AU(A plus U-shaped) composite beam was developed for reducing the story height in the residential buildings, and saving the cosrtuction cost of floor structures. Structural performance and economic feasibility of the composite beam have been sufficiently approved through the structural experiments and the analytical studies. Fire safety for the practical application of the composite beam has also been verified through the fire resistance tests and the heat transfer analyses. In this study 2-points bending tests were performed on the four specimens already tested for fire resistance to evaluate the residual bending strength of AU composite beam after fire accident. The same bending test was performed on the one fresh specimen having the same section and span of the specimens for practically comparative study.

In order to investigate the applicability of ohmic heating in the blanching and heat sterilization process of vegetable foods, various electrical properties and heating characteristics were studied using intact potato. The electrical conductivity of potato with cell structure was 0.025 S/m, which was lower than that of starch and protein gel, and was increased linearly with increasing temperature. The temperature of ohmic heating was sharply increased from 8 min at 60 V, reaching 90°C after 10 min. The temperature rise was rapid at 60°C which was due to the increase of current flow by structural change related to the gelatinization of starch. The increase of temperature was faster when the frequency was increased, such as from 500 Hz to 1000 Hz. When potato was heated by ohmic heating at 60- 90 V and 40-120 Hz, rapid and uniform heat generation was possible. Thus, commercial utilization of ohmic heating can be applied for various types of vegetable foodstuff with ohmic heating was observed.

Ohmic heating is a heating method based on the principle when an electrical current passes through food. Since this method is internal, electrical current damage occurred during heating treatment. The results of ohmic heated starch’s external structure, X-ray diffraction, DSC analysis and RVA were differed from those of conventional heating at the same temperature. Several starches changed more rigid by structure re-aggregation. This change in starch was caused by change of physical, chemical, rheological property. The rheology of ohmic heated potato and corn starch of different heated methods were compared with chemically modified starch. After gelatinization, sample starch suspension (2%, 3%) measured flow curves by rheometer. Cross-linked chemically modified starch’s shear stress was decreased with degree of substitution reversibly. Ohmic heated more dramatic, at 60℃. Potato starch’s shear stress was less than commercial high cross-linked modified starch. Flow curves of potato starches measured at 4℃, 10℃, 20℃. Showed that Ohmic heated potato starch’s shear stress ranging between 4℃ and 20℃ was narrower than modified starch. According to this study, ohmic heated potato starch can be used by decreasing viscosity agent like cross-linked modified starch.

Phosphorus is a vital resource for sustaining agriculture and nutrition, but a limited non-renewable resource. Thus, the recovery of phosphorus from waste activated sludge(WAS) was attempted by microwave heating and magnesium ammonium phosphorus(MAP) crystallization. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms(PAOs) in WAS release phosphate from the cell when they are exposed to high temperature environments. Microwave heating caused phosphorus and ammonia to release from WAS. The amount was increased with increasing temperature, showing that 88.5% of polyphosphate present in the cells were released in the form of phosphate at 80oC. A similar result was also observed in the release of ammonia. On the other hand, both phosphorus and ammonia were crystallized with magnesium, and then was harvested as MAP. Phosphorus recovery rate reached almost 97.8%, but the ammonia was about 13.4%. These results cleary indicate that phosphorus could be recovered from WAS using a physiological trait of PAOs. Heavy metal analyses also show that the MAP crystal is useful and safe as a phosphorus fertilizer.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for setting environmental design standards for domestic greenhouses. We conducted experiments on thermal environment measurement at two commercial greenhouses where hot water heating system is adopted. We analyzed heat transfer characteristics of hot water heating pipes and heat emission per unit length of heating pipes was presented. The average air temperature in two greenhouses was controlled to 16.3oC and 14.6oC during the experiment, respectively. The average water temperature in heating pipes was 52.3oC and 45.0oC, respectively. Experimental results showed that natural convection heat transfer coefficient of heating pipe surface was in the range of 5.71~7.49W/m2 oC. When the flow rate in heating pipe was 0.5m/s or more, temperature difference between hot water and pipe surface was not large. Based on this, overall heat transfer coefficient of heating pipe was derived as form of laminar natural convection heat transfer coefficient in the horizontal cylinder. By modifying the equation of overall heat transfer coefficient, a formula for calculating the heat emission per unit length of hot water heating pipe was developed, which uses pipe size and temperature difference between hot water and indoor air as input variables. The results of this study were compared with domestic and foreign data, and it was found to be closest to JGHA data. The data of NAAS, BALLS and ASHRAE were judged to be too large. Therefore, in order to set up environmental design standards for domestic greenhouses, it is necessary to fully examine those data through further experiments.

In this study, the cooling and heating amount, temperature, flow rate of turbine type heat meter for water source heat-pump system were experimentally investigated at the standard operating conditions. The obtained cooling and heating capacity from the heat meter were deviated within 5.0%, 3.8% comparing with the precise values calculated from an accredited test facility. Even though the accumulated cooling and heating amount values of the heat meter had a small difference comparing with the precise values, the temperatures of heat meter showed greatly different values comparing with the precise temperature. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop the heat meter which is appropriate for the water source heat pump systems.

Experiments of local cooling and heating on crown and root zone of forcing cultivation of strawberry ‘Seolhyang’ using heat pump and root pruning before planting were conducted. During the daytime, the crown surface temperature of the crown local cooling treatment was maintained at 18 ~ 22oC. This is suitable for flower differentiation, while those of control and root zone local cooling treatment were above 30oC. Budding rate of first flower clusters and initial yields were in the order of crown local cooling, root zone local cooling and control in root pruning plantlet and non pruning plantlet, except for purchase plantlet. Those of root pruning plantlet were higher than those of non pruning plantlet. These trends were evident in the yield of the first flower cluster until February 14, 2018, and the effect of local cooling and root pruning decreased from March 9, 2018. The budding rates of the second flower cluster according to the local cooling and root pruning treatments were not noticeable compared to first flower cluster but showed the same tendency as that of first flower cluster. In the heating experiment, root zone local heating(root zone 20oC+inside greenhouse 5oC) and crown local heating(crown 20oC+inside greenhouse 5oC) saved 59% and 65% of heating fuel, respectively, compared to control(inside greenhouse 9oC). Considering the electric power consumption according to the heat pump operation, the heating costs were reduced by 55% and 61%, respectively.

Severe wall thinning is found on the tube of a low-pressure evaporator(LPEVA) module that is used for a heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) of a district heating system. Since wall thinning can lead to sudden failure or accidents that lead to shutdown of the operation, it is very important to investigate the main mechanism of the wall thinning. In this study, corrosion analysis associated with a typical flow-accelerated corrosion(FAC) is performed using the corroded tube connected to an upper header of the LPEVA. To investigate factors triggering the FAC, the morphology, composition, and phase of the corroded product of the tube are examined using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The results show that the thinnest part of the tube is in the region where gas directly contacts, revealing the typical orange peel type of morphology frequently found in the FAC. The discovery of oxide scales containing phosphate indicates that phosphate corrosion is the main mechanism that weakens the stability of the protective magnetite film and the FAC accelerates the corrosion by generating the orange peel type of morphology.

In this study, we have investigated the optimal control method and the energy saving possibility when the dimming control for lighting and the suspended particles display(SPD) glass for window were applied to reduce the lighting load and the cooling load in office buildings. Simulations were carried out during from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm of typical one day on summer, winter and intermediate season. Simulation results showed that the cooling and lighting energy usage was reduced to 21.2% compared to the baseline model. Therefore, it was possible to predict the optimum control method of the suspended particles display(SPD) window to control the transmittance for energy saving and the dimming control for lighting during summer season.

온실의 냉난방부하 산정을 위해 설계자가 선택해야할 주요 변수들에 대하여, 이들 설계 변수가 냉난방부하에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해서 각각의 설계 변수값을 변화시키면서 시뮬레이션을 실시하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 특별히 선택에 주의를 기울여야 할 설계 변수를 제안하였다. 난방부하에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 설계 변수는 피복재의 열관류율이고, 다음으로 설계외기온인 것으로 나타났다. 연동수에 따른 설계 변수의 영향은 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 단동 온실의 경우에는 지중전열 관련 설계 변수의 영향을 무시할 수 없을 것으로 생각되지만, 연동 온실의 경우에는 지중전열 관련 변수 및 틈새환기율의 영향이 미미한 것으로 판단되었다. 냉방부하에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 설계 변수는 온실내로 유입되는 일사량과 증발산계수이고, 다음으로 실내외 기온차, 환기율인 것으로 나타났다. 설계 변수의 영향은 단동 온실과 연동 온실에서 큰 차이를 보였으나, 연동수에 따른 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 피복재의 열관류율은 단동 온실이나 연동 온실 모두 영향이 미미한 것으로 나타났지만, 실내외 기온차 및 환기율의 경우에는 냉방부하에 미치는 영향을 무시할 수 없을 것으로 생각되며, 특히 연동 온실에서 그 영향이 더 큰 것으로 판단되었다. 냉방부하를 산정할 때 실내 목표온도를 낮게 설정할수록 설계 변수의 선택에 신중해야 한다. 특히, 실내 목표온도를 외기온 보다 낮게 설정하면 환기율 및 열관류율 값이 냉방부하를 증가시키는 방향으로 바뀌므로 더욱 주의해야 한다. 환기율이 낮을 때는 설계 변수 중 설계일사량과 증발산계수의 선택에 주의해야 하고, 환기율이 높을 때는 실내 설정온도와 설계외기온의 선택에 신중을 기해야 한다.

온실 냉난방시스템 설계용 외부기상조건의 분석 기준을 설정하기 위하여 연간 백분위 방식에 의한 냉난방 설계기온을 분석하고, 기존의 계절 백분위 방식에 의한 설계기온과 비교 검토하였다. 우리나라 전 지역을 대상으로 현재 기상청에서 제공하는 기후평년값 기준 30년간의 매 시각 기상자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 표준기상 데이터의 이용이 제한적이기 때문에 전체 기상자료를 이용하여 매년 설계용 기상조건을 구하고, 전체 자료기간의 평균값을 분석에 사용하였다. 연간 백분위 방식으로 1년 기준 총 8,760시간의 백분위수 0.4%, 1%, 2%를 냉방 설계 외기온으로, 99.6%, 99%를 난방 설계 외기온으로 제시하였다. 연간 백분위 방식을 채택할 경우 계절 백분위 방식에 비하여 전체적으로 난방설계 외기온은 6.7~9.6% 상승하는 것으로 나타났으며, 냉방설계 외기온은 0.6~1.1% 하강하는 것으로 나타났다. 동일한 온실 조건에서 최대난방부하는 연간 백분위 방식을 채택할 경우 기존의 계절 백분위 방식에 비하여 약 3.0~3.6% 정도 감소하는 것으로 나타났고, 최대냉방부하에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 난방설계 외기온은 연간 백분위 방식으로의 변경에 대하여 고려할 필요가 있지만, 냉방설계 외기온은 두 방법 간의 차이가 거의 없으므로 아직까지 변경할 필요는 없는 것으로 판단된다. 전체적으로 현재의 계절 백분위 방식으로 분석한 설계 외기온을 사용하여도 큰 문제는 없을 것으로 생각되지만, 기후변화의 영향을 고려하여 주기적인 설계용 기상자료의 분석 및 설계기준의 개정이 필요하고, 현재의 기후평년값 기준연도가 바뀌는 2021년 이후에는 이 기간의 기상자료를 분석하여 새로운 설계기준으로 제공해야 할 것이므로, 그 때 연간 백분위 방식에 대한 전문가 그룹의 검토를 통하여 반영할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
