Reinforced concrete columns exposed to fire experience severe deterioration in material properties and subsequent structural capacities. Degree of losses in structural capacity of a column due to fire-damage mainly depends on the amount of heat transferred into the column during the fire. A reasonable heat transfer model of fire-damaged reinforced concrete column needs to take into account the heat-dependent nonlinear properties of heat conductivity and heat capacity of concrete as well as the evaporation of moistures in a section during the fire. Compared to the previously suggested models, the developed model in this study has included all these parameters in its numerical expressions based on explicit finite difference method. The developed model could predict the temperature changes with a reasonable accuracy for the columns exposed to fire.

The goal of this paper is to measure and compare the performance of solar heat pump for refrigerants. To accomplish the goal, solar heat pump with aluminum roll bond type evaporator and indoor heat exchanged(condenser) was built. The test results showed that the COP and heating capacity of HFC-32/125/134a(23/25/52 wt%, $CH_2F_2/CF_3CHF_2/CF_3CH_2F$) were higher than those of HCFC-22$(CHClF_2)$. A study proved that best conditions to use heating system that is about $40m^2$ and $80m^2$. The COP range of the whole system was from 4 to 6 according to the solar collector's area variation. Hydrochlo-rofluorocarbon HCFC-22$(CHClF_2)$ is included in the compound to be controlled. HFC-32/125/134a(23/25/52 wt%, $CH_2F_2/CF_3CHF_2/CF_3CH_2F$) is the most suitable replacement HCFC-22$(CHClF_2)$ in solar heat pump application. The solar heat pump system was designed to show the best efficiency that the room temperature make $18\sim20^{\circ}C$ and $23\sim25^{\circ}C$ in Seoul during the fall season.

Polymer-metal complexed membranes were prepared by solvent evaporation method using ethylcellulose, platinum(II)acetylacetonate, and rhodium(III)acetylacetonate. The various composition of metal salt(0.3-4.0 wt%) were employed to obtain the optimum performance of final membrane. EC-metal complexed membranes were characterized by FTIR and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) to observe the morphology and the performance of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane gases was tested. It was shown that the metal salts enhanced the permeability of all gases without decrease of selectivity. However, it was found that Pt had more effects on the permeability of oxygen and nitrogen gases while Rh had more effects on the permeability of carbon dioxide and methane gases. EC-Pt complexed membrane(Pt 1.0 wt%) even showed the enhanced selectivity of oxygen/nitrogen(37%) due to the affinity characteristic of Pt to oxygen.

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 일반적으로 Na을 함유하고 있는 소다회유리를 기판으로 사용하여 제작되며, 높은 광전 변환 효율로 인해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 제조 비용 절감과 양산성 향상을 위해 현재 유연 기판 CIGS 박막 태양전지에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 폴리이미드 기판에서 20.4%의 최고 효율이 보고되었다. 유연 기판은 유리 기판 대비 무게가 가볍기 때문에 유리 기판 태양전지보다 활용도가 높으며, 우주용으로 사용할 경우 단위 무게 당 발생되는 전력이 높은 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리이미드 기판을 이용하여 유연 CIGS 박막 태양전지를 제작하였다. 후면 전극 Mo은 DC sputtering으로 증착하였으며, Mo의 증착 압력에 따라 폴리이미드 기판의 잔류 응력과 전기적 특성을 분석하여 증착 압력을 결정하였다. 광흡수층인 CIGS는 다단계 동시 증발 법으로 증착하였으며, 2nd stage 공정온도는 유리 기판 대비 저온인 $475^{\circ}C$로 공정을 진행하였다. 저온공정인 $475^{\circ}C$ 공정에서는 Ga의 함량이 높아질수록 성능이 감소하였으며, Na 공급을 통해 Voc와 FF가 향상되어 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 버퍼층 CdS는 습식 공정인 CBD법으로 증착하였으며, 공정변수인 thiourea의 농도와 CdS 박막의 두께 변화를 통해 폴리이미드 기판 CIGS 박막 태양전지에서 CdS 버퍼층의 최적의 조건을 도출하였다. 최종적으로 제작된 폴리이미드 기판 유연 CIGS 박막 태양전지는 반사 방지막 없이 개방전압 0.511V, 단락전류밀도 32.31mA/cm2, 충실도 64.50%, 변환효율 10.65%를 나타내었다.

Ant Colony System is new meta heuristic for hard combinatorial optimization problem. The original ant colony system accomplishes a pheromone updating about only the global optimal path using global updating rule. But, If the global optimal path is not searched until the end condition is satisfied, only pheromone evaporation happens to no matter how a lot of iteration accomplishment. In this paper, the length of the global optimal path does not improved within the limited iterations, we evaluates this state that fall into the local optimum and selects the next node using changed parameters in the state transition rule. This method has effectiveness of the search for a path through diversifications is enhanced by decreasing the value of parameter of the state transition rules for the select of next node, and escape from the local optima is possible. Finally, the performance of Best and Average_Best of proposed algorithm outperforms original ACS.

Bimuth telluride base thermoelectrics are prepared by AC current applied hot pressing method. It is possible to minimize the defects arising from the vaporization of Te, thanks to the very short processing time compared to the single crystal growing method. The optimum conditions for the AC applied hot pressing of 95 mol% $Bi_2Te_3-5 mol% Bi_2Se_3$ thermoelectrics are sintering at $400^{\circ}C$, for 2 minutes, under 1500 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, with the particle size of $125 to 250 {\mu}m$, range of powder. The resultant Z value (figure of merit) was $2.2{\times}10^{-3}/K$.

A numerical study of the performance assesment of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in improved Korean reference disposal system (KRS⁺) for high-level radioactive waste is conducted using TOUGH2-MP/FLAC3D simulator. Decay heat from high-level radioactive waste increases the temperature of the repository, and it decreases as decay heat is reduced. The maximum temperature of the repository is below a maximum temperature criterion of 100℃. Saturation of bentonite buffer adjacent to the canister is initially reduced due to pore water evaporation induced by temperature increase. Bentonite buffer is saturated 250 years after the disposal of high-level radioactive waste by inflow of groundwater from the surrounding rock mass. Initial saturation of rock mass decreases as groundwater in rock mass is moved to bentnonite buffer by suction, but rock mass is saturated after inflow of groundwater from the far-field area. Stress changes at rock mass are compared to the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and the spalling strength in order to investigate the potential rock failure by thermal stress and swelling pressure. Additional simulations are conducted with the reduced spacing of deposition holes. The maximum temperature of bentonite buffer exceeds 100℃ as deposition hole spacing is smaller than 5.5 m. However, temperature of about 56.1% volume of bentonite buffer is below 90℃. The methodology of numerical modeling used in this study can be applied to the performance assessment of coupled THM processes for high-level radioactive waste repositories with various input parameters and geological conditions such as site-specific stress models and geothermal gradients.

Wastewater heat recovery heat pump systems use heated wastewater from public baths or factories as the heat pump's heat source. Generally, this system uses a bare tube evaporator. In the heat transfer process from wastewater to refrigerant, thermal resistance is caused primarily by fouling deposits on the outside surface of tube. Fouling directly increases thermal resistance and decreases heat pump efficiency. Thus, it is desirable to eliminate fouling. In this study, we fabricated a fouling mitigation device using a bubbling fluidized bed with cleaning sponge balls in the wastewater bath. Experimental conditions were as follows: $20^{\circ}C$ cold-water temperature, $40^{\circ}C$ wastewater temperature, 100 L/h cold water flow rate, and $0.161m^2$ heat exchanger surface area. Experimental results showed that the thermal resistance of fouling decreased by 56% with the fluidized bed alone and by 86% with both the fluidized bed and cleaning sponge balls.

Improvements in the standard of living and lifestyle have led to increased sales of frozen milk products, such as soft ice cream or slush. These frozen milk products are commonly made in a small refrigeration machine. In a soft ice cream machine, the freezer is composed of a concentric cylinder, where the refrigerant flows in the annul us and the ice cream is made in the cylinder by a rotating scraper. In this study, an optimization and performance evaluation were conducted on a soft ice cream machine having a freezer volume of 2.8 liters. The optimization was focused on the scraper rotation speed and the refrigerant path of the freezer. The measurements included the temperature, pressure and consumed power. At the optimized speed of 124 rpm, ice cream was produced in 6 minutes and 2 seconds, and the COP was 0.90. Through a flow visualization study using air-water, the refrigerant path was improved. The improved design reduced the ice cream making time significantly. The present results may be used for the optimization of other refrigeration cycles, including those of frozen food products.
