Relative humidity, membrane conductivity and water activity are critical parameters of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) for high performance and reliability. These parameters are closely related with temperature. Moreover, the ideal values of these parameters are not always identical along the channels. Therefore, the cooling channel design and its operating condition should be well optimized along the all location of the channels. In the present study, we have performed a numerical investigation on the effects of cooling channels on performance of a PEMFC. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the energy equation including heat generated by the electrochemical reactions in the fuel cell. The present numerical model includes the gas diffusion layers (GDL) and serpentine channels for both anode and cathode gas flows, as well as cooling channels. To accurately predict the water transport across the membrane, the distribution of water content in the membrane is calculated by solving a nonlinear differential equation with a nonlinear coefficient, i.e., the water diffusivity which is a function of water content as well as temperature. Main emphasis is placed on the heat transfer between the solid bipolar plate and coolant flow. The present results show that local current density is affected by cooling channels due to the change of the oxygen concentration and the membrane conductivity as well as the water content. It is also found that the relative humidity is influenced by the generated water and the gas temperature and thus it affects the distribution of fuel concentration and the conductivity of the membrane, ultimately fuel cell performance. Unit-cell experiments are also carried out to validate the numerical models. The performance curves between the models and experiments show reasonable results.

Langmuir 등온흡착식(等溫吸着式)을 이용(利用)한 지연계수(遲延係數) 계산(計算)은 다소의 차이(差異)가 있었으나 적용가능성(適用可能性)이 있었다. 수분분포곡선(水分分布曲線)으로부터 산출(算出)된 물의 확산계수(擴散係數) $D({\theta})$는 초기수분함량(初期水分含量)에 관계(關係)없이 토양수분함량(土壤水分含量)과 단일지수함수관계(單一指數函數關係)로 표시(表示)되었다. $$log\;D({\theta})=13.448{\theta}-9.288$$ $Cl^-$의 수리동적분포계수(水理動的分布係數)는 수분함량(水分含量) 0.36 이상(以上)에서는 물의 확산계수(擴散係數)와 비슷하였고 그 이하(以下)에서는 급격히(急激)히 감소(減少)하여 수분함량(水分含量) 0.2부근에서 자기확산계수(自己擴散係數)와 비슷한 값을 보였다. $K^+$, $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ 및 $H_2PO^-_4$의 수리동적분산계수(水理動的分散係數)는 수분함량(水分含量) 0.38에서 각각(各各) $5.5{\times}10^{-6}$, $2.4{\times}10^{-6}$ 및 $7.1{\times}10^{-7}m^2/sec$의 값을 보였고 0.36% 이하(以下)의 수분함량(水分含量)에서 급격(急激)히 감소(減少)하였으며 감소(減少) 경향(傾向)은 $H_2PO^-_4$가 가장 심(甚)하였다.

수분이 복합재를 통하여 투과되는 정도를 고찰하기 위하여 $20^{\cire}C$, 90%RH의 온/습도를 유지하는 수조를 제작하였고, 이 수조내에 보관한 복합재 연소관의 실린더 벽면으로 투과되는 습기를 측정하기 위하여 연소관 내에 습도 센서를 투입하여 상대습도를 직접 측정하였다. 습기의 투과는 내부에 라이너/인슬레이션이 피복 되거나 또는 추진제가 충전된 경우 많은 감소효과를 보였다. Epoxy filament winding으로 제조된 순수 복합재 연소관의 경우 수조에 넣고 평형에 도달한 후로부터 약 8개월 간의 습기 투과 상태를 볼 때 벽면을 통하여 들어가는 water vapor flux는 $20^{\cire}C$, 90%RH에서 평균적으로 2.88${\times}$$10^{-9}$g/$\textrm{m}^2$sec로 나타났다. 이때 습기가 투과되는 연소관의 국지점을 평판으로 가정하고 Fick's law를 이용하여 구한 습기에 대한 복합재의 확산계수는 D=7.98${\times}$$10^{-7}$$\textrm{mm}^2$/sec 였다. 밀폐된 장치 내의 습도 변화를 직접 측정하는 본 시험 방법은 실린더 형태 및 밀폐된 용기를 이루는 곡면형 재료의 환경에 따른 습기 투과량 및 재료의 확산 계수 측정에 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

The degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to physical and chemical attacks has been a major issue in construction engineering. Deterioration of RC structures due to chloride attack followed by reinforcement corrosion is one of the serious problems. The objective of this study is to develop a form of mathematical model of chloride ingress into concrete. In order to overcome some limits of the previous approaches, a mathematical model of chloride ingress into concrete consisting of chloride solution intrusion through the capillary pore and chloride ion diffusion through the pore water was proposed. Moreover, the variability of diffusivity of chloride ion due to degree of hydration of concrete, relative humidity in pore, exposure condition, and variation of chloride binding was considered in the chloride ingress model.

양생 초기에 있어서 콘크리트의 투수계수는 콘크리트의 건조수축에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 콘크리트내의 물의 이동과 관련된 중요한 변수이다. 콘크리트의 특수성에 관한 연구는 주로 콘크리트의 건조수축이나, 동결융해에 대한 내구성 등과 연관되어 있다. 이들 대부분의 측정결과는 염소 이온등을 이용한 간접 측정방법이거나 충분히 양생된 안정한 콘크리트를 대상으로 하는 것이 대부분이므로 양생초기의 콘크리트의 투수계수에 관한 연구는 거의 없다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 싸이크로미터라는 수리에너지를 측정하는 쎈서를 이용하여 콘크리트의 투수계수의 측정을 시도하였다. 콘크리트의 투수계수와 확산계수를 측정하기 위한 세가지의 방법을 제시하였으며, 이를 적용하는 실험도 실시하였다. 또한 투수계수와 확산계수간의 변환을 위한 등온 흡수선을 개발, 적용하였다.

A mathematical modeling for the drying process of hygroscopic porous media, such as wood, has been developed in the past decades. The governing equations for wood drying consist of three conservation equations with respect to the three state variables, moisture content, temperature and air density. They are involving simultaneous, highly coupled heat and mass transfer phenomena. In recent, the equations were extended to account for material heterogeneity through the density of the wood and via the density variation of the material process, capillary pressure, absolute permeability, bound water diffusivity and effective thermal conductivity. In this paper, we investigate the drying behavior for the three primary variables of the drying process in terms of control volume finite element method to the heterogeneous transport model on one-dimensional grid.

Moisture evaporates, when concrete is exposed to fire, not only at concrete surface but also at inside the concrete to adjust the equilibrium and transfer properties of moisture. The equilibrium properties of moisture are described by means of water vapor sorption isotherms, which illustrate the hysteretical behavior of materials. In this paper, the prediction method of the moisture distribution inside the high strength concrete members under the high temperature is presented. Finite element method is employed to facilitate the moisture diffusion analysis for any position of member. And the moisture diffusivity model of high strength concrete by high temperature is proposed. To demonstrate the validity of this numerical procedure, the prediction by the proposed algorithm is compared with the test result of other researcher. The proposed algorithm shows a good agreement with the experimental results including the vaporization effect inside the concrete.

In order to investigate the optimal drying condition of white ginseng by using bulk air drier(130 x 62 x 65cm), drying curves, diffusion coefficient at various drying temperature, the energy of activation, variation of color intensity and chemical components during drying of white ginseng were studied. Fick's second low of diffusion for diffusion out of spheres was successfully applied to describe the drying of white ginseng. It was found that the diffusion coefficient of water was 2.2x107, 9.0x107 cm2/sec at drying temperature 4$0^{\circ}C$, 55$^{\circ}C$, respectively. An Arrhenius type temperature dependency of moisture diffusivity was found, the energy of activation being 18.8 Kcal/g mol. Color intensity of white ginseng dried at various drying temperature was increased with an increase in drying temperature. The contents of crude protein, reducing sugar and crude saponin during drying of white ginseng were gradually decreased as increasing of drying time. And with the sensory evaluation by multiple comparison difference analysis, the optimal drying temperature of white ginseng was between 45$^{\circ}C$ and 5$0^{\circ}C$.

Chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement is one of the main factors which cause the deterioration of concrete structures. Durability and service lives of the concrete sturctures should be predicted in order to minimize the risk of corrosion of reinforcement. The objective of this study is to suggest the basis of analytical methods of predicting the corrosion threhold time of concrete structures. Based on the chemistry and physics of chloride ion transport and corrosion process, chloride intrusion with various exposure conditions, variability of diffusivity and transport of pore water in concrete are taken into consideration in applying finite element formulation to the predicion of corrosion threhold time. The effects of main factors on the prediction of chloride intrusion and corrosion threhold time are examined. In addition, after chloride diffusivities of several mixture proportions with different parameters are measured by chloride diffusion test, the exemplary anayses of corrosion threhold time of those mixture proportions are carried out.
