In this study, we described the Pyrovalve used in the propulsion system. It is very important to reduce Pyrovalve-debris as far as possible because Pyrovalve is a pyrotechnic device for controlling fuel and air line of propulsion system. So we focused on redesigning to reduce debris through several analyses and tests.

Explosive bolts are reliable and efficient mechanical fastening devices having the special feature of a built-in release. The disadvantage of explosive bolt lies in that it is based on the high explosive effect of a pyrotechnic charge. The aim of the present work is to propose a pyrotechnically releasable mechanical linking device for two mechanical elements that does not suffer from such drawbacks. The pyro-lock using the pressure cartridge has the release characteristic without fragmentation and minimum pyro-shock. The present work is focused on the design, the interpretation of structure, the separation mechanism, separation force, and the results of various tests.

In this paper, we have proposed a separable nose cap and its opening device to protect a seeker's window from aerodynamic heating and to decrease the drag force on missile body. The nose cap should be promptly deployed to secure the view field of seeker when it is needed. This cap consists of two nose cap structures and separation devices such as pyro puller and pusher. The performance of pyro puller was fully verified through analyses and several kinds of operating tests. We can obtain a sufficient confidence level of the pyro puller through many operating tests under various environments.

KARI has been conducting R&D for independent development of KSLV-II since 2010. Vehicle holding device is a device for vertically standing SLV on the launch pad of launch complex and fixing the lower part of vehicle in order to firmly fix vehicle so that SLV does not fall from an external load such as a wind load. When thrust generated after the 1st stage engine ignition of SLV must exceed the takeoff weight of vehicle, and holding device should be quickly released so that it does not interfere with takeoff of vehicle like other ground equipment at the beginning of the launch. Pyro-valve is one of the key components constituting VHD, and it should have high reliability and quick response characteristics with similar functional parts applied to launch vehicle separation device and satellite separation device. Through this paper, I intend to broaden the overall understanding of the development process of pyro-valve for VHD and KSLV-II.

In this paper, we implemented an algae removal device that recognizes and removes algae existing in water using Raspberry Pi camera and DO (Dissolved Oxygen) sensor. The Raspberry Pi board recognizes the color of green algae by converting the RGB values obtained from the camera into HSV. Through this, the location of the algae is identified and when the amount of dissolved oxygen's decrease at the location is more than the reference value using the DO sensor, the algae removal device is driven to spray the algae removal solution. Raspberry Pi's camera uses OpenCV, and the motor movement is controlled according to the output value of the DO sensor and the result of the camera's green algae recognition. Algae recognition and spraying of algae removal solution were implemented through Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and the feasibility of the proposed portable algae removal device was verified through experiments.

항공기에는 많은 시스템이 있고 다양한 장치들이 있다. 이 장치들은 사용자의 명령을 입력받아 사용되는데 자동을 제외한 거의 모든 시스템들은 사용자의 직접적인 조작으로 작동된다. 하지만 여전히 완전 자동화는 되지 않아 사소하고 섬세한 부분에서 조종사는 수동으로 작동시켜 주어야하는 부분들이 있다. 사소한 부분들을 신경써야 하기에 조종사에게 피로는 필수적을 따라왔다. 본 연구에선 현재의 기술에서 더 나아가 음성인식(STT, TTS)을 활용하여 항공기의 다양한 장치들을 원격제어할 수 있게 개발하여 완전 자동화를 목적으로 한다. 음성을 이용한 방식은 조종사에게 손을 사용하지 않는 편리함을 제공한다. 조종사에게 원거리에서 음성으로 조작할 수 있게 해줌으로써 손을 사용하여 조작하지 않아 편의성을 제공할 수 있고 명령을 통해 컴퓨터가 처리함으로써 조종이 간단해진다. 본 연구로 인해 사소한 부분까지 신경쓸 필요가 없어져 조종사의 실수나 피로로인해 일어나는 사고를 방지할 수 있다.

A full scale hydrodynamic simulation that requires an accurate reproduction of shock-induced detonation was conducted for design of an energetic component system. A detailed hydrodynamic analysis SW was developed to validate the reactive flow model for predicting the shock propagation in a train configuration and to quantify the shock sensitivity of the energetic materials. The pyrotechnic device is composed of four main components, namely a donor unit (HNS+HMX), a bulkhead (STS), an acceptor explosive (RDX), and a propellant (BPN) for gas generation. The pressurized gases generated from the burning propellant were purged into a 10 cc release chamber for study of the inherent oscillatory flow induced by the interferences between shock and rarefaction waves. The pressure fluctuations measured from experiment and calculation were investigated to further validate the peculiar peak at specific characteristic frequency (${\omega}_c=8.3kHz$). In this paper, a step-by-step numerical description of detonation of high explosive components, deflagration of propellant component, and deformation of metal component is given in order to facilitate the proper implementation of the outlined formulation into a shock physics code for a full scale hydrodynamic simulation of the energetic component system.

In this study, it is performed that the assessment of feasibility of developed material processing facilities using tele-operation manipulator system for the pyroprocessing. To evaluate the performance of developed facilities using tele-operation system, several performance indices are considered as remote visibility, remote reachability and remote manipulability. These are applied to RHEM (Remote Handling Evaluation Mock-up) and digital mock-up system respectively. Through this approaches, several requirements for the system improvement are deduced and preliminary inspection for real system application is fully performed. Additionally, assembly and disassembly tasks for the repair of remote handling system are also examined remotely in RHEM and evaluated those performances.

Under a pyro-processing concept, an electrolytic reduction process has been developed to reduce uranium oxide in molten salt by electrochemical means as a part of spent fuel treatment process development. Accordingly, a model based on electrochemical theory is required to design a reactor for the electrolytic reduction process. In this study, a 1D model based on the phase-field theory, which explains phase separation behaviors was developed to simulate electrolytic reduction of uranium oxide. By adopting parameters for diffusion of oxygen elements in a pellet and electrochemical reaction rate at the surface of the pellet, the model described the behavior of inward reduction well and revealed that the current depends on the internal diffusion of the oxygen element. The model for the electrolytic reduction is expected to be used to determine the optimum conditions for large scale reactor design. It is also expected that the model will be applied to simulate the integration of pyro-processing.
