A wind-heat generation system was developed and the system consisted of an electric motor, a heat generation drum, a heat exchanger, two circulation pumps and a water storage tank. The heat generation drum is an essential element determining performance of the system. Frictional heat was generated by rotation of a rotor in the drum filled with a working fluid, and the heat stored in the fluid was used to increase water temperature through the heat exchanger. Effects of some factors such as rotor shape, kind and amount of working fluid, rotor rpm and water flow rate in the heat exchanger, affecting the system performance were investigated. Amounts of heat generated were varied, ranging from 126,000 to 32,760 kJ/hr, depending on combination of the factors. Statistical analysis using GLM procedure revealed that the most influential factor to decide the system performance was amount of the fluid in the drum. Experiments showed that the faster the speed of the rotor, the greater heat was obtained. The greatest efficiency of the heat generation system, electric power consumption rate vs gained heat amount of water, was about 70%. Though the heat amount was not enough for plant bed heating of a 0.1-ha greenhouse, the system would be promising if some supplementary heat source such as air- water heat pump is added.

Knowledge of ground thermal properties is most important for the proper design of large scale BHE(borehole heat exchanger) systems. The type, pipe size and thermal performance of the BHE is highly dependent on the ground source heatpump system-efficiency and instruction cost. Thermal response tests with mobile measurement devices were developed primarily for insitu determination of design data for large diameter BHE for triple-U spacer apply. The main purpose has been to determine insitu values of effective ground thermal conductivity and thermal resistance, including the effect of ground-water flow and natural convection in the boreholes. The test rig is set up on a some trailer, and contains a circulation pump, a inline heater, temperature sensors, flow meter, power analysis meter and a data logger for recording the temperature, fluid flow data. A constant heat power is injected into the borehole through the tripl-U pipes system of test rig and the resulting temperature change in the borehole is recorded. The recorded temperature data are analysed with a line-source model, which gives the effective insitu values of rock thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance of large diameter BHE for spacer apply.

The flow characteristics of chicken blood in a micro-tube with a $100{\mu}m$ diameter are investigated using a micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Chicken blood with 40% hematocrit is supplied into the micro-tube using a syringe pump. For comparison, the same experiments are repeated for human blood with 40% hematocrit. Chicken blood flow has a cell-free layer near the tube wall, and this layer's thickness increases with the increased flow speed due to radial migration. As a hemorheological feature, the aggregation index of chicken blood is about 50% less than that of human blood. Therefore, the non-Newtonian fluid features of chicken blood are not very remarkable compared with those of human blood. As the flow rate increases, the blunt velocity profile in the central region of the micro-tube sharpens, and the parabolicshaped shear stress distribution becomes to have a linear profile. The viscosity of both blood samples in a low shear rate condition is overestimated, while the viscosity in a high shear rate range is underestimated due to radial migration and the presence of a cell-depleted layer.

This study evaluates the seasonal performances of the horizontal-type geothermal heat exchanger(HGHEX) installed into the foundation slabs of the complex building located at Seoul. The geothermal system is consisted with totally 31,860m long HGHEX, 16 GSHPs (Ground-source Heat Pump) and 8 circulation pumps. This system supplies cooling and heating to the lobby(F1) and the common spaces(BF1). The average heat exchange temperature differences are $2.7^{\circ}C\;and\;2.5^{\circ}C$ in the summer, $1.5^{\circ}C\;and\;0.5^{\circ}C$ in the winter for the F1 and BF1 respectively. From these results, approximately 400Gcal and 180Gcal of geothermal energy are assumed to have been used during the summer and winter seasons respectively. As a conclusion, the geothermal system is reviewed as a effective utility for heating and cooling at the point of seasonal performances.

The temperatures with the ground depth, the positions of circulation water in ground heat exchanger were measured and thermal diffusion characteristics with the distances of the direction normal to the borehole was analysed. The deeper the depth of ground, the less the influences of outdoor temperature, but below 10m of ground, there was no influences of ground temperature. When the depth of trench pipe was below the depth of 2m, there was no influence. In the ground of 10m when the distances between the pipe and the other places were above 0.5m, the variations of temperature were less than $1.6^{\circ}C$ and above 2.5m they were less than $0.1^{\circ}C$. When the distances of bore hole were above 5m, there were no. influences of the nearest ground heat exchanger.

A scroll expander was designed for an energy converter from waste heat of IC engine coolant to useful shaft work. The scroll expander is to run in a Rankine cycle which receives heat energy transferred from engine coolant circulation cycle. The working fluid was Ethanol. For axial compliance, a back pressure chamber was provided on the rear side of the orbiting scroll. Lubrication oil was delivered by a positive displacement type oil pump driven by the shaft rotation. Performance analysis on the scroll expander showed that the expander efficiency was 63.4%. It extracts shaft power of 0.6 kW out of engine coolant waste heat of 17.5 kW, resulting in the Rankine cycle efficiency of 3.43%.

For testing large-capacity pumps, the accurate flow rate measurement is needed in the test loop. As a measuring method of flow rate, venturi tube is recommended due to its low pressure loss. However, upstream disturbance of loop component such as a valve has an effect upon the accuracy of flow rate measurement. For controlling flow rate in case of high flow rate and large-scale piping system, a butterfly-type valve is generally used due to its compactness. However, a butterfly valve disturbs downstream flow by generating turbulence, cavities, or abrupt pressure change. In this study, the effect of downstream disturbance of butterfly valve on the flow rate measurement using a venturi tube is investigated. Test loop consists of circulation pump, reservoir, butterfly valve, venturi tube, and reference flow meter. The test is conducted with regard to a different valve opening angle of butterfly valve. According to the valve opening angle, the uncertainty of flow rate measurement is investigated.

The load of power plants changes every from time to time according to which steam flow of boiler changes. the feed water control is very important for the power plant to be operated in its stability conditions. In case of circulation type boiler, the instability of feed water control leads to instability of drum level control. The higher level of drum water can induce bad quality steam to go into turbine which means the possibility of damage. The lower level of drum water can induce the tubes of boiler water wall to be overheated. In case of once through type boiler, the instability of feed water control leads to bad cooling of superheaters. The less the feed water flow is, the more heated the superheater is. It is necessary for the turbine driving feed water pump to be controlled for the optimal feed water flow in the large capacity power plant. The speed of turbine is controled for the feed water flow. By the way, the optimal control of steam valve is necessary for the speed control of turbine. Therefore, the various kinds of the steam valve structures are introduced in this paper

Extracorporeal circulation leads to functional disorder and structural damage of organs, especially hematologic and pulmonary system, mainly by sequestration of neutrophils and deposition of macrophages at lung. Then, proteases are secreted, which insult vascular basement membrane of pulmonary capillary and alveolar septa of the lung. Among these, the most important protease at lung is elastase, because major component of lung is elastin. For prevention of lung injury, inactivators or antidotes to elastase should be necessary and Alpha 1-Proteinase Inhibitor is the elastase inactivator. Clinical experimental study was carried out to investigate the immediate postoperative change of serum Alpha 1-PI level following cardiopulmonary bypass for 20 heart cases [congenital 16 cases, acquired 4 cases] and 10 control [subtotal gastrectomy] cases. Also preliminary study was performed for 31 cases of open heart patients. The results were as follows: l. Immediate postoperative serum levels of Alpha 1-PI was significantly decreased at open heart surgery group [P< 0.005], but not decreased at control group. 2. There were no significant difference in change of serum Alpha 1-PI level between and membrane and bubble oxygenator group.Z 3. There were no significant difference in changes of serum Alpha 1-PI level between CHD and AHD. Alpha 1-PI is consumed at lung during cardiopulmonary bypass and increase after operation compensatedly and protect multiple organic damage especially lung. Therefore, Alpha 1-PI can be indicator for evaluation of prevention and treatment of pump-lung syndrome.
