In general, the battery module of an electric vehicle (EV) consists of lithium-ion cells. A lithium-ion battery is a secondary rechargeable battery, and it consists of numerous stacked plates that serve as electrodes and separators. Owing to these microstructural features, its numerical analysis is very expensive. Therefore, this study aims to present a simplified thermal analysis model using equivalent thermal properties, and we compare the experimental results with numerical results for 185.3Ah and 20Ah cells. Furthermore, we show the thermal behavior of cells without the finite element method (FEM) or finite volume method (FVM) by adopting the lumped capacitance method (LCM).

A new method to predict the proper promotion time on the near-step-temperature test profile when heating or cooling the test-piece in a test chamber to the test temperature for environmental tests has been proposed by using the lumped analysis. For a given test condition the analysis shows the existence of a promotion time that reduces the testing time and saves energy. The theoretical results are in reasonably good agreements with experimental results for steel specimens. The suggested promotion time is approximately proportional to the mass/surface area of the test-piece for a given material.

고도의 산업화로 인해 지구 온난화(global warming) 현상이 기후변화에 급격한 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 기후변화로 최근 여름철에는 주로 집중호우 및 태풍으로 인하여 용수량이 초과하여 자연재해까지 영향을 미치나 그 외의 계절에는 가뭄에 의한 피해가 심각하여 용수량을 확보하기 위해 댐을 건설하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 댐 위치 및 용량, 댐건설 후 미치는 영향을 3차원 GIS를 이용한 물관리시스템을 개발하여 설계시 미리 모의 실험함으로써 효율적인 댐관리에 도움을 주고자 한다.

The burden of flood control on the dam under frequently flood due to climate change and especially heavy flood in 2020 year are come to the forward and increased. The objective of the study is therefore to establish the method to estimate capacity and target water level for flood control in actual dam management. Frequency matching method was applied to establish a pair of cumulative distribution function (CDF) based on daily dam inflow and discharge records. The relationship between dam storage and discharge volume represented as a percentage of inflow volume was derived and its characteristics was analyzed. As the result, the Soyanggang (45%) and Chungju Dam (39%) contributing to flood control with temporarily storing flood runoff. The method and diagram to estimate flood control capacity and target water level for flood control in the dam were established. The result of the study could be used as a supplementary data for flood control of the dam according to the rainfall prediction on the Korea Meteorological Administration.

1999년 7월 청주권을 비롯한 7개 지방중소도시권은 친환경적 도시기본계획을 수립한 후 개발제한구역을 해제하도록 하고, 수도권을 비롯한 7개 대도시권은 보전가치가 낮은 지역을 위주로 부분적으로 해제하도록 하였다. 그리하여 표고, 경사도, 농업적성도, 식물상, 임업적성도, 수질 등 6개 항목에 대한 환경평가를 통해 개발제한구역에 용도지역이 지정되었다. 청주시의 경우 환경평가와 주민의견 반영 후 도시계획재정비에 따라 용도지역이 지정되었으나, 평지나 산림생산성이 떨어지는 곳은 낮은 환경등급을 받아 개발이 가능한 용도지역이 지정됨으로써 벨트형 녹지 유지가 어려워져, 시가지 팽창, 대전과 연담화, 도시 허파기능 상실 등의 가능성이 커지게 되었다. 따라서 청주권 개발제한구역의 시가화 영향을 토지피복, 지목, 용도지역 등의 변화를 통해 살펴보고, 6개 항목에 대한 환경평가 과정상 문제점을 고찰한 후, 개발제한구역의 해제 영향을 도시성장측면과 환경용량평가를 통해 규명하고, 전략환경평가의 적용방안을 모색하고자 한다. 전략환경평가의 시행을 위해서는 먼저 오염총량관리제, 국토의 계획 및 이용에 관한 법률에 의한 개발밀도관리구역, 수도권정비계획법에 의한 인구집중시설에 대한 개발총량규제 등이 반영되어야 할 것이다. 그리고 이미 시행중인 개발사업 및 개발계획중인 사업에 대한 누적영향평가와 함께 해당 지역에 대한 환경용량평가가 이뤄져야 하고, 아울러 개발제한구역 해제지역에 대한 사전환경성검토업무편람의 내용을 토대로 하여 환경평가항목에 대한 스코우핑, 환경평가 지표 개발이 이뤄져야 할 것이다.

An experimental study has been performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of fin and tube heat exchanger. The existing transient and steady methods are very difficult to apply for the measurements of heat transfer coefficients of a thin heat transfer model. In this study the lumped capacitance method was adopted. The heat transfer coefficients were measured by using the lumped capacitance method based on the liquid crystal thermography. The method is validated through impinging jet and flat plate flow experiments. The two experiments showed that the results of the lumped capacitance method with polycarbonate model showed very good agreements with those of the transient method with acryl model. The lumped capacitance method showed similar results regardless of the thickness of polycarbonate model. The method was also applied for the heat transfer coefficient measurements of a fin and tube heat exchanger. The quantitative heat transfer coefficients of the plate fin were successfully obtained. As the frontal velocity increased, the heat transfer coefficients were increased, but the color-band shape showed similar patterns regardless of frontal velocity.

The performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is seriously changed by the humidification condition which is intrinsic characteristics of the PEMFC. Typically, the humidification of fuel cell is carried out with internal or external humidifier. A membrane humidifier is applied to the external humidification of residential power generation fuel cell due to its convenience and high performance. In this study, a simple static model is constructed to understand the physical phenomena of the membrane humidifier in terms of geometric parameters and operating parameters. The model utilizes the concept of shell and tube heat exchanger but the model is also able to estimate the mass transport through the membrane. Model is constructed with FORTRAN under Matlab/$Simulink^{(R)}$ $\Box$environment to keep consistency with other components model which we already developed. Results shows that the humidity of wet gas and membrane thickness are critical parameters to improve the performance of the humidifier.

Solid oxide fuel cell operate at high temperature ($800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$). High temperature have an advantage of system efficiency, but a weak durability. In this study, linear state space controller is designed to handle the temperature of solid oxide fuel cell system for proper thermal management. System model is developed under simulink environment with Thermolib$^{(R)}$. Since the thermally optimal system integration improves efficiency, very complicated thermal integration approach is selected for system integration. It shows that temperature response of fuel cell stack and catalytic burner are operated at severe non-linearity. To control non-linear temperature response of SOFC system, gain scheduled linear quadratic regulator is designed. Results shows that the temperature response of stack and catalytic burner follows the command over whole ranges of operations.

One of the most serious problems in KEPCO power system is the load centralization in the capital area. The load capacity in the capital area is almost 40% of the total load. However, the generation capacity in this area is just 16% of the total generation. The inequality, between the power demand and supply, in this area needs the power transmission from other regions. The simplest method to solve the problem is the installation of power plants or the addition of high-capacity transmission line in the metropolitan area. However, because of the concentration of human and material resources, there is a difficulty in the installation of the generation and transformer facility. As a result, instead of the installation of large scale facilities, the approach to maximize the application of existing facilities is required. In this research, we will develop a scheme with an HVDC installation for enhancing power transfer capability by utilizing the existing transmission lines.

Membranes are used to separate pure gas from gas mixtures. In this study, three different types of mass transport through a membrane were developed in order to investigate the gas separation capabilities of a membrane. The three different models typically used are a lumped model, a multi-cell model, and a discretization model. Despite the multi-cell model producing similar results to a discretization model, the discretization model was selected for this investigation, due to the cell number dependence of a multi-cell model. The mass transport model was then used to investigate the effects of pressure difference, flow rate, total exposed area, and permeability. The results showed that the pressure difference increased with the stage cut, but the selectivity was a trade-off for the increasing pressure difference. Additionally, even though permeability is an important parameter, the selectivity and stage cut of the membrane converged as permeability increased.
