PFA fluoropolymer lined technology revolutionized ball valve development and design decades ago and continues to be pivotal for many products and valve solutions in diverse industries and applications, such as chemical process, semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes, pharmaceutical and others. Because of the extreme operating conditions such as high-temperature (${\sim}120^{\circ}C$) and high-pressure (~10 bar), the reliability of the valve is very important for minimizing in-line leakage and fugitive emissions of strong corrosive chemicals (hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, etc.) transported through the lines. In this study, we investigated the flow characteristics with flow coefficient in a PFA lined ball valve for different opening degrees using CFD analyses. The results should be the guidance for a new PFA lined ball valve design that will incorporate all the acclaimed and demonstrated benefits of the current design approaches.

수치해석을 이용하여 아연공기전지의 전기화학적 성능을 예측하였다. KOH 수계전해질 내부의 이동현상을 예측하기 위하여 Nernst-Planck식을 사용하였고, 전극 표면의 활성화손실을 모사하기 위해 아연극(음극)에는 Butler-Volmer식을, 공기극(양극)에는 Tafel식을 적용하였다. 정상상태해석을 통하여 아연/공기전지의 I-V곡선을 도출하였으며, 실험결과와의 I-V곡선 비교/분석을 통하여 수치 해석 모델의 타당성을 검증하였다. 전지반응 진행에 따른 전해질 내부의 이온 이동 및 분포 특성을 조사하기 위해 과도상태해석을 수행하였으며, 전극주변에서의 ${Zn(OH)_4}^{-2}$, $OH^-$, $K^+$ 이온들의 농도변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 다양한 전지전압조건 하에서 반응시간에 따라 아연극 표면에서의 ${ZnOH_4}^{2-}$의 농도 변화를 해석한 결과, 반응진행시 아연극 표면에서 ${ZnOH_4}^{2-}$의 농도가 최고성능을 나타내는 운전전압 0.63 V에서 약 1초 만에 포화농도에 도달하였으며, 일반적인 운전조건인 1.04 V에서는 약 13초 만에 포화농도에 접근하는 것으로 나타났다.

In conventional LEDs, a mesa-structure is usually used and it causes the current to be overcrowded in a specific region. We propose a novel structure of GaN-based LED to overcome this problem. In order to distribute the current in an active region, a spreading pad is inserted at the p-type region in the GaN based LED device. The inserted spreading pad helps the current flow because it is more conductive than the p-type GaN layer. By performing electrical and optical simulations, the effects of the spreading pad insertion are confirmed. The results of electrical simulation show that the current spreads more uniformly and more radiative recombination is produced as well. Moreover, from the optical simulation, it is revealed that the ITO is less absorptive material than p-GaN if the condition of specific wavelength sources is satisfied. Considering all of the results, we can conclude that the luminescent power is enhanced by the spreading pad.

CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analyses that considered the dynamic interaction effects between the flow and a turbine were performed to evaluate the power output characteristics of two representative vertical-axis tidal-current turbines: an H-type Darrieus turbine and Gorlov helical turbine (GHT). For this purpose, a commercial CFD code, Star-CCM+, was utilized, and the power output characteristic were investigated in relation to the scale ratio using the relation between the Reynolds number and the lift-to-drag ratio. It was found that the power coefficients were significantly reduced when the scaled model turbine was used, especially when the Reynolds number was lower than $10^5$. The power output characteristics of GHT in relation to the twisting angle were also investigated using a three-dimensional CFD analysis, and it was found that the power coefficient was maximized for the case of a Darrieus turbine, i.e., a twisting angle of $0^{\circ}$, and the torque pulsation ratio was minimized when the blade covered $360^{\circ}$ for the case of a turbine with a twisting angle of $120^{\circ}$.

본 연구는 투명산화물반도체의 전기적인 특성과 산소공공과의 관계를 알아보기 위해서 $TiO_2$ 박막을 증착하여 MIM 구조를 만들어서 전압전류 특성을 관찰하였다. 산소공공은 XPS분석으로 이루어졌으며, 커패시턴스를 측정하여 전하의 용량이 많은 곳에서 산소공공이 어떤 영향을 주는가에 대하여도 조사하였다. 열처리를 통하여 결정질구조로 변하는 $TiO_2$ 박막은 산소공공이 가장 낮은 곳에서 커패시턴스 값이 가장 높았으며, 전하의 양이 많았다. 따라서 전하의 양이 많은 $TiO_2$박막이 $CO_2$ 가스에 대하여 가장 잘 민감하게 반응하는 것을 확인하였다.

Automobile underhood thermal and airflow simulation h α s been performed by using a commercial CFD program, FLUENT. To implement the radiation heat transfer effect to the underhood thermal and flow field, Discrete Ordinates Method(DOM) was used. The cooling fan was modeled by using the Multiple Reference Frame(MRF) technique. For the implementation of the heat exchangers, such as radiator and condenser, which are located in the front side of vehicle, the effectiveness-NTU model was used. The pressure drop throughout the heat exchangers was modeled as Porous media. For the validation of the current computational method, the coolant temperature at the inlet port of the radiator was compared with experimental data, and less than 3% error was observed. Finally, the composed model was used for the cooling fan spec determination process in the development of a new vehicle, and the results showed that the current CFD method could be successfully applied to the vehicle development process.

Korean shipbuilding companies have sometimes carried out sea trials to measure a vessel's speed performance around the western channel of the Straits of Korea, where the flow fields are very complicated because of the effect of various flows such as sea, tidal, geostrophic, and wind-driven currents. Because these flows seem to present significant interference to a ship, the numerical reproduction of the flow-fields in the vicinity of the target sites could provide a better understanding of the sea environments while performing sea trials. In this study, we used the MEC ocean model to simulate the tidal currents around Tsushima Island and compared the simulated tidal amplitudes and currents with the measurements of Teague et al. (2001). The tidal amplitudes of the present simulation results agreed well with the observations. Based on the numerical simulation, the optimal direction and proper sites for a speed trial are described.

The electrochemical oxidation of cerium(III) was carried out using divided and undivided electrochemical cells in nitric acid medium. It was found that divided cell with Nafion 324 as the separator gave good conversion yield with high current efficiency compared to the undivided cell. The efficiency of the divided electrochemical cell was further optimized in terms of cell voltage, temperature, flow rate of solution recirculation, concentrations of Ce(III) and nitric acid. The better conditions for 1 M Ce(III) in 3 M nitric acid were found to be 2.5 V, 363 K and 100 mL/min recirculation flow rate based on the current efficiency under the experimental conditions investigated. The Ce(IV) oxidant produced was used as a mediator for the mineralization of phenol. The mineralization efficiency of the cerium mediated electrochemical oxidation was found rapid and higher compared to the direct electrochemical oxidation based on CO2 evolution under the same conditions.

This paper proposes pre-analysis on planning of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system applied to Korea electric power grid. HVDC transmission system for interface lines has been considered as alternative solution for high-voltage AC transmission line in South Korea since constructing new high-voltage AC transmission lines is challenging due to political, environmental and social acceptance problems. However, the installation of HVDC transmission system as interface line in AC grid must be examined carefully. Thus, this paper suggests three scenarios to examine the influences of the installation of HVDC transmission system in AC grid. The power flow and contingency analyses are carried out for the proposed scenarios. Power reserves in metro area are also evaluated. And then the transient stability analysis focusing on special protection scheme (SPS) operations is analyzed when critical lines, which are HVDC lines or high voltage AC lines, are tripped. The latest generic model of HVDC system is considered for evaluating the impacts of the SPS operations for introducing HVDC system in the AC grid. The analyses of proposed scenarios are evaluated by electromechanical simulation.
