In conventional construction practices, roof-parapet junction structures inevitably disrupt the insulation installation's continuity, leading to energy loss and thermal bridging. To address this issue, parapet thermal breaks were installed to interrupt the heat flow between the roof and the parapet, effectively preventing thermal bridging and energy loss and thereby reducing overall energy loss in buildings. This study equipped three experimental specimens with the developed parapet thermal breaks to verify their structural performance. These specimens were subjected to unidirectional loading under displacement-controlled conditions. The structural performance of these insulation structures was evaluated by comparing and analyzing the test results with corresponding analytical studies conducted using a finite element analysis program. In addition, five analytical models with varying parameters of the parapet thermal breaks were developed and compared against the baseline model. Consequently, the most efficient shape of the parapet thermal break was determined.

최근 지구온난화로 인해 폭우, 눈 등 이상기후가 발생하면서 노면 동결(블랙아이스)로 인한 사고 및 인명피해가 늘어나고 있 는 것이 문제가 되고 있다. 이를 최소화하기 위해 본 연구에서는 다공성 골재인 팽창점토에 열저장이 가능한 상변화물질(PCM)을 적용 하였다. PCM은 상변화 과정에서 열에너지를 흡수, 저장, 방출할 수 있는 소재로 온도에 따른 결빙을 최소화할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연 구에서는 시멘트 복합재에 적용되는 PCM 함침이 가능한 경량골재에 진공함침을 실시하고 기계적, 열적 성능 검증 연구를 수행하였다. 열적 성능을 향상시키기 위해 다중벽탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)와 실리카흄을 첨가하였다. 본 연구에서는 물체의 열적 성능을 측정할 수 있는 DSC 실험을 통해 PCM 함침 경량골재 및 콘크리트 복합체의 열적 성능을 검증하였다. 콘크리트 복합체 제작 후 압축강도 시험 과 열적 성능시험을 실시하였다. 이때 열적 성능을 검증하기 위해 항온항습 챔버를 이용하여 시험을 진행하였다. 압축강도 실험을 통 해 MWCNT의 분삭액을 혼입한 PCM 함침 팽창점토가 적용된 콘크리트 복합체의 평균 압축강도는 24MPa 이상으로 구조물에 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 열적 성능시험을 통해 PCM 함침 팽창점토가 적용된 콘크리트 복합체는 영하의 외기온도에서도 영상의 온도를 유지할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 주거 및 상업 건물 및 다양한 구조물에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 축산시설 내 설치된 무창기공형 집열기의 배기 방향 및 유량 변화를 통해 벽체에 전달되는 일사를 차단, 이를 통한 냉방효과를 검증하려는 목적의 기초 연구로서 무창기공형 집열기 시험장치를 제작, 배기 유량 변화에 따른 위치별 온도 변화 및 이를 통한 열성능 평가를 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 무창기공형 집열기의 유량조건별 집열판 표면온도는 최고 27.7℃, 배기온도는 최고 약 10.9℃ 온도 차이를 확인하였다. 무창기공형 집열기의 유량조건별 열교환 유효도는 0.48∼0.62, 효율은 30%∼90%의 분포로 나타났다. 집열판 에너지는 유량이 증가함에 따라 감소, 집열기 내부 에너지는 유량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 이를 통해 농업시설 외벽에 설치된 무창기공형 집열기의 여름철 미운용으로 인한 집열판 및 내부 온도상승과 이로 인한 벽체로의 열전달 등 무창기공형 집열기로 인한 역효과를 방지할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 집열기 외부로의 강제 배기를 통해 벽체로 직접 투입되는 일사 차단을 통한 냉방효과 또한 구현할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 지구온난화로 인해 발생하는 폭우 및 강설과 같은 비정상적인 기상 패턴으로 인해 도로 표면 결빙(블랙 아이스)으로 인 한 사고와 인명 피해가 증가하고 있으며, 이는 주요 문제로 대두되고 있습니다. 이러한 문제를 완화하기 위해 본 연구에서는 열저장 능력을 갖춘 상변화 물질(PCM)을 시멘트 복합재료에 포함시켰습니다. PCM은 상변화 과정에서 열에너지를 흡수, 저장 및 방출할 수 있어 온도 변동으로 인한 결빙을 최소화할 수 있습니다. PCM은 먼저 미세 캡슐화된 후 시멘트 복합재료에 강화되어 기계적 및 열적 성능 검증 연구가 수행되었습니다. 또한, 열전달 효율과 기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 실리카 퓸이 추 가되었습니다. 미세 캡슐화된 PCM의 열 성능은 열 거동을 측정하기 위한 재료 실험을 통해 검증되었습니다. 이후, 제조된 시멘트 복 합재의 기계적 및 열적 성능 테스트가 그 효과를 평가하기 위해 수행되었습니다. 이러한 테스트 동안 일정 온도와 습도 챔버를 사용한 열 주기 테스트가 열 성능을 검증하기 위해 수행되었습니다. 기계적 성능 실험에서는 CNT와 실리카 퓸의 포함이 미세 캡슐화된 PCM 의 포함으로 인한 강도 저하를 완화하는 것을 확인하였습니다. 더욱이, 열 주기 테스트를 통해 고효율 열저장 시멘트 복합재가 결빙 조건에서도 영하의 온도를 유지할 수 있음을 보여주었으며, 이는 효율적인 열저장 성능을 입증하였습니다.

The PCHE(Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger)-type heat exchanger, which was fabricated by etching and diffusion bonding, was used to hydrogen station, VHTR(Very High Temperature Reactor), SMR and so on. The hydrogen station equipped with PCHE-type heat exchanger is necessary to inject the hydrogen gas into facilities, for instance, such as HFCV(Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle) and power systems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal characteristics of thin plate of PCHE depending on constraint conditions through numerical analysis. As the results, it showed that thermal stress of thin plate, which was not performed diffusion bonding at all, was larger than that, which was performed perfect diffusion bonding, and its maximum difference was about 3 times. Further it was confirmed that the thermal characteristics of thin plate could be obtained by investigating the heat flux.

본 연구는 도로 노면의 결빙을 방지하기 위해 열적 특성을 갖는 콘크리트를 개발했습니다. 팽창 점 토에 상변화 물질(PCM)을 함침 시키고, 고열 전도성 에폭시와 실리카 흄으로 이중코팅을 하여 PCM 물질의 유출 방지, 골재의 부착성 개선, 열적 성능 개선을 하였으며 이를 DSC를 통해 열적 성능 평가 를 진행하여 확인했습니다. 또한 상변화 물질과 경량골재의 사용으로 인한 강도 감소 개선을 위한 CNT 혼합으로 강도 감소를 25% 개선하였습니다.

상변화 물질(PCM)은 상전이 동안 에너지를 흡수하거나 방출할 수 있는 잠열 저장 물질로 활용된다. 최근 수십 년 동 안, 연구자들은 다양한 온도 적용을 위한 건설 물질로의 다양한 PCM의 통합을 탐구해 왔다. 그러나, PCM을 통합하는 콘크리트 의 기계적 및 열적 반응은 통합 방법에 의해 영향을 받는다. PCM을 콘크리트에 추가하기 위한 여러 기술이 제안되었다. 그럼 에도 불구하고, 콘크리트에 마이크로 캡슐화 PCM(m-PCM)의 통합은 종종 기계적 강도의 상당한 감소를 초래한다. 기존 콘크리 트에 m-PCM의 추가와 관련된 한계를 극복하기 위해, 예외적인 강도 및 내구성 특성으로 인해 초고성능 시멘트 복합체(UHPCC) 가 선호된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존 기술의 단점을 해결하기 위해 PCM을 통합한 신규 나노 엔지니어링 UHPCC를 개발하 였다. 또한, 시멘트 복합체의 기계적 및 열적 성능을 향상시키기 위해 다중 벽 탄소 나노튜브(MWCNT)를 추가하였다. 결과는 MWCNT의 포함이 기계적 성능을 향상시켰을 뿐만 아니라 시멘트 복합체의 열적 성능을 향상시켰다는 것을 보여 주었다.

High-temperature and high-pressure post-processing applied to sintered thermoelectric materials can create nanoscale defects, thereby enhancing their thermoelectric performance. Here, we investigate the effect of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) as a post-processing treatment on the thermoelectric properties of p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3.0 compounds sintered via spark plasma sintering. The sample post-processed via HIP maintains its electronic transport properties despite the reduced microstructural texturing. Moreover, lattice thermal conductivity is significantly reduced owing to activated phonon scattering, which can be attributed to the nanoscale defects created during HIP, resulting in an ~18% increase in peak zT value, which reaches ~1.43 at 100oC. This study validates that HIP enhances the thermoelectric performance by controlling the thermal transport without having any detrimental effects on the electronic transport properties of thermoelectric materials.

This study sought to conduct a fundamental investigation in order to test and evaluate the thermal performance of an aluminum stick curtain wall system. In terms of the thermal performance index, the infiltration rate of air tightness, thermal transmittance of the heat insulation property and temperature difference ratio of condensation resistance were experimentally measured. The research process can be divided into three parts. First of all, a database for the test report of the curtain wall was compiled and existing design criteria with respect to the evaluation method and standard of transparent building components such as curtain wall, window and door were analyzed to produce the specimens. Secondly, four different types of curtain wall specimens were created through investigating the curtain wall database. Thirdly, standard tests of thermal performance were carried out for airtightness, thermal performance and condensation resistance. As a result, the curtain wall specimens with low-e triple glazing covered by an aluminum capture system showed high thermal performance compared to other curtain wall specimens including low-e triple glazing with a 4-sided structural sealant glazing system. Air tightness of all types of curtain wall specimens satisfied level 1 standard for air tightness. It was found that a curtain wall which consists of a one track frame has difficulties meeting the residential standard of thermal performance with regard to thermal transmittance and condensation resistance.

This study is to investigate fuel cladding temperature in a transport system for the purpose of developing a methodology for evaluating the thermal performance of spent fuel. Detailed temperature analysis in the transport system is important because the degradation mechanism of the fuel cladding is generally sensitive to temperature and temperature history. In such a system, the magnitude of the temperature change is determined by examining the temperature sensitivity of fuel assemblies and system components including fuel cladding temperature, considering the material properties, component specifications, component aging mechanism, and heat transfer mechanism. The sensitivity analysis is performed using heat transfer models by computational fluid dynamics for the horizontal transport system. The heat transfer within the system by convection, conduction and thermal radiation is calculated by thermal-hydraulic analysis code FLUENT. The calculation region is divided into a basket cell and a transport cask. The thermal analysis of the basket cell is for predicting the fuel cladding temperature. And the reason for analyzing the transport cask is to provide the boundary condition for the basket cell by reflecting the external environmental conditions. Here, the basket cell containing the spent fuel assembly is modeled on the homogeneous effective thermal conductivity. The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate fuel cladding temperatures for the following four main items. That is the effect of surface emissivity changes in basket due to the oxide layer of the fuel cladding, the effect of degradation of the canister backfill helium gas, the effect of fuel assembly position in basket cell on fuel cladding and basket temperatures in canister, and the effect of using the homogeneous effective thermal conductivity model instead of the fuel assembly in basket cell. As a result of the analysis, the maximum temperatures in basket cells are evaluated for the above four items. Thermal margins for each item are investigated for thermal performance requirements (e.g., peak clad temperature below 400oC).

To decrease area of the repository for high-level radioactive waste, enhancing the disposal efficiency is needed for public acceptance. Previous studies regarding the performance assessment of KRS and KRS+ repository did not consider area-based variations of the geothermal gradient and rock thermal properties in Korea. This research estimated deposition hole spacing based on performance assessment of a repository using the distribution of geothermal gradient and rock thermal properties in Korea to increase disposal efficiency. Distributions of geothermal gradient, rock thermal properties were investigated based on 2019 Korea geothermal atlas published by Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). Effect of thermal performance parameters was analyzed using coupled thermal-hydraulic numerical simulations, and effect of rock thermal conductivity and deposition hole spacing on the maximum temperature of buffer was relatively large. In addition, distribution maps of thermal performance of a repository and deposition hole spacing were plotted using thermal performance parameters-maximum temperature of buffer regression equations and GIS data given by KIGAM. In the regions showing the highest maximum temperature of buffer in Korea, required deposition hole spacings were 10.5 m, 10.0 m, 10.1 m, respectively for KJ-II, MX-80, and FEBEX bentonite cases, and thereby additional disposal area of 40%, 33.3%, and 34.7% were required compared to that of the KRS+ repository. On the other hand, high disposal efficiency can be obtained in the regions showing the low maximum temperature of bentonite buffer. The methodology provided in this research can be used as one of the references for the selection of domestic candidate repository sites. Additional mechanical performance analysis should be conducted using distributions of mechanical properties of rock mass in Korea.

In this study, the types of thermal breakers applied to structures to prevent thermal bridges were identified. Condensation prevention performance was evaluated for apartment houses with standard floor structures to which a thermal breaker was applied. In addition, the effect of thermal cross-blocking was compared by calculating the total heat and equivalent U-value through the wall. (1) As a result of the evaluation of anti-condensation performance, when “가” grade insulation was applied, the surface temperature increased by about 1K due to the application of the thermal breaker. The TDR value increased by about 0.06 to 0.07. When "나" grade insulation was applied, the minimum surface temperature increased by about 1K, and the TDR value increased by about 0.05~0.06. (2) As a result of the evaluation of total heat and U-equivalent, it was possible to reduce the total heat by 38.5~44.9% and U-equivalent by 38.5~45.0% for the "가" grade insulation to which the thermal breaker was applied. In addition, the "나" grade insulation to which the thermal breaker was applied can reduce total heat by 38.9 to 43.6%, and reduce the Uequivalent by 38.9 to 43.7%.

In this study, an accelerated weathering test was performed to examine the variation of thermal insulation performance according to the service life. A widely used class 1 thermal screen (matt georgette + polyethylene (PE) foam + chemical cotton + felt + matt georgette) was selected as the target thermal screen. The ultraviolet irradiation that reached the target thermal screen specimen (60 x 60cm) was 5mW/cm2. Thus, the ultraviolet irradiance was set to 5mW/cm2, and the exposure periods of accelerated weathering conditions on the specimens were set to 0, 282, 847, and 1412h. The radiation exposure periods of the weathering conditions for 0, 282, 847, and 1412h indicate the amount of ultraviolet accumulation for 0, 1, 3, and 5years, respectively. In the accelerated weathering test, the target specimens that completed each exposure phase were subjected to the hotbox test to analyze their thermal insulation performances. Consequently, the thermal insulation performance of the multi-layer thermal screen was estimated to degrade rapidly after approximately two years. In the accelerated weathering condition, a quadratic function model was used to calculate the expected service life, since it adequately described the variation in thermal insulation of the thermal screen according to time. The results showed that when the thermal insulation performance degraded by 5, 10, 20, and 30%, the expected service lives were 2.5, 3.3, 4.5, and 5.5years, respectively.

Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) based thin-film solar cells have attracted growing attention because of their earthabundant and non-toxic elements. However, because of their large open-circuit voltage (Voc)-deficit, CZTSSe solar cells exhibit poor device performance compared to well-established Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGS) and CdTe based solar cells. One of the main causes of this large Voc-deficit is poor absorber properties for example, high band tailing properties, defects, secondary phases, carrier recombination, etc. In particular, the fabrication of absorbers using physical methods results in poor surface morphology, such as pin-holes and voids. To overcome this problem and form large and homogeneous CZTSSe grains, CZTSSe based absorber layers are prepared by a sputtering technique with different RTA conditions. The temperature is varied from 510 oC to 540 oC during the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. Further, CZTSSe thin films are examined with X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, IPCE, Energy dispersive spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy techniques. The present work shows that Cu-based secondary phase formation can be suppressed in the CZTSSe absorber layer at an optimum RTA condition.

판형 열교환기는 1920년대부터 본격적으로 상업화되었으며, 이후 판형 열교환기의 기본 컨셉은 지금까지도 거의 변화가 없었지만 고온, 고압 그리고 대용량 열교환에 적용되기 위해 설계 및 제작 방법들이 혁신적으로 발전하여 지금에 이르게 되었다. 판형 열교환기의 개발 트렌드는 전열 효율이 좋으면서 압 력강하가 낮고 또한 유체 분배가 잘되는 전열판의 개발과 일치한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 트렌드를 만족 시키는 선박용 중속엔진 오일 냉각용 판형 쿨러 개발과 관련된 주요 과정들을 소개하고, 또한 개발된 판형 오일쿨러의 전열성능을 실험적으로 분석하여 이에 대한 결과를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 판형 쿨러는 구조적 특징으로 인해 직접 판벽 온도를 측정할 수 없어 수정된 Wilson Plot 방법을 응용하여 열전달계수를 구하였다. 오일-물 실험 전에 물-물 실험을 통해 우선 물측의 열전달계수와 압력강하량을 구하였고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 오일측의 열전달계수를 구하였다. 양측 모두 유량 증가에 따라 열전달 성능은 증가하였지 만, 압력강하량도 동시에 증가하였다. 그리고 실험을 통해 본 연구에서 개발된 판형 오일쿨러가 개발목표치를 성공적으로 달성하였음을 확인할 수 있었다.

PURPOSES : It is well known that low temperature cracking is one of the most serious distresses on asphalt pavement, especially for northern U.S. (including Alaska), Canada and the northern part of south Korea. The risk of thermal cracking can be numerically measured by estimating thermal stress of a given asphalt mixture. This thermal stress can be computed by low temperature creep testing. Currently, in-direct tensile (IDT) mixture creep test mentioned in AASHTO specification is used for measuring low temperature creep properties of a given asphalt mixture. However, IDT requires the use of expensive testing equipment for performing the sophisticated analysis process, however, very few laboratories utilize this equipment. In this paper, a new and simple performance test (SPT) method: bending beam rheometer (BBR) mixture creep testing equipment is introduced, and the estimated experimental results were compared with those of conventional IDT tests. METHODS: Three different asphalt mixtures containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and roofing shingles were prepared in the Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) research laboratory. Using the BBR and IDT, the low temperature creep stiffness data were measured and subsequently computed. Using a simple power-law function, the creep stiffness data were converted into relaxation modulus, and subsequently compared. Finally, thermal stress results were computed from relaxation modulus master curve using Gaussian quadrature approach with condierations of 24 Gauss number. RESULTS: In the case of the conventional asphalt mixture, similar trends were observed when the relaxation modulus and thermal stress results were compared. In the case of RAP and Shingle added mixtures, relatively different computation results were obtained. It can be estimated that different experimental surroundings and specimen sizes affected the results. CONCLUSIONS: It can be said that the BBR mixture creep test can be a more viable approach for measuring low temperature properties of asphalt mixture compared to expensive and complex IDT testing methods. However, more extensive research and analysis are required to further verify the feasibility of the BBR mixture creep test.

of the marketed multi-later insulating curtain was carried out. Experiments is conducted by fabricating a test apparatus for investigating the heat flux characteristics. The multi-later insulating curtain used for the experiment was compared using the P, N, S, U and T company, which are commercially available, and the heat flux due to temperature difference between the experimental apparatus and the outside was compared and analyzed. When the internal temperature of the experimental result is the maximum temperature 60℃, the heat flux of multi-later insulating curtain is T Co.(73.1W/m2) > S Co.(119.5W/m2) > U Co.(155W/m2) > N Co.(163.1 W/m2) > P Co.(177.7W/m2). The heat flux means the quantity of heat passing through the unit time per unit area, and the higher the numerical value, the higher the quantity of heat passing through the multi-layer insulating curtain. This can be determined that high heat fluxes produce low heat resistance. Further, it has been found that the weight of the insulating curtain is largely unrelated to the heat insulating property, and the heat insulating curtain having a thickness containing a high internal air layer is excellent in the heat insulating property. In the future when manufacturing a heat insulating curtain, It is judged that it is desirable to manufacture a combination of heat insulating materials that contain a high internal air layer content and that can maintain the air layer even for long-term use while minimizing the volume.
