Various types of the air/fuel pre-mixer have been designed and tested to investigate the combustion characteristics of the lean-premixed gas turbine combustor, such as NO emission and flame stability. One type of the pre-mixers has been selected and installed to a 70 kW lean-premixed gas turbine combustor. The concentrations of CO and NO were measured with varying equivalence ratios in the combustion chamber at ambient pressure. The result shows that the emissions of CO and NO are heavily affected by the shape of the pre-mixer. The NO and CO emissions decreased, as the mixing ratio of air and fuel increased. In addition, the NO emission of the lean-premixed low NOx combustor is more dependent on the equivalence ratio than that of the conventional combustor.

Gerotor hydraulic motor is widely used in hydraulic systems due to its low speed, high torque output and compactness in rotational direct driving of a heavy weight. Gerotor is a Planar mechanism consisted of a pair of rotor and circular teeth of stator assembly which forms a closed space, so called a chamber. The motion of rotor relative to the circular tooth is produced by the pressure difference of hydraulic operating fluid between the adjacent chamber. As all active contact points of rotor and circular teeth are subjected to very high sliding friction, a reduction in the performance of the gerotor hydraulic motor can not be avoided. Therefore, the core design parameters of gerotor profile used in hydraulic motors is to minimize a friction force by high contact stresses. The analytical design method of gerotor profile, based on envelope of a family of curves, is proposed. In this study, the influence of the tip clearances on three critical contact points between rotor and circular teeth of stator assembly has been explored by experimental data in this paper. At the same time a improvement method to reduce the friction force is proposed and the tip clearances on three critical points for getting an optimum gerotor profile are also analyzed.

In order to minimize a building energy consumption with ventilation, a development of smart ventilation system is very important. In this study, a dry adsorbent that is main element of smart ventilation system was developed for removing indoor $CO_2$, and evaluate the adsorption performance. Specific surface area, pore characteristic and crystal structure of the modified sorbent was measured to analyze physical properties. From this analysis, it was found that the developed absorbent has a low specific surface area, due to mesopores of substrate was filled with metal contained raw material. Additionally, through analysis of the adsorption properties, the developed adsorbent was shown a adsorption form of mesopore (type IV), which means adsorption amount was rapidly increased at the part of high-pressure. Order to applying for the field, chamber test was performed. Continuous column tests (2,500 ppm) and batch chamber tests ($4m^3$, 5,000 ppm) showed $CO_2$ removal efficiency of 95% and 88% within 1 hour, respectively.

Hot firing tests of sub-scale combustors were carried out to study the characteristic velocity according to the variation of propellant mass flow and injector arrangement. Test results show that there exists an effective range of relative flow-rate density on the condition of similar combustion pressure and mixture ratio. Numerical analysis has also revealed that the increase of the distance between the outermost injector array and the cylindrical chamber wall with film cooling increases the region of low mixture ratio near combustion chamber wall and it decreases the characteristic velocity of the combustor. Thus, it was confirmed that these two factors play an important part in improving the performance of LRE combustor on a predetermined chamber pressure.

MOV(Main Oxidizer shut-off Valves) control the combustion of launch vehicle systems by the supply and the isolation of liquid oxygen to a main combustion chamber in launch vehicle systems. Moreover, in the steady operational state, the MOV should secure a constant flow rate of liquid oxygen for combustion instability in the combustion chamber. Concerning the development of MOV, TM(Technology Model) has been manufactured and normal operations of the valve have been verified. However, the Cv of TM has been proved to be too low as compared with a design specification value. Therefore, CFD analysis have been performed by modification of the configurations of TM in order to increase sufficiently Cv of EM(Engineering Model), which is the following model of TM. The modifications of TM configurations such as partial scale-up of valve, increase of stroke length, and outlet angle of 120o would result in a considerable augmentation of Cv. It has been verified by flow capacity tests that the improved Cv of EM is min. 212, which is higher than Cv of TM, 161 by about 32%.

The effects of swirl on early flame development and late combustion characteristic were investigated using a high speed single-shot visualized 51 engine. LDV measurements were performed to get better understanding of the flow field in this combustion chamber. Spark plugs were located at half radius (R/2) and central location of bore. High speed schlieren photographs at 20,000 frames/sec were taken to visualize the detailed formation and development of the flame kernel with cylinder pressure measurements. This study showed that high swirl gave favorable effects on combustion-related performances in terms of the maximum cylinder pressure and flame growth rate regardless of spark position. However, at R/2 ignition the low swirl shown desirable effects at low engine speed gave worse performances as engine speed increased than without swirl. There were distinct signs of slow-down in flame growth during the period when the flame front expanded from 2.5mm in radius until it reached 5.0mm apparently due to the presence of ground electrode. There seemed to be heat transfer effect on the flame expansion speed which was evidenced in high swirl case by the slowdown of the late flame front presumably caused by relatively large heat loss from burned gas to wall compared with low- or no-swirl cases.

This research is aimed at developing(110) preferred TiS2 cathode films and glass typed solid electro-lytes which have high ionic migrations and low electron conductivities for thin secondary solid batteries. To obtain preferred oriented TiS2 thin films on a substrate by CVD method using TiCl4 and H2S gases three factors of heating temperature, inner pressure of furnace and TiCl4/H2S gas mole fraction were ex-amined systematically. To obtain solid films of Li2O-B2O3-SiO2 electrolytes by r.f. sputtering for thin proto-type batteries of Li/Li2O-B2O3-SiO2TiS2, sputtering conditions were examined. TiS2 cathode films showed columnar structure, namely c axis oriented parallely. At low pressure of reaction chamber and low heating temperature, surface of smooth TiS2 films couldd be obtained. Ionic conductivity of Li2O-B2O3-SiO2 films manufactured by r.f. magnetron sputtering were 3$\times$10-7$\Omega$-1cm-1 and electron conductivities were 10-11$\Omega$-1cm-1. Open cell voltage of thin lithium batteries were 2.32V with a designed prototype cell.

For the successful development of the main engine of KSR(Korea Sounding Rocket)-III, Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) carried out the experimental study on the subscale model engines. Several types of engines were tested on the Small Liquid Rocket Engine Test Facility. One of the typical test results of a Sub. engine(Sub. Mod.3) is presented here. It uses the Jet A-1 as fuel, liquid oxygen as oxidizer, and Tri-Ethyl Aluminium(TEA1) as ignition agent. The gas pressure feed system is adopted as a feeding mechanism and the design chamber pressure is 200psia. The physical phenomena are described in three regimes(ignition, transient, and steady state) with the pressure, thrust, flowrate and image data. And the pressure oscillation is analyzed in Fourier domain (<500Hz). Then we conclude that in this experiment, the engine shows the characteristic low frequency of 80Hz and it is stable for that frequency of pressure oscillation.

This paper presents direct ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin film growth on the glass substrates using RPCVD system (remote plasma chemical vapor deposition) in low temperature. Hydrogenated micro-crystalline silicon deposited by RPCVD system in low temperature is very useful material for photovoltaic devices, sensor applications, and TFTs (thin film transistors). Varying the deposition conditions such as substrate temperature, gas flow rate, reactive gas ratio $(SiH_4/H_2)$, total chamber pressure, and rf power, we deposited ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin films on the glass substrates (Corning glass 1737). And then we measured the structural and electrical properties of the films.

Of the roughly four million known substances, about 60,000 are processed and sold ; many of these must be dried. Many materials are processed in the liquid state - ideal for mixing and reacting - but most products are needed or wanted as dry, or relatively dry, solids. Usually operation is just below atmospheric pressure, as with direct dryers, but some are built for vacuum operation with pressures as low as 26.66kPa abs.. In spite of the global-class aquiculture agriculture and fisheries technology of our country, the processing technologies are lags behind the other nations relatively. These problems are considered to be caused directly by the lack of drying technologies. This paper is concerned to the experimental results of drying heat transfer characteristics for the green energy type vacuum dryer for the high quality agriculture and fisheries production.
