Heat regenerator attached in small-scale regenerative radiant tube burner was designed using the theoretical computation code and was confirmed the performance of waste heat recovery ratio. From the computation, when ceramic ball of 4-5kg was used, temperature efficiency and available waste heat recovery ratio were predicted 80% and 70%, respectively. Similar efficiencies were obtained from the experiments using LPG. However, since exhaust gas temperature entered into regenerator was below 850$^{\circ}C$ which was moth lower than that we expected. air preheating temperature was lowered below 800$^{\circ}C$.

A three-dimensional(3D) equivalent continuum modeling was performed to analyze hydraulic behavior of rock mass considering discontinuities by using DFN model and smeared fracture model. DFN model was generated by FLAC3D and smeared fracture model was applied by using FISH functions, which is built-in functions in FLAC3D, for equivalent continuum model of fractured rock mass. Comparative analysis with 3DEC, which is for discontinuum analysis, was conducted to verify reliability of equivalent continuum analysis by using FLAC3D. Similar results of hydraulic analysis under the same conditions could be achieved. Equivalent continuum analysis of fractured rock mass by using DFN model was implemented to compare with existing analytical methods for inflow into the tunnel.

Recent systems contain hardware and software components together for faster execution speed and less power consumption. In conventional hardware and software co-design, the ratio of software and hardware was divided by the designer's empirical knowledge. To find optimal results, designers iteratively reconfigure accelerators and applications and simulate it. Simulating iteratively while making design change is time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a hardware and software co-design platform for energy-efficient FPGA accelerator design. The proposed platform makes it easy for designers to find an appropriate hardware ratio by automatically generating application program code and hardware code by parameterizing the components of the accelerator. The co-design platform based on the Vitis unified software platform runs on a server with Xilinx Alveo U200 FPGA card. As a result of optimizing the multiplication accelerator for two matrices with 1000 rows, execution time was reduced by 90.7% and power consumption was reduced by 56.3%.

In the current medical field, lead is widely used as a radiation shield. However, the lead weight is very heavy, so wearing protective clothing such as apron is difficult to wear for long periods of time and there is a problem with the danger of lethal toxicity in humans. Recently, many studies have been conducted to develop substitute materials of lead to resolve these problems. As a substitute materials for lead, barium(Ba) and iodine(I) have excellent shielding ability. But, It has characteristics emitting characteristic X-rays from the energy area near 30 keV. For patients or radiation workers, shielding materials is often made into contact with the human body. Therefore, the characteristic X-rays generated by the shielding material are directly exposured in the human body, which increases the risk of increasing radiation absorbed dose. In this study, we have developed the FLUKA transport code, one of the most suitable elements of radiation transport codes, to remove the characteristic X-rays generated by barium or iodine. We have verified the reliability of the shielding fraction of the structure of the structure shielding by comparing with the MCPDX simulations conducted as a prior study. Using the MCNPX and FLUKA, the double layer shielding structures with the various thickness combination consisting of barium sulphate ($BaSO_4$) and bismuth oxide($Bi_2O_3$) are designed. The accuracy of the type shown in IEC 61331-1 was geometrically identical to the simulation. In addition, the transmission spectrum and absorbed dose of the shielding material for the successive x-rays of 120 kVp spectra were compared with lead. In results, $0.3mm-BaSO_4/0.3mm-Bi_2O_3$ and $0.1mm-BaSO_4/0.5mm-Bi_2O_3$ structures have been absorbed in both 33 keV and 37 keV characteristic X-rays. In addition, for high-energy X-rays greater than 90 keV, the shielding efficiency was shown close to lead. Also, the transport code of the FLUKA's photon transport code was showed cut-off on low-energy X-rays(below 33keV) and is limited to computerized X-rays of the low-energy X-rays. But, In high-energy areas above 40 keV, the relative error with MCNPX was found to be highly reliable within 6 %.

Since the wireless smart card has played a main role in the identification security application for the building access; this research has its purpose to improve the performance of the smart card system and aims to offer more convenient to user. The contactless cards do not require insertion into a card reader and can work up to centimeters away from the reading device. To be able to cope with this performance the controlling of power consumption through the adaptive modulation and error control is needed. This paper addresses a forward error control (FEC) scheme with the adaptive Reed-Solomon code rate and an M-ary frequency shift keying (M-FSK) modulation scheme with the varying symbol size M over the link. The result of comparing energy efficiencies of adaptive error correction and adaptive modulation to other various static schemes shows to save over 50% of the energy consumption.

In this paper a realistic bounding method for flooding analysis following rupture of large size of thanks and piping is defined. Mass and energy release during main feedwater line break accident is analyzed with RETRAN code. It is modeled that the main feed water control valve is closed in 5.0 seconds after reactor trip. In result of the analysis, largest mass and energy is discharged at 70% reactor power. The flood sources for main feedwater room are calculated when piping failure occurs in the high energy line and medium energy line. Based on the result of flood level (1.43m), it is investigated that all of the safety-related environmental qualification equipments are well located above the flood level.

폴리케톤 섬유는 제조 원료로 에틸렌과 일산화탄소를 사용하여 합성한 공중합체 물질로 생산에 필요한 비용을 크게 절약할 수 있다. 폴리케톤 섬유는 p-아라미드 섬유에 근접하는 고강도 고탄성을 가진 섬유로 우수한 내화학성을 가지며, 고무와의 계면접착이 우수하다는 특성을 가지고 있어 MRG(Mechanical Rubber Goods)용 보강재 및 타이어코드로의 사용에 대한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 그러나 폴리케톤 섬유의 생산 및 산업현장에서의 활용은 아직 적은 상태로 그 특성에 대한 연구가 미흡한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폴리케톤 섬유의 기본적인 특성 분석을 하고, 폴리케톤 소재의 표면을 UV 조사와 인산을 이용한 산처리 방법을 이용하여 처리하고 표면처리에 따른 폴리케톤 섬유의 표면특성 및 물성특성을 분석하였다. UV 조사 처리시 에너지 변화와 산처리시의 pH조건 및 처리시간의 변화에 따른 표면의 미세구조를 SEM과 AFM 등을 이용하여 관찰한 결과, UV 에너지와 산처리 조건의 증가에 따라 표면요철이 증가를 보이다가 과도한 처리에 의하여 표면에 degradation이 발생하였다. 또한 UV 에너지 및 산처리 조건에 따른 열적, 화학적 그리고 물리적 특성의 변화를 분석하였다.

This paper describe inner-collision-characteristics of the ship structural plates when the projectile collides with plate-material using LS-DYNA3D which is general and useful finite element analysis tool in collision problem fields. The series analyses were carried out from high speed(41.56m／s-118.9m／s) to ultrahigh speed(544.05m／s-800m／s). Through these analyses we can approach empirical formula to estimate penetration limit of the ship structural plates with which the projectile of various speed collides.

Prediction of energy absorption for bow structure is important for a design of protective structures against collision. For the crushing behaviour of basic element of energy absorption, the plastic mechanism method is applied. The ship's crushing strength of bow section is obtained by summing the energy dissipated in all individual elements. The theoretical predictions are compared with experimental results for ship's bow models published with experimental results for ship's bow models published in the references, and it is observed that the present prediction method of crushing strength correlates well with the experimental results.

Along with the complexity and size growth of embedded software, it is critical to meet the nonfunctional requirements such as power consumption as well as functional requirements such as correctness. This paper, apart from the existing studies of source code-based power analysis, proposes an approach of model-based power analysis using UML 2.0. Specially, we focus on the development of energy library to analyze the power consumption of embedded software. Our energy library supports model-based power analysis, and also supports the easy adaption for the change of embedded application.
