Surface heat transfer of a fully developed turbulent air flow in a $45^{\circ}$ inclined ribbed square duct with two and four heating walls was experimentally investigated, at which the experimental works were performed for Reynolds numbers ranging from 7,600 to 24,900. The pitch-to-rib height ratio, p/e was kept at 8 and rib-height-to-channel hydraulic diameter ratio, $e/D_h$ was kept at 0.0667. The channel length-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, $L/D_h$ was 60. The heat transfer coefficient values were decreased with the increase in the number of heating walls. Results of this investigation could be used in various applications of internal channel turbulent flow involving roughened walls.

A large part of the overall industrial energy is dissipated as waste heat despite of much development in the utilization of thermal energy. A mean efficiency is reported to be only around 30 to 35%. The existing waste heat recovery technology has reached its limit and consequently, the development of a new technology is necessary. Improving efficiency using thermoelectric technology has recently come into the spotlight because of its unique way to recover thermal energy. In fact, thermoelectric generator directly converts thermal energy into electric energy by a solid state without any moving parts. Futhermore remarkable improvement in the thermoelectric energy conversion efficiency has been achieved. In this study, a thermoelectric generator was made using commercialized thermoelectric modules. With thermoelectric modules attached on a duct surface, hot air was blown into the duct using a hot air blower. On the other side of the module, a water jacket was attached to cool the module. With different air inlet temperatures and water flowrates, the electrical power of the thermoelectric generator was measured.

The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLI) system is considered as one of the next generation fuel supply systems for LPG, vehicles, since it can accomplish the higher power, higher efficiency, and lower emission characteristics than the existing mixer type fuel supply system. However, during the injection of liquid LPG fuel into the inlet duct of an engine, a large quantity of heat is extracted due to evaporation of fuel. A problem is that the moisture in the air freezes around the outlet of a nozzle, which is called icing Phenomenon. It may cause damage to the outlet nozzle of an injector. The frozen ice deposit detached from the nozzle also may cause a considerable damage to the inlet valve or valve seat. In this work, the experimental investigation of the icing phenomenon was carried out. The results showed that the icing phenomenon and process were mainly affected by humidity of inlet air instead of the air temperature in the inlet duct. Also, it was observed that the icing occurs first in the inlet of a nozzle, and grows considerably at the upper part of the nozzle inlet and the opposite side of the nozzle entrance. An LPG fuel, mainly consisting of butane, has lower latent heat of vaporization than that of propane, which is an advantage in controlling the icing phenomenon.

Performance improvement of local exhaust system used in toilet and cooking place are main concern in a field of ventilation. In Korea, There are many high riser residential apartments in recent years. These buildings were not viewed as being major contributors to exhaust pollutants producted in indoor. It was because many engineers thought that exhaust in high riser building depends on stack effect. This study investigates on the performance improvement of terminal device, roof fan, of vertical spiral duct used in high riser residential apartments. This paper focuses mainly on the effect of accessories, number or shape of blades, composed of roof fan with function of exhaust air volume of toilet and cooking place. Roof fan with 10 blades is observed at optimum exhaust performance in this study.

Surface heat transfer of a fully developed turbulent air flow in a $45^{\circ}$ inclined ribbed square duct with two and four heating walls was experimentally investigated, at which the experimental works were peformed for Reynolds numbers ranging from 7,600 to 26,000. The pitch-to-rib height ratio, p/e, was kept at 8 and rib-height-to-channel hydraulic diameter ratio, $e/D_h$ was kept at 0.0667. The channel length-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, $L/D_h$ was 60. The heat transfer coefficient values were decreased with the increase in the number of heat-ing walls. Results of this investigation could be used in various applications of internal channel turbulent flow involving roughened walls.

온실의 한쪽 벽에 패드를 설치하고 반대쪽 벽에 팬을 설치하여 가동하는 팬 앤 패드 냉방 온실의 온도 경사 문제를 극복하기 위한 목적으로 일체형 팬 앤패드 시스템과 에어 덕트를 설치한 온실의 냉방 실험을 통하여 냉방성능을 분석하였다. 일체형 팬 앤 패드 증발냉각기의 효율은 1단 가동시 75.7%, 2단 가동시 88.6%로 나타나 대체로 우수한 냉각효율을 보이는 것으로 판단된다. 온실의 냉방성능 실험 결과 무차광 조건에서 온실 냉방 시스템을 가동할 경우 대조구 온실에 비해서 $5.7\sim7.6^{\circ}C$ 정도의 냉방효과가 있으며 차광 조건에서는 $7.4\sim9.7^{\circ}C$ 정도의 냉방효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 시스템을 적용할 경우 여름철 온실의 최고기온을 $37^{\circ}C$ 정도로써 외기온 대비 $5^{\circ}C$ 이내로 유지할 수 있으며, 적절한 차광을 실시할 경우에는 $33^{\circ}C$ 정도에 $2^{\circ}C$ 이내로 유지하는 것이 가능하여 고온기 작물재배에 큰 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각한다. 한편, 본 냉방 실험에서 온실의 온도 분포를 분석한 결과 18m 길이의 온실 내 최대 온도 편차는 차광시 $1.6\sim1.7^{\circ}C$, 무차광시 $2.3\sim2.7^{\circ}C$ 정도로 나타났다. Kittas 등(2003)과 Nam 등(2005)의 자료와 비교한 결과 본 연구에서 구상한 일체형 팬 앤 패드 시스템과 에어 덕트를 이용한 온실 냉방시스템은 기존의 팬 앤 패드 냉방 온실의 최대 단점인 온도 편차를 40~50% 정도 개선할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 시스템은 자연환기 상태에서 가동할 수 있으므로 단동 온실에 적용하기가 쉬우며, 일체형 증발냉각기 출구로부터 온실 내 에어 덕트 시점까지의 연결 덕트 부분을 철저하게 단열하면 냉방성능을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Control algorithms for the absorption air conditioning system may be developed by suing dynamic models of the system. The simplified effective dynamic models, which can predict the dynamic behaviors of the system, may help the development of effective control algorithms for the system. In this study, a dynamic simulation program for the absorption air conditioning system was developed. Dynamic models for an absorption chiller, a cooling tower, an air handling unit, a boiler, a three way valve, a controller, and a duct were developed and programed. Control algorithms for the absorption chiller, the cooling tower, and the air handling unit were selected, and analyzed to show the effectiveness of dynamic models. From the simulation results, it may be concluded that this simulation program may be effectively used for the development of optimal control algorithms of the absorption air conditioning system.
