It is necessary to effective temperature and humidity management for normal growth of crops in protected cultivation during the summer season. Because the highest temperature of vinyl house inhibit normal growth of crop and decrease of crop production or marketability in summer season. Finally, the vinyl house was impossible some crop cultivation in summer season. This study was conducted to investigate effective and economic method for temperature drop in protected cultivation during the summer season. 1. In medium size vinyl house(5$\times$13$\times$3m), the effect of temperature drop appeared the highest in treatment of shading with aluminium thermal curtain＋fog system＋ventilation with fan. The effect of temperature drop was about 1$0^{\circ}C$ lower than outer air temperature and about 4$^{\circ}C$ lower than outer soil temperature. 2. The effect of temperature drop according to shading with aluminium thermal curtain＋fog system＋ventilation with fan during the highest temperature of summer season Jul., 20 to Aug., 21 was appeared about 8$^{\circ}C$ lower than outdoor above ground(1.2m) and about 7$^{\circ}C$ lower than outdoor surface ground. 3. The changes of solar radiation during a day according to shading with aluminium thermal curtain＋ventilation with fan and shading with black curtain＋ventilation with fan treatments was appeared respectively about 29.3%, 32.5% of outdoor solar radiation a fine day and respectively about 27.4%, 31.8% of outdoor solar radiation a cloudy day.

This study is about the implementation of low energy sewage management technology through effective control of blower which consumes the most energy in sewage treatment. In calculating the amount of oxygen required for microorganisms, unlike the existing method using the operating index in the bioreactor or TMS data in the discharge port, the CODcr and NH₄⁺-N concentration changes in sewage flowing into the sewage treatment plant were detected in advance before entering the bioreactor and the amount of air was controlled based on this. The pre-sensing was found to have a high correlation compared with conventional products. As a result of blower control, it was possible to save about 9.9% energy more than the manual control. Consequently, this study suggested the possibility of blower's real-time control combined with pre-sensing technology. Also, it is expected that the low energy sewage treatment can be applied to sewage treatment facilities dependent on operation by manpower, and it will contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

The standards pertaining to the quality of discharged water in sewage treatment plants are strengthening, and accordingly, facilities in sewage treatment plants are being upgraded. In addition, the discharge water quality of sewage treatment plants must be maintained at a high level, and efficient sewage treatment plant operations have thus emerged as a very important issue. For the efficient operation of sewage treatment plants, this study applied a basic blowing amount calculation method based on sewage facilities to evaluate the required oxygen amount and blowing amount according to inflow water quality by logicizing various influencing factors. As a result of calculating the amount of air blown by applying actual April water quality data from sewage treatment plant A to the blower demand calculation developed through this study, it was found that the average amount of air blown was reduced by about 12%. When the blower demand calculation developed here is applied to an actual sewage treatment plant, the amount of air blown can be controlled based on the inflow water quality. This can facilitate the realization of an autonomous control of sewage treatment plants, in contrast to the existing sewage treatment operation method that relies on operational experience of operator. In addition, it is expected that efficient sewage treatment plants can be operated by reducing blowing amounts and power costs, which will contribute to both energy and carbon savings.

This study interpreted the characteristics of the site and provenance of raw material by performing material characteristics analysis of the slags and tuyeres excavated from the Sinpung site in Wanju, Jeollabuk-do. The major chemical compositions suggested that the slags and tuyeres were created when Cu-Sn-Pb was alloyed. Metal microscope and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer analyses revealed that the slags and tuyeres were by-products formed in the alloying process. This alloy, created by adding galena to copper and tin ingots, was an intermediary material used in making the finished products. According to the lead isotope ratio analysis result, slags could be made using galena of the southern Zone III region of Korea. Based on the decomposition of mica group minerals and the formation of mullite detected through X-ray diffraction analysis, it is possible to conclude that the tuyeres operated at approximately 1,000℃ as, the mullite was detected on the outside of the tuyeres.

During this study, number of fan by ambient air temperature that condenser pressure satisfies steam turbine exhaust pressure condition with intervals of $3^{\circ}C$ within the 150 MW thermal power plant site temperature range of $-17.1^{\circ}C$ to $36.7^{\circ}C$ was reviewed. An air cooled condenser changes its operating pressure influenced by cooling air circulation amount by atmospheric temperature and number of fan. For stable power plant operation, these were confirmed to maximize a quantity of air-cooled condenser fans at above or equal from design ambient temperature and to reduce an amount of circulating air to an air cooled condenser by depending on a quantity of fan considering exhaust pressure operation condition of a steam turbine at below design ambient temperature.

This paper describes the performance of a centrifugal fan used for refuse collection systems according to the chord length of the splitters installed near the blade suction and pressure surface sides. The fan performance is analyzed by three-dimensional Navier.Stokes analysis and is compared to the results obtained experimentally. Throughout the numerical simulation of the fan with splitters, it is found that the reverse-flow region observed near the suction side of the blade can be reduced by installing a splitter. The fan performance is successfully improved by controlling the chord length of the splitter installed near the blade suction side. Under the designed flow condition, the efficiency and pressure of a fan with splitters increase by up to 4% and 18%, respectively, compared to the reference fan.

This study presents how low quality coal combustion affects the desulfurizer draft system by correlating of draft loss in a coal-fired thermal power plant and predicts the stall occurrence time of a booster fan. In case of low quality coal, a lot of coal is needed to generate equivalent output power, thereby the rating of increasing draft loss was faster than designed amount of coal. We surely confirmed that draft loss affects the specific energy of a booster fan strongly. On this basis, it is possible to predict the occurring time of stall for a booster fan from current operation specific energy to stall limit specific energy. This study suggests increasing speed of draft loss in each caloric value and the impact of specific energy at a booster fan, it expects to help safe operating in a thermal power plant.

하수처리 공정 중 생물반응조에서는 미생물의 산화 반응을 통해 하수 내 각종 유기물들을 처리하고 있다. 블로워는 호기조를 유리산소상태로 만들어 미생물들의 유기물 제어, 질산화가 원활하게 이루어질 수 있도록 지원하는 역할을 담당하고 있다. 그러나 실제 하수처리장에서는 유기물을 원활하게 처리하기 위하여 과도하게 블로워를 가동하고 있어 경제적인 측면에서 문제를 겪고 있다. 블로워를 통해 수중에 산소를 부족하게 공급할 경우 활성슬러지의 침전성이 저해되어 방류수 수질이 저해되는 반면, 용존산소가 과도하게 공급되어도 유기물질의 처리 효율은 증대되지 않으며 잉여용존산소는 대기 중으로 방류된다. 이러한 이유로 국내 하수처리장에서는 강화된 방류수 수질 기준을 만족하기 하고자 유입수질에 관계없이 과도하게 송풍기를 운영하고 있다. 이러한 하수처리장의 운영 및 경제적인 문제점을 해결하고자, 본 연구에서는 하수처리장으로 유입되는 원수의 수질을 처리하는 데 실제로 미생물이 필요한 산소요구량 및 공기공급량을 산정하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 통해 실제 하수처리장에서 필요한 산소요구량, 공기공급량을 산출하여 효율적인 하수처리장 운영이 가능하다. 실제 하수처리장에서의 프로그램을 통한 송풍량 절감 효율을 분석하고자 한 달간의 A 하수처리장 수질 데이터를 기반으로 하수처리에 필요한 산소요구량 및 공기공급량을 산정하였다. 실험 결과 프로그램 적용시 약 평균적으로 10%의 송풍량을 절감이 가능하며, 연구 결과를 바탕으로 효율적이고 경제적인 송풍기 운영조건의 기준을 제시하고자 한다.

홴(fan)은 모터로부터 회전력을 전달받아 공기동력인 풍량과 정압을 발생시켜 발열부품의 냉각 및 환기용으로 산업현장과 가전기기에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 과거 산업현장에서 주로 사용되어지던 송풍기가 가전기기에 적용되면서 홴에 대한 관심이 더욱 증폭되었는데 특히 국내에서 독자적인 소형 홴 연구가 본격적으로 시작된 것도 이 때이다. 가전에서의 홴은 고효율 뿐 만 아니라 주로 저소음화에 대한 연구에 초점이 맞추어져 있는데 이는 기존의 산업현장의 송풍기가 주로 풍량과 정압에 목표를 두고 개발해 왔던 것도 한 이유지만 구조적인 안정성 때문에 소음을 고려한 설계가 한계가 있었기 때문으로 저소음홴에 대한 응용기술이 충분히 발달하지 못했기 때문에 송풍기 기술을 그대로 받아들인 초창기 가전용홴은 소음이 높았다. 또한 가전기기는 모든 연령층이 사용하기 때문에 소음이 큰 제품은 항상 소비자 클레임의 원인이 되기 때문이다.(중략)

This paper describes performance characteristics of a centrifugal fan having a different volute casing. The centrifugal fan has a backward blade type, and is used in a refuse collecting system. The flow characteristics inside the components are analyzed by three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis, and also compared to the results by experiments. Distributions of pressure and efficiency obtained by numerical simulation has a good agreement with the experimental results. Throughout the numerical simulation of the centrifugal fan, a fan efficiency is increased by decreasing local losses in the blade passage. It is found that the fan efficiency is enhanced by decreasing the distance between the shroud of a impeller and casing. Detailed flow analysis is also analyzed and discussed using the results obtained by numerical simulation.
