The objectives of this paper are to obtain an empirical equations regarding the correlations between heat transfer and pressure drop of oval fin-tube heat exchanger having large diameter using wilson plot method. It was difficult to find any recommendable heat transfer and friction factor correlation available for our large diameter experimental cases. Overall heat transfer coefficients are composed of the heat transfer coefficients both inside and outside tubes. The resulting empirical correlations for the Nui and f-factor are given as $Nu_i=0.0146Re^{0.809}Pr^{0.3}$ and $f=4.366Re^{-0.64}$, respectively. The empirical correlations of the Nui and f-factors were developed for the large diameter oval finned-tube heat exchanger as a function of the Reynolds number. As the EG(Ethylene glycol) and air flow rate increases, the heat transfer rate and pressure drop is increased largely.

Hydrogen is eco-friendly alternative energy source and the photoelectrochemical water splitting is believed to be one of the promising methods for hydrogen production. Many researchers have studied several potential photocatalysts to increase the photoelectochemical performance efficiency for hydrogen conversion. In this study, the GO (graphene oxide) was prepared by Tour's method and was dispersed in precursor solutions of $WO_3$ and $BiVO_4$. Those precursor solutions were spin-coated on FTO glass and several photocatalyst thin films of $WO_3$, $BiVO_4$ and $WO_3/BiVO_4$ were prepared by calcination. The morphologies of prepared photocatalyst thin films were measured by scanning electron microscope. The photoelectrochemical performances of photocatalyst thin films with rGO (reduced graphene oxide) and without rGO were analyzed systematically.

Liquid desiccant dehumidification system can be used effectively to save energy consumed in air conditioning as an alternative compared with conventional air conditioning systems by reducing latent heat load. The dehumidifier and the regenerator from the heart of this system. The latent part of the cooling load is handled using liquid desiccant. In this study, the experimental regenerator has been designed to study the regeneration characteristics of the aqueous triethylene glycol(TEG) system. The performance factors of the regenerator with finned tube heat exchanger were evaluated by a series of experimental runs. The regeneration process is highly dependent on the liquid desiccant conditions, such as, temperature, concentration and flow rate. In addition, the effects of the inlet air temperature, humidity and flow rate were discussed. Data obtained are useful for design guidance and performance analysis of a regenerator, particularly for a liquid desiccant cooling system.

그래핀을 수직으로 성장한 형태인 탄소나노월(Carbon nanowall; CNW)은 탄소를 바탕으로 하는 다른 나노물질에 비해 표면적이 상당히 넓은 물질로 전극에 활용하여 소자 성능향상을 기대 할 수 있다. 또한 탄소를 기반으로 하는 나노 구조물중에서 가장 높은 표면밀도를 가진다. CNW를 차세대 염료감응형 태양전지(Dye sensitised solar cells; DSSC)의 상대전극으로 사용한다면 기존대비 광변환 효율을 향상시킬 수 있어 새로운 상대전극으로 활용 가능하다. 또한 CNW는 다른 촉매 없이 직접성장이 가능함으로 불순물 제거공정이 필요하지 않고, 공정시간이 짧아 대량생산에 용의하다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로웨이브 PECVD 장비를 사용하고 메탄(CH4)을 반응가스로 사용하여 CNW 하부전극을 제조하였다. CNW 하부전극의 광 변환효율을 관찰하기위해서 합성시간을 변화를 주었다. 제조된 DSSC의 광 변환 효율을 측정하기 위해 Solar simulator 장비를 사용하여 제작된 cells의 효율을 측정하였다.

In this study, numerical simulations for the conjugate heat transfer of air with a heat-sink of CPU were conducted. The heat-sink consisted of many fins of cylinder shape and the effect of the number of fins on the cooling performance of the heat sink was investigated. Grid independent solutions were obtained to compare the maximum temperature of the heat-sink for various conditions. It was found that maximum temperature of the heat-sink asymptotically approached 310K as the number of fins went to infinity. The energy exchange of air with the heat-sink was found to be nearly independent on the number of fins.

This paper presents a method to improve Li-ion battery charging speed for portable electronic devices maintaining stable operating temperature. The proposed method uses multiple chargers which consist of a master module and slave modules designed with single wire communication signal for parallel current path in order to simplify the additional hardware needs. A single wire communication signal control between a master module and slave modules makes the number of pins of parts lowered and the required area small, furthermore leading to lower cost. Therefore the proposed charging method can be practically used for implementing battery charging modules requiring high speed Li-ion battery charging.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measurement of a 4-port femtocell MIMO antenna for LTE 700MHz(Band12, 13, 14, 17, 28, 44) applications. Based on microstrip patch antenna, an impedance matching is achieved by short pin. In order to obtain sufficient bandwidth and isolation between antenna elements in a limited dimension, a cross decoupler is used. With a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)${\leq}2$, the measured result of the fabricated antenna provides 105MHz(0.698~0.803MHZ) bandwidth and shows the gain with 1.97dBi and isolation above 13dB. As one of the key parameters for MIMO performance evaluation, correlation coefficient of MIMO is achieved within 0.2.

Compared with the traditional RC system, precast stairs can save construction time, reduce the cost of concrete casting, etc. This paper focuses on an investigation of improved continuous longitudinal joint details for PC stair systems. The performance of the precast concrete stair connections subjected to displacement control cyclic loading is compared with that of the monolithic connection. The developed connection is composed of U-rods and clamp joint metals. This paper proposes precast stair connection with improved structural performance and experimentally evaluates the structural performance of the proposed joints in terms of maximum load, displacement ductiliy, strain, crack and failure modes.
