The aerodynamic performance of a cross-flow fan is strongly influenced by the various design factors of a rear-guider and a stabilizer. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of a rear-guider and a stabilizer on the aerodynamic performance of a cross-flow fan. The design factors considered in this paper are a rear-guider clearance, a stabilizer clearance, and a stabilizer setup angle, respectively. This experiment was carried out with a constant revolution number of 700 rpm in a cross-flow fan installed in the fan tester. The static pressure, flowrate, torque, and revolution number were measured in this paper. Also, the pressure coefficient and the efficiency were analysed according to the various assembly conditions using a stabilizer setup angle, a stabilizer clearance, and a rear-guider clearance in the indoor room air-conditioner.

In this paper, we formulate the DEA model with interval efficiency, there exist two phases of efficiency evaluation with respect to the upper limit and the lower limit. From these viewpoints, we can define two extreme points of efficiency. As a result, an interval efficiency for each DMU cam be obtained. We also formulate the interval cross-efficiency.

This paper analyzes the technical efficiency of thirty two hospitals in Korea using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis). DEA provides an efficiency measure for each hospital compared to the most efficient one. The amount and sources of inefficiency that are identified by the DEA are useful for benchmarking to improve efficiency. The results from multiple regression analysis and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test show that bed turnover, hospital size, and average length of stay are related to hospital efficiency.

The cross-flow turbine is a key hydraulic power system that is widely due to low costs, high efficiency, and low maintenance. In particular, the cross-flow turbine considered as the most suitable turbine for low head situations as it is known to operate down to 5 m of water head. However, the conventional cross-flow turbine is unsuitable for ultra-low head situations with less than a 3 m water head. In this study, we propose an inverted-type cross-flow turbine to overcome the limitations of conventional cross-flow turbines under ultra-low head situations. First, we described the limitations of conventional turbines and suggested a new turbine for the ultra-low head circumstances. Second, we investigated the performance of the new turbine using CFD analysis. Results demonstrated the effects of the design parameters, such as number of blades and rotor diameter ratio, on the performance of the suggested turbine. As a result, we developed an inverted-type cross-flow turbine with up to 60% efficiency under low water head conditions.

The cross-flow turbine is one of the most famous and widely used hydraulic power systems for a long time. The cross-flow turbine is especially popular in many countries and remote regions where off-grided because of its many benefits such as low cost, high efficiency at low head, simple structure, and easy maintenance. However, most modern turbines, including the cross-flow turbine, are unsuitable for the ultra-low head situation, known as less than 3m water head or zero head with over 0.5m/s flow velocity. In this study, we demonstrated a 20kW class inverted-type cross-flow turbine's performance. First, we reevaluated our previous studies and introduced how to design the inverted-type cross-flow turbine. Secondly, we fabricated the 20kW class inverted-type cross-flow turbine for the performance test. And then, we designed a testbed and installed the turbine system in the demonstration facility. In the end, we compare the demonstration with its previous CFD results. The comparing result shows that both CFD and real model fitted on guide vane angle at 10 degrees. At the demonstration, we achieved 42% turbine efficiency at runner speed 125 RPM.

The study on the efficiency analysis of Korean automobile parts companies is mostly based on the calculation of the size of output such as sales. However, the performance indicators such as sales, operating profit, and net profit are directly related to the cost structure, and this cost structure is affected by changes in the company's asset structure and capital structure. As a result, it is necessary that efficient capital procurement should be done at the same time to create efficient management performance through proper investment. In this study, we aim to measure the efficiency of asset and capital procurement compared to the sales figures, such as sales, generated by 33 primary suppliers who supply parts to Hyundai Kia Motors. For this purpose, this study proposed a DEA cross analysis model that can simultaneously measure efficiency in terms of input assets and capital procurement based on the same management performance when analyzing the efficiency of domestic auto parts companies.

The mechanical integrity of generator stator windings is one of the critical point because the electric power is generated and conducted to power system through these windings. To cool down the heat emitted from generator winding during its operation, a majority of generators use de-mineralized water characterized by high cooling efficiency. Contrary to such the excellent cooling efficiency, however, the damaged bar insulations attributed to the absorption of cooling water in the generator stator winding lead to highly time- and cost consuming efforts as well as to service deterioration due to unexpected forced outage of generator. It is described that the new design of water absorption sensor using cross capacitance for generator in power plant in order to increase the reliability of water absorption diagnostics for generator stator bar insulation.

DEA 모델중 널리 사용되는 교차평가모델(cross efficiency model)은 가중치에 제한을 두지 않고 어떤 특정분야에 탁월한 성과를 내는 DMU(Decision Making Unit)보다는 보다 전반적인 분야에서 두각을 나타내는 DMU를 선발함으로써 많은 연구자들이 DEA문헌에서 적용하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 교차평가모델이 실제에 있어서는 암묵적으로 고정 가중치를 사용한다는 것과 동일한 결과를 나타낸다는 것을 분석적으로 밝혔다(one input, multi output case). 또한 multi-input, multi-output case의 경우에도 overall performer의 cluster에 근접한 대다수 DMU의 경우에는 고정 가중치를 사용한 경우와 거의 차이가 없음을 보였다. 교차평가 모델에 적용된 변수의 가중치를 보다 명확히 함으로써 연구자들이 모델의 평가결과를 이해하는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 교차 평가의 가중치 도식을 더 명확히 보여주기 위해 biplot을 제안한다.
