To estimate the cooling load for the following day, outdoor temperature and humidity are needed in hourly base. But the meteorological administration forecasts only maximum and minimum temperature. New methodology is proposed for predicting hourly outdoor temperature and humidity by using the forecasted maximum and minimum temperature. The correlations for normalized outdoor temperature and specific humidity has been derived from the weather data for five years from 2001 to 2005 at Seoul, Daejeon and Pusan. The correlations for normalized temperature are independent of date, while the correlations for specific humidity are linearly dependent on date. The predicted results show fairly good agreement with the measured data. The prediction program is also developed for hourly outdoor dry bulb temperature, specific humidity, dew point, relative humidity, enthalpy and specific volume.

The problem of constructing an bilinear observer for use in the control of superheater temperature with desuperheater is considered. The distributed heat input into the superheater is usually not available for use in the observer, and hence is treated as an unknown inputs. The bilinear observer theory for system with unknown inputs is exploited and applied to the problem.

In order to estimate strength of concrete, many attempts have been made. However, it is difficult to estimate concrete strength with ages. In this study, the factors influencing the strength of concrete such as w/c ratio and curing temperature, were investigated and results predicted by the established strength models were compared to measured strength data. It is found that in general the estimated values are approximate to the test results. In order to accurately predict the concrete strength curing temperature factor should be employed in the strength models.

The problem of constructing an observer for use in the control of superheater temperature with desuperheater is considered. The distributed heat input into the superheater is usually not available for use in the observer, and hence is treated as a disturbance. The observer theory for systems with unknown inputs is exploited and applied to the problem. Approximation of the heat input utilizing the specific heat input distribution pattern is also considered.

The residual thermal stresses at the interface corner between the elastic substrate and the viscoelastic thin film due to cooling from cure temperature down to room temperature have been studied. The polymeric thin film was assumed to be thermorheologically simple. The boundary element method was employed to investigate the nature of stresses on the whole interface. Numerical results show that very large stress gradients are present at the interface comer and such stress singularity might lead to edge cracks or delamination.

Due to the temporal and spatial simultaneity and the high-frequency repetition, the data set retrieved from the satellite observation is considered to be the most desirable ones for the study of air-sea interaction. With rapidly developing sensor technology, satellite-retrieved data has experienced improvement in the accuracy and the number of parameters. Nevertheless, since it is still impossible to directly measure the heat fluxes between air and sea, the bulk method is an exclusive way for the evaluation of the heat fluxes at the sea surface. It was noted that the large deviation of air temperature in the winter season by the linear regression despite good correlation coefficients. We propose a new algorithm based on the Fourier series with which the SST and the air temperature. We found that the mean of air temperature is a function of the mean of SST with the monthly gradient of SST inferred from the latitudinal variation of SST and the spectral energy of air temperature is related linearly to that of SST. An algorithm to obtain the air temperature over the sea was completed with a proper analysis on the relation between of air temperature and of SST. This algorithm was examined by buoy data and therefore the air temperature over the sea can be retrieved based on just satellite data.

We compared relative importance of thermal conductivity and initial ground temperature in designing borehole heat exchanger network and also we test accuracy of ground temperature estimation in thermal response test using a proven 3-D T-H modeler. The effect of error in estimating ground temperature on calculated total length of borehole heat exchanger was more than 3 times larger than the case of thermal conductivity in maximum 20% error range. Considering 10% of error in estimating thermal conductivity is generally acceptable, we have to define the initial ground temperature within 5% confidence level. Utilizing the mean annual ground surface temperature and the geothermal gradient map compiled so far can be a economic way of estimating ground temperature with some caution. When performing thermal response test for estimating ground temperature as well as measuring thermal conductivity, minimum 100 minutes of ambient circulation is required, which should be even more in case of very cold and hot seasons.

Debye temperature is an important thermodynamical factor in quantum dots (QDs); it can be used to determine the degree of homogeneity of a QD structure as well as to study the interdiffusion mechanism during growth. Direct estimation of the Debye temperature can be obtained using the Varshni relation. The Varshni relation is an empirical formula that can interpret the change of emission energy with temperature as a result of phonon interaction. On the other hand, phonons energy can be calculated using the Fan Expression. The Fan expression and Varshni relation are considered equivalent at a temperature higher than Debye temperature for InAs quantum dot. We investigated InAs quantum dot optically, the photoluminescence spectra and peak position dependency on temperature has been discussed. We applied a mathematical treatment using Fan expression, and the Varshni relation to obtain the Debye temperature and the phonon energy for InAs quantum dots sample. Debye temperature increase about double compared to bulk crystal. We concluded that the In/Ga interdiffusion during growth played a major role in altering the quantum dot thermodynamical parameters.

This study is concerned with the thermal analysis during the cool-down period of 135,000㎥ class GT-96 membrane type LNG carrier under IMO and USCG design condition. During the cool-down period, the spraying rate for the NG cooling decreases as the temperature of NG falls down from -4$0^{\circ}C$ to -l3$0^{\circ}C$, and the spraying rate for the cooling of the insulation wall increases as the temperature gradient of the insulation wall is large. It was confirmed that there existed the largest temperature decrease at the first barrier and the first insulation, which are among the insulation wall, especially in the top side of the insulation wall under IMO and USCG design condition. Also, as the NG temperature distribution is fixed, the outer temperature condition under the design condition has influence on the temperature variation at the insulation. By the 3-D numerical calculation about the cargo tank and the cofferdam during the cool-down period, the temperature variation in hulls and insulations is precisely predicted under IMO and USCG design condition. From the comparison between two conditions; IMO design condition shows more severe temperature gradient than USCG design condition, therefore, it provides the conservative estimation of the BOG.

Pressure sensors are used in various industries such as automobiles, airplanes, medical equipment, and coolers. Even if the ambient temperature changes, the measurement is reliable and stable. In this study a diaphragm-type pressure sensor was used to derive a temperature-compensated pressure estimation equation for accurate pressure measurement at $100^{\circ}C$ and $-40^{\circ}C$. To understand the characteristics of the pressure sensor diaphragm with respect to temperature and pressure, experiments were conducted in temperature-variable chamber using FEM analysis to confirm that the influence of temperature effect was nonlinear. Based on the experimental results, a nonlinear method for calculating the pressure by compensating for the error due to temperature was derived. The calculated pressure value is lower than 0.5 % at low and high temperatures, and lower than 0.4 % at $22^{\circ}C$, thereby eliminating the effect of temperature.
