To optimize the combustion system in a HSDI diesel engine, a new analysis technology was developed. The in-cylinder 3-D combustion analysis was carried out by the modified KIVA-3V, and the spray characteristics for the high pressure injection system were analyzed by HYDSIM. The combustion design parameters were optimized by coupling the KIVA-3V and the iSIGHT. The optimization procedure consists of 3 steps. The $1^{st}$ step is the sampling method by the Design of Experiment(DOE), the $2^{nd}$ step is the approximation using the Neural Network method, and the $3^{rd}$ step is the optimization using the Genetic Algorithm. The developed procedures have been approved as very effective and reliable, and the computational results agree well with the experimental data. The analysis results show that the optimized combustion system in a HSDI diesel engine is capable of reducing NOx and Soot emissions simultaneously keeping a same level of the fuel consumption(BSFC).

The effects of triple (pilot, main and after) injection on combustion and emission characteristics in a HSDI (High-Speed Direct Injection) diesel engine were investigated using a single-cylinder optical diesel engine equipped with a common-rail injection system. The pilot injection affected the spray and combustion evolution of the following main injection. It was found that the pilot injection reduced the ignition delay, which led to lowered NOx (Nitric Oxides) level, and increased IMEP (Indicated Mean Effective Pressure) due to slow combustion pace during an expansion stroke. The after-injection was shown to be effective in reducing PM (Particulate Matter) even when a small amount of fuel was added. The results suggest that a proper combination of individual injection strategy could bring about a good synergetic effect on engine performance and emission.

Lean combustion was applied to improve the thermal efficiency and emission in a single-cylinder, spark-ignition engine fueled with syngas. Under naturally aspirated conditions, the lean combustion significantly improved the thermal efficiency compared to the stoichiometric combustion, mainly due to the reduction in heat transfer loss. Intake air boost was applied to compensate the low power output of the lean combustion. The gross indicated power of 24.8 kW was achieved by increasing the intake pressure up to 1.6 bar at excess air ratio of 2.2. The nitrogen oxides showed near zero level, but the carbon monoxide emission was significant.

In this study, experimental design methods were used to derive optimal process conditions for improving the thickness uniformity of a 0.40 mm, 3.5 inch light guide panel. Process mapping and expert group analysis were used to identify factors that influence the thickness of injection molded products. The key factors identified were mold temperature, mold temperature, injection speed, packing pressure, packing time, clamp force, and flash time. Considering the resin manufacturer's recommended process conditions and the process conditions for similar light guide plates, a three-level range was selected for the identified influencing factors. L27 orthogonal array process conditions were generated using the Taguchi method. Injection molding was performed using these L27 orthogonal array to mold the 3.5 inch light guide plates. Thickness measurements were then taken, and the results were analyzed using the signal-to-noise ratio to maximize the CpK value, leading to the determination of the optimal process conditions. The thickness uniformity of the product was analyzed by applying the derived optimum process conditions. The results showed a 97.5% improvement in the Cpk value of 3.22 compared to the process conditions used for similar light guide plates.

This paper experimentally investigates the effects of oxygen-enriched air (OEA) on the running behaviors of an LPG SI engine during both start/warm-up (SW) and hot idling (HI) stages. The experiments were performed on an air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, LPG SI engine with an electronic fuel injection system and an electrically-heated oxygen sensor. OEA containing 23% and 25% oxygen (by volume) was supplied for the experiments. The throttle position was fixed at that of idle condition. A fueling strategy was used as following: the fuel injection pulse width (FIPW) in the first cycle of injection was set 5.05 ms, and 2.6 ms in the subsequent cycles till the achieving of closed-loop control. In closed-loop mode, the FIPW was adjusted by the ECU in terms of the oxygen sensor feedback. Instantaneous engine speed, cylinder pressure, engine-out time-resolved HC, CO and NOx emissions and excess air coefficient (EAC) were measured and compared to the intake air baseline (ambient air, 21% oxygen). The results show that during SW stage, with the increase in the oxygen concentration in the intake air, the EAC of the mixture is much closer to the stoichiometric one and more oxygen is made available for oxidation, which results in evidently-improved combustion. The ignition in the first firing cycle starts earlier and peak pressure and maximum heat release rate both notably increase. The maximum engine speed is elevated and HC and CO emissions are reduced considerably. The percent reductions in HC emissions are about 48% and 68% in CO emissions about 52% and 78%; with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. During HI stage, with OEA, the fuel amount per cycle increases due to closed-loop control, the engine speed rises, and speed stability is improved. The HC emissions notably decrease: about 60% and 80% with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. The CO emissions remain at the same low level as with ambient air. During both SW and HI stages, intake air oxygen enrichment causes the delay of spark timing and the increased NOx emissions.

Compression ignition of homogeneous charges in IC engines indicates possibilities of achieving the high efficiency of DI diesel engines with low level of NOx and particulate emissions. The objectives of this study are to further understand the characteristics of the HCCI(Homogeneous charge compression ignition) combustion and to find ways of extending the rich HCCI operation limit in an engine-like environment. DME fuel is supplied either in the form of premixture with air or directly injected in the combustion chamber of a rapid compression and expansion machine under the conditions of various equivalence ratio and injection timing. The cylinder pressure is measured and the rate of heat release is computed from the measured pressure for the analysis of the combustion characteristics. The experimental data show that the RCEM can operate without knock on mixtures of higher equivalence ratio, when DME is directly injected in the combustion chamber than introduced as a fraction of a perfect or nearly perfect premixture. Very early fuel injection timings usually employed in HCCI operation are seen to have only insignificant effects in control of ignition timing.

Purpose : The fascia is the body's largest sensory organ affected by mechanical stimuli such as pressure. Fascial distortion model (FDM) is one of the fascia treatment techniques, and it is based that most musculoskeletal problems are caused by three-dimensional distortion of the fascia. Until now, some studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of FDM, but it is still not enough. In this study, among the six techniques of FDM, trigger band (TB) and cylinder distortion (CyD) were applied to the forearm to investigate the immediate effect on the maximal grip strength, force sense and range of motion. Methods : 22 healthy adults in their 20s and 30s participated. Before and after the application of FDM, maximal grip strength, force sense and range of motion were measured. For analysis, a paired t-test was performed, and the significance level was set to p<.05. Results : After FDM, there were a significant differences that increased the force sense and the range of motion (p<.05). But the maximal grip strength did not show a significant difference (p>.05). Conclusion : The results of this study, the FDM did not affect maximal grip strength, but it was shown to increase the sense of force and range of motion. We assumed that it is the result of the changes in the states of the fascia and changes in the activity of mechanical receptors induced by pressure and stretch from FDM application.

Background: Reactor pressure vessel (RV) with internals (RVI) are activated structures by neutron irradiation and volume contaminated wastes. Thus, to develop safe and optimized disposal plan for them at a disposal site, it is important to perform exact activation calculation and evaluate the dose rate on the surface of casks which contain cut-off pieces. Materials and Methods: RV and RVI are subjected to neutron activation calculation via Monte Carlo methodology with MCNP6 and ORIGEN-S program-neutron flux, isotopic specific activity, and gamma spectrum calculation on each component of RV and RVI, and dose rate evaluation with MCNP6. Results and Discussion: Through neutron activation analysis, dose rate is evaluated for the casks containing cut-off pieces produced from decommissioned RV and RVI. For RV cut-off ones, the highest value of dose rate on the surface of cask is 6.97 × 10-1 mSv/hr and 2 m from it is 3.03 × 10-2 mSv/hr. For RVI cut-off ones, on the surface of it is 0.166 × 10-1 mSv/hr and 2 m from it is 1.04 × 10-1 mSv/hr. Dose rates for various RV and RVI cut-off pieces distributed lower than the limit except the one of 2 m from the cask surface of RVI. It needs to adjust contents in cask which carries highly radioactive components in order to decrease thickness of cask. Conclusion: Two types of casks are considered in this paper: box type for very-low-level waste (VLLW) as well as low-level waste (LLW) and cylinder type for intermediate-level waste (ILW). The results will contribute to the development of optimal loading plans for RV and RVI cut-off pieces during the decommissioning of nuclear power plant that can be used to prepare radioactive waste disposal plans for the different types of wastes-ILW, LLW, and VLLW.

연직하중(鉛直荷重), 구속압(拘束壓) 및 torque를 각각 독립적으로 작용시킬 수 있는 비틀림전단시험(剪斷試驗)을 실시하여 주응력축(主應力軸)을 회전(回轉)시켰을 경우, 변형율증분방향(變形率增分方向)과 응력방향(應力方向) 혹은 응력증분방향(應力增分方向) 사이의 관계가 조사되었다. 이 비틀림전단시험(剪斷試驗)은 $K_0$-압밀점토시료(壓密粘土試料)에 대하여 비배수(非排水) 및 배수(排水) 상태하에서 주응력축회전(主應力軸回轉)이 가능한 전 응력경로(應力徑路)로 실시되었다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)결과 파괴시의 변형율증분(變形率增分)벡터의 방향은 응력(應力)벡터방향과 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 즉 변형율증분(變形率增分)벡터방향은 초기의 낮은 응력단계(應力段階)에서는 응력증분(應力增分)벡터 방향과 일치하지만 높은 응력단계(應力段階)에서는 응력(應力)벡터방향과 일치하게 된다. 이는 점토(粘土)의 거동(擧動)이 응력의 증가에 따라 탄성(彈性)에서 소성(塑性)으로 변천되어 감을 의미한다. 따라서 주응력축회전(主應力軸回轉)시의 점토거동(粘土擧動)의 구성식화(構成式化)에는 탄소성이론(彈塑性理論)의 적용이 가능함이 입증되었다.

1975년 6월 7일에서 동년 8월 11일까지 풍양호(4,500H. P), 척양호(3,800H. P.), 동방호(3,000 H. P.), 오대산호(2,600 H. P.), 백경호(850 H. P.), 관악산호(1,000 H..P.) 계 6척의 기관실 소음을 주기관의 회전수에 따라 소음압이 변하는 것과 기관실 체격과 총 마력수에 따른 상관관계등을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 각 선박의 총 마력수에 따라 기관실 체적이 비례로 커져가고 있으나 소음관계는 같은 종류의 기관(6기통)을 사용하고 있으므로 소음압이 낮아져 가는 경향을 보이는데 관악산초, 척양호, 동방호는 표준 곡선에 비해 소음압이 3dB정도 높은 경향을 보였고 백경호, 풍양호는 4dB 정도 낮은 경향을 보였다. 2. 각 주기관의 최대 회전수(r.p.m.)가 되기 전의 회전수에서 이미 최대의 소음압을 나타내고 있는데 그 회전수의 백분율은 선박에 따라 약간의 차이는 있으나 $67{\~}75{\%}$인 범위에서 최대소음이 되고 있다. 3. 각 기관실의 최대소음압은 $93.5{\~}105dB$의 범위 였고, stern trawl 선박구조를 가진 어획물 처리장은 81 dB 였는데 풍양호만은 72 dB로서 선원 상호간의 대화는 가능하였다. 4. 관악산호를 제외하고는 각 선박식당의 소음압은 $68{\~}75dB$, 싸롱은 $67{\~}72dB$ 선원실은$67{\~}75dB$ 학생실은$67{\~}72dB$였고 갑판의 소음압은 동방호를 제외하고는 $67{\~}72dB$의 범위였다.
