The improvement of cold start capability is one of the most challenging tasks to be solved for commercialization of fuel cell vehicle. In this study, cold start test and ice blocking test(IBT) of fuel cell stack were carried out under various operating conditions. This fuel cell stack can be thawed from -20$^{\circ}$C within 25s and the voltage change was found to be comprised of 4 steps; the first step is the voltage decrease by overpotential, the second step is the voltage increase by the cell temperature increase, the third step is the voltage decrease by ice blocking, and the last step is the voltage increase by thawing. Bootstrap startup was failed after shutdown at temperature under 40$^{\circ}$C because of much condensed water in the fuel cell. Quantitative estimation of cold start capability have been demonstrated by ice blocking test(IBT). In the results, it was found that cold start capability was improved double every 10$^{\circ}$C from 30$^{\circ}$C to 65$^{\circ}$C and enhanced by 30% at the condition of SR 3/4 compared to SR 1.5/2.0 and enhanced by 20% with dry purge condition compared to with RH 50% purge condition.

In order to investigate the feasibility of a direct ice slurry transporting system for the purpose of district cooling, a case study of field application is performed. The research aims include the field measurement of ice packing factor, the performance of coldness delivery, and the branching characteristics of ice slurry. Two representative types of pipe branch are dealt with in this work. For the slurry flow with ice volume fraction of 0.16 or less, the pipe blocking due to aggregation is not observed. Based on the time-wise variation of temperature in the storage tank, a calculating method of ice packing factor is newly developed, which seems to be useful when the brine concentration is unknown. It is confirmed that the mass flow rate of ice slurry per unit cooling load is markedly reduced with increasing the ice content. The pumping power also decreases, but remains unchanged for high ice fractions. The distribution of ice particle before and after branching shows a good uniformity within the range of 5% difference, but yields a unique trend depending on the flow rate.

In special industrial fields such 3s nuclear power plants and chemical plants, it is often necessary to repair system components without plant shutdown or drainage of system having many piping structures which may have hazardous or expensive fluid. A temporary ice plugging method for blocking internal flow is considered as a useful method in that case. According to the pipe freezing guideline of the nuclear power plant, the length of a freezing jacket must be longer than twice of the pipe diameter. However, for applying the ice plugging to short pipes which do not have enough freezing length because of geometrical configuration, it is inevitable to use shorter jacket less than twice of the pipe diameter. In this study, the integrity evaluation for short pipes in the nuclear power plant Is conducted by an experiment and the finite element analysis. From the results, the ice plugging process in short pipes can be safely carried out without any plastic deformation and fracture.

얼음을 제공하는 기능이 구비된 냉장고는 대부분 냉장고 내부의 얼음 저장소에 미리 얼음을 채워 두고 사용자가 필요할 때 많은 양의 얼음을 취출할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 그러나 냉장고의 얼음 저장소에 얼음이 채워진 상태로 냉장고가 장기간 사용되지 않거나 정상적인 동작 중에도 시간이 경과하면 얼음이 서로 엉기는 현상이 발생한다. 이렇게 엉긴 얼음 덩어리를 분리시키는 메커니즘이 구비되어 있으나 얼음 엉김 현상이 심할 경우 얼음이 완전히 취출되지 못하는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 얼음이 엉기는 과정과 얼음의 분리력에 관한 기존의 연구를 조사하였고, 인위적으로 얼음을 엉기게 하여 다양한 조건에서 얼음의 취출 정도를 실험하였다. 이 과정에서 얼음의 취출을 방해하는 기존 얼음 저장소 형상의 문제점에 착안하여 이를 개선하기 위한 형상과, 완전 취출을 위해 얼음 분쇄 메커니즘의 작동 반경을 넓히는 새로운 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 메커니즘의 시제품을 제작하고 실제 냉장고에 적용하여 얼음이 완전 취출됨을 검증하였다. 그 결과 기존 얼음 저장소의 형상과 분쇄 메커니즘에서 얼음 취출률이 65%정도이었으나, 제안된 형상과 메커니즘에서는 완전히 추출되었다.

The "Barents Oscillation (BO)", first designated by Paul Skeie (2000), is an anomalous recurring atmospheric circulation pattern of high relevance for the climate of the Nordic Seas and Siberia, which is defined as the second Emperical Orthogonal Function (EOF) of monthly winter sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies, where the leading EOF is the Arctic Oscillation (AO). BO, however, did not attracted much interest. In recent two decades, variability of BO tends to increase. In this study, we analyzed the spatio-temporal structures of Atmospheric internal modes such as Arctic Oscillation (AO) and Barents Oscillation (BO) and examined how these are related with Arctic warming in recent decade. We identified various aspects of BO, not dealt in Skeie (2000), such as upper-level circulation and surface characteristics for extended period including recent decade and examined link with other surface variables such as sea-ice and sea surface temperature. From the results, it was shown that the BO showed more regionally confined spatial pattern compared to AO and has intensified during recent decade. The regional dipolelar structure centered at Barents sea and Siberia was revealed in both sea-level pressure and 500 hPa geopotential height. Also, BO showed a stronger link (correlation) with sea-ice and sea surface temperature especially over Barents-Kara seas suggesting it is playing an important role for recent Arctic amplification. BO also showed high correlation with Ural Blocking Index (UBI), which measures seasonal activity of Ural blocking. Since Ural blocking is known as a major component of Eurasian winter monsoon and can be linked to extreme weathers, we suggest deeper understanding of BO can provide a missing link between recent Arctic amplification and increase in extreme weathers in midlatitude in recent decades.

이 연구는 현풍석빙고의 미기후 특성을 분석하여 손상에 영향을 미친 기후인자를 해석하고 보존환경을 평가한 것이다. 석빙고의 내부 구성부재에는 균열, 이격, 탈락, 박락, 백화, 갈색 변색, 흑색 변색 및 생물에 의한 변색이 발생하였으며, 이 중 생물에 의한 변색이 가장 높은 훼손율(24%)을 보였다. 석빙고 내부의 환경은 외부의 기상 변화에 따라 변동하나 변동폭과 일교차가 작고 일정한 온습도를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 석빙고 전면의 산사면과 폐쇄된 입구환경이 외기를 차단하여 온습도의 변화를 최소화하였기 때문이다. 석빙고의 단열환경은 수분의 응축과 동결 현상을 방지하여 물리적 손상도를 저감하고 장빙기능을 극대화한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 99% 이상의 높은 상대습도는 미생물의 생장을 활성화시켜 생물학적인 손상도를 높인 것으로 해석된다.

본 연구에서는 3차원 상용 수치모형 Flow-3D를 활용하여 상류 수위(유입유량) 변동, 격벽의 간격(pool의 길이) 변화, 잠공 유무 등에 따른 아이스 하버 어도 내 흐름 양상을 분석하였다. 수치모의 결과의 적합성을 입증하기 위해 경안천 대곡교 하류에 설치된 실제 어도에서 3차원 초음파 유속계를 사용하여 어도 출구부 단면 유속과 유량을 관측하였다. Flow-3D 모형에는 난류 모듈로 4가지를 선택할 수 있는데, 관측 자료로 검증 결과 RNG 모형이 아이스하버 어도 내 흐름 특성을 가장 잘 재현하였다. 하천의 유량 전량이 어도로만 유입되어 흐른다는 조건에서 수위 변화에 따른 어도 내 유속구조를 모의해 보았다. 그 결과 최저수위에서는 잠입류와 표면류가 혼재하여 발생하였는데, 최저수위에서 약 10 cm 이상만 수위가 상승하여도 모든 pool에서 잠입류가 사라지고 오직 표면류만 발생하였다. 예상과 달리 수위가 조금 상승해도 흐름이 꽤 단순하게 표면류 위주로 발생하였다. 격벽간 간격을 늘려주면 수위가 상승하더라도 잠입류와 표면류가 혼재되어 나타나는 현상이 지속되었다. 그리고 격벽 하단에 잠공이 있는 경우가 없는 경우에 비해 잠입류가 여러 pool에서 생성되는 경향을 보였다. 보다 적극적인 어도 사후 관리로 잠공 폐색을 막아 어도 내 다양한 흐름이 생성될 수 있도록 유도하는 것이 필요해 보인다.

Cold start of a fuel cell system is a major obstacle should be overcome as to commercialize it, especially for passenger vehicle applications. However, the cold start characteristics is so complicated since it involves various phenomenon such as ice-blocking in GDL, ionic conductivity in membrane affected by water activity with phase change, heat transfer through components such as bipolarplates or endplates, electro-chemical reactions affected by circumferential temperature and humidity as well. Axiomatic design provides a systematic method to investigate the complex phenomenon although it was developed as a methodology to establish logical design procedure by Nam P. Suh in 1990s. This paper presents a framework to approach the complex cold start problem using Axiomatic Design which features simplifying a problem through hierarchical decomposition and decoupling from the view of functional requirements and design parameters.

PURPOSE: This study examined sports injuries among national sitting volleyball players and to provide baseline data for the development of programs to prevent injuries and enhance performance. METHODS: The study surveyed 21 national team athletes (12 males and nine females) participating in the 4^th Hangzhou Asian Para Games. The questionnaire consisted of 17 items, including general information, type of disability, sites and types of sports injuries and their causes, the current state of sports injuries and the treatment and management of injuries. RESULTS: The survey results suggested that the most common injury sites were the finger, shoulder, and waist. The most frequent types of injuries were sprain, muscle cramp, and LBP. The causes were insufficient warm-up, playing unhealed and carelessness. Injuries were most prevalent during morning training and in the winter. Most injuries occurred in practice, and the actions most likely to cause injuries were blocking, spike and sitting movements. Ice and spray were the most common treatments, usually administered by the athletes themselves. Physical therapy was the most common post-injury management, and the most common sequelae involved continuing to use despite pain. CONCLUSION: Based on these results, systematic and individualized training and therapeutic support tailored to the characteristics of sitting volleyball and the types of disabilities are necessary to prevent and manage sports injuries among national players. Continuous injury management by medical staff, particularly physical therapists, is essential to maintain the health of disabled athletes.

The cold start problem is one of major obstacles to overcome for the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles. However, the cold start characteristics of fuel cell systems are very complicated since various phenomena, i.e. ice-blocking, electro-chemical reactions, heat transfer, and defrosting of BOP components, are involved in them. This paper presents a framework to approach the problem at a full stack scale using Axiomatic Design (AD). It was characterized in terms of Functional Requirements (FRs) and Design Parameters (DPs) while their relations were established in a design matrix. Considering the design matrix, the endplates should have low thermal conductivity and capacity without increase in weight or decrease in structural stiffness. Consequently, composite sandwich endplates were proposed and examined both through finite element analyses and experiments simulating cold start conditions. From the examinations, it was found that the composite sandwich endplates significantly contributed to improving the cold start characteristics of PEMFC.
