The introduction of tracer gas techniques to ventilation studies in indoor environments provides valuable information that used to be unattainable from conventional testing environments. Data acquisition systems (DASs) containing analogue-to-digital (A/D) converters are usually used to function the key role that records signals to storage in digital format. In the testing process, there exist a number of components in the measuring equipment which may produce system-based inference to the monitored results. These unwanted fluctuations may cause significant error in data analysis, especially when non-linear algorithms are involved. In this study, a pre-processor is developed and applied to separate the unwanted fluctuations (noise or interference) in raw measurements and to reduce the uncertainty in the measurement. Moving average, notch filter, FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters, and IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filters are designed and applied to collect the desired information from the raw measurements. Tracer gas concentrations are monitored during leakage and ventilation tests in the model test room. The signal analysis functions are introduced to carry out the digital signal processing (DSP) work. Overall the FIR filters process the $CO_2$ measurement properly for ventilation rate and mean age of air calculations. It is found that, the Kaiser filter was the most applicable digital filter for pre-processing the tracer gas measurements. Although the IIR filters help to reduce the random noise in the data, they cause considerable changes to the filtered data, which is not desirable.

본 연구에서는 압축공기에너지저장 설비를 운영함에 있어 위험성이 크다고 분석된 '내조시스템 파손에 따른 압축공기 유출'과 '접근갱도 내 화재 발생' 리스크를 대상으로 시나리오를 작성하여 분석을 실시하였다. Bernoulli 방정식과 운동량 방정식을 결합하여 압축공기 분출에 따른 충격력을 계산하기 위한 식을 유도하였다. 이 식을 바탕으로 시나리오를 작성하여 충격력을 계산한 결과 충격력은 균열 직경의 제곱 및 압축공기의 압력에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 계절의 변화 및 화원의 위치에 따른 연기 확산 거동을 분석하기 위하여 4가지의 화재 시나리오를 작성하였다. 저장 공동 벽면 근처에서 화재가 발생한 경우는 10 m 떨어진 지점에서 화재가 발생한 경우보다 연기가 호흡한계선까지 하강하는 데 소요되는 시간이 더 짧은 것으로 나타났는데 이는 연기 파선단 전파로 인해 발생한 것으로 예측된다. 갱내로의 공기 유동 방향에 따라 연기의 확산 거동이 달라지기 때문에 겨울에 화재가 발생한 경우는 여름에 발생한 경우보다 연기의 확산속도가 빠르고 더 멀리까지 연기가 퍼지는 것으로 나타났다. 피난 시뮬레이션 해석 결과 여름과 겨울 화재에서의 피난요구시간(RSET)은 각기 262, 670 s로 분석되었다.

Leak detection technology is a challenging research until nowadays, because it has wide and various applications in industry. Furthermore pneumatic component reliability test based on ISO requires air leakage measurement. The conventional measurement methods need a complex operation and the calibration of leak detector. Tracing the history of our study, we proposed a new method for measurement of leak flow rate using isothermal chamber. In this study, propose a simulation model of isothermal chamber by infinitesimal flow -rate, such as a leak flow-rate. The effectiveness of the proposed simulation model is proved by simulation and experimental results. Base on the comparison results, proposed simulation model is good agreement with experimental results.

Background: To find out the leak characteristic of research reactor 'HANARO' building in a typhoon condition Materials and Methods: MELCOR code which normally is used to simulate severe accident behavior in a nuclear power plant was used to simulate the leak rate of air and fission products from reactor hall after the shutdown of the ventilation system of HANARO reactor building. For the simulation, HANARO building was designed by MELCOR code and typhoon condition passed through Daejeon in 2012 was applied. Results and Discussion: It was found that the leak rate is $0.1%{\cdot}day^{-1}$ of air, $0.004%{\cdot}day^{-1}$ of noble gas and $3.7{\times}10^{-5}%{\cdot}day^{-1}$ of aerosol during typhoon passing. The air leak rate of $0.1%{\cdot}day^{-1}$ can be converted into $1.36m^3{\cdot}hr^{-1}$, but the design leak rate in HANARO safety analysis report was considered as $600m^3{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ under the condition of $20m{\cdot}sec^{-1}$ wind speed outside of the building by typhoon. Conclusion: Most of fission products during the maximum hypothesis accident at HANARO reactor will be contained in the reactor hall, so the direct radiation by remained fission products in the reactor hall will be the most important factor in designing emergency preparedness for HANARO reactor.

Purpose: Recently, high-rise buildings are popular in korea due to high rate of land usage and cost performance in urban area. However, high-rise building causes several problems such as safety issues, cooling/heating load, stack effect, disaster prevention etc. The stack effect is one of the representative problems. Even though there are many researches on stack effect, there are few studies on design guideline considering local condition. Method: This study focuses on the change of pressure distribution according to the design factors which affects the airflow in high-rise residential buildings by simulation analysis. In this study, city, building floor, stairwell door leakage area, elevator door leakage area and changes of layout were considered ad the design factor. Result: The simulation results indicate that building height and ambient air temperature are significant design factor for stack effect.

Airtightness standards using fan pressurization method are normally used for measuring small buildings, detached houses, and apartment units. And, it is easy to conduct airtightness measurement through this fan pressurization method. However, it can be difficult to achieve accurate measurement results for the large buildings as the height and volume of the buildings have been increased. In this paper, we studied the principle of airtightness method by fan pressurization. And, we reviewed the measurement process described in ISO 9972, EN 13829, ASTM E779, ATTMA TS 1, CAN/CGSB 149.15, and JIS A 2201. Then, we categorized the methods' items according by air flow rate (Q) and pressure difference(${\Delta}P$). As a result, we made a comparison analysis on the measurement methods appeared in each standards. And, we achieved 5 test conditions about air flow rate and pressure difference to state requirements for large buildings airtightness measurement.

한국의 경우 화재안전기준인 NFSC501와 NFSC 501A에 따라 제연설비 설계를 실시하고 있다. 하지만 기준상에 기재된 누설틈새 면적 산정기준으로 설계 및 시공 이후 제연설비의 성능을 측정한 결과 설계 값과 맞지 않는 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이에 따라 한국, 일본, 영국 각각의 제연설비 기준을 비교하고 이에 대한 계산을 실시하였다. 국내의 경우 NFPA501A와 해설서에서 규정된 내용을 통해 일률적인 설계를 실시하고 있다. 하지만 국외의 경우 연기층 온도, 화재층 급기량, 덕트 손실율을 고려하여 급기량 값이 한국보다 더 크게 도출되었다. 따라서 국내 실정에 맞는 데이터가 구축되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The NOx emission characteristics with oxygen enrichment in nonpremixed counterflow and coflow jet flame of $CH_4$ fuel have been investigated numerically. A small amount of nitrogen is included in oxygen-enriched combustion, in order to consider the inevitable $N_2$ contamination by air infiltration. The results show that the initial increase of NO with increasing oxygen enrichment is due to increasing temperature and residence time, while its subsequent decrease above 75% oxygen is due to decreasing the consumption rate of nitrogen. When oxygen addition exceeds 30%, Thermal NO gradually becomes the dominant production pathway and Prompt NO becomes negative pathway for net NO production rate. It is also seen that Thermal NO plays an important role in NO reduction when strain rate increase in oxygen-enriched combustion. Finally, the results of EINOx with oxygen enrichment in coflow jet flame show the similar profile with those of conterflow flame. It is confirmed that, with leakage of 1% nitrogen in the oxidizer stream, the corresponding EINOx is eight times of that emitted from regular $CH_4$/Air flame.

In the present work, a series of experiments have been performed on electro-hydrodynamic atomization of non-conducting liquid using a charge injection type nozzle. Effects of liquid flow rate, input voltage, and distance between the needle and the ground electrode (nozzle-embedded metal plate) have been examined. For fixed electrode distances, total and spray currents increase with increase of liquid flow rate and input voltage. When the distance between the needle and the ground electrode becomes closer, total, leakage and spray current increase, but the onset voltage for dielectric breakdown decreases. When the electric field strength of the liquid jet exceeds that for the air breakdown, a portion of the electric charges in the liquid jet is dissipated into the ambient air, and the charge density shows a limiting value. Atomization quality can be improved by increasing the flow rate because the higher charge density is achieved with the larger liquid velocity in addition to the enhanced aerodynamic effect.

Effects of liquid flow rate, input voltage, and distance between the needle and the ground electrode (nozzle-embedded metal plate) have been examined. For fixed electrode distances, total and spray currents increase with the increase of liquid flow rate and input voltage. When the distance between the needle tip and the ground electrode becomes closer, the total, leakage and spray currents increase, while the onset voltage for the dielectric breakdown decreases. When the electric field strength of the liquid jet exceeds that for the air breakdown, a portion of the electric charges in the liquid jet is dissipated into the ambient air, and the charge density shows a limiting value.
