In this study, a numerical simulation of a vanadium redox flow battery was investigated for reactions involving an electrochemical species using comprehensive conservation laws and a kinetic model. For a 3-D geometry of the cell, the distributions of electric potential, vanadium concentration, overpotential, and ohmic loss were calculated. The cell temperature and initial vanadium ion concentration were set as variables. The voltage and electrochemical loss were calculated for each variable. The effects of each variable's impact on the electrochemical performance of a vanadium redox flow battery was numerically analyzed using the calculated overpotential in the electrode and the ohmic loss in the electrolyte phase. The cell temperature increased from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ when the voltage efficiency decreased from 89.34% to 87.29%. The voltage efficiency increased from 88.65% to 89.25% when the vanadium concentration was changed from $1500mol/m^3$ to $3000mol/m^3$.

가전제품의 제조와 관련된 열공학문제를 몇가지 예를 들어 검토하여 보았다. 제품은 강도가 커야 하고 설계공차 내에 들어야 하는 등의 조건을 만족함과 아울러, 그의 생산공정은 가급적으로 쉬워야 하고 재료를 절감할 수 있어야 한다. 제조공정 중의 열공학적인 과정이 제품 구조내의 열응력분포를 결정지우므로 열전달과정의 세심한 제어가 필요하다. 근래에 들어 컴퓨터의 발달로 열전달과정의 수치해석이 제조장비의 설계와 제조과정의 최적제어의 보조수단으로 등장하고 있다. 실제의 문제에서는 대부분 삼차원형상을 가지고 있고, 시스템을 고려하여야 하므로 여러 가지 현상이 연계되어 있다. 그러므로 수치계산에는 여전히 종래의 실험기법에 의한 실험식들과 여러 가지 축적된 경험의 도움을 필요로 한다. 이러한 측면에서 볼 때, 종래의 실험식, 경험식, 물성치, 기존의 수치해석의 결과 등을 컴퓨터에 데이터베이스(data base)화하여 소위 전문가 시 스템(expert system)을 구축하는 편이 단순히 공정의 극히 일부분 현상들을 수치해석하는 작업 보다 선행되어야 함이 바람직할 수 있다. 또한, 가전제품의 제조에는 열공학 또는 열전달현상에만 따로 주의를 기울이지 말고, 재질의 선택, 그의 유변학(rheology), 구조내의 균열문제 등을 연계 하여 고려하여야 한다.

The heat transfer, pressure loss, and thermal performance in a cooling channel were evaluated for various new fan-shaped pin-fin geometries using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The turbulence was modeled using the low-Reynolds-number SST turbulence model in the Reynolds number range of 5,000-100,000. The numerical results for the area-averaged Nusselt numbers were validated by comparing them with the experimental data under the same conditions. A parametric study for three types of fan-shaped pin-fin geometries was performed with two parameters, namely, the leading and trailing reduction angles.

반도체에서 양자점이 포함된 나노복합체의 전자적 구조와 성질에 대한 연구는 기본적인 양자 물리적 현상을 이해하고 전자소자 및 광소자의 다양한 응용 분야를 파생할 수 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 갖고 있다. 나노복합체를 구성하는 각각의 양자우물과 양자점에 대한 실험과 이론에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되고 있으며, 양자우물 안에 양자점이 삽입된 나노복합체에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡한 상태이다. 또한 양자우물 안에 자발 형성된 양자점이 삽입된 나노복합체에 대한 전기적 특성 및 광학적 특성에 대한 연구는 많으나, 양자우물 안에 삽입된 양자점에 대한 전자적 구조에 대한 연구는 거의 없다. 양자우물 안에 양자점을 형성한 나노복합체 구조를 사용하여 제작한 전자소자와 광소자의 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는 이 복합 구조의 전자적 성질에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 단일 양자우물 안에 자발 형성된 InAs 양자점을 포함한 나노복합체의 전자적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 변형효과와 비포물선효과를 포함한 전자적 부띠 에너지에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. InAs 양자점은 20 nm의 직경을 갖고 있으며, GaAs 기판위에 버퍼층과 AlAs 층을 사용한 양자우물 구조에 삽입되었다. 단일 양자우물 안에 삽입된 양자점의 전자적 구조는 형상 의존 변형효과와 비포물선 효과를 고려한 쉬뢰딩거 방정식을 삼차원 가변 메시 유한차분법을 사용하여 수치해석 방법으로 분석하였다. 수치해석 방법으로 양자우물의 우물 폭의 영향을 받는 양자점의 크기변화에 따라 삼차원적인 전자 및 정공의 부띠 에너지와 기저상태 및 여기 상태의 파동 함수를 계산하였다. 이러한 결과는 나노복합체 안에 형성된 InAs 양자점의 전자적 특성을 이해하는데 도움을 주며, InAs가 포함된 나노복합체를 사용한 전자 소자와 광소자 연구에 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있다.

A three-dimensional inviscid flow solver has been developed based on unstructured meshes for the investigation of the effect of the external stores on the tail surfaces of a generic fighter aircraft. The numerical method is based on a vertex-centered finite-volume discretization and an implicit point Gauss-Seidel time integration. The calculations were made for a steady flow and the computed results were compared with experimental data to validate the flow solver. An unsteady time-accurate computation of the generic fighter aircraft with external stores at transonic flight conditions showed that the external stores cause unsteady loading on the horizontal tail surface due to the mutual interference between their wake and the horizontal tail surface. It was shown that downward deflection of the trailing edge flap significantly reduces the undesirable interference effect.

In this paper, we present a procedure to obtain the transient scattering response from three-dimensional arbitrarily shaped and closed conducting bodies using time-domain magnetic field integral equation (TD-MFIE) with triangular patch functions. This approach results in accurate and comparably stable transient responses from conducting scatterers. Detailed mathematical steps are included, and several numerical results are presented and compared with results from a time-domain electric field integral equation (TD-EFIE) and the inverse courier transform solution of the frequency domain results.

In this paper, we present various combined field integral equation (CFIE) formulations for the analysis of electromagnetic scattering from arbitrarily shaped three dimensional homogeneous dielectric body in the frequency domain. For the CFIE case, we propose eight separate formulations with different combinations of testing functions that result in sixteen different formulations of CFIE by neglecting one of testing terms. One of the objectives of this paper is to illustrate that not all CFIE are valid methodologies in removing defects, which occur at a frequency corresponding to an internal resonance of the structure. Numerical results involving far scattered fields and radar cross section (RCS) are presented for a dielectric sphere to illustrate which formulation works and which do not.

Collision behavior of clash cushion occurs for a second of less than 0.4sec usually so that it is too hard to calculate numerically. Therefore, for development of trash cushion, it rely on full-scale vehicle crash test without any design procedure. Occupant safety indices if calculated from acquired data by data measurement system and collision behavior of vehicle and crash cushion is filming using high-speed camera in the crash test. But practical ufo scope of high-speed camera is limited and it is not using to calculated the occupant safety indices or analyzed the energy dissipated mechanism of crash cushion. This work is to estimate to be suitable or not for compare the data from measurement system with the data from high-speed camera. And also it is to grope for practical use scheme to calculation of occupant safety indices or analysis of collision behavior.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of 3-dimensional (3-D) radiotherapy and the radiographic parameters of 2-dimensional (2-D) radiotherapy such as central lung distance (CLD) and maximal heart distance (MHD). Materials and Methods: We analyzed 110 patients who were treated with postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer. A two-field tangential technique, a three-field technique, and the reverse hockey stick method were used. The radiation dose administered to whole breast or the chest wall was 50.4 Gy, whereas a 45 Gy was administered to the supraclavicular field. The NTCPs of the heart and lung were calculated by the modified Lyman model and the relative seriality model. Results: For all patients, the NTCPs of radiation-induced pneumonitis and cardiac mortality were 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively. The NTCP of radiation-induced pneumonitis was higher in patients treated with the reverse hockey stick method than in those treated by other two techniques (0.0%, 0.0%, 3.1%, p<0.001). The NTCP of radiation-induced pneumonitis increased with CLD. The NTCP of cardiac mortality increased with MHD ($R^2=0.808$). Conclusion: We found a close correlation between the NTCP of 3-D radiotherapy and 2-D radiographic parameters. Our results are useful to reanalyze the previous 2-D based clinical reports about breast radiation therapy complications as a viewpoint of NTCP.

Recently, the growth in the propulsion power and propeller size of typical energy saving ships has resulted in severe damages of the oil-lubricated stern tube bearing. Consequently, a more rational analytical method for the design of the shafting system is required. In this paper an analytical method applicable to the design of the oil-lubricated stern tube bearing and shafting system is presented. The method consists of the finite element analysis of the shafting system and the oil film hydrodynamics. The shafting system is modeled as a three-dimensional problem using beam elements taking account for the steady components of thrust, lateral forces and moments of the propeller as well as the elastic foundation effects. The oil film hydrodynamics is modeled as a two-dimensional problem. Equal and retangular elements employing hourglass control method are used for the construction of the oil film fluidity matrix. To search the quasi-static equilibrium position between the propeller shaft and the oil film, an optimization technique is employed. Some numerical results based on the proposed method are compared with some measured and numerical data available. They show acceptable agreements with the data.
