In this study, we compared the performance of two control systems, fuzzy logic control (FLC) and conventional control (CC). The control systems were applied for controlling temperature and substrate moisture content in a solidstate fermentation for the biosynthesis of amylase and protease enzymes by Aspergillus oryzae. The fermentation process was achieved in a 200 L rotating drum bioreactor. Three factors affecting temperature and moisture content in the solid-state fermentation were considered. They were inlet air velocity, speed of the rotating drum bioreactor, and spray water addition. The fuzzy logic control system was designed using four input variables: air velocity, substrate temperature, fermentation time, and rotation speed. The temperature was controlled by two variables, inlet air velocity and rotational speed of bioreactor, while the moisture content was controlled by spray water. Experimental results confirmed that the FLC system could effectively control the temperature and moisture content of substrate better than the CC system, resulting in an increased enzyme production by A. oryzae. Thus, the fuzzy logic control is a promising control system that can be applied for enhanced production of enzymes in solidstate fermentation.

This paper investigates the optimum operating conditions to construct total automatic control system with high energy efficiency of a newly developed seawater ice machine. The machine has an electronic expansion valve(EEV) and a variable speed rotating drum with an evaporator installed inside. The coefficient of performance(COP) was used as an index to evaluate energy efficiency of the machine. At first, the opening angle of EEV was adjusted to obtain COP of the machine at a constant speed of the drum. Then, we checked seawater ice product versus opening angles of the EEV. Finally, effect of drum's rotating speed in response to product of seawater ice and seawater ice temperature were considered.

본 논문에서는 현재 주사바늘을 이용하여 종자를 흡입하고 트레이 상부에서 배기하여 트레이의 셀에 종자를 파종하고 있는 방식의 자동 파종 시스템에 대하여, 작업 능률을 향상시키기 위하여 진공상태의 드럼에 종자를 흡입시켜 회전하면서 트레이에 종자를 배출하게 되는 고속의 시스템을 구현하였다. 트레이를 이송시켜주는 컨베이어 벨트는 상부의 부하의 변화 또는 장치의 마모 등 시간이 지남에 따라 속도가 변할 수 있으므로 속도에 맞추어 드럼의 회전 속도를 자동으로 제어하기 위한 알고리즘을 구현하고 구현된 알고리즘에 따라 드럼을 회전시키기 위한 스테핑 모터의 펄스를 제어하는 회로를 구성하여 시스템을 설계하였다.

The brakes employed on commercial vehicles must be able to withstand three types of demanding services which are use-emergency stops from high speed, many repeated stops as in a delivery or bus route, and speed control in mountain descents. Two type of friction brakes are in use ; drum breaks and disc brakes. Drum brakes are of the internally expanding type in which two shoes fitted externally with friction material are forced outward against the inside of a rotating drum on the wheel unit. In this case, the Braking power is produced by the friction force between a drum and a lining, and is converted into heat. In this research an unsteady state heat transfer analysis for drum brake system of heavy truck has been performed by ABAQUS/standard code in the case of single-braking and the repeated braking condition. The temperature histories obtained by the finite Element analysis have been compared with the result calculated by the simplified formulation and the result obtained by the experiment of real vehicle conditions.

연안 소형 어선의 조업 효율을 향상시키기 위한 연구의 일환으로 소형 유압식 어로윈치시스템을 설계하고, auto tension 기능을 내장시켜 이 시스템의 개루프 상태에 대한 동적 응답 특성을 분석, 고찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구에서 설계, 제작한 소형 윈치시스템은 갑판상 어느 장소에서도 조작이 가능하도록 원격조작방식을 채용하고 있기 때문에 어로 작업시의 인력 감소와 작업의 효율성을 높일수 있다고 생각된다. 2. 솔레노이드 밸브를 ou/off 조작하여 윈치를 구동할 때, 정전 및 역전 구동 조작에 대한 윈치 드럼의 회전 지연시간(dead time)은 각각 0.09 sec, 0.04 sec이었다. 또한 on/off 레버의 조작을 행한 직후 응답 특성은 약간 불안정하였지만, 짧은 경과 시간을 거쳐 안정되는 추종성능을 나타내었다. 3. 윈치를 auto tension mode로서 구동하는 경우, 윈치의 회전축에 55.9 kgf$.$m 이상의 토오크가 작용하면 윈치는 5.1 rpm의 회전속도로서 줄을 풀어내고, 그 이하의 토오크가 작용하면 11.1 rpm의 회전속도로서 줄을 감아들이는 자동 권양 윈치의 기능을 발휘한다. 4. 윈치의 auto tension mode에 대한 과도 응답에서 부하가 급격히 증가할 때와 감소할 때의 정정 시간은 0.12 sec, 0.2sec이었고, 그 때의 회전속도는 각각 11 rpm, 5.3 rpm이었다. 5. 원격제어조작에 따른 윈치의 토오크 및 회전속도에 대한 추종성능은 정전 구동에 있어서는 0.23 sec, 역전 구동의 경우에 있어서는 0.37 sec 이내로서 비교적 안정된 응답 특성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 본 연구에서 설계한 소형 어선용 자동 권양 윈치 시스템은 인력을 절감하고, 부하의 급속한 변화에 대한 추종 성능이 현용 어로시스템에 비하여 매우 우수하기 때문에 해상에서 어로작업시 과부하에 대한 어구의 손상 방지 및 조업 효율의 향상에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Mulching plastic is used for the purpose of maintaining soil temperature, moisture, and weed and pest prevention in agriculture. Any remaining plastic after use may contaminate the soil and damage crop growth. To solve this problem, mulching plastic wrappers have been studied and developed, but the actual use rate is quite low due to their poor performance and frequent tearing of the plastic on the field. In this study, we developed a tractor attachable mulching plastic wrapper to minimize the tearing of the mulched plastic. The developed mulching plastic wrapper consists of hydraulic motors and pumps, valves, a microcontroller, and sensors. The collecting speed of the plastic mulch was calculated considering the tractor's travel speed and the radius of the collecting drum. A proportional controller was designed to control the rotating speed of the hydraulic motor as the plastic was wound around the collection drum and the radius increased. The performance of an indoor experiment was quite promising because the difference between the collecting speed predicted by the calculation and the actual collecting speed was 2.71 rpm. Based on a field verification test, the speed difference was max. 14.28 rpm; thus, the, proportional integral derivative (PID) controller needs to be considered to control the drum speed precisely. Another issue was found when the soil covered at the edge of the plastic was hardened or the road surface was uneven, the speed control was unstable, and the plastic was torn. In future research, vibrational plows will be equipped to break-up the harden soil for collecting the plastic smoothly.

Heat pipe cooled nuclear reactor has been a very attractive technical solution to provide the power for deep space applications. In this paper, a 200 kWe space nuclear reactor power design has been proposed based on the combination of an integrated UN ceramic fuel, a heat pipe cooling system and the Stirling power generators. Neutronics and thermal analysis have been performed on the space nuclear reactor. It was found that the entire reactor core has at least 3.9 $ subcritical even under the worst-case submersion accident superimposed a single safety drum failure, and results from fuel temperature coefficient, neutron spectrum and power distribution analysis also showed that this reactor design satisfies the neutronics requirements. Thermal analysis showed that the power in the core can be successfully removed both in normal operation or under one or more heat pipes failure scenarios.
