The objective of this paper is to improve a discomfort caused by the unequal airflow and vertical temperature difference by buoyancy of the supplied hot air in the conventional hot air heating system. In order to the model experiment we manufactured the hot air heater with two air outlet and a model room. We observed the temperature, velocity and airflow distribution and calculated values of PMV and PPD using mean value of central verticality section's air temperature and velocity. We could improve distribution of vertical temperature and velocity at the central section of the model room owing to correlation of hot air of two air outlet.

A ground air heat exchanger (GAHX), also called earth air heat exchanger is a useful technology to be integrated with other renewable energy technologies. In this study, ground-air heat exchanger system for the air source heat pump is introduced. The purpose of this study is to design the volumetric flow rate and the length of GAHX system. A GAHX length model equation has been developed and used for calculation. GAHX thermal efficiency are recommended as 75% and 85% in order to optimize pipe length. $2,750m^3/h$, $2,420m^3/h$ of volumetric flow rate on 88.3m, 111.7m length are suggested for providing 7.5kW thermal capacity. And the number of path is recommended more than two to minimize pressure drop. For future study, advanced model equation study with ground thermal behavior and a more efficient GAHX design will be considered.

Current status and future direction of air quality modeling for monitoring and forecasting air quality in East Asia were discussed in this paper. An integrated air quality modeling system, combining (1) emission processing and modeling, (2) meteorological model simulation, (3) chemistry-transport model (CTM) simulation, (4) ground-based and satellite-retrieved observations, and (5) data assimilation, was introduced. Also, the strategies for future development of the integrated air quality modeling system in East Asia was discussed in this paper. In particular, it was emphasized that the successful use and development of the air quality modeling system should depend on the active applications of the data sets from incumbent and upcoming LEO/GEO (Low Earth Orbit/Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites. This is particularly true, since Korea government successfully launched Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) in June, 2010 and has another plan to launch Geostationary Environmental Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) in 2018, in order to monitor the air quality and emissions in/around the Korean peninsula as well as over East Asia.

A theoretical model was developed to evaluate the influence of control variables on the composting performance in a bin composting system. The model was verified using pilot scale composting system. Simulation of the composting temperature according to air flow rate and composting bin size was conducted using the mathematical model. High composting temperature above 55$^{\circ}C$ needed to kill a pathogen was maintained for longer periods as the air flow rate was lower and the bin size was larger. Optimum air flow rate was 0.77L/min/kg.DM for the experimental pilot scale bin system. The size of composting bin should be large enough to maintain the higher composting temperature for required periods.

In this paper, we suggest the high efficient control method based on general PI control law for a variable speed refrigeration system. In the variable speed refrigeration system, the capacity and the superheat are mainly controlled by an inverter and an electronic expansion valve, respectively, for saving energy and improving coefficient of performance. Thus, we proposed a decoupling model to eliminate the interfering loop between the capacity and superheat at first. Next, we designed PI controller to control the capacity and superheat independently and simultaneously. Finally, the control performance was investigated through some experiments. The experimental results showed that the proposed PI controller based on the decoupling model can obtain good control performance under the various control references and thermal load.

Air mattress is now used widely to prevent the pressure ulcer by reducing the localized pressure peaks. In this paper an air-cell mattress and its pressure control method based on an approximate anthropometric model are presented. The air-cell mattress has eighteen cylindrical air cells made of porous material allowing air leakage to contribute in reducing the development of pressure ulcer by lowering the pressure peak, temperature and humidity. To determine an optimal air-cell pressure appropriate for each user, we divide the parts of the body into four sections such as head, trunk, hip, and leg. Then, the pressure of each section is independently calculated from the weight of each part based on the individual body height and weight and the approximate anthropometric model. Air supply system for the air-cell mattress is implemented by using four electronic solenoid valves and an air compressor, and it is driven by a real-time micro-controller. The experimental results with seven subjects shows that the proposed air-cell mattress is effective for the prevention of the pressure ulcer.

In the design of an electric power plant, the capacity to meet the peak load demand is one of the important factors to be considered. This peak load usually occurs when the most of the cooling air-conditioning systems are being operated during daytime in summer season. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an additional electric power plant and to develop the new air-conditioning system for relieving the peak load. This paper analysed the performance characteristics of this experimental regenerative ice energy system by means of a bundle of the heat-pipes. And the result of this analysis was applied to the simulation of an air-conditioning system model. Also, an operation program of moisture air was made according to air load and in order to computerize the air-conditioning system a CAD program was developed by the properties of moisture air.

A computer simulation for the performance analysis of automobile air conditioning components is carried out for the various operating conditions. The automobile air conditioning system consists of laminated type evaporator, swash plate type compressor, parallel flow type condenser, externally equalized thermostatic expansion valve and receiver drier. The overall heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop in laminated type evaporator were obtained through experiments. In parallel flow type condenser, the performance analysis computer program using the empirical equation for heat transfer coefficient has been developed and the results are compared with experimental results. A model for matching the performance analysis programs of respective components .of automobile air conditioning system is introduced. Further, the effects of varying condenser size and refrigerant charge on the performance of automobile air conditioning system are discussed clearly.

In this paper, we suggested a methodology that can be used by an agent to learn models of other agents in a multi-agent system. To construct these model, we used influence diagram as a modeling tool. We present a method for learning models of the other agents at the decision nodes, value nodes, and chance nodes in influence diagram. We concentrated on learning of the other agents at the value node by using neural network learning technique. Furthermore, we treated anti-air units in anti-air defense domain as agents in multi. agent system.
