The efficiency of photovoltaic modules decreases as the cell temperature increases. It is necessary to have an adequate thermal management mechanism for a photovoltaic module, especially when combined with a building construction system. This study aims to investigate via computational fluid...

The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a common procedure of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) used in case of cardiopulmonary diseases. The major clinical complications are related to hemodynamic changes and to the mechanical shear stress. The aim of this study is to evaluate the...

The study presents the use of genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the bipolar plate channel geometry of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Contrary to previous optimization techniques, laborious fuel cell design steps, including boundary setting, mesh generation, and numerical...

Solar volumetric-receivers have been successfully used in both electricity production and thermochemical applications. This paper studies the applicability of this technology to the production of process heat for high-temperature uses (573–1073 K).

Having very strong current on the west coast with up to 10 m tidal range, there are many suitable sites for the application of tidal current power (TCP) in Korea. The turbine, which initially converts the tidal energy, is an important component because it affects the efficiency of the entire...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is one of the most common sleep disorders. To treat patients with this health problem, it is important to detect the severity of this syndrome and occlusion sites in each patient. The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that the cure of obstructive sleep...

Due to global warming, the need to secure an alternative clean energy resource has become an international issue. Tidal current power is now recognized as one of the clean power resources in Korea, where there are many strong current regions on the west and south coasts. Recently, large scale...
