논문에서는 어닐링 시뮬레이션에 근거한 인공 뉴럴 네트워크를 구축한다. 미세 유동채널의 전기화학적 가공 파라미터와 채널 형태 간의 매핑은 샘플의 학습에 의하여 이루어진다. 스텐리스강 표면에 대한 미세 유동채널의 전기화학적 가공의 깊이와 넓이가 예측되고, 형성된 네트워크 모델을 입증하기 위한 NaNO3 해 내부의 펄스 전원공급기와 함께 유동채널의 실험이 진행된다. 결과적으로, "4-7-2" 구조를 갖는 인공 뉴럴 네트워크에 의한 어닐링 시뮬레이션으로 예측된 채널의 깊이와 넓이는 실험값에 매우 근접한다. 그 오차는 5.3% 미만이다. 예측된 데이터와 실험 데이터는 전기화학적 가공 과정에서의 에칭 규격이 전압 및 전류의 밀도와 매우 밀접한 관계가 있음을 보여준다. 전압이 5V보다 작을 때에는 채널 내에 "작은 섬"이 형성된다; 반면에 전압이 40V보다 클 때에는 채널의 측면 에칭이 비교적 크고 채널 사이의 "댐"은 사라지게 된다. 전압이 25V일 때 채널의 가공 형태는 최적이 된다.

Micro hydropower is a readily available renewable energy source that can be harvested utilizing hydrokinetic turbines from shallow water canals, irrigation and industrial channel flows, and run-off river stream flows. These sources generally have low head (<1 m) and low velocity which makes it difficult to harvest energy using conventional turbines. A horizontal-axis screw turbine was designed and numerically tested to extract power from such low-head water sources. The 3-bladed screw-type turbine is placed horizontally perpendicular to the incoming flow, partially submerged in a narrow water channel at no-head condition. The turbine hydraulic performances were studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics models. Turbine design parameters such as the shroud diameter, the hub-to-shroud ratios, and the submerged depths were obtained through a steady-state parametric study. The resulting turbine configuration was then tested by solving the unsteady multiphase free-surface equations mimicking an actual open channel flow scenario. The turbine performance in the shallow channel were studied for various Tip Speed Ratios (TSR). The highest power coefficient was obtained at a TSR of 0.3. The turbine was then scaled-up to test its performance on a real site condition at a head of 0.3 m. The highest power coefficient obtained was 0.18. Several losses were observed in the 3-bladed turbine design and to minimize losses, the number of blades were increased to five. The power coefficient improved by 236% for a 5-bladed screw turbine. The fluid losses were minimized by increasing the blade surface area submerged in water. The turbine performance was increased by 74.4% after dipping the turbine to a bottom wall clearance of 30 cm from 60 cm. The final output of the novel horizontal-axis screw turbine showed a 2.83 kW power output at a power coefficient of 0.63. The turbine is expected to produce 18,744 kWh/year of electricity. The design feasibility test of the turbine showed promising results to harvest energy from small hydropower sources.
