In this work, the mechanism of contraction and expansion noise generation is investigated, and effective methods are proposed to reduce the occurrence frequency of noise during operation of the refrigerator. First, the frequency spectrum analysis was made by using the sound pressure signal measured in an anechoic chamber to investigate the characteristic of noise and the frequency of occurrence. Second, a thermal deformation analysis was conducted to predict the location of noise source. It is found from the analysis that the biggest thermal deformation occurs in the middle of the left inner case in the freezer room. Following the investigation made, a noise reduction method is proposed. The method is proposed to reduce the contraction and expansion noise by reducing the thermal deformation through increasing ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) thickness in the center of refrigerator.

Refrigerant mischarging is one of the most frequently occurring failure modes in air conditioners, and both undercharging and overcharging degrade cooling performance. Therefore, it is important to accurately determine the amount of charged refrigerant. In this study, a support vector machine (SVM) model was developed to multi-classify the refrigerant mischarge through steady-state identification via fuzzy clustering techniques. For steady-state identification, a fuzzy clustering algorithm was applied to the air conditioner operation data using the difference between moving averages. The identification results using the proposed method were compared with those using existing steady-state determination techniques studied through the inversed Fisher's discriminant ratio (IFDR). Subsequently, the main features were selected using minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) considering the correlation among candidate features, and an SVM multi-classification model was devised using the derived features. The proposed method achieves satisfactory accuracy and robustness from test data collected in the new domain.

In general, the circulation path of the fluidized particles in a CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler is such that the particles entrained from a combustor are collected by a cyclone and recirculated to the combustor via a sealpot which is one of non-mechanical valves. However, when a fluidized bed heat exchanger (FBHE) is installed to additionally absorb heat from the fluidized particles, some particles in the sealpot pass through the FBHE and then flow into the combustor. At this time, in the FBHE operated in the bubbling fluidization regime, if the heat flow is not evenly distributed by poor mixing of the hot particles (800~950 ℃) flowing in from the sealpot, the heat exchanger tubes would be locally heated and then damaged, and the agglomeration of particles could also occur by formation of hot spot. This may affect the stable operation of the circulating fluidized bed. In this study, the unevenness of heat flow arising from structural problems of the FBHE of the domestic D-CFB boiler was found through the operating data analysis and the CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) simulation using Barracuda VR. Actually, the temperature of the heat exchanger tubes in the FBHE showed the closest correlation with the change in particle temperature of the sealpot. It was also found that the non-uniformity of the heat flow was caused by channeling of hot particles flowing in from the sealpot. However, it was difficult to eliminate the non-uniformity even though the fluidizing velocity of the FBHE was increased enough to fluidize hot particles vigorously. When the premixing zone for hot particles flowing in from the sealpot is installed and when the structure is changed through the symmetrization of the FBHE discharge line for particles reflowing into the combustor, the particle mixing and the uniformity of heat flow were found to be increased considerably. Therefore, it could be suggested that the structural modification of the FBHE, related to premixing and symmetric flow of hot particles, is an alternative to reduce the non-uniformity of the heat flow and to minimize the poor particle mixing.

Strengthening the regulation standard of biological nutrient in wastewater treatment plant(WWTP), the necessity of repair of WWTP which is operated in conventional activated sludge process to advanced nutrient removal treatment is increased. However, in full-scale wastewater treatment system, it is not easy to fine the optimized operational condition of the advanced nutrient removal treatment through experiment due to the complex response of various influent conditions and operational conditions. Therefore, in this study, an upgrading design of conventional activated sludge process to advanced nutrient removal process using the modeling and simulation method based on activated sludge model(ASMs) is executed. And a design optimization of advanced treatment process using the response surface method(RSM) is carried out for statistical and systematic approach. In addition, for the operational optimization of full-scale WWTP, a correct analysis about kinetic variables of wastewater treatment is necessary. In this study, through partial least square(PLS) analysis which is one of the multivariable statistical analysis methods, a correlation between the kinetic variables of wastewater treatment system is comprehended, and the most effective variables to the advanced treatment operation result is deducted. Through this study, the methodology for upgrading design and operational optimization of advanced treatment process is provided, and an efficient repair of WWTP to advanced treatment can be expected reducing the design time and costs.

열역학 제 2법칙의 관점의 열역학적 가용에너지인 엑서지 해석법을 적용하여 가솔린, 메탄올, M90 연료를 사용한 전기점화 기관의 성능해석을 수행하였다. 열역학적 사이클 해석을 위하여 사이클을 구성하는 각 과정은 열역학적 모델로 단순화하였고, 크랭크 각도에 따른 실린더의 압력과 작동유체를 구성하는 연료, 공기 및 연소생성물의 열역학적 물성 값들을 이용하여 각 과정에서의 엑서지와 손실 일을 계산하였다. 실험데이터는 단기통 전기점화기관을 가솔린, 메탄올과 M90(메탄을 90%+부탄 10%의 혼합연료)을 연료로 WOT(Wide Open Throttle), MBT(Minimum advanced spark timing for Best Torque), 2500rpm 조건으로 운전하여 측정하였다. 계산에 이용한 자료는 실험으로 측정한 크랭크 각도에 따른 연소실의 압력, 흡입공기와 연료유량, 흡입공기 온도, 냉각수 온도와 배출가스 온도 등이다. 이를 이용하여 각 과정에서의 엑서지와 손실 일을 계산하였으며 각 과정에서의 손실 일은 연소과정에서 가장 크며 팽창과정, 배출과정, 압축과정 및 흡입과정 순으로 크게 나타났다.

An experimental study on the characteristics of a dewatering due to vacuum evaporation in the waste lubrication oil were performed using a lab scale system. Evaporation characteristics were investigated for various performance factors. Results of evaporation characteristics as a function of vacuum pressure, oil temperature, initial water concentration, and nozzle type were obtained. Increasing the oil temperature and altering the nozzle type were found to increase the evaporation rate without increasing vacuum pressure requirement. The best performance is achieved for the nozzle which made porous material.

전력계통을 구성하고 있는 모든 설비들이 항상 운전 가능한 상태에 있지는 않다. 이는 설비들이 일상적인 유지보수를 위해 정지되기도 하고, 과열 등 이상 징후를 발견하여 사전 정비를 위해서 정지되기도 하기 때문이다. 또한 인근 설비의 신중설이나 계통 구성의 변경을 목적으로 정지되기도 한다. 이 처럼 예기치 못한 고장에 의해서가 아닌 의도적인 목적으로 설비를 정지시키는 것을 휴전이라고 하고, 해당 설비의 휴전조건을 반영한 단기간의 관련 계통에 대한 운영방안을 수립하는 것이 휴전검토이다. 한편, 전력계통 계획단계에서는 설비의 휴전상태를 별도로 고려하지 않기 때문에 많은 경우 휴전이 시행되는 지역은 당초의 계통운영방안에 비하여 취약한 계통 조건이 형성되고 있다. 본 논문은 실계통 사례를 중심으로 이와 같은 설비의 휴전 특히, 발전소 인출선로 및 근단위 휴전으로 인한 과도안정도와 과부하 측면에서 계통 취약성 심화 정도를 보이고, 이어서 이들 문제점을 해소하긴 위한 방안과 그 비용을 간략히 계산하여 제시하고자 한다.
