The thermal performance of glass evacuated tube solar collectors are numerically and experimentally investigated. Four different shapes of solar collectors are considered and the performances of these solar collectors are compared. Dealing with a single collector tube, the effects of not only the shapes of the absorber tube but also the incidence angle of solar irradiation (beam irradiation) on thermal performance of the collector are studied. However, the solar irradiation consists of the beam irradiation as well as the diffuse irradiation. Also, the interference of solar irradiation and heat transfer interaction between the tubes exist in an actual solar collector, These effects are considered in this study experimentally and numerically. The accuracy of the numerical model is verified by the experimental results. The result shows that the thermal performance of the absorber used a plate fin and U-tube is the best.

Thin-walled tubes have been widely used as energy absorbing devices because they are light and have high energy-absorption efficiency. However, the downside is that conventional thin-walled tubes usually exhibit an excessive initial peak crushing force (IPCF) and a large fluctuation in the load-displacement curve, and thus lack stability as energy absorbing devices. Corrugated tubes were introduced to reduce IPCF and to increase the stability of collision energy-absorbing devices. Since the performance of corrugated tubes is highly influence by geometry, design optimization methods can be utilized to optimize the performance of corrugated tubes. In this paper, we utilize shape design optimization based on an adaptive surrogate model for crashworthiness analysis. The amplitude and wavelength of the corrugation, as well as curvature changes in the features, are the design variables. A morphing methodology is adopted to perform shape design parameterization. Through numerical examples, we compare optimal design results based on the adaptive surrogate model, with optimal results based on conventional surrogate models, and we show that direct optimal design methods produce more efficient results.

전파흡수체의 전파흡수능 측정방법은 기본적으로 다양한 마이크로파 측정법이 이용될수 있지만 레이다용 전파흡수체의 경우 전파의 주파수가 높기 때문에 파장이 짧아서 측정오차가 큰 문제점이 있다. 따라서 한국해양대학교 마이크로파연구실에서는 전파흡수체의 전파흡수능을 실험적으로 간단히 측정할 수 있게 하기 위한 20mm$\Phi$동축관 샘플홀더 및 Type-N connector로부터 20mm$\Phi$동축관으로의 변환 Adaptor를 제작하여 전파흡수체의 설계 및 특성(전파흡수능) 평가에 사용할 수있게 한 바 있으며 또 구형도파관을 이용한 재료정수 측정법을 채용하여 시료의 형상등의 영향을 적게 받는 실측 방법에 관하여 검토하여왔다 본 논문에서는 그동안 실험실적으로 설계하여 온 X-Band Radar용 전파흡수체를 실용의 상태에 가까운 반사전력법에 의하여 그 성능을 예비평가하고 실제의 target를 제작하여 X-Band Radar로 실장실험한 결과에 대하여 보고하고자 한다.

The thermal performances of glass evacuated tube solar collectors are numerically investigated. Four different shapes of solar collectors are considered and the performances of these solar collectors are numerically investigated. Dealing with only collecting tube, the effects of not only the shape of the absorber tube but also the incidence angle of solar irradiation on the thermal performance of the collector are studied because the energy obtained by the absorber can be varied according to the incidence angle of solar radiation. However, the solar irradiation consists of the beam radiation as well as the diffuse radiation. Also, in actual system, the interference of solar irradiation and heat transfer interaction between the tubes should be considered. Therefore, this study considered these effects is carried out experimentally and numerically. The accuracy of the numerical model is verified by experiments. The result shows that the thermal performance of the absorber used a plate fin and U-tube is about $25\%$ better than those of the other models.

For performance improvement and compactness, usage of enhanced tube is inevitable. However, studies on enhanced tubes for generator is very limited. In this study, pool boiling tests were conducted for 7 heat transfer tubes. Test range covered pressure 7.38~101.3 kPa and heat flux $20{\sim}40kW/m^2$. Results show that boiling heat transfer coefficient increases as pressure or heat flux increases. Under atmospheric condition, high heat transfer coefficients were obtained for notched fin and low fin tubes(225% and 202% of the 19.0 mm smooth tube, which yielded the lowest heat transfer coefficient). As pressure decreased, high heat transfer coefficients were obtained for a low fin tube(290% and 288% of the 19.0 mm smooth tube at 12.34 and 7.38 kPa).

As a method to measure the absorbing characteristics of microwave absorber, the various microwave measuring method can be used fundamentally. There is, however, a big problem in measuring errors, since the wavelength of microwave such as used for radar is very short. Therefore, this research aimed to design and fabricate a converting adaptor of 20mm .PHI. coaxial tube from a Type - N connector to $20mm\phi$ coaxial tube and to use it for evaluating absorption characteristics of microwave absorber. Furthermore, the measurements of absorbing characteristics and material constants have been performed and reviewed, which were carried out by using the coaxial tube and by using rectangular waveguide, res- pectively. As a result, the validity of the proposed measuring method has been confirmed.

The landing gear of an aircraft is a device that absorbs and dissipates shock energy transmitted from the ground to the fuselage. Among the landing gears, the semi-active MR damper landing gear is supposed to show high-shock absorption efficiency under various landing conditions and secure the stability when out of control. In the case of the MR damper landing gear using an annular channel rather than orifice, Amesim, a commercial multi-physics program, is considered as more useful than the conventional two-degree-of-freedom model because the damping force generated by the pressure drop through the flow annular path can cause cavitation in the low-pressure chamber of the MR damper with a specific internal structure. In this paper, the main dynamic characteristics of the MR damper landing gear with an annular type flow path structure has been analyzed under the condition of cavitation. Based on the analysis results using Amesim, a design guideline for the MR damper flow path that prevents cavitation has been proposed based on the modification of the arrangement of internal components of the damper. The guideline was verified through a drop simulation.
