Air gun shock systems are commonly used as alternative explosion energy sources for underwater explosion (UNDEX) shock tests owing to their low cost and environmental impact. The airbag inflator of automotive airbag systems is also very useful to generate extremely rapid underwater gas release in labscale tests. To overcome the restrictions on the very small computational time step owing to the very fine fluid mesh around the nozzle hole in the explicit integration algorithm, and also the absence of a commercial solver and software for gas UNDEX of airbag inflator, an idealized airbag inflator and fluid mesh modeling technique was developed using nozzle holes of relatively large size and several small TNT charges instead of gas inside the airbag inflator. The objective of this study is to validate the results of an UNDEX response analysis of one and two idealized airbag inflators by comparison with the results of shock tests in a small water tank. This comparison was performed using the multi-material Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation and fluid-structure interaction algorithm. The number, size, vertical distance from the nozzle outlet, detonation velocity, and lighting times of small TNT charges were determined. Through mesh size convergence tests, the UNDEX response analysis and idealized airbag inflator modeling were validated.

표고버섯 폐골목의 대체에너지 자원으로서의 가능성을 살펴보기 위하여 폐골목을 사용연수별로 구분하고 동일 수종의 정상재와 함께 화학적, 물리적 성상을 비교, 조사하였다. 또한 폐골목에 잔존하는 효소에 의한 전처리 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 기존의 전처리 방법인 폭쇄처리법과 비교하였다. 사용연수에 따른 화학적 성상의 변화는 회분, 수용성 추출물, alkali 추출물, 유기용매 추출물 함량 모두 뚜렷한 경향을 나타내진 않았지만 균주를 접종한 직후 폐골목에서 정상재보다 높은 함량을 나타내었다. Holocellulose 함량은 큰 폭으로 감소하였고 다른 주성분인 lignin 함량은 균주 접종 전후에 큰 변화를 보여주지 않았지만 cellulose 함량이 큰 폭으로 감소한 것을 고려하면 균주에 의해 상당량의 lignin 분해가 진행되었다. 부후정도는 균주 접종 후 점차 증가하는 모습을 보였지만, 결정화도는 급격히 감소하였다. 폭쇄처리에 의한 화학적, 물리적 성상의 변화로서 수용성 추출물, alkali 추출물, 유기용매 추출물 함량은 큰 폭으로 증가하였고, holocellulose 함량도 소폭 상승하였지만 lignin 함량은 특별한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 다른 추출물의 함량이 급격히 증가한 것을 고려하면 holocellulose와 lignin 모두 감소하였다고 생각된다. 폭쇄처리에 의한 결정화도의 감소는 균주 접종 후의 감소폭과 비슷한 결과를 나타내었고, 인위적으로 부후시킨 재료에 대한 lignin 함량은 폐골목의 함량보다 감소하여 잔존 효소에 의한 전처리 가능성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아 폐골목은 대체에너지 자원으로서 충분한 가능성을 갖고 있다고 사료된다.

Air gun shock system is used as an alternative energy source as part of the attempt to overcome the restrictions of economical expense and environmental damage, etc., due to the use of explosives for the UNDerwater EXplosion (UNDEX) shock test. The objectivity of this study is to develop the simulation technique of air gun shock test for the design of model-scale one for the near field non-explosive UNDEX test through its verification with full-scale SERCEL shock test result. Underwater blasting response analysis of full-scale air gun shock test was carried out using highly advanced M&S (Modeling & Simulation) system of FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code, and was verified by comparing its shock characteristics and behaviors with the results of air gun shock test.

Hydrogen is seen as one of the important energy vectors of the next century. Hydrogen as a renewable energy source, provides the potential for a sustainable development particularly in the transportation sector. Hydrogen driven vehicles reduce both local as well as global emissions. The laboratory of transporttechnology (University of Gent) converted a GM/Crusader V-8 engine for hydrogen use. Once the engine is optimised, it will be built in a low-floor midsize hydrogen city bus for public demonstration. For a complete control of the combustion process and to increase the resistance to backfire (explosion of the air-fuel mixture in the inlet manifold), a sequential timed multipoint injection of hydrogen and an electronic management system is chosen. The results as a function of the engine parameters (ignition timing. injection timing and duration, injection pressure) we given. Special focus is given to topics related to the use of hydrogen as a fuel: ignition characteristics (importance of electrode distance), quality of the lubricating oil (crankcase gases with high contents of hydrogen), oxygen sensors (very lean operating conditions), noise reduction (configuration and length of inlet pipes). The advantages and disadvantages of a power regulation only by the air to fuel ratio (as for diesel engines) against a throttle regulation (normal gasoline or gas regulation) are examined. Finally the goals of the development of the engine are reached: power output of 90 kW, torque of 300 Nm, extremely low emission levels and backfire-safe operation.
