The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thermal environment of present state and energy consumption and to verify the improvement of energy performance applying free cooling in 5ESS-2000 telecommunication equipment room. Analysis program is used the DOE-2.1E and commercial CFD code, Star-CD. The results of the simulation show that free cooling could reduce 42.1% of cooling energy, increase 48.5% of heating energy because introduced outdoor air must heating and humidification. Therefore free cooling could reduce yearly 34,609.9 kWh of heating and cooling energy and this is reaching to 21.6% of total energy.

Performance of the water/air direct contact air conditioning system, in which heat and mass are directly transferred between air and water droplet, is simulated using semi-empirical method. Direct contact system improves transport efficiency compared to conventional indirect contact system. In this study, correlations for h$_{c}$A / c$_{pm}$ which represent the capacity of direct contact system are derived as a function of air and water flowrate from the experimental data. Cooling and heating performance of the water/air direct contact air conditioning system are evaluated using these correlations.ons.

Water management is important in proton exchange membrane fuel cell because the water balance has a significant impact on the overall fuel cell system performance. In fuel cell vehicle, the vehicle's power demand is dynamic; therefore, the dynamic water management system is required. This present study proposes a method to control the humidity of the input air in cathode side of the fuel cell vehicle. The simulation using several driving cycles shows the proposed air humidification control obtains a relatively good result. The liquid saturation level is seen constant at the target level although still there are small deviations at driving cycles which having averagely high power demands.

In this study, various materials such as epoxy material, urethane material, cement material, and acrylic material are used to solve the water leakage occurring in underground structures. However, in the reality that the durability is insufficient and the effect is insufficient, it is aimed to improve the repairing effect by using acrylics. As a second study, it is confirmed that leachate can be used as a repair material by considering long time under water stability, elongation range test, fatigue resistance test, tube stability test, damage recovery performance ana temperature stability considering leakage environment for polyacrylate. In addition, this material is applied to Expansion Joint to perform leakage repair, and to verify the effect of repairing leakage by monitoring and visual observation of concrete humidification.

Airway mucus provides the protective functions such as lubrication, barrier, disposal of trapped materials, and humidification. In the normal state, the mucus do not interfere with Bas transport and the other vital functions of lung. In diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis, the mucus hypersecretion was physiologically developed in the response of multiple neurohumoral mechanism system. And regardless of the mechanism, many clinical sequelae result from mucus hypersecretion: atelectasis, infection, increased airway resistance, increased work of breathing, increased cough with its resultant complication. And the condensation of mucus tv mucus hypersecretion can make the mucus plug by which bronchial obstruction is developed. We have experienced a 7 Pear-old male patient with recurrent pneumonic symtom, which the bronchial obstruction was developed by the impacted mucus plug on the bronchoscopic finding. We report this case with the review of literature.

A practical application of a fuzzy-neuro controller is described for an air-conditioning system. Air-handing units are being widely used for improving the performance of central air-conditioning systems. The fuzzy-neuro control system has two controlled variables, temperature and humidity and three control elements, cooling, heating, and humidification. In order to achieve high efficiency and economical contorl, especially in large offices and industrial buildings, two controllable parameters, temperature and humidity, must be adequately controlled by the three final controlling elements. In this paper a fuzzy-neuro control system is described for controlling air-conditioning systems efficiently and economically. Simulation results confirmed that the fuzzy neuro control system is effective for this multivariable system.

Recently, fuel cell field is receiving much attention as an environmentally friendly energy in the world. Among the various types of fuel cells, in the case of PEMFC, ions move through the membrane in the middle of the unit cell. Therefore, proper moisture is required inside the PEMFC. In the case of membrane type humidifier, flat membrane or hollow fiber membrane is mainly used. Since various parameters can change the performance, the performance investigation has to be carried out with parameters. In this study, water transport of hollow fiber membrane was investigated in terms of principle operating conditions such as temperature and flow rate.

Today, commercialized Hinoki cypress cubes are used for fragrance, humidification, and pillows in Korea. In this study, the sound absorption ability of Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) cubes was examined. The three groups of Hinoki cypress cubes were prepared depending on their dimension (L: 9 × 9 × 9, M: 7 × 7 × 7, S: 4 × 4 × 4 mm). Their sound absorption coefficient was examined after filling 6, 8, 10, and 12 cm height in impedance tubes, respectively. Overall, the sound absorption ability depending on dimension was superior in the M group compared to the L and S groups. Also, as the filling height increased, the sound absorption capacity increased. In sum, noise reduction coefficients (NRC) of all Hinoki cypress cubes were 0.41-0.59. Thus, this research found that Hinoki cypress cubes have a sound-absorbing function.

In this research, our objective was to investigate the efficacy of electrostatic precipitation in capturing mist particles. We assumed that it could be helpful in multi-functional facilities and similar environments where both humidification and dehumidification are required. We derived the air density of the humidified air based on its properties using Dalton's law. The analysis was performed to evaluate the collection efficiency of capturing mist aerosols of various sizes. As a result, we revealed that under the conditions of a dry-bulb temperature of 26.0℃ and relative humidity of 8%, the system achieved a collection efficiency of 99.999% or more for aerosols larger than 2.5㎛. These results indicate that electrostatic precipitation technology shows great promise as an effective method for capturing mist particles.
