  • This paper presents the analysis of core losses in capacitor-run single phase induction motors using the finite element methods. The double revolving field theory can be used for the analysis to assess the quantitative and qualitative performance of the single-phase induction motor. But it is difficult to evaluate accurately the core losses. It is more difficult to segregate stator and rotor core losses at no-load and load conditions. Numerical analysis such as FEM can be used effectively for the accurate calculation of core losses and motors performances. In this paper, the coupling method of core loss characteristic equation and FEM are proposed for the accurate calculation of core losses in the stator and rotor. The FFT is also used to calculate fundamental and harmonic components in the yoke and teeth parts of motor.

  • Postharvest handling of sweetpotatoes is inevitable procedure for the maintenance, storage, management and utilization of high fresh quality of storage roots. It ranges in degree from simple lifting of roots, carrying them from field to storage house and immediate consumption after cooking, to sophisticated methods of curing, and storage under controlled conditions followed by processing into a high quality food products. Postharvest saleability, quality and nutritional value of roots and the presence or absence in roots of bitter, toxic furanoterpenoid phytoalexins or mycotoxins depends greatly on the degree and types of treatment to which produce is subjected. Climatic and soil conditions before harvest and contamination or attack by microorganisms or insect pests in the field may initiate or enhance subsequent postharvest deterioration. Careless postharvest handling can lead to both quantitative and qualitative losses which may be extremely high in some circumstances. Research has concentrated on the improvement of preharvest conditions to increase yield and lower decrease rates. However, such efforts are wasted unless they go hand in hand with others designed to reduce the high degree of loss associated with careless postharvest handling.

  • These days leakage incidents of toxic materials cause serious effects on the nearby residents as well as the workers around the accidents accompanying massive material losses and human damages through widening influential areas. The risk measure through adequate quantitative analysis as well as the qualitative analysis of the leakage incidents of toxic materials becomes an urgent issue. The damage of the leakage incident on the surrounding area of the dangerous toxic material facilities was calculated quantitatively by adopting several models in this research. First, the calculations of the leakage velocity from the factories were performed by using source model for the assessment of the influential area, and the damages on the nearly residents were calculated by using the dispersion model and the effort model. The probability of the Incidents was computed based on "The manual for classification and priorization of major incidents" published by IAEA( International Atomic Energy Agency ). Above calculated damage area and incident probability were further adopted in this study to induce the individual and societal risk, quantitatively. The calculated data of the real Incident of the toxic material leakage showed reasonable agreements to the actual damage of the incidents, which showed a validity of this study. The result of this study might be a helpful measure for predicting damages and preparing safety systems for similar kinds of incidents.incidents.

  • This study was intended to search the thermal properties of rice which are necessary in preventing qualitative and quantitative losses in the drying and milling processes. First, the coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of brown rice was measured, which is required for analyzing the internal stress of rice, and then theoretical thermal and moisture stresses were calculated. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of brown rice was about $2.81{\times}10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of $10^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. 2. When the shape of brown rice was assumed to be a sphere or a cylinder, maximum thermal stress due to temperature change of $20^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$ was in the range of $25-100kg/cm^2$. And maximum moisture stress was in the range of $450-650kg/cm^2$ when the drying temperature was $35^{\circ}C$, initial and final moisture contents of brown rice were 20% and 14% (w.b.), and the moisture diffusion coefficient was assumed to be $6.79{\times}10^{-4}cm^2/hr$. 3. Consequently, it was concluded that crack formation in a rice kernel is mainly caused by moisture stress.

  • Debris flow is a composition of solid objects of various sizes, suspension and water, which occurs frequently as the results of landslide following heavy rainfall. This often causes extensive damage in the form of socio-economic losses and casualties as witnessed during the incident around Mt. Umyeon, Seoul in 2011. There have been numerous investigation to mitigate the impacts from debris flow; however, the estimation as preparedness measure has not been successful due to nonlinear and multiphase characteristics of phenomena both in material and process inherent in the debris flow. This study presents a numerical approach to simulate the debris flow using open source code of computational fluid dynamics, OpenFOAM with non-Newtonian viscosity model for three phase material modeling. In order to validate the proposed numerical method, the quantitative evaluations were made by comparisons with experimental results and qualitative analysis for the dispersion characteristics was carried for the case of debris flow in the actual incident from Mt. Umyeon.
