Hot Spring Law of Taiwan was passed in legislative assembly on 3 June 2003. Hot springs would become one of the most important natural resources for recreation purposes. Both public and private sectors will invest large amount of capital in this area in the near future. The value of remote sensing technology is to give a critical tool for observing the landscape to find out mega-scaled geological structures, which may not be able to be found by conventional approaches. The occurrences of the hot springs in Taiwan are mostly in metamorphic and sedimentary rocks , other than in volcanic environments. Local geothermal anomaly or heat of springs transfer by liquid convection other than conduction or radiation. The deeply -seated fractures of hard rocks are the conduit of the convection of hot water, which could be as deep as 3000 meters in a hypothetical model of Taiwan. Clues to find outcrops of hot spring can be obtained by a structure-controlled model deduced by geological lineaments observed by satellite images and stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs. A case study conducted in Eastern Taiwan will be demonstrated.

본 논문에서는 지중배전(22.9kV) 선로에 사용되는 지상변압기를 대상으로 수행한 방열해석 및 개선과 변압기수명연장에 관한 검토 결과를 수록하였다. 변압기의 열화메커니즘에 대한 문헌 조사를 통해 변압기 온도와 수명간의 관계를 작도하였는바, 수명 평가를 위한 핵심 인자로 열에 의한 절연지의 열화에 초점을 맞추었다. 기존 외함에 설치된 방열구중 상부 위치를 상부판에도 변경하는 경우 약25%의 통풍량 증가 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 평가 되었으며 상부판과 내함 사이에 형성되던 고온 영역에서의 온도를 약$15^{\circ}C$정도 낮출 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 절연지의 인장강도 변화로 평가한 수명예측 곡선에 따르면 약$10^{\circ}C$의 은도 저감은 약10배의 수명 연장 효과를 가져오는 것으로 나타난바, 본 연구에서 확인한 방열구의 위치 변경에 따른 지상기기 내부의 온도 저하는 변압기 수명을 연장하는데 일조할 것으로 기대된다. 기존 지상변압기에서의 방열구조를 통해 변압기 온도와 수명간의 관계를 작도하였는바, 수명 평가를 위한 핵심인자로 효과적으로 방열할 수 있는 새로운 외함의 구조 및 디자인을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 개선효과를 예측하였다. 또한, 개선된 모델을 가지고 실제 변압기를 제작한 후 부하를 인가하여 개선전과 후에 대한 방열효과를 실증시험을 통해 확인하였다.

Detailed structures of the counterflow flames formed for different inlet fluid temperatures and different amount of additives are studied numerically. The detailed chemical reactions are modeled by using the CHEMKIN-II code. The discrete ordinates method and the narrow band based WSGGM with a gray gas regrouping technique (WSGGM-RG) are applied for modeling the radiative transfer through non-homogeneous and non-isothermal combustion gas mixtures generated by the counterflow flames. The results compared with those obtained by using the SNB model show that the WSGGM-RG is very successful in modeling the counterflow flames with non-gray gas mixture. The numerical results also show that the addition of $CO_2\;or\;H_2O$ to the oxidant lowers the peak temperature and the NO concentration in flame. But preheat of fuel or oxidant raises the flame temperature and the NO production rates. $O_2$ enrichment also causes to raise the temperature distribution and the NO production in flame. And it is found that the $O_2$ enrichment and the fuel preheat were the major parameters in affecting the flame width.

An epoxy coating applied to the concrete surface of a containment building deteriorates in hazardous environments such as those containing radiation, heat, and moisture. Unlike metals, the epoxy coating on a concrete liner absorbs and discharges moisture during the degradations process, so it has a different density and volume during service. In this study, acoustic impedance was adopted for characterizing the degradation of a glass-reinforced epoxy coating using the acoustic reflection coefficient (reflectance) on a rough epoxy coating. For estimating the acoustic reflectance on a wavy epoxy coating surface, a probabilistic model was developed to represent the multiple irregular reflections of the acoustic wave from the wavy surface on the basis of the simulated annealing technique. A number of epoxy-coated concrete specimens were prepared and exposed to accelerated aging conditions to induce an artificial aging degradation in them. The acoustic impedance of the degraded epoxy coating was estimated successfully by minimizing the error between a waveform calculated from the mathematical model and a waveform measured from the surface of the rough coating.

The transformer is major equipment in power receiving and substation facilities. Necessary conditions required for the transformer are compactness, lightness, high reliability, economic advantages, and easy maintenance. The pole-mount transformer installed in distribution system is acting direct role in supply of electric power and it is electric power device should drive for long term. Most of modem transformer are oil-filled transformer and accident is happening considerable. The mold transformers have been widely used in underground substations in large building and have some advantages in comparison to oil-transformer, that is low fire risk, excellent environmental compatibility, compact size and high reliability. In addition, the application of mold transformer for outdoor is possible due to development of epoxy resin. The mold transformer generally has cooling duct between low voltage coil and high voltage coil. A mold transformer made by one body molding method has been developed for small size and low loss. One body molding transformer needs some cooling method because heat radiation between each winding is difficult. In this paper, The thermal analysis of pole mount mold transformer with one body molding by duct condition is investigated and the test result of temperature rise is compared with simulation data.

From a rapid cooling to a slow cooling in the actual cooling process in shipyards, the phase of steel becomes martensite, bainite, ferrite, and pearlite. In order to simulate the cooling process, heat transfer analysis was performed considering the effects of impinging water jet, film boiling, and radiation. From above simulation it is possible to find the cooling speed at the inherent strain region and volume percentage of all phases in that region. By the suggested method based on the precise material properties calculated from volume percentage of all phases, it will be possible to predict the plate deformations by line heating more precisely. It is verified by comparing with some experimental results that the present method is very effective and efficient.

Offshore plants should be managed at a high level of safety condition. Because the offshore plant has cramped space and has difficult access when a fire occurred, a fire can be critical to the plants. LED lighting can reduce the risk of fire by its lower energy consume suitable to intrinsic safety and lower heat radiation that can reduce the possibility of ignition. Also LED has a long lifetime. Though LED luminaire has various advantages for offshore plants, an international standard for the luminaire has not provided because it is new technology. Because there is no international and domestic standard specially provided for the LED luminaire, a guideline is required for developing the LED light and for the future establishment of an international standard. This study was conducted to develop the guideline for LED luminaire for offshore plants. Firstly, relevant standards were analyzed for the guideline. Then we found that there are editorial differences between international standards and domestic standards. So the guideline was developed based on international version and the differences between the domestic and international standard were provided to let Korean developers recognize the differences.

The potential impacts of climate change on heating and cooling energy demand were investigated by means of transient building energy simulations and hourly weather data scenarios for Inchon. Future trends for the 21 st century was assessed based oil climate change scenarios with 7 global climate models(GCMs), We constructed hourly weather data from monthly temperatures and total incident solar radiation ($W/m^2$) and then simulated heating and cooling load by Trnsys 16 for Inchon. For 2004-2080, the selected scenarios made by IPCC foresaw a $3.7-5.8^{\circ}C$rise in mean annual air temperature. In 2004-2080, the annual cooling load for a apartment with internal heat gains increased by 75-165% while the heating load fell by 52-71%. Our analysis showed widely varying shifts in future energy demand depending on the season. Heating costs will significantly decrease whereas more expensive electrical energy will be needed of air conditioning during the summer.

Dosimetrical properties of polycarbonate film for high-level dosimetry of electrons have been examined. Polycartonate film of 0.1mm in thickness was chosen for this purpose. It can cover the dose range of 1.0-130 Mrad and the measurable range can be extended up to 200 Mrad by using calibration curve. The measurement error was within 3.5%. The radiation induced optical density at 330nm shows rapid initial fading of 7-l3n for one day after irradiation at room temperature and subsequent fading rate is very small, about 0.6% per day. The fading depends on the absorbed dose, storage temperature, and wavelengths. The effects of storage time and temperature during and after irradiation of this film are presented. For practical dosimetry, it is necessary to stabilize the induced optical density by storing the irradiated film for a day or by heat treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for an hour.

The performance of satellite parts must be verified under the space orbit environment before the launch. This paper develops a model formula considering the thermal environment such as conduction, radiation, heat loss and internal heating between satellite parts and a small thermal vacuum chamber for thermal vacuum tests. System identification is carried out using test data from 20 recent thermal vacuum tests conducted by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute. It is verified that the model formula and the identification results are valid, except when the heating of the functional test of the test specimen is not constant.
