The sliding wear behavior of the plasma sprayed zirconia containing 8wt% yttria was investigated over a range of room temperature to 800℃. Both of the friction coefficient and the wear loss increased reaching its maximum at about to 499℃. and then decreased again with increasing temperature up to 800℃. The worn surface at elevated temperature were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer to study the mechanisms of high temperature wear behavior. Surface morphology of the worn samples changes with temperature. Monoclinic (m)/tetragonal (t) x-ray peak intensity ratio of wear debris and worn surface decreased with increasing temperature. Non-transformable tetragonal (t') to metastable tetragonal (t) phase transformation of worn surface increased with increasing temperature. The results indicate that dehumidification and above phase changes are contributing to the high temperature wear behavior of the plasma sprayed ZrO2-Y2O3 coatings.

In conventional air-conditioning systems, when the circulated air from the air-conditioned space pass through the cooling coil in the air-conditioning system, the air is over-cooled to eliminate the moisture as well as to decrease the temperature. The purpose of this study is to test and evaluate performance of the cooling/reheating system which can save both cooling energy and reheating energy by exchanging heat between the cooled air and reheated air. Experimental apparatus consists of fan, ducts, polymer exchangers, cooling coil, electronic auxiliary heater and data acquisition system. Two types of polymer exchanger, plate type and dimple type, made of polypropylene for cooling/reheating system are designed. Heat transfer and dehumidification characteristics of system are tested. The results show that the energy saving is up to 40% in the range of present experimented conditions, and it decreases with increasing velocity, inlet temperature and specific humidity.

Water condensate accumulated on the surface of a fin-and-tube heat exchanger significantly affects its thermal and hydraulic performances. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of condensate retention on the air-side heat transfer performance and flow friction for various flow and geometric conditions. Total of twelve samples of slit and plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers are tested under dry and wet conditions. The thermal fluid measurements are made using a psychrometric calorimeter. Frontal air velocity varies in the range from 0.7 m/s to 1.5 m/s. Using the experimental data, presented are heat transfer coefficients in terms of Colburn j-factors and friction factors, and these data are compared with the existing correlations.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the potential of radiant cooling systems using Ondol as an alternative cooling system in residential buildings. For this purpose, computer simulation and model experiments have been performed for the system performance analysis regarding comfort, floor surface condensation, and supply water temperature. The results of this study is the following: In radiant floor cooling system, room air temperatures were maintained within the set temperature range of $\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ without any discomfort condition. And taking into account only the condensation occurrence, it was possible to achieve radiant floor cooling for a period of about 77% of the total cooling period in weather condition of Seoul. The minimum supply water temperature is about 15$^{\circ}C$, so renewable energy system such as ground heat exchange system can be used as an alternative in cooling source. Also, floor surface condensation can be prevented by integrating with the dehumidification system.

The object of this research is to prevent the industrial accidents which frequently occurred in breaking the coating in cement silo. Research was conducted to identify the cause of the coating formation, and the model experiment of aeration system was done to investigate the effect of moisture air on the coating formation. The results show that dehumidification of supply air in aeration system is the most important factor to suppress the coating formation, and the refrigerated low pressure air dryer applicable to the aeration system of cement silo was newly designed and developed. When this air dryer is applied to the cement silo, 88% of the moisture component of supply air can be reduced. Therefore the cleaning cycle extends over twice, and it contributes to the decrease of industrial accidents and cleaning cost.

When the injection molding system molds some plastic products, defective product rate will be increased if plastic materials have some excessive moisture content. Therefore, it is very important to control the dehumidification and drying of plastic material. Since the moisture content of the plastic material may change from time to time depending on the material and the molding process, it is necessary to observe the change in real time and maintain a constant moisture content. To solve these problems, I proposed a smart factory system model for plastic molding in this paper. In addition, I designed the interface module to be installed in the dehumidifying dryer which is the core of this process. In addition to this, performance tests were conducted to check the effectiveness and the results were verified as valid.

최근에 국내외 에너지 이용 효율성 증대 문제, CFCs등으로 인한 오존층 파괴문제, $CO_2$ 등으로 인한 지구온난화 문제, 실내공기질(IAQ)과 관련된 건물 환기량 증대요구로 인한 건물용 공조시스템(HVAC)의 설계변경 문제 등으로 인해 다양한 종류의 대체 냉방기기가 연구되어 오고 있다. 현재 미국에서는 ASHRAE Standard 62-1989에 의해 실내거주자의 필요한 IAQ와 쾌적함을 유지하기 위해 환기량을 기존의 경우보다 약 3배 이상이 되도록 권장하고 있고 또한 대다수의 미국 주 정부에서 건물설계에 관련된 조례로 ASHRAE Standard 62-1989를 적용하고 있다. 따라서 빌딩공조 설비관계자들은 늘어난 환기 요구량에 따라 잠열냉방용량이 크게 증대되므로 이를 처리하기 위한 새로운 냉방공조기기 시스템기술에 대해 관심이 증대하고 있다. 이에 따라 건조제를 x이용한 냉방 및 제습 시스템이 대체 냉방시스템 또는 기존의 냉방 시스템과 더불어 잠열부하를 처리하는 복합 시스템으로 최근에 다시 상당한 주목을 받고 있다.

As a guideline for desulfurization and dehumidification pretreatment facility for optimizing utilization of biogas, the $H_2S$ concentration is set at 150 % which can be treated with iron salts, dehumidification is the optimum value for generator operation, and the relative humidity applied at the utilization of biogas in EU is set at 60 %. We have set up the generator facility guidelines to optimize utilization of biogas. The appropriate amount of biogas should be at least 90 % of the total gas generation, and the capacity of generator facility should be set at 20~30 %. In order to equalize the pressure of the incoming gas the generator, a gas equalization tank should be installed and the generator room average temperature should be kept at $45^{\circ}C$ or less. Since the gas is not produced at a certain methane concentration in the digester, the efficiency is lowered. Therefore, it is required to install an air fuel ratio control system according to the change in methane concentration. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate for the disadvantages of biogasification facilities of organic waste resources and optimize utilization of biogas and improve operation of facilities. This study was conducted to optimize biogas utilization of type of organic waste(containing sewage sludge and food waste, animal manure), investigate the facilities problem and propose design, operation guidelines such as pre-treatment facilities and generators.

This study examined the safety of a cable stayed bridge caused by damage to the cable system. Many cable-supported bridges, including cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges, have been constructed on the Korean peninsula. This requires efficient maintenance and management because this structure has complex structural components and systems. This large structure also often faces risks either from manmade causes or natural phenomena. In 2015, the cables on one cable-stayed bridge in South Korea was struck by lightning, which led to a fire on the cables. These cables were damaged, which put the bridge at risk. This bridge was back in use after a few weeks of investigations and replacements of the cables but this was done at enormous social and economic expense. After this event, risk-based management for infrastructure is required by public demand. Therefore, this study examined the risks on the cable system due to potential damage. In this paper, a one cable-stayed bridge in South Korea was selected and its safety was investigated based on the damage scenarios of cable system for efficient and prompt management, and to support decision making. FEM analysis was conducted to evaluate the safety of the bridges after damage to the cable system.
