Although various conjectures have been proposed to explain abnormal increase in thermal conductivity of nanofluids, the detailed mechanism could not be understood and explained yet. The main reason is primarily due to the lack of knowledge on the most fundamental factor governing the mechanisms such as Brownian motion, liquid layering, phonon transport, surface chemical effects and agglomeration. By applying surface complexation model for the measurement data of hydrodynamic size, zeta potential, and thermal conductivity, we have shown that sulfate charge state is mainly responsible for the increase in the present condition and may be the factor incorporating all the mechanisms as well. Moreover, we propose a new model including concepts of fractal and interfacial layer. The properties such as thickness and thermal conductivity of the layer are estimated from the surface charge states and the concept of electrical double layer. With this, we could demonstrate the pH dependences of the layer properties and eventually of the effective thermal conductivity of the nanofluid.

Band convergence is known to be effective in improving thermoelectric performance by increasing the Seebeck coefficient without significantly reducing electrical conductivity. Decoupling of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity in converged bands is the key requirement. Yet, the degree of decoupling depends on the band parameters of the converging bands. Herein, we report theoretical transport properties of two valence bands as their energy difference changes from 0.25 eV to 0 eV. In order to demonstrate the effect of band parameters in transport, we first conducted calculations for the case where the two bands have the same parameters. Then, we conducted the same calculation by doubling the density-of-states effective mass of one valence band. Given that there are two bands, each band's effective mass was doubled one at a time while the other band's effective mass remained constant. We found that the decoupling was strongest when the bands participating in convergence had the same band parameters.

3차원 추계학적 방법을 사용하여 성층화된 흙에서 유효 비포화투수계수를 유도하였다. 성층화된 흙의 상관길이는 차이가 있기 때문에 추계학식이 단순화되면서 유효 비포화투수계수에 대한 일반식을 해석적으로 유도할 수 있게 된다. 또한 평균흐름이 특정한 범위(습윤전선, 젖음과정, 마름과정)에서 유효한 단순화된 점근식을 유도하였다. 예증으로 이론적인 결과를 가상 점토에 적용하였다. 그 결과 유효 비포화투수계수는 거시적인 이력현상을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 거시적인 이력현상이란 미시적인 미력현상이라기 보다는 오히려 흙의 공간적인 변동으로 인하여 발생하는 것이다. 또한 유효 비포와투수계수는 흙의 비균질성을 무시한 경우보다 비균질성을 고려한 경우에서 크게 나타났다.

본 연구는 화강암이 분포하는 연구지역을 대상으로 수리지질 단위층을 등연속체매질로서 설정하고, 각 단위층의 유효수리전도도를 산출하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 3"직경의 4개 시추공과 다중패커시스템을 설치하였으며, 단열분포특성조사, 정압주입/수위강하시험, 전공 순간충격시험, 그리고 격리구간 내 펄스시험이 수행되었다. 수리지질 단위층을 정의하기 위하여 단열분포특성을 기초로 하여 일차적으로 상하부 단위층의 경계설정을 시도하였고, 수리전도도 변화특성을 이차적인 요소로 대비하였다. 연구에 적용된 수리시험 결과의 차이와 효과적인 암반 투수성 평가방법에 대한 논의도 이루어졌다. 상부 수리지질 단위층의 유효수리전도도는 정압주입/수위강하시험의 경우 5.27E-10 m/s~7.57E-10 m/s의 범위를 가지며, 하부 영역에서는 2.45E-10 m/s~6.81E-10 m/s의 범위를 갖는다.

An effective thermal conductivity measurement for suspensions of microparticles in oil mixture is conducted in order to evaluate the shear rate-dependence of the thermal conductivity of suspensions. Measurements are made for rotating Couette flows between two concentric cylinders. The rotating outer cylinder is immersed into a constant temperature water bath while the stationary inner cylinder is subject to a uniform heat fluff. Test fluids are made to be homogeneous suspensions, in which neutrally buoyant microparticles ($d=25{\sim}300{\mu}m$) are uniformly dispersed. The present measurements show strong shear-rate dependent thermal conductivities for the suspensions, which are higher than those at zero shear rate. The shear rate dependent thermal conductivity increases with the particle size and volume concentration.4 new model for shear rate-dependent thermal conductivity of microparticle suspensions is proposed; the correlation covers from zero shear rate value to asymptotic plateau value at moderately high shear rates.

A new class of heat transfer fluid with higher thermal conductivity, called nanofluids has been developed by Dr. S. Choi about decade ago. Many exciting experimental and theoretical results have been reported worldwide to predict the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids, however, they sometimes show excessive large discrepancies between each other. This kind of disagreements in thermal conductivity data is partly ascribable to the accuracy of the measuring apparatus, that is, mostly used THM(transient hot-wire method). New thermal conductivity measuring method whose principle is different from that of conventional THM is proposed in this article and measurements and uncertainty analysis were made for the three nanofluid samples with different particle concentration of pure, 2% and 4% of AlN nanofluids.

The hydraulic conductivities in the bentonite-sand mixtures with high density were measured, and the effects of sand content and dry density on the hydraulic conductivity were investigated. The hydraulic conductivities of the bentonite-sand mixtures with a dry density of 1.6 Mg/㎥ and 1.8 Mg/㎥ are less than 10$^{-11}$ m/s when the sand content is not higher than 70 wt%. However at the sand content of 90 wt%, the hydraulic conductivity increases rapidly At the same dry density, the logarithm of hydraulic conductivity increases linearly with increasing sand content. The hydraulic conductivity of the bentonite-sand mixture can be explained by the concept of effective clay dry density, and using this concept, the hydraulic conductivities for the mixtures with various sand contents and dry densities can be estimated.

In order to delineate the flow system of fractured hard rock aquifer, numerical experiments are conducted and the results are analyzed with Mote Carlo simulation. The results show that the percolation threshold and the effective conductivity of a fracture network can be estimated with power law exponent (a) and fracture intensity. But the dependability of the estimated value relies on the percolation threshold, the system scale, and the characterization level.

A one-dimensional heat transfer model for the vertical borehole system is derived in this study to predict the thermal behavior of the system and surrounding soil. In this model the U-tube is replaced with one effective tube of effective diameter which is surrounded by concentric grout region. All thermal resistances of borehole are counted in the grout region with effective thermal conductivity of grout. Effective thermal conductivity of grout and sand are calculated through parameter estimation. The validity of this model is accomplished through comparison of the predicted temperature profiles of the model with experimental data.

지열 히트펌프 시스템은 환경 친화적이고 에너지 절감 시스템으로 알려져 있다. 특히 지중 열교환기는 초기투자비와 시스템 성능을 결정하는 매우 중요한 요소다. 수직형 지열 시스템 설계를 위해서는 현장 열응답 테스트를 통해 지중 유효 열저항을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 지열이용검토서를 통해 접수된 전국의 지중 열전도도를 지역별로 분석하였다. 전국 평균 지중 열전도도는 2.56 W/mK로 분석되었다. 지중 열전도도가 가장 높은 지역은 서울로 평균 2.68 W/mK이고, 가장 낮은 지역은 부산으로 2.28 W/mK다. 또한 해안을 접하고 있는 지역의 열전도도는 전국 평균에 비해 약 30% 낮다.
