Aluminum plate-fin heat exchangers (ALPHEs) are widely used in petroleum and gas-treated processes. The performance of the ALPHE is strongly dependent on the distribution characteristics of the header and the distributors of each fluid. In this paper, we define the aspect ratio in the side-entry type distributor and analyze the distribution characteristics using CFD-based numerical methods. The phenomena of velocity deviation and distribution with the aspect ratio and the inlet Reynolds number were analyzed by applying relative and absolute maldistribution parameters, and an optimum aspect ratio with the inlet Reynolds number was presented.

일반적으로 마이크로 웨이브 영역에 사용되는 마이크로스트립 전송로는 후막 전도 선을 이용하여 RF 모듈을 구현할수 있으나 선폭의 고해상도가 전체 특성에 큰 영향을 미치 므로 고정도의 박막을 이용한 RF 모듈이 많이 개발되고 있다. 따라서 본 논고에서는 박막 제조기술을 이용하여 마이크로 웨이브 하이브리드의 한 종류인 WILKINSON 전력 분배기 를 개발하였고 공정 변수를 최적화함으로써 고특성 고신회성의 전력 분배기를 구현할 수 있 었다. 먼저 전도선의 두께의 영향을 고찰하였으며 제조 공정에 있어 GROUND 방법 /HOUSING 형상을 개선함으로써 용이하게 전력 분배기를 제조하였다. 마지막으로 MIL 규 격에 따른 전력분배기의 신뢰성 시험 항목을 제시하였고 이에 따라 정격 전력을 계산, 측정 하였다.

In this paper, a systematic beam splitter design for multi-beam forming is proposed. The objective of this research is to a design beam splitter that splits and focuses scattering microwaves into intense beams in multiple directions. It is difficult to split multi-beam to non-specific directions with theoretical approaches. Therefore, instead of using transformation optics(TO), which is a widely used process for controlling electromagnetic wave propagation, we used a systematic design process called the phase field design method to obtain an optimal topological structure of beam splitter. The objective function is to maximize the norm of electric field of the target areas of each direction. To avoid island structure and obtain the structure in one body, volume constraint is added to the optimization problem by using augmented Lagrangian. Target frequency is set to X-band 10GHz. The optimal beam splitter performed well in multi-beam forming and the transported electric energy of target areas improved. A frequency dependency test was conducted in the X-band to determine effective frequency range.

In this study, the distribution characteristics of diffusers with various shapes that are installed in an open-type thermal storage system are numerically investigated. Four diffusers are designed to distribute a working fluid evenly through the holes on bifurcated pipes. Three-dimensional steady simulations of incompressible laminar flow are conducted using commercial software (ANSYS-FLUENT). The simulation results show that both the bidirectional header-type diffuser and the H-type diffuser distribute the working fluid evenly whereas both the unidirectional and the bidirectional diffusers distribute the working fluid unevenly. The results also show that the H-type diffuser requires a higher head of pump than the bidirectional header-type diffuser. Therefore, the bidirectional header-type diffuser is recommended for use because it enables even distribution of the working fluid and requires a low head of pump.

본 논문은 퍼지 기반의 토크 분배 함수를 이용한 스위치드 릴럭턴스 모터의 토크 맥동 저감 기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 스위치드 릴럭턴스 모터의 토크 맥동 저감 기법은 선행된 실험결과와 모터 파라미터의 변화에 대한 관측을 통해 오프라인으로 토크 분배 함수를 최적화한다. 이때, 모터의 높은 인덕턴스는 전류가 토크 분배 함수를 잘 추종하지 못하게 하여 의도치 않은 토크 맥동을 유발한다. 게다가 오프라인으로 토크 분배 함수를 계산하기 때문에 모델의 오차 및 변화에 따라 보상 성능이 저하 될 수 있다. 제안하는 제어기법은 퍼지 제어기를 이용하여 순시적으로 토크 분배 함수의 형상을 정정함으로써 토크 맥동을 저감한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안하는 제어기법의 우수성을 보인다.

A novel multi-section power divider configuration is proposed to obtain wide-band frequency performance up to microwave frequency region. Design procedures for the proposed microwave broadband power divider are composed of a planar multi-section three-ports hybrid and a waveguide transformer design procedures. The multi-section power divider is based on design theory of the optimum quarter-wave transformer. Furthermore, in order to obtain the broadband isolation performance between the two adjacent output ports, the odd mode equivalent circuit should be matched by using the lossy element such as resistor. The derived design formula for calculating these odd mode matching elements is based on the singly terminated filter design theory. The waveguide transformer section is designed to suppress the propagation of the higher order modes such as waveguide modes due to employing the metallic electric wall. Thus, each section of the designed waveguide transformer should be operated with evanescent mode over the whole design frequency band of the proposed microwave broadband power divider. This paper presents several simulations and experimental results of multi-section power divider to show validity of the proposed microwave broadband power divider configuration. Simulation and experiment show excellent performance of multi section power divider.

The distribution performance of refrigerant distributors in air conditioner evaporators was examined numerically and experimentally. Internal flow analysis of the distributor by CFD found that the distance from the socket to the cone, the angle of the cone and the base area of the cone were the most important factors affecting refrigerant distribution ability and vortex creation. To enhance distribution performance, two distributors with improved internal structures were designed. To test these new structures, distribution performance was also analyzed by CFD and an empirical experiment was carried out using the water-nitrogen. Experimental results on the distribution fraction of each distributor hole showed a good agreement with the results of the CFD analysis. Thus, the new design of the distributors enhanced distribution performance of the refrigerant distributors.

An aircraft power distribution device distributes and controls the power generated by the generator and provides overcurrent protection. There are many defect phenomena that make AC power distribution impossible during flight, which poses a problem in because some electronic equipment cannot be operated. We describe a process of deriving the root cause of defects by using vibration testing equipment to simulate the vibration conditions during aircraft flight, which result in defects. The results show that the cause of the defect is internal wiring damage caused by the vibration of the contactor of the AC power distribution device. Therefore, the shape of the contactor was improved to solve this problem. We also improved the test procedure by performing defect detection tests using vibration testing equipment to detect a faulty contactor. As a result of the improvements, a component certification test and flight test proved that the defect phenomena of the AC electrical master box were improved.

Reverse electrodialysis (RED), which generates electrical energy from the difference in concentration of two solutions, has been actively studied owing to its high potential and the increased interest in renewable energy resulting from the Paris Agreement on climate change. For RED commercialization, its power density needs to be maximized, and therefore various methods have been discussed. In this paper, the power density was measured using various flow shapes based on the aspect ratio, opening ratio, and number of distribution channels. We found that the power density is enhanced with a decrease in the aspect ratio and an increase in the opening ratio and number of distribution channels.

The distributor for hydraulic pumps or motors, particularly radial piston motors, include rotary member which has equally both surface shape for dynamic balance and two fixed members, located in both side of rotary member, which have equal surface shape for dynamic balance and circular ring which use to retain predetermined clearance between two fixed members. Rotary member must have valve part for flow-distribution and can have hydrostatic bearing for excellently dynamic balance. At least two annular steps located on said pressure plate which use in compensation of bolt expansion.
