Thermal performance of a solar heating plastic greenhouse designed for a hydroponic system was studied. The system was constructed with the air-water heat exchanger and thermal storage tank that were combined with hydroponic water beds. Experiments were carried out to investigate the daily average heat stored and released in thermal storage tank, average solar energy collection efficiency, average coefficient of performance, average oil reduction factor of thermal storage system, and the heat transfer coefficient during the nighttime in plastic greenhouse. The results obtained in the present study are summarized as follows. 1. Daily average heat stored in thermal storage tank and released from the thermal storage tank was 1,259 and $797KJ/m^2$ day, respectively. 2. The average solar energy collection efficiency of thermal storage tank was 0.125 during the experiment period. And the average coefficient of performance of thermal storage system in plastic greenhouse was 3.6. 3. The average oil reduction factor of thermal storage system and the heat transfer coefficient during the nighttime in plastic greenhouse were found to be 0.52 and $4.3W/m^2\;hr\;^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This paper presents experimental and numerical study on buckling behaviors and hysteretic performance of Class 1 H-shaped steel beam subjected to cyclic pure bending within the scope of ultra-low cycle fatigue (ULCF). A loading device was designed to achieve the pure bending loading condition and 4 H-shaped specimens with a small width-to-thickness ratio were tested under 4 different loading histories. The emphasis of this work is on the impacts induced by local buckling and subsequent ductile fracture. The experimental and numerical results indicate that the specimen failure is mainly induced by elasto-plastic local buckling, and is closely correlated with the plastic straining history. Compared with monotonic loading, the elasto-plastic local buckling can occur at a much smaller displacement amplitude due to a number of preceding plastic reversals with relative small strain amplitudes, which is mainly correlated with decreasing tangent modulus of the material under cyclic straining. Ductile fracture is found to be a secondary factor leading to deterioration of the load-carrying capacity. In addition, a new ULCF life evaluation method is proposed for the specimens using the concept of energy decomposition, where the cumulative plastic energy is classified into two categories as isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening correlated. A linear correlation between the two energies is found and formulated, which compares well with the experimental results.

Aluminum plate heat exchanger, rotary wheel heat exchanger, and heat pipe heat exchanger have been used (or ventilation heat recovery in the air-conditioning system. The purpose of this research is to develop high efficiency plastic plate heat exchanger which can substitute aluminum plate heat exchanger. Because thermal conductivity of plastic is quite small compared to that of aluminum, various heat transfer enhancement techniques are applied in the design of plastic plates. Five types of heat exchanger model are designed and manufactured, which are plate type, plate-fin type, turbulent promoter type, corrugate type, and dimple type. Thermal performance and pressure loss of each heat exchangers are measured in various operating conditions, and compared each other. Test results show that heat transfer performance of corrugate type, turbulent promoter type, and dimple type are increases about $43\%$, $14\%$, and $33\%$ at the equivalent fan power compared to those of plate type, respectively. On the other hand, the heat transfer performance of plate-fin type decreases $9\%$ because fins can not play their own role.

Plastic plate heat exchangers have many advantages over the conventional heat exchangers such as aluminum plate heat exchangers, rotary wheel heat exchangers and heat pipe heat exchangers which have been used for ventilation heat recovery in the air-conditioning systems. In the present study, pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of plastic plate heat exchangers are investigated for various design parameters and operating conditions which affect the performance of the plastic plate heat exchangers. In flat plate type heat exchanger, material thickness and channel height of heat exchanger are considered, and corrugate size and heat transfer area are considered in case of corrugate type heat exchanger. Pressure drop and effectiveness of the corrugate type heat exchanger increase as the corrugate size decreases.

현재 인류는 플라스틱(plastic) 세상에 살고 있다. 의류, 식품, 주거 생활 곳곳에 플라스틱이 존재하며, 플라스틱이 없는 세상은 상상조차 할 수 없다. 하지만, 플라스틱 사용량 증가에 따른 폐플라스틱의 배출량의 증가는 심각한 환경문제들을 야기하여 생태계뿐만 아니라 인간에게도 위협이 되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 단순히 폐플라스틱의 처리에 그치지 않고, 이를 활용하여 새로운 고부가가치의 생성물을 제조하는 플라스틱 업사이클링(plastic upcycling) 시스템이 최근 주목을 받고 있으며, 현재 다양한 형태로 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 그 중의 한가지로 본 기고문에서는 알칸 교차 복분해(cross alkane metathesis) 반응을 소개한다. 알칸 교차 복분해 반응은 수소화/탈수소화(hydrogenation/dehydrogenation) 반응과 올레핀 복분해(olefin metathesis) 반응으로 이루어져, 탈수소화 반응 후 생성된 이중결합 탄소를 갖는 두 개의 알켄 화합물이 자리바꿈을 통해 새로운 이중 결합을 형성하는 반응이다. 이 촉매반응 과정이 반복되면 저분자화된 새로운 알칸 화합물을 생성되는데, 이는 기존의 플라스틱 처리방식인 열분해 및 촉매 분해 공정보다 낮은 반응온도를 요구한다. 또한 이를 통해 상대적으로 높은 순도의 가솔린 및 디젤을 생성할 수 있기 때문에 폐플라스틱 처리 공정의 새로운 대안기술이 될 수 있다. 본 기고문에서 폐플라스틱 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 폴리에틸렌을 처리하는 대안기술로써 알칸 교차 복분해 반응의 메커니즘과 및 촉매의 역할, 그리고 반응성에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 기술한다.

In this paper, the main emphasis and focus will be to study and illuminate the nature of Plastic Energy Dissipation (PED) in variety of polymers. This PED term represents the heat generated during the irreversible deformation of a polymer solid. A series of experiments for various polymers have been conducted in direct measurement method and indirect evaluation method - the incremental strain stress relaxation ((ISSR) method. The experimental evidence to relate the stress relaxation and the sensible temperature rise were revealed by the series of direct method experiments.

The dynamic fatigue life equation is applied to uniaxial tensile test. The resultant equations far the surface energy and fracture toughness are calculated with the data from the tensile test and compared with the ones from ASTM E399 test. During the crack propagation under model loading, the material of the crack tip undergoes the process of the elastic-plastic deformation in the uniaxial tensile test. The surface energy per unit area is proportional to the ratio of plastic and elastic elongations. The calculated fracture toughness of the metals are very well coincident to the ASTM E399's test results.

Energy-dissipative rocking (EDR) columns are a class of seismic mitigation device capable of dissipating seismic energy and preventing weak-story failure of moment resisting frames (MRFs). An EDR consists of two hinge-supported steel columns interconnected by steel dampers along its height. Under earthquakes, the input seismic energy can be dissipated by plastic energy of the steel dampers in the EDR column. However, the unrecoverable plastic deformation of steel dampers generally results in residual drifts in the structural system. This paper presents a proof-of-concept study on an innovative device, namely self-centring energy-dissipative rocking (SC-EDR) column, aiming at enabling self-centring capability of the EDR column by installing a set of shape memory alloy (SMA) tension braces. The working mechanism of the SC-EDR column is presented in detail, and the feasibility of the new device is carefully examined via experimental and numerical studies considering the parameters of the SMA bar diameter and the steel damper plate thickness. The seismic responses including load carrying capacities, stress distributions, base rocking behaviour, source of residual deformation, and energy dissipation are discussed in detail. A rational combination of the steel damper and the SMA tension braces can achieve excellent energy dissipation and self-centring performance.
