pump should be analyzed. The result got from the analysis could show the fluctuation of water flow rate occurred because it sensitively reacts to the heat quantity. Here the heat quantity is taken from the solar that, as we know, is not stable in a whole day. Problems often occurred are the flow rate in this system is very low moreover it could be stop if the pressure exceeds the limit.
