운영 자료의 조사$\cdot$분석을 위해 수도권 광역상수도의 취수장, 가압장 및 정수장들을 발문하여 각 펌프장에서 관리하고 있는 운전일보, 기기이력카드 등과 한국수자원공사에서 발간하는 월보 및 년보와 각 단계별 실시설계 보고서 및 준공도소를 수집하여 통계 처리한 결과를 요약하여 보면 다음과 같다. 각 단계별 수도권 광역상수도의 취수량 및 송수량은 운영을 시작한 초기부터 1990년까지 증가하다가 점점 수량이 감소하는 추세이다. 팔당 1 취수펌프장은 계획 취수량의 $95.5\%$, 2 취수펌프장은 $89.8\%$를 공급한 후 계속 감소되었고 설계 시 $100\%$의 용수량을 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 이러한 현상은 최근 IMF로 인하여 건설경기 둔화와 용수 수요량이 감소하였을뿐만 아니라 지방자치단체별로 취수펌프장을 독자적으로 건설하여 수요량 감소가 심화되었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 각 단계별 광역상수도 중 펌프의 운전토출압력과 운전흡입압력으로 부터 전양정을 계산하여 보면 설계된정격양정보다 낮은 수치인 저양정$\cdot$대유량으로 운전되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 운전은 캐비테이션을 발생시키고 이로 인하여 임펠러에 침식이나 균열이 발생하여 10년에 한번씩은 임페러를 교체한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 펌프의 교체 주기는 $15\~20$년인 것으로 조사되었다.

A variable displacement vane pump is possible to improve the fuel economy by varying the pump capacity with a vane mechanism according to the engine operating speed range and reducing its driving torque. In general the experimental evaluation of the vane pump for the transmission has been performed mainly not with the vehicle or dynamometer test rig but with component test rig due to the implementation and safety problems. In this paper, in order to evaluate the performance of the developed vane pump as well as the compatibility with other rotary and hydraulic components of the target transmission, the transmission dynamometer based test rig is implemented where the developed pump is built into it and then the variable pump capacity and effect of power reduction are investigated experimentally.

This study addresses the contamination sensitivity test of a typical fuel pump for automotive vehicle. The objective of the study is to find the contamination sensitivity coefficient of fuel pump on specific contaminant particle sizes so that optimal fuel filter could be selected. To achieve the objective, the degradation of discharge flow rate of fuel pump was measured under the experiments of various contaminants size ranges of ISO test dust up to 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The fundamental theory of contamination sensitivity was introduced and the contamination sensitivity coefficients were estimated using the experimental data. Maximum contamination sensitivity coefficient of $5{\times}10^{-6}$ L/minㆍEa was found on the contaminant size range of 40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$∼50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The magnified picture of the surface of vane disc revealed that the abrasive wear was the principal cause of discharge flow rate degradation. Hence, this study revealed that high efficiency filter on the contaminant particle size range of 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$∼70${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ especially should be used to maintain the service lift of the fuel filter.

The objective of this study was to study the bending characteristics of Ag nano ink using EHD (Electrohydrodynamics) inkjet printing technology for flexibility and miniaturization of devices. The optimal conditions for the technology were derived, and bending characteristics of the Ag nano circuit obtained. For the EHD printing, it is essential to find the optimal point for each parameter such as material characteristics, density, flow rate, voltage, discharge height etc. Therefore, it was derived as the point from the working height and the applied voltage. Also, bending characteristics are confirmed by measuring resistance with each radius of curvature using a fabricated bending module. It was confirmed that rate of resistance change increases rapidly as the radius of curvature increases.

자율주행 트랙터를 위한 트랙터 조향제어는 일반적으로 전자모터를 이용한 EPS(Electric Power Steering) 시스템을 스티어링 휠에 연결하여 회전변위를 변경하고 그 결과 오비트롤(Orbitrol) 밸브의 토출유량을 바꾸고 호스로 연결된 조향실린더의 변위를 조절하여 최종적으로 전방 타이어의 방향각을 변경하면서 이루어진다. 이러한 조향방식은 시스템 구조상 조향실린더와 오비트롤 밸브가 상대적으로 멀리 떨어져 있으며, 밸브 특성상 약 ${\pm}5^{\circ}$의 오버랩이 포함되어 있다. 또한, EPS의 전자모터는 관성력, 마찰, 백래시 등의 영향을 가진다. 이와 같은 복합적인 영향은 조향 응답을 느리게 만들어 상대적으로 빠른 속도에서 주행에서 추종성능이 떨어지는 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 자율주행 트랙터의 조향성능 개선 연구의 일환으로 조향 HILS 시뮬레이터를 설계제작하여 조향 성능의 요인을 실험적으로 구명하고자 하였으며 이를 바탕으로 조향 시스템의 설계개선 방안을 수립하고자 하였다. 시뮬레이터는 동양물산 80 마력급 TX803 트랙터에 사용되는 오픈센터방식의 오비트롤 유압회로 시스템을 기어펌프가 장착된 AC모터로 구동되게 구성하였으며, 유량은 모터의 주파수를 조절 회전속도를 조절 변경하였다. 추가적으로 EPS와 오비트롤 조합의 조향성능을 비교 및 개선하기 위해 비례제어밸브(PVG 32, Danfoss)를 추가 장착하였다. 실제 트랙터 조향 시 나타나는 마찰저항을 모사하기 위해 부하 실린더를 구성하였으며, 조향 실린더의 부하의 크기는 부하 실린더를 폐회로를 구성하고 유량비례제어밸브를 이용한 유로의 개구량 조절을 통해 부하의 크기를 약 4000 N 까지 증가시킬 수 있도록 하였다. EPS와 비례제어밸브를 제어하기 위해 CANoe 8.0 소프트웨어를 이용하여 CAN통신 기반 가상 조향ECU를 구성하였으며 오비트롤의 기본 성능을 확인하기 위해 조향휠에 따른 실린더 동특성 및 계단 추종성능을 비례제어밸브와 비교하였다. 오비트롤 밸브는 약 ${\pm}5^{\circ}$이상 동작 시 실린더 압력이 상승하기 시작하였으며, 이후 약 ${\pm}10^{\circ}$이상 동작 시 조향실린더가 동작하기 시작하였다. 계단 추종성능실험에서는 비례제어밸브가 약 2배 이상의 응답개선을 나타냈다. 자율주행 경로추종 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 순간적인 출력밀도가 높은 비례제어밸브를 통해 응답개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Water-jet trajectory visualization and velocity deficits from a high pressurized steam-generator nozzles were experimentally observed. In order to find an optimal nozzle configuration. several parameters affecting plugging and erosion onto the steam generator tube were quantitatively analyzed. For the experiments, a high-pressurized pump (pressure in use: 200 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 15 HP, 11 kW, output flow Q : 301/min) was utilized. Visualization, velocity distribution, and spray growth rate with different nozzle configurations have been mainly focused using a 2-D PDPA system. The results indicated that trajectories along the centerline regardless of their configurations has its potential core region. However, the phenomena from the peripheral part need to be meticulously considered. Accordingly, it is evident that quantitative velocity deficits at the outer region are outstanding due to the aerodynamical drag and entrainment.

This work is devoted to an experimental investigation on conceptual design of dual consecutive stage micro plasma thruster (${\mu}PT$). Optimization study on the thruster configuration has been performed for various electrode gap distances from 1 mm to 2 mm and the hole diameter from 0.3 mm to 2 mm depending on desired operating conditions and corresponding nozzle design requirement. The operation of ${\mu}PT$ at low pressure from $10^{-1}$ Torr to $10^{-4}$ Torr and at various argon flow rates ranging from 5 sccm to 300 sccm has been studied to understand the physic of plasma and the gas dynamics in details. The specific impulse can reach up to 3000-4000 seconds at low power consumptions from 1 to 5 W. Image of exhaust plume from ${\mu}PT$ will be provided and electrical characteristics is also mentioned in this paper.

A theoretical study on oxygen flow is fundamental to comprehend the practical production of an oxygen respirator and its stability. In this study, an orifice-type pressure-reducing component was designed for the newly developed oxygen respirator, using the commercial CFD tool, COMSOL Multiphysics, which increases its operational time compared to the existing component. The orifice was optimized by changing the length by 3, 6, and 9 mm within the entire computational domain of the oxygen respirator. Based on an oxygen flow rate of 0.028 kg/s, the oxygen respirator equipped with the newly developed orifice satisfied the flow rate within 33% for a respirator inlet pressure of 300 bar, and within 32.7% for 50, 75, and 100 bar. In terms of component manufacturing, the orifice length was selected as 3 mm, which removes additional changes to the existing component.

In the present study, water vapor is injected at various positions in a Clean Dry Air (CDA) system such as a system inlet duct, compressor inlet, and compressor outlet by humidified air turbines. The application of evaporative cooling reduces the compression work and enhances the Energy Consumption Index (ECI) per unit volume. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the compressor power performance with different inlet air temperatures and humidity conditions. It is found that the actual power consumption and discharge flow are significantly influenced by the inlet air temperature as well as relative humidity. The results obtained during this study are compared both numerically and experimentally and are found to be in very good agreement.

ACF, which is used for the transparent electrode film is manufactured by the thermocompression method with conductive particles. However, the method has disadvantages since there are many wasted materials and the process is complex. To overcome the demerits of the conventional method, EHD printing technology with conductive particles ink is proposed. The line thickness of patterning is influenced by the characteristics of the inks and the printing conditions. Therefore, it is salient to find the most conducive conditions for the micro patterning. In this paper, the ink with conductive particles was manufactured, and the patterning results were obtained by varying the nozzle thickness and the flow rate. The electrical conductivity according to the ejection of the particles ink is obtained.
