Numerical analysis information of a complex discharge-passage will be very useful to improve hydrogen compression system. General information about an internal gas flow is presented by numerical analysis approach. Relating with hydrogen compressing system, which have an important role in hydrogen energy utilization, this should be a useful tool to observe the flow quickly and clearly. Flow characteristic analysis, including pressure and turbulence kinetic energy distribution of hydrogen gas from cylinder going to the chamber of a reciprocating compressor are presented in this paper. Discharge-passage model is designed based on real model of hydrogen compressor. Pressure boundary conditions are applied considering the real condition of operating system. The result shows pressure and turbulence kinetic energy are not distributed uniformly along the passage of the hydrogen compressing system. Path line or particles tracks help to demonstrate flow characteristics inside the passage. The existence of vortices and flow direction can be precisely predicted. Based on this result, the design improvement should be done. Consequently, development of the better hydrogen compressing system will be achieved.

The Electric discharge machining (EDM) process is used to minimize the difference between designed feature and machined feature while the most workpiece is removed through the cutting processes. The tiny-deep hole machining and perpendicular wall machining in mold and die are good applications of EDM. Among EDM equipment, the super drill uses the hollowed electrode to eliminate the debris which causes the second discharge with the electrode and degrades the machining quality. Through the hollow, the high pressured discharge oil is supplied to remove the debris together with the spindle rotation. The thin-hollow electrode tends to easily wear out compared to the sold die-sinking electrode and its wear rate is might not allowed to monitor in real time during discharging. Up to now, the wear amount is measured by off line method, which leads machining time to increase because the hole pass-through moment can be check by visual (manually) with the extra tool path. Therefore, this study suggests the attractive method to evaluate the hole pass-through moment in which the gap voltage and z-axis encoder pulse are monitored to predict the moment. The commercial super drill is used to validate the proposed method and the experiment is carried out.

A set of novel silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) devices' characteristics have been analyzed and verified under the electrostatic discharge (ESD) stress. A ring-shaped diffusion was added to their anode or cathode in order to improve the holding voltage (Vh) of SCR structure by creating new current discharging path and decreasing the emitter injection efficiency (${\gamma}$) of parasitic Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT). ESD current density distribution imitated by 2-dimensional (2D) TCAD simulation demonstrated that an additional current path exists in the proposed SCR. All the related devices were investigated and characterized based on transmission line pulse (TLP) test system in a standard $0.5-{\mu}m$ 24 V CDMOS process. The proposed SCR devices with ring-shaped anode (RASCR) and ring-shaped cathode (RCSCR) own higher Vh than that of Simple SCR (S_SCR). Especially, the Vh of RCSCR has been raised above 33 V. What's more, their holding current is kept over 800 mA, which makes it possible to design power clamp with SCR structure for on chip ESD protection and keep the protected chip away from latch-up risk.

The pressure distributions in the test stand built for developing KSTAR NBI ion sources were obtained using a network system composed of conductance elements modeling the ion source, the neutralizer, and other beam line components. The allowable regime was defined on the coordinates of the gas supply rate to the ion source and the neutralizer, considering the proper conditions of the three critical parameters, the ion source pressure for good arc discharge, the pressure integral in the neutralizer for sufficient neutralization, and the chamber pressure for minimum neutral beam loss. The neutral beam evolution along the path from the ion source extraction grid to the calorimeter through the neutralizer, the bending magnet and the vacuum chamber was estimated for typical pressure distributions.

The significant sedimentation at the estuary in the eastern coast of Korea frequently causes river mouth occlusion where disconnection between the river and sea is observed. River mouth occlusion causing watershed retention raises the environmental risk of the area as it impairs water quality and threatens the area's safety in the event of floods. This study proposes a plan to maintain stability of river channel and flow of flood discharge at the estuary with loss of its function for disaster prevention. To this end, the study tries to change the location and width of stream path, focusing on the center line of stream near the sand bar of river mouth. This allows to identify a shape of stream path that leads the most stable flow. To review the result, this study uses the SRH-2D, a model for two-dimensional hydraulic analysis, and conduct numeric simulation. The simulation result showed that the most effective plan for maintaining the stable flow of running water without having the area sensitive to changes in hydraulic characteristics is to lower the overall river bed height of the sand bar near the center line of stream to a equal level.

Water line은 UV 처리된 호스의 내부에 압력보상 기능이 첨부된 경질의 미로 튜브를 끼워 사용하도록 제작되어 있다. 점적 호스의 외경은 15.8mm이며 대부분 0.5~2.5bar 사이의 압력에 1.5~3.0 L/hr의 유량을 공급한다. 따라서 전적 호스의 내부에 위치한 경질 미로 튜브의 설계는 유량의 압력보상에 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 경질 미로 튜브를 통과하는 작은 돌기의 수가 압력과 유량에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대한 기초적인 실험을 수행하였으며 경질 미로의 압력과 유량 특성에 따른 이론적 해석과의 비교분석을 통하여 새로운 미로의 형상 설계에 활용할 기초적 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 점적 호스의 성능은 길이(보통 300~400m)에 대한 유량의 균등성을 유지하는 것이며 균등성은 압력보상에 의해 이루어진다. 원통형 미로는 점적 호스의 내부에 삽입되어 원통 부분에 형성된 미로의 길이에 따른 유량의 균등성을 유지하도록 설계되어 있다. 점적 호스의 원통 주변에는 8개의 미로로 구성되어 있으며 미로의 길이를 금속 평면으로 금형 제작하여 투명판에서 미로의 형상을 보이게 하였다. 또한 입구부분에 물을 공급하고 미로의 각 위치별 배출구를 설치하여 압력에 따른 유출량을 전자저울에 측정하여 압력별 유량의 균등성에 대한 데이터를 측정하였다. 유입구의 압력을 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.0bar로 각각 공급하였으며 유출량은 미로의 8개 구간에 따라 측정하였다. 경질 미로의 유출량은 미로의 길이가 짧을수록, 압력이 커질수록 유출량이 높게 나타났다. 또한 미로의 길이가 짧을 경우에는 유출량의 차이가 비교적 크게 나타났으나 미로의 길이가 길수록 압력에 대한 유출량에 대한 차이가 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 경질 미로에서 미로의 길이를 길게 할 경우에는 유출량을 비교적 균일하게 할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 반면에 미로의 길이가 길어질수록 압력변화에 따른 유출량이 지수적으로 감소함을 나타내고 있다. 미로의 길이가 7번과 8번에서는 상당히 균일한 성능을 보여주므로 경질 미로의 배출구를 전체적으로 모두 활용함으로써 압력보상을 비교적 균일하게 할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 압력보상은 탄성을 가진 실리콘과 미로로 구성될 경우에 가장 큰 효과를 나타내지만 점적 호스와 같이 경질 미로만으로 압력보상을 해야 할 경우에는 경질 미로의 길이가 매우 중요하다.

In general, the circulation path of the fluidized particles in a CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler is such that the particles entrained from a combustor are collected by a cyclone and recirculated to the combustor via a sealpot which is one of non-mechanical valves. However, when a fluidized bed heat exchanger (FBHE) is installed to additionally absorb heat from the fluidized particles, some particles in the sealpot pass through the FBHE and then flow into the combustor. At this time, in the FBHE operated in the bubbling fluidization regime, if the heat flow is not evenly distributed by poor mixing of the hot particles (800~950 ℃) flowing in from the sealpot, the heat exchanger tubes would be locally heated and then damaged, and the agglomeration of particles could also occur by formation of hot spot. This may affect the stable operation of the circulating fluidized bed. In this study, the unevenness of heat flow arising from structural problems of the FBHE of the domestic D-CFB boiler was found through the operating data analysis and the CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) simulation using Barracuda VR. Actually, the temperature of the heat exchanger tubes in the FBHE showed the closest correlation with the change in particle temperature of the sealpot. It was also found that the non-uniformity of the heat flow was caused by channeling of hot particles flowing in from the sealpot. However, it was difficult to eliminate the non-uniformity even though the fluidizing velocity of the FBHE was increased enough to fluidize hot particles vigorously. When the premixing zone for hot particles flowing in from the sealpot is installed and when the structure is changed through the symmetrization of the FBHE discharge line for particles reflowing into the combustor, the particle mixing and the uniformity of heat flow were found to be increased considerably. Therefore, it could be suggested that the structural modification of the FBHE, related to premixing and symmetric flow of hot particles, is an alternative to reduce the non-uniformity of the heat flow and to minimize the poor particle mixing.
