This paper presents a parallel algorithm for the finite element analysis using relatively inexpensive transputer parallel system. The substructure method, which is highly parallel in nature, is used to improve the parallel computing efficiency by splitting up the whole structure into substructures. The proposed algorithm is applied to a simple two-dimensional magnetostatic problem. It is found that the more the number of transputer is increased, the more the total computation time is reduced. And the computational efficiency becomes better as the number of internal boundary nodes becomes smaller.

In this paper, a generalized efficiency equation was proposed to estimate the internal loss of the SMPS (switched-mode power supply) with 3 variables. The first variable was an internal loss not related to the load current such as auxiliary power, the second was a loss proportional to the current such as diode loss, and the third was a loss proportional to square of the current such as conduction loss. Especially, theoretical internal losses of the totem pole bridgeless PFC which is widely used for high efficiency SMPS were expressed as output function to compare generalized efficiency equation. In addition, in order to reduce the conduction loss of the switch, when a multiple switch were paralleled, the correlation with the efficiency was analyzed and shown as a graph. In order to confirm the degree of the parallel switch structure on the efficiency improvement, a 2kW class totem pole bridgeless PFC was constructed and the effectiveness of the analysis was confirmed by comparing the generalized efficiency equation and theoretical loss analysis results with experimental data.

본 연구에서는 SPH 해석을 위한 다면체영역분할 기법이 소개된다. SPH 기법은 유체 유동 모사를 위한 수치해석기법으로 무요소기법(meshless method) 중 하나이다. 유동성 지반 또는 고체-유체 상호작용 해석 등에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. SPH는 입자기반 해석이기 때문에 입자가 많을수록 결과의 정확도는 높아지지만 수치적 효율성은 떨어진다. 일반적으로 해석의 효율성을 높이기 위해 병렬 프로세싱 알고리즘과 함께 쓰이는데 직교좌표계 기반의 영역분할 기법이 대표적이다. 그러나 복잡한 기하학적 형태나 동적 경계조건에서 유동 모사 등을 병렬 해석하기 위해서는 직교좌표계 영역분할 방법이 적합하지 않다. 소개하는 다면체영역분할 기법은 이와 같은 문제에서 병렬효율성을 높일 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 다양한 형태의 3차원 다면체 요소로 분할하여 문제에 적합하게 모델링할 수 있다. SPH 입자들의 물리적 값들은 smoothing 길이 이내의 주위 입자들 정보를 이용하여 계산된다. 영역분할 시 물리적으로 분리될 수 있는 입자정보들을 코어간 공유할 수 있는 방법과 병렬효율성이 떨어질 수 있는 cross-point에서의 정보공유 방법이 소개된다. 수치해석 예제를 통하여 제안된 방법의 병렬효율성은 12코어까지 95%에 근접하였다. 이후 코어가 증가할수록 코어간 공유되는 정보량이 많아져 병렬효율성이 떨어지는 문제가 발생되기도 하였다.

Heat generation rate in a telecommunication cabinet increases due to the continued usage of mobile devices. Insufficient removal of heat intensifies the cabinet temperature, resulting in the malfunction of electronic devices. In this study, we assessed both aluminum and plastic heat exchangers used for cooling of the telecommunication cabinet, and compared the results against theoretical predictions. The aluminum heat exchanger was composed of counter flow parallel channels of 4.5 mm pitch, and the plastic heat exchangers were composed of cross flow triangular channels of 2.0 mm pitch. Samples were made by installing two plastic heat exchangers in both series and parallel. Results showed that the heat transfer rate was highest for the series cross flow heat exchanger, and was least for the aluminum heat exchanger. The temperature efficiency of the series cross flow heat exchanger was 59% greater than that of the aluminum heat exchanger, and was 4.3% greater than that of the parallel cross flow heat exchanger. In contrast, the pressure drop of the parallel cross flow heat exchanger was significantly lower than other samples. The heat exchange efficiency was also the largest for the parallel cross flow heat exchanger. The theoretical analysis predicted the temperature efficiency to be within 3.3%, and the pressure drop within 6.1%.

기존의 저궤도 인공위성 전력계 시스템에 사용된 직렬 구조, 병렬 구조는 공전 주기 동안 두 번의 전력변환 과정을 거쳐 시스템의 효율을 감소시킨다. 직-병렬 구조는 한 번의 전력변환 과정을 거쳐 시스템의 효율을 향상시키지만 레귤레이터가 추가됨으로써 시스템의 비용과 무게, 크기를 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 레귤레이터의 추가 없이 시스템의 효율을 향상시키는 단순화된 직-병렬 구조를 제안한다. 인공위성이 지구를 공전하는 동안 상황에 따라 변화하는 제안한 구조의 동작을 네 가지 모드로 분류하고, 각 모드마다 제안한 시스템을 안정적인 동작을 확인하기 위하여 대신호 분석을 수행하였다. 실험을 통하여 기존의 직렬구조와 제안한 구조의 효율을 비교하였다. 제안한 구조의 안정적인 동작을 검증하기 위해 200W급 태양전지와 TMS320F2812 DSP로 제어되는 100W급 전력조절기 두 모듈을 병렬로 구성하여 실험하였다.

This paper studies the radio frequency to direct current (RF-DC) conversion efficiency of rectennas applicable to wireless power transfer systems, where multiple receive antennas are arranged in serial, parallel or cascaded form. To begin with, a 2.45 GHz dual-diode rectifier is designed and its equivalent linear model is applied to analyze its output voltage and current. Then, using Advanced Design System (ADS), it is shown that the rectifying efficiency is as large as 66.2% in case the input power is 15.4 dBm. On the other hand, to boost the DC output, three composite rectennas are designed by inter-connecting two dual-diode rectifiers in serial, parallel and cascade forms; and their output voltage and current are investigated using their respective equivalent linear models. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that all composite rectennas have almost the same RF-DC conversion efficiency as the dual-diode rectifier, yet the output of voltage or current can be significantly increased; in particular, the cascade rectenna obtains the highest rectifying efficiency.

This paper describes a 100 kW high-efficiency isolated DC-DC converter for DC distribution system. The DC-DC converter consists of two dual-active-bridge (DAB) converters in parallel. The operating principle of the DAB converter is explained, and the algorithm for parallel operation of the DAB converters is proposed. Simulation and experiments are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed system. Experimental results demonstrate that the developed converter excellently marks 97.4 percent of peak efficiency under its normal operating condition.

The heat and flow characteristics in a single-phase parallel-flow heat exchanger was examined numerically to obtain its optimal shape. A response surface method was introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the design domain. The inflow/outflow angle of the working fluid, the location of inlet/outlet, the protruding height of flat tube and the height of header were chosen as a design parameter The evaluation of the relative importance of the design parameters was performed based on a sensitivity analysis. An efficiency index was used as an evaluation characteristics value to simultaneously consider both the heat transfer and the pressure drop. The efficiency index of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by 9.3%.

Indoor air quality becomes of a concern recently in view of human health. This study investigates the air diffusion performance and the air change efficiency of a classroom, when outdoor air is introduced in two different ways in addition to the heating/cooling operation of a ceiling-mounted heat pump. A CFD analysis has been performed to investigate the effect of the discharge angle of the air jets from the heat pump for both parallel and series types of outdoor air system. It is observed that the series type creates more uniform indoor environment compared to the parallel type in general. It can be concluded the discharge angle should not be larger than 40o for the parallel type, in order not to generate thermal stratification in the room.

In this paper, the equations of motions for planar multibody dynamics are established for considering the parallel programming based on GPU. Cartesian coordinates are used to formulate the equations of motion and implicit integration method called HHT-alpha is employed. Open chain multibody system is considered for computer simulation. CUDA toolkit is employed for establishing the GPU parallel programming. The exactness of the analysis is verified from the comparison with ADAMS. The results from parallel computing based on GPU are compared with the results from the sequential programming based on CPU in terms of calculation time. The multiple pendulum with bodies and joints is employed for the computer simulation. In the pendulum system that has 290 bodies, the parallel program indicates an improved efficiency of about 25.5 second(15.5% improvement). It is noted that the larger the size of system is, the time efficiency is better.
