Many pressurization systems are designed and built with the goal of providing a smoke-free escape route in the event of a building fire. A secondary objective is to provide a smoke-free staging area for fire fighters. In the present study, a computer program is developed to calculate pressure loss and flow rate at several building elements such as a room, a ]tabby a staircase and an air supply shaft. By the program as the dosing tool for the pressurization system, the capacity of the injection fan is calculated, and the design method is proposed for the optimization of the fan capacity.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) 기반 융 복합 사업화 및 서비스를 실현 하는데 있어서 가장 큰 문제점 중에 하나가 센서부의 높은 전력소모 문제로서, 기존의 설비산업용 센서(온도, 압력, 유량, 레벨, 스트레인게이지 등)는 상전과 같은 방식의 전원 공급을 요구하므로 저전력 센싱(Low-Power Sensing) 시스템으로 개발하기에 어려움이 있기 때문에, USN 의 저전력화의 장점과 시너지효과를 발휘할 수 있는 USN 에 적합한 설비산업용 저전력 센싱 핵심기술에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로, 센싱주기와 다양한 환경에 따른 상황 예측기법과 같은 센싱 방법의 소프트웨어적 효율화 기법 들을 제안하였으며, 이를 융합한 지능형 센싱 핵심기술을 개발하였다.

Drug delivery in human upper airway was studied by the numerical simulation of oral airflow. We created an anatomically accurate upper airway model from CT scan data by using a medical image processing software (Mimics). The upper airway was composed of oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and second generations of branches. Thin sliced CT data and meticulous refinement of model surface under the ENT doctor's advice provided more sophisticated nasal cavity models. With this 3D upper airway models, numerical simulation was conducted by ANSYS/FLUENT. The steady inspiratory airflows in that model was solved numerically for the case of flow rate of 250 mL/s with drug-laden spray(Q= 20, 40, 60 mL/s). Optimal parameters for mechanical drug aerosol targeting of predetermined areas was to be computed, for a given representative upper airways. From numerical flow visualization results, as flow-rate of drug-laden spray increases, the drag spray residue in oral cavity was increased and the distribution of drug spray in trachea and branches became more homogeneous.

In this paper, we propose controller to control the acceleration of unmanned aircraft turbojet engine. The high-gain observer to estimate the rotational speed of compressor is used, and the turbojet engine controller applying fuzzy heuristic techniques and PID control algorithm are designed. fuzzy PID controller produces the flow control input to prevent the surge and flame-out phenomena at the acceleration and deceleration of the turbojet engine. The standard acceleration is set and the fuel flow control is defined by the fuzzy heuristic. Computer simulations are performed using MATLAB in order to verify the performance of the proposed controller.

This study focuses on model identification and a 2-DOF PID control algorithm for cooling processes; a pneumatic butterfly-type control valve is used for this purpose. The mathematical model is a transfer function composed of a time delay and a second-order delay system. The control valve is identified as a first-order delay system with a time delay and included in the controlled plant. From the experimental data sets for a demo plant, the model parameters are identified, and the 2-DOF PID control gains are analytically derived by Kitamori's method. We show via a computer simulation and an experimental test that the performance of the proposed 2-DOF PID control system is better than that of a conventional 1-DOF PID control system.

In this paper, proposed controller preventing compressor surge and reducing the acceleration time of the fuel flow control system for turbo-jet engine. Turbo-jet engine controller is designed by applying fuzzy PID control algorithm and high-gain observer. Observer is used to estimate to compressor rotation speed of turbo-jet engine. Result of fuzzy inference is used as the fuel flow control inputs for preventing compressor surge and flame-out in turbo-jet engine. The controller is designed to converge to the desired speed quickly and safely. Using MATLAB to perform computer simulations verified the performance of the proposed controller.

System Dynamics(SD) is one of the complexity theories that has attracted attention as a computer-aided simulation methodology to analyze a dynamic problem and to develop a policy(strategy) in social science. Though there are properly unproven cases in research models which were developed in various fields by SD methodology during the last five decades, they are utilized as models to represent SD sub-theories. For this reason, this study targeted the population dynamics model which was frequently utilized to explain SD fundamentals and it proved errors of reasoning a structure of the existing causal and dominant feedback loop. Consequently, we presented a strategy to strengthen the coherence between CLD(causal loop diagram) and SFD(stocks-and-flows diagram) for improving validity of the existing model. The findings of this study contribute to the advancement of the existing SD and to the reinforcement of validation for policy research models of SD.

Knowledge of the characteristics of airflow in nasal cavities is essential to understand the physiological and pathological aspects of nasal breathing. In our laboratory, a series of experimental investigations on the nasal airflow was conducted; airflow in models of normal and deformed nasal cavities under both constant and periodic flow conditions was studied by PIV. Some of the patients with asymmetric nasal cavities experience pain or discomfort, while other patients with asymmetric nasal cavities do not experience pain. Airflows inside asymmetric nasal cavities with and without obstructions due to a bent nasal septum are investigated both experimentally by PIV and numerically by using the general-purpose FVM code in order to determine the reason for the above-mentioned discrepancy. The comparisons between two cases are tried. Heat and humidity distribution are investigated numerically.

The humidification measurement system designed in laboratory was used to measure relative humidity and temperature of reaction gases passing through internal or external humidifier which was used in proton exchange membrane fuel cell test station. The relative humidity of gases was stabilized after $10\~20$ minutes and thus credibility of data could be assured. The effect of relative humidity on fuel cell performance could be analyzed by humidity measurement system. Extreme caution was needed to avoid humidity sensor mal-function or failure which is probable in experiment of high humidity condition near $100\%$. The amount of water carried by gas through humidifier was increased along the flow rate of gas. However, the extent of increase was lowered at high gas flow rate. These phenomena could be analyzed as residence time effect of gas in humidifier.

최근 지구 온난화 및 기후변화로 인하여 국지적 집중호우에 의한 농지 침수 및 유실 피해가 점차 증가 추세에 있으며 가뭄에 의한 물 부족 현상도 심화되고 있다. 이와 같은 홍수 및 가뭄 피해에 대비하기 위하여 농업용 저수지와 수문 그리고 농수로와 같은 농업수리시설물이 신축 운영되고 있으나 이들 시설물은 비교적 규모가 작은 대신에 그 수가 매우 많고 또한 지역적으로 널리 산재해 있기 때문에 관리자가 이들을 효율적으로 운영하고 관리하는데 한계가 있다는 특징이 있다. 더욱이 이들 시설물은 물과 항상 접하는 철근 콘크리트 구조물로 이루어져 있어서 시간이 경과함에 따라 균열발생과 철근부식과 같은 노후화 현상이 뚜렷하게 진전되어 정기적 안전점검이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 따라 농업수리시설을 보다 체계적으로 관리하고 농업용수를 보다 효율적으로 확보 운영하기 위하여 물관리 자동화 사업이 추진되어 많은 개선이 이루어졌으나 아직까지 현장업무가 관리자의 수작업에 의존하고 있으며 농촌 용수의 정확한 정보가 제때에 제공되지 못하는 등 농업수리시설에 대한 다양한 요구를 충족시키지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 농촌수자원의 효율적 관리를 위하여 농업수리시설 가운데 하나인 농수로의 수위 및 유량 정보를 자동으로 측정하며 농업수리시설물의 상태 정보를 입력하고 관리할 수 있는 모바일 App을 개발하였다. 안드로이드 OS 기반의 스마트폰을 활용하였으며 여기에는 시설물 고유정보가 포함된 QR코드 및 Active 태그를 통하여 시설물의 상태정보를 원격에 있는 서버 컴퓨터로 전송할 수 있는 원거리 무선통신 모듈이 구비되어 있다. 특히, 농업수리시설물 관리 어플리케이션은 현장관리자가 기존에 수기방식으로 시설물을 관리해 오던 것을 휴대단말 상에서 보다 효율적으로 관리를 함으로써 시설물 유지관리 업무의 효율성을 향상시키는 특징이 있다.
