  • Copper zinc tin sulfide ($Cu_2ZnSnS_4$, CZTS) is a very promising material as a low cost absorber alternative to other chalcopyrite-type semiconductors based on Ga or In because of the abundant and economical elements. In addition, CZTS has a band-gap energy of 1.4~1.5eV and large absorption coefficient over ${\sim}10^4cm^{-1}$, which is similar to those of $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$(CIGS) regarded as one of the most successful absorber materials for high efficient solar cell. Most previous works on the fabrication of CZTS thin films were based on the vacuum deposition such as thermal evaporation and RF magnetron sputtering. Although the vacuum deposition has been widely adopted, it is quite expensive and complicated. In this regard, the solution processes such as sol-gel method, nanocrystal dispersion and hybrid slurry method have been developed for easy and cost-effective fabrication of CZTS film. Among these methods, the hybrid slurry method is favorable to make high crystalline and dense absorber layer. However, this method has the demerit using the toxic and explosive hydrazine solvent, which has severe limitation for common use. With these considerations, it is highly desirable to develop a robust, easily scalable and relatively safe solution-based process for the fabrication of a high quality CZTS absorber layer. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of a high quality CZTS absorber layer with a thickness of 1.5~2.0 ${\mu}m$ and micrometer-scaled grains using two different non-vacuum approaches. The first solution-processing approach includes air-stable non-toxic solvent-based inks in which the commercially available precursor nanoparticles are dispersed in ethanol. Our readily achievable air-stable precursor ink, without the involvement of complex particle synthesis, high toxic solvents, or organic additives, facilitates a convenient method to fabricate a high quality CZTS absorber layer with uniform surface composition and across the film depth when annealed at $530^{\circ}C$. The conversion efficiency and fill factor for the non-toxic ink based solar cells are 5.14% and 52.8%, respectively. The other method is based on the nanocrystal dispersions that are a key ingredient in the deposition of thermally annealed absorber layers. We report a facile synthetic method to produce phase-pure CZTS nanocrystals capped with less toxic and more easily removable ligands. The resulting CZTS nanoparticle dispersion enables us to fabricate uniform, crack-free absorber layer onto Mo-coated soda-lime glass at $500^{\circ}C$, which exhibits a robust and reproducible photovoltaic response. Our simple and less-toxic approach for the fabrication of CZTS layer, reported here, will be the first step in realizing the low-cost solution-processed CZTS solar cell with high efficiency.

  • The aim of this study was to analyze the thermal performance through Test-Cell of TI-wall in domestic climate. This study was carried out as follows: 1) The TI-wall was studied for ability to reduce heat loss through the building envelope and analyzed to TIM properties. 2) Test models of TI-wall were designed through the investigation of previous paper and work, measured for winter and spring, and the thermal effects were analyzed. The type of the TIM used in test model is small-celled(diameter 4mm and thickness 50mm) capillary and cement brick(density $1500kg/m^3$) was used by thermal mass. 3) Test-cell of TI-wall was calibrated from measured data and the dynamic simulation program ESP-r 9.0. In these simulations, the measured climate conditions of TaeJon were used as outdoor conditions, and the simulation model of Test-cell was developed. 4) The sensitivity analysis is executed in various aspects with standard weather files and ESP-r 9.0, and then most suitable system of TI-wall are predicted. Finally, The suitable system of TI-wall was analysed according to sizes of air gap, kinds, thickness, and the surface absorption of therm wall. The result is following. In TI-wall, Concrete is better than cement brick, at that time the surface absorption is 95%, and the most efficient thickness is 250mm. As smaller of a air gap, as reducer of convection heat loss, it is efficient for heating energy. However, ensuring of a air gap at least more than 50mm is desirable for natural ventilation in Summer.

  • This study is about heat island as one of the urban climate variation factors in urbanized modern society, which compared and observed the thermal characteristics both the downtown location and the outskirt site in summer. The diurnal air temperature range at each point is $12.6^{\circ}C$ in the downtown location and $14.3^{\circ}C$ in the outskirt site, so, it was found that the diurnal air temperature range in the outskirt site was $1.7^{\circ}C$ higher than in the downtown location. There was 20 minutes difference to reach the highest temperature between globe temperature and air temperature in the downtown location, however, the time spent to reach the highest temperature between globe temperature and air temperature in the outskirt site was the same. When we compared the globe temperature between the downtown location and outskirt site, we found that the temperature in the outskirt site was lower than in the downtown location after sunset due to the sudden temperature drops, although the exposed time to insolation in the outskirt site is longer. The average of globe temperature difference on the sample days was $1.1^{\circ}C$, the average of surface temperature difference on the sample days was $1.0^{\circ}C$, and the average of air temperature difference on the sample days was $2.0^{\circ}C$ Thus, it was found that the average of air temperature difference was higher than the average of globe temperature and the average of surface temperature. The result of this study is that the urban environment factors have more effect on the air temperature difference than globe temperature and surface temperature.

  • 지상 정적 상태에 있는 항공기내 연료온도의 변화가 유한차분식에 의하여 해석되었다. 수정 Dufort-Frankel 기법의 explicit 방법에 의해 수치계산이 수행되었다. 항공기는 지상 정적상태에서 1% hot day 대기조건에 따른 태양의 복사 및 바람의 속도와 함께 반복되는 일일주기의 공기온도에 노출되어 있다고 가정되었다. 항공기는 난류유동장내에 있는 것으로 가정되었다. 항공기 표면과 외부대기사이의 열전달을 계산하기 위하여 Eckert에 의해 제안된 평판위의 난류 열전달계수가 사용되었다. 본 해석에 사용된 지배방정식은 연료에 대한 에너지방정식이다. 본 해석으로부터, 주익탱크의 연료온도가 다른 탱크들 가운데 가장 높게 나타났으며 온도변화율 또한 가장 크게 나타났다. 본 온도해석에 대한 결과는 여러 비행임무에 있어서 항공기내의 연료온도 변화 해석을 위한 초기치로서 사용될 수 있다. 또한, 본 해석방법은 항공기 열에너지 관리시스템의 해석 및 설계에 사용될 수 있다.

  • 본 연구는 태양일사에 의하여 가열되는 온실상단에 고온의 태양잉여열을 축열조에 축열한 후 이를 이용하여 온실을 난방하는 히트펌프시스템의 실증연구에 관한 것으로 히트펌프시스템은 축열조를 구비하고, 각종 열교환을 위한 판형열교환기, 팬코일유닛 그리고 부가적인 에너지원으로 태양일사를 직접 집열할 수 있는 태양집열기로 구성되어 있다. 히트펌프시스템은 R410a냉매를 사용하며 일반적인 히트펌프시스템과 마찬가지로 외기열원만으로도 운전될 수 있으며, 온실내부의 설정온도에 따른 제어로직에 따라 외부조작없이 온실상단열의 축열운전, 외기공기에 의한 외기열원 및 축열조의 온수를 히트펌프의 작동 없이 난방하는 다수의 운전방식이 자동적으로 운전되도록 하였다. 개발된 축열식 히트펌프의 현장평가 성능실험을 위하여 제주시 조천리에 있는 $100m^2$ 크기의 온실에 설치하고 10월부터 12월까지 운전하였다. 실증연구 실험을 수행한 결과로써 외기열원을 이용하여 난방 할 경우 난방열량은 19.9 kW의 용량을 얻을 수 있었으며, 온실상단의 잉여열에 의하여 축열조의 온수로 히트펌프운전 없이 직접 난방 할 경우에 난방열량은 21.4 kW로 외기난방과 비슷한 난방용량을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 수직원통형 빙축열조 내에 상변화물질로서 순수한 물을 $-10^{\circ}C$의 초기 과냉온도로 응고시킨 후, 작동유체의 입구온도를 $7^{\circ}C,\;4^{\circ}C,\;1^{\circ}C$로, 작동유체의 유입방향을 상향과 하향으로 각각 변화시키면서 외향용융시켰을 경우, 시간경과에 따른 축열매질의 온도분포, 상경계면의 형상, 용융율, 용융에너지를 실험적으로 구하여 이를 비교 검토한 것이다. 작동유체의 입구온도가 $7^{\circ}C,\;4^{\circ}C$의 경우에는 작동유체의 유입방향이 상 하향 모두 물의 최대 밀도점인 $4^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 일시적으로 온도가 상승하지 않고 일정 시간동안 정체하는 온도정체구간이 나타났다. 또한, 용융이 진행됨에 따라 물이 축열조의 하부에 적체되고, 이에 따라 하부에서의 용융이 활발히 진행됨으로써 상경계면 형상은 전체적으로 종모양 형태의 곡선을 나타낸다. 작동 유체의 입구온도가 $7^{\circ}C$인 경우, 용융율(Vl/Vtot)과 용융에너지는 작동유체의 유입방향이 상향인 경우가 하향인 경우에서보다 크게 나타난 반면, 작동유체의 입구온도가 $4^{\circ}C,\;1^{\circ}C$인 경우는 $7^{\circ}C$의 경우와는 달리 하향인 경우가 상향인 경우에서보다 큰 것으로 나타났다.

  • 본 연구에서는 한 단역벽에 한개의 등온사각빔이 부착된 2차원 수평과 수직단열채널에서의 열 에너지 이송에 대하여 수치해석적으로 연구하였다. 빔의 형상비는 H/B=$0.25{sim}4$, Reynolds수는 Re=$50{\sim}500$ 그리고 Grashof수는 Gr=$0{\sim}5{\times}10^4$범위에서 해를 구하였다. Re=100인 경우 수평과 수직채널에서 빔의 평균 Nusselt수는 Gr=0에서는 같은 값을 나타내며, Grashof수가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 형상비가 증가할수록 감소하였다. Gr=$10^4$, Re=100인 경우 수평과 수직채널에서 빔의 평균 Nusselt수는 수직채널이 수평채널에 비하여 $0.25{\leq}H/B<1.1$에서는 높게, $1.1{\leq}H/B{\leq}4.0$에서는 낮게 나타났다. Re=100, $0<Gr{\leq}5{\times}10^4$인 경우 수평과 수직채널에서 빔의 평균 Nusselt수 분포는 수직채널이 수평채널에 비하여 H/B=0.25에서는 높고 H/B=4.0에서는 낮으며 H/B=1.0에서는 다소 높게 나타났다. 실험으로 얻은 간섭사진의 등온선과 수치계산으로 구한 등온선이 비교적 잘 일치하여 수치해석의 타당성을 입증하였다.

  • We have investigated the structural and optical properties of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at various deposition temperatures from 100 to $500^{\circ}C$. All the GZO thin films are grown as a hexagonal wurtzite phase with highly c-axis preferred parameter. The structural and electrical properties are strongly related to deposition temperature. The grain size increases with the increasing deposition temperature up to $400^{\circ}C$ and then decreases at $500^{\circ}C$. The dependence of grain size on the deposition temperature results from the variation of thermal activation energy. The resistivity of GZO thin film decreases with the increasing deposition temperature up to $300^{\circ}C$ and then decreases up to $500^{\circ}C$. GZO thin film shows the lowest resistivity of $4.3{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$ and highest electron concentration of $1.0{\times}10^{21}\;cm^{-3}$ at $300^{\circ}C$. The mobility of GZO thin films increases with the increasing deposition temperature up to $400^{\circ}C$ and then decreases at $500^{\circ}C$. GZO thin film shows the highest resistivity of 14.1 $cm^2/Vs$. The transmittance of GZO thin films in the visible range is above 87% at all the deposition temperatures. GZO is a feasible transparent electrode for the application to the transparent electrode of thin film solar cells.

  • This study was conducted in the process that the basic plan of the formation of the thermal energy complex in the Iwon reclaimed land of Taean was being made. Targeting for the large-sized greenhouse to be made in this area, it examined the cooling and heating load and the amount of ventilation, and also analyzed the economic efficiency of heating. The research results are as per the below: The minimum ambient temperature of this area was measured on January 7, 2001, which was $-18.7^{\circ}C$, and the maximum ambient temperature of this area was measured on July 24, 1994, which was $36.7^{\circ}C$. The maximum heating load was 39,011 MJ/h, but the date when the maximum heating load was not consistent with the date when the minimum temperature was measured. The maximum cooling load was 88,562MJ/h, It was approximately 2.3 times of the maximum heating load, which was measured at 14:00 hours on September 4, 2000. The maximum amount of ventilation heat was 138,639MJ/h. Assuming the rate of solar heat use as 10%, 20%, 50%, and 100%, the total sum of cost-benefit would be ₩-193,450,000, ₩-634,930,000, ₩-3,372,960,000, and ₩-9,850,420,000, respectively 20 years later. The break-even point of the geothermal heat pump would be about 4 years for 10% use, about 3 years for 20% or 50% use, and approximately 6 years for 100% use. It was found that 50% use would be most advantageous. In case two systems are combined, the break-even point will be 10 years, 8 years, and 11 years respectively.
