Heliostat in the tower type solar thermal power plant is a mirror system tracking the sun's movement to collect the solar energy and it is the most important subsystem determining the efficiency of solar thermal power plant. Thus a good performance of it, which is mostly the accurate sun tracking performance under the various hazardous operating condition, is required. Heliostat control system is a system to manage the heliostat sun tracking movement and other operations. It also communicates with the master controller through the heliostat filed control system to receive and send the informations required to operate the heliostat as a part of the solar thermal power plant. This study presents a heliostat control system designed and developed for the 1MW solar thermal power plant. We first define the functionality of heliostat control system. Then sun tracking controller as well as the sun tracking algorithm satisfying the required functionality have been developed. We tested the developed heliostat control system and it showed a good performance in regulation of heliostat motion and communication.

The numerical solutions of unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection Couette flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between the two vertical parallel plates in the presence of thermal radiation, thermal diffusion and diffusion thermo are obtained here. The fundamental dimensionless governing coupled linear partial differential equations for impulsive movement and uniformly accelerated movement of the plate were solved by an efficient Finite Element Method. Computations were performed for a wide range of the governing flow parameters, viz., Thermal diffusion (Soret) and Diffusion thermo (Dufour) parameters, Magnetic field parameter, Prandtl number, Thermal radiation and Schmidt number. The effects of these flow parameters on the velocity (u), temperature (${\theta}$) and Concentration (${\phi}$) are shown graphically. Also the effects of these pertinent parameters on the skin-friction, the rate of heat and mass transfer are obtained and discussed numerically through tabular forms. These are in good agreement with earlier reported studies. Analysis indicates that the fluid velocity is an increasing function of Grashof numbers for heat and mass transfer, Soret and Dufour numbers whereas the Magnetic parameter, Thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number and Schmidt number lead to reduction of the velocity profiles. Also, it is noticed that the rate of heat transfer coefficient and temperature profiles increase with decrease in the thermal radiation parameter and Prandtl number, whereas the reverse effect is observed with increase of Dufour number. Further, the concentration profiles increase with increase in the Soret number whereas reverse effect is seen by increasing the values of the Schmidt number.

Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) can be a cost-effective and renewable geothermal energy source, depending on site-specific and thermohydraulic conditions. To design an effective ATES system having influenced by groundwater movement, understanding of thermo hydraulic processes is necessary. The heat transfer phenomena for an aquifer heat storage are simulated using FEFLOW with the scenario of heat pump operation with pumping and waste water reinjection in a two layered confined aquifer model. Temperature distribution of the aquifer model is generated, and hydraulic heads and temperature variations are monitored at the both wells during 365 days. The average groundwater velocities are determined with two hydraulic gradient sets according to boundary conditions, and the effect of groundwater flow are shown at the generated thermal distributions of three different depth slices. The generated temperature contour lines at the hydraulic gradient of 0.00 1 are shaped circular, and the center is moved less than 5m to the groundwater flow direction in 365 days simulation period. However at the hydraulic gradient of 0.01, the contour center of the temperature are moved to the end of boundary at each slice and the largest movement is at bottom slice. By the analysis of thermal interference data between two wells the efficiency of the heat pump system model is validated, and the variation of heads is monitored at injection, pumping and no operation mode.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thermal resistance of pesticideprotective clothing and to investigate its subjective wear performance. Three different nonwoven fabrics, which provide barrier properties against water and pesticide, were used to manufacture the experimental clothing: spunbonded nonwoven (SB), spunbonded/meltblown/spunbonded nonwoven (SM), and spunlaced nonwoven (SL). The thermal insulation values of the experimental clothing were measured with a thermal manikin, and other wear trials were performed on human subjects in a climate chamber at $28^{\circ}C$, with 70% R.H. and air movement at less than 0.15m/s. Our results found that the thermal resistance was lower in the SB experimental clothing than in the others; that the mean skin temperature of subjects who wore the experimental clothing made with SL was significantly lower than that of subjects who wore the SB and SM clothing; and that the microclimate temperature and humidity with SB were significantly higher than that of the others. Overall, the experimental clothing made with SL was more comfortable than the others in terms of subjective wear sensations.

원자로냉각재계통의 설계를 위한 구조해석 분야에는 원자로의 정상운전 과정에서 발생하는 유체의 온도와 압력의 변화에 의해 냉각재계통에 발생하는 정적하중해석, 지진과 가상적인 분지관 파단사고에 의해 냉각재계통에 발생하는 동적하중해석분야로 구분할 수 있다. 원자로냉가재계통의 구조해석은 원자력발전소의 안전성 화보 측면을 중시하여 해석시 충분한 여유도를 고려한 보수적인 해석 방법을 원용한다. 지진이나 가상적인 분지관 파단사고에 의한 냉각재계통의 구조해석은 사고시 냉각재계통의 안전성을 유지하는 방어적인 개념으로서 기기의 건전성을 확보하기 위하여 충분한 보수성과 안전여유가 해석시 고려된다 정상운전에 의해 냉각재계통에 발생하는 하중은 원자력 발전소의 상존하는 하중의 개념으로서 냉각재계통의 기본 설계 하중으로 인식된다. 특히 고온 고압의 유체로 인하여 발생하는 냉각재 계통의 열팽창 현상은, 정상운전 하중으로 인하여 나타나는 전형적인 거동으로서, 냉각재계통 구조해석 결과읜 중요한 지표로서 인식된다. 따라서 냉각재계통의 열팽창 현상을 정확히 예측하는 것은 원자로 냉각재계통 구조해석의 가장 중요한 목표중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 정상운전 하중에 의한 원자로 냉가재계통의 열팽창 거동을 해석하기 위한 냉각재계통의 모델링 방법과 해석 방법을 제시하였다. 해석 결과의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 최근 건설 완료 단계에 돌입한 표준형 1000 MWe 급 가압경수로(Pn)의 고온기능시험 (Hot Function Test)과정에서 실측한 자료를 근거로 하여 원자로냉각재계통의 열팽창 거동 해석의 타당성을 입증코자 하였다.

The one-dimensional finite element program was developed to analyze the coupled behavior of heat, moisture, and air transfer in unsaturated porous media. By using this program, the simulation results were compared with those from the laboratory infiltration tests under isothermal condition and temperature gradient condition, respectively. The discrepancy of water uptake was found in the upper region of a bentonite sample under isothermal condition between numerical simulation and laboratory experiment. This indicated that air pressure was built up in the bentonite sample which could retard the infiltration velocity of liquid. In order to consider the swelling phenomena of compacted bentonite which cause the discrepancy of the distribution of water content and temperature, swelling and shrinkage factors were incorporated into the finite element formulation. It was found that these factors could be effective to represent the moisture diffusivity and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity due to volume change of bentonite sample.

Cracks in the underground structures are mainly observed due to internal ununiformity of thermal stresses or restraint of structural movement in associate with rapid temperature gradient. Especially, thermal cracks are known to occur easily in a massive structure, but possibility of these depend on the amount of cement applied and ratio of span to height of the structure even though the thickness is less than specification‘s. Thus, this study aims at how to control thermal cracks in a massive subway structure and figures out an optimized construction method and procedure. As results of parametric study for length, height and outer temperature for concrete placement, it is found that hydration heats were not affected by both length and height of concrete placement but thermal stresses were greatly dependent. Most effective ways of controling thermal cracks were to fit a proper ratio of length to height of concrete placement and to decrease temperature of concrete placement as much as possible.

To find a long term horizontal movement of superstructure caused by seasonal thermal change, several types of gages are installed such as soil earth pressuremeter behind stub abutment and jointmeter between approach slab and relief slab. As results, maximum passive earth pressure behind integral bridge abutments centerline with lateral movement of superstructure is about 1/6 of classic Rankine's earth pressure. And its distribution is not triangular but rectangular shape due to shape behind integral bridge abutments.

한라산 표고 1,710m에 발달한 나지 표층에 2개의 페인트 라인을 설치하여 자갈의 이동량을 관측하고, 이동 프로세스와 관련된 요인을 검토하였다. 관측 기간에 발생한 자갈의 이동량은 평균 58.2cm로서 일평균 이동 거리는 0.24cm이다. 계절별로 비교하면 동결기 0.3cm에 대하여 비동결기는 0.05cm에 불과하여 표층 자갈은 주로 동결기에 주빙하 프로세스를 통하여 이동하고 있다. 특히 서릿발 포행을 비롯한 동상 포행이 자갈의 이동을 주도하고 있다. 사면 경사각의 영향은 관측 기간 내내 측선 II의 이동량이 측선 I보다 큰 결과에 반영되어 있지만, 암괴와 식생이 자갈의 이동을 방해하므로 절대적이지는 않다. 자갈의 크기와 비중도 이동량에 관여하는 요인으로서 특히 스코리아의 작은 비중이 매우 큰 이동량을 가져왔다.
