A heat exchanger analysis is performed to investigate the heating characteristics of cryogenic nitrogen by ambient air for the purpose of cryogenic automotive propulsion. The heat exchanger is a concentric triple-passage for supercritical nitrogen, and the radial fins are attached on the outermost tube for the crossflow of ambient air. The temperature distribution is calculated for the nitrogen along the passage, including the real gas properties of nitrogen, the fluid convections and the conductions through the tube walls and the fins. Since the wall temperature of the outer (ambient side) tube is very low in most cases, a heavy frost can be formed on the surface, affecting the heat exchange performance. By the method of the similarity between the heat and the mass transfer of moist air, the frost growth and the time-dependent effectiveness of the heat exchanger are calculated for various operating conditions. It is concluded that the frost formation can augment the heating of nitrogen during the initial period because of the latent heat, then gradually degrades the heat exchange because of the increased thermal resistance. Practical design issues are discussed for the flow rate of nitrogen, the velocity and humidity of ambient air, and the sizes of the fin.

Korea and some other countries located in the northern hemisphere employ the air conditioner for the space cooling in the hot summer season and also some kinds of heaters for the space heating in the cold winter season. Especially in Korea, a great number of air conditioners of about 12,700,000 sets have been used these days. However, they are used for a short operation period of only 58 days a year, which results in the material and economic losses. To solve this problem and employ this system for the emergency shelter, a new conversion unit which could convert the existing air conditioner to a heat pump system for simultaneous heating and cooling was developed in this study, and the thermal performance was tested. The results indicated that the indoor air could be heated from $27^{\circ}C$ to $39^{\circ}C$ by the air conditioner converted to a heat pump system with the ambient temperature variation of $-10^{\circ}C{\sim}10^{\circ}C$, and cooled from $20^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$ by the converted system with the ambient temperature variation of $20^{\circ}C{\sim}35^{\circ}C$. And also the heating COP increased from 3.3 to 5.3 in case of the heat exchange of the super cooling(HESC) circuit and from 3.0 to 4.0 in case of the By-pass with the ambient temperature variation of $-10^{\circ}C{\sim}10^{\circ}C$, respectively, whereas the cooling COP decreased from 3.1 to 2.1with the increase of the ambient temperature from $20^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$.

대수층에 존재하는 휘발성 오염물질을 제거하는 새로운 공법으로서 Surfactant-enhanced air sparging(SEAS)은 지하수의 표면장력을 감소함으로써 지하수 폭기효율의 증대를 도모한다. 그러나 SEAS기술도 기본적으로 오염물질의 휘발에 의한 물질이동에 의존함으로써 휘발성이 낮은 오염물질의 제거에는 매우 제한적이다. 본 연구는 승온된 조건에서 SEAS기술을 준휘발성 물질인 n-decane에 대하여 적용함으로써 SEAS기술의 확장여부를 시험하였다. 지하수 폭기실험은 내경 5 cm, 길이 80 cm의 1차원 토양(모래)컬럼을 사용하여 실시하였다. 실험은 총 3회 실시하였으며, 상온에서 증류수로 포화된 조건에서 1회, 상온($23^{\circ}C$)에서 음이온계 계면활성제(sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, SDBS) 수용액으로 포화된 조건에서 1회(상온 SEAS), 그리고 승온상태($73^{\circ}C$)에서 SDBS수용액으로 포화된 조건에서 1회(승온 SEAS) 실시하였다. 계면활성제가 적용된 경우의 폭기에 의한 공기포화율(57%)은 증류수로 포화된 조건의 공기포화율(10%)보다 높게 측정되었다. 승온 및 상온조건에서의 공기포화율은 거의 차이가 없었으나 n-decane의 제거속도는 현저한 차이를 나타내었다. 토양유출 가스에 포함된 n-decane의 농도는 상온조건에 비하여 승온조건에서 10배 이상 높았으며, 따라서 제거속도도 10배 이상의 차이를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과에 따라 상온에서 휘발성이 낮으나 수 십도의 온도상승으로 증기압이 획기적으로 늘어날 수 있는 준휘발성 물질에 대하여 SEAS 기술이 효과적으로 응용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 정온도 열선식 공기유량계의 전체적인 회로를 구성한 다음, 여 기에 간단한 온도보상시스템을 첨가함으로써 유동온도의 변화에 관계없이 일정한 출력 이 나오도록 하고, 이에 관련된 온도보상시스템의 메카니즘을 규명하고자 한다. 온 도보상시스템은 여러 가지가 알려져 있으나, Drubka(1977)가 열선브릿지에 단지 온도 센서(thermistor)를 삽입하고, 과열비(overheat ratio), 열선의 냉저항과 작동 중의 저항차, 열선의 브릿지상단에서의 출력 중 한 가지를 일정하게 유지시켜 온도보상을 수행하는 방법을 제안하였다. Takagi(1985)는 위의 방법 중 과열비를 일정하게 유지 시키는 방법을 택하고, 출력으로 브릿지상단의 전압이 아닌 열선에 흐르는 전류를 감 지함으로써 더욱 더 간단한 온도보상시스템을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 바로 이 방법 을 채용하여 온도보상을 수행한다.

The Ondol system using both air-to-water heat pump and PCM(Phase Change Material) was constructed, and the effects of ambient air temperature on COP(Coefficient of Performance) of heat pump, the amount of heat supplied to the Ondol in the heating process, the heat storage in the PCM and the variation of Ondol room temperature were analyzed. The results from this study could be summarized as follows: 1. The COP of the heat pump (3 PS) was in proportion to the ambient air temperature. 2. When the ambient air temperature was varied between -10$^{\circ}C$ and -7$^{\circ}C$, the air temperature in the Ondol room was maintained between 16$^{\circ}C$ and 22$^{\circ}C$. As the results, it was certified that the heat pump-latent heat storage type Ondol system could be a comfortable residential heating system in the winter. 3. The maximum radiation and convection heat transfer from Ondol surface was 206.2 kJ/㎥hr and 82.6 kJ/㎥hr respectively. As the results, it could be confirmed that the radiation was major heat transfer mechanism for the Ondol room heating.

The experiment of thermal performance about cross flow type cooling tower was conducted in this study. Generally the ambient air condition can affect the thermal performance of cooling tower to improve or not. However it is hard to control the cooling water temperature that we want under bad air condition or during rainy season. In this paper, the effect of variables, which the ambient air have. especially wet-bulb temperature, are experimentally investigated for controlling the cooling water temperature more successfully. The result is that there is appropriate air flow rate in respective air condition to preserve the cooling performance in the cooling tower and the maximum air flow rate can't overcome the approach under bad air condition.

The purpose of this study is to perform modelings and experiments to measure air flow rate using hot-wires and a CTA(Constant Temperature Anemometer). The flow rate can be obtained by measuring the heat loss of the hot-wire due to the variations of flow velocity when the hot-wire is maintained at uniform temperature. But the defect of this method is that the output signal changes not only by the flow rate but also by the ambient temperature. Thus, in the present study, a method which compensates the variations of the ambient temperature has been introduced to measure exact flow rate. To be more specific, the bridge circuit of the usual hot-wire anemometer system has been modified in such a way that a temperature resistance sensor and a variable resistance are placed in one of the legs to compensate the different temperature coefficients of both the hot-wire and the temperature compensating resistance for flow velocity or for flow mass up to the flow temperature of 50 .deg.C. Comparing the modeling and experimental results, it has been shown that the compensating point differs as the flow rate varies. Therefore, optimum compensation points are sought to construct the circuit. The present modeling and experimental results may be applied to the design of actual air flow meters for automobiles.

Since liquefied natural gas (LNG) is imported in a liquid state of about -162℃ to increase transportation efficiency in Korea, it must be vaporized in a gaseous state to supply it to consumers. Among them, ambient air vaporizer (AAV) has caught attention due to eco-friendly and low costs characteristics. However, there is a disadvantage that the performance of the heat exchanger is deteriorated due to frost due to mist and icing when used for a long time. In this paper, frost generation model in AAV vaporizer was investigated with numerically to examine utilizing the vaporizer performance with the frost generation behavior. The frost generation behavior of AAV vaporizers was examined with humidity, fin characteristic, and temperature effects. As for the LNG discharge temperature, the 12 fin vaporizer showed the highest discharge temperature when the atmospheric temperature was 25℃, and the 8 fin vaporizer had the lowest LNG discharge temperature when the atmospheric temperature was 0℃. In the case of frost formation, in the case of the 12 fin vaporizer, it was formed the most at the atmospheric temperature of 25℃, and the least was formed in the vaporizer at the 0℃ condition of the atmospheric temperature of 8 fins.

Performance of the heat pump with attaching an air heat exchanger was investigated in the heating condition when the air heat exchanger was worked in the ambient air temperature of -5 to 11$\^{C}$ and air flow rate of 542 to 747 ㎡/h. Performance tests for heating condition were conducted in an experimental room equipped with heat pump. The performance tests were performed in a ambient temperature of -4 ∼ 11$\^{C}$, and room temperature of 4∼22$\^{C}$ respectively. Measured data(temperature, capacity of heat transfer and consumption of electronic power) were analyzed to the efficiency of HEEVA(Heat Exchanger fur the Evaporator), overall heat transfer coefficient and COP of heat pump. The results of inlet temperature for evaporator increased that the temperature was 2 ∼6$\^{C}$, and inlet temperature for condenser decreased that the temperature was 3 ∼ 8$\^{C}$. The results of comparing efficiency of HEEVA for the ratio of heat exchange between hot air and cold air showed that efficiency were considered to 91% because of the ratio of 83∼98%. The results of comparing of COP for the heat pump increased that improvement COP was approximately 0.3∼7.5 than HEEVA had not been operated.
