Extracorporeal circulation support system is a device for repiratory and heart failure treatment, and there have been many trials for development and clinical application in the world. These devices need to be careful while using is air embolism. Air embolism can be a lethal complication of surgical procedures during which venous pressure at the site of surgery is sub-atmospheric or air is forced under pressure into a body cavity or using extracorporeal circulation support system. To solve the problem, we developed the air detector using relative dielectric constant change. In experiments with a mock circulation system, the proposed system showed a signal difference depending on the amount of air in the tube.

UV-ray air cleaner consisted of 6 watt UV lamp and fan was developed to sanitize air of refrigerator. Light intensity of the lamp showed 5 times of D value of Bacillus subtilis and air velocity around the lamp in holding section was 0.7 m/s, giving 0.33s of the resident time. The performance of air cleaner was tested with bacterial contaminator sprayed with suspension of Bacillus subtilis and hey powder. The device effectively decreased 80% of the population of airborn spore after 100 min operation at room temperature.

온도 성층화는 많은 저수지와 댐에서 흔히 발생하는 현상으로 호수나 저수지의 표면 온도가 바닥보다 상대적으로 높아 깊이에 따른 열 구배를 나타낸다. 이러한 온도 성층화 현상은 여름철과 같이 상부와 하부의 온도 차가 클수록 안정적이게 나타나며 이러한 층화 현상으로 수직 확산이 제어되어 수질에 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 댐이나 호수 등 층화 현상이 심한 유체 내부 바닥에 물순환장치를 설치하여 외부로부터 공기를 끌어와 하부에서 공기를 분출하여 온도 성층을 약화시키기도 한다. 물순환 장치를 설비하면 수체의 혼합이 용이해지며 물질전달이 개선되어 수질이 향상된다. 국내의 경우 대청댐, 보령댐, 영주 댐 등 많은 국내 댐 내부에 물순환장치가 설비되어있다. 본 연구에서 댐의 물순환장치의 성능을 파악하기 위해 산기식 물순환 장비가 설치되어있는 영주댐을 연구 대상 지역으로 잡았다. 연구지역의 계절별 성층구조 및 특성을 조사하기 위해, 봄, 여름, 가을 영주댐에 방문하여 관측 자료를 취득하였으며 물순환 장치는 봄철의 경우만 가동하였다. 봄철의 물순환 장치 가동 전후 관측 데이터를 바탕으로 수치모형실험을 실행하여 관측 결과와 비교 및 검증하였다. 이를 바탕으로 여름, 가을에 물순환장치를 가동하였을 경우 댐 내부 수체의 혼합과정을 살펴보는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 위해 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 OpenFOAM(version 4.0)에서 열 전달이 포함되어있는 비압축성 VOF 솔버를 사용하였다. 본 솔버는 물과 공기를 동시에 나타낼 수 있으며 온도의 확산 방정식을 포함하고 있다. 또한 유동해석 수행 시 사용한 물순환장치의 효울은 실제 장치의 효율과 동일하다. 본 연구의 목표는 다음과 같다. (1) 관측만으로 파악하기 어려운 수체의 혼합거동을 유동해석 자료를 통해 면밀히 살펴보고 (2) 봄철 물순환 장치가 작동하기 전후 자료를 바탕으로 여름 및 가을철 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 유동해석 자료로 취득한다. (3) 또한 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 통해 계절별 혼합 효율을 취득한다.

곡물 빈에서 벼 건조시 외기 온도에 따른 연료 자동 조절 및 배출공기의 재순환이 에너지 소비, 건조비용 및 건조 시간에 미치는 효과를 분석하기 위해 슬램 II(SLAM II : Simulation Language for Alternative Modeing II)를 이용한 시뮬레이션 모텔을 개발하였다. 따라서 약 64톤의 벼를 연료 자동조절 버너를 갖춘 곡물빈에서 열풍 건조할 때, 절약 가능한 에너지 양과 공기 재순환의 효과를 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였으며 이를 실제의 자료와 비교하여 이 모델을 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션에 의한 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 배출공기를 재순환 시키지 않는 상태에서 자동 연료조절 버너를 사용할 경우 관행 버너를 이용한 빈 시스템에 비해, 루이지애나 주에서 8월에 25%의 에너지를 절약할 수 있으며 12월에는 8%의 에너지를 절약할 수 있다. 실제의 건조 실험에서는 8월에 약 30%의 에너지를 절감할 수 있었다. 2. 자동 연료조절 버너를 갖춘 빈 시스템에서 제습을 하지 않은 배출 공기의 재순환은 건조 에너지 소비량과 건조 시간을 증가시켰으며 연료 자동조절 장치의 에너지 절약 효과를 감소시켰다. 따라서 배출 공기를 재순환하여 에너지를 절감하고자 할 때에는 반드시 배출 공기를 제습시켜 습도를 재조절 해야만 했다. 또한 제습된 공기의 재순환 효과는 여름보다 겨울에 더 컸다. 3. 연료 자동조절 버너를 갖춘 빈 시스템에서 벼를 건조할 경우 루이지애나 주, 8월에 물벼의 톤당 건조 비용은 $2.13이었으며 관행 버너를 갖춘 시스템에서는 $2.69이었다. 실험에 의한 실제 건조비용은 자동화 시스템에서 $2.17이었고 관행 시스템에서는 $2.62이었다.

Since the air stream in the room controlled by HVAC system affects on he expected response of conventional detectors which are designed in accordance with normal characteristics of air stream in the fire incident, unexpected operation time delay may occur in fire. In order to solve this problem and to improve sensitivity so that to initiate fire in its early stages for minimizing damage and protecting people, we studied and developed Air Sampling Smoke Detector. The Air Sampling Smoke Detector is a kind of active-type fire detection system. it draws air continuously from the protected area through an air sampling pipe network to the smoke density analyzer. This study presents smoke density analysing technique and air intake balancing technique through an air sampling pipe network. As a result of evaluating, Air Sampling Smoke Detector was much more sensitive than conventional smoke detectors that passively wait for smoke to reach them and was not affected by ambient airflow in the room by means of balanced air intake through the sampling holes.

The saturator and injection nozzle are important facilities on the dissolved air flotation process. To increase the formation of micro bubble, it is required to improve the air dissolving performance in the saturator and keep the pressure uniform from the saturator to the nozzle. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the saturator and the hydraulic effect of the nozzle and the pipe structure. The air volume concentration, bubble size and bubble residual time were measured in the test. The saturator, which had mounted with the spray nozzle, showed a good performance for bubble formation. Also, the characteristics of micro bubble formation were influenced by pressure uniformity and flow velocity through the orifice in the nozzle.

Existing composting system was improved to have a high performance for organic degradation, deodorization and energy reduction. Compared with conventional devices, this developed system uses the heat recovered from platinum catalytic tower by three times heat exchange in which 65% of exhaust gas was recirculated. Evaporation of water was made easy by maintaining negative pressure in entire system. It was possible for reaction to be maintained steadily by microorganism agent. The optimum mixing volume ratio of garbage to sawdust was 15:1 contrary to 20:1 in conventional one. Moreover, aerobic condition was maintained efficiently. Effects obtained by using a inner circulation system were as follows. It was possible to reduce the ammonia causing offensive odor and verified that consumption of electricity cut down to 1/3 with reduction of exhaust gas inflowing. According to this inner circulation, the optimum air flow was $0.44m^3$ to 100kg treatment capacity. The electricity consumption was changed in proportion to inflowing air volume.

The purpose of the present study is to elucidate flue gas recirculation device for reduction of nitrogen oxides using coanda nozzle without adopting additional power driving fan in a waste incinerator. The characteristics of the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate and the average temperature change at the outlet of the mixed gas were investigated according to the change of air supply nozzle gap and the position of air supply nozzle. When the gap of the air supply nozzle was changed to 3.22, 4.03, and 4.84 mm, the largest recirculation flow ratio, which is the ratio of exhaust gas recirculation flow rate and air supply flow rate, was 2.227 for the case with 3.22 mm and its mean temperature at outlet was $594.8^{\circ}C$. When the position of the air supply nozzle changes to the front position, neck position, and expansion position of the coanda nozzle neck, the recirculation flow ratios at the forward position and the neck position were nearly almost the same value, 1.843, and 1.696 at the expansion position, their mean temperatures were $559.8^{\circ}C$ and $544.3^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Air drying is a technology to dry sludge at the ejector and multi cyclone as intaking and blowing air from outside. So, this technology has a weak point that operating fluctuation is large according to an outside conditions as well as energy consumption is also large due to open loop structure. This is to develop the closed-loop air drying system to be built the dehumidifier consisted of condenser, cooler and compressor at rear side of separator of air dryer, as a way to solve some problem. Air is circulation by the method of blowing-drying-dehumidifying-blowing within this system. It is analyzed that an air circulated at closed-loop air drying equipment contains the energy of 50% more compared with open-loop air drying and is operated regularly because of quality maintenance of air to dry sludge. And also it is analyzed that the cost of drying sludge of 1 ton by closed-loop air drying equipment is lower about 35% than conventional equipment. Therefore, this is evaluated by useful drying technology to face an unexpected climatic conditions due to regular operation as well as low energy consumption.
