Transient hygrothermal stresses in an infinitely long hollow cylinder subjected to heating in hygroscopic environments at the surfaces are studied. The equations of hygrothermoelasticity based on the plane strain assumption are formulated by considering the coupling effects between heat and moisture. A closed form solution for the transient hygrothermal stresses is obtained by using decoupling techniques and the method of separation of variables. Numerical results including distributions of temperature and moisture concentration are presented. Effects of transient hygrothermal characteristics are clearly shown in both displacements and stress distributions in the wall of hollow cylinder.

Strucutral and hygrothermal analysis for a composite tube is carried out in this study, that provides critical parameters for the design of a highly dimensionally stable space telescope. Carpet plots for laminate effective engineering constants are generated and used for the best tube lay-ups with high elastic modulus and highly insensitive to thermal and moisture expansion, which is essential for maintaining optical alignment of opto-mechanical system under random force applied during a launch campaign and orbital thermal load. Despace in the longitudinal direction under hygrothermal load of the tubes constructed with the selected lay-ups is calculated for the validation of lay-up designs on the dimensionalstability. Dynamic analysis is also carried out to feature the resonant behaviour. A zig-zag triangular element accurately representing through thickness stress variations for laminated structures is developed in this study and incorporated into the structural and hygrothermal analysis.

국내 여름철의 고온다습한 기후환경으로 인하여 온실 내부의 냉방 및 제습이 필수적인데, 온실 냉방 방식 중 증발냉각 시스템이 가장 효율이 높다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 증발냉각 시스템은 건조한 기후 지역에서 발달한 방식으로, 작물의 증산작용으로 인한 온실 내부 습도 상승에 따른 문제점이 발생되어 다습한 여름철 국내 기후에는 반드시 냉각과 제습이 동시에 필요하다. 따라서 증발냉각 방식 중 Fan and Pad 방식과 리튬브로마이드 수용액을 이용한 온실 냉방 및 제습을 위한 복합시스템에 관한 연구가 진행중이다. 현재 리튬브로마이드 수용액 제습 시 발생되는 발열량과 수용액의 무게변화와 같은 수용액의 흡습성질 대한 정확한 지표가 나타나 있지 않다. 이에 연구를 진행하기에 앞서 리튬브로마이드 흡습성질에 관한 데이터 자료가 필요하다고 판단되어 기초실험을 진행하였고, 본 연구에서는 Pilot Scale의 재생 순환시스템을 통해 리튬브로마이드 수용액의 흡습성질을 이용한 재사용 방안을 제시하였고, 시스템 내에서 외부투입공기와 작동유체의 흡습성질에 의한 반응 전후 온도변화 예측 모델을 수립하였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 리튬브로마이드 수용액의 흡습성질을 분석하고, 이를 이 용한 재생 순환 시스템에 관한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.

A sorption cool pad brings cooling effect without any pre-cooling, nor any external energy supply. It uses evaporative cooling effect stimulated by the desiccative sorption. In this paper, heat and mass transfer in the sorption cool pad are investigated theoretically. The evaporative cooling process caused by the desiccant is modeled and analyzed considering the sorption characteristics of the desiccant. Two nondimensional parameters are found to dominate the cooling process： one is related to the psychrometric characteristics and the other is to the sorption capacity of the desiccant. The former decides the time to reach the lowest temperature and the later controls the time duration of the cooling effect being sustained.

In this paper, the standard procedures for measuring the moisture sorption properties of thin polymeric materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by using the thermo-gravimetric method to characterize the moisture diffusion in the polymer are presented, and the sorption properties are quantified. The moisture diffusivity and solubility are characterized to investigate the effect of temperature and humidity on the moisture sorption properties according to the Arrhenius equation. The validation of the obtained sorption properties using thermogravimetry is discussed with the measured permeability based on Fickian diffusion. The nonlinear behavior of the concentration dependent moisture diffusion is investigated experimentally, and the nonlinearity is characterized numerically for the case of having an interface with an inorganic material such as a metal. The Fickian/Non-Fickian model based on the obtained moisture sorption properties is compared and discussed.

A bendable electronic module is developed. In this module, thin silicon electronic chips are embedded in a polymer-based encapsulating adhesive between flexible copper-clad polyimide layers. During the qualification test of a harshly thermal-hygroscopic complex loading condition, delaminations occur inside the module layers. A finite element model is developed for the module. To investigate the effect of hygroscopic stress on delamination, the results of the thermal and thermal-hygroscopic loads are compared. The analysis results reveal that the hygroscopic effect more strongly affects delamination than does the thermal effect. The potential failure mechanisms of the module are investigated based on the stress analysis.

The moisture sorption behaviors of dry corn(DC). dry-corn (DCC) and soaked-rooked corn(SCC) at $25^{\circ}C$ were analyzed. The corn was soaked in water at $26^{\circ}C$ for 8hr. The cooking times for DCC and SCC were 30 and 20min. respectively, at $80^{\circ}C$. Desorption occurred for DC and DCC at RH below 23% and SCC at RH below 33% during storage. Moldiness was observed in all samples at RH 97%, after 192hr for DC and 288 hr for both DCC and SCC. At the same water activity. SCC sample had the highest moisture content, followed by DC. The SCC sample had the highest monolaver value and sorption heat. Stability isotherms indicated that DC and SCC had better storability than DCC.

A hygroscopic rotor comprises many microchannels with high adsorption characteristics. In this study, the iterative adsorption/desorption processes that were affected by the humid air flow in a channel were numerically simulated. In consideration of the accuracy and computational costs, in the desiccant layer, only surface diffusion was considered in this simulation. The results were compared with the previous numerical results and found to show good agreement. By conjugating the heat and mass transfer between the desiccant and the flow layers, temporal and spatial changes in the vapor mass fraction, adsorbed liquid water mass fraction, and temperature in the channel were presented.

This paper deals with the residual strength characteristics of composite materials under the environment of high temperature and humidity. Two types of GFRP, one with unidirection and randomly oriented, are used to investigate the features of moisture absorption and the residual strength. The results show that, when exposed longterms in high temperature and humidity, the randomly oriented composites is more stable than the unidirection one.

현재 선진국에서 널리 이용되고있는 곡물의 화력건조는 곡물의 품질을 손상시킬 뿐만 아니라 손실을 증가시키고 있다. 화력에 의한 건조는 또한 연료의 절약면에서 볼 때 역시 문제점을 내포하고있다.l 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 근래에는 실리카 젤과 같은 흡습성의 건조제를 사용한 곡물의 건조 실험이 진행 중에 있으며 좋은 결과를 보여주고 있다. 실리카겔은 그 자체무게의 40% 까지 동적 및 정적하에서 수분을 흡수하는 성질을 가지고 있으며 일단 포화상태가 되면 수천번 재생이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 이와같은 실리카텍의 재생실험을 일차적으로 실내에서 공기의 온도를 일정하게 한 상태에서 실시하였으며 일반적으로 실리카 젤은 $300^{\circ}F$에서 완전재생이 가능하나 본 실험에서 사용된 재생온도는 평면식 태양열 집열기로부터 얻을 수 있는 $150^{\circ}F$ 내외에서 시도하였다. 본실험과 병행하여 건조중 공기와 실리카 젤의 에너지 및 질량변화에 따른 이론식을 만들어 주어진 여러 가지 조건에 대하여 4개의 미분방정식을 컴퓨터에 의하여 해결하였으며 건조(재생) 시간에 따른 공기의 온도와 흡습 및 실리카 젤의 함수량을 구하였다. 위의 이론적인 분석결과는 후에 태양열집열기를 이용한 재생실험을 분석하는데 적용될 것이다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구에서 유도한 이론식은 실리카 젤의 재생온도를 만족스럽게 표시하였으며 재생시간에 따른 공기의 온도와 흡습 및 실리카 젤의 함수량변화의 이론치는 실험치와 근사하였다. 2. 이론치와 실험치를 일치시키기위하여 흡착온도에서 산출된 열 및 질량 전달계수를 1/5로 조정 사용하였다. 3. 실리카 젤은 $120^{\circ}F$에서 9 %, $180^{\circ}F$에서 1% 내외로 재생이 가능하였다. 4. 본 연구에서 유도된 이론적 분석방법은 다른 여러 가지 형태의 물질 및 건조 또는 냉각 과정을 분석하는데 사용될 수 있다.
