Recently developed raised floor heating system is not only capable of basic function to reduce noise between floors, but also is a multi-functional floor heating system enabling natural ventilation. The procedure of this system for natural ventilation is to import outdoor air through bottom space of the floor heating system, circulate indoor space and discharge it out of ceiling. In winter, powerless natural ventilation is possible with buoyancy effect caused by temperature difference between outdoor and indoor. And it also allows saving of energy by importing pre-heated air in bottom space of the floor heating system. To evaluate ventilation performance of this system, on-site measurement was conducted in 2 test laboratories, and the nominal air change rate was satisfied as 0.4$\sim$0.8 h-1 under the condition of outdoor temperature $5^{\circ}C{\sim}-5^{\circ}C$, which was evaluated as highly possible to be applied as a natural ventilation system in multi-family houses.

The aim of this study is to investigate the daily heating performance of ground source multi-heat pump system with vertical single U-tube type GLHXs, which were installed in a school building located in Cheonan. Daily average COP of heat pump unit on Jan. 12th, 2009 at heating mode was lower than it on Nov. 10th, 2008 and Dec. 15th, 2008, because of lower EWT of the outdoor heat exchanger and relatively smaller size of condenser and evaporator. But, the system COP on the former was higher than it on the latter because ground loop circulating pump was operated in rated speed. It is suggested that the new algorithms to control the flow rate of secondary fluid for GLHX according to load change have to be developed in order to enhance the performance of the system COP.

In order to assess the reliability of a building energy simulation program (TRNSYS) from the standpoint of user, a set of verification experiment and calculation of cooling load for a test space is carried out. This work is a complement of the previous study that dealt with heating load for the same space. The test space is kept airtight to eliminate the source of uncertainties in modeling. A window-mounted, on/off controlled air-conditioner is used for cooling, whose performance has been established a priori. The calculation encompasses two models for evaluating cooling load in TRNSYS: energy rate control and temperature level control. Comparison of the total cooling loads obtained from different sets of experimental data enables to validate the measurements. The experimental result shows that the latent load is fairly large even in the absence of apparent air change in the space, which needs to be clarified. Each of hourly and daily accumulated sensible loads is compared between the experiment and two calculation models. Despite an inconsistency associated with solar irradiation, both of the models agree favorably with the experiment within a tolerance, illustrating their capability of properly predicting space thermal loads.

Exhaust gas from the combustion of automobiles adversely affects the human body and even pollutes the atmosphere. This study investigated the influence of exhaust gas change on intake manifold using the nozzle. First, the flow analysis was performed using the 3D flow analysis program. When the nozzle inlet air velocity increased, the average air velocity in the nozzle diameters of ${\Phi}2.5$ and ${\Phi}5$ increased 37.3% and 31.9% respectively at the intake manifold outlet. As the nozzle inlet air velocity increased, the maximum flow rate of air increased to 42.2% and 32.6%, respectively at nozzle diameters of ${\Phi}2.5$ and ${\Phi}5$. In order to verify the analysis results, experiments on the exhaust gas were performed in the engine simulation system. As the nozzle inlet velocity increased, HC values decreased by 42.4% and 31.4% at nozzle diameters of ${\Phi}2.5$ and ${\Phi}5$, respectively. And CO values decreased by 40.7% and 31.1% at nozzle diameters of ${\Phi}2.5$ and ${\Phi}5$.

In this study, a fluidized bed particle generator was developed to generate an aerosol without supply of compressed air and to increase portability. It was assumed that the mixing ratio of the test particles and beads, the input amount, and the air flow rate supplied to the generator would have effect on the aerosol generation characteristics. The product of these three parameters was set as a characteristic parameter and particle generation characteristics according to the change of the characteristic parameter were observed. As a result, it was confirmed that the input amount of test particles and beads was not suitable as a characteristic parameter and a characteristic parameter expressed as a product of the mass mixing ratio and the air flowrate was newly defined. When the new characteristic parameter is applied, it can be confirmed that the total amount of particles generated from the particle generator is a function of the characteristic parameter. As a result of measuring the amount of particle generation by adjusting the characteristic parameter, it was confirmed that the performance required for the test particle generator for the field inspection equipment of PM-2.5 sensors could be satisfied.

Basic design of a 50USRT(175㎾) triple effect absorption chiller driven by hot gas has been carried out for both parallel and series flow cycles. Parallel flow cycle showed higher COP, however, the temperature in the generator was also higher than that in series flow cycle. Dynamic operation behavior of a parallel flow system at off-design conditions, such as the change in heat transfer medium temperature or the construction change of the system components, has been investigated in detail. It was found that the cooling capacity was seriously decreased by reducing hot gas flow rate and UA-value in the high temperature generator. However, the system COP was improved, because thermal load in the system components was reduced. The COP and the cooling capacity was found to be improved as cooling water temperature decreased or chilled water temperature increased. The optimum ratio of solution distribution could be suggested by considering the COP, the cooling capacity and the highest temperature in the system, which is critical for corrosion.

This paper presents a numerical study on the constrained melting of a phase change material inside various capsule containers, using water and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) as a PCM and a capsule material, respectively. The computations are based on an iterative, finite-volume numerical procedure that incorporates a single-domain enthalpy formulation for simulation of the phase change phenomenon. Using the enthalpy method, various capsule configurations, such as a capsule from E company, an isochoric cylinder capsule, an equivalent diameter sphere capsule, and an isochoric sphere capsule, are used to investigate the effect of capsule configurations on the charging and discharging performance. A transient three-dimensional model is used for each case. The simulation results show that the capsule from E company results in a higher melting and solidification rate of the PCM, than the other capsule configurations considered in this research.

Recently, a problem related to the thermal management in portable electronic and telecommunication devices is becoming issued. That is due to the trend of a slimness of the devices, so it is not easy to find the optimal thermal management solution for the devices. From now on, a pressed circular type cooling device has been mainly used, however the cooling device with thin thickness is becoming needed by the inner space constraint of the applications. In the present study, the silicon flat plate type cooling device with the separated vapor and liquid flow path was designed and fabricated. The normal isothermal characteristics created by vapor-liquid phase change was confirmed through the experimental study. The cooling device with 70 mm of total length showed 6.8 W of the heat transfer rate within the range of $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C/W$ of thermal resistance. In the future, it will be possible to develop the commercialized cooling device by revising the fabrication process and enhancing the thermal performance of the silicon and glass cooling device.

Fatigue crack growth rate tests were conducted as a function of temperature, dissolved hydrogen (DH) level, and frequency in a simulated PWR environment. Fatigue crack growth rates increased slightly with increasing temperature in air. However, the fatigue crack growth rate did not change with increasing temperature in PWR water conditions. The DH levels did not affect the measured crack growth rate under the given test conditions. At $316^{\circ}C$, oxides were observed on the fatigue crack surface, where the size of the oxide particles was about $0.2{\mu}m$ at 5 ppb. Fatigue crack growth rate increased slightly with decreasing frequency within the frequency range of 0.1 Hz and 10 Hz in PWR water conditions; however, crack growth rate increased considerably at 0.01 Hz. The decrease of the fatigue crack growth rate in PWR water condition is attributed to crack closure resulting from the formation of oxides near the crack tips at a rather fast loading frequency of 10 Hz.

The objective of this research was to establish a domestically available cooling storage technique by cold-air in winter, using winter cool air ventilation fur determining rough rice cooling method in the storage and dry bin. The rough rice storage characteristics of two test conditions, winter cool-air ventilation storage and ambient temperature storage, were evaluated from January to July 2001, using a storage and dry bin of 300-ton capacity. Results of this research are as follows: Grain temperature was from $-5.1\~-8.5^{\circ}C$ after winter cool-air ventilation, and grain initial temperature for ambient temperature bin storage was $0.3\~1.9^{\circ}C$. Moisture content of rough rice decreased from $0.28\;to\;0.93\%$ and from $1.53\;to\;1.92\%$ to compare with original moisture contents for winter cool-air ventilation, and for ambient temperature bin storage, respectively. Broken ratio of brown rice from winter cool-air ventilation bin increased from $0.16\;to\; 0.92\%$, and brown rice broken ratio was from $2.24\;to\;2.86\%$ for ambient temperature bin storage to compare with initial broken ratio. Hardness of stored rice increased along storage period increase in alt storage methods, and cooling bin storage increased rice hardness of 0.271kgf: this increasing was lower then the other methods from 0.059 to 2.239kgf. Germination rates were decreased approximately 9.03, 3.14 and $3.20\%$ for upper, middle, and bottom of ventilating winter air bin, respectively, and germination rates of 2.70, 3.47 and $4.14\%$ were approximately decreased for upper, middle, and bottom parts of ambient temperature bin storage, respectively.
