Gas foil thrust bearings (GFTBs) support axial loads in oil-free, high speed rotating machinery using air or gas as a lubricant. Due to the inherent low viscosity of the lubricant, GFTBs often have super-laminar flows in the film region at operating conditions with high Reynolds numbers. This paper develops a mathematical model of a GFTB with turbulent flows and validates the model predictions against those from the literature. The pressure distribution, film thickness distribution, load carrying capacity, and power loss are predicted for both laminar and turbulent flow models and compared with each other. Predictions for an air lubricant show that the GFTB has high Reynolds numbers at the leading edge where the film thickness is large and relatively low Reynolds numbers at the trailing edge. The predicted load capacity and power loss for the turbulent flow model show little difference from those for the laminar flow model even at the highest speed of 100 krpm, because the Reynolds numbers are smaller than the critical Reynolds number. On the other hand, refrigerant (R-134a) lubricant, which has a higher density than air, had significant differences due to high Reynolds numbers in the film region, in particular, near the leading and outer edges. The predicted load capacity and power loss for the turbulent flow model are 2.1 and 2.3 times larger, respectively, than those for the laminar flow model, thus implying that the turbulent flow greatly affects the performance of the GFTB.

In this paper, a new permanent-magnet (PM) linear motor is proposed, in which both the magnets and armature windings are placed in the short mover, while the long stator consists of iron core only. Hence, this new PM linear motor can be called a primary permanent-magnet linear motor. It exhibits the advantages of robustness, low cost, high efficiency, high power factor, and high thrust force density. It is especially suitable for long stator applications such as urban rail transit. In this paper, the topology and operation principle of this motor are discussed in detail. The steady-state characteristics including field distributions, flux-linkage, back-EMF, phase inductance and thrust force are investigated. In addition, the technique of skewing stator teeth is adopted to improve the electromagnetic performance. Results from finite element method (FEM) verified the theoretical analysis results.

본 논문은 고온 환경의 화력발전소 보일러 내부 점검용 드론 개발을 위한 선행연구로 AirSim을 이용한 고온 환경에서의 시뮬레이션을 통해 드론이 정상적인 비행이 가능한지 검증 하였다. 고온의 비행 환경에서는 공기 밀도, 점성계수 등이 상온과 달라 공력특성이 달라지며 이에 따라 드론의 비행성능 또한 달라진다. 따라서 온도 변화에 따른 프로펠러의 공력 특성의 변화를 확인하기 위해 JBLADE를 통한 프로펠러 해석과 추력 테스트, 전기추진계통 성능예측모델을 통한 동작특성예측을 수행하였다. 그리고 해석 및 성능예측 결과를 AirSim에 적용해 시뮬레이션을 진행하고 결과 분석을 통해 기체 재설계를 진행하였다. 재설계 결과 80℃의 환경에서 호버링 시 필요한 추력을 얻기 위해 재설계 전 최대 출력의 약 65% 사용하던 것이 52%로 감소함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the spray characteristics of the oxidizer rich preburner injector which can be used in the high-thrust rocket system. We designed the basic shape of the liquid-liquid coaxial swirl injector for the rocket oxidizer rich preburner injection system. To understand the spray angle variation with the high pressure environment, the spray visualization in the high pressure chamber was preformed. Also we measured the droplet velocity, the Sauter Mean Diameter(SMD), the volume flux and the number density with the PDPA system by using water in atmospheric pressure. The results show that the spray angle is reduced by increasing ambient pressure and maximum droplet velocity is shown from a nozzle tip and then the droplet velocity decreases as a spray moves to the downstream. The SMD decreases on the axial distance from 20 mm to 50 mm but it increases over 50 mm. That is due to the increasing number of collision with each droplet and interaction with ambient air on going downstream direction.

Application of linear electric motors to automation of manufacturing processes, gantry robots, machining processes, machining centers, additive manufacturing and laser scribing has been discussed. The paper focuses on replacement of ball lead screw mechanisms with linear electric motors, linear motor driven positioning stages, linear motor driven gantries, machining centers, machining of large objects and industrial lasers. The best linear electric motors for application to machining processes are permanent magnet (PM) linear synchronous motors (LSMs), especially those without PMs in the reaction tail, e.g., high thrust density linear (HDL) LSMs and PM flux switching (FS) LSMs.

One of the most important technical improvement required for ropeless elevator system to become practical is the improvements in overall system efficiency. Moreover, the predominant drawback of permanent magnet (PM) linear synchronous motor (LSM) is large detent force. Therefore, for the given volume the selection of high power density PM-LSM with low detent force is very imperative. In this paper, we will investigate the characteristics of thrust and detent force of PM-LSM under different motor topology structure. Finally, the long stator double-sided iron core type PM-LSM with fractional slot winding is the best choice for the ropeless elevator system.

This research presents the performance analysis of the linear type pneumatic actuators that are used in semi-conductor assembly line to transfer some product with high accuracy. To increase positioning and repetitive accuracies, a cross roller guide is implemented inside the pneumatic actuator. The finite element method is used to verify the force against working moments, and reliability analysis is performed to classify the breakdown cases. Also, reliability, failure rate, probability density function, and $B_{10}$ to life are estimated under the boundary of thrust or air leakage conditions. In this study, the failure probabilistic function of the pneumatic actuators is analyzed using Weibull distribution.

The rotating electrodynamic wheel over a conductive plate produces thrust force as well as normal force. Specially, separating the conductive plate and spacing apart each part, the lateral stability of the rotating wheel is guaranteed due to the restoring force into neutral position. In this paper, the force characteristics of the electrodynamic wheel rotating over the conductive plate is analyzed using the finite element tool. First, the dominant parameters are identified considering the geometric configuration and the operating condition. And the sensitivity for the parameter deviation is quantified for the high force density. The above topology can be applied as an actuating principle for inter-city train as well as contact-free transfer device.

액체로켓추진시스템에서 추진제 가압시스템은 추진제가 저장되어 있는 탱크의 얼리지 공간에 가압제인 가스를 제어된 압력으로 공급하는 것이다. 이러한 추진제 가압시스템의 가장 중요한 설계변수는 가압제를 저장하고 있는 탱크에서 토출되는 가압제의 온도이며, 기체상태인 가압제의 밀도는 토출되는 가압제의 온도에 따라 민감하게 변한다. 일반적으로 고추력을 요구하는 극저온 추진제가 적용되는 추진기관에서는 가압제를 고밀도 고압으로 저장하여 가압제 탱크의 무게를 줄이기 위하여 가압제 저장탱크를 극저온 추진제 탱크 내부에 설치하는 극저온 저장 가압시스템을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 가압제가 가압제 저장탱크에서 토출 될 때 강하되는 온도 변화를 실험 및 해석을 통하여 고찰하였다. 본 연구에 적용된 유체는 외부유체로 공기와 액체산소 그리고 가압제로 $GN_2$와 GHe를 각각 사용하였다.

램제트 부스터로 사용되는 무노즐 부스터의 특성을 알아보기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 무노즐 부스터는 수축-팽창되는 고정된 노즐목이 없어 일반적인 모터보다 압력 및 추력에 관련된 성능이 감소한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 금속연료로 알루미늄을 사용하여 밀도비추력이 최대인 고성능 추진제를 개발하였고, 지상연소시험을 통해 세장비(L/D)에 따른 성능 특성을 알아보았다. 동등한 추진제와 동일한 세장비에서 고정된 노즐목을 사용한 일반적인 모터와 비교시 비추력은 75%까지 나타났으나, 동일 평균압력 내에서는 85%까지 나타날 것으로 예측된다.
