지구환경문제와 에너지문제를 해소하는 한 방법으로서 Vuilleumier 사이클 기관(VM)을 이용한 공조기형 열구동형 히트펌프시스템(VMHP)이 각광을 받고 있다. VMHP의 제작에 있어서는 VM의 각 부분의 이론적 검토 및 최적설계를 위한 해석프로그램의 개발이 필수적이고 최적설계를 위한 설계 기본서의 도출 및 설계자료의 확보가 필요하다. VMHP의 상세한 성능해석이나 설계에 활용 가능한 성능해석프로그램을 개발하였다. 해석은 VM의 시스템의 각 부분을 11개 부분으로 나누어 단열모델해석으로 수행하였다. 열교환기에서의 열전달 성능과 재생기손실, 열전도손실, 셔틀손실, 유동에 의한 압력손실과 열압축측과 열펌프측 사이의 마찰손실, 피스턴실 및 로드실의 마찰손실을 고려한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석에 의한 계산치의 정확성을 본 해석결과를 이용하여 제작한 시험기에 의해 비교하였다. 계산치와 시험기에 의한 전체성능을 비교하였고 또한 각각의 손실에서 고유한 파라미터를 추출하여 그 파라미터의 변화에 따른 열손실 전체의 변화 정도를 파악하여 실험치와 계산치의 정상적인 비교로부터 성능해석의 정도를 비교하였다. 비교결과에 의해 난방능력은 8%, 냉방능력은 19%의 최대오차로서 본 해석결과가 VMHP의 설계를 위해 유용한 수단으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The construction method to prevent the frost heave or thaw settlement is called the ground stabilization method, and the thermo-syphon is one of the typical ground stabilization methods. The thermo-syphon has recently been developed with a simple analysis model and thermal analysis has been carried out, but the frost heave of frost susceptible soil was not considered. This study was conducted using ABAQUS internal user subroutine to develop the numerical analysis model (Coupled thermo-mechanical) that can simultaneously perform thermal analysis for the temperature change of the soil according to the thermo-syphon and structural analysis to predict the frost heave of the soil accordingly. As a result of the numerical analysis, the frost heave of the soil decreased as the performance of the thermo-syphon increased. As for the main results, when the thermo-syphon which has contain 25%, 50%, and 100% of refrigerant filling ratio was applied, the reduction ratio of the frost heave was 5.5%, 14.4%, and 21% respectively.

The thermal performance for test system with evacuated tubular solar collector is experimentally investigated to obtain the basis data for developing new type solar collector. For this purpose, the test system was designed using CATIA and then after being manufactured, the system was tested using evacuated tubular solar collector. Numerical analysis, furthermore, was performed using ANSYS Fluent V.13 for glass evacuated tubular solar collector. The results showed that as setting temperature difference(${\Delta}T$) of system was increased, total operating(working) time was almost same in all cases, even though operating count was decreased. The results of numerical analysis showed that as temperature of solar absorber in glass evacuated tubular solar collector was high, the drop-rate of temperature of center part was increased.

인공위성은 우주공간의 고진공 상태와 태양 복사열에 의한 고온 및 극저온이 반복되는 가혹한 환경으로 인해 주요 부품의 기능장애가 초래되므로 발사전 지상에서 열진공 시험장비를 이용한 열진공시험을 수행한다. 위성체의 열진공 시험에 사용되는 열교환기인 베이스플레이트(Baseplate)는 우주 열환경을 모사하기 위하여 직접 방열판 표면에 고온 및 저온의 유체를 공급하여 시험 요구에 따른 필요한 열을 공급하게 된다. 일반적으로 우수한 성능의 위성체 부품의 검증을 위해서 지상의 열환경 시험은 접촉식 히터 및 열교환기를 사용하게 되는데, 이때 적절한 히터 및 블로워 파워를 선정하고 챔버 슈라우드와 열교환에 있어 간섭이 없도록 장비를 운용해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 상용프로그램을 이용하여 열진공 시험용 베이스플레이트에 대하여 전산해석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 베이스플레이트 내의 작동 유체의 입구 압력에 의한 열진공 시험용 열교환기의 성능 특성을 관찰하였다.

The objective of this study was to investigate performance characteristics of thermal management system(TMS) in a fuel cell electric vehicle with 100kW Fuel Cell(FC) system. In order to build up analytic modelling for TMS, each component was installed and tested under various operating conditions, such as water pump, radiator, 3-Way valve, COD heater, and FC stack etc. and as the results of them, correlations reflecting component's characteristics with flow rate, air velocity were developed. Developed analytic modelling was carried out under various operating conditions on the road. To verify modelling's accuracy, after prediction for optimum coolant flow rate was fulfilled under certain operating conditions, such as FC system, water pump speed, opening of 3-way valve, and pipe resistance, analytic and experimental values were compared and good agreement was shown. In order to predict cold-start operating performance for analytic modelling, coolant temperature variation was analyzed with $-20^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature and duration was predicted to rise in optimum temperature for FC. Because there is appropriate temperature difference between inlet and outlet of FC stack to operate FC system properly, related analysis was performed with respect to power consumption for TMS and heat rejection rate and performance map was depicted along with FC operating conditions.

Thermal vacuum test should be performed prior to launch to verify satellites' functionality in a harsh space environment which is represented by extremely cold temperatures and vacuum conditions. A thermal vacuum chamber which consists of a vacuum vessel, a pumping system, and a thermal control system are used to perform thermal vacuum tests of a satellite system and its components. A cryogenic blower is a core component of the closed loop thermal control system for thermal vacuum chambers. This paper describes the fan design of the cryogenic blower, the design of the thermal protection interface between the driving part and the fluid part, which were verified by thermal and structural analyses. The performance of the cryogenic blower is confirmed by similarity test on the test bench.

The numerical analysis on the wave screening performance of the submerged breakwater with various crown widths is presented. The fluid motion is considered as linearized two dimensional potential flow and the finite element method is used to analyze the wave screening performance of the submerged breakwater. It is found that single-submerged breakwater with large crown width shows the most effective wave screening performance and single-submerged breakwater with small crown width also shows fairly good wave screening performance but its effectiveness is less than that of single-submerged breakwater with large crown width. However, double- or triple-submerged breakwater with small crown width shows more effective wave screening performance than that of single- or double-submerged breakwater with large crown width. It is expected that the submerged breakwater with small crown width is economical because it reduces the size of structure.

PVT(Photovoltaic Thermal) 모듈은 태양광과 태양열 에너지를 동시 이용이 가능한 모듈로서 태양광전지(PV, Photovoltaic)모듈에 열교환기를 접합한 형태로 전기에너지뿐만 아니라 열에너지를 동시에 생산할 수 있는 시스템이다. 기존 PV 모듈은 일사량이 많으면 전력 생산량이 증가하는 동시에 PV모듈의 온도가 상승함에 따라 발전 효율이 감소하는 문제점이 있으며 일반적으로 $25^{\circ}C$이상 조건에서 모듈 온도가 $10^{\circ}C$ 증가할수록 발전효율의 약 4~5% 정도 감소하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. PVT 모듈은 기존 태양광모듈에 열교환기를 접합하여 냉각함으로써 PV모듈의 온도를 낮추어 발전효율을 증가시키는 동시에 부가적으로 발생하는 온수를 직접이용하거나 다양한 계통의 보조 열원으로 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석기법(CFD)을 활용하여 PV모듈 냉각 및 온수 발생을 위한 열교환기를 설계하였으며 다양한 형상의 열교환기에 대해 유동해석을 수행하여 최적의 열흡수효율을 갖는 열교환기의 형상을 설계하였다. 또한 최적 설계된 PVT 모듈을 제작하여 실제 태양과 유사한 광원을 갖는 인공태양조건에서의 실내 실험을 통해 PVT 모듈의 성능을 검증하였으며 또한 실제 노상에 설치하여 ASHRAE 93-77의 실험기준과 ECN의 PVT 집열기 성능측정 가이드라인에 따라 옥외 시험평가를 하여 PVT 모듈의 성능 검증을 하였다. 최적 설계된 PVT모듈에 대한 성능평가 결과 기존 PV 모듈보다 발전효율이 약 15%(기존 발전효율 대비) 향상된 결과를 확인하였다.

This study examined the numerical analysis results with respect to the thermal behavior of a natural convection cooled pin-fin heat sink. The heat sink consisted of pin fins integrated with plate fins. The heat sinks were designed with two different types to fit the limited internal space. The two types of heat sinks designed were analyzed using the ANSYS software package, and the numerical analysis results were compared with the cooling performance of the two types of heat sinks. The results of the simulation were analyzed according to the temperature distribution and air flow characteristics, heat flux etc. This study examined the correlation of the cooling performance with the heat sink internal structure and fin shape. FEM (Finite Element Method) confirmed the cooling performance of heat sink type A under natural convection conditions as the best results. The results of the numerical simulation showed that the heat sink type A shape showed an approximately 70 percent better heat transfer rate with natural convection than that of type B.
