To improve the total efficiency of centrifugal compressor, it is necessary to reduce the disk friction loss, which is defined as the power loss. In this study, the disk friction loss due to the axial clearance and the surface roughness effect is analyzed and proposed the new empirical equation for the reduction of the disk friction loss. The rotating reference frame technique and the 2-equation k-${\omega}$ SST model using commercial CFD code FLUENT is used for the steady-state analysis of the centrifugal compressor impeller. According to CFD results, the disk friction loss of the impeller is more affected by the surface roughness than the change of the axial clearance. For the minimization of the disk friction loss on the centrifugal compressor impeller, the magnitude of the axial clearance should be designed to the same size compare with theoretical boundary layer thickness and the surface roughness should be minimized.

Drag reduction produced by the dilute solution of polymer under turbulent flow in a rotating disk apparatus(RDA) was investigated in this study for the purpose of potential application to the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) system. Four different molecular weights of poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) were used as drag reducing additives, and synthetic seawater was adopted as a solvent. Experiments were undertaken to observe the dependence of drag reduction on various factors such as polymer molecular weight, polymer concentration and the rotating speed of the disk. The concentration dependence on the drag reduction of this polymer system was shown to obey an empirical drag reduction equation of the Virk's universal correlation.

최근 자성 나노 입자를 이용한 온열치료가 주목을 받고 있다. 자성을 띄는 나노 입자를 암 세포에 보내, 교류 자기장을 걸어주어 회전에 의한 마찰손실로 인한 열을 이용하여 암 조직만을 국소 가열하는 원리이다. 본 실험은 유도 자기장을 사용한 자성 나노 파우더의 가열을 목적으로 시행하였다. 나선형 코일위에 세라믹, 유리 등 절연체 원판 위에 자기장이 발생되도록 휴대용 평판형 자기장 발생장치를 제작하였다. 자기장 발생 장치는 평판형 나선형 코일에 특정 주파수를 가진 전원을 인가하여 자기장을 발생시킨다. 평판형 나선형 코일은 내경 40 mm, 외경 140 mm, 2 mm 동선으로 제작하였다. 제작한 자기장 발생장치를 자기장 측정 센서(Hall sensor 등)을 원판 위에 설치하여 거리별 자기장의 크기를 측정하였다. 자기장은 나선형 코일 위 원판 중심에서 최대로 발생되어 중심에서 멀어질수록 크기가 감소하였다. 자기장 발생장치 위에 자성 나노 파우더($Fe_3O_4$와 $CoFe_2O_4$)를 혼합한 용액 시료를 위치시키고 자기 쌍극자 모멘트와 자기장간의 상호작용을 유도한다. 이때 자성 나노 파우더별로 발생하는 열을 열전쌍(TC)이나 Optical fiber를 사용한 Thermometer로 측정하여 비교분석하였다.

The positive displacement pump and the regenerative pump are widely used in the range of low specific speed, $n_s{\leq}100$[rpm, m3/min, m]. The positive displacement pump is not suitable for miniaturization and operation in high rotational speed. The regenerative pump has a problem with large leakage flow and low efficiency. While the centrifugal pump has advantages of high efficiency, miniaturization and high rotational speed, efficiency drops sharply with decrease in specific speed. Therefore the purpose of this study is to design a new type of centrifugal pump that has advantages of centrifugal pumps in operation in low specific speed. The name of this new type of pump was called 'Pipe type centrifugal pump', since the flow path through the impeller is simple circular pipe. Due to the simple shape of impeller, the manufacturing process is simple and cost is low. There is strong jet flow at the outlet of the impeller. This jet induces flow path loss, meridional dynamic pressure loss and mixing loss. Large disk friction makes the efficiency be limitted in the range of low specific speed. Even though the loss and the low efficiency, 'Pipe type centrifugal pump' represents stable performance, affordable pressure ratio and efficiency better than that of other low specific speed pumps.

The characteristics of drag reduction and rheological behaviors were investigated using cationic surfactants, whose microstructures are known to change when concentration of the surfactant exceeds CMC. The firstly formed spherical micelles change to rodlike or disklike micelles because of packing between surfactants micells, and of thermodynamic perference. The drag reduction becomes significant when the concentration increases over this micellar transient point. Drag reductions were measured as a function of concentration, and rheological characteristics of the surfactant were further investigated to understand the correlation between their rheological properties and drag reduction. Micelles show the non-Newtonian behavior, and shear thickening behaviors were observed due to the structural development. In addition, structural developments were determined by adding the counter-ion in case of DOBON-G.

The present study has been carried out to develop a computational procedure for the analysis of the off-design performance in centrifugal compressors with vaneless diffusers by integrating empirical loss models and analytical equations. Losses in centrifugal compressors stem from a number of sources and their exact calculation is not yet possible. This study investigates several modeling schemes and shows that a fairly good prediction can be achieved by a proper selection of the most important flow parameters resulting form a meanline one-dimensional analysis. The performance maps for compressors are calculated and compared with measured performance maps. The off-design performance characteristics in terms of the pressure ratio vs. mass flow produced have generally correct forms. However, no universal means have been found to predict accurately the onset of surge. The prediction method developed through this study can serve as a tool to ensure good matching between parts and it can assist the understanding of the operational characteristics of general purpose centrifugal compressors.

The helical pile has become popular with some constructional advantages because relatively compact equipment is needed for installing helical piles. However, field loading tests for estimating the bearing capacity of helical piles have drawbacks that the required dead load should be as much as the operation load, and reaction piles or anchors are required. In this paper, the bi-directional load test without necessity of reaction piles and loading frames was applied to the helical pile, and the load-settlement curves of the helical piles were measured. The bi-directional load test was performed in two separate stages with the aid of a special hydraulic cylinder whose diameter is equal to that of the pile shaft. In the first stage, the hydraulic cylinder is assembled immediately above the bottom helix plate, and the end bearing capacity of the helical pile is measured. In the second stage, the hydraulic cylinder is assembled above the top helix plate, and the skin friction of the helical pile is measured. The pile loading-test program was carried out for the two different helical piles with the shaft diameter of 89 mm and 114 mm, respectively. However, the configuration of helix plates is identical with three helix plates of 450-, 350-, 200- mm diameter. Results of the bi-directional load test were verified by the conventional static pile loading test. As a result, the bearing capacity estimated by the bi-directional load test is in good agreement with the result of the conventional pile loading test.

와이퍼 작동 중에 발생하는 진동소음 중 1000Hz 이상의 스퀼 소음은 발생 메커니즘이 정확하게 알려지지 않았으며 발생하는 조건도 불규칙하다. 이 스퀼 소음의 발생 빈도 및 주파수를 변경하는 설계를 위하여 스퀼 진동 소음의 발생 메커니즘의 원인분석이 우선적으로 이루어져야 한다. 이 논문에서는 자동차 와이퍼 시스템에서 워셔액을 분사하였을 때 발생하는 스퀼 소음을 측정하고 인자 별로 분석하였다. 스퀼 소음이 발생하는 인자들을 마찰계수와 연관이 있는 인자, 기하학적인 인자, 와이퍼의 운동과 관련된 인자들로 나누어 분석하였다. 실제 와이퍼 시스템을 구현하기 위하여 모터와 원판 지지대 등을 이용하였고, 마이크로폰, 레이저 바이브로미터, 노이즈북, 아르테미스를 이용하여 측정 및 분석하였다.

LCD 원판이 세대별로 대형, 중량화됨에 따라 제조 공정라인의 자동 반송장비도 대형화 되어 가고 있는 추세다. 기존 스토커는 주행축에 회전형 모터와 기계적 동력변환 장치를 사용하고 있어, 복잡한 구조와 기계적 마찰에 의한 잦은 유지, 보수가 필요하게 되고 파티클 발생을 최소화 시켜야 하는 문제점을 안고 있다. 따라서 이런 문제점들을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 횡자속 선형전동기를 적용하고 제안된 제어 알고리즘 및 제어기, 전력변환장치를 제작해서 대형, 고출력, 장거리화 되고 있는 스토커의 주행축에 실험, 검증하였다.
