Natural ventilation technique could be the substitute for or the complement to the local exhaust ventilation system in the sense of protecting work environment. Moreover, it has many strong points ; almost no mechanical parts, no energy use and no noise. If applied appropriately, it could have the very high ventilation rate and save a lot of energy expense. But, it depends on the outdoor environment, especially temperature and wind speed/direction. Predicting the capacity of natural ventilation is not an easy job because it comes from both buoyancy and wind effect. Another problem is too much flow through the ventilator especially in winter time due to too much difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. Thus some ventilators in industries are sealed by door or plastic sheet, resulting in bad work environment. Various types of dampers are used to control the flow rate through ventilators. The capabilities of flow control by damper has not been estimated. In addition, it was not tested whether the damper could obstruct the flow through ventilator when fully opened. To answer these questions, 4 types of dampers were tested by using computational fluid dynamics. 10 different configurations includes no damper, full open and half open. Flow rates were estimated and airflow fields were analysed to clarify the before-mentioned questions. The dual type damper was the best choice for controling the capability of ventilator. In addition, the upward grill type damper was the best for not obstructing the air flow when fully opened.

A dual micro gas sensor array was fabricated using nano sized $SnO_2$ thin films which had good sensitivities to CO and combustible gases, or $H_2S$ gas for air quality sensors in automobile. The already existed air quality sensor detects oxidizing gases and reducing gases, the air quality sensor(AQS), located near the fresh air inlet detected the harmful gases, the fresh air inlet door/ventilation flap was closed to reduce the amount of pollution entering the vehicle cabin through HVAC(heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) system. In this study, to make $SnO_2$ thin film AQS sensor, thin tin metal layer between 1000 and $2000{\AA}$ thick was oxidized between 600 and $800^{\circ}C$ by thermal oxidation. The gas sensing layers such as $SnO_2$, $SnO_2$(pt) and $SnO_2$(+CuO) were patterned by metal shadow mask for simple fabrication process on the silicon substrate. The micro gas sensors with $SnO_2$(+Pt) and $SnO_2$(CuO) showed good selectivity to CO gas among reducing gases and good sensitivity to $H_2S$ that is main component of bad odor, separately.

연구배경 : 일정한 분시 유지하면서도 기도압의 하나인 압력조절용적조정양식(PRVC)의 입상적 유용성에 대한 보고는 없었다. 본 연구는 호흡역학이 불안정한 환자에서 PRVC 양식이 원래의 개발 목적대로 압력 조절 양식에 비해 일호흡량을 일정하게 유지하면서 용적조절양식에 비해 기도압을 낮게 유지하는지를 관찰하였다. 연구방법 : 기계 호흡 중이며 활력징후의 안정을 보이는 환자 중 15분간 관찰 결과 VCV에서 최고 홉기압의 변이계수가 10이상으로 최고 홉기압의 변화가 심하거나, PCV에서 상시 호흡량의 변이계수가 10이상으로 일 호흡량의 변화가 심한 환자 8 명(남 : 녀=6 : 2, $56{\pm}26$세)를 대상으로 하여 일호흡량을 비슷한 유지하도록 VCV, PCV, PRVC 양식을 설정한 후 각 환기양식에서 15분간 일호흡량과 최고 흡기압을 관찰하였다. 결 과 : 1) 평균 일호흡량은 VCV에서 $431{\pm}102ml$, PCV에서 $417{\pm}99ml$, PRVC에서 $414{\pm}97ml$였으며 각 환기양식 간에 차이가 없었다. 2) 상시 호흡량의 변이계수는 VCV에서 $5.2{\pm}3.9%$, PCV에서 $15.2{\pm}7.5%$ PRVC에서 $19.3{\pm}10.0%$로 PCV와 PRVC에서 상시 호흡량의 변화가 심하였다(p<0.01). 3) 평균 최고 홉기압은 VCV에서 $31.0{\pm}6.9cm$ $H_2O$, PCV에서 $26.0{\pm}6.5cm$ $H_2O$, PRVC에서 $27.0{\pm}6.4cm$ $H_2O$로 PCV와 PRVC의 최고 흡기압의 VCV의 경우보다 낮게 유지되었다(p<0.01). 4) 최고 홉기압의 변이계수는 VCV에서 $13.9{\pm}3.7%$, PCV에서 $4.9{\pm}2.6%$, PRVC에서 $12.2{\pm}7.0%$로 VCV와 PRVC에서 최고 홉기압의 변동이 심하였다(p<0.01). 결 론 : PRVC 양식은 호흡역학이 불안정한 환자에서는 VCV에 비해 평균 최고 홉기압은 낮게 유지하였으나 최고 흡기압의 변동이 심하였고, PCV에 비해 상시 호흡량의 변동이 심하여 이중조절환기양식 본래의 목적을 달성하기 어려울 것으로 사료된다.

This article reviews the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigerating Engineering during 2010. It is intended to understand the status of current research in the areas of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation, and indoor environments of buildings and plant facilities. Conclusions are as follows. (1) Research trends of thermal and fluid engineering have been surveyed as groups of general thermal and fluid flow, fluid machinery, and new and renewable energy. Various topics were presented in the field of general thermal and fluid flow. Research issues mainly focused on the thermal reliability of axial fan and compressor in the field of fluid machinery. Studies on the design of ground source heat pump systems and solar chemical reactors were executed in the field of new and renewable energy.
