김등과 Kim등이 재발한 공정묘 생산용 풍동을 사용하여, 인공광하의 묘개체군내외에서 기온, 상대습도 및 포차(vapour pressure deficit) 등의 미기상 특성에 미치는 기류속도의 효과를 분석하였다. 기온차의 최고치가 초장 근처에서 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 공정묘의 생육이 진행될수록 더욱 분명하게 나타났다. 묘개체군 내부에서는 배지 또는 엽으로부터의 증발산으로 인하여 개체군 외부에서의 기온에 비해서 0.7-l.4$^{\circ}C$ 정도 낮게 나타났는데, 기류속도가 낮을수록 기온차가 높게 나타났다. 묘개체군 내부의 상대습도 분포에 미치는 기류속도의 영향이 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 기류속도가 증가할수록 묘개체군 내외에서의 상대습도차는 작게 나타났는데, 이것은 기류속도의 증가에 따라 엽에서의 water potential이 감소되었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 배지표면으로부터의 높이가 증가함에 따라 포차가 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 수증기 유속의 흐름이 상방향으로 이루어짐을 의미하는 것이다. 생육단계에 따른 포차의 변화는 엽면적 지수가 클수록 수직방향으로의 기울기가 크게 나타났다. 한편, 후부에서의 상대습도 및 포차는 중앙부에서 보다 약간 낮게 나타났다. 기류속도에 따라 묘개체군의 수직방향 및 기류진행방향으로 기온, 상대습도 및 포차의 기울기가 크게 나타났는데, 이러한 미기상 요소의 기울기는 묘개체군의 불균일 생장을 초래할 수 있다.

Grafting of fruit-bearing vegetables has been widely used to increase the resistance to soil-borne diseases, to increase the tolerance to low temperature or to soil salinity, to increase the plant vigor, and to extend the duration of economic harvest time. After grafting, it is important to control the environment around grafted seedlings for the robust joining of a scion and rootstock. Usually the shading materials and plastic films are used to keep the high relative humidity and low light intensity in greenhouse or tunnel. It is quite difficult to optimally control the environment for healing and acclimation of grafted seedlings under natural light. So the farmers or growers rely on their experience for the production of grafted seedling with high quality. If artificial light is used as a lighting source for graft-taking of grafted seedlings, the light intensity and photoperiod can be easily controlled. The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype system for the graft-taking enhancement of grafted seedlings using artificial lighting and to investigate the effect of air current speed on the distribution of air temperature and relative humidity in a graft-taking enhancement system. A prototype graft-taking system was consisted by polyurethane panels, air-conditioning unit, system controller and lighting unit. Three band fluorescent lamps (FL20SEX-D/18, Kumho Electric, Inc.) were used as a lighting source. Anemometer (Climomaster 6521, KANOMAX), T-type thermocouples and humidity sensors (CHS-UPS, TDK) were used to measure the air current speed, air temperature and relative humidity in a graft-taking system. In this system, air flow acted as a driving force for the diffusion of heat and water vapor. Air current speed, air temperature and relative humidity controlled by a programmable logic controller (UP750, Yokogawa Electric Co) and an inverter (MOSCON-G3, SAMSUNG) had an even distribution. Distribution of air temperature and relative humidity in a graft-taking enhancement system was fairly affected by air current speed. Air current speed higher than 0.1m/s was required to obtain the even distribution of environmental factors in this system. At low air current speed of 0.1m/s, the evapotranspiration rate of grafted seedlings would be suppressed and thus graft-taking would be enhanced. This system could be used to investigate the effects of air temperature, relative humidity, air current speed and light intensity on the evaportranspiration rate of grafted seedlings.

Experiment was performed in a newly developed wind tunnel with light system to determine the aerodynamic resistance and eddy diffusivity above the plug stand under artificial light. Maximum air temperature appeared near the top of the plug stand under artificial light. Since Richardson number was ranged from -0.07 to +0.01, the atmosphere above the plug stand in wind tunnel was in an unstable or near- neutral stability state. The average aerodynamic resistance at rear region of plug stand was 25 % higher than that at middle region. Eddy diffusivity($K_{M}$) linearly increased with the increasing air current speed. $K_{M}$ at air current speed of 0.9 m.$s^{-1}$ was about two times as many as that at air current speed of 0.3 m.$s^{-1}$. And average $K_{M}$ at the rear region was 15% lower than that at the middle region. These results indicated that the diffusion of heat and mass along the direction of air current inside the plug stand was different. It might cause the lack of uniformity in the growth and quality of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on microclimates and the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light in a semi- closed ecosystem.

본 연구에서는 인공광하의 풍동내에서 기류속도와 생육실내의 위치가 플러그묘 개체군의 생장에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다 기류속도가 증가하면 모개체군내에서의 상대습도는 감소하나, 포차는 증가한다. 이에 따라 증산이 활발하게 이루어져 잎에서의 수분포텐셜이 저하되며 묘개체군 위에서 공기역학적 저항이 감소함에 따라 확산계수가 높게 나타난다. 그 결과로서 0.93m.s$^{-1}$의 기류속도에서 줄기 길이, 줄기직경에 대한 줄기 길이의 비, 초장, 엽수는 유의성이 인정될 만큼 작게 나타났다. 묘개체군의 순광합성속도는 기류속도의 증가와 함께 증가되면서 0.7~0.9 m.s$^{-1}$에서 높게 나타났다. 생육실내의 위치 즉 기류의 진행방향을 따라 줄기 직경과 지하부 건물 중은 감소하였으나, 줄기 직경에 대한 줄기 길이의 비와 엽면적은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이밖에 플러그묘의 생체중 또는 건물 중에 대한 T/R비는 기류속도의 변화와 무관하게 각각 2.8~3.5, 3.2~3.9로서 비슷하게 나타났으나, 건물율은 지상부에서 8.1~9.4, 지하부에서 10.1~10.9로서 지하부에서 다소 높게 나타났다. 그러므로 기류속도의 크기와 기류의 진행방향에 따라 묘개체군 위에서의 확산계수가 다르게 나타나며 이로 인하여 모개체군의 생장 차이가 나타남을 알 수 있다. 따라서 식물모공장과 같이 인공광을 이용한 반폐쇄 식물생산 시스템에서 품질이 균일한 모를 생산하려면 묘개체군의 미기상에 기초한 적정 환경조건의 확립이 요구된다.

A wind tunnel consisting of two air flow conditioners with polycarbonate pipes, a plant growth room, a suction fan and fan controller, and fluorescent lamps, was designed to investigate the interactions between the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light and their Physical environments. Light transmissivities in the plant growth room based on the photosynthetic photon flux density and photosynthetically active radiation was appeared to be 96.3% and 96.8%, respectively. Measurement showed a uniformity in the vertical profiles of air current speed at the middle and rear regions of plug trays in wind tunnel. This result indicated that the development of a wind tunnel based on the design criteria of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was adequate. Air current speed inside the plug stand was significantly decreased due to the resistance by the leaves of plug seedlings and boundary layer developed over and below the plug stand. Driving force to facilitate the diffusion of gas inside the plug stand might be regarded as extremely low. Aerodynamic characteristics above the plug stand under artificial light were investigated. As the air current speed increased, zero plane displacement decreased but roughness length and frictional velocity increased. Zero plane displacement linearly increased with the average height of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on the microclimate over and inside the plug stand and to collect basic data for a large-scale plug production under artificial light in a semi-closed ecosystem.

In the air current pulverizing type grinding method, the blade wings fitted inside a casing are rotated at a high speed to generate a cornering air current, which facilitates the collision of materials with one another, leading to the pulverizing phenomenon. In contrast to mechanical grinding, grit pulverizing leads to fine grinding and less acid waste and degeneration of the material. Moreover, this approach prevents the loss of nutritional value, while allowing the milling grain to have an excellent texture. However, the existing air current pulverizing type machines consist of prefabricated blades, which cannot be rotated at a speed higher than 5,000 rpm. Consequently, the grinding process becomes time consuming with a low productivity. To overcome these problems, in this study, the shape and structure of the air current pulverizing type wings were optimized to allow rapid grinding at more than 8,000 rpm. Moreover, the optimal design for the ripening parts for the air current pulverizing type device was determined by performing a computational fluid dynamics analysis based on airflow analyses to produce machinery that can grinding materials to the order of micrometers.

This study deals with on-line fault detection and diagnosis(FDD) for heat exchangers of a variable speed refrigeration system(VSRS) based on current information. The current residual which is the difference between real detected current from current sensors and estimated current from no fault model was utilized to diagnose faults of the heat exchangers. Comparing to the conventional FDD of constant refrigeration system based on temperature and pressure information, the suggested FDD method shows better robustness to the VSRS which has a feedback control loop. Moreover the suggested method can be expected more precise and faster diagnosis of faults about heat exchangers. Throughout some experiments, the validity of the method was verified.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the air flow characteristics in a plant factory with different inlet and outlet locations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Methods: In this study, the flow was assumed to be a steady-state, incompressible, and three-dimensional turbulent flow. A realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulent model was applied to show more reasonable results than the standard model. A CFD software was used to perform the numerical simulation. For validation of the simulation model, a prototype plant factory ($5,900mm{\times}2,800mm{\times}2,400mm$) was constructed with two inlets (${\Phi}250mm$) and one outlet ($710mm{\times}290mm$), located on the top side wall. For the simulation model, the average air current speed at the inlet was $5.11m{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Five cases were simulated to predict the airflow pattern in the plant factory with different inlet and outlet locations. Results: The root mean square error of measured and simulated air current speeds was 13%. The error was attributed to the assumptions applied to mathematical modelling and to the magnitude of the air current speed measured at the inlet. However, the measured and predicted airflow distributions of the plant factory exhibited similar patterns. When the inlets were located at the center of the side wall, the average air current speed in the plant factory was increased but the spatial uniformity was lowered. In contrast, if the inlets were located on the ceiling, the average air current speed was lowered but the uniformity was improved. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that the airflow pattern in the plant factory with multilayer cultivation shelves was greatly affected by the locations of the inlet and the outlet.

This study deals with on-line fault detection and diagnosis for heat exchanger of variable speed refrigeration system. Conventional studies about fault of heat exchanger in refrigeration system have used temperature and pressure information. The temperature and pressure are able to be used valuably for faults detection of constant speed refrigeration system. However in case of variable speed refrigeration system, the temperature and pressure are no longer useful information for fault detection due to compensation effect of feedback controller. While current information is possible to detect faults of variable speed refrigeration system. The current information was detected in an inverter, it was used after transforming rms value. The faults of variable speed refrigeration system are divided into electrical faults and mechanical faults. We performed fault detection and diagnosis about heat exchanger among mechanical faults such as condenser fouling and evaporator fan fouling through some experiments.

Two methods were used to detrermine the net photosynthetic rate(NPR) in the plug stand using a wind tunnel for plug seedlings Production. One is called as the integration method in which NPR calculated by the use of air current speed and $CO^2$ concentration measured at any heights above the medium surface in a wind tunnel were summed. It was assumed that the air flow at any layer did not mix with the lower or upper air layer. The other is called as the diffusion method in which eddy diffusivities above the plug stand were used to determine the NPR in the plug stand. In this method, $CO^2$ above or inside the plug stand was assumed to be absorbed vertically. NPR determined by the diffusion method was 28~45% of the NPR calculated by the integration method. Considering the magnitude of NPR and the effects of the air current speed on NPR, the integration method would be adequate for the calculation of NPR in the plug stand. Maximum NPR determined using the integration method appeared at the air current speed of 0.7m $s^{-1}$. It was ascribed to the decreased diffusion resistances of $CO^2$ with the increasing air current speed. NPR at the rear region in plug stand was 20~34% lower than that at the front region. NPR sharply decreased with the increase of an elapsed time after the beginning of photoperiod. Therefore $CO^2$ enrichment would be effective to force the growth of plug seedlings in a semi-closed ecological system under artificial lighting.
