본 연구에서는 혼화기의 혼화성능과 압력손실을 개선하기 위해 오리피스의 형상과 개수에 따른 영향을 해석하였다. 물의 정수에서 중요한 과정은 물속의 이물질을 포집하는 응집 과정이고 응집제가 얼마나 물속에 고른 분포를 가지고 물속에 혼화되어 있는 지가 정수에 큰 영향을 미친다. 기계식 혼화방식이 갖는 정수과정에서의 긴 체류시간, 기계 소음, 과다한 에너지의 소비 및 높은 유지관리 비용 등의 단점을 보완하기 위해서 최근에는 응집제가 원수에 주입됨과 동시에 가능한 한 빠르게 수중에 확산시킬 수 있는 장치로서 관내혼화장치의 도입이 증가추세에 있다. 본 연구에서는 관내 혼화기의 혼화성능과 압력손실을 개선하기 위해 오리피스의 유무, 형상과 개수에 따른 약품의 체적분률, 관내 압력손실 등 유동특성과 체적분률이 수치해석에 의해 계산된다. 관내 혼화장치에 장착된 오리피스는 혼화정도를 향상시키나 압력손실이 증가되므로 오리피스의 개수를 제한하여야 한다. 주요 인자에 대한 민감도 분석을 통해 가이드 베인을 장착한 오리피스 1개를 사용하여 약품의 체적분률과 압력손실이 개선된 관내 혼화장치를 제안하였다.

관례의 전력계통에서는 스위칭 컨트롤러, 반도체 전력변환 설비, 사무 자동화 기기, PC 등으로 인하여 중성선에 많은 양의 영상 고조파가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 중성선 영상 고조파 전류를 줄이기 위하여 리액터의 일종인 NHER (Neutral-line Harmonics Eliminating Reactor)를 설계하고 해석하는 연구를 수행하였다. C++프로그램을 활용하여 NHER의 설계프로그램을 개발하였고, 설계프로그램을 확인하기 위해 380/220[V], 200[A]의 모델을 적용하여 설계 및 해석하였다. 최적화 설계 결과 철손이 26[%] 저감되었고, 특히 9 고조파는 다른 고조파에 비하여 크게 감소하였다. NHER을 설계할 때에는 실제 적용되는 부하의 영상고조파나 효율 등을 고려하면 더 좋은 결과가 나올 것이다.

In order to analyze thermal hydraulic phenomena during a DVI (Direct Vessel Injection) line break LOCA (Loss-of-Coolant Accident) in the APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor 1400 MWe), we performed experimental studies with the SNUF (Seoul National University Facility), a reduced-height and reduce-pressure integral test loop with a scaled down APR1400. We performed experiments dealing with eight test cases under varied tests. As a result of the experiment, the primary system pressure, the coolant temperature, and the occurrence time of the downcomer seal clearing were affected significantly by the thermal power in the core and the SI flow rate. The break area played a dominant role in the vent of the steam. For our analytical investigation, we used the MARS code for simulation of the experiments to validate the calculation capability of the code. The results of the analysis showed good and sufficient agreement with the results of the experiment. However, the analysis revealed a weak capability in predicting the bypass flow of the SI water toward the broken DVI line, and it was insufficient to simulate the streamline contraction in the broken side. We, hence, need to improve the MARS code.

This paper presents a 900 MHz zero-IF RF transceiver for IEEE 802.15.4g Smart Utility Networks OFDM systems. The proposed RF transceiver comprises an RF front end, a Tx baseband analog circuit, an Rx baseband analog circuit, and a ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ fractional-N frequency synthesizer. In the RF front end, re-use of a matching network reduces the chip size of the RF transceiver. Since a T/Rx switch is implemented only at the input of the low noise amplifier, the driver amplifier can deliver its output power to an antenna without any signal loss; thus, leading to a low dc power consumption. The proposed current-driven passive mixer in Rx and voltage-mode passive mixer in Tx can mitigate the IQ crosstalk problem, while maintaining 50% duty-cycle in local oscillator clocks. The overall Rx-baseband circuits can provide a voltage gain of 70 dB with a 1 dB gain control step. The proposed RF transceiver is implemented in a $0.18{\mu}$ CMOS technology and consumes 37 mA in Tx mode and 38 mA in Rx mode from a 1.8 V supply voltage. The fabricated chip shows a Tx average power of -2 dBm, a sensitivity level of -103 dBm at 100 Kbps with PER < 1%, an Rx input $P_{1dB}$ of -11 dBm, and an Rx input IP3 of -2.3 dBm.

The deterioration caused by chloride penetration and carbonation plays a significant role in a concrete structure in a marine environment. The chloride corrosion in some marine concrete structures is invisible but can be dangerous in a sudden collapse. Therefore, as a novelty, this research investigates the ability of a non-destructive damage detection method named the Power Spectral Density (PSD) to diagnose damages caused only by chloride ions in concrete structures. Furthermore, the accuracy of this method in estimating the amount of annual damage caused by chloride in various parts and positions exposed to seawater was investigated. For this purpose, the RC Arosa bridge in Spain, which connects the island to the mainland via seawater, was numerically modeled and analyzed. As the first step, each element's bridge position was calculated, along with the chloride corrosion percentage in the reinforcements. The next step predicted the existence, location, and timing of damage to the entire concrete part of the bridge based on the amount of rebar corrosion each year. The PSD method was used to monitor the annual loss of reinforcement cross-section area, changes in dynamic characteristics such as stiffness and mass, and each year of the bridge structure's life using sensitivity equations and the linear least squares algorithm. This study showed that using different approaches to the PSD method based on rebar chloride corrosion and assuming 10% errors in software analysis can help predict the location and almost exact amount of damage zones over time.

이 논문에서는 multiple split ring resonator(MSRRs)와 로딩된 스위치드 제어부를 이용하여 2개의 전송영점을 가지는 대역통과 여파기를 설계하였다. 높은 선택도와 칩 사이즈의 초소형화를 위해 비대칭의 급전 선로를 도입하여 통과 대역 주위에 위치한 전송 영점 쌍을 생성하였다. Cross coupling 또는 source-load coupling 방식을 이용한 기존의 여파기와 비교해보면 이 논문에서 제안된 여파기는 단지 2개의 공진기만으로 전송 영점을 생성하여 높은 선택도를 얻었다. 여파기의 선택도와 민감도(삽입 손실)를 최적화하기 위해 비대칭 급전 선로의 위치에 따른 전송 영점과 삽입손실의 관계를 분석하였다. 통과 대역 주파수의 가변과 30dBm 정도의 고 출력 신호를 처리하기 위해 MSRRs의 최 외각 링에 MIM 커패시터와 stacked-FET으로 구성된 SOI-CMOS 스위치드 제어부가 로딩되어 있다. 스위칭 트랜지스터의 전원을 켜고 끔으로써 통과 대역 주파수를 4GHz로부터 5GHz까지 이동시킬 수 있다. 제안된 칩 여파기는 0.18-${\mu}m$ SOI CMOS 기술을 이용함으로써 높은 Q를 가지는 수동 소자와 stacked-FET의 집적을 가능하게 만들었다. 설계된 여파기는 $4mm{\times}2mm$ ($0.177{\lambda}g{\times}0.088{\lambda}g$)의 초소형화 된 크기를 가진다. 여기서 ${\lambda}g$는 중심 주파수에서의 $50{\Omega}$ 마이크로스트립 선로의 관내 파장을 나타낸다. 측정된 삽입손실(S21)은 5.4GHz, 4.5GHz에서 각 각 5.1dB, 6.9dB를 나타내었다. 설계된 여파기는 중심 주파수로부터 500MHz의 오프셋에서 20dB이상의 대역외 저지 특성을 나타내었다.

In hippocampal morphology Abnormalities, including unilateral or bilateral volume loss, are known to occur in epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and in certain amnestic syndromes. To detect such abnormalities in hippocampal morphology, we present a method that combines region growing and dynamic contour model to detect hippocampus from MRI brain data. The segmentation process is performed two steps. First region growing with a seed point is performed in the region of hippocampus and the initial contour of dynamic contour model is obtained. Second, the initial contour is modified on the basis of criteria that integrate energy with contour smoothness and the image gradient along the contour. As a result, this method improves fairly sensitivity to the choice of the initial seed point, which is often seen by conventional contour model. The power and practicality of this method have been tested on two brain datasets. Thus, we have developed an effective algorithm to extract hippocampus from MRI brain data.

The acoustic characteristics of expansion chamber will be changed with the variation of inlet/outlet location due to the higher order acoustic mode in a high frequency in which the plane wave theory is not available. In this paper, the acoustic performance of reactive type expansion chamber with circular cross-section is analyzed by using the modified mode matching theory. The sensitivity analysis of four-pole parameters with respect to the location of inlet and outlet is also suggested to increase the acoustic performance. The acoustic power transmission coefficient is used as cost function, and the location of inlet and outlet is used as design variables. The steepest descent method and SUMT algorithm are used for optimization technique. Several results showed that the expansion chamber with optimally located inlet/outlet had better acoustic performance than concentric expansion chamber.

This study aims to develop and advance the evaluation technology for assessing PHWR safety. For this purpose, the complete loss of AC power or station blackout (SBO) was selected as a target accident scenario and the analysis model to evaluate the plant responses was envisioned into the MARS-KS input model. The model includes the main features of the primary heat transport system with a simplified model for the horizontal fuel channels, the secondary heat transport system including the shell side of steam generators, feedwater and main steam line, and moderator system. A steady state condition was achieved successfully by running the present model to check out the stable convergence of the key parameters. Subsequently, through the SBO transient analyses two cases with and without the coolant leakage via the PHTS pumps were simulated and the behaviors of the major parameters were compared. The sensitivity analysis on the amount of the coolant leakage by varying its flow area was also performed to investigate the effect on the system responses. It is expected that the results of the present study will contribute to upgrading the evaluation technology of the detailed thermal hydraulic analysis on the SBO transient of the operating PHWRs.

Regarding to the project SUAV (Smart Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute), several engine configurations has been evaluated. However it's not an easy task to collect all the necessary data of each engine for the analysis. Usually, some kind of modeling technique is required in order to determine the unknown data. In the present paper a qualitative method for reverse engineering is proposed, in order to identify some design patterns and relationships between parameters. The method can be used to estimate several parameters that usually are not provided by the manufacturer. The method consists of modeling an existing engine and through a simulation, compare its transient behavior with its operating envelope. In the simulation several parameters such as thermodynamics, performance, safety and mechanics concerning to the definition of operation-envelope, have been discussed qualitatively. With the model, all engine parameters can be estimated with acceptable accuracy, making possible the study of dependencies among different parameters such as power-turbine total inertia, TIT, take-off time and part load, in order to check if the engine transient performance is within the design criteria. For more realistic approach and more detailed design requirements, it will be necessary to enhance the compressor map first, and more realistic estimated values must be taken into account for intake-loss, bleed-air and auxiliary power extraction. The relative importance of these “unknown” parameters must be evaluated using sensitivity analysis in the future evaluation. Moreover, fluid dynamics, thermal analysis and stress analysis necessary for the resulting life assessment of en engine, will not be addressed here but in a future paper. With the methodology presented in the paper was possible to infer the relationships between operation-envelope and engine parameters.
