Recently, most of the countries started to regulate the emission of vehicle because of the global warming. The engine scooter is also one of the factor which cause the pollution. The hybrid system of a vehicle has many advantages such as fuel saving and emission reduction. The purpose of this study is to choose optimal size of engine, motor and battery for hybrid scooter system using Dynamic programming. The dynamic programming is an effective method to find an optimal solution for the complicated nonlinear system, which contains various constraints of control variables. The power source size of hybrid scooter was chosen through the backward simulator using dynamic programming. From the analysis, we choose the optimal size of each power source. To verify the optimal size of the power source, the Forward simulation was carried out. As a result, the fuel efficiency of hybrid scooter has significantly increased in comparison with that of engine scooter.

This study presents the integrated modeling approach to simulate the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system for vehicle application. The fuel cell system consisting of stack and balance of plant (BOP) was simulated with MATLAB/Simulink environment to estimate the maximum system power and investigate the effect of BOP component sizing on system performance and efficiency. The PEM fuel cell stack model was established by using a semi-empirical modeling. To maximize the net efficiency of fuel cel1 system, multi-variable optimization code was adopted. Using this method the optimized operating values were obtained according to various system net power levels. The fuel cell model established was co-linked to AVL CRUISE, a vehicle simulation package. Through the vehicle simulation software, the fuel economy of fuel cell powered electric vehicle for two types of driving cycles was presented and compared. It is expected that this study tan be effectively employed in the basic BOP component sizing and in establishing system operation map with respect to net power level of fuel cell system.

The proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system consisting of stack and balance of plant (BOP) was modeled in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. High-pressure operating (compressor type) and low-pressure operating (air blower type) fuel cell systems were con­sidered. The effects of two main operating parameters (humidity and the pressure of the supplied gas) on the power distribution characteristics of BOP and the net system efficiency of the two systems mentioned above were compared and discussed. The simulation determines an optimum condition regarding parameters such as the cathode air pressure and the relative humidity for maximum net system efficiency for the operating fuel cell systems. This study contributes to get a basic insight into the fuel cell stack and BOP component sizing. Further research using muli­object variable optimization packages and the approach developed by this study can effectively contribute to an operating strategy for the practical use of fuel cell systems for vehicles.

Cast austenitic stainless steel(CASS) is used in the primary cooling piping system of nuclear power plant for it's relative low cost, corrosion resistance and easy of welding. However, the coarse-grain structure of cast austenitic stainless steel can strongly affect the inspectability of ultrasonic testing. The major problems encountered during inspection are beam skewing, high attenuation and high background noise of CASS component. So far, the best inspection performance involving CASS components have been achieved using low frequency TRL(Transmitter/Receiver side-by-side L wave) angle beam probe. But TRL technique could not detect shallow defect and it contains an uncertainty for sizing capability. Currently, most of researchers are studying to overcome these challenge issue. In this study, low-frequency phased array TRL technique used to detect and sizing the flaws in CF8A cast austenitic stainless steel.As conclusion, we could detect and size not only axial flaw but also circumferential flaw using low frequency phased array technique.

A Very High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (VHTR) has been selected as a high energy heat source of the order of $950^{\circ}C$ for nuclear hydrogen generation, which can produce hydrogen from water or natural gas. A primary hot gas duct (HGD) as a coaxial double-tube type cross vessel is a key component connecting a reactor pressure vessel and an intermediate heat exchanger in the VHTR. In this study, a structural sizing methodology for the primary HGD of the VHTR is suggested in order to modulate a flow-induced vibration (FIV). And as an example, a structural sizing of the horizontal HGD with a coaxial double-tube structure was carried out using the suggested method. These activities include a decision of the geometric dimensions, a selection of the material, and an evaluation of the strength of the coaxial double-tube type cross vessel components. Also in order to compare the FIV characteristics of the proposed design cases, a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis was carried out using the ADINA code.

Very High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (VHTR) has been selected as a high energy heat source for nuclear hydrogen generation. The VHTR can produce hydrogen from heat and water by using a thermo-chemical process or from heat, water, and natural gas by steam reformer technology. A co-axial double-tube primary hot gas duct (HGD) is a key component connecting the reactor pressure vessel and the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) for the VHTR. In this study, a preliminary design analysis for the primary HGD of the nuclear hydrogen system was carried out. These preliminary design activities include a determination of the size, a strength evaluation and an appropriate material selection. The determination of the size was undertaken based on various engineering concepts, such as a constant flow velocity model, a constant flow rate model, a constant hydraulic head model, and finally a heat balanced model.

용접부 및 구조물에 발생된 결함의 깊이를 정밀하게 측정하기 위한 노력은 현재까지 계속되어 왔으며 앞으로도 계속되어야 할 연구분야중의 하나이다. TOFD 검사기법은 현재까지 결함의 깊이를 측정하기 위한 여러 가지 검사 방법중에 가장 정밀한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 사용하는 초음파 굴절각에 따른 빔의 도달범위에 의하여 결함을 놓칠 우려가 있다. 본 여구에서는 일반적인 TOFD 기법대신 위상배열 초음파 기법을 이용한 TOFD 검사를 적용하여 두께가 두꺼운 검사대상에 대하여 결함의 검출능 및 깊이 측정결과를 비교하였다. 위상배열 초음파를 이용한 TOFD 검사를 사용함으로써 다양한 결함에 대하여 검출능 및 정확한 깊이 측정이 가능함을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 위상배열 TOFD 기법은 발전설비의 압력용기와 같은 두꺼운 검사대상에 적용될 경우 검사 신뢰도 향상에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

그 동안 하이브리드 버스에 대한 연구로 플러그인 하이브리드, 직렬형, 병렬형 하이브리드 등에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되어져 왔다. 하지만 연구가 진행된 대부분의 차량들은 대형 버스이며 현재 국내에는 중형저상버스에 대한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 또한 중형저상버스의 하이브리드화에 대한 연구 역시 미미한 실정이다. 본 논문은 MATLAB을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 디젤 중형저상버스의 연비 평가를 수행하였으며, 이를 하이브리드화하였을 경우에 대한 최적의 용량 조합과 기어비를 제시하고 내연기관 시뮬레이션 연비 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 하이브리드화를 위한 구조로 전륜과 후륜이 독립적으로 동력을 전달하는 병렬형 하이브리드 시스템을 선택하였다. 동력원 용량 설계를 위해 목표 성능을 만족하는 요구파워를 계산하여 적용 가능한 동력원 용량 영역을 설계하였다. 설계 영역을 만족하는 각 단품들의 용량은 스케일링하여 구성하였으며, 엔진과 모터에 대한 동력 전달계의 용량 설계 알고리즘을 제시하고 동적 계획법을 이용하여 최적화를 수행하였다. 최종적으로 본 연구를 통해 내연기관 차량인 중형저상버스를 하이브리드화하였을 경우에 대한 연비 향상률과 최적의 동력원 용량, 기어비를 제시하였다.
