This study aimed to enhance the durability by distributing the stress concentration at the contact and increasing the mechanical characteristics, as well as by changing the surface shape for LIP in the low-pressure seal among oil seals installed to the power steering of automotive. Accordingly, results were derived from comparisons and reviews with oil seals under the existing mass production by carrying out the performance tests after designs and productions are done with the addition of embo shapes on the surface of LIP in the low-pressure seal. As a result of this study, it has been identified that the durability of oil seals with the addition of embo shapes was enhanced with higher radial force and less variation in the internal diameter for the LIP. In addition, it was seen that the sealing ability for those oil seals is superior to the existing oil seals as their rotational torque values are less than those of the existing oil seals.

The performance test of an axial-type turbine is carried out with various axial gap distances between the stator and rotor. The turbine is operated at the low pressure and speed, and the degree of reaction is 0.373 at the mean radius. The axial-type turbine consists of ons-stage and 3-dimensional blades. The chord length of rotor is 28.2mm and mean diameter of turbine is 257.56mm. The power of turbo-blower for input power is 30kW and mass flow rate is $340m^3$/min at 290mmAq static-pressure. The RPM and output power are controlled by a dynamometer connected directly to the turbine shaft. The axial gap distances are changed from a quarter to three times of stator axial chord length, and performance curves are obtained with 9 different axial gaps. The efficiency varies about 8% of its peak value due to the variation of axial gap on the same non-dimensional mass flow rate and RPM, and experimental results show that the optimum axial gap is 1.6-1.9Cx.

The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between kinematic and kinetic characteristics of foot joints resisting ground reaction force. Passive elastic joint moment and angular displacement were obtained from the experiment using 3 cameras and force plate. The relationship between joint angle and moment was mathematically modeled by using least square method. The ranges of motion of joints ranged from 5$^{\circ}$ to 7$^{\circ}$ except metatarsophalangeal joint. In the study, we presented simple mathematical models that could relate joint angle and plantar pressure. From this model, we can got the kinematic data of joints which is not available from conventional motion analysis. Furthermore, the model can be used not only for biomechanical model which simulates gait but also for clinical evaluation.

This research was undertaken to do the technical and economical feasibility study of membrane water treatment system. For the technical feasibility study, batch water treatment system using UF(ultrafiltration) was set up and several experiments were carried out. The performance of the UF membrane was tested in terms of turbidity. The experimental results showed that the UF membrane process produced less than 1 NTU water regardless of input water turbidity. For the economical feasibility study, the cost model was analyzed and programmed for simulation. Also costs of the membrane water treatment and the conventional treatment were evaluated. The simulation results showed that the unit production cost increased when design flow or permeate flow decreased. The production cost of membrane water treatment system was lower than that of the conventional system. Both technical and economical feasibility study showed that the UF membrane water purification system was a very competitive water purification process.

Natural gas in tight reservoirs, one of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, has become a significant exploration and exploitation targets. Tight gas reservoirs are the gas-bearing rocks that commonly have a permeability of less than 0.1 millidarcy (mD). Tight gas reservoirs are characterized by extensive and deep locations as well as abnormal pressure such as over- or under-pressure. The tight gas reservoirs are independent of structural or stratigraphic traps, whereas conventional gases normally occur at these traps. Tight gas reservoirs can be productive when stimulated by hydraulic fracturing. Better production areas within the tight reservoir beds are referred to as sweet spots that are commonly caused by natural fractures, which should be understood and identified to enhance the recovery of the gas from tight reservoirs. The exploration and production techniques allow the commercial production of tight gas, one of environmentally friendly resources. Slant and horizontal wells have best production when they intersect the fractures. Gas production from the tight reservoirs has rapidly grown in U.S. and Canada. Indeed, the U.S. gas production of tight sandstones increases from 11.1% in 1990 to 24.1% in 2005. The presence of tight gas reservoirs has been suggested on the Korean offshore block 6-1. Paradigm shift from conventional to unconventional tight reservoir is required to develop the tight gas from the block.

반도체 선폭이 20 nm급까지 감소함에 따라 기존에 수율에 문제를 끼치던 공정 외부 유입 입자뿐만 아니라, 공정 도중에 발생하는 수~수십 나노의 작은 입자도 수율에 악영향을 끼치게 되었다. 이에 따라 저압, 극청정 조건에서 진행되는 공정 중 발생하는 입자를 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 장비에 대한 수요가 발생하고 있다. Particle beam mass spectrometer (PBMS)는 이러한 요구사항을 만족할 수 있는 장비로 100 mtorr의 공정 조건에서 5 nm 이상의 입자의 직경별 수농도를 측정할 수 있는 장비이다. PBMS로 입자의 수농도를 측정하기 위해서는 PBMS 전단에서 입자를 중앙으로 집속할 필요가 있다. 공기역학렌즈는 PBMS 전단에서 입자를 집속시키기 위해 일반적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 장비로 여러 개의 오리피스로 이루어져 있다. 공기역학렌즈를 지나는 수송 유체와 입자는 이러한 연속 오리피스를 거치면서 팽창과 수축을 반복하며, 관성력의 차이로 인해 입자가 중앙으로 집속된다. 그러나 기존 공기역학렌즈는 고정된 직경의 오리피스를 사용하기 때문에 설계된 공정조건 이외에는 입자의 집속효율이 감소한다는 단점을 지닌다. 따라서 공정조건이 바뀔 경우 공기역학렌즈를 교체해야 되며, 진공이라는 환경하에서 이러한 교체는 많은 시간과 노력을 요구로 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 공기역학렌즈의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 다양한 공정조건에서 교체 없이 사용할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 직경 가변형 공기역학렌즈인 조리개형 공기역학렌즈를 제안하였다. 기존 연구를 통해 조리개형 공기 역학 렌즈가 다양한 압력 범위 내에서 나노입자를 성공적으로 집속할 수 있음을 보였지만, 장비를 상용화하기 위해서는 사용자가 좀 더 쉽게 렌즈직경을 결정 할 수 있어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 조리개형 렌즈의 중공 직경에 따른 입자 집속 특성을 평가하였으며, 최종적으로 압력과 집속하고자 하는 직경에 따라 렌즈 중공 직경을 결정할 수 있게 해주는 데이터 베이스를 제작하였다.
