The present study investigated two-phase flow distribution, phase separation and pressure drop in multi-microchannel tubes under adiabatic condition. The test section consisted of inlet and outlet headers with the inner diameter of 19.4㎜ and 15 parallel microchannel tubes. Each microchannel tube brazed to the inlet and outlet headers and had 8 rectangular ports with the hydraulic diameter of 1.32㎜. The key experimental parameters were orientation of header (horizontal and vertical), flow direction of refrigerant into the inlet header (in-line, parallel and cross flow) and inlet quality (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3). It was found that the orientation of the header had relatively large effect on the flow distribution and phase separation, while the inlet quality didn't affect much on them. The horizontal header showed the better flow distribution and phase separation characteristics than the vertical one. The parallel flow condition with the horizontal header showed the best performance for the flow distribution and phase separation characteristics under the test conditions. Two-phase pressure drops through the microchannel tubes with the horizontal header were higher than those of the microchennel tubes with the vertical header due to gravitational effect.

A power distribution facility map is drawn on cadastral map. Besides, grid lines are added on the map for sectionalization. For automatic recognition of the map, we first extract recognizing regions. In this paper, we propose an extraction method of recognizing regions by partially extending thinned image. The proposed method is consist of three phases, binarization phase, thinning phase and partial extending phase. The first phase generate a binary image using threshold value which is obtained by histogram analysis. The binary image contains many part of recognizing regions, but not all. The second phase generate thinned image which is generated by appling thinning operator to the binary image. And the third phase extends thinned image from terminal point until satisfying termination condition. The proposed method is tested on several power distribution facility maps, and the results are presented.

A dual-phase structure refers to a material with two different phases of components or crystal structures. In this study, we analyze the stress distributions for harmonic and composite structured materials which are a kind of dual-phase structure materials. The finite element method (FEM) was used to progress compression test to analyze the strain distribution, and rather than constituted of a fully dense material, a dual-phase structure was designed to make a lightweight structure that has different shapes and volumes of vacancy in each case. As a result of each case, the dual-phase structured materials showed different stress distribution patterns and based on this, the cause was identified through the research.

The present study investigated two-phase flow distribution and phase separation of R-22 refrigerant through various types of branch tubes. The key experimental parameters were the orientation of inlet and branch tubes (horizontal and vertical), diameter ratio of branch tube to inlet tube (1 and 0.61), mass flux (200-500 kg/㎡s), and inlet quality (0.1-0.4). The predicted local pressure profile in the tube with junction was compared and generally agreed with the measured data. The local pressure profile within the pressure recovery region after the junction has to be carefully investigated for modeling the pressure drop through the branch. The equal flow distribution case can be found by adjusting the orientation of the inlet and branch tubes and the diameter ratio of the branch tube to the inlet tube. The T-junction with horizontal inlet and branch tubes showed the nearly equal phase distribution ratio. The quality at the branch tube varied from 0 to 1 as the orientation of the branch tube changed, while it varied within${\pm}$50% as the orientation of the inlet tube changed.

In this paper an experimental study was investigated for two-phase flow distribution in compact heat exchanger header. A test section was consisted of the horizontal bottom dividing header($\phi$: 5 mm, L: 80 mm) and 10 upward circular mini channels ($\phi$: 1.5 mm, L: 850 mm) using an acrylic tube. Three different types of tube intrusion depth were tested for the mass flux and inlet mass quality ranges of 50 - 200 kg/$m^2$s and 0.1 - 0.3, respectively. Air and water were used as the test fluids. The distribution of vapor and liquid is obtained by measurement of the total mass flow rate and the calculation of the quality. Two-phase flow pattern was observed, and pressure drop of each channel was measured. By adjusting the intrusion depth of each channel an uniform liquid flow distribution through the each channel was able to solve the mal-distribution problem.

The phase distribution in a multi-phase material strongly affects its material properties. Therefore, a proper method to describe the phase distribution of a material is needed. In this research, probability distribution functions, two-point correlation and lineal-path functions, are used to represent the probabilistic phase distributions of a material. The probability distribution function is calculated using a numerical method and is described as an analytical form via exponential curve fitting with three parameters. Application of analytical form of probability distribution function is investigated using two-phase polycrystalline solids and soil samples. It is confirmed that the probability distribution functions can be represented as an exponential form using curve fitting which helps identifying the applicability of a representative volume element(RVE).

In this paper, we examine the Markov chain $\{X_k,\;N_k;\;k=0,\;1,...$. We show that the marginal steady state distribution of Xk is discrete phase type. The implication of this result is that the queue length distribution of phase type for large number of examples where this Markov chain is applicable and shows a queueing application by matrix geometric methods.

The phase noise spectrum distribution for remote controller using the BPSK mode and low data rate of 50 kbps was designed and proposed in this paper. In case of applying the BPSK that transmission performance is superior to FSK method, the performance degradations due to phase noise are generated. To minimize the phase noise effect, it is important to dispatch the digital signal in channel environment with required phase noise characteristics. To provide the terminal design technique and the proper channel environment with required phase noise characteristics, the phase noise spectrum distribution was designed for required phase noise characteristics. By analyzing the phase noise effects for damping factor and noise bandwidth of the carrier recovery circuit, the phase noise spectrum design that consider the damping factor and noise bandwidth was performed. Based on the IESS-308 standards, also, the phase noise effects was analyzed. The phase noise spectrum design techniques and phase noise spectrum that is suitable to remote controller were proposed.

This paper presents a fault location algorithm using direct 3-phase circuit analysis for distribution power networks. The unbalanced feature of distribution networks due to single phase loads or asymmetric operation prohibits us from using the conventional symmetrical component transformation. Even though the symmetrical component transformation provides us with a very easy tool in three phase network analysis, it is limited to balanced systems in utilizing its strong point, which is not suitable for distribution networks. In this paper, a fault location algorithm using direct 3-phase circuit analysis is developed. The algorithm is derived and it Is shown that the proposed method if we use matrix inverse lemma, is not more difficult then the conventional methods using symmetrical component transformation. Since the symmetrical component transformation is not used in the suggested method, unbalanced networks also can be handled with the same difficulty as balanced networks. The case study results show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The concentration and spatial distribution of vapor phases in DI (Direct Injection) gasoline spray were measured quantitatively by exciplex fluorescence method. Fluorobenzene and DEMA (diethylmethylamine) in a solution of hexane were used as the exciplex-forming dopants. The fluorescence intensity of vapor phase were obtained by ICCD camera with the appropriate filter The relationship between fluorescence intensity and vapor concentration was induced fer the purpose of a quantitative analysis. The 2-D vapor/liquid images of fuel spray were captured under the evaporation condition, and the spatial distribution of vapor concentration was obtained. The spatial distribution of liquid phase had hollow-cone shape. And the vapor phase was widely distributed in the whole spray. The behavior of vapor phase was significantly affected by second flow such as entrainment, vortex, while that of liquid phase was scarcely affected.
