This study aims to evaluate the correlation between vertical solar radiation and the level of heating load according to the location and type of housing in multi-family apartments. This study shows that heating load is related with factors such as wall loss, window loss, ventilation loss and solar radiation gain. The heating load increases in the order of the middle floors, the highest floors and the lowest floors. The lowest and the highest floors are the most vulnerable floors, and it should be as emphasized as the middle floors. The heating load saving proposal contains 52 Alt. that shows heating load savings from min. 4% to max. 49%. The goal is to reduce the heating load of the highest and the lowest floors to the level of the middle floors. The result showed that there are 3 Alt. for the lowest floors and 16 Alt. for the highest floors as the heating load saving proposal. This study suggests integrated application to compose saving elements of heating load. so it could be utilized as a data for the construction of passive houses.

Predicting lower flammability limits (LFL) of hydrogen has become an ever-important task for safety of nuclear industry. While numerous experimental studies have been conducted, LFL results applicable for the harsh environment are still lack of information. Our aim is to develop a calculated non-adiabatic flame temperature (CNAFT) model to better predict LFL of hydrogen mixtures in nuclear power plant. The developed model is unique for incorporating radiative heat loss during flame propagation using the CNAFT coefficient derived through previous studies of flame propagation. Our new model is more consistent with the experimental results for various mixtures compared to the previous model, which relied on calculated adiabatic flame temperature (CAFT) to predict the LFL without any consideration of heat loss. Limitation of the previous model could be explained clearly based on the CNAFT coefficient magnitude. The prediction accuracy for hydrogen mixtures at elevated initial temperatures and high helium content was improved substantially. The model reliability was confirmed for $H_2-air$ mixtures up to $300^{\circ}C$ and $H_2-air-He$ mixtures up to 50 vol % helium concentration. Therefore, the CNAFT model developed based on radiation heat loss is expected as the practical method for predicting LFL in hydrogen risk analysis.

The objectives of this study are to find out and to analyze the heat transmission characteristics of the conventional and prefabricated Ondol systems. To compare the thermal characteristics of these Ondol, a real sized Ondol model is set in a chamber. Hot water whose temperature is varied from $45^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ with $5^{\circ}C$ interval is supplied to each Ondol system. At that time the temperature distribution of floor surface, the amount of supplied heat, the heat radiation aspect and the heat loss from the floor to the underground are measured and analyzed simultaneously. As a result, even if the supplied hot water temperature to the prefabricated Ondol panel is lower by about $5^{\circ}C$ than that of the conventional Ondol panel, the net radiant effect is same. Heat radiation efficiency of the prefabricated Ondol panel is over 5% better than that of the conventional Ondol panel. It takes 12 hours for the conventional Ondol and 45 minutes for the prefabricated Ondol, respectively to reach steady state.

The ignition phenomena of a solid fuel plate of polymethyl-methacrylate(PMMA), which is vertically positioned and exposed to a thermal radiation source, is numerically studied here. A two-dimensional transient model includes such various aspects as thermal decomposition of PMMA, gas phase radiation absorption, gas phase chemical reaction and air entrainment by natural convection. Whereas the previous studies considers the problem approximately in a one-dimensional form by neglecting the natural convection, the present model takes account of the two-dimensional effect of radiation and air entrainment. The inert heating of the solid fuel is also taken into consideration. Radiative heat transfer is incorporated by th Discrete Ordinates Method(DOM) with the absorption coefficient evaluated using gas species concentration. The thermal history of the solid fuel plate shows a good agreement compared with experimental results. Despite of induced natural convective flow that induces heat loss from the fuel surface, the locally absorbed radiant energy, which is converted to the internal energy, is found to play an important role in the onset of gas phase ignition. The ignition is considered to occur when the rate of variation of gas phase reaction rate reaches its maximum value. Once the ignition takes place, the flame propagates downward.

When a thermocouple is placed in a high temperature gas-flow stream, the measured temperature could be biased from the true gas temperature due to a large radiation heat loss from a thermocouple surface to its surroundings. In this study, two thermocouples of unequal diameters with 1/8 inch and 1/16 inch are used to correct the radiation effect. The method is called the reduced radiation error (RRE). The preliminary test results show that the radiation and the sheath conduction cannot be negligible for the gas temperature measurement. To minimize the sheath conduction effect, all the thermocouples will have a grounded junction and 1/8 inch thermocouple will be replaced with 1 mm thermocouples. In addition, the computational fluid dynamics code analysis shows that there is a negligible temperature difference between the positions where the thermocouples were installed.

The characteristics of flame propagation in inert particle-laden $H_2$/Air premixed gas are numerically investigated on this study. The 2nd order TVD scheme is applied to numerical analysis of governing equations and multi-step chemical reaction model and detailed transport properties are sued to solve chemical reaction terms. Radiation heat transfer is computed by applying the finite volume method to a radiative transfer equation. The burning velocities against the mole fractions of hydrogen agree well with results performed by different workers. The inert particles play significant roles in the flame propagation on account of momentum and heat transfer between gas and particles. Gas temperature, pressure and flame propagation speed are decreased as the loading ratio of particle is increased. Also the products behind flame zone contain lots of water vapor whose absorption coefficient is much larger than that of unburned gas. Thus, the radiation effect of gas and particles must be considered simultaneously for the flame propagation in a mixture of $H_2$/Air and inert particles. As a result, it is founded that because the water vapor emits much radiation and this emitted radiation is released at boundaries as radiant heat loss as well as reabsorbed by gas and particles, flame propagation speed and flame structure are altered with radiation effect.

[ $CH_4-He/Air$ ] 대향류 확산화염의 저 화염 신장율에서 진동 불안정성에 관하여 실험적으로 연구하였다. 저 화염 신장율에서 진동 불안정은 Le가 1보다 클 때 소화한계 부근에서 발행하고 측면방향 열손실이 중요한 역할을 한다. 화염이 진동할 때 화염의 형태는 전진하거나 후퇴하는 edge flame이고 진동의 동적거동은 성장, 조화 그리고 감쇠 진동 모드 세 가지로 나타났다. 전체 화염 신장율이 감소하면 진동의 진폭은 커지게 되는데 이는 화염의 크기가 감소하게 되어 측면 열손실이 증가하였기 때문이다. 저 화염 신장율에서 edge flame의 진동 불안정성은 Le 뿐만 아니라 복사와 측면 열손실도 밀접한 관계가 있다.

This study examines seasonal variability of the surface energy balance at the King Sejong Station, Antarctica, using measurements and estimates of the components related to the balance for the period of 1996 to 2004. Annual average of downward shortwave radiation at the surface is 81 $Wm^{-2}$ which is 37% of the extraterrestrial value, with the monthly maximum of 188 $Wm^{-2}$ in December and the minimum of 8 $Wm^{-2}$ in June. These values are relatively smaller than those at other stations in Antarctica, which can be attributed to higher cloudy weather conditions in Antarctic front zone. Surface albedo varies between ~0.3 in the austral summer season and ~0.6 in the winter season. As a result, the net shortwave radiation ranges from 117 $Wm^{-2}$ down to 3 $Wm^{-2}$ with annual averages of 43 $Wm^{-2}$. Annual average of the downward longwave radiation shows 278 $Wm^{-2}$, ranging from 263 $Wm^{-2}$ in August to 298 $Wm^{-2}$ in January. The downward longwave radiation is verified to be dependent strongly on the air temperature and specific humidity, accounting for 74% and 79% of the total variance in the longwave radiation, respectively. The net longwave radiation varies between 25 $Wm^{-2}$ and 40 $Wm^{-2}$ with the annual averages of 30 $Wm^{-2}$. Accordingly, the annual average energy balance is dominated by radiative warming of a positive net all-wave radiation from September to next March and radiative cooling of a negative net all-wave radiation from April to August. The net all-wave radiative energy gain and loss at the surface is mostly balanced by turbulent flux of sensible and latent heat. The soil heat flux is of negligible importance in the surface energy balance.
