The bolier systems of coal fired power plants are large, non-linear systems with numerous interactions between its component parts. In the analysis of such complex systems, dynamic simulation is recognized as a powerful method of keeping track of the myriad of interactions. The boiler system consists of air/gas system and water/steam system. Due to recent reinforcement of environmental regulation on pollutant discharge and requirements of design validation on properites of boiler, the commercial programs are used for the analysis of boiler system. This paper addressed to the development of model using MMS(Modular Modeling System) developed by EPRI(Electric Power Research Institute) as the simulation tool. The developed model using MMS is tested for the design and local data on boiler combustion system of korea standard coal fired power plant boiler. The simulation results show that the developed model well reproduces responses of the combustion system with less than ${\pm}$5% error under steady state and transient state conditions. The developed model for analysis of the combustion system in this paper is general and applicable to any type of coal fired power plant.

This study proposes a weight reduction design for urban transit, specifically, a Korean EMU carbody made of aluminum extrusion profiles, according to size optimization and useful material changes. First, the thickness of the under-frame, side-panels, and end-panels were optimized by the size optimization process, and then, the weight of the Korean EMU carbody could be reduced to approximately 14.8%. Second, the under-frame of the optimized carbody was substituted with a frame-type structure made of SMA 570, and then, the weight of the hybrid-type carbody was 3.8% lighter than that of the initial K-EMU. Finally, the under-frame and the roof-panel were substituted with a composite material sandwich to obtain an ultralight hybrid-type carbody. The weight of the ultralight hybrid-type carbody was 30% lighter than that of the initial K-EMU. All the resulting carbody models satisfied the design regulations of the domestic Performance Test Standard for Electrical Multiple Unit.

Most of current shopping malls do not satisfy everyone because they present arrangements of goods and suggestions uniformly and comprehensively according to the thinking of their managers. On the other hand not the standard of selection but the comparison of price plays a decisive role of the purchase of goods as similar form each other. When classifying into groups according to generations, gender, income, job, hobby, etc. the propensity of purchase is showed differently and the interest and real purchasing power of the individual is different in shopping malls. It also will maximize the purchasing power of customers to make and implement the sales strategy more quickly as the basis of fashion and season of environmental factors and natural calamity of environmental variable according to the economic principle. This paper concentrates on the design and implementation of intelligent shopping mall that is added the sales strategy according to environmental variable and can not only analysis, update and classify the propensity of purchase continuously but also construct optimal goods automatically.

Home health care with compact wearable units sounds to be a convenient solution for the elderly people living independently. This paper presents a method to detect fall from the other activities of daily living and also to classify those activities. This kind of ambulatory monitoring enables them to get an emergency help in the case of the fatal fall event and can provide their general health status by observing the activities being performed in daily life. A tri-axial accelerometer sensor is used to get the acceleration anomalies associated with the user's movements. The three axis acceleration data are transferred to the base station sensor node via an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant zigbee module. The base station sensor node sends the data to base station PC for an offline processing. This work shows the feature set preparation using the principal component analysis (PCA) for the designing of neural network. The work includes the most common activities of daily living (ADL) like Rest, Walk and Run along with the detection of fall events from ADL. The angle from the vertical is found to be the most significant feature parameter for classification of fall while mean, standard deviation and FFT coefficients were used as the feature parameter for classifying the other activities under consideration. The accuracy for detection of fall events is 86%. The overall accuracy for ADL and fall is 94%.

As the importance of knowledge management is being recognized, there is a significant amount of increase for interest in data warehousing. On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems can effectively make use of data warehouses. Although there are many commercial OLAP products, they have been developed without any kind of standard resulting in poor data exchange and difficulty in interfacing among the OLAP products. In this paper we propose an OLAP metadata interchange model that can be used among different OLAP products and have implemented an OLAP metadata interchange system that can interchange the cubes created from the metadata. XML is used for the OLAP metadata model and the user interface is Web-based, which makes it easier to interchange metadata among different OLAP products. Users can experience the different analysis environments of different products without the need to learn the complex cube creation process for each product. By extending this research to design a common query language that can be used among OLAP products, OLAP products should be able to more easily talk to one another.

An experimental study on the air-side pressure drop of slit fin-tube heat exchanger has been carried out. The data reduction methodology for air-side pressure drop in the literature is not based on a consistent approach. This paper focuses on method of data reduction to obtain the air-side performance of fin-tube heat exchanger using R22 and recommends standard procedures for dry and wet surface pressure drop estimation in fin-tube heat exchanger. A comparison was made between the predictions of previously proposed empirical correlations and experimental data for the air-side pressure drop on design conditions of condenser and evaporator. Results are pre-sented as plots of friction f-factor against Reynolds number based on the fin collar outside diameter and compared with previous studies. The data covers a range of refrigerant mass fluxes of $150{\sim}250\;kg/m^2s$ with air flows at velocity ranges from 0.38 m/s to 1.6 m/s.

In this study, an alternative bend design is proposed to overcome the aging problem in piping bends. In this design, the foam pad is not included. Finite element analysis was performed based on the total pipe diameter. From this analysis, the shape of the Shear Control Ring (SCR) was determined. Temperature, stress, and other data of the proposed reinforced pipe were acquired and analyzed after the test was performed. The value of the thermal stress for the reinforced steel pipe satisfied the required standard without the foam pad based on the manufacturing of the reinforced fitting and construction site of the test. The reinforcement provided a shear strength level for the foam pad that resulted in maximum shear stress less than stress based on the original foam pad applied at the pipe bend. Additionally, an increasing factor of safety effect for the reinforced fitting application was discovered.

In this study, the moisture absorption and desorption properties presented by the Health-Friendly Housing Construction Standards of South Korea were compared using the wood of three tree species (Douglas-fir, Hinoki, Larch) and two types of wood-based materials(Plywood, WML Board^Ⓡ). The national standards for functional building materials present that the amounts of moisture absorption and desorption should be at least 65g/㎡ on average, respectively according to the test method under KS F 2611:2009. Therefore, in this study, the moisture absorption/desorption properties of materials with no treatment (Control), with punching, and with surface stain finishing and the moisture absorption/desorption property improvement effects of the treatments were compared and analyzed. According to the results of this study, it was evaluated that all five types of wood and wood-based materials tested did not satisfy the amount of moisture absorption/desorption of at least 65g/㎡, which is the performance standard for moisture absorption/desorption functional building materials, indicating that untreated wood and wood-based materials cannot be applied as functional finishing materials according to the Health-Friendly Housing Construction Standards. The surface stain finishing greatly reduced the moisture absorption and desorption rates of the materials, and the amounts of moisture absorbed and desorbed were also shown to decrease by at least two times on average. When the surfaces of the materials were punched with Ø4mm holes at intervals of 20 mm, the moisture absorption/desorption areas increased from 18% to 51%, and this increase was shown to be capable of increasing the amounts of moisture absorbed/desorbed by 29% on average at the minimum, and 81% on average at the maximum. The effects of punching were shown to be identical even in cases where the materials were stain finished. For the application of wood or wood-based materials as eco-friendly, health-friendly, and moisture absorption/desorption functional building materials hereafter, it is judged that new physical and chemical improvement studies should be conducted, and treatment methods should be developed.
