In this study, the performance prediction programs for centrifugal pumps are developed. To estimate the losses in the centrifugal pump impellers, a two-zone model and TEIS(two elements in series) model are applied to the program. The basic concept of a two zone model considers the primary zone that is an isentropic core flow and the secondary zone that has a non-isentropic region at the impeller exit. The flow goes through two different zones and is mixed out at the impeller exit and the mixing process occurs with an increase in entropy, a decrease in total pressure. The level of the core flow diffusion in an impeller was calculated using TEIS(two elements in series) model. The effects of various parameters which are used in this program on the prediction of head and efficiency are discussed. The correlation curves used to select the effectiveness of the primitive TEIS model were suggested according to the specific speed of the centrifugal pumps.

지반의 응력이력을 정의하는데 이용되는 선행압밀하중은 일반적으로 일차원 실내압밀실험으로부터 결정되어져 왔으나 피에조콘과 같은 원위치 시험의 관측값을 이용한 이론적인 방법과 경험적인 상관관계를 통한 결정도 가능하다. 최근 선행압밀하중을 결정하기 위한 인공신경망 모델들이 제안된 바 있으며, 기존의 이론적 경험적 선행압밀하중 추정 방법들이 갖는 지역의존성의 문제를 극복하고 예측 정확도 면에서도 크게 개선된 것으로 보고되었다. 그러나 인공신경망 모델은 모델구조와 학습과정에서 초기에 무작위로 부여되는 연결강도에 영향을 받아 예측에 변동성이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 피에조콘 결과를 이용한 선행압밀하중 추정 인공신경망 모델이 연약지반에서 선행압밀하중 예측 시 보이는 변동성을 개선하기 위하여 신경망 모델의 구조 최적화를 수행하고 군집신경망 모델을 구축하였다. 제안된 군집신경망 모델을 이용한 예측결과는 기존의 다층신경망 모델 및 이론적 경험적 모델들과 비교되었다. 연구결과, 최적화된 구조를 갖는 다층신경망 모델일지라도 초기 연결강도에 따라 최종 학습 후 예측결과의 변동성이 여전히 존재하나, 다층신경망을 네트워크로 연결하여 제안된 군집신경망 모델은 기존의 다층신경망 모델들이 갖는 초기 연결강도 의존성을 개선하여 다층신경망 모델에 비해 일관성 있으며 보다 정확한 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

A mathematical model for the prediction of carbon-dioxide absorption rate during the transient state of rotary type absorber is developed. The rotary type absorber operates using a fast rotating porous structure and clean water. The model for the transient state rotary type absorbers is based on the steady state model of packed tower absorber. The paper manipulates the operating data of an arbitrary quasi-steady state condition of rotary type absorber for the determination of the coefficients involved in the model developed. The prediction accuracy is evaluated from the measured data of rotary type absorber operated under fast transient state. The measured data include the mole fraction of carbon dioxide in mixed gas and the pressure of absorber. The relative error in carbon dioxide prediction is estimated to be 20% at maximum. The model is successfully applied for the prediction of the behavior of a closed cycle diesel engine.

Carbon dioxide injection is a widely known method of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). It is critical for the $CO_2$ EOR that the injected $CO_2$ to reach a condition fully miscible with oil. To reach the miscible point, a certain level of pressure is required, which is known as minimum miscibility pressure (MMP). In this study, a MMP prediction method using a process simulator is proposed. To validate the results of the simulation, those are compared to a slim tube experiment and several empirical correlations of previous literatures. Aspen HYSYS is utilized as the process simulator to create a model of $CO_2$/crude oil encounter. The results of the study show that the process simulator model is capable of predicting MMP and comparable to other published methods.

The precise prediction of radiation embrittlement of aged reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) is a prerequisite for the long-term operation of nuclear power plants beyond their original design life. The expiration of the operation licenses for Korean reactors the RPVs of which are made from SA533B-1 plates and welds is imminent. Korean regulatory rules have adopted the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's transition temperature shift (TTS) models to the prediction of the embrittlement of Korean reactor pressure vessels. The applicability of the TTS model to predict the embrittlement of Korean RPVs made of SA533B-1 plates and welds was investigated in this study. It was concluded that the TTS model of 10 CFR 50.61a matched the trends of the radiation embrittlement in the SA533B-1 plates and welds better than did that of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.99 Rev. 2. This is attributed to the fact that the prediction performance of 10 CFR 50.61a was enhanced by considering the difference in radiation embrittlement sensitivity among the different types of RPV materials.

To meet stringent emission regulations of automotive engines, fuel injection control techniques have advanced based on reliable and fast computing prediction models. This study aims to develop a reliable lightweight prediction model of fuel injection rates using a small number of input parameters and based on simple fluid dynamic theories. The prediction model uses the geometry of the injector nozzle, needle motion data, injection conditions and the fuel properties. A commercial diesel injector and US No. 2 diesel were used as the test injector and fuel, respectively. The needle motion data were measured using X-ray phase-contrast imaging technique under various fuel injection pressures and injection pulse durations. The actual injector rate profiles were measured using an injection rate meter for the validation of the model prediction results. In the case of long injection durations with the steady-state operation, the model prediction results showed over 99 % consistency with the measurement results. However, in the case of short injection cases with the transient operation, the prediction model overestimated the injection rate that needs to be further improved.

This paper presents the effect of boundary conditions in various failure pressure models published for the estimation of failure pressure. Furthermore, this approach is extended to the failure prediction with the aid of a failure probability model. The first order Taylor series expansion of the limit state function is used in order to estimate the probability of failure associated with each corrosion defect in buried pipelines for long exposure period with unit of years. A failure probability model based on the von-Mises failure criterion is adapted. The log-normal and standard normal probability functions for varying random variables are adapted. The effects of random variables such as defect depth, pipe diameter, defect length, fluid pressure, corrosion rate, material yield stress, material ultimate tensile strength and pipe thickness on the failure probability of the buried pipelines are systematically investigated for the corrosion pipeline by using an adapted failure probability model and varying failure pressure model.

본 연구에서는 식물의 영양분 흡수에 따른 식물 성장뿐만 아니라 기공 기능 및 광합성에도 영향을 끼치는 온실의 수증기압차(VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficit)예측을 위한 머신러닝 모델들의 성능을 비교해보았다. VPD 예측을 위해 온실 내·외부 환경요소 및 시계열 데이터의 시간적 요소들과의 상관관계를 확인하고 상관관계가 높은 요소들이 VPD에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 확인하였다. 예측 모델의 성능을 분석하기 전 분석 시계열 데이터의 양(1일, 3일, 7일), 간격(20분, 1시간)이 예측 성능에 미치는 영향을 확인하여 데이터의 양과 간격을 조절하였다. 마지막으로 4개의 머신러닝 예측 모델(XGB Regressor, LGBM Regressor, Random Forest Regressor 등)을 적용하여 모델별 예측 성능을 비교했다. 모델의 예측 결과로 20분 간격의 1일의 데이터를 사용했을 때 LGBM에서 MAE는 0.008, RMSE는 0.011의 가장 높은 예측 성능을 보였다. 또한 20분 후 VPD 예측에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 환경적 요인보다는 과거 20분 전의 VPD(VPD_y__71)임을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 활용하여 VPD 예측을 통해 작물의 생산성을 높이고, 온실의 결로, 병 발생 예방 등이 가능하다. 향후 온실의 환경 데이터 예측뿐만 아니라 더 나아가 생산량 예측, 스마트팜 제어 모델 등 다양한 분야에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

A number of atomization and droplet breakup models have been developed and used to predict the diesel spray characteristics. Of the many atomization and droplet breakup models based on the breakup mechanism due to aerodynamic liquid and gas interaction, four models classified as mathematical models, such as TAB, modified TAB, DDB, WB and one of the hybrid model based on WB and TAB models were selected for the assessment of prediction ability of diesel spray dynamics. The assessment of these models by using KIVA-II code was performed by comparing with the experimental data of spray tip penetration and sauter mean diameter(SMD) from the literature. It is found that the prediction of spray tip penetration and SMD by the hybrid model was only influenced by the initial parcel number. All the atomization and droplet breakup models considered here was strongly dependent on the grid resolution. Therefore it is important to check the grid resolution to get an acceptable results in selecting the models. At low injection pressure, modified TAB model could only give the good agreement with experimental data of spray tip penetration and both of modified TAB and DDB models were recommendable for the prediction of SMD. At high injection pressure, hybrid model could only give the good agreement with the experimental data of spray tip penetration and the prediction of all of the selected models did not match the experimental data. Spray tip penetration was increased with the increase the $B_1$ and the increase of $B_1$ did not affected the prediction of SMD.
