The purpose of this study was to determine nitrogen dioxide(NO$_2$) decay rate by reaction between NO$_2$ and interior materials in Korean residence. The results of this research could be helpful to choose the interior construction materials and to study on reduction of indoor air pollutants. The results of this research are as follows; For 30 residences in Seoul and Incheon from October 2000 to march 2001, the mean of infiltration rate was 0.70$\pm$0.44 ACH, and single-detached houses (7 houses) and apartments (19 houses) were 0.97$\pm$0.55 ACH and 0.61$\pm$0.34 ACH, respectively. The $CO_2$ decay followed approximately first-order process ($R^2$=0.97$\pm$0.02). There existed a statistic significance in filtration rate between houses built in 1980’s and built in 1990’s by t-test (p<0.02). Mean of NO$_2$ decay rates in 26 residence3s except 4 residences was 0.94$\pm$0.49hr$^{-1}$ , and also 0.86$\pm$0.49hr$^{-1}$ , 0.97$\pm$0.50hr$^{-1}$ in single-detached houses and apartments, respectively. Mean NO$_2$ decay rates in houses built in 1980’s were 0.78$\pm$0.37hr$^{-1}$ , 1.33$\pm$1.03hr$^{-1}$ , respectively. Nothing were showed statistical significance among indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and NO$_2$ decay rate. However, NO$_2$ decay rates had a tendency to increase by increase of temperature and humidity. Average volume/surface of participated houses was 0.55$\pm$0.07m and mean NO$_2$ deposition velocity was calculated as 1.46$\pm$0.59msec$^{-1}$ .

A model has been developed to predict natural ventilation in a single zone building with large openings. This study first presents pressure-based equations on natural ventilation, that include the combined effect of wind and thermal buoyancy. Moreover, the concept of neutral pressure level(NPL) is introduced to consider the two-way flow through a large opening. The total pressure differences across the opening and the NPL are calculated, and nonlinear equations are solved to find the zonal pressure to satisfy mass conservation. For this analysis, an iterative technique of successively approximating the zonal pressure is used. The results of applying this study model to several simple cases are as follows. When there is no wind and only the stack effect is caused, a one-way flow occurs in both the top and bottom openings in the case of two openings of equal-area, and a one-way flow occurs in the top opening; however, a two-way flow occurs in the bottom opening in the case of two openings of unequal-area. When there is a wind effect, regardless of whether the outside air temperature is lower or higher than the indoor air temperature, air flows into the room through the bottom opening and out of the room through the top opening. As the wind velocity increases, the wind effect appears to be more influential than the stack effect owing to the temperature difference.

When heat generated inside a large factory building is not discharged due to a stagnant flow, the working environment of workers becomes worse and the cooling of high-temperature products such as hot-rolling coils is delayed. To investigate the natural ventilation inside a large factory building, experimental studies were carried out using wind-tunnel tests. The scale-down factory building models were placed in an atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and the mean and fluctuating velocity fields were measured using a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. For the prototype factory model, the outdoor air is only entrained into the factory building through the one-third open windward wall, and stagnant flow is formed in the rear part of the target area. In order to improve the indoor ventilation environment of the factory building, three different louver-type ventilators were attached at the upper one-third open windward wall of the factory model. Among the three louver ventilators tested in this study, the ventilator model #3 with the outer louver (${\theta}_o$ = 90$^{\circ}$) and the inner louver (${\theta}_i$ = -70$^{\circ}$) was found to improve the natural ventilation inside the factory building model effectively. The flow rate of the entrained air was increased with aligning the outer louver blades with the oncoming wind and guiding the entrained air down to the ground surface with elongated inner louver blades.

With the development of a living standard, the importance of indoor air conditioning system in all kinds of buildings and vehicles has increased. A lot of researches on energy losses in a duct and various kinds of flow pattern in branches or junctions have been carried out over many years, because the primary object of a duct system used in HVAC is to provide equal flow rate in the interior of each room by minimizing pressure drop. In this study, to get equal flow distribution in each branch, a blockage is applied to the rectangular duct system. The flow analysis for flow distribution of a rectangular duct with two branches was performed by CFD. By using SIMPLE algorithm and finite volume method, flow analysis is performed in the case of 3-D, incompressible, turbulent flow. Also, the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and wall function method were used for analysis of turbulent fluid flow. The distribution diagrams of static pressure, velocity vector, turbulent energy and kinetic energy in accordance with variation of Reynolds number and blockages location in a rectangular duct show that flow distribution at duct outlets is improved by a blockage. In this rectangular duct system, mean velocity and flow rate distribution in two branch outlets are nearly constant regardless of variation of Reynolds number, and a flow pattern of the internal duct has a same tendency as well.

In this study, performance, flow characteristics and noise of a cross-flow-fan system, used in indoor unit of the split-type air conditioner, were predicted by computational simulation. Triangular elements were used to mesh the calculation domain and quadrilateral elements were attached to the blade surfaces and walls to enhance the simulation quality. The unsteady incompressible Wavier-Stokes equations were solved using a sliding mesh technique on the interface between rotating fan region and the outside. Two stripes of velocity stream inside the cross-flow-fan were shown - the one was due to the eccentric vortex and the other was due to the normal entrance flow. As the flow rate increased, the center of the eccentric vortex moved toward the inner blade tip and rear-guide, and the exiting flow still had velocity variation along the stabilizer, which can increase the noise level. The acoustic pressure was calculated by using Lowson's equation. From the calculated acoustic pressure, it was found that the trailing edge is a dominant of acoustic generation.

The turbulent buoyancy-driven flow in 2-dimensional enclosed cavities heated from the vertical side is numerically calculated for both cases of a Rayleigh number of 5*10$^{10}$ for air and 2.5*10$^{10}$ for water. Three different turbulence models are considered : standard k-.epsilon. model of Ozoe and low-Reynolds-number model of Lam and Bremhorst, and another low-Reynolds-number model of Davidson. The results indicate that the use of low-Reynolds number models is recommended for the indoor airflow computation, and the results from Davidson model are reasonably close to the reported experimental data. A sensitivity study shows that the amounts of wall-heat transfer and the velocity profiles with the Lam and Bremhorst model largely depend on the choice of the wall function for .epsilon..

Exhaust system used in toilet and cooking place of high riser public house is roof fan of two basic types : natural roof ventilator and natural/forced roof ventilator. Natural/forced roof ventilator has a motor in the rotary shaft. There are many high riser public house in Korea. These buildings were not viewed as being major contributors to exhaust pollutants producted in indoor. It was because many engineers thought that exhaust in high riser building depend on stack effect. This study investigates on stack pressure determined by exterior pressure and the difference pressure control in exhaust stack used in high riser public house. This paper focuses mainly on the effect of the time interval for power supply of motor installed in roof fan with function of natural wind velocity and of exhaust air volume of toilet. It is observed there are higher exhaust efficiency than the existing natural roof ventilator.
