Three-way catalyst converter, cleaning up the exhaust gas contamination of SI engine, has the best efficiency when A/F ratio is near the stoichiometry . The feedback control using oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold has limits caused by the system delays. So the accurate measurement of air flow rate to an engine is essential to control the fuel injection rate especially on transient condition like the rapid throttle opening and closing. To measure the rapid change of flow rates. the air flow meter for the engine requires quick response, flow reversal detection, and linearity . Tjhe proposed integration type air flow meter (IFM), composed of an ultrasonic flow meter with an integration circuit, has significantly improved the measurement accuracy of air mass inducted through the throttle body. The proposed control method estimated the air mass at the cylinder port using the measured air mass at the throttle . For the fuel dynamic model, the two constant fuel model is introduced . The control parameters from air and fuel dynamics are tuned to minimize the excursion of the air fuel ratio. As a result A/F ratio excursion can be reduced within 5% when throttle rapidly opens and closes at the various engine conditions.

We present a novel flow-rate independent cell counter using a fixed control volume between double electrical sensing zones. The previous device based on the single electrical cell sensing in a given flow-rate requires an accurate fluid volume measurement or precision flow rate control. The present cell counter, however, offers the flow-rate independent method for the cell concentration measurement with counting cells in a fixed control volume of $22.9{\pm}0.98{\mu}{\ell}$. In the experimental study, using the RBC (Red Blood Cell), we have compared the measured RBC concentrations from the fabricated devices with those from Hemacytometer. The previous and present devices show the maximum errors of $20.3\%\;and\;16.1\%$, which are in the measurement error range of Hemacytometer (about $20\%$). The present device also shows the flow-rate independent performance at the constant flow-rates ($5{\mu}{\ell}/min$ and $10{\mu}{\ell}/min$) and the varying flow-rate (4, 2, and $4{\mu}{\ell}/min$). Therefore, we demonstrate that the present cell counter is a simple and automated method for the cell concentration measurement without requiring an accurate fluid measurement and precision flow-rate control.

Separation control has been performed using synthetic jets on airfoil at high angle of attack. Computed results demonstrated that stall characteristics and control surface performance could be substantially improved by resizing separation vortices. It was observed that the actual flow control mechanism and flow structure is fundamentally different depending on the range of synthetic jet frequency. For low frequency range, small vortices due to synthetic jet penetrated to the large leading edge separation vortex, and as a result, the size of the leading edge vortex was remarkably reduced. For high frequency range, however, small vortex did not grow up enough to penetrate into the leading edge separation vortex. Instead, synthetic jet firmly attached the local flow and influenced the circulation of the virtual airfoil shape which is the combined shape of the main airfoil with the separation vortex. Theses results show the characteristic of unsteady flow of single synthetic jet. Beside, we researched on multi-array synthetic jet to obtain applicable synthetic jet velocity. Multi-location synthetic jet is proposed to eliminate small vortex on suction surface of airfoil. With the results, we concluded that the flow around airfoil is stable by high frequency synthetic jet with elimination of small vortex and confirmation of stable flow. Moreover, performance of multi-array/multi-location synthetic jet can be improved by changing phase angle of multi-location synthetic jet.

A wind power heat generation system that converts wind power directly to heat instead of electric power is considered in this study. The system consists of a wind turbine part and a heat generation part. The heat generation part is materialized by a hydraulic system including a hydraulic pump, a flow control valve, a hydraulic oil tank, etc. The flow control valve primarily converts hydraulic energy generated in the pump to heat energy. It should have a function of overspeed protection under excessive wind speeds. In this study, a novel flow control valve design is proposed for excellent flow control characteristics under excessive pump driving torque (excessive wind speed). The performance of the suggested valve is analyzed using numerical simulation.

사각형 및 원형 출구 형상 synthetic jet의 수치적 연구를 통하여 유입류가 존재할 경우 평판에서의 유동 구조 및 유동 제어 효과를 분석하였다. 사각형 출구 형상의 경우, jet 직후에 강한 vortex가 생성되지만 주변에 적은 momentum을 공급하기 때문에 유입류 방향으로 갈수록 유동제어 효과가 감소하게 된다. 원형 출구 형상의 경우, 규칙적인 vortex의 형태가 slot 중앙부터 끝까지 나타나고 보다 멀리까지 jet vorticity의 영향이 미치게 된다. 유동제어 효과를 예상하기 위하여 위치 별 wall shear stress를 비교하였다. 이에 원형 출구 형상이 사각형 출구 형상보다 유동제어 효과가 더 클 것으로 판단된다. 또한 최적의 원형 출구 형상을 도출하기 위하여, hole gap과 diameter의 변화에 따른 유동 구조 및 유동 제어 효과를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, hole diameter와 gap를 고려하여 원형 출구 형상을 설계할 경우 유동제어 효과를 극대화 할 수 있음을 밝혔다.

Contents 1 Abstract- In the thermal power plant, there are six manipulated variables; main steam flow, feedwater flow, air flow, spray flow, fuel flow, and gas recirculation flow. Therefore, the thermal power plant control system is a multi-input and output system. In the control system, the main steam temperature typically is regulated by the fuel flow rate and the spray flow rate, and the reheater steam temperature is regulated by the gas recirculation flow rate. Up to the present time, the PID controller has been used to operate this system. This paper focuses on the characteristic comparison of the PID controller, the modified 2-DOF PID Controller on the DCS, in order to design an optimal...

We study an optimal control problem of the fluid flow governed by the navier-Stokes equations. The control problem is formulated with the flow in the driven cavity. Existence of an optimal solution and first-order optimality condition of the optimal control are derived. We report the numerical results for the finite eleme수 approximations of the optimal solutions.

본 연구에서는 실속 받음각 근처에 발생하는 익형 위의 유동박리를 억제하기 위하여 인공신경망 기반의 피드백 유동제어를 NACA0015 익형에 수치적으로 적용하였다. 익형 위 박리영역 크기의 축소화라는 제어 목표를 달성하기 위해 익형의 박리 지점 근처에 인위적 외란(Blowing & Suction) 제어 신호를 적용하였다. 유동의 운동을 나타내는 시스템 모델링 단계에서 압력데이터에 적합직교분해(Proper Orthogonal Decomposition)를 적용하여 유동제어에 필요한 운동 모드를 추출하고 유동의 특성을 분석하였다. 분해된 모드를 기반으로 NARX(Nonlinear AutoRegressive Exogenous) 구조의 인공 신경망을 학습하여 유동의 운동을 나타내도록 하였으며, 최종적으로 피드백 제어루프에 작동시켰다. 예측된 제어신호를 CFD 해석에 적용하였으며 제어 유/무에 따른 공력특성을 분석하고 익형 주변의 고유 공간모드의 변화를 비교하여 제어 효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 진행된 피드백 제어는 약 29%의 압력항력 감소효과를 보여주었으며, 이는 익형 뒷전의 큰 압력회복으로 인해 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents digital microflow controllers(DMFC), where a fluidic digital-to-analog converter(DAC) is used to achieve high-linearity, fine-level flow control for applications to precision biomedical dosing systems. The fluidic DAC, composed of binary-weighted flow resistance, controls the flow-rate based on the ratio of the flow resistance to achieve high-precision flow-rate control. The binary-weighted flow resistance has been specified by a serial or a parallel connection of an identical flow resistor to improve the linearity of the flow-rate control, thereby making the flow-resistance ratio insensitive to the size uncertainty in flow resistors due to micromachining errors. We have designed and fabricated three different types of 4-digit DMFC: Prototype S and P are composed of the serial and the parallel combinations of an identical flow resistor, while Prototype V is based on the width-varied flow resistors. In the experimental study, we perform a static test for DMFC at the forward and backward flow conditions as well as a dynamic tests at pulsating flow conditions. The fabricated DMFC shows the nonlinearity of 5.0% and the flow-rate levels of 16(2$^{N}$) for the digital control of 4(N) valves. Among the 4-digit DMFC fabricated with micromachining errors, Prototypes S and P show 27.2% and 27.6% of the flow-rate deviation measured from Prototype V, respectively; thus verifying that Prototypes S and P are less sensitive to the micromachining error than Prototype V.V.
