A genetic algorithm (GA) has been employed to optimize the major design variables of the liquid rocket engine. Pressure of the main combustion chamber, nozzle expansion ratio and O/F ratio have been selected as design variables. The target engine has the open gas generator cycle using the LO2/RP-1 propellant. The gas properties of the combustion chamber have been obtained from CEA2 and the mass has been estimated using reference data. The objective function has been set as multi-objective function with the specific impulse and thrust to weight ratio using the weight method. The result shows about 4% improvement of the specific impulse and 23% increase of the thrust to weight ratio. The Pareto frontier line has been also obtained for various thrust requirements.

The DSME guide plate(GP) has been developed with the target to improve the cavitation and vibration performance when used with discharging cooling water around the outlet of LNG carrier. It was proven that it could as well be applied as a powerful wake control device on its own, even without discharging cooling water. However, it has to be taken into account that it inevitably results in speed loss. This study shows the possibility to design a GP which simultaneously improves both vibration and speed performance. The study intends to outline how to design the preliminary GP configurations from both the vibration and the speed performance points of view. Further, the study offers design guidance for the hull form and the propeller when adapting GP as a wake control device.

We have established a pulsed low-energy large-aIXTture electron beam(LELAEB) generation system with an energy of 2OO[keV], current of 1[A], pulse repetition rate of 200[Hz], and several tens of ${\mu}s$ pulse width. The system is characterized by a cold cathode that is simpler than the hot cathode. Electron beam does not need to be scanned over target objects because of large beam aIXTture of $300[\textrm{cm}^2]$. Electron source is secondary electrons that are generated when the ions from the glow discharge collide on the cathode surface. In this paper, We report about the design and manufacture of LELAEB generation system based on the theoretical analysis in order to study lXlssibility of increasing the efficiency of IELAEB accelerator. We also report on the possibility of large aperture beam current generation and the current density uniformity based on the experiIrental results.esults.

This paper summarizes the characters of virtual reality contents and its design problems, and suggests user centered approach in design methodology of VR contents. Based on case study of former VR contents design project, I developed a new VR contents design process in experience design perspective. This design process was applied on Tangible Space Initiative project of KIST, which showed positive roles of this design process as a dear communication media between project players, and an active generator of user-centered interaction design.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to apply the machine and deep learning methodology on error terms which are continuously auto-generated on the sensors with specific time period and prove the improvement effects of power generator prediction diagnosis system by comparing detection ability. Methods: The SVM(Support Vector Machine) and MLP(Multi Layer Perception) learning procedures were applied for predicting the target values and sequentially producing the error terms for confirming the detection improvement effects of suggested application. For checking the effectiveness of suggested procedures, several detection methodologies such as Cusum and EWMA were used for the comparison. Results: The statistical analysis result shows that without noticing the sequential trivial changes on current diagnosis system, suggested approach based on the error term diagnosis is sensing the changes in the very early stages. Conclusion: Using pattern of error terms as a diagnosis tool for the safety control process with SVM and MLP learning procedure, unusual symptoms could be detected earlier than current prediction system. By combining the suggested error term management methodology with current process seems to be meaningful for sustainable safety condition by early detecting the symptoms.

The Air-breathing engine like Sea-Star I is a second propulsive force generator to fly to the target after the booster generating initial propulsive force is separated. The performance of Sea-Star I engine should be verified because the cruise missile controls direction and altitude during flight, so ground engine test is executed before flight test. This these presents evaluation method of ground engine test to verify performance of Sea-Star I's engine.

In this paper, we are suggested development of dual-mode detector for dual-energy digital radiography. Design of dual-energy radiography module for commercial BIS (Baggage Inspection System) is used in the spectrum of the X-ray generator and detector for dual-mode features and radiological characteristics were analyzed. BIS suggestl on the image detector module being used to target X-ray tube to simulate X-ray spectrum and simulated spectrum to offer through the new radiographic characteristics of the detector modules were investigated. Using X-ray experiments with an increase in the thickness of the copper filter low energy detector (LED) and high-energy detector (HED) as the difference between the output signal increases. HED, especially in the size of the output signal decreases with increasing thickness of the copper filter was found.

The purpose of this study is to develop an entrainment model of the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) U-tube Steam Generator (SG) for Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) analyses. Generally, the temperature of the inside containment vessel at MSLB is decreased by introducing the liquid entrainment effect. This effect makes a profit on the aspect of integrity evaluation for Equipment Environmental Qualification (EEQ) in the containment. However, the target plant, Kori unit 1 does not have the entrainment data. Therefore, this study has been performed. RETRAN-3D and LOFTRAN computer programs are used for the model development. There are several parameters that are used for the initial benchmark, such as Combustion Engineerings (CE) experimental data and the RETRAN-3D model which describes the test leg. A sensitivity study is then performed with this model in which the model parameters are varied until the calculated results provide reasonable agreement with the measured results for the entire test set. Finally, a multiplication factor has been obtained from the 95/95 values of the calculated (best-estimate) quality data relative to the measured quality data. With this new methodology, an additional temperature margin of about 40$^{\circ}C$ can be obtained. So, the new methodology is found to have an explicit advantage to EQ analyses.

Accurate positioning of the throttle valve of a gasoline engine is required to implement various systems such as traction control system(TCS), cruise control system and drive-by-wire system. In this research, position control system has been developed for the throttle actuator system that uses one throttle actuation for small volume and DC servo motor for fast response. In order to drive the DC motor, PWM signal generator and PWM amplifier were built and interfaced to the motor and controller. Also, time delay control(TDC) law has been used as a basic control algorithm. A method of varying the reference model of the TDC according to the size of change in target throttle angle is proposed here. The simulation and experimental results show that both overshoot prevention and fast response are achieved by the TDC technique with this variable reference model.
