최근들어 에너지 고갈로 인해 에너지 저장 및 대체 에너지에 대한 관심이 점차 높아 지고 있다. 이로 인해 상변화 물질을 이용한 에너지 저장 및 이동에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SPG막(Shirasu porous glass membrane)을 통한 막유화법을 이용하여 상변화 물질인 파라핀계 루비덤® (RT-21과 RT-24)을 분산상으로 하여 단분산성 마이크로 입자를 제조하고, 외부를 실리카로 코팅하여 열정 안정성을 향상시키고 열적 특성을 조사하였다. 단분산성 루비덤® 입자의 제조를 위해 분산상 압력, 유화제 농도, 루비덤®과 실리카의 비율을 변수로 하여 평균 입자 크기 7-8 μm를 얻었다. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)와 Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA)를 이용하여 열적 안정성과 잠열 등의 열적 특성을 조사하였고, Particle size analyzer (PSA), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy를 이용하여 입자 분포와 캡슐화 유무를 확인하였다. 또한, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)를 통하여 정성분석을 시행하였다. 결과적으로, 막유화법을 이용하여 얻은 실리카 코팅된 단분산성 루비덤® 입자는 향상된 열적 안정성을 보였으며, 순수한 루비덤®의 80% 이상의 잠열을 유지하는 것을 보여 기존의 상변화 물질의 상안정성을 보완하여 열저장성 기능성 벽지와 건축물, 인테리어 제품에 사용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

For the high quality and low cost agricultural crops in greenhouse cultivation, it is necessary to use natural energy as much as possible. In order to reduce the fossil fuel consumption and maximize the solar energy utilization in greenhouse heating, a latent heat storage material was developed as a relatively highly concentrative solar energy storage medium. And a solar energy-latent heat storage system was designed and constructed. The experimental research on greenhouse heating effect of the system was performed.

Experiments of quenching were made with cylindrical specimens of carbon steel S45C of diameters from 12 to 30mm were performed. The specimens were heated by electric furnace and quenched by immersion method. In order to analyze the temperature profile(cooling curves) of carbon steel including the latent heat of phase transformation, nonlinear heat conduction problem was calculated by the numerical method of inverse heat conduction problem using the apparent heat capacity method. The difference between the calculated and the experimented cooling curves was caused by the latent heat of phase transformation, and the effects of the latent heat were especially manifest at the cooling curves of center of specimens. The temperature and the quantity of the latent heat of phase transformation depend on the cooling speed at A sub(1) transformation point, and the region for cooling speed to become zero was caused by the latent heat of phase transformation.

The study was conducted to evaluate the latent heat properties of cement mortar with different contents of phase change material (PCM). The paraffin PCM with melting point of 44℃ used in this study. PCM was added in the mixture with contents ranged from 0 to 30%. Test results indicated that the heat storage performances of cement mortar were improved with increasing the content of PCM.

본 연구에서는 스트론튬계 잠열재를 사용한 저발열 콘크리트를 레미콘 배처플랜트에서 시험생산한 후 생산된 콘크리트의 기초성능 및 모의부재에 의한 수화온도 특성을 평가하였으며, 그 결과 스트론튬계 잠열재를 사용한 저발열 콘크리트의 현장적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 이후 스트론튬계 잠열재를 사용한 콘크리트를 실제 교각 건설현장에 적용하였으며, 적용부재에 대한 수화열 해석 및 타설 콘크리트의 성능평가 결과 수화열 및 온도균열 저감효과가 우수한 것으로 나타나, 향후 대형 매스콘크리트의 수화열 및 온도균열 저감대책으로서 활용이 기대된다.

Evapotranspiration is one of the important elements related water cycle and there is many kind of measurement method of evapotranspiration today. This study developed mini lysimeter for the purpose of direct measurement of evapotranspiration and installed on 5th, July, 2010 at the field of MRI which located at Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan for continuous measurement and understand relation between evapotranspiration and meteorological elements expecially radiation elements. And compared the evapotranspiration data of lysimeter with Bowen Ratio Method. The result of this study is as follows; There is high related with solar radiation and evapotranspiration with R2=0.947. and 46 % of solar radiation converted into evapotranspiration during clear 5 days. In net radiation also highly related with evapotranspiration, we can derive evapotranspiration is mainly controlled by radiation energy in clear days. From the 104 days data, there is only 9 % difference between Bowen Ratio Method and evapotranspiration of lysimeter which was developed from this study is very useful to estimate evapotranspiration at field site with simple and high accuracy. High accuracy and resolution measurement of evapotranspiration by lysimeter can give a chance further study of meteorological phenomena of on ground expecially in night time condensation which means abnormal energy flow.
