Herbicidin A is a potent herbicide against dicotyledonous plants as well as an antibiotic against phytopathogens. In this study, fermentation parameters for herbicidin A production in submerged culture of Streptomyces scopuliridis M40 were investigated. The herbicidin A concentration varied with the C/N ratio. High C/N ratios (>4) resulted in a herbicidin A production of more than 900 mg/l, whereas maximally 600 mg/l was obtained at ratios between 1 and 3.5. In 5-L batch fermentation, there was a positive correlation between the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) and herbicidin A production. Once the OUR increased, the substrate consumption rate increased, leading to an increase in volumetric productivity. Mechanical shear force affected the hyphal morphology and OUR. When the medium value of hyphal size ranged from 150 to $180{\mu}m$, high volumetric production of herbicidin A was obtained with OUR values >137mg $O_2/l{\cdot}h$. The highest herbicidin A concentration of 956.6 mg/l was obtained at 500 rpm, and coincided with the highest relative abundance of hyphae of $100-200{\mu}m$ length and the highest OUR during cultivation. Based on a constant impeller tip speed, which affects hyphal morphology, herbicidin A production was successfully scaled up from a 5-L jar to a 500-L pilot vessel.

본 논문은 NACA 익형의 블레이드를 가지는 다리우스 수직축 풍력발전기(VAWT)의 성능특성에 대한 연구이다. 다양한 설계변수를 이용한 다리우스 VAWT 의 최적 형상을 예측하기 위해서 블레이드 근처에서 나타나는 공력특성 및 박리유동, 유동과 블레이드 간의 상호작용, 이로 인해 유도되는 토크 및 출력특성 등을 분석하였다. 블레이드의 최적 형상 설계 및 주변 유동과의 상호작용 특성을 보기 위하여 다양한 인자들 (즉, 코드길이, 로터직경, 피치각, 블레이드의 두께비 및 비틀림각 등)을 고려하였다. 본 연구에서 연구결과로는 TSR 가 낮은 영역에서는 솔리디티가 큰 로터가 높은 출력계수를 가지는 반면, TSR 이 높은 영역에서는 솔리디티가 작은 로터가 높은 출력계수를 가진다. 블레이드의 익형이 안쪽으로 향하는 피치각은 $-2^{\circ}$와 비틀림각이 $0^{\circ}$ 일 때, 다리우스형 VAWT 가 최대 출력을 발생하였다.

The paper presents a numerical approach to study of fluid flow characteristics and to predict performance of wind turbines. The numerical model is based on Finite-volume method (FVM) discretization of unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations. The movement of turbine blades is modeled using moving mesh technique. The turbulence is modeled using commonly used turbulence models: Renormalization Group (RNG) k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ and k-${\omega}$ turbulence models. The model is validated with the experimental data over a large range of tip-speed to wind ratio (TSR) and blade pitch angles. In order to demonstrate the use of numerical method as a tool for designing wind turbines, two dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) simulations are carried out to study the flow through a small scale Darrieus type H-rotor Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). The flows predictions are used to determine the performance of the turbine. The turbine consists of 3-symmetrical NACA0022 blades. A number of simulations are performed for a range of approaching angles and wind speeds. This numerical study highlights the concerns with the self-starting capabilities of the present VAWT turbine. However results also indicate that self-starting capabilities of the turbine can be increased when the mounted angle of attack of the blades is increased. The 2-D simulations using the presented model can successfully be used at preliminary stage of turbine design to compare performance of the turbine for different design and operating parameters, whereas 3-D studies are preferred for the final design.

A time-domain simulation tool to predict the dynamic power output of wind turbines in an offshore wind farm was developed in this study. A wind turbine model consisting of first or second order transfer functions of various wind turbine elements was combined with the Ainslie's eddy viscosity wake model to construct the simulation tool. The wind turbine model also includes an aerodynamic model that is a look up table of power and thrust coefficients with respect to the tip speed ratio and pitch angle of the wind turbine obtained by a commercial multi-body dynamics simulation tool. The wake model includes algorithms of superposition of multiple wakes and propagation based on Taylor's frozen turbulence assumption. Torque and pitch control algorithms were implemented in the simulation tool to perform max-Cp and power regulation control of the wind turbines. The simulation tool calculates wind speeds in the two-dimensional domain of the wind farm at the hub height of the wind turbines and yields power outputs from individual wind turbines. The NREL 5MW reference wind turbine was targeted as a wind turbine to obtain parameters for the simulation. To validate the simulation tool, a Danish offshore wind farm with 80 wind turbines was modelled and used to predict the power from the wind farm. A comparison of the prediction with the measured values available in literature showed that the results from the simulation program were fairly close to the measured results in literature except when the wind turbines are congruent with the wind direction.

Optical Fourier-domain reflectometry (OFDR) sensors have been widely used to measure distances with high resolution and speed in a noncontact state. In the electroplating process of a printed circuit board, it is critically important to monitor the copper-plating thickness, as small deviations can lead to defects, such as an open or short circuit. In this paper we employ a phase-based OFDR sensor for in situ relative distance sensing of a sample with nanometer-scale resolution, during electroplating. We also develop an optical-path difference (OPD)-regulated sensing probe that can maintain a preset distance from the sample. This function can markedly facilitate practical measurements in two aspects: Optimal distance setting for high signal-to-noise ratio OFDR sensing, and protection of a fragile probe tip via vertical evasion movement. In a sample with a centimeter-scale structure, a conventional OFDR sensor will probably either bump into the sample or practically out of the detection range of the sensing probe. To address this limitation, a novel OPD-regulated OFDR system is designed by combining the OFDR sensing probe and linear piezo motors with feedback-loop control. By using multiple OFDR sensors, it is possible to effectively monitor copper-plating thickness in situ and uniformize it at various positions.

최근 지구온난화 문제가 대두되면서 신재생에너지 개발을 위한 여러 기술적인 해결책이 제시되고 있는데, 그 중 산업적으로 크게 주목을 받고 있는 분야가 바로 해양에너지이다. 삼면이 바다로 둘러싸인 우리나라는 부존자원이 풍부하여 조력, 조류, 파력에너지에 대한 실용화 기술이 요구되고 있으며, 특히 빠른 조류흐름을 이용하는 조류발전은 해양환경에 거의 영향을 끼치지 않는 친환경적인 발전 방법이다. 조류발전은 조수간만에 의해 발생되는 해수의 자연적인 수평 유체흐름을 로터 및 발전기를 설치하여 회전운동으로 변환시켜 전력을 생산하는 발전 형태이다. 조류발전은 로터의 방향에 따라 크게 수평축 형태와 수직축 형태로 구별할 수 있으며, 발전량은 로터 단면의 크기와 조류속도에 따라 큰차이가 난다. 따라서 본 연구는 저수심형 100 kW급 수평축 조류발전 터빈의 성능해석을 위하여 상용 ANSYS-CFX를 이용하여 3차원 유동해석및 성능평가를 수행하였고, 유동해석을 통해 회전하는 로터 블레이드 표면 유선, 로터 주변 3차원 유동특성에 대해 고찰을 하였다. 그 결과 토크는 터빈의 날개가 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 TSR 3.77에서 최대토크가 발생하였으며, 그 이후 날개끝 속도비가 증가해도 토크는 감소하였다. 또한, 설계유속에서 0.38의 최대 출력계수를 얻었다.

항공기용 엔진에는 압축기단들 사이에 스트럿을 포함하는 S자형 환형덕트가 존재하기도 한다. 이러한 엔진에서 S자형 덕트를 통과하는 유동은 볼록면과 오목면을 따라 가면서 가속과 감속이 이루어지고, 벽면에서의 경계층 성장으로 인해 유로폐쇄량이 증가한다. 이처럼 S자형 덕트의 영향으로 후방에 존재하는 압축기는 불균일한 축방향 속도분포에 따른 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서, 후방 압축기는 전방에 위치한 S자형 덕트의 영향을 충분히 고려하여 설계하여야 한다. S자형 덕트가 미치는 영향을 고려하여 설계된 원심압축기의 성능을 검증하고, S자형 덕트가 원심압축기 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악해보기 위해 압축기 입구에 S자형 환형덕트를 장착한 경우와 원통형 덕트를 장착한 경우에 대해 각각 성능시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과를 통해 입구에 S자형 덕트가 있는 경우에는 없는 경우보다 압축비 및 효율 등 압축기 성능이 저하되고, 쵸킹유량이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 성능저하의 원인을 분석하기 위해 S자형 덕트를 포함하는 임펠러의 유동해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 성능저하의 원인은, S자형 덕트와 임펠러의 상호작용으로 설계시 예측했던 것보다 인듀서팁에서 상대마하수가 증가하였고, 영각이 감소하였기 때문임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, with the tendency of more lightening, high-strength and high-speed in the marine industries such as marine structures, ships and chemical plants, the use of the aluminium Alloy is rapidly enlarge and there occurs much interest in the study of corrosion fatigue crack characteristics. In this paper, the initiation of surface crack and the propagation characteristics on the base metal and weld zone of 5086-H116 Aluminium Alloy Plate which is one of the Al-Mg serious alloy(A5000serious) used most when building the special vessels, were investigated by the plane bending corrosion fatigue under the environments of marine, air and applying cathodic protection. The effects of various specific resistances on the initiation, propagation behavior of corrosion fatigue crack and corrosion fatigue life in the base metal and heat affected zone were examined and its corrosion sensitivity was quantitatively obtained. The effects of corrosion on the crack depth in relation to the uniform surface crack length were also investigated. Also, the structural, mechanical and electro-chemical characteristics of the metal at the weld zone were inspected to verify the reasons of crack propagation behavior in the corrosion fatigue fracture. In addition, the effect of cathodic protection in the fracture surface of weld zone was examined fractographically by Scanning Electron Microscope(S.E.M.). The main results obtained are as follows; (1) The initial corrosion fatigue crack sensitibity under specific resistance of 25Ω.cm% show 2.22 in the base metal and 19.6 in the HEZ, and the sensitivity decreases as specific resistance increases (2) By removing reinforcement of weldment, the initiation and propagation of corrosion crack in the HAZ are delayed, and corrosion fatigue life increases. (3) As specific resistance decreases, the sensitivity difference of corrosion fatigue life in the base metal and HAZ is more susceptible than that of intial corrosion fatigue crack. (4) Experimental constant, m(Paris' rule) in the marine environment is in the range of about 3.69 to 4.26, and as specific resistance increases, thje magnitude of experimental constant, also increases and the effect by corrosion decreases. (5) Comparing surface crack length with crack depth, the crack depth toward the thickness of specimen in air is more deeply propagated than that in corrosion environment. (6) The propagation particulars of corrosion fatigue crack for HAZ under initial stress intensity factor range of $\Delta$k sub(li) =27.2kgf.mm super(-3/2) and stress ratio of R=0 shows the retardative phenomenon of crack propagation by the plastic deformation at crack tip. (7) Number of stress cycles to corrosion fatigue crack initiation of the base metal and the welding heat affected zone are delayed by the cathodic protection under the natural sea water. The cathodic protection effect for corrosion fatigue crack initiation is eminent when the protection potential is -1100 mV(SCE). (8) When the protection potential E=-1100 mV(SCE), the corrosion fatigue crack propagation of welding heat affected zone is more rapid than that of the case without protection, because of the microfissure caused by welding heat cycle.
