Dynamic behavior of an ammonia-water absorption system was investigated numerically. Thermal-hydraulic model for a single-effect 3 RT chiller was developed by applying transient conservation equations of total mass, $NH_3$ mass, energy and momentum to each component. Transient variations of system properties and transport variables were analysed during start-up operation. Numerical analyses were performed to quantify the effects of bulk concentration and charging ratio on the system performance in terms of cooling capacity, coefficient of performance, and time constant of system. For an absorption chiller considered in the present study, optimum charging ratio and bulk concentration were to found to exist, which resulted in the maximum cooling capacity and COP. The time constant increased as the charging ratio increased, but decreased with the increase of bulk concentration.

Purpose : Proprioceptive position sense plays a key role in providing joint stability, and multiple factors are related to proprioceptive position sense. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effects of body composition, particularly skeletal muscle mass on proprioceptive position sense following muscle fatigue. Methods : Healthy female subjects agreed to have their body composition analyzed. Only subjects who had 18.5-22.9 kg/㎡ of BMI (body mass index) were included in this study, and the participants were divided into two groups by skeletal muscle mass level. The experimental group had a level of skeletal muscle lower than the standard level (n=9), while the control group showed a standard or high level of skeletal muscle mass (n=11). To determine the change in proprioceptive position sense of the knee joint, the absolute angle error (AAE) was evaluated following muscle fatigue on low extremity. The muscle fatigue was induced by isokinetic resistance exercise program of Biodex system. AAE was measured by the Biodex system and compared the result before and after muscle fatigue. Results : The experimental group showed a significant AAE difference between before (3.16±2.48 °) and after (5.40±2.61 °) muscle fatigue. In addition, there was a AAE difference between the experimental (5.40±2.61 °) and control groups (3.53±1.67 °) after fatigue; however, there was no significance. Those results indicated that low level of skeletal muscle mass might influence the proprioceptive position sense of the knee joint after muscle fatigue. Conclusion : Thus, maintaining the proper level of skeletal muscle mass is pivotal to reduce the risk of injury following muscle fatigue in ADL or sport activities.

The present paper proposes a novel cableless magnetic actuator with a new propulsion module that exhibits a very high thrusting force. This actuator contains an electrical inverter that directly transforms DC from button batteries into AC. The electrical DC-AC inverter incorporates a mass-spring system, a reed switch, and a curved permanent magnet that switches under an electromagnetic force. The actuator is moved by the inertial force of the mass-spring system due to mechanical resonance energy. The experimental results show that the actuator is able to move upward at a speed of 33 mm/s when using 10 button batteries when pulling a 10 g load mass. This cableless magnetic actuator has several possible applications, including narrow-pipe inspection and maintenance.

Isotopic analysis using thermal ionization mass spectrometry coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEM-TIMS) was performed to determine the isotopic ratios of uranium contained in micro-particles in the 6th Nuclear Signatures Interlaboratory Measurement Evaluation Programme (NUSIMEP-6) sample. Elemental analysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was conducted on uranium-bearing mirco-particles, which were transferred to rhenium filaments for TIMS loading using a micromanipulation system in a SEM. A multi-ion-counter system was utilized to detect the ion signals of the four isotopes of uranium simultaneously. The isotope ratios of uranium corrected by bracketing using a reference material showed excellent agreement with the certified values. The measurement accuracy for $n(^{234}U)/n(^{238}U)$ and (b) $n(^{235}U)/n(^{238}U)$ was 10% and 1%, respectively, which met the requirements for qalification for the NetWork of Analytical Laboratories (NWAL).

기존의 CFC 계열 및 HCFC 계열 냉매들이 오존층 붕괴와 지구온난화의 원인들 중의 한가지로 밝혀지면서 이것을 대체할 수 있는 냉매의 개발은 주요한 연구과제였다. 이제 몇 가지 대체 냉매들이 개발되면서 이것들 이 냉동시스템에 사용될 때 발생하는 상용성 (Compatibility)이 연구될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 대체냉매의 상용성 연구의 일환으로 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane(HFC-134a) +1,1,1-Trifluoroetane(HFC-143a) + Pentafluoroethane (HFC-125)의 혼합대체냉매 HFC-404a 와 냉매 윤활유의 하나인 POE 오일 혼합물의 증기압을 측정하였다. 측정온도범위는 냉매 시스템의 운전온도를 고려하여, 263.15K 에서 323.15 K로 하였으며 오일농도범위는 0 mass% 에서 90 mass% 까지로 하였다. 측정결과 273.15K 이하의 온도에서 오일 농도 30 mass%까지 증기압에 대한 오일의 영향은 미미하였으며 50 mass% 이상에서는 증기압이 급격히 떨어지는 것이 밝혀졌다. 측정자료를 이용하여 HFC-404a와 POE 오일 혼합물의 증기압을 예측할 수 있는 모형을 개발 하기 위하여 Rault 모델과 Flory-Huggins 모델을 사용하여 측정치와 비교하였다. 그리고 보다 정확하고 실용적으로 증기압을 예측할 수 있는 경험식을 도출하였다.

A numerical analysis is performed to evaluate mass flow balance in the heat exchanger for the dehumidifier. To improve the mass flow balance for maximum heat transfer performance, inlet, outlet and baffle are changed. Mass flow balance is evaluated by non-uniformity of flow which is the same concept with the standard deviation. Usually, there will occur many paths between the inlet and the outlet, however, it will follow shortest and low resistance ways. The uniform distribution of flow is numerically analyzed for several types of heat exchangers. Making the shortest way between the inlet and the outlet is most important factor. Two types of heat exchangers are installed in the dehumidifier and 4 cases of Type A heat exchangers and 3 cases of Type B heat exchangers are evaluated and optimized. The result of this research is applied to design heat exchanger for commercial dehumidifiers.

Characteristics of flow rate control has been studied for a cavitating venturi adopted in a liquid rocket propellant feed system. Numerical simulation has been peformed to give about $10\%$ discrepancy of mass flow rate to the experimental data for cavitating flow regime. Mass flow rate is confirmed to be saturated for pressure difference higher than $3\times10^5$pa when the upstream pressure is fixed to $22.8\times10^5$pa and the downstream pressure is varied. The evaporation amount depends substantially to non-condensable gas concentration. However the mass flow rate characteristic is relatively insensitive to the mass fraction of non-condensable gas. So it is reduced by only $2\%$ when the non- condensable gas concentration is increased from 1.5PPM to 150PPM. From the previous comparison the expansions of the non-condensable gas and the evaporation of liquid are verified to have same effect to pressure recovery.

1997읜 이후 한국기초과학지원연구원에 K-Ar 연대 측정 시스템이 도입되어 현재 이용중이다. 이 시스템은 흑연전기로, 가스 전처리 장치, 질량분석기와 자료획득장치로 구성되어 있으며 K-Ar연대 측정은 $^{38}$ Ar을 스파이크로 이용하는 동위원소 희석법에 의한 정밀한 Ar 농도 측정과 원자흡광분석을 통한 K 정량분석에의해 이루어진다. 연대가 잘 알려진 K-Ar 연대측정용 표준물질을 이용하여 시스템의 정밀성과 정확성을 확인하였다. 백만년 이하의 연대를 갖는 시료의 경우 질량분석기의 감도와 질량차별지수의 미약한 변화에도 큰영향을 받기 때문에 정확한 연대 측정이 곤란하나 중생대 및 제 3기의 K-Ar 연대를 갖는 표준시료의 연대를 측정했을 때, 믿을 만한 결과를 내고 있다. $92.6\pm$0.6 Ma의 연대가 알려진 SORI93혹운모의 경우 92.1$\pm$1.1 Ma의 연대를 얻을 수 있었고, $18.5\pm$0.6 Ma의 Bern4M 백운모는 권고치와 유사한 $17.8\pm$0.2 Ma의 연대를 얻을 수 있었다. .

Marine structures are often in contact with inner or outer fluid as stern, ballast and oil tanks. The effect of interaction between fluid and structure has to be taken into consideration when we estimate the dynamic response of the structure appropriately. Fatigue damages can also be sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance. Thin walled tank structures in ships which are in contact with water and located near engine or propeller where vibration characteristics are strongly affected by the added mass of containing water. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration characteristics of tank structures. But it is difficult to estimate exactly the magnitude of the added mass because this is a fluid-structure interaction problem and is affected by the free surface, vibration modes of structural panels and the depth of water. I have developed a numerical tool of vibration analysis of 3-dimensional tank structure using finite elements for plates and boundary elements for fluid region. In the present study, the effect of added mass of containing water, the effect of structural constraint between panels on the vibration characteristics are investigated numerically and discussed. Especially a natural frequencies by the fluid interaction between 2 panels and a breath mode of the water tank are focused on.
