Small area LDO (Low drop-out) regulator with pass transistor using body-driven technique is presented in this paper. The body-driven technique can decrease threshold voltage (Vth) and increase the current ID flowing from drain to source in current. The technique is applied to the pass transistor to reduce size of area and maintain the same performance as conventional LDO regulator. A pass transistor using the technique can reduce its size by 5.5 %. The proposed LDO regulator works under the input voltage of 2.7 V ~ 4.5 V and provides up to 150mA load current for an output voltage range of 1.2 V ~ 3.3 V.

In this research, the surface roughness affecting the pressure drop in a pipe used as the steam generator of a PWR was studied. Based on the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique using a commercial code named ANSYS-FLUENT, a straight pipe was modeled to obtain the Darcy frictional coefficient, changed with a range of various surface roughness ratios as well as Reynolds numbers. The result is validated by the comparison with a Moody chart to set the appropriate size of grids at the wall for the correct consideration of surface roughness. The pressure drop in a full-scale U-shaped pipe is measured with the same code, correlated with the surface roughness ratio. In the next stage, we studied a reduced scale model of a U-shaped heat pipe with experiment and analysis of the investigation into fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The material of the pipe was cut from the real heat pipe of a material named Inconel 690 alloy, now used in steam generators. The accelerations at the fixed stations on the outer surface of the pipe model are measured in the series of time history, and Fourier transformed to the frequency domain. The natural frequency of three leading modes were traced from the FFT data, and compared with the result of a numerical analysis for unsteady, incompressible flow. The corresponding mode shapes and maximum displacement are obtained numerically from the FSI simulation with the coupling of the commercial codes, ANSYS-FLUENT and TRANSIENT_STRUCTURAL. The primary frequencies for the model system consist of three parts: structural vibration, BPF(blade pass frequency) of pump, and fluid-structure interaction.

Particulate matter becomes an important issue in the environmental society recently so that it is necessary to evaluate that the commercial application of baghouse systems for effective control of fine particulates is viable. A laboratory-scale baghouse experimental apparatus with filter bags made of PTFE felt or PTFE felt coated with PTFE membrane is used to investigate the filtration performances of fine particulates. Experiments by changing filtration velocity, inlet dust concentration, and average dust particle size show that the dust collection efficiency becomes higher at lower filtration velocity, higher inlet dust concentration and larger average dust particle size. The total pressure drop through the filter media and dust layer becomes higher at higher filtration velocity and higher inlet dust concentration. The dust collection efficiency is higher and the pressure drop is lower at a baghouse with filter bags coated with PTFE membrane than that without membrane coating. From the result that the dust collection efficiency of $PM_{2.5}$ in a reasonable filtration velocity range during off-line pulsing at a baghouse with PTFE felt bag filters coated with PTFE membrane is as high as 99.99%, it is confirmed that the use of baghouse is an effective measure to control the fine particulates.

A new wall impaction model for diesel spray is described in this paper. The gas phase is modelled in terms of the Eulerian continuum conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy and fuel vapour fraction. The liquid phase is modelled following the discrete droplet model approach. The droplet parcel contains many thousands of drops assumed to have the same size, temperature and velocity components. The droplet parcel equations of trajectory, momentum, mass and energy are written in Lagrangian form. The new drop-wall interaction model is proposed, which is based on experimental investigations on individual drops, and it is applied for the general non-orthogonal grid. The model is then assessed through comparison with experiments over a wide range of test conditions of sprays. The results are in good agreement with experimental data.

Filter media performance was evaluated using monodisperse NaCl particles with Differential Mobility Analyzer and Ultrafine Condensation Particle Counter. Low or medium performance filters show that the most penetrating particles size(MPPS) is around $0.3{\mu}m$ in diameter and is shifted to smaller sizes as the filter face velocity increases. However, HEPA and ULPA filters show MPPS is around $0.15{\mu}m$ in diameter and is also shifted to $0.1{\mu}m$ in diameter as the face velocity increases. In case of electret filter, the MPPS is found around $0.04{\mu}m$ region for Boltzmann charge equilibrium particles. There is a tendency of strong collection efficiency decrease for large particles as the face velocity increases on the contrary to the other filters. One of the medium performance filter efficiency was compared with filtration theory and the good agreetment was found in the experimental range.

In order to Investigate the extraction mechanism of barley tea in cylindrical packed column, pilot plant scale packed column was designed and constructed. And extraction conditions for steady flow in the packed column were searched. The main results of this study are as follows ; 1. Circulation of the stock barley tea before the extraction running was indispensable In consideration of inequality, gas, particles existed in packed bed. Solid-liquid equilibrium was initially maintained after the circulation. 2. Flow direction of solvent must be up-flow for maintaining the constant bed height and flow rate during the extraction. Paessure drop in pucked bed was similar to decrease ratio of extract concentration. 3. The porosity of packed bed was in the range of 0.24∼0.36 according to the particle sloe. And it was decreased as the particle size became smaller.

Effect of process parameters on the quality of condenser discharge weld for coated sheet steels was discussed. The welding specimens were coated with pure Zn of 20/20 g/m2 in the production line. Direct measurements of welding parameters such as the discharge current, the pressures and the voltage drop across the electrodes were carried out with welding process monitoring system. High speed camera was also utilized to analyze the weld formation process. Test results indicated that the relation between weld strength and applied energy was stabilized at the acceptable welding heat input range. It was thought that the acceptable welding heat input should be redefined based on the monitored data because the calculated value of the welding heat input could hardly be utilized if the discharge condition was changed. Mechanical test results and high speed photographs showed that expulsion deteriorated the weld quality and the strength at the same time especially when the size of the spatter was large enough to carry the molten metal, which should form the nugget, out of the welding spot. Results also demonstrated that the discharge current should be applied at the appropriate time during the process because sufficient nugget was not produced if the time was deviated from the optimum range.

Source parameters for forty nine recent earthquakes occurred in and around Korean Peninsula are determined and the relations among them are studied. The corner frequency and seismic moment are estimated from three different methods. The spectral fitting of the source displacement spectrum with the $\omega$-square source model of Brune(1970) and Snoke(1987)'s method are applied to all events and empirical Green's function method for two events are adopted. The source parameters determined in this study show different values depending on the adopted method and on the stations of which seismograms are recorded. It is interpreted that the disagreements principally originate from insufficient consideration of source radiation pattern and attenuation and amplification according to path direction. The corner frequencies and seismic moments are averaged to exclude the directional effects and other source parameters are estimated from the mean corner frequency and seismic moment. The static stress drops estimated in this study tend to be independent of seismic moment or magnitude for events above a certain size. For earthquakes with the size less than about 3.0$\times$10$^{21}$dyne-cm(nearly same as M$_{L}$=3.7), the stress drop tends to decrease with the decreasing moment. This fact suggests a breakdown of scaling law of source parameters below the threshold magnitude. The moment magnitudes calculated from source parameters appear to be slightly larger than the Richter's local magnitudes in the range above M$_{L}$=3.5.3.5.

In this study, a electrostatic filter which could be applicable to road environment was developed and evaluated in adsorption capacity. The evaluation were performance for removal by particle size and adsorption amount by pressure using ASERAE 52.1 and 52.2. The range of size for removal test was $0.3{\mu}m{\sim}10.0{\mu}m$ which had 12 steps. The filter showed 91.3% removal efficiency from $2.5{\mu}m$ and under the size, average 53.5% proportional to decreasing size value. The weight removal was 96.7% from 22.6 mmaq, initial pressure to 35 mmaq, end pressure with $715.9g/m^2$, the adsorption amount. The shape of isotherm was expressed as Langmuir's one. After washing saturated filter with dust to end pressure, the initial pressure and adsorption amount of the filter showed a light drop with no removal efficiency decline.
