The automated prediction system for seasonal tropical cyclone (TC) activity is established at the National Typhoon Center of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) to provide effective operation and control of the system for user who lacks knowledge of the system. For automation of the system, two procedures which include subjective decisions by user are performed in advance, and their output data are provided as input data. To provide the capability to understand the operational processes for operational user, the input and output data are summarized with each process, and the directory structure is reconstructed following KMA's standard. We introduce a user interface using namelist input parameters to effectively control operational conditions which is fixed or should be manually set in the previous version of the prediction system. To operationally use early prediction which become available through the automation, its performances are evaluated according to initial condition dates. As a result, high correlations between the observed and predicted TC counts are kept for all track clusters even though advancing the initial condition date from May to January.

The role of empirical equation to predict the performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is important. The activation, ohmic and mass transfer losses were separated in a polarization curve, and the curve fitting according to each region was performed using Kim's model and Hao's model. Changes of each loss were compared according to operation variables of the temperature, pressure, oxygen concentration and membrane thickness. The existing model showed a good fitting convergence, but less fitting accuracy in the separated loss region. A new model using the convergence coefficient was suggested to improve the accuracy of performance prediction of fuel cells of which results were demonstrated.

In addition t improved availability, replication of data can enhance performance of distributed real-time transaction processing system by allowing transactions initiated at multiple node to be processed concurrently. To satisfy both the consistency and real-time constraints, it is necessary to integrate concurrency control and atomic commitment protocols with time-driven scheduling methods. blocking caused by existing concurrency control protocols is incompatible with time-driven scheduling because they cannot schedule transactions to meet given deadlines. To maintain consistency of replicated data and to provide a high degree of schedulability and predictability , the proposed time-driven scheduling methods integrate optimistic concurrency control protocols that minimize the duration of blocking and produce the serialization by reflecting the priority transactions. The atomicity of transactions is maintained to ensure successful commitment in distributed environment. Specific time-driven scheduling techniqueare discussed, together with an analysis of the performance of this scheduling.

미니트램(Mini-Tram)은 승하차 시간 동안 정거장에서의 무선급전 방식에 의한 급속충전(약, 2분 30초 이내)을 통해 에너지를 공급받으며, 운행 시 차상에 설치된 에너지저장 매체(LIC: Lithium-Ion Capacitor)로부터 전기에너지를 공급받아서 운행된다. 차량에 요구되는 에너지 소모량을 분석하고 이에 맞춰서 저장 매체의 직-병렬 구성 및 전력 변환 장치(Regulator 및 DC-DC 컨버터 등)를 설계하는 것은 전기 구동 차량인 미니트램의 설계에서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 본 논문에서는 미니트램 시스템을 개발하는 과정에서 수행된 에너지공급시스템의 사양 선정을 위한 에너지 소모량 예측과 더불어 이와 관련된 주행저항 및 주행성능 분석에 대해서 다룬다.

A design method has been developed for a Stirling engine with a tubular heater and cooler and a screen type regenerator. This paper provides a design procedure to determine the thermodynamic states and the geometric configurations of the Stirling engine for residential heat pumps. The major design is concerned with the working spaces, i.e. compression and expansion spaces and the heat exchangers such as the heater, the cooler and the regenerator. The Schmidt analysis has been employed to obtain the mass flow rates and heat transfer requirements of the system. The performance analysis of a model Stirling engine was performed by Martini-Weiss program to prove the validity of this design method. The results obtained indicate that this design method is valid for the Stirling engine conceptual design and performance analysis.

In this study, LIPCA-S2 actuator with a piezoelectric single crystal layer and a carbon/epoxy layer was designed and evaluated to increase actuation performance of piezo-composite unimorph actuator. A curvature change model generated by the induced strain of a piezoelectric layer was used to predict the tip displacement of the piezo-composite unimorph cantilever. However, we found that there was big difference between the predicted and the measured tip displacement of LIPCA-S2 cantilever actuator when we used the previous linear prediction model. A new prediction model considering the change of piezoelectric strain coefficient and elastic modulus for the compression stress variation of the PMN-29PT single crystal layer was used and it was found that the difference between the predicted and the measured tip displacement reduced considerably.

최근 무인기와 초소형비행체를 위한 프로펠러 연구수요가 증가하고 있다. 일반적인 프로펠러와 다른 점은 저 레이놀즈수 유동조건에서 구동된다는 점이다. 본 연구는 저 레이놀즈수 유동조건에서 비행하는 인간 동력 항공기를 위한 프로펠러 공력설계 및 성능해석에 관한 연구다. 저 레이놀즈수 유동조건에서 발생하는 공력천이현상을 고려한 3차원 공력특성 변화를 정확히 반영하지 못하는 상용 프로그램의 단점을 보완하여 프로펠러 공력설계 및 성능해석이 가능한 프로그램을 개발했다. 개발된 프로그램으로 인간 동력 항공기 설계요구조건에 충족하는 프로펠러 공력설계 및 성능해석을 수행하였다. 또한 프로펠러 회전수와 장착각도 변화에 따른 성능변화를 예측하여 비행당시 상황에 따라 비행 가능한 성능출력이 가능하도록 하였다.

This paper aims to examine the effect of rotational fluid motion about the efficiency of the gas - liquid ejector, which is a core unit in a ship equilibrium water treatment system. The ejector is a device for injecting ozone into ship equilibrium by the negative pressure generated by exchange of momentum between water and ozone. The existing ejector ejects the driving fluid with a simple form. In this paper, however, a rotation induction device is applied to the driving nozzle so that the driving fluid can be rotated and injected. To investigate the flow characteristics by the rotational movement of the driving fluid, CFD was used. The pressure and flow rate of the driving fluid, the negative pressure and suction flow rate of the suction fluid in the suction part, and the discharge pressure were predicted. On the basis of the results, the efficiency of the ejector using the rotation induction system was 22.25%, which was about 1.7% better than that of the existing ejector. Finally, to verify the feasibility of the CFD, an experiment was conducted on the ejector using the rotation induction device and the results were similar to those of the CFD.

A long-range prediction system of tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the western North Pacific (WNP) has been operated in the National Typhoon Center of the Korea Meteorological Administration since 2012. The model forecasts the spatial distribution of TC tracks averaged over the period June~October. In this study, we separately developed TC prediction models for summer (June~August) and autumn (September~November) period based on the current operating system. To perform the three-month WNP TC activity prediction procedure readily, we modified the shell script calling in environmental variables automatically. The user can apply the model by changing these environmental variables of namelist parameter in consideration of their objective. The validations for the two seasons demonstrate the great performance of predictions showing high pattern correlations between hindcast and observed TC activity. In addition, we developed a post-processing script for deducing TC activity in the Korea emergency zone from final forecasting map and its skill is discussed.

In this study, analysis of the flow characteristics of pintle-controlled nozzle with split-line TVC system and the thrust performance prediction was performed. The numerical computation was verified by comparing the thrust coefficient derived from the analysis results with the experimental data. By applying the same numerical analysis technique, the flow characteristics of nozzle were confirmed according to operating altitude, pintle stroke position and TVC angle with the 1/10 scale. As the TVC angle increased, thrust loss occurred and the tendency of AF was different depending on the position of the pintle stroke. Based on the analysis results, the relation of thrust coefficient was derived by applying the response surface methods. The thrust performance model with a slight difference of 1.2% on average from the analysis result was generated.
