An experimental study was conducted to scrutinize the influence of the frequency of an ultrasonic standing wave on the variation in the behavior of a methane-air premixed flame. The evolutionary features of the propagating flame were captured by a high-speed camera, and the macroscopic flame behavior, including the flame structure and local velocities, was investigated in detail using a post-processing analysis of the high-speed images. It was found that a structural variation and propagation-velocity augmentation of the methane-air premixed flame were caused by the intervention of the ultrasonic standing wave, which enhanced the combustion reaction. Conclusive evidence for the dependency of the flame behaviors on the driving frequency of the ultrasonic standing wave and equivalence ratio of the reactants is presented.

A prototype of a linear piezoelectric actuator is developed and its dynamic behaviors are investigated. The actuator consists of a driving tip with two stacked piezoelectric elements and a slider. Dynamic characteristics of slider over various vibration lici of the driving tip and changes of normal force acting on the vibratory tip are examined through experiments. The moving direction of slider can be controlled by changing a phase angle between input signals applied to piezoelectric elements. A change of phase difference between input signals also have a great influence on the vibration locus of driving tip. Changes of slider motion due to different vibration loci are examined by experiments.

This study was performed to figure out spray behavior and fuel atomization characteristics of a piezo-driven injector and a solenoid-driven injector in the common-rail injection system under the same design parameters and test conditions. The process of spray injection was visualized by using the spray visualization system composed of a Nd:YAG laser and an ICCD camera. The atomization characteristics were investigated in terms of axial mean velocity, Sauter mean diameter(SMD) and droplet distributions obtained from a phase Doppler particle analyzer system. Compared with solenoid-driven injector, the piezo-driven injector has short injection delay and reaches quickly to the maximum injection value. Spray tip penetration shows some difference, however, spray angle of piezo-driven injector is wider than that of solenoid-driven injector. Sauter mean diameter of piezo-driven type injector is smaller than that of solenoid-driven type.

FED(Field emission display)의 FEAs(Field emitter arrays)에 형성되어 있는 micro-tip 은 tip 표면의 오염이나 진공내부의 잔류가스에 대단히 민감하다. 특히, emitter 물질의 일함수 및 겉모양 같은 기하학적 요소에 민감한 전계방출 소자의 특성상 tip 선단이 oxidation 될 경우 일함수가 증가하여 전자방출에 필요한 구동전압이 증가하고 전자 방출의 불균일성이 커지는 문제점이 발생한다. 이에 고진공의 동작 환경 및 FEAs 제작과정이나 공기의 노출에 발생하는 tip 표면의 오염물질 제거가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 40$\times$40mm2 FEAs에 laser power, scan speed을 달리하며 laser(cw Nd-YAG, 1064nm)을 조사하였다. laser cleaning 효과를 보기 위해 laser irradiation 전, 후에 진공도 5$\times$10-7torr irradiation 후에 emitter tip의 뚜렷한 기하학적 모양의 변화를 볼 수는 없었지만, I-V 특성이 향상 되는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

This power proposes a new sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal brushless DC motor generally requiring mechanical position or speed sensor. For this an indirect rotor position sensing method from the back emf waveform of non-conducting phase is explained. Back emf waveform of non-conducting is obtained from analysing terminal voltage created by making Y-connection. And an experiment is implemented with a driving system which use 87c196mc microcontroller having a peripheral associated with 3-phase signals and inverter composed of Power MOSFET. The experimental results show the validity and practicality of the proposed sensorless drive.

An experimental study was performed for the analysis of frequency-equivalence ratio correlation in the methane-air premixed flame influenced by ultrasonic standing wave. The propagating flame was caught by high-speed Schlieren photography, and the variation of flame-behavior including the flame structure was investigated in detail employing a post-processing analysis of the high-speed images. It was found that a structural variation and propagation-velocity augmentation of the methane-air premixed flame by the intervention of ultrasonic standing wave were more caused off around the stoichiometry. Also, a dependency of the flame behaviors on the driving frequency and equivalence ratio of the reactants was confirmed.

본 논문에서는 2단 AC/DC 컨버터와 단일단 AC/DC 컨버터가 가지고 있는 단점들을 개선 할 수 있는 새로운 준 단일 전력단 컨버터를 제안한다. DC/DC 단으로는 동적 특성이 좋은 LLC 컨버터를 채용하여 별도의 제어기 없이 고정 주파수 및 고정 Duty(50%) 발생기에 의해 Open Loop로 구동 시킴으로써 저가격화 및 고효율화를 획득 할 수 있다. 또한 역률개선단은 Boost 컨버터를 채용하고 간단한 제어기 1개를 사용하여 역률 개선과 동시에 DC/DC 단의 최종출력을 제어한다. 기존 2단 PFC 컨버터와는 다르게 PFC 링크전압을 Feedback 하지 않고 DC/DC 단의 최종 출력을 Feedback 하여 제어한다. 제안된 회로의 우수성 검증을 위해 600W급 시작품을 이용한 실험 결과를 제시한다.

Measurements with a Langmuir probe, which are the most often used procedures of plasma diagnostics, can disturb plasma flows and change its characteristics quite a little because the probe should be inserted into thermal flowing plasmas. In this study, we calculated the characteristics of thermal plasmas with and without the probe into an atmospheric argon free-burning arc numerically, and investigated aerodynamic and thermal disturbances with temperature and axial velocity distributions. For the modelling of thermal plasmas, we have made two governing equations, which are on the thermal-flow and electromagnetic fields, coupled together with a commercial CFD package and user-coded subroutines. It was found that thermal disturbances happened to both sides of the probe, before and behind, seriously. Due to the aerodynamic disturbance, we could find that there were the stagnation point in front of the probe and the wake behind it. Therefore, aerodynamic and thermal disturbances caused by the probe insertion should be considered to increase the reliability of the probe diagnostics.
