This study was conducted to figure out the diagnosis basis of cooling performance depending on water amount in the refrigerant of air conditioner, which can be estimated by the temperatures and pressures along the refrigerant circulation line. A car air conditioner of SONATA III (Hyundai motor Co., Korea) was tested at maximum cooling condition at the engine speed of 1500 rpm in the room controlled at 33~$35^{\circ}C$ air temperature and 55~57% relative humidity conditionally. Measured variables were temperature differences between inlet and outlet pipe surfaces of the compressor, condenser, receive drier and evaporator; and high pressure and low pressure in the refrigerant circulation line; and temperature difference between inlet and outlet air of the cooling vent of evaporator. In this study, changes of the water amount in the refrigerant were correlated to the temperatures and pressure changes and also water amount caused poor cooling performance. As water amount increased in the refrigerant in the air conditioner, the performance of the cooling or the heat transfer became worse. Temporal variations of the surface temperature of the evaporator outlet pipe and the low-side pressure showed various patterns that could estimate the water amount. When the water amount caused bad cooling performance, the patterns of the temperature of the evaporator outlet pipe indicated irregular fluctuation greater than $5^{\circ}C$. When the diagnosis system is using just external sensors of the low-side pressure and the temperatures of inlet and outlet air of cooling vent of the evaporator, the precise pattern of bad cooling performance caused by excess water amount in the cooling line was irregular pressure fluctuation, 25 kPa under 120 kPa, and temperature, $12^{\circ}C$ and less.

This study was performed to present the diagnosis basis of cooling performance deficiency according to air quantity included in refrigerant of air-conditioner by detecting the temperatures and pressures of refrigerant pipeline. The car air-conditioner of SONATA III (Hyundai motor Co., Korea) was tested by maximum cooling condition at 1500 rpm of engine speed in the room with controlled air condition at $33\sim35^{\circ}C$ and 55~57% RH. Measured variables were temperature differences between inlet and outlet pipe surface of the compressor (Tcom), condenser (Tcon), receive dryer (Trec) and evaporator (Teva), and high pressure (HP) and low pressure (LP) in the refrigerant pipeline, and temperature difference (Tcoo) between inlet and outlet air of the cooling vent of evaporator. Control variables were the refrigerant charging weight and the vacuum degree in the refrigerant pipeline before charging refrigerant. From the test, it was represented that the measuring values of (Tcom), LP and (Tcoo) were enabled to make the diagnosis of cooling performance deficiency according to quantity included in refrigerant of air-conditioner. The ranges of Tcom, LP and Tcoo to make the diagnosis of cooling performance deficiency were respectively less than $55^{\circ}C$, more than 166.7 kPa-g(1.7 kgf/$cm^2$) and less than $13.7^{\circ}C$. In the case of using only external sensors and the condition under the normal performances of air conditioner, it was considered that the ranges of LP and Tcoo to make the diagnosis of cooling performance deficiency were respectively more than 166.7 Pa and less than $12^{\circ}C$.

Objective: The present study is intended to objectively classify upper- & lower-body sitting strategies and identify the effects of gender and OPL type on the sitting strategies. Background: A sitting strategy which statistically represents comfortable driving posture can be used as a reference posture of a humanoid in virtual design and evaluation of a driver's seat. Although previous research has classified sitting strategies for driving postures in various occupant package layout (OPL) types, the existing classification methods are not objective and the factors affecting sitting strategies have not been identified. Method: Forty drivers' preferred driving postures in three different OPL types (coupe, sedan, and SUV) were measured by a motion capture system. Next, the measured driving postures were classified by K-means cluster method. Results: Sitting strategies of upper-body were classified as erect (33%), slouched (41%), and reclined (26%) postures, and those of lower-body were classified as knee bent (42%), knee extended (32%), and upper-leg lifted (26%) postures. Significant differences at ${\alpha}$ = 0.05 in the upper-body sitting strategy by gender and lower-body sitting strategy by OPL type were found. Application: Both the classified sitting strategies and the identified factors would be of use in ergonomic seat design and evaluation.

희박 공연비에서 동작하는 디젤 엔진은 NOx 를 저감시키기 위해서 주기적으로 과농한 분위기를 형성해 주어야 한다. 최근 배기관 내에 환원제로서 경유를 직접 분사하는 HC-LNT 방식이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이러한 연구는 NOx 저감을 위해 HC 의 농도를 제어하는 기술로서, 실제 배기관내에 HC 가 균일하게 분포하여야 촉매의 정화효율이 향상되므로 HC 를 균일하게 분사하는 방법의 최적화가 가장 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 저압에서 미립화 특성이 양호한 가솔린 흡기포트 분사용 인젝터를 이용하여, 가시화 방법으로 실제 배기관내에서의 환원제 분무 거동 특성을 측정하였고 NOx 정화 특성간의 관계를 실험적으로 비교함으로써, 인젝터의 최적 부착 조건과 분사 조건을 파악하였다.

Recently, design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) technology has become a prominent design methodology for exploiting 3D printing, which leads the Fourth Industrial Revolution. When manufactured by the 3D printing method, it is possible to produce several shapes compared to the conventional casting or cutting process. DfAM-as a newly-proposed design methodology-can be used to specially design products with various shapes to apply functional requirements. Topology optimization verifies load paths to determine the draft design, and a shape-optimized design with objective functions for weight reduction enables efficient lightweight product design. In this study, by using these two DfAM technologies, a lightweight and optimal design is constructed for a node part of a vehicle body with a space frame designed for a lightweight vehicle. DfAM methodologies for concept design and detailed design, and the associated results, are presented. Finally, the product was additively manufactured, a fatigue performance test was performed, and the design reliability was verified.

본 연구에서는 열적-기계적 주기하중을 받고 있는 엔진 배기매니폴드에 대해서 열응력 해석방법과 열피로수명 예측과정을 제시하였다. 즉, 파손현상이 복잡한 배기시스템의 효율적인 유한요소 모델링 방법과 온도 의존성 재료의 시험결과를 이용한 해석 데이터 구성, 그리고 열사이클 하중에 대한 열응력 및 파손 예측방법을 디젤엔진의 배기매니폴드에 대해서 나타내었다. 일반적으로 배기매니폴드의 파손 취약부에서는 고온영역에서 큰 압축소성변형이 발생하고 냉각시에는 인장의 잔류응력이 나타난다. 따라서 이같은 응력과 변형률의 이력곡선으로부터 소성변형의 진폭 또는 소성에너지의 크기를 얻을 수 있으며 이를 통해서 피로수명을 예측할 수 있다.

This paper describes how primary contaminants in ambient air affect the performance of the cathode in fuel cell electric vehicle applications. The effect of four atmospheric pollutants ($SO_2$, $NH_3$, $NO_2$, and CO) on cathode performance was investigated by air impurity injection and recovery test under load. Electrochemical analysis via polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was performed for various concentrations of contaminants during the impurity test in order to determine the origins of performance decay. The variation in cell voltage derived empirically in this study and data reported in the literature were normalized and juxtaposed to elucidate the relationship between impurity concentration and performance. Mechanisms of cathode degradation by air impurities were discussed in light of the findings.

본 연구에서는 polypropylene 복합재료의 내스크래치성을 향상 시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 내스크래치성 개선을 위하여 PP의 분자량이 다른 두 종류의 PDMS계 M/B를 제조하여 각각의 함량에 따른 기계적 물성과 내스크래치성을 평가 하였다. 더 좋은 물성을 보인 마스터배치를 선택하여 grain pattern에 따른 내스크래치성을 평가 하였다. UTM과 편광현미경을 통하여 기계적 물성과 스크래치성을 평가 하였다. Color 3D laser Scanning microscope로 표면 grain pattern 형상을 관찰하였다. 마스터배치의 분자량과 함량에 따른 기계적 물성의 차이는 비교적 적은것으로 평가 되었으며 내스크래치 평가에서는 고분자량의 M/B를 첨가함에 따라 내스크래치성이 향상 되는 것으로 나타났다. Grain pattern에 따른 스크래치 평가에서는 grain pattern이 깊이가 깊고 불규칙하며 그 형태도 크고, 둥근형일 때 내스크래치성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

완도납석과 carbon black 의 혼합물을 135$0^{\circ}C$에서 질소분위기를 사용하여 탄소환원질화법으로 $\beta$-Sialon 분물에 $\beta$-SiC를 제2상으로 넣어서 $Y_2O_3$와 $ZrO_2$를 각 소결조제로 사용하여 175$0^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 상압소결하였다. 10wt %의 $Y_2O_3$를 소결조제로 사용하였을 때에 파괴인성은 3.8MN/m^{3/2}$, 3점꺽임 강도는 470MN/$m^2$ 그리고 경도는 13.7MN/$m^2$로서 좋은 값을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 파괴인성과 꺽임강도의 증가는 균열편향과 균열나눠짐에 의한 것으로 생각된다.
