Brake tube is considered one of the most important parts in automobile. The shape of brake tube end has a great influence on the function of brake, and the quality and productivity of brake tube have relation to die design. The forming process of brake tube end is performed by hydraulic press forming machine. In this paper, the forming processes of tube end for automobile is analyzed and designed to make the optimal form of brake tube end. Also, finite element analysis has been carried out using $DEFORM^{TM}% 3D to predict the optimal shape of brake tube end and the results obtained showed the optimal length between punch and chuck is $1.0{\sim}1.2mm$. The shape of tube end is in good agreement with the finite element simulations and the experimental results.

Recently the plastic fuel tube is usually used to reduce production cost and weight in automobiles. These days, material used to plastic fuel tube is the polyamide12. The fuel tube is made of the PA12. Post deformation of the tube has been changed by environmental temperature. So, it is important to prevent post deformation. The experiment is performed to investigate post deformation of the tube produced by each bending process. In this study, the results we obtained are used to bending process system for post deformation as the environmental temperature of the tube. It turned out that the method of steam heating and air cooling was shown less deformation than other methods.

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the optimal shape of the brake tube-end and flare nut for automobiles using the $DEFORM^{TM}-3D$, finite element code. A flare nut is a small and important part used to join a brake tube-end in automobiles. In this instance, we studied the optimal forging processes for the tube-end and flare nut. Finite element analysis has been carried out to predict an optimal shape of the tube-end and flare nut. Also the simulation results were reflected to the forging processes design for the tube-end and flare nut. The shape of the tube-end and flare nut is in agreement with the finite element simulation and the test results.

In this study, the investigations on the dimpled type Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler have been focused on the high heat exchanger efficiency. To overcome low heat exchanger efficiency of general EGR cooler, the dimpled type EGR cooler was developed. It was ensured the improvement of the performance of the dimpled type EGR cooler related to the heat exchange based on a series of the experiment. These results were caused by the increase of thermal surface area in accordance with the dimple's one. The estimation model of the heat exchanger efficiency using the Effectiveness-NTU method was also developed in order to verify the validity of experimental result. Also, the program for the estimation of the heat exchanger efficiency on the EGR cooler with regard to the dimpled tube shape was developed. Resultantly, it was confirmed that the dimpled type EGR cooler could be served better performance than the conventional one in view of the heat exchanger efficiency.

CNT(carbon nanotubes) 강화 알루미늄 나노복합재는 우수한 기계적 특성으로 자동차용 차세대 경량재료로 주목을 받고 있으나 소재 제조 과정에 있어 CNT의 균일 분산 확보가 어렵고 대량제조 공정 확립이 어려워 자동차 부품으로의 적용이 어렵다. 그러나 점차 CNT 생산이 대량화 되고 있고 복합재로서의 특성이 개선되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 CNT강화 알루미늄 나노복합재의 현 수준을 확인하고 자동차 부품 관점에서의 적용가능성을 검토하고자 하였다. 평가에 사용된 소재는 20L급 High energy milling기에서 알루미늄 분말과 CNT를 혼합한 후, 소결 및 압출하여 봉상(${\phi}80$)으로 제조되었다. 소재 관점에서 기계적 특성 및 열적 특성을 분석하였으며, 부품 적용성 관점에서는 현재 자동차 부품에 사용되는 소재와 그 소재가 사용되는 각 부품의 주요 요구 특성을 상대 비교하였다. 고강성과 성형성이 요구되는 부품에 사용되는 상용소재(A390) 및 SiC/Al 복합재와 성형성 비교평가를 진행하였으며, 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 피로 내구 및 경량화가 요구되는 메인베어링캡 양산소재와의 내구성 비교 평가를 실시하였다. 또한 고온 안정성이 요구되는 피스톤용 내열 소재와 열팽창계수 및 열화에 따른 강도저하를 비교 평가하였다. 구배가 큰 금형을 설계하여 단조 가공 후, 성형성(외관 crack 및 성형압 측정)을 비교하였으며, 내구성 평가를 위해 실제 부품인 H사(社) 소형 엔진블록의 메인베어링 캡을 적용하여 일축 단품 피로 시험을 진행하였다. 이를 통해 우수한 소재 특성을 확인하였고, 자동차 구조용 부품으로 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

50㎾급 터보제너레이터 가스터빈 엔진에 리쿠퍼레이터가 부착되는 경우 성능 변화를 조사하였다. 리쿠퍼레이터는 군사 및 소형 자동차용 엔진에 경제적 연비와 배기가스 저감의 목적으로 많이 적용되어 왔다. 열역학적 관점에서 볼 때 재생사이클은 압축비 10이하 및 비교적 낮은 터빈 입구온도에서 사이클의 효율 상승에 기여하는 바가 큰 것으로 나타난다. 1축단순사이클 터보제너레이터 가스터빈 엔진에 리쿠퍼레이터를 부착하는 경우 리쿠퍼레이터 효율 $\varepsilon$ = 0.5에서 엔진의 효율은 상대적으로 약 30% 증가하는 것으로 나타났고 이때 열교환기내의 압력 손실은 5.2%로 설계하였다. 용이한 제작, 구조적 견고성, 최소의 누출 둥의 장점으로 튜브형의 열교환 시스템이 본 가스터빈 엔진에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.

The important problems from the point of view of preventing global warming are to save the power consumption of automotive air-conditioning systems and reduce the refrigerant amount filled. To achieve such requirements, integral receiver/dryer (R/D) condensers were developed recently. Typical integral R/D condensers have extra headers that play the role of R/D. Except an extra header and somewhat complex tube array resulting from the extra header, the most integral R/D condensers have almost the same specification that tube has multi channels, fin has louvers, flow in tube is parallel, etc. When integral condensers are applied, it is known that the refrigerating effect increases, resulting from the increase of subcooling degree in condenser, and the refrigerant amount used saves. In spite of several merits, integral condensers have not been applied a lot. That is why there is an uncertainty in performance, using integral condensers. The objective of this study is to theoretically optimize the tube array in an integral R/D condenser that is really being applied to some vehicles. The tube array has a great effect on the performance of the integral condenser as well as common ones. Through computer simulation, we could see that the tube array, 14-6-3-5-3-4, in the same condenser was the best, comparing heat release rate, pressure drop, etc. to the real array, 17-5-3-3-2-5. It should be noted that the optimization is based on the condenser performance only.
