Design of velocity-compounded turbine for 75ton class LRE turbopump application and pressure compounded turbine for 30ton class LRE turbopump has been performed. 1D calculation and CFD analysis were conducted in determining blade and flow passage shape of velocity compounded turbine iteratively. Finally, 23.1% improved specific power and 5% reduced weight turbine to the original design was developed. In case of pressure-compounded supersonic turbine design, rotational speed was increased by 50% and the effect of carryover ratio, 2nd nozzle installation angle, leakage flow of 2nd nozzle, and work sharing factor was studied. Final 1D design resulted 36% increased specific power and 51% reduced weight comparing to the original single-row impulse turbine. It is anticipated that nozzle flow path design will be very important for the accomplishment of expected performance of pressure-compounded turbine and nozzle shape optimization will be conducted through the CFD analysis.

The fuel storage vessel installed in CNG vehicles can be largely divided into 3 parts: head, cylinder, and dome. Studies of the cylinder and dome parts have already been performed, but sufficient design data is not available about the head part. Therefore, expert field engineers heavily depend upon trial-and-error methods. Therefore, FE analysis is performed to review the hot spinning process for forming the head part of the CNG vessel using the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. The effects of forming factors on the load were analyzed. The values of the factors were chosen to avoid defects in the head part and buckling, and the forming feasibility of the head part was investigated. Furthermore, a bursting test was performed to evaluate the safety of the storage vessel.

Experiments were conducted to determine the operating characteristics of a small-scale ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system for various low-temperature heat sources. A small-scale ORC power generation system adopting R-245fa as a working fluid was designed and manufactured. Hot water was used as the heat source, and the temperature was controlled using 110-kW electric resistance heaters that provided temperatures of up to $150^{\circ}C$. An open-drive oil-free scroll expander directly connected to a synchronous generator was installed in the ORC unit. Experiments were conducted by varying the rotational speed of the expander under the same heat source temperature conditions. The factors that influence the performance of the small-scale ORC system were analyzed and discussed.

To anlyze the diffuse axonal injury of the human brain, 3-D finite element models of the adult, two and three years child were developed. Triangular type acceleration which had its maximum value 200g was applied to investigate the effects of acceleration direction and duration time. The pattern of high shear stress generated at the brain stem, pones and midbrain was similar to the pattern of DAI seen in the clinical observation, especially high maximum shear stress was detected in the brain stem of the six year old child model under flexional acceleration. As the duration of acceleration increased generated pressure and maximum shear stress also increased. For the children's model relatively small pressure was generated regardless of the acceleration direction and continued much longer compared with adult's model. From this analysis maximum shear stress was revealed more proper indicator to predict DAI compared to HIC in case of angular acceleration loading.

우리가 소비하는 가공 식품은 위생상 안전하도록 살균처리가 이루어진다. 식품 내에 존재할 수 있는 유해 세균은 일정 살균온도에서 살균에 필요한 시간 동안 노출되면 사멸하며, 일반적으로 살균온도가 높을수록 살균에 필요한 시간은 단축된다. 연속살균장치는 혼합 및 저장탱크에 담겨진 식품을 점프로 이동시키면서 가열 열교환기에서 살균온도로 가열하고 단열관을 거치는 동안 살균온도를 유지시켜 살균을 완료한다. 또한 살균된 식품은 냉각용 열교환기에서 상온으로 냉각되며 이 과정에서 회수되는 열은 저장탱크에서 유입되는 식품의 예열에 사용되어 에너지 효율을 제고하는데 사용되기도 한다. 이와 같이 관을 이동하면서 가열되는 살균장치는 기존의 배치식 살균방법에 비하여 균일하게 가열이 이루어지므로 130C의 고온으로 살균할 수 있어서 살균에 필요한 시간을 수초에서 수십초 정도로 단축시킬 수가 있고 그에 따라 열손상을 크게 줄일 수 있다. 또한, 상온으로 냉각된 식품을 포장함으로써 저렴한 가격의 포장용기를 사용할 수 있고 상온에서 저장할 수 있으므로 저장비용이 저렴한 장점이 있다. 그러나, 가공식품에 고기나 야채와 같은 고체 상태의 식품이 함유된 경우에는 액상 식품이 열 교환기에서 순간 가열되며, 고상 식품은 액상식품과의 대류에 의한 열전달로 가열된다. 이 과정에서 고상식품은 이동관 내벽이나 다른 고상식품과 부딪치거나 회전하면서 이동관 내부에서 자유롭게 운동하게 된다. 이 과정에서 액상식품과의 상대이동 속도가 발생하여 이것이 대류열전달에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이 상대이동속도에 따른 대류 열전달계수는 고상식품의 내부온도 결정에 사용되는 연속살균장치의 중요한 설계인자이다. 대류열전달계수는 연속살균장치에서 자유로이 이동하는 고상식품의 중심부의 온도를 측정하여 결정할 수 있으나 이는 현실적으로 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고정된 고상식품에 액상식품을 이동시켜 상대속도를 재현하고 액상식품의 온도와 고상식품의 중심온도를 측정하는 장치를 개발하였으며, 각 상대속도와 액상식품의 점도 별 대류열전달계수를 결정하는 프로그램을 유한차분법을 이용하여 개발하였다. 이 장치를 분당 15, 30, 40 리터의 유량에서 유체의 점도를 0에서 15 centipoise 사이의 세 수준에서 정육면체 소고기를 모델 고상식품으로 내부 온도분포를 측정하였으며, 유한차분법 프로그램으로 대류열전달계수를 결정하였다. 대류열전달계수는 792에서 2,107 W/m$^2$로 분석되었다. 대류열전달 계수는 액상식품과의 상대속도가 증가함에 따라서 증가하였고, 점도가 증가함에 따라서는 감소하였다.

In the machine tool spindle, various tasks ranging from roughing to finishing must be possible, and the functions of constant speed movement or rotation positioning must be performed. Therefore, there are many variables to be considered in the spindle design. The Swiss Turn Type spindle automatic lathe is a good machine tool for working pins with thinner shafts than a fixed automatic lathe. The Swiss Turn Type spindle is mainly used for precision machining of small products, so the machining precision should be high. The maximum outer diameter limit shall be Ø32 and the inner diameter limit shall be Ø6. In this study, the static and dynamic characteristics of the SCM440 material used in the spindle type automatic lathe were analyzed by applying it to the Swiss turn type spindle automatic lathe. Numerical analysis was used to obtain optimal design technique with high speed and high accuracy considering the factors affecting the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle.

In general, verticality error necessarily occurs in marine pile foundation due to construction error or marine environmental effects. In marine structure, design by vertical load rather than horizontal load is dominant, but in the offshore wind turbine foundation, horizontal load is dominant. As the structure type that has dynamic movement by blade rotation, verticality error may have structurally significant effects. In this study, structural response feature of foundation and ground were analyzed according to verticality error of monopile foundation of 5MW offshore wind turbine. Marine environmental load was calculated per ISO standard and the margin of verticality error was calculated to be $L/{\infty}$(=0), L/300, L/200 and L/100. As a result of analysis, it was found that the maximum value of member force of the foundation with L/100 error increased about 7.2% compared to the monopile without verticality error.

The physical characteristics of autonomic microcapsules manufactured with various agitation speeds in a stirred tank were observed experimentally by a particle size analyzer and an optical microscope. The flow characteristics in a stirred tank were also investigated through a 3-dimensional numerical simulation to understand the manufacturing process of autonomic microcapsules. According to the results, we found that the agitation speed was the important factor to determine the sizes of microcapsules. The impeller-induced flow allowed the jet and tip-vortex pair components in the mixed fluid of a stirred tank. The vorticity around the blades in the impeller was increased as increasing the agitation speed. In addition, the size of autonomic microcapsules was strongly affected on the small scale mixing pattern such as a tip-vortex pair.
