본 연구는 선박용 해수펌프를 ML 기반으로 한 알고리즘을 구현하여 효율적으로 운용할 수 있는 PCS를 제안한다. PCS가 탑재된 2척의 선박에서 해수온도, RPM, 전력 소모 데이터를 취득하여 회귀 분석법으로 분석하고, 새로운 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시하는 알고리즘을 적용하였을 때 Ship A는 PCS를 적용하지 않았을 때 대비하여 약 36%를 절감하였고, 특정 해역온도인 $19{\sim}27^{\circ}C$와 $32^{\circ}C$ 이상의 해역에서 ML 기반의 알고리즘이 Ship A의 PCS보다 약 1% 더 절감하였다. Ship B는 PCS를 적용하지 않았을 때 대비하여 약 50%를 절감하였고, 특정 해역온도인 $19^{\circ}C$ 이상의 해역에서 Ship B의 PCS보다 약 2%더 절감하였다. 도출된 데이터를 이용하여 최적의 펌프 속도와 항로를 제안할 수 있다. 추가적으로, 취득 데이터의 추세를 활용하여 효율이 낮아졌을 시에 펌프의 성능이나 MGPS의 소제 시기를 유추할 수 있다.

This paper shows numerical results for the estimation of the propulsor efficiency of Pre-Swirl Duct for 176k bulk carrier as well as its design method. Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations have been solved and the k-epsilon model applied for the turbulent closure. The propeller rotating motion is determined using a sliding mesh technique. The design process is divided into each part of Pre-Swirl Duct, duct and Pre-Swirl Stator. The design of duct was performed first because it is located further upstream than Pre-Swirl Stator. The distribution of velocity through the duct was analyzed and applied for the design of Pre-Swirl Stator. The design variables of duct include duct angle, diameter, and chord length. Diameter, chord length, equivalent angle are considered when designing the Pre-Swirl Stator. Furthermore, a variable pitch angle stator is applied for the final model of Pre-Swirl Duct. The largest reduction rate of the delivered power in model scale is 7.6%. Streamlines, axial and tangential velocities under the condition that the Pre-Swirl Duct is installed were reviewed to verify its performance.

Biofouling represents an important problem in the shipping industry since it causes the increase in surface roughness. The most of ships in the current world fleet do not have good coating condition which represents an important problem due to strict rules regarding ship energy efficiency. Therefore, the importance of the control and management of the hull and propeller fouling is highlighted by the International Maritime Organization and the maintenance schedule optimization became valuable energy saving measure. For adequate implementation of this measure, the accurate prediction of the effects of biofouling on the hydrodynamic characteristics is required. Although computational fluid dynamics approach, based on the modified wall function approach, has imposed itself as one of the most promising tools for this prediction, it requires significant computational time. However, during the maintenance schedule optimization, it is important to rapidly predict the effect of biofouling on the ship hydrodynamic performance. In this paper, the effect of biofilm on the ship hydrodynamic performance is studied using the proposed performance prediction method for three merchant ships. The applicability of this method in the assessment of the effect of biofilm on the ship hydrodynamic performance is demonstrated by comparison of the obtained results using the proposed performance prediction method and computational fluid dynamics approach. The comparison has shown that the highest relative deviation is lower than 4.2% for all propulsion characteristics, lower than 1.5% for propeller rotation rate and lower than 5.2% for delivered power. Thus, a practical tool for the estimation of the effect of biofouling with lower fouling severity on the ship hydrodynamic performance is developed.

In the 4th industrial revolution, changes in the technological paradigm have had a direct impact on the maintenance system of ships. The 2-stroke low speed engine system integrates with the core equipment required for propulsive power. The Condition Based Management (CBM) is defined as a technology that predictive maintenance methods in existing calender-based or running time based maintenance systems by monitoring the condition of machinery and diagnosis/prognosis failures. In this study, we have established a framework for CBM technology development on our own, and are engaged in engineering-based failure analysis, data development and management, data feature analysis and pre-processing, and verified the reliability of failure mode DB using LSTM algorithms. We developed various simulated failure mode scenarios for 2-stroke low speed engine and researched to produce data on onshore basis test_beds. The analysis and pre-processing of normal and abnormal status data acquired through failure mode simulation experiment used various Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques to feature extract not only data on the performance and efficiency of 2-stroke low speed engine but also key feature data using multivariate statistical analysis. In addition, by developing an LSTM classification algorithm, we tried to verify the reliability of various failure mode data with time-series characteristics.

In this paper, an electric vehicle drives with efficient control and low cost hardware using four quadrant DC converter with Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC) motor fed by DC boost converter is presented. The main idea of this work is to improve the energy efficiency of the conversion chain of an electric vehicle by inserting a boost converter between the battery and the four quadrant-DC motor chopper assembly. Consequently, this method makes it possible to maintain the amplification gain of the 4 quadrant chopper constant regardless of the battery voltage drop and even in the presence of a fault in the battery. One of the most important control problems is control under heavy uncertainty conditions. The higher order sliding mode control technique is introduced for the adjustment of DC bus voltage and mechanical motor speed. To implement the proposed approach in the automotive field, experimental tests were carried out. The performances obtained show the usefulness of this system for a better energy management of an electric vehicle and an ideal control under different operating conditions and constraints, mostly at nominal operation, in the presence of a load torque, when reversing the direction of rotation of the motor speed and even in case of battery chamber failure. The whole system has been tested experimentally and its performance has been analyzed.

Hybrid rockets have lately attracted attention as a strong candidate of small, low cost, safe and reliable launch vehicles. A significant topic is that the first commercially sponsored space ship, SpaceShipOne vehicle chose a hybrid rocket. The main factors for the choice were safety of operation, system cost, quick turnaround, and thrust termination. In Japan, five universities including Hokkaido University and three private companies organized "Hybrid Rocket Research Group" from 1998 to 2002. Their main purpose was to downsize the cost and scale of rocket experiments. In 2002, UNISEC (University Space Engineering Consortium) and HASTIC (Hokkaido Aerospace Science and Technology Incubation Center) took over the educational and R&D rocket activities respectively and the research group dissolved. In 2008, JAXA/ISAS and eleven universities formed "Hybrid Rocket Research Working Group" as a subcommittee of the Steering Committee for Space Engineering in ISAS. Their goal is to demonstrate technical feasibility of lowcost and high frequency launches of nano/micro satellites into sun-synchronous orbits. Hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants. Usually the fuel is in a solid phase. A serious problem of hybrid rockets is the low regression rate of the solid fuel. In single port hybrids the low regression rate below 1 mm/s causes large L/D exceeding a hundred and small fuel loading ratio falling below 0.3. Multi-port hybrids are a typical solution to solve this problem. However, this solution is not the mainstream in Japan. Another approach is to use high regression rate fuels. For example, a fuel regression rate of 4 mm/s decreases L/D to around 10 and increases the loading ratio to around 0.75. Liquefying fuels such as paraffins are strong candidates for high regression fuels and subject of active research in Japan too. Nakagawa et al. in Tokai University employed EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) to modify viscosity of paraffin based fuels and investigated the effect of viscosity on regression rates. Wada et al. in Akita University employed LTP (Low melting ThermoPlastic) as another candidate of liquefying fuels and demonstrated high regression rates comparable to paraffin fuels. Hori et al. in JAXA/ISAS employed glycidylazide-poly(ethylene glycol) (GAP-PEG) copolymers as high regression rate fuels and modified the combustion characteristics by changing the PEG mixing ratio. Regression rate improvement by changing internal ballistics is another stream of research. The author proposed a new fuel configuration named "CAMUI" in 1998. CAMUI comes from an abbreviation of "cascaded multistage impinging-jet" meaning the distinctive flow field. A CAMUI type fuel grain consists of several cylindrical fuel blocks with two ports in axial direction. The port alignment shifts 90 degrees with each other to make jets out of ports impinge on the upstream end face of the downstream fuel block, resulting in intense heat transfer to the fuel. Yuasa et al. in Tokyo Metropolitan University employed swirling injection method and improved regression rates more than three times higher. However, regression rate distribution along the axis is not uniform due to the decay of the swirl strength. Aso et al. in Kyushu University employed multi-swirl injection to solve this problem. Combinations of swirling injection and paraffin based fuel have been tried and some results show very high regression rates exceeding ten times of conventional one. High fuel regression rates by new fuel, new internal ballistics, or combination of them require faster fuel-oxidizer mixing to maintain combustion efficiency. Nakagawa et al. succeeded to improve combustion efficiency of a paraffin-based fuel from 77% to 96% by a baffle plate. Another effective approach some researchers are trying is to use an aft-chamber to increase residence time. Better understanding of the new flow fields is necessary to reveal basic mechanisms of regression enhancement. Yuasa et al. visualized the combustion field in a swirling injection type motor. Nakagawa et al. observed boundary layer combustion of wax-based fuels. To understand detailed flow structures in swirling flow type hybrids, Sawada et al. (Tohoku Univ.), Teramoto et al. (Univ. of Tokyo), Shimada et al. (ISAS), and Tsuboi et al. (Kyushu Inst. Tech.) are trying to simulate the flow field numerically. Main challenges are turbulent reaction, stiffness due to low Mach number flow, fuel regression model, and other non-steady phenomena. Oshima et al. in Hokkaido University simulated CAMUI type flow fields and discussed correspondence relation between regression distribution of a burning surface and the vortex structure over the surface.

본 논문에서는 철도화물 물류 효율화를 위한 유선 분산제어시스템과 무선 분산제어시스템 구성방안을 제안하고, 유선 분산제어시스템에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 검증조건은 화물차량 50량을 연결하여 부산신항에서 진례역까지 21km를 평균속도 약 100km/h로 왕복 운행하였다. 검증결과는 분산중련에 의하여, 제어차와 피제어차의 견인출력과 제동출력이 분산됨을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 분산제어 적용시 기존 화물수송의 2배이상의 물류효율성향상을 기대할 수 있다. 다만, 유선 분산제어시스템의 경우 케이블 포설 및 유지보수가 어려우며, 화물차량의 편성 변경조성이 불가능한 단점이 있다. 유선 분산제어시스템의 검증을 통하여 국내 화물차량에 분산제어시스템 적용가능성을 확인하고, 이를 발전시켜 무선분산제어시스템 적용하기 위함이다. 무선 분산제어시스템 적용을 위하여, 검증구간에 ISM 대역에 대한 전파환경분석을 수행하였고, 그 결과, 해당 구간에 ISM 대역에 Wifi 기술 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 대상 차량에 신규 설치되는 WDP(Wireless Distributed Power) 장치 적용을 위하여 추진/제동/종합제어장치와의 송수신 제어신호에 대하여 정의하였다. 무선 분산제어시스템의 경우, 적용과 운용의 편의성이 보장되지만, 차량의 제어를 무선에 의존함에 따라 신뢰도와 비상시 안전대책 수립이 선행되어야 한다.

물분사 추진장치(waterjet)는 현재 고속선의 추진기로 폭넓게 사용되고 있으나, 입구면(inlet) 형상에 따른 효율 문제와 제작상의 어려움으로 인해 제작사는 한정되어 있다. 입구면 형상 설계에 있어서 가장 중요한 문제는 효율에 크게 영향을 주는 공동(cavitation) 발생을 최소화하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 포텐셜 유동해석에 의해 공동발생이 최소화되는 최적 형상을 찾기 위해, 평접형(flush type) 이차원 물분사 추진장치의 입추면 형상을 수치계산 모델로 택하여 이차원 단면으로 가정하고, 유동해석을 수행하였다. 형상 파라미터의 변화를 통해 얻어진 다양한 입구면 형상에 대해 수치계산을 수행하여, 공동 발생에 미치는 입구면 형상의 영향을 조사하였고, 이를 바탕으로 최적 형상을 얻을 수 있는 형상해석 기법을 확립하였다. 또한 주어진 입구면 주위의 압력분포를 입력자료로 하여 입구면 형상이 찾아지도록 하는 형상 설계법을 확립하였다. 입구면의 형상 해석 및 형상 설계시 이용한 포텐셜 유동해석은 최근 공동문제 해석에 적용되어 좋은 결과를 주고 있는 포텐셜을 기저로 한 패널법[1,2]을 적용하였다. 형상 해석을 수행하여 얻어진 결과와 Kashiwadani[3,4]의 결과를 비교하여 근사한 결과를 얻은 것으로 본 논문의 형상 해석 기법의 우수성을 알 수 있었다. 형상 해석 결과로 얻어진 압력분포를 입력자료로 하여 입구면의 lip과 ramp에 대한 형상 설계를 수행한 결과 모두 만족스러운 결과를 얻었다.
