Generally, the flow hunting is observed in almost all of the orifice meters but the intensity of the flow hunting is different at each metering system. So, we were getting some Questions as follows; why such a difference occurs and whether it influence to metering error rate or not. To investigate the flow hunting characteristics, we are trying to examine the flow characteristics around the orifice meter when the transient flow or pressure is generated at after the PCV(Pressure Control Valve) by 3D CFD method. And we have compared numerical results with experimental results at M - PCV station in order to clarify the relations with both the metering-pipeline diameter and flow rate. Finally, we can show some major factors influencing to the flow hunting and propose some correcting scheme of the flow hunting equation.

반 밀폐형 공간에서 발생되는 비등온 고농도의 연무를 제거하기 위해 필요한 배연량 산정을 위한 실형과 모형사이의 Froude 상사연구를 시행하였다. Zukoski의 연무상승 방정식을 기반으로 하는 무차원 상사방정식을 구성한 다음 체적 $1\;m^3(1\;m\;{\times}\;1\;m\;{\times}\;1\;m)$인 모형 A와 체적 $0.125\;m^3(0.5\;m\;{\times}\;0.5\;m\;{\times}\;0.5\;m)$인 모형 B를 사용하여 기하학적 상사성에 따른 파라메터인 무차원 에너지방출량과 무차원 질량유량과의 상관관계를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험적 결과는 고농도 배연에 관련하며 구성된 이론적 상사가 타당함을 보여주었고 본 연구에서 구성된 이론적 방정식이 범용으로 적용될 수 있음을 보여 주었다. 본 연구의 실험조건에서 제어공간에 투입된 최대 에너지량은 $20\;kW/m^3$이며 이 범위 이하의 열량 투입조건에서 배연량 대비 에너지 투입양 간의 상사가 잘 이루어졌다. 연구 범위의 에너지 투입조건에서 열적영향에 의한 필요 배연량의 증가는 단순한 양론적 추정 배연량에 비해 20-30% 추가되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 자료를 바탕으로 고농도 비등온 조건에서 열부력 및 확산효과에 의해 이탈되는 제어대상 연무를 효율적으로 제어하기 위한 국소배기시스템의 설계 개선을 가져 올 수 있다.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is one of the popular surgical procedure for snoring and sleep apnea syndrome. The main principle of this procedure is to reduce abundant velopharyngeal soft tissues resulting in a shortened soft palate, which may cause some alterations in speech sound. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change of velopharyngeal function after UPPP in the view of aerodynamics. Thirty three patients who received uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for correcting snoring and sleep apnea were included in this study. The airflow, airflow rate and air pressure during the production of oral and nasal consonants were measured before surgery and 4 week and 8 week after surgery. The oral air flows and pressures for oral and nasal consonants were not changed after surgery. However, oral air pressure for nasal consonants were increased significantly after surgery. The nasal air flows for oral consonants were not changed after surgery, but for nasal consonants were decreased at 8 weeks after surgery. The nasal flow rate for oral and nasal consonants were increased at 8 weeks after surgery. The uvulopalatopharyngoplasty may result in affecting the aerodynamic air streams during speech production.

The yield is basic and necessary information in precision agriculture that reduces input resources and enhances productivity. Yield information is important because it can be used to set up farming plans and evaluate farming results. Yield monitoring systems are commercialized in the United States and Japan but not in Korea. Therefore, such a system must be developed. This study was conducted to develop a yield monitoring system that improved performance by correcting a previously developed flow sensor using a grain tank-weighing system. An impact-plated type flow sensor was installed in a grain tank where grains are placed, and grain tank-weighing sensors were installed under the grain tank to estimate the weight of the grain inside the tank. The grain flow rate and grain weight prediction models showed high correlations, with coefficient of determinations (R2) of 0.9979 and 0.9991, respectively. A main controller of the yield monitoring system that calculated the real-time yield using a sensor output value was also developed and installed in a combine harvester. Field tests of the combine harvester yield monitoring system were conducted in a rice paddy field. The developed yield monitoring system showed high accuracy with an error of 0.13%. Therefore, the newly developed yield monitoring system can be used to predict grain weight with high accuracy.

세기관지의 구조와 이상유무의 신속 정확한 측정을 위해 세계적으로 활발히 연구되고 있는 에어로졸볼러스기법을 확립하기 위하여, 호흡과정 중 흡기에 공급된 입자펄스가 호흡의 진행에 따라 인체기관지내에서 대류분산된 결과로 호기중 입자농도의 증가된 분포폭을 측정하는 장치를 개발하고 이를 이용한 검증실험을 수행하였다. 개발된 장치는 인체에 무해한 sebacic acid를 이용하여 평균입경이 1 $\mu$m이고 기하표준편차가 1.2정도인 임자를 $10^{9}$개/cc 정도의 고농도로 발생하고, 솔레노이드밸브를 이용하여 호흡중의 원하는 시점에 정확히 짧은 펄스형태로 입자를 공급하며, 레이저광산란을 이용하여 흡기와 호기중의 입자농도의 시간변화를 측정한다. 흡기중의 농도분포는 매우 매끈한 분포를 보임으로써 발생장치와 측정장치의 정강작동은 잘 검증되었다. 농도의 시간변화 측정치로부터 계산된 분산도를 1차원 대류확산방정식 이론치 및 외국에서 보고된 실험결과와 비교한 격과, 입자도달깊이에 따른 분산도의 변화에 대한 정성적인 실험결과는 이론치와 상당히 잘 일치하고 기존의 결과보다도 견과의 산포가 개선되었다. 다만 아직도 산포가 상당히 남아있어 개선의 여지를 가지고 있으며, 외국 결과와의 분산도의 타이는 신체조건의 타이 등으로 파악되었다. 산포도의 개선을 위해서는 호흡시에, 특히 최고농도점 부근에서, 호흡유량이 일정하게 유지되어야만 불규칙 이차파형의 형성을 방지하여 측정결과의 해석에 오차를 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Plastibell is one of the three most common devices used for neonatal circumcision in the United States, with a complication rate as low as 1.8%. The Plastibell circumcision device is commonly used under local anesthesia for religious circumcision in male neonates, because of cosmetic reasons and ease of use. Occasionally, instead of falling off, the device may get buried under the skin along the shaft of the penis, thereby obstructing the normal flow of urine. Furthermore, the foreskin of neonates is highly vascularized, and hence, hemorrhage and infection are possible when the skin is cut. Necrosis of penile skin, followed by urethral obstruction and renal failure, is a serious surgical mishap requiring immediate corrective surgery and medical attention. We report a case of fulminant urosepsis, acute renal failure, and pyelonephritis in a 4-day-old male neonate secondary to impaction of a Plastibell circumcision device. Immediate medical management was initiated with fluid resuscitation and mechanical ventilation; thereby correcting life threatening complications. Pediatricians and Emergency Department physicians should be cognizant of the complications from Plastibell circumcision device in order to institute appropriate and timely management in neonates.

Different from the main land of South Korea, Jeju Island has been in difficulties for measuring discharge. Due to high infiltration rate, most of streams in Jeju Island are usually in the dried state except six streams with the steady base flow, and the unique geological characteristics such as steep slope and short traveling distance of runoff have forced rainfall runoff usually to occur during very short period of time like one or two days. While discharge observations in Jeju Island have been conducted only for 16 sites with fixed electromagnetic surface velocimetry, effective analysis and validation of observed discharge data and operation of the monitoring sites still have been limited due to very few professions to maintain such jobs. This research is sponsored by Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs to build water cycle monitoring and management system of Jeju Island. Specifically, the research focuses on optimizing discharge measurement techniques adjusted for Jeju Island, expanding the monitoring sites, and validating the existing discharge data. First of all, we attempted to conduct discharge measurements in streams with steady base flow, by utilizing various recent discharge monitoring techniques, such as ADCP, LSPIV, Magnetic Velocimetry, and Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry. ADCP has been known to be the most accurate in terms of discharge measurement compared with other techniques, thus that the discharge measurement taken by ADCP could be used as a benchmark data for validation of others. However, there are still concerns of using ADCP in flood seasons; thereby LSPIV would be able to be applied for replacing ADCP in such flooded situation in the stream. In addition, sort of practical approaches such as Magnetic Velocimetry, and Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry would also be validated, which usually measure velocity in the designated parts of stream and assume the measured velocity to be representative for whole cross-section or profile at any specified location. The result of the comparison and analysis will be used for correcting existing discharge measurement by Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry and finding the most optimized discharge techniques in the future.
