Interior space in most buildings is divided into several zones. The most important factors relating to the indoor air environment are temperature, airflow, humidity, and contaminant concentration. An integrated multizone model to predict these environmental factors simultaneously was developed. Also, a computer program for this model was written by the language of VISUAL BASIC. The proposed model was applied to a apartment with five rooms that had been tested by Chung. Comparison of predicted results by this study with measured results by Chung showed that their variations were within 14% for airflow rates, 1% for temperatures, 12% for humidities, and 5% for concentrations. It was seen that the opening operation schedule of building has a significant effect on the air moisture md contaminant removal. Thus, this model may be available for predicting the indoor air environment and may be contributed to design the ventilation plan for controling of indoor air quality.

Computer simulation was conducted to study performance characteristics of air-cooled condenser of a double effect absorption heat pump with variations of saturation pressures and mass flow rates of the refrigerant ; volume flow rates, relative humidities and temperatures of the air The vertically installed condenser had the staggered tube array with continuous plate fins of wavy type. When the saturation pressure of the condenser was decreased from 760 torr to 20 torr, heat transfer rates and condensing rates of refrigerant were decreased. If excess refrigerant flows in the condenser, the pressure and saturation temperature of the condenser were increased which makes the refrigerating capacity of an absorption heat pump reduced.

In this paper, we compared the thermal environment in the livingroom with panel heating system of Korea and Japan. The houses are two apartments and two single houses in Korea, and two apartments in Japan. The outdoor temperatures, indoor air temperatures, surface temperatures on floor and humidities were measured. The survey to the residents and recording of operation were also collected. The results were as follows.1. The Korean houses are warmer and drier(approximately 23$^{\circ}$C, 38%) than those of Japan.(approximately 20$^{\circ}$C, 57%). And indoor temperaures of Korean apartment are stabie. 2.The residents in Japan put on and off the switches of the heating system frequently.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between water absorption (or hygroscopic property) and growth rate of rubra oak (Quercus rubra) from 5 different origins of seed (Carleton, Simcoe, Chatham, Bancroft, Unknown). Water absorption at cross section of Quercus rubra was $0.43{\sim}0.92g/cm^2$ and the property was not related with growth rate. Overall equilibrium moisture content of rubra oak were 11.35~11.56% and 15.15~15.83% at $40^{\circ}C$ with 75% and 90% relative humidities, respectively. There was no relationship between growth rate and moisture content(hygroscopy) in rubra oak. Based on the results, Rubra oak can be classified as a low hygroscopic wood grade, and thus might be a good raw material for furniture productions owing to its superior dimensional stability.

Removal of water contents in a gas is needed in industrial field of gas processing related on energy production/conversion, and environmental treatment. Inertial separators are economic devices for separating droplets from the gas stream. For accurate understanding of removal process in a curved vane mist eliminator, a numerical model including turbulent dispersion, evaporation and condensation of water vapor at surface of droplets is required. A two-stage curved vane mist eliminator has been modeled, and fluid flow of mixture of air and water vapor and droplet trajectories were solved simultaneously with taking into account two-way coupling. Removal efficiency of droplets with various inlet condition of relative humidities (RH, 40%, 90%, and 100%) were compared. As RH increased, the effect of evaporation decreased and inertial separation efficiencies of droplets obtained increased especially for droplets of diameter below 10 micrometers.

Generally, two different techniques have been employed for the precipitation of membranes from a polymer casting solution. In the first method, a precipitant is introduced from a vapor phase. In this case the precipitaion rate is very slow and a more or less symmetric structure is formed. In the second method, a precipitant is added to a casting solution by immersing the cast polymer film in a nonsolvent bath. In this case the precipitation rate is very fast and a skinned asymmetric membrane structure is obtained. In this study, we introduced water-vapor to PSf/NMP solution and took photographs of phase separation phenomena of polymer lean phase.

Odor sources of a chemical plant in Ulsan were surveyed and temperatures, humidities and flow rates of each exhaust gas were measured. The air samples collected from each source were transferred to the laboratory for sensory test and their odor concentrations were investigated. The odor emission rate of each source was estimated from the recorded results and assigned the sources expected to be needed for the odor prevention policy using the simple prediction equation of the affection by malodor to the nearest residential area. From the total odor emission rate of the examined plant and the relation table for expectable affection area it was concluded that total odor emission of this plant might be decreased for the prevention of residential complaint.

We studied the relationship between a civil affair occurrence of bad smell and meteorological conditions around Seongseo district for recent 2 years. The results were as follows; (1) The civil affair occurrence days of bad smell were concentrated from May to August. (2) Daily mean temperatures were mostly 20∼28$^{\circ}C$ and daily mean relative humidities were 60∼80%. (3) Wind speeds were mostly less than 2㎧(75%), and wind directions were southerly winds(50%). It was hardly occurred for relatively well-ventilated conditions in cases of wind speeds 2㎧ over. And the Lagrangian particle dispersion model were used to figure out the transport route in a civil affair occurrence days of bad smell. It was found that the south-western winds transported the bad smelling materials from Jungni-dong(the place of source) to the housing complex located along a piedmont district.

We have prepared new polyelectrolytes containing trialkoxysilyl groups by copolymerizing 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TSPM) with either [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethyl ammonium chloride (METAC), [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl propyl ammonium bromide (MEDPAB), or [2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethyl ammonium chloride (AETAC). The copolymers TSPM/METAC, TSPM/MEDPAB, and TSPM/METAC having compositions of 15/85, 10/90, and 5/95, respectively, were self-crosslinkable polyelectrolytes that possess humidity-sensitive properties. We measured the impedances of the copolymers at various relative humidities (RHs) and found that the resistance was dependent on the content of METAC, MEDPAB, or AETAC. The impedance changed from 10$\^$7/ $\Omega$ at 20% RH to 10$^3$ $\Omega$ at 95% RH, which is quite a suitable range for a humidity sensor that is to be utilized at ambient humidity. We also performed tests of the materials temperature dependence, hysteresis, response time, and water durability.

A study was designed to investigate the sorption characteristics of binary mixture of red ginseng powder and maltodextrin(DE-17) or lactose stored at various relative humidities ranging from 52% to 93%. At low relative humilities below RH 67%, the sorption equilibrium was easily achieved, whereas at higher relative humidity values over 75%, all of the mixtures tended to absorb moisture continuously with an increase in storage time. A linear equation of log(dw/dt): a log(t)+ log b was found to be valid between the sorption rate and storage time with respect to storage humilities. A linearity was also found between log(1-Aw) and the amount of water absorbed over the Aw range of 0.52∼0.93 and the slope was affected by the kind of sugar added with that of red ginseng powder and maltodextrin mixture being the smallest.
