The loss coefficient of the butterfly valve which allows partial opening of the valve at closed position and is applicable to the small-sized pipe system with the diameter of 1 inch was measured for the variation of the valve disk blockage ratio. Two different types of the valve disk configuration to adjust the blockage ratio were considered. One was the solid type valve disk of which the diameter was changed into the smaller size rather than the pipe diameter, and the other was the perforate type valve disk on which some holes were perforated. The results from two types of valve disk were compared to identify their characteristics in the loss coefficient distributions. The loss coefficient and the controllable angle of the valve disk were decreased exponentially with the decrease of the blockage ratio. In addition, the perforate valve disk had the effect on the higher loss coefficient rather than the solid type valve disk.

A steam control valve is used to control the flow from the steam generator to the steam turbine in thermal and nuclear power plants. During startup and shutdown of the plant, the steam control valve is operated under a partial flow conditions. In such conditions, the valve opening is small and the pressure deference across the valve is large. As a result, the flow downstream of the valve is composed of separated unsteady transonic jets. Such flow patterns often cause undesirable large unsteady fluid force on the valve head and downstream pipe system. In the present study, various flow patterns are investigated in order to understand the characteristics of the unsteady flow around the valve. Experiments are carried out with simplified two-dimensional valve models. Two-dimensional unsteady flow simulations are conducted in order to understand the experimental results in detail. Scale effects on the flow characteristics are also examined. Results show three types of oscillating flow pattern and three types of static flow patterns.

액체로켓엔진용 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브는 단순 온 오프 개폐작동을 통해 연소기로의 산화제 공급 유무만을 제어하기 때문에, 산화제 공급 유량 조절을 통한 엔진 점화 시동 특성제어 및 최적화에 한계가 있는 반면에 2단계 개방 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브는 밸브의 부분 개방에 의해 산화제 공급 유량을 조절함으로써 엔진 점화 시동 특성을 제어할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 액체로켓엔진용 2단계 개방 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브 개발을 위한 기본 설계 내용과 함께 밸브 작동성에 관한 검증시험 결과를 소개하기로 한다.

최근 강화되는 연료소비율과 배기 규제에 대응하기 위해 자동차용 엔진에 다양한 신기술들이 적용되고 있다. 직접분사식 희박연소 엔진은 안정적인 성층혼합기 연소를 통해 연료소비율 및 배출가스 개선이 가능하지만 과잉공기 조건에서 상대적으로 높은 수준은 질소산화물의 배출은 해결되어야 할 과제이다. 본 연구에서는 직접분사식 희박연소 LPG 엔진에서 가변 밸브 기구를 이용한 흡기 및 배기밸브 시기의 변경이 엔진의 성능 및 배출가스에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 스로틀링을 하지 않은 부분부하 운전 조건에서 흡기밸브 열림 시기의 진각은 공기과잉률의 증가에 의한 질소산화물 배출 증가에 원인으로 작용하였다. 배기밸브 열림 시기를 진각할 경우 팽창일 감소와 펌핑손실 증가에 의해 연료 소비율이 악화되었다.

본 연구에서 사용되는 발전기용 커먼레일 디젤엔진은 흡 배기 밸브의 작동을 위해 기계적으로 구동되는 캠축을 이용하고 있으며, 차량 운전조건 알맞게 밸브의 개폐시기가 고정되어 있다. 그러나 발전기용 엔진은 회전속도가 일정하고 부분부하에서 운전된다. 따라서, 발전용 커먼레일 디젤엔진의 최적화 설계를 위해 밸브 타이밍의 변화에 따른 디젤연소와 배출가스의 특성을 고찰하여 연비 측면에서 계산하였다. 디젤엔진의 밸브 타이밍은 흡배기 유동을 변화시킴으로서 연소특성에 영향을 주었으며 발전기의 연비 개선이 가능하다고 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 특수가스용기용 밸브의 안전성에 관한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 시험용 밸브는 특수가스용기에 부착되었던 것을 무작위로 수거한 것으로 가스누출 및 작동 안전성에 대한 시험을 실시하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 밸브의 몸체, 나사 체결부, 안전판, 방출구, 스템부, 핸들에서 가스누출 안전성에 영향을 미칠 정도의 크랙, 마모, 부식, 변형이 발생하지 않았다. 다만, 핸들의 페인트 일부가 벗겨지고, PT나사와 몸체에서 녹이 국부적으로 형성되어 있지만, 가스누출 안전성에 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니었다. 또한, 탈거한 밸브에서 가스누출은 발생되지 않았다. 다만, 밸브스템의 영구변형과 오링의 마찰표면 일부에서 손상이 관찰되었다. 따라서, 탈거된 밸브의 가스누출 안전성을 보장하기 위해서 밸브시트와 오링 교체하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있다. 또한, 핸들의 조임력을 주기적으로 점검하는 것이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

This study examines whether engine fuel efficiency is improved by optimization of the exhaust valve timing in a state where the intake valve timing has been optimized in a small turbo gasoline engine that has intake cams and exhaust cams with fixed valve opening periods. When the exhaust valve is opened late, the expansion stroke is longer, and the efficiency can be improved. A 2-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 0.8 liters of displacement and an MPI (Multi Point Injection) fuel system was used. The engine was operated at 1,500 and 3,000 rpm, and the load conditions included a partial load of 50 N·m and a high load of 70 N·m. Data was recorded as the exhaust valve timing was controlled, and this was used to calculate the efficiency of combustion using a heat release, the fuel conversion efficiency, and the pumping loss. Results and the hydrocarbon concentrations in the exhaust gas were compared for each condition. Experiment results confirmed that additional fuel efficiency improvements are possible through exhaust valve timing control at 1,500 rpm and 50 N·m. However, in other operating conditions, fuel efficiency improvements could not be obtained through exhaust valve timing control because cases where the pumping loss and fuel/air mixture slip increased when the exhaust valve timing changed and the fuel efficiency declined.

Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare condition, and with widespread use of cardiac catheterization, angiography and selective coronary arteriography are being recognized with increasing frequency. Fistula originating from the right coronary artery are more common then those from the left coronary artery. The fistula empties into the right side of the heart in 90% of the cases with the right ventricle being the most common recipient chamber followed by the right atrium and the pulmonary artery. Recently we experienced two cases of congenital coronary artery fistula which originated from the left coronary artery each other. The first case was 17 moth-old-male, who have had the symptoms of frequent URI, dyspnea and continuous murmur in physical examination. The fistulous communication was noted between the left circumflex coronary artery and the right ventricle with aneurysmal dilation of RV wall. The proximal opening of the fistulous tract was directly close with partial aneurysmorrhaphy of RV wall. Also the termination site of fistulous tract in RV chamber was closed. The second case was 35-year-old female, who have had the symptom of exertional dyspnea and continuous murmur in physical examination. The tortuous and dilated fistulous tract was noted between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the pulmonary artery. The proximal opening of the fistula was ligated near the left anterior descending coronary artery with preservation of normal continuity of coronary artery. And the dilated tortuous vessel was excised. Also the terminal site in pulmonary artery was directly closed just above the pulmonic valve. Postoperative hospital courses of two patients were uneventful without any specific complications and discharged without problems.

This paper deals with an empirical model for decoupling control to control the refrigeration system effectively. The conventional control schemes of the system are mainly focused on representative two control methods, superheat control and capacity control. The capacity control is basically conducted to respond partial loading conditions on the purpose of energy saving. The superheat control is mainly carried out to maintain maximum coefficient of performance (COP). In the variable speed refrigeration system, the capacity and the superheat are controlled by inverters and electronic expansion valves respectively for saving energy and improving cost performance. The capacity and superheat can not be controlled independently because of interfering loop when the compressor speed and opening angle electronic expansion valve is varied. Therefore, we suggest decoupling model to eliminate the interfering loop at first. Next, each transfer function in decoupling control model is obtained from number of experiments.

The objectives of this paper are to study the effects of thermal and geometric conditions on the performance of indoor heat exchanger with R410A. This study carried out experimental and numerical analysis for indoor heat exchangers. In the experimental study, capacity of the indoor unit was estimated 8.3 kWh with the valve opening rate of 95% for the 50% partial operation condition. The air temperatures were measured using 80 thermocouples. This study also compared experimental data with the calculated data for the outlet temperature and the tube length. It is found that the relative errors between the experiment data and the calculated result are 4.2% and 0.5% for the outlet temperature and the tube length, respectively.
