최근 각종 질병과 사고로 평형감각에 이상이 있는 환자가 증가하고 있다. 이들의 빠른 사회로의 환원을 위해서는 평형감각을 회복시킬 수 있는 효율적인 재활훈련이 필요하다. 하지만 기존 장비들은 근력을 길러주거나 특정감각기관만을 훈련시켜주는 정도의 재활만이 가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가상현실기술과 자전거를 이용하여 평형감각 실조환자의 진단 및 시각, 전정감각, 체성감각 등을 효율적으로 진단하고 자극, 훈련시킬 수 있는 bike simulator system을 개발하였다. 그리고 본 시스템이 재활훈련에 유용한지 실험 검토하였다. 실험결과 본 시스템을 통한 반복실험결과 COP의 값을 통하여 평형감각의 정량적 측정, 분석이 가능하였고, 훈련시 COP를 실시간으로 visual feedback함으로서 평형감각의 조절과 balance의 유지기능이 향상함을 확인하였고 본 시스템이 통합평형감각 측정 및 훈련용 재활장비로 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

A bench type ammonia-water absorber heat exchange cycle was tested by varying the system charging concentration, refrigerating valve opening and weak solution flow rate. It was observed that the cooling capacity was increased as the system charging concentration was increased. Optimum system charging concentration was found for the coolong capacity of the system. The opening rate of refrigerant expansion valve had a direct influence on the refrigerant sub-cooling at the condenser outlet. Optimum sub-cooling was found to be 0~4$^{\circ}C$. As the weak solution flow rate increased the concentration of strong solution and the evaporating pressure decreased. There existed a optimum weak solution flow rate which maximized the cooling capacity and COP.

우리나라 에너지소비의 25%이상을 차지하는 건물냉난방부문의 에너지절약을 위해 에너지효율이 높은 것으로 나타난 지열냉난방시스템의 보급이 필요하다. 이에 지열냉난방시스템 실증연구를 통해 사무용건물에 지열냉난방시스템을 설계 및 적용하고 냉난방운전을 실시하였다. 실증연구 결과 지열냉난방시스템은 우리나라의 기후 및 지질조건에 매우 적합하며 냉방운전의 경우 COP가 평균 4.23$\sim$5.49, 난방운전의 경우 COP가 평균 3.32$\sim$4.44를 나타내었다. 실증연구를 통해 사무용건물의 지열냉난방시스템의 설계 및 시공능력을 확보함에 따라 향후 보급에 기여하고자 한다.

The ambient air is commonly used as low-temperature heat sources for heat pump operation. However, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the air -water heat pump is decreased with the ambient air temperature drop. In this study to solve this problem , the AVACTHE(Automatic Variable Area Capillary Type Heat Exchanger) with 3 levels of heat exchange area(0, 1495.4, 1794.5$\textrm{cm}^2$) was installed in the refrigerant circuit of the heat pump. The AVACTHE effect on the performance of heat pump was tested with the ambient air temperature variation. The high level COP of the heat pump could be achieved by the AVACTHE installation when below -5$^{\circ}C$ of the ambient air temperature.

The foot plays an important role in supporting the body and keeping body balance. An abnormal walking habit breaks the balance of the human body as well as the function of the foot. The foot orthotics which is designed to consider biomechanics effectively distributes the load of the human body on the sole of the foot. In this paper, gait analysis was performed for three male subjects wearing the orthotics. In this study, three male subjects were selected. The experimental apparatus consists of a plantar pressure analysis system and digital EMG system. The gait characteristics are simulated by ADAMS/LifeMOD. The COP (Center of Pressure), EMG and ground reaction force were investigated. As a result of gait analysis, the path of COP was improved and muscle activities were decreased with orthotics on the abnormal walking subjects.

교토의정서 제17조에 규정된 국제 온실가스 배출권거래제(IET)는 온실가스 감축의무가 있는 국가에 배출쿼터를 부여한 후, 동 국가간에 배출쿼터의 거래를 허용하는 제도로서, 최소의 비용으로 감축목표를 달성할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 현재 IET의 디자인과 관련하여 논쟁이 되고 있는 주요 이슈는 거래참가자의 대상 및 자격조건, 거래책임, 거래의 한계설정과 자연발생 잉여배출권 (Hot Air)의 인정여부 등이며 미국, 일본 중심의 JUSSCANZ그룹과 EC/동구권 국가들간에 이견을 보이고 있다. 향후 COP5와 COP6의 협상결과에 따라 IET의 모습도 달라질 것으로 전망되며, 경우에 따라서는 우리 나라가 감축의무를 부담할 시는 물론이고 그 이전이라도 IET를 활용하여 기업의 이윤을 제고시킬 수도 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이에 따라 IET에 대한 국가차원의 장기적인 전략수립이 필요하며 이를 위해서는 첫째, 교토메카니즘과 관련된 협상과정에서의 전략적 대웅이 필요하며, 둘째, IET 관련 해외정보의 신속한 수집, 전파 및 기업홍보를 통한 효율적 활용, 마지막으로는 시범적인 국내 온실가스 배출권거래제 도입 검토 및 기반구축이 필요하다.

Analytical study on the thermodynamical cyclic behabiour and characteristics of HFC-l34a refrigerant for automotive air conditionser system for the replacement of existing CFC-12 has been carried out in this paper through development of system performance simulation program, expecially in the view point of system design considerations. The results indicate that HFC-l34a system will give a greater refrigerating capacity than CFC-12 if appropriate engineering measures such as proper codensers, flow controllers, etc., taken for certain operating conditions. The results, however, also show that the operating power for compression process increases over entire temperature range as a result of decreasing volumetric efficiency due to larger specific volume and increased discharging pressure. The present study results indicate that proper selection of condensing and evaporating temperature plus refrigerant control is very important performance factor to have better COP in the HFC-134a system design.

Performance analysis of the automotive air-conditioning system is conducted by using computer simulation, and performance tests are carried out by using the climate wind tunnel in order to verify simulation. Evaporator and condenser were modeled by using empirical correlation which was obtained from calorimeter data, and compressor was modeled by using map based method. The steady state thermodynamic conditions of refrigerant satisfying mass and energy balance were assumed in the simulation program for automotive airconditioning system. The system performance was analyzed by finite difference method until differential air enthalpy between evaporator inlet and outlet becomes converged. Simulation results are in good agreement with experimental results at most operating conditions. Variation of discharge temperature and pressure of compressor, outlet temperature of evaporator, cooling capacity, and COP were investigated in term of air volume flow rate for evaporator, compressor capacity, compressor speed, superheat of thermostatic expansion valve, and diameter of suction line.

Performance of a VM heat pump is considerably affected by various losses, such as enthalpy dump, reheat loss, pumping loss, conduction loss and shuttle loss. A second-order analysis model of VM heat pumps, which allows consideration of the major losses, was presented. Actual heat transfer rates for heat exchangers were calculated from the heat transfer rates obtained by the adiabatic analysis and various losses. New effective temperatures of heat exchangers were calculated from the actual heat transfer rates and the mean heat transfer coefficients until there was no appreciable change in the effective temperatures. Effects of design parameters, such as phase angle, swept volume ratio, regenerator length and speed on heating capacity, cooling capacity and COP were shown.

A cryogenic stirling cooler is currently under development at Korea Institute of Industrial Technology(KITECH). Cryocooler has many kinds of types. The stirling cooler is the most appropriate one for under 80K with the trait of long life cycle and small size. The stirling cooler uses helium as a working fluid. Helium is pressurized by the linear compressor which is driver by linear motor. In this paper, the change of pressure and volume is studied by the isothermal analysis method. It is necessary to investigate the optimized pressure to meets the highest COP. The compressor's piston and expender's displacer interact according to the working fluid's pressure level and the phase difference. This paper presents the relation between the initial pressure and the work of cryocooler. By that results, we can predict the performance of linear compressor.
