This paper presents a method to predict the storage reliability of springs for turbo engine components based on an accelerated degradation test. The reliability assessment procedure for springs is established to proceed with the accelerated degradation test. The spring constant is selected as the performance degradation characteristic, the temperature is determined to be the stress factor that deteriorates the spring constant. The storage tests are performed at three temperature test conditions. The spring constant is measured periodically to check the degradation status of the springs. Failure times of the springs are predicted by using the degradation model. Finally, the storage lifetime of the springs at normal use conditions is predicted using an accelerated model and failure times of all test conditions.

In this paper, to increase the throughput for wireless communication, FTN methods that is faster than Nyquist rate are used recently. To improve performance, turbo equalization algorithms that iteratively exchange probabilistic information between soft Viterbi equalizer and LDPC decoder to minimize ISI are applied in this paper. In FTN transmission, the performance depends on roll-off value and number of tabs of SRRC(Square Root Raised Cosine) filter. Therefore, Based on simulation, this paper present optimal number of filter coefficient and tab for various ISI factor of ${\tau}$.

Flows in the cavity with pump out vane are calculated using the CFX-Tascflow CFD code. flow calculations are performed for different values of vane height, numbers, leakage flow rate, and rotational speed. The flow is very complex and three dimensional with strong vortex and leakage flow over the vane. The variations of pressure coefficient and K-factor with these parameters and resulting effects on the thrust and torque are studied. The present study contributes to showing the capability of flow simulation of back cavity with pump-out vane. The calculated results are good enough to be used back cavity design.

Turbo Code decoder is an iterate decoding technology, which extracts extrinsic information from the bit to be decoded by calculating both forward and backward metrics, and uses the information to the next decoding step Turbo Code shows excellent performance, approaching Shannon Limit at the view of BER, when the size of Interleaver is big and iterate decoding is run enough. But it has the problems which are increased complexity and delay and difficulty of real-time processing due to Interleaver and iterate decoding. In this paper, it is analyzed that MAP(maximum a posteriori) algorithm which is used as one of Turbo Code decoding, and the factor which determines its performance. MAP algorithm proceeds iterate decoding by determining soft decision value through the environment and transition probability between all adjacent bits and received symbols. Therefore, to improve the performance of MAP algorithm, the trust between adjacent received symbols must be ensured. However, MAP algorithm itself, can not do any action for ensuring so the conclusion is that it is needed more algorithm, so to decrease iterate decoding. Consequently, MAP algorithm and Turbo Code performance are analyzed in the nongaussian channel applying Robust equalization technique in order to input more trusted information into MAP algorithm for the received symbols.

The objectives of this paper are to study the heat transfer characteristics on enhanced surfaces, to develop experimental correlations of friction factor and Nusselt number, and to provide a guideline for optimum operation conditions at low temperature boiling for practical refrigeration applications. The working fluid (water, EG $30\%$) flows inside the enhanced tube and R134a boils on the outer surface. Two different types of Turbo-B tubes (Tube I and Tube II) are tested in the present study. The results show that Tube I gives a higher heat transfer coefficient with higher friction factor than Tube II. The present study provided experimental correlations for friction factor and heat transfer coefficient with error bands of ${\pm}5\%\;and\;{\pm}\;15\%$, respectively.

Physical layer security (PLS) can improve the security of both terrestrial and nonterrestrial wireless communication networks. This study proposes a simplified framework for nonterrestrial cyclic prefixed orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF)-encoded multiple-input and multiple-output nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems to ensure complete network security. Various useful methods are implemented, where both improved sine map and multiple parameter-weighted-type fractional Fourier transform encryption schemes are combined to investigate the effects of hybrid PLS. In addition, OVSF coding with power domain NOMA for multi-user interference reduction and peak-toaverage power ratio (PAPR) reduction is introduced. The performance of $\frac{1}{2}$-rated convolutional, turbo, and repeat and accumulate channel coding with regularized zero-forcing signal detection for forward error correction and improved bit error rate (BER) are also investigated. Simulation results ratify the pertinence of the proposed system in terms of PLS and BER performance improvement with reasonable PAPR.

Underwater communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. The excessive multipath encountered in underwater communication channel creates inter symbol interference, which is a limiting factor to achieve a high data rate and bit error rate performance. Therefore, to increase throughput efficiency and improve performance, this paper consider FTN (Faster-than-Nyquist) signalling based on turbo equalization. FTN signalling is a technique of transmitting information at a rate higher than the allowed Nyquist limit. This paper presented efficient decoder structure of FTN transmission in the environment of multipath underwater channel and we compare the performance between FTN method and conventional punctured method in lake experimentation. As a results of lake experiment, we confirmed FTN method based on turbo equalization is applicable and efficiency in underwater communication.

The small coastal vessel registered in Korea, small coastal vessels with a gross tonnage of 10 tons or less account for 94.6 % and among them, aged vessels over 16 years age indicate 40.6 %. In order to reduce GHG emissions from small coast vessels, discussions are underway to replace aging ships' propulsion units with eco - friendly propulsion facilities, and the electric propulsion ship is emerging as one of the measures. The electric propulsion system using the DFE rectifier, which was applied in the conventional large commercial vessel, was effective in reducing the harmonics and improving the DC output voltage of the DC link stage, but it occupied a large volume and caused an increase in the overall system price. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an electric propulsion system using AFE rectifier with a small volume of system that can be applied to a small coastal vessel. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the overall system, the load profile was applied to obtain accurate and rapid speed tracking performance of the propulsion motor affected by the speed load. In addition, the power factor and total harmonic distortion factor of the voltage and current on the improved power output side are derived through simulation.

Underwater acoustic communications has been limited use for military purposes in the past. However, the fields of underwater applications expend to detection, submarine and communication in recent. The excessive multipath encountered in underwater acoustic communication channel is creating inter symbol interference, which is limiting factor to achieve a high data rate and bit error rate performance. To improve the performance of a received signal in underwater communication, many researchers have been studied for channel coding scheme with excellent performance at low SNR. In this paper, we applied BCJR decoder based ( 2,1,7 ) convolution codes and to compensate for the distorted data induced by the multipath, we applying the turbo equalization method. Through the underwater experiment on the Gyeungcheun lake located in Mungyeng city, we confirmed that turbo equalization structure of BCJR has better performance than hard decision and soft decision of Viterbi decoding. We also confirmed that the error rate of decoder input is less than error rate of $10^{-1}$, all the data is decoded. We achieved sucess rate of 83% through the experiment.
