The present study deals with the investigation about the improvement of performance of tidal stream turbine blade (HAT) with tip rake. HAT impeller has sometimes experienced noise and vibration by Tip vortex which causes even erosion and severe efficiency loss to the blade, The newly proposed tip rake impeller can make the tip vortex week compared with a normal impeller by preventing the three dimensional effect at tip region. In order to find out the optimum rake impeller, three cases have been designed and the performance of the designed rake impellers has been validated by the commercial CFD code(Fluent). The efficiency of optimized rake impeller was up to 4.6% higher than the conventional impeller. The more parametric study for high efficiency and good cavitation performance is expected to be conducted in a near future.

Research on low height noise barriers installed adjacent to railways to reduce the height of the noise barrier has actively progressed in many countries except Korea. The performance of low height noise barriers is evaluated to identify barrier acoustic characteristics using a scale model of the barrier in the present research. As shown in the experimental results, if it is considered the installation of 'ㄱ' type noise barrier, sound absorption material should be installed on both the top and the vertical surfaces of the barrier to improve insertion loss. Also, an analytical method such as the boundary element method, rather than a simple empirical equation, is required to evaluate the insertion loss of the barrier. In addition, noise level increase in passenger position is very small if a barrier with sound absorption material is installed. Finally, the two dimensional boundary element method is implemented to predict the acoustic characteristics of the low height barrier; the possibility of the application is confirmed from a comparison of the results of measurements and predictions.

In this paper, a new two-phase space vector RPWM(Random PWM) is proposed. In the proposed RPWM, each of two-phase PWM pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. Based on the space vector modulation technique, the duty ratio of the pulses is calculated. Along with the randomization of the PWM pulses, we can obtain the effects of spread spectra of inverter output voltage, d.c link current and audible switching acoustic noise as in the case of randomly changed switching frequency. To verily the validity of the proposed two-phase RPWM scheme, the experiment based on the Cl67 micro-controller was executed. The performance of the proposed scheme was compared with traditional PWM schemes experimentally.

급속한 산업화로 인하여 에너지 부족 문제가 대두되고 있는 가운데 에너지 저감 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 국내 반도체 공정의 배기계통에서 소비되는 에너지는 전체 공정에 소비되는 에너지중 상당량에 달하며 10%의 에너지 절감은 연간 1000억원 이상의 비용절감 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 반도체 공정 배기계통은 진공펌프의 특성, 챔버의 부피, 도관의 구조(직경, 길이, 형상), 진공재료의 기체방출 등 여러 가지 요소의 복합적인 영향으로 그 상태가 달라지므로 보다 효과적인 공정의 운용과 에너지 절감을 위해 반도체 공정의 복합 상태 진단기술 개발이 요구되고 있으며 그중 큰 비중을 차지하는 드라이펌프의 실시간 모니터링 기술의 개발이 시급하다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 공정의 복합 상태 진단기술 개발에 대한 기초 연구로서 반도체 공정 배기계통의 conductance 및 유량 변화에 대한 드라이펌프의 특성을 이론적 계산으로 얻어진 결과와 실험을 통하여 얻어진 결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 진공펌프의 기본 특성은 한국표준과학연구원에서 국제규격에 따라 도달진공도, 배기속도, 소비전력, gas load, 소음, 진동 등을 분석하였고, 나노종합기술원의 PECVD 장비(chamber A: amorphous silicon 및 loadlock chamber)에 챔버의 부피, 도관의 구조, 공정가스의 유량 등을 측정하여 simulation 하였으며, 실제 측정값은 LabVIEW 프로그래밍으로 자동화 된 MFC를 이용하여 실제 공정 상태를 모사하였다. 실험은 PECVD의 특성을 고려하여 질소분위기에서 CDG (Capacitance Diaphragm Gauge)를 사용하였다.

As a compression wave is emitted from a duct, an impulsive wave generates and causes an impulsive noise that is at present a serious environmental noise pollution. In order to clarify the acoustic characteristics of the noise and to reduce their pressure levels, a series of model experiments were conducted on the impulsive waves emitted from an open end of a shock tube. The impulsive waves with various intensities were obtained by controlling the operation pressure ratio of the shock tube. Various kinds of silencers such as the exit boxes with baffle plates, were applied to the duct exit to reduce the impulsive noises. The effects of geometry of silencers and shock Mach number on the noise reduction were clarified. From the measurements of sound pressure level, it was found that installing the baffle plate into the exit box is effective in lowering the noise level at far fields, and that the recommendable geometries of silencer are L/D=1, H/D=1 and H/D=0.75.

The influence of the visual information on the sound perception would be considerable. Furthermore, if the sound perception ranges in noisiness or annoyance beyond the loudness, it will depend much more on the shape of the visual information. This paper aims to estimate the influence of the several kinds of visual information on the perception of road traffic noise by means of the psycho-acoustic test method. The findings of present study on the influence of visual information on subjective noise perception are summarized as follows: Presenting visual images of mild and comfortable scenery reduced the noise perception reaction at the less noisy environments not exceeding 65 dB(A). At highly noisy environments exceeding 65 dB(A), however, the noise perception can be reduced by strong image of waterfall. Even eliminating the road traffic image may be helpful. Visual image of waterfall reduced the noise perception at all levels. It is inferred that the road traffic noise perception can be effectively ameliorated by presenting strong and real landscape images at any noisy environment.

A gas turbine is the main equipment used in a combined heat and power plant. It generates a high sound pressure noise level. To reduce the noise level, an enclosure is installed around the turbine. The sound insulation performance of the enclosure affects the amount of external noise reduction. In this study, a sound transmission loss analysis is performed using the boundary element method to predict sound insulation performance according to the numbers and shapes of the supporter. Radiated noise analysis is also performed for the main external points of the enclosure using ray-acoustics. The results of these analyses are presented and a design plan is proposed that reduces the sound pressure noise level of the enclosure.

In case of urban blasting works at near neighbors, the size of one blasting should be minimized to reduce the vibration and noise. However, the complaints is not decreased due to increased numbers of blasting per day so that the period of blasting works become long. This case study is related to urban apartment construction site. In order to overcome the weakness of general detonators which is required many blasting times to meet the day productivity, we have been applied deck-charge blasting method using electronic detonators and then we successfully increased the day productivity with much less blasting times. Hence, we had effectively achieved the declined neighbors'complaints and shortening construction period.

To improve maintenance, environmental issues, efficiency, and economics to supplement the current air braking problems, braking power related to the entire driving range of electric brakes was presented in all areas from stop to high speed. As a result, the efficiency of braking power and cutting-edge technology have expanded energy use, and through this paper, noise in all driving ranges can be reduced, and maintenance costs can be reduced. The traction motor must bring the variable speed of the traction motor and the terminal voltage of the traction motor to drive high-speed driving characteristics that control the maximum voltage of the inverter. Therefore, we studied driving and brake changes through simulation.

Sound barrier walls are one of the most effective alternatives for reducing environmental noise on roads and railways in the city center. The insertion loss of the sound barrier against road traffic noise is the sum of the sound transmission loss, sound absorption loss, and sound energy reduction due to the diffraction attenuation of the sound barrier. The sound transmission loss of the sound barrier is one of the important factors that determine the insertion loss of the sound barrier and is a basic indicator that determines the performance of the sound barrier. Nevertheless, there is not a separate standard in Korea for measuring the acoustic transmission loss of sound barrier panels. There are only a few conditions in KS F 4770 series that stipulates on the general material of sound barrier panels. This thesis examines the necessity of the acoustic transmission loss measurement and evaluation standards of sound barrier walls, and seeks a measurement method in a free sound field (anechoic chamber) sound receiving room considering the characteristics of sound barrier walls installed in external spaces, unlike indoor building materials. In addition, a single number evaluation method using a reference spectrum was proposed so that the sound insulation effect according to various installation places such as roadside or railroad side can be easily displayed.
