An experimental investigation was performed under steady flow condition to assess hydrodynamic performance of floating-type monoleaflet polymer valves (MLPV) with different leaflet thickness. The St. Jude Medical valve (SJMV) was also used for comparison tests. Pressure drops of MLPVs are larger than those for other types of polymer valves and mechanical valves. Furthermore, the thicker is the leaflet thickness of a polymer valve, the larger arc the corresponding press drop. The velocity profiles for MLPV reveal a large reversed flow region downward to the valve position. The maximum wall shear stresses of MLPVs at a flow rate of 30 l/min are in the range $54-130\;dyn/cm^2$, and the corresponding maximum. Reynolds shear stresses are in the range of $100-500\;dyn/cm^2$, respectively. Both arc beyond the allowable limit clinically. In contrast, floating-type monoleaflet polymer valves show better hydrodynamic performance in leakage volume. From the designing point of view, it can be concluded that the optimum thickness of leaflet for better hydrodynamic performance is one of the important parameters.

The positive displacement pump and the regenerative pump are widely used in the range of low specific speed, $n_s{\leq}100$[rpm, m3/min, m]. The positive displacement pump is not suitable for miniaturization and operation in high rotational speed. The regenerative pump has a problem with large leakage flow and low efficiency. While the centrifugal pump has advantages of high efficiency, miniaturization and high rotational speed, efficiency drops sharply with decrease in specific speed. Therefore the purpose of this study is to design a new type of centrifugal pump that has advantages of centrifugal pumps in operation in low specific speed. The name of this new type of pump was called 'Pipe type centrifugal pump', since the flow path through the impeller is simple circular pipe. Due to the simple shape of impeller, the manufacturing process is simple and cost is low. There is strong jet flow at the outlet of the impeller. This jet induces flow path loss, meridional dynamic pressure loss and mixing loss. Large disk friction makes the efficiency be limitted in the range of low specific speed. Even though the loss and the low efficiency, 'Pipe type centrifugal pump' represents stable performance, affordable pressure ratio and efficiency better than that of other low specific speed pumps.

본 연구를 통하여 저온 반도체 공정용 정전퍽(ESC)을 테이프캐스팅 공정에 의하여 스테인레스스틸에 소다붕규산염유리가 도포된 형태로 제작할 수 있음을 입증하였다. 스테인레스스틸 기판위의 유리 도포층은 125 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 두께로 제작되었다. 유리 도포층의 접합력은 매우 우수하여 $300^{\circ}C$이상의 온도변화에서도 균열이나 층간갈라짐 현상이 발생하지 않았다. 정전 고착압력은 전반적으로 이론적 관계인 전압의 제곱에 비례하는 경향을 보였으나, 고온과 고인가전압에서는 이 관계에서 벗어나는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 이탈현상은 고온과 고인가전압에서 전기비저항의 감소에 따른 누설전류의 증가에 기인한다.

여름철이 무더운 대한민국에서는 냉방에 많은 전력을 소비한다. 이 경우 간접증발냉각을 동시에 적용하면 전기 사용을 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 물 퍼짐성을 개선한 플라스틱/종이 재질의 간접 및 재생증발소자에 대해 일련의 실험을 수행하였다. ${\epsilon}-NTU$ 방식의 열 및 물질전달 해석 모델과 비교한 결과 모델의 예측치는 간접 및 재생증발소자의 간접증발효율, 냉각열량, 압력손실을 적절히 예측하였다. 모델 해석 결과 간접 및 재생증발소자 모두 건채널 입구온도와 상대습도가 증가하면 간접증발효율이 증가하였다. 또한 재생증발소자의 간접증발효율이 간접증발소자의 값보다 크게 나타났다.

The local heat transfer and total pressure drops of developed turbulent flows in the ribbed rectangular convergent/divergent channels with ${\Lambda}/V-shaped$ ribs have been investigated experimentally. The channels have the exit hydraulic diameter ($D_{ho}$) to inlet hydraulic diameter ($D_{hi}$) ratios of 0.67 for convergence and 1.49 for divergence, respectively. The ${\Lambda}/V-shaped$ ribs with three different flow attack angles of $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $60^{\circ}$ are manufactured with a fixed rib height (e) of 10 mm and the ratio of rib spacing (S) to height (e) of 10 on the walls. Thermal performances of the ribbed rectangular convergent/divergent channels are compared with the smooth straight tube under identical pumping power. The results show that the flow attack angle of $45^{\circ}$ with ${\Lambda}-shaped$ rib has the greatest thermal performance at all the Reynolds numbers studied in the convergent channel; whereas, the flow attack angle of $60^{\circ}$ with V-shaped rib has the greatest thermal performance over Reynolds number of 30,000 in the divergent channel.

This study was designed to compare the effects of continuous release of an anti-glaucoma drug applied by an osmotic pump and by conventional eye drop instillation in normal beagle dogs, by measuring drug concentration in the blood and monitoring intra-ocular pressure (IOP). In group 1, an osmotic pump filled with Trusopt® was implanted subcutaneously over the right eye of each dog and the IOP was measured. In group 2, the right eye of each dog was administered with 2% dorzolamide (Trusopt®, Merck, USA) three times per day. Blood was sampled once per week in all groups. The IOP of the end of this study was 16.7 ± 0.58 mmHg in group 2 and 17.7 ± 2.52 mmHg in group 2. Dorzolamide concentration in blood increased continuously over 4 weeks up to 585.8 ± 79.42 ㎍/L in group 1, and 747.3 ± 27.89 ㎍/L in group 2. We achieved satisfactory results in the osmotic pump group, which had a similar effect on IOP, and low fluctuations in IOP. Therefore, the results of this study should allow osmotic pumps to be consider as an alternative method to eye drops for the effective, safe, and convenient treatment of glaucoma.

Numerous experiments with a scaled pilot facility were carried out to compare the relative bulk transfer performance of three special devices for applications to drilling systems. The pipe diameter for bulk transportation was 3 in., which corresponds to around half of the actual system dimensions. Two different pressures, 3 and 4 bar, were considered to check the relative performance under different pressure conditions at a bulk storage tank. And to make a practical estimation method of the bulk transfer rate at the early design stages of the bulk handling system, a series of experiments were conducted for real scaled bulk handing systems of two drilling vessels. The pressure drops at each pipe element as well as the bulk transfer rates were measured under different operating conditions. Using the measured results, the friction factor for each pipe element was calculated and a procedure for transfer rate estimation was developed. Compared to the measured transfer rate results for other drilling vessels, the estimated transfer rates were within a maximum 15% error bound.

The vertically inverted U-tube steam generator (UTSG) is widely used in the pressurized water reactor (PWR). The reverse flow behavior generally exists in some U-tubes of a steam generator (SG) under both single- and two-phase natural circulations (NCs). The behavior increases the flow resistance in the primary loop and reduces the heat transfer in the SG. As a consequence, the NC ability as well as the inherent safety of nuclear reactors is faced with severe challenges. The theoretical models for calculating single- and two-phase flow pressure drops in U-tubes are developed and validated in this paper. The two-phase reverse flow characteristics in two types of SGs are investigated base on the theoretical models, and the effects of the U-tube height, bending radius, inlet steam quality and primary side pressure on the behavior are analyzed. The conclusions may provide some promising references for SG optimization to reduce the disadvantageous behavior. It is also of significance to improve the NC ability and ensure the PWR safety during some accidents.

An investigation is conducted to study a solid-liquid mixture vertically upward hydraulic transport of solid particles by non-Newtonian fluids in the Mud system. Rheology of particulate suspensions in viscoelastic fluids is of importance in many applications such as particle removal from surfaces, transport of proppants in fractured reservoir and cleaning of drilling holes, etc. In this study a clear acrylic pipe was used in order to observe the movement of solid particles. Annular velocities varied from 0.4 m/s to 1.2 m/s. The mud systems which were utilized included aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions. Main parameters considered in the study were inner-pipe rotary speed, fluid flow regime and particle injection rate. Solid volumetric concentration and pressure drops were measured for the various parameters such as inclination angle, flow rate, and rotational speed of inner cylinder.

본 연구에서는 욕창 예방과 치유를 위해 개발된 의료용 로봇 침대의 제어기 구조와 제어 알고리즘에 대해 기술한다. 상용의 기존 욕창 예방 매트리스는 수동으로 동작하고 잔존 최대 체압이 욕창 발생 임계 체압을 넘어서기 때문에 이론적으로는 항상 욕창이 발생할 여지가 있지만, 본 연구에 개발된 시스템은 능동형 전기구동 건반을 사용하여 침대의 건반이 하강하면 체압이 0으로 떨어져서 욕창이 발생하지 않는다. 또한, 침대의 건반이 상승하여 욕창 임계 체압 이상이더라도 지속시간을 욕창 발생 임계시간 이내로 하도록 기구와 제어 알고리즘이 설계되어 있어서 욕창 발생 자체가 일어나지 않으며, 이는 바로 상용화가 가능한 욕창 예방 로봇 침대임을 뜻한다. 침대 건반의 모터는 의료용으로 적합한 BLDC 서보 드라이버를 설계한 모터로 되어있고 전장이 단순하여 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 설계되었으며, CAN(Car Area Network)방식으로 서로 통신한다. 제작된 시스템은 욕창 예방에 효과적인 새로운 의료용 로봇 침대로 욕창으로 고통받는 많은 환자들에게 제공될 수 있도록 보급할 예정이다.
