In general, the choking phenomenon occurs by flow acceleration for a turbine at high pressure ratio condition. In choking condition, total pressure ratio increases without mass flow rate variation. It is hard to predict choking characteristics by using conventional meanline analysis which used mass flow inlet boundary condition. In the present study, the algorithm for predicting choking point is developed to solve the problem. Moreover, performance estimation algorithm after choking is presented by reflecting the flow behaviour of flow expansion at choked nozzle or rotor. The analysis results are compared with 3D CFD analysis and experimental data to validate present method.

City gas pipelines are buried underground. Because of this, pipeline is hard to manage, and can be easily damaged. This research proposes a real time prediction system that helps experts can make decision about pressure anomalies. The gas pipline pressure data of Jungbu City Gas Company, which is one of the domestic city gas suppliers, time variables and environment variables are analysed. In this research, regression models that predicts pipeline pressure in minutes are proposed. Random forest, support vector regression (SVR), long-short term memory (LSTM) algorithms are used to build pressure prediction models. A comparison of pressure prediction models' preformances shows that the LSTM model was the best. LSTM model for Asan-si have root mean square error (RMSE) 0.011, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) 0.494. LSTM model for Cheonan-si have RMSE 0.015, MAPE 0.668.

상수도관망은 사용자에게 고품질의 물을 안정적으로 공급하는 것을 목적으로 하며, 이를 평가하기 위한 지표 중 하나로 압력을 활용한다. 최근 스마트 센서의 설치가 확장됨에 따라 기계학습기법을 이용한 실시간 데이터 기반의 분석이 활발하다. 따라서 어디에서 데이터를 수집하느냐에 대한 센서 위치 결정이 중요하다. 본 연구는 eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost) 모델을 활용하여 대규모 상수도관망 내 센서 위치를 최적화하는 방법론을 제안한다. XGBoost 모델은 여러 의사결정 나무(decision tree)를 활용하는 앙상블(ensemble) 모델이며, 오차에 따른 가중치를 부여하여 성능을 향상시키는 부스팅(boosting) 방식을 이용한다. 이는 분산 및 병렬 처리가 가능해 메모리리소스를 최적으로 사용하고, 학습 속도가 빠르며 결측치에 대한 전처리 과정을 모델 내에 포함하고 있다는 장점이 있다. 모델 구현을 위한 독립 변수 결정을 위해 압력 데이터의 변동성 및 평균압력 값을 고려하여 상수도관망을 대표하는 중요 절점(critical node)를 선정한다. 중요 절점의 압력 값을 예측하는 XGBoost 모델을 구축하고 모델의 성능과 요인 중요도(feature importance) 값을 고려하여 센서의 최적 위치를 선정한다. 이러한 방법론을 기반으로 상수도관망의 특성에 따른 경향성을 파악하기 위해 다양한 형태(예를 들어, 망형, 가지형)와 구성 절점의 수를 변화시키며 결과를 분석한다. 본 연구에서 구축한 XGBoost 모델은 추가적인 전처리 과정을 최소화하며 대규모 관망에 간편하게 사용할 수 있어 추후 다양한 입출력 데이터의 조합을 통해 센서 위치 외에도 상수도관망에서의 성능 최적화에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

An experimental study has been done to investigate the explosion characteristics of aluminum powders with different sizes and concentrations in a 20 L spherical explosion vessel. Two different sizes of aluminum powder were used : $15.1{\mu}m$ and $34.8{\mu}m$ with a volume mean diameter. The results revealed that $15.1{\mu}m$ Al powder has a Lower explosion limit (LEL) of $40g/m^3$, a maximun explosion pressure ($P_{max}$) of 9.8 bar and a maximum rate of pressure rise ($[dP/dt]_{max}$) of 1852 bar/s, in $34.8{\mu}m$ Al powder, LEL of $70g/m^3$, $P_{max}$ of 7.9 bar and $[dP/dt]_{max}$ of 322 bar/s. The LEL of Al powders tended to increase with the increase of particle size. Also, it was found that the flame velocity calculated from the powder with $15.1{\mu}m$ was about 5 times higher than that of the powder of $34.8{\mu}m$.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the foot-pressure distribution of Tennis Shoes for assessing their functionality. 10 university male students (shoe size: 265mm) who had no history of injury in the lower extremity and a normal gait pattern participated in this study. Four types of tennis shoes, most popular in Korea (A, B, C & D company), were selected and tested. Using the PEDAR-X system and PEDAR-X insoles, 4 different motion stages were analyzed for the foot-pressure distribution: (a) straight running; (b) c-cut($45^{\circ}$ left turn running; (c) forehand stroke; and (d) backhand stroke. Results revealed that in all stages, there were no statistically significant differences among the types of shoes; however, descriptive statistics indicated that functionality of shoe types was somewhat different depending on the type of stages. The order in functionality found was C>A>B>D.

The elutriation characteristics of particle size distribution were investigated in a gas-solid fluidized bed. Experiments were carried out with the mulit-sized particles of Gaussian distributions. The elutriation rate constant obtained from the experiment was correlated with the standard deviation of particle size and the dimensionless group of the velocity ratio. The standard deviation of pressure fluctuation, mean pressure, major frequency and power spectrum density function were calculated by pressure fluctuation properties. Size distribution of elutriated particles and pressure fluctuations were measured for the particle size distribution of particle system depended largrly on the size distribution. Characteristics of fluidization and elutriation were greatly influenced by the particle size distribution and these characteristics could be interpreted with pressure fluctuation properties.

In this study, GTZO(Ga-Ti-Zn-O) thin films were deposited at various working pressures (1~7mTorr) by RF magnetron sputtering to examine the structural, electrical, and optical properties. All GTZO thin films exhibited c-axis preferential growth regardless of working pressure, the GTZO thin film deposited at 1mTorr showed the most excellent crystallinity having 0.38˚ of FWHM. The average transmittance in the visible light region (400~800nm) showed 80% or more regardless of the working pressure. We could observed the Burstein-Moss effect that carrier concentration decrease with the increase of working pressure and thus the energy band gap is narrowed. Figure of merits of GTZO thin film deposited at 1mTorr showed the highest value of 9.08 × 103 Ω-1·cm-1, in this case resistivity and average transmittance in the visible light region were 5.12 × 10-4 Ω·cm and 80.64%, respectively.

To improve the crossflow untrafiltration flux, we applied periodic oscillations in transmembrane pressure gradient in order to promote fluid turbulence by inducing repeated compression and relaxation of the cake/gel layer. The oscillatory forms used were square-, sine-, triangle-wave, and pumping interruption. The permeate flux profiles were mathematically simulated and compared with the experimental data. The result showed the periodic pumping interruption most effectively improved the overall flux by up to about 32%. Enough pumping off-time, at least on the order of tens of seconds, was needed to allow the solutes in the layer to diffuse back to the bulk phase. It was better to start the oscillations earlier before the layer was fully established. The square-wave oscillation yielded about 11% increase, which was particularly pronounced in the later part of the filtration. Either the amplitude or the period of the oscillations resulted little influence on flux.actate ester, and lactate ester produced in esterification reaction was distilled simultaneously with hydrolysis reaction into lactic acid. When the yields of lactic acid recovered by batch reactive distillations with various alcohols were compared, the yield of lactic acid was increased as the volatility of lactate ester was increased. In this batch reactive distillation, because the mixtures condensed in partial condensor were flown to reboiler through distillation column, the recovery yield of lactic acid was affected by operation temperature of partial condensor. Hydrolysis reaction into lactic acid in distillation column rarelyoccurred because of short retention time of lactate ester and water. Lactate ester was reacted into lactic acid in reboiler.

Effects of pressure-side winglet width on the tip leakage flow and aerodynamic loss downstream of a turbine blade with a pressure-side squealer rim have been investigated for the tip gap-to-span ratio of h/s = 1.36%. The pressure-side squealer has a fixed height-to-span ratio of $h_p/s=3.75%$ and the pressure-side winglet, which is installed at an elevation of tip surface, has width-to-pitch ratios of w/p = 2.64%, 5.28%, 7.92% and 10.55%. The results show that with increasing w/p, aerodynamic loss in the passage vortex region decreases, whereas that in the leakage flow region increases. As a result, the mass-averaged loss coefficient all over the measurement plane tends to decrease minutely with the increment of w/p. It is concluded that the pressure-side winglet for the pressure-side squealer tip can hardly contribute to the tip-leakge loss reduction.
