An oxygenator is a very important artificial organ and widely used for patients with lung failure or during open heart surgery. Although an oxygenator has been widely studied worldwide to enhance its efficiency, studies on oxygenators, in particular when using a pulsatile blood flow, are domestically limited. Therefore, a new oxygenator was developed in the lab and animal experimental results are described in the paper. The oxygenator is composed of polycarbonate housing and polypropylene hollow fibers. It has a total length of 400 mm and a surface area of $1.7 m^2$. The animal experiment lasted for 4 hours. The blood flow rate was set to 2 L/min and a pulsatile blood pump, T-PLS (Twin-Pulse Life Support), was used. Samples were drawn at the oxygenator's inlet and outlet. The total hemoglobin (Hb), saturation oxygen ($sO_2$), and partial oxygen pressure ($pO_2$), partial $CO_2$ pressure ($pCO_2$), and plasma bicarbonate ion concentration ($HCO_3^-$) were measured. The oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer rates were also calculated based on the experimental data in order to estimate the oxygenator's gas transfer efficiency. The oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer rates were $16.4{\pm}1.58$ and $165.7{\pm}10.96 mL/min$, respectively. The results showed a higher carbon dioxide transfer rate was achieved with the oxygenator. Also, the mean inlet and outlet blood pressures were 162.79 and 137.92 mmHg, respectively. The oxygenator has a low pressure drop between its inlet and outlet. The aim of own preliminary study was to make a new oxygenator and review its performance when applying a pulsatile blood pump thus, confirming the possibility of a new oxygenator suitable for pulsatile flow.

석션드레인공법은 연직배수재를 통해 연약지반에 직접 진공압을 가하게 되므로 진공압에 의해 배수재 주변의 경화영역이 형성된다. 이러한 경화영역은 지반의 투수성을 저하시켜 간극수 배출 효율이 급격히 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 배수효율을 저하시키는 요인 중 하나인 경화영역을 최소화하기 위해 단계 진공압을 고려하였다. 단계 진공압(-20kPa, -40kPa, -60kPa, -80kPa) 적용 기간이 경화영역과 지반개량 효과에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 부산 해성 점토를 대상으로 단계별로 진공압 적용일자를 달리하여 실내시험을 수행하였다. 강도(CPT) 및 함수비 시험과 이론적 검증을 통해 경화영역의 범위는 약 7.0cm 이내이고, 경화영역 내에서의 투수계수 저하비는 약 2.0~4.0으로 평가되었다. 또한, 일괄적인 진공재하방식보다는 단계재하방식이 최종침하량 측면에서 더 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 단계별 진공압의 적용기간도 대상 점토의 특성을 고려하여 결정되어야 함을 보였다. 수치해석 결과 경화영역을 고려하는 것이 실측값에 유사한 결과를 도출할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 저압환경에서 실시간으로 나노입자를 측정할 수 있는 PBMS(Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer)의 개발에 대해 서술하였다. 개발된 PBMS의 교정을 위해 NaCl입자를 사용하였다. DMA(Differential Mobility Analyzer)를 통해 +1가로 하전된입자를 1 lpm 발생시켜 그 중 0.086 lpm을 PBMS 입구의 오리피스를 통해 분기하여 유입시켰다. DMA와 PBMS의 전류값을 비교하여 전송효율을 측정한 결과 입자의 크기에 따라 약 50$\sim$60%를 나타내었다. 또한 DMA에서 특정한 크기의 입자를 발생시켜 PBMS로 측정하였으며 그 결과는 입자크기별 농도분포와 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다.

이젝터-디퓨져 시스템은 두 유동 사이의 순수전단운동을 통해 저압의 2차유동을 동반하여 고압의 주된 유동을 만들어 낸다. 일반적으로, 이젝터-디퓨져 시스템에서 유동장은 난류 혼합, 압축 효과로 인해 매우 복잡하게 되며, 저효율의 큰 문제점을 가지고 있다. 현재까지 이젝터 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 많은 연구가 수행 되어 왔지만 만족스럽지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이젝터 시스템의 성능향상을 위해 2차유동의 입구에 혼합 안내깃을 설치하였으며, CFD는 이젝터-디퓨져 시스템의 초음속 내부 유동을 모사하여 수행하였다. 얻어진 결과는 기존의 실험결과를 입증하였으며, 본 논문에서 혼합 안내깃 효과를 전압 손실, 유인비 및 압력회복에 대해서 논의되었다.

In this work, direct contact 4-stage fluidized bed heat exchanger is experimentally studied to develop a new type of heat exchanger which recovers the energy contained in the high temperature waste gas exhausted from the industrial furnaces. A sand is used as a heat transfer medium in this experiment. To determine the optimum operating condition, 11 different perforated plates which have a different free area ratio with different hole diameter are used in the experiment. From the room temperature experiment, the pressure drop which is caused by fluidized bed formation is observed. The high temperature experiment is carried out to seek the optimum operating condition of high heat efficiency at low heat exchanger operation cost. The results of experiment are as following. The pressure drop in the high temperature condition can be predicted from the results of the room temperature experiment. And Nusselt number becomes smaller due to the increased interference between sand particles as Reynolds number increases when the dilute phase fluidized beds are formed in nigh temperature condition. But heat transfer amount through the total sand surface area become larger due to the large resident amount of sand. Considering the heat transfer amount and the heat exchanger operation cost, perforated plates which have either a 30% or 35% of free area ratio with 15mm of hole diameter are best fitted for our goal of this work. The values of .phi. which is a dimensionless number representing the absorption heat amount per unit sand rate are in the range from 0.4 to 0.5, when Reynolds number of waste gas ranges from 25-30 with these perforated plates.

The important problems that arise in the design and performance of the axial flow turbine are the prediction and control of secondary flows. Some progresses have been made on understanding flow conditions that occur when the inlet endwall boundary layer separates at the point in the endwall and rolls up into the horseshoe vortex. And the flows though an axial turbine tend to be extremely complex due to its inherent unsteady and viscous phenomena. The passing wakes generated from the trailing edge of the stator make an interaction with the rotor. Unsteady flow should be considered rotor/stator interactions. The main purpose of this research is control of secondary flow and improvement efficiency in turbine by leading edge modification in unsteady state. When the wake from the stator ran into the modified leading edge of the rotor, the leading edge generated the weak pressure fluctuation by complex passage flows. In conclusion, leading edge modification(bulb2) results in the reduced total pressure loss in the flow field.

A Highly efficient Mercury-free Flat Fluorescent Lamp (MFFL) with dielectric barrier Xe gas discharge was developed for an alternative of conventional line-type Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFLs) which shows a wide voltage margin and a stable discharge operation for diffuse glow discharge with an application of a auxiliary electrode. Electro-optic characteristics of the MFFL were examined through the changes in ambient temperature, total pressure and Xe partial pressure. the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a large sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive brightness control using dual auxiliary electrodes and bi-polar drive scheme. In addition, interesting application of this ultra high luminance flat lamp by the optimization of the gas condition and the pattern of the rear phosphor layer is suggested as a good alternative of daylight lamp source

A study off riction welding of high speed steel(SKH 51) bar for blade side to carbon steel(STC 3)bar for shank side was carried out experimentally through tensile test, hardness test, microstructure, and acoustic emission (AE) test. So, this paper deals with optimizing the welding conditions and the real-time quality (strength) evaluation of friction weleded joints by acoustic emission technique. The results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) For friction welded joints of SKH 51to STC 3 steel bars, the total upset (U) increases linearly with an increase of heating time (t sub(1)). (2) The determined optimum welding conditions are heating time (t sub(1)) 7-9 sec, upsetting time (t sub(2)) 5 sec, heating pressure(P sub(1)) 12 kg sub(f)mm supper(2), upsetting pressure (P sub(2)) 15 kg sub(f) mm supper(2) and rotating speed (n) 2, 000 rpm, resulting in a computed relationship between the tensile strength of the joint .sigma. (kg sub(f) mm supper(2)) and the heating time t sub(1) (sec) as the following. sigma.=2.39t sub(1)

An Euler-based CFD tool has been developed for the performance evaluation of a thrust reverser mounted on a high bypass ratio turbofan engine. The computational domain surrounded by the ground and non-reflection boundary includes the whole nacelle configuration with a deployed thrust reverser. The numerical algorithm is based on the modified Godunovs scheme to allow the second order accuracy in both space and time. The grid system is generated by using eleven multi-blocks, of which the total cell number is 148,400. The thrust reverser is modeled as if it locates at the nacelle simply in all circumferential direction. The existence of a fan and an OGV(Outlet Guide Vane) is simulated by adopting the actuator disk concept, in which predetermined radial distributions of stagnation pressure ratio and adiabatic efficiency coefficient are used for the rotor type disk, and stagnation pressure losses and flow outlet angles for the stator type disk. All boundary conditions including the fan and OGV simulation are treated by Riemann solver. The developed solver is applied to a turbofan engine with a bypass ratio of about 5.7 and the diameter of the fan cowl of 83 inch. The computational results show that the Euler-based inviscid method is very useful and economical to evaluate the performance of thrust reversers.
