Lower recirculated gas temperature at EGR system reduces NOx and PM emissions. However, EGR Cooler can be polluted by PM generated from recirculated EGR gas, and it reduces cooling efficiency and the amount of EGR gas simultaneously. The SECFR(Steam EGR Cooler Fouling Remover) system which uses the evaporated washer fluid steam caused by high temperature of EGR gas was manufactured for removing fouling generated on the cooler surface. Since an injection pressure of wind shield washer fluid in the vehicle is approximately 0.5 bar, it is not enough to atomize the injected washer fluid. Thus, it is necessary to apply a method to atomize the washer fluid. In this study, the impinging plate was used to promote the atomization of spray washer fluid for the purpose of apply SECFR system to vehicles and measured the DAR(Droplet Area Ratio) and DUI(Droplet Uniformity Index) through the spray visualization.

One of the main factors restricting production of triploid seedless watermelon is poor germination due to weak embryos, thick seed coats, and larger air spaces. This study was carried out to investigate the priming effects of different concentrations of chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), fusicoccin, and gibberellic acid (GA) on germination and seedling uniformity of triploid watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). Three commercial triploid cultivars, Seedless Plus, Sinus, and Sizero, were pretreated with water and different levels of $H_2O_2$ (2 and 4%), fusicoccin (FC: 1, 5, and $10{\mu}M$), and GA (1, 5, and $10{\mu}M$). The present findings helped to find optimal priming conditions for improving germination of triploid watermelon. Treatment with $5{\mu}M$ GA and hydropriming helped to break seed dormancy, enhancing the final germination percentages in all triploid cultivars and increasing the germination index in Sizero. These seed-priming treatments could be used on large scale for industrial applications. Moreover, hydropriming provides a simple, effective, and costless method to improve seed germination and seedling vigor of Sinus and Sizero varieties.

Flow mixing and pressure drop characteristics for marine selective catalytic reduction applications were investigated numerically to develop an efficient static mixer. Two different mixers, line- and swirl-type, were considered. The effect of vane angles on the relative intensity, uniformity index, and pressure drop was investigated in a swirl-type mixer; these parameters are dramatically affected by the mixer geometry. The presence of a mixer, regardless of the mixer type, led to an improvement of approximately 20% in the mixing performance behind the mixer in comparison to not having a mixer. In particular, there was a tradeoff relationship between the uniformity and the pressure drop. Considering the mixing performance and the pressure drop, the swirl-type mixer was more suitable than the line-type mixer in this study.

CFD(computational fluid dynamics) model is developed to simulate direct injection of ammonia gas phase from ammonia transporting materials into the SCR catalyst in the exhaust pipe of the engine with solid SCR. Configurations of one-hole and four-hole nozzle, circumferential type, porous tube type, and the effect of mixer configurations which commonly used in liquid injection of AdBlue are considered for complex geometries. Mal-distribution index related to concentration of ammonia gas, flow uniformity index related to velocity distribution, and pressure drop related to flow resistance are compared for different configurations of complex geometries at the front section of SCR catalyst. These results are used to design the injection system of ammonia gas phase for solid SCR of target vehicle.

Optical characteristics including the view angle and color temperature uniformity of LED packages with an integrated lens fabricated by compression molding method are investigated according to lens shape, lens materials, and phosphor coating methods. Four types of lens shape are designed and their optical output power dependence on the refractive index of silicone encapsulant are evaluated. Also, spatial color temperature uniformities of packages fabricated with different phosphor coating methods-direct coating on a chip vs. uniformly mixed with silicone encapsulant- are compared at various view angles. As the result, it is found that phosphor coating method is more effective on color temperature uniformity than lens shape. The maximum color temperature difference of a package with direct coating of phosphor on a chip is 1,340K according to the view angle at the color temperature of 5,000K, and that of a package with uniformly mixed phosphor is 250K, which indicates 1,090K improvement of color uniformity for the latter case.

Arc welding process has indicated that it suffers from many flaws. It's because requirement of products is diverse and factors which affects the quality is also various. Therefore, in order to stabilize the welding process, it is important to choose a proper welding machine for the each process, and to evaluate the welding process capability of each machine. In this study, rational and simple index to evaluate the welding machine was set the coefficient of resistance variation through the arc stability examination such as spatter generation weight and bead configuration uniformity etc. And the method to evaluate the process capability index was developed by application of 6$\sigma$.

In this research, a numerical study was carried out on the mixing and flow characteristics of a vane-type static mixer for the reduction of $NO_x$ in the SCR systems from the diesel exhaust environments. The mixer was located at a distance of 57 times the pipe diameter away from the inlet. The analyses were performed by changing various parameters such as vane angles, blockage ratio, and location of the vane. Flow characteristics through the mixer were characterized by the uniformity index, swirl number, and pressure drop. The results show that uniformity index, pressure coefficient and swirl number are substantially influenced by the vane angle, blockage ratio and position of the vane of the mixer. In particular, the swirl number was increased when the vane was located near the pipe wall, or the vane angle was increased or scale was extended.

상수관망시스템은 공급원으로부터 수요처까지의 용수공급을 위해 구축된 관수로 기반의 사회기반시설물로서, 주로 생활 및 산업 용수를 공급하므로 대규모 사회 경제적 피해를 방지하기 위해서는 안정적인 용수공급 능력이 요구된다. 네트워크의 다양한 특성에 의해 표현되는 상수관망시스템의 신뢰도(reliability)는 크게 시스템 내 구성요소의 안정성(mechanical reliability)과 용수공급의 기능적 안정성(hydraulic reliability)으로 구분할 수 있다. 특히, 시스템의 용수공급 안정성에 주목한 수리학적 신뢰도 연구는 많은 연구자들에 의해 지속적으로 수행된 바 있으며, 다양한 평가방법 및 지표들이 제시되어 활용 중에 있다. 기존의 수리학적 신뢰도 지표들은 주로 수요절점(demand node)에서의 공급가능 수량 및 수압을 바탕으로 산정되었다. 그러나, 절점(node)에서의 공급 상태는 결과에 해당하며, 원인 분석을 위해서는 관로(pipe)의 배치 및 규격을 분석해야 하는 번거로움이 존재한다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 직접 관로(pipe)의 공급 특성을 분석하여 네트워크의 신뢰도를 평가함으로써, 신뢰도 저하의 원인 분석 및 시스템 개선에 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 신뢰도 지표를 산정하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 상수관로 내 수리학적 기울기가 전반적으로 균등할수록 설계 비용대비 공급 신뢰도, 즉 용수공급 효율이 개선되는 특징을 바탕으로, 네트워크 내 총 에너지 손실로부터 각 관로의 길이, 유량 등의 특성을 고려한 등가 수리경사(Equivalent hydraulic gradient)를 유도하여 모든 관로의 적정 수리경사로 제안하였다. 따라서 각 관로의 실제 수리경사를 대상으로 관로별 수리학적 균등성 지수(pipe hydraulic uniformity index)를 산정하였으며, 더 나아가 전체 시스템의 균등성 지수(system hydraulic uniformity index)를 산정하였다. 제안된 신뢰도 지표는 가상의 네트워크에서 지역 내 용수 사용량이 증가하는 등 용수공급 안정성을 저해하는 몇 가지 시나리오를 바탕으로 검증하였으며, 또한 기존 지표들의 신뢰도 평가 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 본 연구는 향후 네트워크 최적 설계의 목적함수로 활용하거나, 네트워크의 보강계획 수립에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined the mixing efficiency of exhaust gas and urea according to the mixer shape in the SCR system. For the experiment, an SCR simulation system was manufactured, and a uniformity detector was attached to the catalyst location to measure the uniformity. The experiment was conducted by setting the exhaust-gas flow rate, temperature, mixer type, and catalyst distance as variables. The experimental results confirmed the swirl angle analysis, urea number distribution, and uniformity. The swirl angle experiment of Models A and B confirmed that the swirl angle of Model A was formed approximately 7 to 8 degrees higher over the entire RPM range. When there was no mixer in the SCR system, the urea and water were concentrated to one side. Mixer Model A showed an even distribution overall, and Model B showed a slightly concentrated tendency at the beginning but then showed a stable distribution of urea. The mixing efficiency of 90%, which was the uniformity target, could be satisfied in Model A and Model B. In particular, Model A showed excellent results that satisfied 90% efficiency at 10 cm of the catalyst position.
