Recently, the use of renewable energy has been attracted due to the interest in energy-saving and the reduction of CO2 emission. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the cooling and the heating in the field of the architectural engineering, heat pump systems using renewable energy have been developed and used in various applications. In many researches, integrated heat pump systems are suggested which use solar and geothermal heat as the heat source for cooling and heating. However, it is still difficult to predict the performance of the systems, because the characteristic of heat exchange in each system is complicated and various. In this system, the performance prediction simulation of the heat pump was developed using a dynamic simulation model. This paper describes the summary of the suggested systems and the result of the simulation. The average temperature of the heat source, heating loads and COP were calculated with the cases of different local conditions, different system composition and different operation time by TRNSYS 17.

To improve safety analysis technology for a nuclear reactor containment considering an interaction between a reactor coolant system (RCS) and containment, this study aims at an experimental investigation on the integrated simulation of the RCS and containment, with an integral effect test facility, ATLAS-CUBE. For a realistic simulation of a pressure and temperature (P/T) transient, the containment simulation vessel was designed to preserve a volumetric scale equivalently to the RCS volume scale of ATLAS. Three test cases for a steam line break (SLB) transient were conducted with variation of the initial condition of the passive heat sink or the steam flow direction. The test results indicated a stratified behavior of the steam-gas mixture in the containment following a high-temperature steam injection in prior to the spray injection. The test case with a reduced heat transfer on the passive heat sink showed a faster increase of the P/T inside the containment. The effect of the steam flow direction was also investigated with respect to a multi-dimensional distribution of the local heat transfer on the passive heat sink. The integral effect test data obtained in this study will contribute to validating the evaluation methodology for mass and energy (M/E) and P/T transient of the containment.

Due to the importance of the surface on the final slab quality, it is essential to maintain a smooth segment roll surface that is in touch with the thin solid shell during solidification. In this paper, the surface of the used continuous casting guide roll was analyzed to realize the mechanism of its surface deterioration. Surface analysis has revealed severe corrosion at two distinct areas leading to deep roughness occurring on the guide roll. Firstly, the severe corrosion follows prior austenite grain boundary due to exposure with acidic environment. Also, in heat affected zone (HAZ) where two cladding beads overlap, more severe corrosion takes place. The overheat input results in local ferritization without full melting which increases retained δ-ferrite content almost 10 times higher than surrounding area. Corrosion was observed to happen at the δ-γ interface where Cr depletion takes place.

To study the evolution mechanism of cracks in rocks with multiple defects, rock-like samples with multiple defects, such as strip-shaped through-going cracks and cavity groups, are used, and the crack propagation law and changes in AE (acoustic emission) and strain of cavity groups under different inclination angles are studied. According to the test results, an increase in the cavity group inclination angle can facilitate the initial damage degree of the rock and weaken the crack initiation stress; the initial crack initiation direction is approximately 90°, and the extension angle is approximately 75~90° from the strip-shaped through-going cracks; thus, the relationship between crack development and cavity group initiation strengthens. The specific performance is as follows: when the initiation angle is 30°, the cracks between the cavities in the cavity group develop relatively independently along the parallel direction of the external load; when the angle is 75°, the cracks between the cavities in the cavity group can interpenetrate, and slip can occur along the inclination of the cavity group under the action of the shear mechanism rupture. With the increase in the inclination angle of the cavity group, the AE energy fluctuation frequency at the peak stress increases, and the stress drop is obvious. The larger the cavity group inclination angle is, the more obvious the energy accumulation and the more severe the rock damage; when the cavity group angle is 30° or 75°, the peak strain of the local area below the strip-shaped through-going fracture plane is approximately three times that when the cavity group angle is 45° and 60°, indicating that cracks are easily generated in the local area monitored by the strain gauge at this angle, and the further development of the cracks weakens the strength of the rock, thereby increasing the probability of major engineering quality damage. The research results will have important reference value for hazard prevention in underground engineering projects through rock with natural and artificial defects, including tunnels and air-raid shelters.

When a welded circular hollow section (CHS) tubular joint is subjected to brace axial loading, failure position is located usually at the weld toe on the chord surface due to the weak flexural stiffness of the thin-walled chord. The failure mode is local yielding or buckling in most cases for a tubular joint subjected to axial load at the brace end. Especially when a cyclic axial load is applied, fracture failure at the weld toe may occur because both high stress concentration and welding residual stress along the brace/chord intersection cause the material in this region to become brittle. To improve the ductility as well as to increase the static strength, a tubular joint can be reinforced by increasing the chord thickness locally near the brace/chord intersection. Both experimental investigation and finite element analysis have been carried out to study the hysteretic behaviour of the reinforced tubular joint. In the experimental study, the hysteretic performance of two full-scale circular tubular T-joints subjected to cyclic load in the axial direction of the brace was investigated. The two specimens include a reinforced specimen by increasing the wall thickness of the chord locally at the brace/chord intersection and a corresponding un-reinforced specimen. The hysteretic loops are obtained from the measured load-displacement curves. Based on the hysteretic curves, it is found that the reinforced specimen is more ductile than the un-reinforced one because no fracture failure is observed after experiencing similar loading cycles. The area enclosed by the hysteretic curves of the reinforced specimen is much bigger, which shows that more energy can be dissipated by the reinforced specimen to indicate the advantage of the reinforcing method in resisting seismic action. Additionally, finite element analysis is carried out to study the effect of the thickness and the length of the reinforced chord segment on the hysteretic behaviour of CHS tubular T-joints. The optimized reinforcing method is recommended for design purposes.

직사각형 폭발 챔버에서 전파하는 화염과 직사각형 장애물의 상관관계를 조사하기 위한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. 챔버내에 10%, 20%및 30%의 blockage ratio를 가지는 3가지 직사각형 장애물들이 사용되었다. 전파하는 화염과 장애물의 상관관계를 조사하기 위해 고속카메라가 사용되었다. 고속카메라로 얻어진 화염 이미지로부터 장애물 주위의 국부 화염속도 및 그 화염속도의 확률밀도함수가 계산되었다. 실험결과, 전파하는 화염이 직사각형 장애물의 모서리와 상호작용할 때 국부 화염속도는 증가하였다. 그 증가속도는 장애물의 Blockage Ratio가 증가할 때 더욱 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 평균화염속도는 Blockage Ratio에 큰 의존성을 가지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구에서 사용된 작은 L(Lenlgth)/D(Diameter)비를 가지는 폭발 챔버내에서 전파하는 화염전면과 직사각형 장애물과의 상관관계는 L/D비가 큰 문헌에서 보고된 결과와 비교하면, Blockage Ratio에 따른 의존성은 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Characteristic of aluminum-silicon alloy paste which is applied on the rear side of PERC cell was investigated. The paste was made by aluminum-silicon alloy with eutectic composition to avoid the formation of void which is responsible for the degradation of the open-circuit voltage. Also, the glass frit component of the paste was changed to improve the adhesion of aluminum-silicon paste. We observed the formation of void and local back surface field between aluminum electrode and silicon base by SEM. The light IV, quantum efficiency and reflectance of the solar cells were characterized and compared for each paste.

센서 네트워크에서 데이터 저장소 기법은 해쉬 테이블을 기반으로 네트워크상의 센서노드들을 저장소로 간주한다. 센서노드들은 해쉬 테이블에서 추출된 노드에 데이터를 저장하며 질의를 전송하는 사용자들도 해쉬 테이블을 이용하여 원하는 데이터가 저장된 센서노드에 접근한다. 이러한 데이터 저장소 기법의 문제점들 중 하나는 데이터를 저장하는 노드에 질의가 집중될 경우 질의에 대한 응답시간이 길어질 수 있으며 부하집중으로 에너지가 빠르게 고갈되어 네트워크 수명이 단축될 수 있다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 적응적 지역 트라젝토리 기반의 데이터 저장소 (Data Centric Storage based on Adaptive Local Trajectory, ALT)기법을 제안한다. ALT기법에서는 데이터를 저장할 노드를 중심으로 트라젝토리를 형성하며 질의 빈도의 변화에 따라 적응적으로 트라젝토리 범위를 변화시킨다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 ALT기법이 기존의 데이터 저장소 기법에 비해 질의 빈도에 따라 빠른 응답시간을 제공함을 보이며 질의처리를 위한 부하가 여러 노드로 분산됨을 보인다. 또한 이를 통하여 노드의 에너지 소모도 분산됨으로써 네트워크 수명을 연장할 수 있음을 설명한다.

This study presents the achievements and limitations of the voluntary-based Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) through statistical analysis of water quality monitoring data and performance assessments of TMDL plans implemented in the Gyeongan watershed. The results clearly showed that responsible local governments complied the allocated TMDL and the designated water quality goals were successfully achieved in the required period. This was possible because the Ministry of Environment provided innovative incentives, such as, relaxations of the existing tight land-use regulations and full-scale financial aids for constructing and operating public treatment facilities to draw local government voluntary participation. However, a couple of problems which decreased the effectiveness and efficiency of the voluntary TMDL were identified. The different TMDL implementation schedules between upstream (Yongin) and downstream (Gwangju) governments caused delay in water quality improvement and exaggerated TMDL allocation to the local development which made excessive investment in the treatment facilities. Although it is not directly related to the voluntary scheme, technical methods for establishing and assessing the water quality goals should be improved so that the effects of flow conditions on water quality are properly assessed. We expect that results of this case study contribute to developing a more effective voluntary-based scheme for the implementation of the so-called 'tributary TMDL' in the future.
