  • The Altitude Engine Test Facility(AETF) was built at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute and has been being operated for the gas turbine engines in the class of 3,000 lbf thrust. To enhance the confidence level of AETF to the international level, a series of studies and facility modification have been conducted to improve the measurement uncertainty and reliability. In this paper, some part of the facility evaluation tests performed with a single spool turbojet engine are introduced. Tests were performed simulating the flight conditions as steady state, sea level for various flight speeds (i.e., Mn=0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9). The obtained test results are compared with the predicted values of the engine DECK. The measurement uncertainties of airflow, net thrust, fuel flow and SFC showed 0.791~0.914%, 0.851~1.706%, 1.372~7.348% and 1.642~5.205%, respectively. Thus, from this research, the improvement methods of uncertainties on AETF has been confirmed.

  • Given a tree network on which each node has its own demand and also stands for a candidate location of a potential facility. such as plant or warehouse, the f-median problem on the network (PMPOT) is to select less than or equal to P number of facility locations so that the whole demand on a node is satisfied from only one facility and the total demand occurred on the network can be satisfied from those facilities with the minimum total cost, where the total cost Is the sum of transportation costs and the fixed costs of establishing facilities. Tamir(1996) developed an O(p n$^2$) algorithm for PMPOT which is known to be the best algorithm In terms of the time complexity, where n is the number of nodes in the network, but he didn't make any comments or explanation about implementation details for finding the optimal solution. In contrast to Tamir's work, Kariv and Hakimi(1979) developed O(p$^2$n$^2$) algorithm for PMPOT and presented O(n$^2$) algorithm for finding the optimal solution in detail. In this paper, we not only develop another O(p n$^2$) dynamic programming algorithm for PMPOT that is competitive to Tamir's algorithm in terms of the time complexity, but also present O(n) algorithm that is more efficient than kariv and Hakimi's algorithm in finding the optimal solution. finally, we implement our algorithm on a set of randomly generated problems and report the computational results.

  • Given a bill of materials (BOM) tree T labeled by the breadth first search (BFS) order from node 0 to node n and a general network ${\Im}=(V,A)$, where V={1,2,...,m} is the set of production facilities and A is the set of arcs representing transportation links between any of two facilities, we assume that each node of T stands for not only a component. but also a production stage which is a possible stocking point and operates under a periodic review base-stock policy, We also assume that the random demand which can be achieved by a suitable service level only occurs at the root node 0 of T and has a normal distribution $N({\mu},{\sigma}^2)$. Then our integrated model of facility location problems and safety stock optimization problem (FLP&SSOP) is to identify both the facility locations at which partitioned subtrees of T are produced and the optimal assignment of safety stocks so that the sum of production cost, inventory holding cost, and transportation cost is minimized while meeting the pre-specified service level for the final product. In this paper, we first formulate (FLP&SSOP) as a nonlinear integer programming model and show that it can be reformulated as a 0-1 linear integer programming model with an exponential number of decision variables. We then show that the linear programming relaxation of the reformulated model has an integrality property which guarantees that it can be optimally solved by a column generation method.

  • Background: Radiation dose rates in PRIDE facility is evaluated quantitatively for assessing radiation safety of workers because of large amounts of depleted uranium being handled in PRIDE facility. Even if direct radiation from depleted uranium is very low and will not expose a worker to significant amounts of external radiation. Materials and Methods: ORIGEN-ARP code was used for calculating the neutron and gamma source term being generated from depleted uranium (DU), and the MCNP5 code was used for calculating the neutron and gamma fluxes and dose rates. Results and Discussion: The neutron and gamma fluxes and dose rates due to DU on spherical surface of 30 cm radius were calculated with the variation of DU mass and density. In this calculation, an imaginary case in which DU density is zero was added to check the self-shielding effect of DU. In this case, the DU sphere was modeled as a point. In case of DU mixed with molten salt of 50-250 g, the neutron and gamma fluxes were calculated respectively. It was found that the molten salt contents in DU had little effect on the neutron and the gamma fluxes. The neutron and the gamma fluxes, under the respective conditions of 1 and 5 kg mass of DU, and 5 and $19.1g{\cdot}cm^{-3}$ density of DU, were calculated with the molten salt (LiCl+KCl) of 50 g fixed, and compared with the source term. As the results, similar tendency was found in neutron and gamma fluxes with the variation of DU mass and density when compared with source spectra, except their magnitudes. Conclusion: In the case of the DU mass over 5 kg, the dose rate was shown to be higher than the environmental dose rate. From these results, it is concluded that if a worker would do an experiment with DU having over 5 kg of mass, the worker should be careful in order not to be exposed to the radiation.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of underground facilities around excavation zone on groundwater flow characteristics during excavation. The scenarios were constructed considering the size of the underground facility, the separation distance, and the hydraulic gradient. As a result, as the size of the underground facility increases, the difference of head and the hydraulic gradient become large. The shorter the separation distance of underground facility is, the more the difference of head and the hydraulic gradient occur. The effect of hydraulic gradient on model area was relatively small. As a result of analysis of groundwater flow rate for the scenario, groundwater flow rate tends to decrease as the size of underground facility increases or groundwater flow rate tends to decrease as the separation distance decreases. It is necessary to examine the effect of underground facilities on the groundwater flow analysis in the ground excavation.

  • Control systems of compressed gas supply facility are responsible for storing and supplying compressed gases required for launch complex qualification test and launch operation. Most of the facilities that make up the launch complex require compressed gas for their operation. Therefore, such control systems should be developed and verified earlier rather than the other systems that constitute the launch complex. Each verification for hardware and software is performed separately. In particular, software verification of control algorithms loaded on the controller takes a lot of time and man power during the development period of the control system. Thus, specific test procedures and methods should be prepared in advance for efficient development. This paper introduces the configuration of a compressed gas supply facility and its control system with the verification procedure and results of major algorithms.

  • Among the dyeing industries, the tenter process is a process that improves the quality of fibers by drying and ironing (heat treatment) dyed fabrics, and drugs such as water repellents, antistatic agents, and fiber softeners are mainly used in these tenter processes. These drugs are vaporized in the process of treatment by high temperatures (180 ~ 230℃), and are observed in a complex form such as white smoke, oil mist, and fine dust, causing odor. To treat the complex exhaust gas at the rear end of the tenter facility, most companies operate by installing a wet scrubber and an adsorption tower alone or in parallel, but there are many problems. In particular, the insoluble oil mist at the rear end of the tenter has significantly low processing efficiency in the cleaning dust collection facility, and there is a problem in the facility by adsorption due to the occlusion phenomenon caused by the oil mist. In addition, the odor gas at the rear end of the tenter contains a lot of aldehydes, and in order to improve these various problems, a complex exhaust purification device using cyclone and electric support collector was developed. This study examined the applicability of economical and efficient technology by removing complex air pollution at the rear end of the tenter and applying improved technology than the existing technology.
