Purpose: Under the purpose of presenting the adequate remodeling period for the improvement of thermal insulation performance of external walls in deteriorated buildings, the change in external wall and residential environment problem(dew condensation) due to aged deterioration after the apartments were constructed in Korea were analyzed. Method: Temperature Difference Ratio Outside(TDRo) and Heat Flow Meter(HFM) were used as measurement methods to evaluate the thermal insulation performance of deteriorated buildings. For TDR evaluation, thermo-graphic camera was used to measure and analyze the surface temperature of external wall. Also, dew condensation evaluation was analyzed using the Temperature Difference Ratio Inside(TDRi). Result: As a result of analyzing thermal performance through TDRo, the first decline point of thermal insulation performance began after 14-16 years have passed since construction was completed, and after 20 years have passed the decline point of thermal insulation performance reappeared. As a result of analyzing U-value with HFM measurement method, the decline rate of external wall's thermal insulation performance is lower than 2% in average at around 5 years after completion, and 8.7% in average at 10-15 years, and over 10.2% in average at 20 years.

This study was carried out to establish an efficient selection condition for cold-tolerant individuals among evergreen Quercus spp. To select higher cold-tolerant individuals among four species of evergreen Quercus spp. (Q. acuta, Q. glauca, Q. myrsinaefoila, and Q. salicina), an-year-old seedlings of each species were exposed to low temperature in serial, and then examined for the death of cell tissue and the surface temperature was monitored. It was shown that the higher numbers of seedlings of Q. myrsinaefolia were survived than the others when those seedlings are exposed to cold stress. Thus, selection of the cold tolerant individuals was conducted on Q. myrsinaefolia seedlings. The limit low temperature condition for selecting cold-tolerant individuals was -6℃ for 24 hrs because no seedling of Q. myrsinaefolia was survived after exposed to -7℃ for 24 hours. It was shown that the leaf surface temperature of the selected individuals was higher than those of the non-selected individuals when they were exposed to cold-stress while monitoring them using thermal graphic camera. The results in this study can be used for expanding afforestation area of tree species of the warm temperate zone for preparation of climate change.

Purpose: The current study analyzed trends in thermal insulation performance with aging, and condensation characteristics caused by the former. Method: Thermal insulation and condensation prevention performance of an architecture were assessed using Temperature Difference Ration Inside, or TDRi. Subjects of this quantitative analysis in thermal insulation performance change due to aging included recently constructed apartments and aged apartments older than 40 years. Time series comparison and analysis were conducted to observed changes in the thermal insulation performance and condensation characteristics. Result: Analysis showed that wall insulation performance degraded with aging regardless of fortified insulating material usage or insulating material type, which caused increased danger of condensation. In addition, when fortified insulating material was installed on the connection between the walls, insulation performance degradation was lower compared to cases in which fortified materials were not used. In all cases from 1 to 10, the rate of thermal insulation performance degradation increased after 20 years of aging.

구제역 발생에 따른 피해는 매우 크기 때문에 구제역의 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 선제적인 구제역 진단 및 대응이 필수적이다. 주요 구제역 증상은 소의 체온 상승, 식욕 부진, 유량 감소, 입 발굽 유방에 물집 형성 등이며, 이중 확인하기 가장 쉽고 빠른 방법은 체온을 검사하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 선제적 구제역 대응을 위해 소 발굽 검출 알고리즘을 개발 구현하고, 축사에 고해상도 카메라 모듈과 열화상 카메라, 온습도 모듈 설치하여 발굽 검색 테스트를 시행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 알고리즘과 시스템을 통해 구제역 의심 가축의 조기 상황 대처를 할 수 있으며, 가축의 최적 성정 환경을 조성할 수 있다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 기존의 휴대용이 아닌 열화상 카메라를 활용한 구제역 대응 시스템은 축사에 고정으로 부착하여 별도 인력을 필요로 하지 않고 이미지 알고리즘을 통하여 가축의 발굽 온도를 자동 측정하는 기능과 스마트 폰을 활용한 자동 경고 기능을 가지고 있다. 이러한 시스템은 실시간을 구제역 가능성 예측을 가능케 하며, 별도의 인력이 없이 가축 질병에 대한 초동 방역 대응을 할 수 있다.

Thermal deformation, such as bending and twisting, occurs among the polymer parts of air-conditioner indoor units because of repetitive temperature change during heating operation. In this study, a numerical method employing finite-element analysis to efficiently simulate the thermal deformation of an assembly is proposed. Firstly, the displacement of an actual assembly produced by thermal deformation was measured using a 3D optical measurement system. The measurement results indicated a general downward sag of the assembly, and the maximum displacement value was approximately 1 mm. The temperature distribution was measured using a thermographic camera, and the results were used as initial-temperature boundary conditions to perform temperature-displacement analysis. The simulation results agreed well with the measured data. To reduce the thermal deformation, the stiffness increased 100%. As the results, the maximum displacement decreased by approximately 5.4% and the twisting deformation of the holder improved significantly.

Studies have shown that the thermal performance of buildings changes depending on the year of construction completion. It leads to increased energy consumption of buildings and significant financial burden on users. Thus, this study has calculated the thermal insulation performance of 86 apartments quantitatively, using temperature difference ratio and sensible heat flux. Also, energy consumption characteristics depending on the year of construction completion and thermal insulation performance were analyzed by comparatively analyzing the results of insulation performance evaluation and heating costs. The analysis results are as follows. As for thermal insulation performance, it was around 70% lower in the apartments completed before 1985, compared to apartments completed after 2010. As for heating costs, the apartments with the highest heating cost incurred 1.5 higher heating cost than the apartment with the lowest heating cost. In terms of the insulation performance evaluation, the difference was 2.5-fold.

Conventional fabrics that have modified in to conductive fabrics using conductive nanomaterials have novel applications in different fields. These of fabrics can be used as heat generators with the help of the Joule heating mechanism, which is applicable in thermal therapy and to maintain the warmth in cold weather conditions in a wearable manner. A modified fabric can also be used as a sensor for body temperature measurements using the variation of resistance with respect to the body temperature deviations. In this study, polyol synthesized silver nanowires (Ag NWs) are incorporated to commercially available cotton fabrics by using drop casting method to modify the fabric as a thermogenic temperature sensor. The variation of sheet resistance of the fabrics with respect to the incorporated mass of Ag NWs was measured by four probe technique while the bulk resistance variation with respect to the temperature was measured using a standard ohm meter. Heat generation profiles of the fabrics were investigated using thermo graphic camera. Electrically conductive fabrics, fabricated by incorporating 30 mg of Ag NWs in 25 ㎠ area of cotton fabric can be heated up to a maximum steady state temperature of 45℃, using a commercially available 9 V battery.

A drop weight impact test was conducted in this study to analyze the mechanical and thermal properties caused by the changes in the ratio of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) to ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) laminations. The ratios of CFRP to EVA were changed from 10:0 (pure CFRP) to 9:1, 8:2, 6:4, and 5:5 by manufacturing five different types of samples, and at the same time, the mechanical/thermal properties were analyzed with thermo-graphic images. As the ratio of the CFRP lamination was increased, in which the energy absorbance is dispersed by the fibers, it was more likely for the brittle failure mode to occur. In the cases of Type 3 through Type 5, in which the role of the EVA sheet is more prominent because it absorbs the impact energy rather than dispersing it, a clear form of puncture failure mode was observed. Based on the above results, it was found that all the observation values decreased as the EVA lamination increased compared with the CFRP lamination. The EVA lamination was thus found to have a very important role in reducing the impact. However, the strain and temperature were inversely propositional.

피치계 흑연섬유의 발열특성을 향상시키기 위하여 흑연섬유에 무전해법을 이용하여 구리 도금하였다. 구리 도금된 흑연섬유는 공기 분위기에서 열중량분석법을 실시하여 도금 시간에 따라 흑연섬유 표면에 구리가 도입된 양을 계산하였다. 또한, 전압에 따른 발열 온도는 섬유 가닥을 이용하여 열화상카메라로 관찰하였다. 무전해 도금의 시간이 증가함에 따라 도입된 구리의 양은 증가하였다. 20분 동안 무전해 도금한 섬유의 전기 전도도는 1594.3 S/cm이며, 발열 온도는 최대 $57.2^{\circ}C$로 가장 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 도금시간이 증가함에 따라 전기 전도성이 우수한 구리가 흑연섬유 표면에 성장하고, 이에 따라 발열특성이 향상된 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 흑연섬유(GF)의 전기적 특성을 변화시키기 위하여 질소관능기 도입을 실시하였고, 처리조건에 따라 흑연섬유의 발열성능을 평가하였다. 흑연섬유는 $200^{\circ}C$에서 2 h 동안 열-고상반응법으로 처리되었다. 질소도핑 된 흑연섬유의 표면특성은 XPS로 조사되었으며, 저항 및 발열온도는 전위계 시스템과 열화상카메라를 이용하여 측정하였다. XPS 결과 우레아 함량이 증가함에 따라 흑연섬유 표면의 질소관능기가 증가하였으며, 이 질소관능기가 도입됨에 따라서 흑연섬유의 발열특성이 또한 향상되었다. 우레아 처리된 흑연섬유의 최대 발열온도는 60 V에서 $53.8^{\circ}C$로 나타났으며, 이는 미처리 흑연섬유와 비교하여 발열특성이 약 55% 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 효과는 열고상반응법에 의해서 흑연섬유 표면에 도입된 질소관능기 때문에 기인한 것으로, 이는 흑연섬유의 열적 특성에 상당히 영향을 주었다.
