최근 몇 년 동안 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 탄소중립 혹은 저탄소 운영의 중요성이 강조되어왔다. 상수도 관망은 직접적인 탄소 배출 시설물은 아니지만, 상수도 관망의 운영 그리고 구성요소의 제조부터 폐기까지의 전 생애주기 동안 막대한 양의 에너지를 사용하는데, 이러한 에너지의사용이 탄소 배출에 간접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 수자원공사에 따르면, '17년 기준 수도사업 관련 전기 사용에 따른 간접 배출이 70만tCO2eq에 이르는 것으로 보고되고 있어, 에너지의 효율적인 운영 및 자산관리 체계의 필요성이 커지고 있는 실정이다. 상수도 관망의 에너지 효율에 영향을 주는 요인은 크게 구성요소의 노후와 누수로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상수도 관망 관로 별 노후와 누수 여부를 판단하여 교체 전략을 수립할 수 있는 자산관리 모형을 제안하고 관로별 에너지 효율을 시각화하여 전반적인 자산관리에 근거를 제시하고자 한다. 모형은 최적화 기법을 통한 관로별 기능적 노후도 산정 및 누수 탐지, 관만 내 누수 지역화, 에너지 효율 시각화 등 총 3개의 모듈로 구성되어 있다. 제안한 모형은 고도의 차이가 큰 국내 D시 가상 관망에 적용하였다. 해당 관망에 다양한 관로의 노후 및 누수 상황을 가정하여 가상의 데이터를 생성하고 이를 토대로 관로별 기능적 노후와 누수 조건을 고려하여 해당 모형을 검증한다. 또한, 노후와 누수에 따른 가상 상황별 관로의 자산관리 의사결정 예시를 제공하여 향후 모형의 활용에 대한 가이드 라인을 제시한다. 마지막으로 관망 내 설치된 감압밸브를 터빈으로 전환하여 관망 운영 단계에서 무의미하게 소산되는 열에너지를 회수하는 방안을 검증하였다. 최적화 기법을 통해 비용 대비 최적 터빈 설치 지역을 선정하였고 향후 터빈 설치에 고려해야 할 사항을 정리한다. 본 연구에서의 결과는 향후 종합적인 저탄소형 상수도 관망을 위한 초석을 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

Indirect calorimetry is the measurement of the amount of heat generated in an oxidation reaction by determining the intake or consumption of oxygen or by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide or nitrogen released and translating these quantities into a heat equivalent. In the last 20 years there has been significant development in both laboratory and computerized metabolic systems used in indirect calorimetry. In addition, there has been increased use of breath-by-breath EGAIC. Several researchers have suggested that breath-by-breath analysis, because of their practicality, could fulfill this need for a valid and reliable expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry instrument. It was hoped this investigation would determine the best validation for a precise measurement of breath-by-breath expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry. The problem with the available research is that few studies have examined the validity and reliability of all these different systems for breath-by-breath expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry. Therefore, there is a need to find out the most valid, reliable, and precise measurement of the breath-by-breath expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry.

For the hydrogen liquefaction, the large amount of energy is consumed, due to precooling, liquefaction and o-p conversion processes. The aim of this work is to improve the performance of hydrogen liquefaction process by introducing the new energy saving processes, that are the liquid nitrogen precooling process by using LNG cold energy, and the new design of cold box insulation using cold air circulation. The results show that the indirect use of LNG cold energy in precooling process enables not only to get energy saving, but to make safer operation of liquefaction plant. In new cold box, the energy loss of equipments could be reduced by nearly 35%~50% compared to the present perlite insulation, if insulation structure is organised as 3mm steel wall/20cm PUF/5cm air/20cm PUF/equipment. Additionally the equipments installed in cold box can get cooling effect, if the temperature is higher than the temperature of cold air. The application of this results can gives to increase the liquid yield of about 50% substantially in industrial hydrogen liquefaction plant.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of an indirect oxidation zone in an electrolysis reactor that used Ti/$IrO_2$ as the anode and SUS 316L as the cathode. Based on our preliminary results, the electrolysis reactor was operated with pole plate interval of 6 mm, current density 1.0 $A/dm^2L$ and electrolyte concentration 15%. The removal efficiency, COD (chemical oxygen demand), was additionally increased by 55% and 12.5${\sim}$15.0% in the direct and indirect oxidation zones, respectively. The removal efficiencies of T-N (total nitrogen) and T-P (total phosphorus) were found to be 88% and 75%, respectively. It was shown that the additional effect of the indirect oxidation zone on the removal was nearly negligible. Also, as the removal of COD,T-N and T-P took place during the initial2${\sim}$5 days of reaction, it was concluded that there was no need to extend the retention time of the electrolysis reactor.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the possible cause of falling owing to mechanical energy in elderly women as compared to young women when performing the sit-to-walk movement. Two groups participated in this study: 10 elderly women and 10 young women. We used a ProReflex MCU camera (Qualisis, Sweden) and ground reaction force to evaluate the mechanical work. The muscle power (W) showed the same low negative work in both groups in the extension phase of the knee and hip joints while varying the angular velocity and net muscle moment of force. Elderly women, in particular, showed lower negative work. In mechanical work (J), the knee and hip joints of both groups showed the same amount of negative work in the extension phase. In the hip joint, elderly women showed lower negative work results in each phase. These result showed the possible reasons of falling for elderly women according to the weakness of the thigh muscle of the hip joint during the sit-to-walk movement.

A preliminary study has been done to investigate the thermal performance of an indirect system. Direct systems are also analyzed and the results are compared with those of the indirect system where possible. Values from the numerical simulation show very good agreement with the measured data. Although the indirect system is generally expensive and not as efficient as direct systems, it is more reliable in frigid weather conditions like the winters in Korea.

In Korea, the summer is hot and humid, and much electricity is consumed for air conditioning. Thus, the simultaneous usage of an indirect evaporative cooler and a common air conditioner could reduce the sensible heat and save electricity. This study developed a U-type cross-counter flow indirect evaporative cooler (IEC) made of plastic and paper. The efficiencies were compared with those of a cross-flow IEC. The specimen was $500mm{\times}500mm{\times}1000mm$. the results show that the indirect evaporation efficiencies of the cross-counter flow sample were 6-21% higher than those of the cross-flow sample. The pressure drops of the cross-counter sample were 51-66% higher. Thermal analysis based on the -NTU method predicted the experimental data within 10%. The electrical energy saved by the use of the cross-counter flow IEC was larger than that of the counter flow IEC, and the difference increases with the velocity. However, the the cross-counter IEC is two times larger than the cross-flow IEC, which may increase the material cost and water usage.
