The six-components force measurements systems for rocket motors are used to measure multi components force generated by TVC(Thrust Vector Control) motors. This paper suggested the modeling scheme which is used in preliminary design and test analysis procedure and which can be applied to the existing other test stand in operation. The model whose parameters are determined by least square method makes the design engineer build the test stand to satisfy all kinds of requirements such as accuracy, operating condition and structural stability without tradeoff among the requirements. The experimental results shows that the proposed model has better accurate performances than those of other existing model.

KSLV-I KM plume including alumina particle has been studied using the continuum solver. Alumina particles are assumed to have 7 different diameters, and the specific ratio of the plume gas is assumed to be 1.2, with which the internal nozzle flow characteristics are similar to those of the chemically equilibrium analysis results. The results showed that the expansion angle of the particles is smaller than that of the gas phase, and that the big sized alumina particles are gathered in the plume core and the expansion angles of the big sized particles are smaller than those of the light particles. When the emissivity of the particles are assumed to be 0.1, the radiative heat flux is equivalent to those measured during the flight test of KSLV-I.

The main source of underwater radiated noise of ships is cavitation generated by propeller blades. After the Cavitation Inception Speed (CIS), noise level at all frequencies increases severely. In determining the CIS, it is based on the results observed with the naked eye during the model test, however accuracy and consistency of CIS values are becoming practical issues. This study was carried out with the aim of developing a technology that can automatically recognize cavitation images using deep learning technique based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Model tests on a three-dimensional hydrofoil were conducted at a cavitation tunnel, and tip vortex cavitation was strictly observed using a high-speed camera to obtain analysis data. The results show that this technique can be used to quantitatively evaluate not only the CIS, but also the amount and rate of cavitation from recorded images.

Cavitation occurs inevitably in marine propellers rotating at high speed in the water, which is a major cause of underwater radiated noise. Cavitation-induced noise from propellers rotating at a specific frequency not only reduces the sonar detection capability, but also exposes the ship's location, and it causes very fatal consequences for the survivability of the navy vessels. Therefore cavity inception speed (CIS) is one of the important factors determining the special performance of the ship. In this study, we present a method using computer vision that can detect and quantitatively estimate tip vortex cavitation on a propeller rotating at high speed. Based on the model test results performed in a large cavitation tunnel, the effectiveness of this method was verified.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of different coating materials on the quality of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) during chilled storage for 10 days. Fresh shrimp were randomly divided into five groups: the control group, the hypotaurine treatment group (2%), the chitosan group (1%), the hypotaurine + chitosan group (2% hypotaurine solution with 1% of chitosan), and the sodium metabisulfite treatment group (1.25%). Compared with other treatments, the lower accumulation of total visible counts (TVC, 5.25 Log₁₀ CFU/g), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N, 22.5 mg/100 g) and thiobarbituric acid values (TBA, 0.58 mg MDA/kg) suggested that coating of chitosan-hypotaurine could retard the microbial activity, protein degradation and lipid oxidation of shrimp. Meanwhile, results demonstrated that the chitosan coating combined with hypotaurine showed an excellent performance in inhibiting quality deterioration (pH 7.5, ∆E 7.0, hardness 393 g, and elasticity 0.69). Furthermore, the melanosis degree of shrimp was alleviated, and the sensory parameters, including appearance, odor and texture, were maintained to the acceptable level by chitosan based hypotaurine treatment during the chilled storage.

A dual-channel automatic ac-dc voltage transfer error measurement system in which the output voltages of two thermal voltage converters which are ac voltage standard are directly measured at the same time to reduce the output voltage drift is described. Forward-reverse measurement method by using a two-channel scanner is used to cancel the offset voltage of the voltmeters. The agreements of the 4-V TVC comparison results between other national standards institute and Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science were less than about ${\pm}2\;ppm$ in the frequency range of $40\;Hz{\sim}100\;kHz$, and were less than about ${\pm}4\;ppm$ at $200\;kHz{\sim}1\;MHz$. Measurement uncertainty is reduced significantly from ${\pm}4\;ppm$ of manual system to ${\pm}3\;ppm$ of new system(up to 100 kHz) typically and great increase in comparison efficiency has been achieved by this system.

Combining power generation and water production by desalination is economically advantageous. Most desalination projects use fossil fuels as an energy source, and thus contribute to increased levels of greenhouse gases. Environmental concerns have spurred researchers to find new sources of energy for desalination plants. The coupling of nuclear power production with desalination is one of the best options to achieve growth with lower environmental impact. In this paper, we will per-form a sensitivity study of coupling nuclear power to various combinations of desalination technology: {1} thermal (MSF [Multi-Stage Flashing], MED [Multi-Effect Distillation], and MED-TVC [Multi-Effect Distillation with Thermal Vapour Compression]); {2} membrane RO [Reverse Osmosis]; and {3} hybrid (MSF-RO [Multi-Stage Flashing & Reverse Osmosis] and MED-RO [Multi-Effect Distillation & Reverse Osmosis]). The Korean designed reactor plant, the APR1400 will be modeled as the energy production facility. The economical evaluation will then be executed using the computer program DEEP (Desalination Economic Evaluation Program) as developed by the IAEA. The program has capabilities to model several types of nuclear and fossil power plants, nuclear and fossil heat sources, and thermal distillation and membrane desalination technologies. The output of DEEP includes levelized water and power costs, breakdowns of cost components, energy consumption, and net saleable power for any selected option. In this study, we will examine the APR1400 coupled with a desalination power plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as a prototypical example. The KSA currently has approximately 20% of the installed worldwide capacity for seawater desalination. Utilities such as power and water are constructed and run by the government. Per state practice, economic evaluation for these utilities do not consider or apply interest or carrying cost. Therefore, in this paper the evaluation results will be based on two scenarios. The first one assumes the water utility is under direct government control and in this case the interest and discount rate will be set to zero. The second scenario will assume that the water utility is controlled by a private enterprise and in this case we will consider different values of interest and discount rates (4%, 8%, & 12%).

In the present paper an attempt has been made to simulate the secondary injection-primary flow interaction in the conical rocket nozzle and to derive the performance of secondary injection thrust vector control(SITVC) system. Complex three-dimensional flowfield induced by the secondary injection is numerically analyzed by solving unsteady three-dimensional Euler equation with Beam and Warming's implicit approximate factorization method. Emphasized in the present study is the effect of secondary injection such as secondary mass flow rates and the momentum of secondary/primary nozzle flow mass rates upon the gross system performance parameters such as thrust ratio, specific impulse ratio and deflection angle. The results obtained in terms of system performance parameters show that lower secondary mass flow rate is advantageous for to reduce secondary specific impulse loss. It is further found that the nozzle with secondary jet injected downstream and interacting with fast primary flow is preferable for efficient and stable SITVC over the wide range of use with the penalty of side specific impulse loss.
