With increment on interesting about improving renewable energy efficiency, many research have been conducted and the research about hybrid air-water heater using solar energy that can make heating air and hot water has been conducted also. In this experiment, the temperature difference and thermal efficiency were investigated when two heating medium(air and liquid) was working simultaneously. As a result, thermal efficiency showed 44% to 88% when these heating medium was working simultaneously depending on operation condition and it is better than traditional solar collector. Also possibility of application into building equipment also was confirmed based on temperature and thermal efficiency. But necessity of additional studies about proper operation condition according to purpose of use and heat load was confirmed because change of thermal efficiency by air velocity and flux of liquid was shown a huge difference.

In this study, the steady state performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater was measured with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, compressor frequency, EEV opening, and water mass flow rate. Transient state performance tests were also conducted to investigate major system effects associated with the interaction between the $CO_2$ heat pump water heater and the water tank. Optimum refrigerant charge amount for the system was 1600 g. At compressor frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz, water mass flow rates of 95 kg/h and 105 kg/h, and EEV opening of 8% and 16%, the water heating temperatures were $65^{\circ}C$ and $68^{\circ}C$ and COPs were 3.0 and 2.8, respectively. In the transient condition, the instantaneous COP decreased with an increase in the inlet water temperature.

In a cold chain, the refrigerator is also employed for defrosting, by using an electric heater, which consumes 15% of the power for the system operation. In this study, the condensation heat of the refrigerant was suggested as the heat source of defrosting heat, instead of that from an electric defrost heater. The heat for defrosting was stored to a phase change material (PCM, NMP : $52^{\circ}C$) in thermal storage, and was periodically supplied to the evaporator by a circulation loop of brine. As a result, a defrost time by the PCM was obtained that was less than or equal to that by the electric heater. Moreover, power consumption during defrosting was saved by up to 99% of that of the electric heater.

Heat pump systems have been widely adopted in buildings for cooling and heating, due to their higher energy efficiency. Recently, the demand for hot water supply from the heat pump system has been increasing. To increase the water supply temperature with higher system efficiency and reliability, a heat pump water heater adopting cascade cycle was investigated in this study. The cascade heat pump water heater consisted of a low-stage cycle using R410A, and a high-stage cycle using R134a. A simulation program for the cascade heat pump water heater was developed, and verified by comparison with experimental data. The performance of the cascade heat pump water heater was optimized, by varying the compressor rotating speeds of the low- and high-stage cycles. At low ambient temperatures, the performance of the cascade cycle was compared with that of the single-stage cycle. The system efficiency of the cascade cycle was higher than that of the single-stage cycle, showing a lower compression ratio and compressor discharge temperature.

An experimental study was performed to investigate adiabatic wall temperature and heat transfer coefficient around on a module with longitudinal fin heat sink cooled by forced air flow. In the first method, inlet air flow(1-7m/s) and input power(3-5W) was varied after a heated module were placed on an adiabatic floor($320{\times}550{\times}1mm^{3}$). An adiabatic wall temperature was determinated to use liquid crystal film(LCF). In the second method to determinate heat transfer coefficient, inlet air flow(1-7m/s) and the heat flux of rubber heater($0.031-0.062\;W/cm^{2}$) was varied after an adiabatic module was placed on rubber heater covering up an adiabatic floor. In addition, surface oil-film visualization were performed to characterize the macroscopic flow-field around a module.

액체렘제트 엔진에서는 고온·고속의 공기가 공기흡입구로 유입되기 때문에 고성능 램제트 연소기의 설계를 위하여 실제 비행조건을 모사할 수 있는 고온 고속의 공기 발샐장치가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수소연소에 의해 Vitiated Air를 발생시키도록 설계된 Vitiated Air Heater(VAH)를 제작하였으며, VAH의 성능평가를 통하여 80∼120m/s 와 400∼800K 범위에서 손쉽게 속도와 온도의 조절이 가능하고 균일한 속도 및 온도분포로 대기공기와 같은 Vitiated Air를 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 VAH을 연결하여 Dump형 연소기의 특성을 실험하였다. 액체 램제트 엔진에 있어서 공기흡입구가 하나인 Dump형 연소기에 주요변수로서 흡입공기의 온도와 공연비를 변화시키면서 연소기내의 화염형상을 관찰하고, 온도분포를 계측하였으며 Injection 위치에 따른 화염현상을 관찰하였다. 각 경우의 연소효율을 계산하여 실험범위에서의 최적 연소조건을 제시하였다.

Numerical analysis of 150kW Huels-type arc jet was performed using compressible Navier-Stokes CFD code. To consider chemical reaction by high temperature, the flow was assumed to be chemical equilibrium states. As a turbulence and a radiation model, the two-equation k-epsilon model and the 3-band radiation model were adopted, respectively. Mass flow rate and current density were given as conditions for calculations. In this study, two kinds of mechanisms for injection of air flow wire considered. One is that air is provided by left wall surface and the other is that air is injected from upper wall surface. The pressure, density and temperature contours of two cases were compared and heat transfer rates were estimated. The numerical results of two cases were not much different to each other. However, in real 150KW device, air is injected from upper wall surface with swirl. To calculate more accurately, swirl effect is must be considered.

The thermoacoustic oscillation induced in an air column with variable cross section area is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The onset condition of the oscillation is derived by equating the acoustic power production to the power dissipation. The power production at the heater is predicted by using the efficiency factor obtained by heat transfer analysis for a single wire in a uniform cross flow and considering the interference between heater wires. The power dissipation is estimated by measuring the attenuating coefficient from the pressure decay curve. The theoretical prediction to the onset condition of the oscillation is confirmed experimentally. The effect of the variation of the column cross section area on the onset condition is presented.

The existing computer code to solve the air flow in a segmented constrictor-type arc-heated wind tunnel named ARCFLO4 is improved to accept an air-argon mixture as the working gas and to consider the separated injection of air and argon. The new version of the code is used to calculate the flows in the Aerodynamic Heating Facility of NASA Ames Research Center where argon concentration is relatively high. The calculation shows that argon tends to increase the diameter of the arc-column, increase ionization fraction, decrease thermal efficiency of the arc-heater, and push the ratio of the centerline-to-average enthalpy toward unity. The calculated operating characteristics of the arc-heater agree well with the experimental data.

For mist sensing, temperature-humidity sensor is attached on six positions of front glass and rearview mirror in automobile. Bottom-left side of front glass is the best position where mist is sensing. For mist removal, air conditioner is turned on intensity 1, 3 and is set the temperature at 17[$^{\circ}C$], 25[$^{\circ}C$]. And heater is turned on intensity 1, 3 and is set the temperature at 25[$^{\circ}C$], 32[$^{\circ}C$]. The best condition which mist is removed is temperature at 17[$^{\circ}C$] and intensity 3 of air conditioner mode. At this condition, total average value of humidity output voltage difference is 0.561[V]. Also, air conditioner mode is effective than heater mode for mist sensing and removal.
