This experimental design and response surface methodology (RSM) have been applied to the investigation of the electrocoagulation/flotation of dye wastewater. The electrocoagulation/flotation reactions were mathematically described as a function of parameters current (A), NaCl concentration (B), initial RhB concentration (C) and time (D) being modeled by use of the central composite design (CCD). The application of RSM using the CCD yielded the following regression equation, which is an empirical relationship between the RhB removal (%) and test variables in RhB removal (%) = $-300.42+129.21{\cdot}Current+46.99{\cdot}NaCl-0.11{\cdot}RhB-+43.71{\cdot}Time-5.67{\cdot}Current{\cdot}NaCl-3.18{\cdot}Current{\cdot}Time-2.41{\cdot}NaCl{\cdot}Time-19.79{\cdot}Current^2-2.27{\cdot}NaCl^2-1.59{\cdot}Time^2$. the model predictions agreed well with the experimentally observed result ($R^{2}=0.9728$). The estimated ridge of maximum response and optimal conditions for RhB removal (%) using canonical analysis was 99.4% (A: 1,77 A, NaCl concentration: 2.23 g/L, RhB concentration: 56.12 mg/L, Time: 9.98 min). To confirm this optimum condition, three additional experiments were performed and RhB removal (%) were within range of 86.87% (95% PI low)~111.93% (95% PI high) obtained.

진공가압함침공정(Vacuum Pressure Impregnation, VPI)은 발전기, 전동기 등 대형 회전기에 사용되는 고정자 권선에 에폭시 계열의 레진을 코팅시켜 물성을 강화하는 공정이다. VPI 공정 중 진공과 가압과정에서 에폭시 레진의 기화에 의해 레진 가스가 발생하고, 함침공정이 끝나고 경화를 위해 탱크 개방 시 레진 가스가 제거되지 않고 탱크 밖으로 유출된다. 유출된 레진 가스가 작업장 전체에 확산 시 화재, 폭발 및 호흡기 문제와 같은 안전 환경 문제가 있으므로 공정 내 레진 가스 배출시스템이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 VPI 공정에서 발생한 레진 가스를 배출하는 시스템을 설계하기 위해 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD)을 이용하여 공기 유입구·배출구의 위치에 따른 배출효율에 대한 사례연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구의 최적의 배출시스템을 활용 시 1,800초 이내 90%이상의 레진 가스를 배출할 수 있으며, 레진 가스의 폭발하한계(Low Explosive Limit, LEL)이하로 레진 가스의 분율을 낮출 수 있었다.

Lab-on-a-disc is a circular disc shape of cartridge that can be used for blood-based liquid biopsy to diagnose an early stage of cancer. Currently, liquid biopsies are regarded as a time-consuming process, and require sophisticated skills to precisely separate cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) floating in the bloodstream for accurate diagnosis. However, by applying the lab-on-a-disc to liquid biopsy, the entire process can be operated automatically. To do so, the lab-on-a-disc should be designed to prevent blood leakage during the centrifugation, transport, and dilution of blood inside the lab-on-a-disc in the process of liquid biopsy. In this study, the main components of lab-on-a-disc for liquid biopsy are fabricated by injection molding for mass production, and ultrasonic welding is employed to ensure the bonding strength between the components. To guarantee accurate ultrasonic welding, the flatness of the components is optimized numerically by using the response surface methodology with four main injection molding processing parameters, including the mold & resin temperatures, the injection speed, and the packing pressure. The 27 times finite element analyses using Moldflow® reveal that the injection time and the packing pressure are the critical factors affecting the flatness of the components with an optimal set of values for all four processing parameters. To further improve the flatness of the lab-on-a-disc components for stable mass production, a quarter-disc shape of lab-on-a-disc with a radius of 75 mm is used instead of a full circular shape of the disc, and this significantly decreases the standard deviation of flatness to 30% due to the reduced overall length of the injection molded components by one-half. Moreover, it is also beneficial to use a quarter disc shape to manage the deviation of flatness under 3 sigma limits.

The common-rail injectors are the most critical component of the CRDI diesel engines that dominantly affect engine performances through high pressure injection with exact control. Thus, from now on the advanced combustion technologies for common-rail diesel injection engine require high performance fuel injectors. Accordingly, the previous studies on the numerical and experimental analysis of the diesel injector have focused on a optimum geometry to induce proper injection rate. In this study, computational predictions of performance of the diesel injector have been performed to evaluate internal flow characteristics for various needle lift and the spray pattern at the nozzle exit. To our knowledge, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the internal flow passage of an entire injector duct including injection and return routes has never been studied. In this study, major design parameters concerning internal routes in the injector are optimized by using a CFD analysis and Response Surface Method (RSM). The computational prediction of the internal flow characteristics of the common-rail diesel injector was carried out by using STAR-CCM+7.06 code. In this work, computations were carried out under the assumption that the internal flow passage is a steady-state condition at the maximum needle lift. The design parameters are optimized by using the L16 orthogonal array and polynomial regression, local-approximation characteristics of RSM. Meanwhile, the optimum values are confirmed to be valid in 95% confidence and 5% significance level through analysis of variance (ANOVA). In addition, optimal design and prototype design were confirmed by calculating the injection quantities, resulting in the improvement of the injection performance by more than 54%.

Self-piercing rivet(SPR)은 이종재료 접합을 위해 사용되는 결합용 기계요소로써, 대표적으로는 알루미늄 합금과 강판 등 용융점이 서로 다른 재료의 접합에 사용된다. SPR 접합은 일반 리벳접합과 달리 스스로 홀을 가공하며 삽입되기 때문에 사전의 홀 가공이 필요 없다.(1) 상부판재를 천공하고 하부판재와 함께 소성 변형되어 결합된다. 자동차의 차체 경량화를 위해서는 알루미늄 합금과 같은 경량소재가 사용되며, 부분적으로 스틸과 알루미늄 합금의 이종재료 접합이 요구된다. 그러나 알루미늄 합금과 강판은 용융점이 다르므로 기존의 차체 결합방법으로 이용되고 있는 저항 용접이 불가능하다. 이에 따라, 기계적 결합방법의 하나인 SPR 접합이 요구된다.(2) 따라서 본 연구에서는 강소성 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 리벳과 판재의 접합 성형성을 검토하고, 고장력 강판을 접합할 수 있는 새로운 형상의 SPR을 설계하였다. 또한 해석결과와 실험의 비교를 통하여 해석의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents and compares three feedback control strategies for active control of noise inside a 3-D vibro-acoustic cavity. These are a) control strategy based on direct output feedback (DOFB) b) control strategy based on linear quadratic regulator (LQR) to reduce structural vibrations and c) LQR control strategy with a weighting scheme based on structural-acoustic coupling coefficients. The first two strategies are indirect control strategies in which noise reduction is achieved through active vibration control (AVC), termed as AVC-DOFB and AVC-LQR respectively. The third direct strategy is based on active structural-acoustic control (ASAC). This strategy is an LQR based optimal control strategy in which the coupling between the various structural and the acoustic modes is used to design the controller. The strategy is termed as ASAC-LQR. A numerical model of a 3-D rectangular box cavity with a flexible plate (glued with piezoelectric patches) and with other five surfaces treated rigid is developed using finite element (FE) method. A single pair of collocated piezoelectric patches is used for sensing the vibrations and applying control forces on the structure. A comparison of frequency response function (FRF) of structural nodal acceleration, acoustic nodal pressure, and piezoelectric actuation voltage is carried out. It is found that the AVC-DOFB control strategy gives equal importance to all the modes. The AVC-LQR control strategy tries to consume the control effort to damp all the structural modes. It is seen that the ASAC-LQR control strategy utilizes the control effort more intelligently by adding higher damping to those structural modes that matter more for reducing the interior noise.

Currently, polyurethane (PU) foam is used in most refrigerators as a thermal insulator, whereby the material contributes to structural stiffness by joining the refrigerator cases; however, refrigerator PU foam induces a low thermal efficiency and results in environmental contamination. To resolve these issues, we applied the vacuum insulated panel (VIP) instead of PU form in the design of a new refrigerator type, whereby the VIP significantly contributes to the rectification of the previously mentioned issues. The VIP structure, however, cannot effectively hold refrigerator cases, so the present study investigated a new frame-structure concept by evaluating the stiffness using the topology optimization of refrigerator cases. Lastly, a refrigerator prototype comprising an optimal frame structure was built and subject to a stiffness test, and a comparison of the test results with those of a conventional refrigerator show that the structural stiffness of the prototype is sufficiently effective.

본 논문에서는 강자성 선체에 존재하는 영구자화 분포에 기인한 자기장 신호를 예측하고자 연속체역학에 기반을 둔 매질민감도법과 등가 자기 모델을 결합한 역문제 해석 기법을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 3차원 자기전하 모델과 2차원의 등가 자기쌍극자 모델을 구축하였고 각각의 등가모델에 맞는 매질민감도 공식을 유도하였다. 매질민감도법은 자기전하나 자기쌍극자 변화에 대한 목적함수의 1차 미분정보를 제공하고 설계변수의 개수에 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 최적해를 빠른 시간에 도출할 수 있다. 제안된 해석 기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해서 실험을 통해 측정된 자기장 신호와 각각 등가모델에 의한 역문제 해석을 통해 얻어진 예측치를 비교하였다.

The high temperature superconducting (HTS) contra-rotating propulsion (CRP) systems comprise two coaxial propellers sited on behind the other and rotate in opposite directions. They have the hydrodynamic advantage of recovering the slipstream rotational energy which would otherwise be lost to a conventional single-screw system. However, the cooling systems used for HTS CRP system need a high cooling power enough to maintain a low temperature of 2G HTS material operating at liquid neon (LNe) temperature (24.5 - 27 K). In this paper, a single thermo-syphon cooling approach using a Gifford-McMahon (G-M) cryo-cooler is presented. First, an optimal thermal design of a 1.5 MW HTS motor was conducted varying to different types of commercial 2G HTS tapes. Then, a mono-cryogenic cooling system for an integration of two 1.5 MW HTS motors will be designed and analyzed. Finally, the 3D finite element analysis (FEA) simulation of thermal characteristics was also performed.
