Biodiesel is a clean energy resource that can replace diesel as fuel, which can be used without any structural changes to the engine. Vegetable oil accounts for 95 percent of the raw materials used to produce biodiesel. Thus, many problems can arise, such as rising prices of food resources and an imbalance between supply and demand. Most of the previous studies using waste cooking oil used waste cooking oil from a single material. However, the waste cooking oil that is actually collected is a mixture of various types of waste cooking oil. Therefore, in this study, biodiesel produced with mixed waste cooking oil was supplied to an agricultural single-cylinder diesel engine to assess its potential as an alternative fuel. Based on the results, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increased compared to diesel, and the axis power decreased to between 70 and 99% compared to the diesel. For emissions, NO_x and CO₂ were increased, but CO and HC were decreased by up to 1 to 7% and 16 to 48%, respectively, compared to diesel. The emission characteristics of the mixed waste cooking oil biodiesel used in this study were shown to be similar to those of conventional vegetable biodiesel, confirming its potential as a fuel for mixed waste cooking oil biodiesel.

In this study, a spark ignition engine operated with LPG and DME blended fuel was studied experimentally. The effect of n-butane and propane on performance and emissions of a SI engine fuelled by LPG/DME blended fuel were examined. Stable engine operation was achieved for a wide range of engine loads with propane containing LPG/DME blended fuel compare to butane containing LPG/DME blended fuel since octane number of propane was much higher than that of butane. Also, engine output operated with propane containing blended fuel was comparable to pure LPG fuel operation. Engine output power was decreased and break specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was increased with the blended fuel since the energy content of DME was much lower than that of LPG. Considering the results of engine output power, bsfc, and exhaust emissions, the propane containing LPG/DME blended fuel could be used as an alternative fuel for LPG.

Smart card system is being used in many countries to improve access to their transportation systems. Especially for subway system that typically see high volumes of passengers at specific times of the days, it's critical to find a ray to collect fares without unnecessarily delaying passengers. The card consists of antenna, modulation and demodulation block, power supply module and memory. The antenna receives the power and data signal from reader. The FRAM is used as the inner memory. And it is a non-volatile memory and complements the problems, that is high consumption and low data processing speed, of using conventional EEPROM in the passive smart cart. In this paper, we analyze and design the RF passive smart card to apply to the fare collection for the subway gate system.

In this study, combustion experiments were conducted at various engine speeds under full-load conditions using a single-cylinder diesel engine by blending butanol, pentanol, and octanol with diesel at a volume ratio of 10%. Experimental results revealed that higher alcohol-diesel blends resulted in lower brake torque and brake power than pure diesel due to the lower calorific value and the cooling effect during evaporation. An evident improvement in the brake thermal efficiency of the blended fuels was observed at engine speeds below 2,000 rpm, with the butanol blend exhibiting the highest thermal efficiency overall. Furthermore, the brake-specific fuel consumption of the higher alcohol-diesel blends was lower than that of pure diesel at speeds below 2,200 rpm. When using blended fuels, the exhaust gas temperature decreased under lean mixture conditions due to heat loss to the air and the cooling effect from fuel evaporation.

선박의 주 추진용 디젤엔진으로부터 배출되는 배기가스의 열을 회수하는 폐열회수 발전시스템에 대하여, 상대적으로 고온에 상부의 3 변 사이클과 상대적으로 저온부에 하부의 유기 랭킨 사이클이 적용되는 복합 사이클에 대한 열역학적 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 상부와 하부 사이클 사이에 경계온도의 증가에 따라, 총 파괴된 엑서지율(${\sum}\dot{E}_d$) 및 엑서지 손실율($\dot{E}_{out2}$)이 각각 감소되었기 때문에, 시스템의 에너지 및 엑서지 효율이 모두 최대화되었다. 그리고 상부의 체적 팽창비가 크게 감소되었다. 그 경우에 대하여, 부가적인 추진동력으로써 활용되는 폐열회수 발전시스템이 적용된 선박용 디젤엔진의 경우에, 추진 효율은 엔진부하 변동에 따라 기본 엔진에 대비하여 평균적으로 9.17 %가 향상되었다. 이에 대하여, 디젤엔진의 연료 소비율과 이산화탄소 배출률은 각각 평균 8.4 및 8.37 %가 저감되었다.

본 논문은 4-Way 캐쉬의 선택된 element만을 사용하여 어플리케이션 수행 사이클을 줄인 향상된 동적 분기 예측기를 제안한다. 제안된 동적 분기 예측기는 분기명령어가 페치되면 MRU 버퍼를 참조하여 4-Way 캐쉬의 선택된 element에서 타깃 주소를 얻으므로, 모든 element에 접근하는 기존의 동적 분기 예측기보다 제한된 전력하에서 BTAC entry 수를 증가시킬 수 있어 분기 예측 성공률과 어플리케이션의 수행속도가 상당히 향상된다. 제안된 동적 분기 예측기의 효율성을 SMDL 시스템에 의해 생성된 코어가 벤치마크 어플리케이션을 수행하여 검증한다. 실험결과 동적 분기 예측기가 없는 코어에 비해 생성된 코어의 어플리케이션 수행 사이클은 평균 10.1% 감소하고 어플리케이션의 전력소모는 7.4% 증가한다. 기존 동적 분기 예측기를 사용하는 코어에 비해 수행 사이클은 평균 4.1% 줄어든다.

NAND flash memory (NFM) based storage devices, e.g. Solid State Drive (SSD), are rapidly replacing conventional storage devices, e.g. Hard Disk Drive (HDD). As NAND flash memory technology advances, its specification has evolved to support denser cells and larger pages and blocks. However, efforts to fully understand their impacts on design objectives such as performance, power, and cost for various applications are often neglected. Our research shows this recent trend can adversely affect the design objectives depending on the characteristics of applications. Past works mostly focused on improving the specific design objectives of NFM based systems via various architectural solutions when the specification of NFM is given. Several other works attempted to model and characterize NFM but did not access the system-level impacts of individual parameters. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first work that considers the specification of NFM as the design parameters of NAND flash storage devices (NFSDs) and analyzes the characteristics of various synthesized and real traces and their interaction with design parameters. Our research shows that optimizing design parameters depends heavily on the characteristics of applications. The main contribution of this research is to understand the effects of low-level specifications of NFM, e.g. cell type, page size, and block size, on system-level metrics such as performance, cost, and power consumption in various applications with different characteristics, e.g. request length, update ratios, read-and-modify ratios. Experimental results show that the optimized page and block size can achieve up to 15 times better performance than the conventional NFM configuration in various applications. The results can be used to optimize the system-level objectives of a system with specific applications, e.g. embedded systems with NFM chips, or predict the future direction of NFM.

In industrial field, a large volume of regenerants (acid and caustic soda) and their washing effluents are regularly disposed off from the water demineralization plant during regeneration of the ion-exchanger units. Of these waste effluents, a part of the wash water discharged from the single bed Anion and Mixed Bed units can be utilized at a certain stage of their washing cycles when its conductivity is fallen down and becomes considerably less than that of the input raw water. The main aim of this specific waste effluent utilization is to dilute the TDS concentration of the input raw water (fed into the single bed ion-exchanger units) by blending. The achievement is the increase of the longevity of the production cycles of the I.E. units along with the improvement of the production quality and decrease of the regeneration frequencies. As a result, regenerant consumption would be saved because of the reduction of ionic load in feed water which will ultimately reduce the water purification cost. At the same time, the environment pollution will also be protected to a considerable extent. This operational measure is quite effective and useful specially where high TDS water is demineralized only by single bed ion-exchangers. In such case, the water treatment plant is very often found to suffer from both production quality and quantity in addition to carrying out of random and restless regenerations. Proper reuses of the aforesaid wash water effluents of the Anion and MB units excellently minimizes the difficulties experienced in practice. This paper contains the utilities and techniques of reuses of the different kinds of waste effluents of the industrial water treatment plant in addition to the specific reuses of the post-regeneration wash waters of the Anion and MB ion-exchanger units.

최근 수년간 전기적 상호 연결 (electrical interconnect, EI) 기반 네트워크-온-칩 (Network-on-Chip, NoC) 에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 가운데, 궁극적으로 금속 배선은 대역폭, 응답 시간(latency), 전력 소모 등에서 물리적 한계에 직면할 것으로 예상된다. 실리콘 포토닉스(silicon photonics) 기술 발전으로 광학적 상호 연결(optical interconnect, OI)을 결합한 하이브리드 광학 네트워크-온-칩(Hybrid Optical NoC, HONoC)이 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위한 유망한 해결책으로 부각되고 있다. 한편 시스템-온-칩(System-on-Chip, SoC)은 높은 에너지 효율을 위하여 이기종 멀티 코어(Heterogeneous multi-core)로 구성되고 있어서 정형화된 토폴로지 기반 NoC 아키텍처의 확장이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 타깃 애플리케이션 트래픽 특성을 고려한 에너지 및 응답 시간 최적화 하이브리드 광학 네트워크-온-칩의 토폴로지 설계 기법을 제안한다. 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 구현하였고, 실험 결과 평균 전력손실은 13.84%, 평균 응답 시간은 28.14% 각각 감소하였다.
