The Navier-Stokes equations are solved to study the flow characteristics of a micro viscous pump. The viscous micropump is consisted of a stationary disk with a spiral shaped channel and a rotating disk. A simple geometrical model for the tip clearance is proposed and validated by comparing computed flow rate with corresponding experimental data. Present numerical solutions show satisfactory agreement with the corresponding experimental data. The tip clearance effect is found to become significant as the rotational speed increases. As the pressure load increases, a reversed flow region is seen to form near the stationary disk. The height of the channel is shown to be optimized in terms of the flow rate for a given rotational speed and pressure load. The optimal height of the channel becomes small as the rotational speed decreases or the pressure load increases. The flow rate of the pump is found to be in proportion to the width of channel.

일반적으로 저농도의 염 용액에서 탈염성능이 우수한 축전식 탈염기술에 고농도의 염을 함유한 용액을 처리할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하기 위해 spacer와 spiral 형태의 두 가지 모양의 유로에따라 이온교환수지를 채움으로써 탈염효율을 비교분석하고 기술의 적용가능성을 평가하였다. Spacer와 spiral 형태로 이온교환수지를 채운 축전식 탈염 셀의 탈염효율은 각각 77.21 및 99.94%로, 이는 spiral 형태의 유로에 채워진 이온교환수지가 유입수와 고르게 접촉할 수 있는 유로의 모양을 구성하기 때문에 많은 이온들이 제거될 수 있었다고 판단된다. 또한 pH와 축적 전하량의 변화량에서 탈염성능을 감소시킬 수 있는 페러데이 반응이 현저하게 줄어들었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 에너지효율적인 축전식 탈염 기술을 이용하여 고농도의 염 용액의 탈염에 대한 가능성을 제시해주었고, 이온교환수지의 혼합비율의 최적화와 연속식 전기탈이온 기술의 재생공정의 도입에 대한 추가적인 연구를 통해 이상적인 탈염기술을 개발하는 데 큰 기반이 될 것으로 기대된다.

해수-담수 염도 차 발전을 위한 압력지연삼투(pressure-retarded osmosis: PRO) 시스템의 나권형(spiral wound) 모듈에서 공급채널과 유도채널 사이의 입구 압력차의 영향이 수치적으로 연구되었다. 그리하여 막을 통한 물과 용질-플럭스들의 변화와 전력이 예측되었다. 막을 통한 물-플럭스의 크기는 두 채널 간 입구 압력차가 증가할수록 x축 방향으로 감소하고 y축 방향으로 증가하였다. 반면에 막을 통한 용질-플럭스의 크기는 반대의 경향을 보였다. 공급채널 내 유체의 농도는 y축 방향으로 크게 증가하였고, 유도채널 내 농도는 x축 방향으로 크게 감소하였다. 본 시스템에서 입구 압력차가 1~11 atm일 때 공급채널 내 유량은 8~13% 가량 감소하였고, 유도채널 내 유량은 그만큼 증가하였다. 전력밀도는 입구 압력 차가 증가할수록 증가하다가 감소하였다.

In this study, we are investigated experimentally the pumping characteristics about the pumping channel shapes of disk-type drag pump (DTDP). We are experimented the pumping performance about the rotors which have channel or do not exist. The channel disk-type rotor has spiral channels both upper and lower part, and stator is planar. The planar disk-type rotor hasn't channel and stator has spiral channels both upper and lower part. The flow-meter method is adopted to calculate the pumping speed. Compression ratio and pumping speeds for the nitrogen gas are measured under the inlet pressure range of 0.001 ${\sim}$ 4 Torr. The maximum of compression ratio was about 3300 for three-stage DTDP (channel disk-type rotor), 1000 for four-stage (planar disk-type rotor) and two-stage DTDP (channel disk-type rotor) at zero throughput. The ultimate pressure was $1.6{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for three-stage DTDP (channel disk-type rotor), $2.5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for four-stage DTDP (planar disk-type rotor).

A numerical flow-field analysis is performed to investigate flow configurations in the anode, cathode and cooling channels on the bipolar plates of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Continuous open-faced flow channels are formed on the bipolar plate surface to supply hydrogen, air and water. In this analysis, two types of channel pattern are considered: serpentine and spiral. The averaged pressure distribution and velocity profiles of the hydrogen, air and water channels are calculated by two-dimensional flow-field analysis. The equations for the conservation of mass and momentum in the two-dimensional fluid flow analysis are slightly modified to include the characteristics of the PEMFC. The analysis results indicate that the serpentine flow-fields are locally unstable (because two channels are cross at right angles). The spiral flow-fields has more stable than the serpentine, due to rotational fluid-flow inertia forces. From this study, the spiral channel pattern is suggested for a channel pattern of the bipolar plate of the PEMFC to obtain better performance.

Plastic products are producted more than 70% of total processes by the injection molding. The injection molding process has 4 processes such as filling, packing, cooling and ejecting. It spends most of times in the cooling process. Therefore, it is important to control the mold temperature in producing plastic products. The time and system of cooling affect the product's quality and productivity. Especially, cooling time has about 60% of total injection cycle time. Therefore, we can improve a productivity by shortening cooling time. This study shows comparative study about cooling efficiency of spiral channel and baffle and observed the variation of time to freeze of molding As the result of CAE experiments, cooling rate by spiral channel had faster than baffle and as freeze time was decreased. Results of this study will be used widely to design for cooling system of injection mold.

We have designed X-ray detection system and multi-channel data acquisition system for Spiral CT application. X-ray detection system consists of scintillator and photodiode. Scintillator converts X-ray into visible light. Photodiode converts visible light into electrical signal. The multi-channel data acquisition system consists of analog, digital, master and backplane board. Analog board detects electrical signal and amplifies signal by 140dB. Digital board consists of MUX(Multiplex) which routes multi-channel analog signal to preamplifier, and ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) which converts analog signal into digital signal. Master board supplies the synchronized clock and transmits the digital data to image reconstructor. Backplane provides electrical power, analog output and clock signal. The system converts the projected X-ray signal over the detector array with large gain, samples the data in each channel sequentially, and the sampled data are transmitted to host computer in a given time frame. To meet the timing limitation, this system is very flexible since it is implemented by FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). This system must have a high-speed operation with low noise and high SNR(signal to noise ratio), wide dynamic range to get a high resolution image.

We propose rectangular type spiral coils with folded comers for the applications to low frequency guided wave magnetostrictive transducers and describe a method for making the proposed coils from insulated electrical wire such as enameled copper wire. Expressions for the electrical properties of the coils are also presented and compared with experimental measurements. An overlapped-2-channel folded-comer spiral-coil array is fabricated and applied to a magnetostrictive strip transducer generating and detecting fundamental torsional mode guided waves. From the results we conclude that the design and fabrication method make it possible to use the magnetostrictive transducers optimized for various guided wave applications and also will greatly help engineers gain easy access to the optimized transducers.

In the present study, computations for flow fields inside the CDI unit cells with electrodes and spacers have been made to evaluate their performance. Three types of unit cells that include a planar type, a serpentine channel type, and a spiral wound type were considered and their flow characteristics were compared. From the computational results, it is found that the serpentine channel type has a large flow resistance and can not guarantee the outflow flux for industrial applications. On the other hand, the planar type can sustain a large enough outflow flux but it's efficiency is low for the electrode-use because of the non-uniform velocity distribution inside the cell and dead zones in every corner. Finally, The spiral wound type has not only a large outflow flux as much as the planar type has, but also a high efficiency for the electrode-use because of uniform velocity distribution. From this comparison, we can expect that the spiral wound type of CDI unit cell would have a high performance deionization capability.
