A general purpose viscous flow solver Ansys CFX is used to study a Savonius type wave energy converter in a 3D numerical viscous wave tank. This paper presents the results of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the effect of blade configuration on the performance of 3 bladed Savonius rotors for wave energy extraction. A piston-type wave generator was incorporated in the computational domain to generate the desired incident waves. A complete OWC system with a 3-bladed Savonius rotor was modeled in a three dimensional numerical wave tank and the hydrodynamic conversion efficiency was estimated. The flow over the rotors is assumed to be two-dimensional (2D), viscous, turbulent and unsteady. The CFX code is used with a solver of the coupled conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy, with an implicit time scheme and with the adoption of the hexahedral mesh and the moving mesh techniques in areas of moving surfaces. Turbulence is modeled with the k.e model. Simulations were carried out simultaneously for the rotor angle and the helical twist. The results indicate that the developed models are suitable to analyze the water flows both in the chamber and in the turbine. For the turbine, the numerical results of torque were compared for all the cases.

현재 전력 반도체는 신재생/대체 에너지 시스템, 자동차/전기자동차, 디스플레이/LED 드라이브 IC 등과 같이 산업용뿐만 아니라 가정용에서도 그 수요가 급증하고 있다. 이러한 전력 반도체는 각 시스템에서 전력 변환, 분배 및 관리를 하는 역할을 하게 되는데, 이러한 전력 시스템에 적용되기 위해서는 고속 스위칭, 낮은 전력 손실 및 발열, 소형화 등의 특성이 요구되어진다. 이러한 특성을 만족하기 위해 현재 전력반도체는 수평형 소자에서 수직 형태로의 구조적 변경을 꽤하고 있으며, 또한 수직형 구조에서도 더욱 소형화와 고밀도 전류, 낮은 전력 손실 특성을 구현하기 위해 여러 가지 형태의 어레이 기술을 개발하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사각 형태의 어레이 (square array, mesh type)를 가지는 수직형 TDMOS (Trench double diffused metal oxide effect transistor)에서 트렌치 부분을 중심으로 액티브 영역과 그 외각 영역의 도핑 농도와 접합 깊이의 변화에 따른 전기적 특성 변화를 파악함으로써 TDMOS의 안정적인 구동 영역을 확보하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구는 silvaco 시뮬레이션 툴을 이용하여 실제 소자 제작 공정과 유사한 형태로의 공정을 가상적으로 진행하고, 액티브 영역과 그 외각 영역의 도핑 및 접합 깊이를 결정하는 이온 주입량과, 후속 열처리의 온도와 시간 등을 변화함으로써 그 전기적 특성을 상호 비교하였다.

Twin-skeg type stern shapes are recently adopted for very large commercial ships. However it is difficult to apply a CFD system to a hull form having twin-skeg, since grid topology around a twin-skeg type stern is more complicated than that of a conventional single-screw ship, or of an open-shaft type twin-screw ship with center-skeg. In the present study a surface mesh generator and a multi-block field grid generation program have been developed for twin-skeg type stern. Furthermore, multi-block flow solvers are utilized for potential and viscous flow analysis around a twin-skeg type stern The present computational system is applied to a 15,000TEU container ship with twin-skeg to prove the applicability. Wave profiles and wake distribution are calculated using the developed flow analysis tools and the results are compared with towing tank measurements.

In order to study drug release from the suppository, three types of hollow suppositories and one conventional suppository were prepared using indomethacin(IDM) as a model drug and Witepsol H-15 as a base. The 4 types of suppository prepared are as follows: type I, conventional suppository containing 50 mg of IDM powder, type II, hollow supository containing 50 mg of IDM powder in the cavity, type III, hollow suppository containing 25 mg of IDM powder in the base and IDM microcapsules (25 mg as IDM powder) in the cavity, and type IV, hollow suppository containing IDM microcapsules (25 mg as IDM powder) in the base and 0.5 ml of 5%(w/v) IDM-PEG 300 solution in the cavity. The drug amount released(%) from type II and I within 24 hrs was 46.7% and 66.9%, respectively. Comparing with the drug amount released from four types of suppository within initial 2 hrs and 24 hrs, that of type IV was high as 32.7% and 76.6%, respectively. IDM-ethycellulose microcapsules passed through 270 mesh sieve and the IDM content was 20.95%.

Alkaline water electrolysis has been commercialized as the only large-scale method for a long time to produce hydrogen and the technology is superior to other methods such as photochemical, thermochemical water splitting, and thermal decomposition method in view of efficiency and related technical problem. However, such conventional electrolyzer do not have high electric efficiency and productivity to apply to large scale hydrogen production for energy or chemical feedstocks. Solid polymer electrolyte water electrolysis using a perfluorocation exchange membrane as an $H^+$ ion conductor is considered to be a promising method, because of capability for operating at high current densities and low cell voltages. So, this is a good technology for the storage of electricity generated by photovoltaic power plants, wind generators and other energy conversion systems. One of the most important R&D topics in electrolyser is how to minimize cell voltage and maximize current density in order to increase the productivity of the electrolyzer. A commercialized technology is the hot press method which the film type electrocatalyst is hot-pressed to soild polymer membrane in order to eliminate the contact resistance. Various technologies, electrocatalyst formed over Nafion membrane surface by means of nonelectrolytic plating process, porous sintered metal(titanium powder) or titanium mesh coated with electrocatalyst, have been studied for preparation of membrane-electrocatalyst composites. In this study some experiments have been conducted at a solid polymer electrolyte water electrolyzer, which consisted of single cell stack with an electrode area of $25cm^2$ in a unipolar arrangement using titanium mesh coated with electrocatalyst.

Since the organophilic bentonite disperses well in polymer matrix, a composite material of polymer and bentonite was studied for its mechanical properties. To increase the degree of dispersion and the bond in forces to the polymer matrix, bentonite, encapsulated by imidazoline, was used as a filler. Polyethylene powder of particle size of 100 mesh was used, and organophilic bentonite, so-called bentone, whose particle size was 250 mesh was also used in this experiment. V-type mixer was used for mixing and Banbury mixer was used for melt-blending. The sample specimen were made by heating the mixture in the plate press, and the specimen were formed as a sheet, exactly the same as the mold on the plate. Tensile strength, bending strength and compressive strength were studied specially. Tensile strength, elongation rate, bending strength and bending rate at constant pressure were decreased as the filler content increased. Compressive strength was increased as the filler content increased.

In this study, the regression analysis method was tested for the estimation of peak stress at stress concentration area in the cervical bone. Submerge type EZ plus implant (Megagen. Daegu, Korea), 4.1 mm in cervical diameter and 9.6 mm in endosseous length, were axisymmetrically modelled together with surrounding alveolar bone of which the width was 10 mm. Vertical force of 100 N was applied to a head of crown above 8.5 mm from the outer surface of the cortical bone. Four different mesh models were composed of differently sized elements in vicinity of sharp corners, and they include 6 stress monitoring points that are located in the same geometrical points regardless of the differences in the meshes. Primary consideration was given to the stresses in the cortical bone surrounding the implant neck. The results showed that virtually all the stresses were concentrated in the cortical bone regardless of mesh designs. The peak stresses were successfully calculated by a regression analysis in a stable manner, as far as the mesh is designed to represent the acute gradient of stresses near the sharp corner.

Research for climate control seats is being vigorously pursued because requests for passenger's thermal comfort are increasing. Recently, thermoelectric devices have been applied to automotive seats for both cooling and heating operations. The climate control seats using thermoelectric devices can rapidly control the air temperature passing through the devices and directly affect the thermal comfort of passengers. The performance characteristics of the climate control seats were analyzed by experiments for two different types of a leather covered seat and a mesh applied seat. Experimental results show that the cooling and heating performance for the mesh applied seat by using the discharge port of the shape of nozzle was improved significantly in comparison with that for the leather covered seat. The variation of temperature between the inlet air and the outlet air of the climate control seat for the enhanced mesh applied type was by $-3.5^{\circ}C$ at cooling mode, and was by $15.0^{\circ}C$ at heating mode, after about 30 minutes, respectively. Also, it is possible to provide rapid thermal comfort to passengers sitting on the seat in the vehicle cabin by using the proposed climate control seat.

This paper is intended to study how well the routing protocol supplied in wireless mesh networks can evade interference path along the applied routing metric. Wireless mesh networks, unlike existing network techniques, has the characteristics that node movement is less and energy effect is limited. Therefore. this type of network requires path configuring technique to reflect such network characteristics and new routing metric to determine proper path. Routing metric proposed recently is designed to produce link quality accurately, but it configures path not considering the traffic situation of adjacent nodes. Thus. this technique has the problems of reduced transfer rate and delay between terminals occurring due to frequent traffic chaos by the interference of adjacent nodes. Therefore, this paper proposes metric that configures routing path by finding like metric that can transfer data effectively by considering the traffic situation of adjacent nodes. We confirmed through simulation that the proposed routing metric reduces the delay between terminals via the path that evades the traffic interference of adjacent node.

In this study, a flat-type photocatalytic reactor is applied under solar irradiation for simultaneous treatment of target pollutants: reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and oxidation of EDCs (BPA, EE2, E2). An immobilized type of photocatalyst was fabricated to have self-grown nanotubes on its surface in order to overcome limitations of powdery photocatalyst. Moreover, Ti mesh form was chosen as substrate and modified to have both larger surface area and photocatalyst content. Ti mesh was anodized at 50V and $25^{\circ}C$ for 30min in the mixed electrolytes ($NH_4F-H_2O-C_2H_6O_2$) and annealed at $450^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in ambient oxygen to have anatase structure. Surface characterization was done with SEM and XRD methodologies. Fabricated NTT was applied to water treatment, and coexisting Cr(VI) and organics (EDCs) enhanced each other's reactions by scavenging holes and electrons and thus impeding recombination. Also, several experiments were conducted outdoor under direct sunlight and it was observed that both solar-tracking and applying modified photocatalyst were proven to enhance reaction efficiency.
