In this study the 4-way spool valve characteristics are clearly defined and clearly defined and proposed new type of spool valve. This paper presents governing equations of the flow through clearances between sleeve and spool as a model of orifice flow for null characteristics analysis and programmed analysis software of it. This software is possible to basically analysis that not only which case of open center closed center or critical center but _ -displacement of spool lab position boundary region and spool opening of the valve and to estimate the pressure variation in the spool and external leak flow variation. We are convinced that the scale of load pressure difference is changed as lab condition of valve and this scale is changed with boundary point on the annular clearance. It is vary useful to designer and user of spool valve with this design data and analysis software.

Water hammer pumps can effectively use the water hammer phenomenon for water pumping. They are capable of providing an effective fluid transport method in regions without a well-developed social infrastructure. The results of experiments examining the effect of the geometric form of water hammer pumps by considering their major dimensions have been reported. However, these conventional studies have not fully evaluated pump performance in terms of pump head and flow rate, common measures of pump performance. The authors have focused on the effects on the pump performance of various geometric form factors in water hammer pumps. The previous study examined how the hydrodynamic characteristics was affected by the inner diameter ratio of the drive and lift pipes and the angle of the drive pipe, basic form factors of water hammer pumps. The previous papers also showed that the behavior of water hammer pump operation could be divided into four characteristic phases. The behavior of temporal changes in valve chamber and air chamber pressures according to the air volume in the air chamber located downstream of the lift valve was also clarified in connection with changes in water hammer pump performance. In addition, the effects on water hammer pump performance of the length of the spring attached to the drain valve and the drain pipe angle, form factors around the drain valve, were examined experimentally. This study focuses on the form of the lift valve, a major component of water hammer pumps, and examines the effects of the size of the lift valve opening area on water hammer pump performance. It also clarifies the behavior of flow in the valve chamber during water hammer pump operation.

Invasive blood pressure (IBP) is measured for the patient's real time arterial pressure (ABP) to monitor the critical abrupt disorders of the cardiovascular system. It can be used for the estimation of cardiac output and the opening and closing time detection of the aortic valve. Although the unexplained inflections on ABP make it difficult to find the mathematical relations with other cardiovascular parameters, the estimations based on ABP for other data have been accepted as useful methods as they had been verified with the statistical results among vast patient data. Previous windkessel models were composed with systemic resistance and vascular compliance and they were successful at explaining the average systolic and diastolic values of ABP simply. Although it is well-known that the blood pressure reflection from peripheral arteries causes complex inflection on ABP, previous models do not contain any elements of the reflections because of the complexity of peripheral arteries' shapes. In this study, to simulate a reflection wave of blood pressure, a new mathematical model was designed with four elements that were the impedance of aorta, the compliance of aortic arch, the peripheral resistance, and the compliance of peripheral arteries. The parameters of the new model were adjusted to have three types of arterial blood pressure waveform that were measured from a patient. It was used to find the relations between the inflections and other cardiovascular parameters such as the opening-closing time of aortic valve and the cardiac output. It showed that the blood pressure reflection can bring wide range errors to the closing time of aortic valve and cardiac output with the conventional estimation based on ABP and that the changes of one-stroke volumes can be easily detected with previous estimation while the changes of heart rate can bring some error caused by unexpected reflections.

The load-sensing hydraulic system which was developed to improve energy efficiency of conventional hydraulic systems has its own properties. The instability of system responses, linearity of a servo valve, robustness for variation of external load, and dynamic interference between hydraulic motors are such properties which have much to do with control properties of the system. The load-sensing hydraulic system has instability tendancy because the load-sensing mechanism makes a positive feedback loop between the motor part and the pump part. A flow property of the servo valve can be said to be linear because the flow through the valve has nothing to do with a load pressure and the flow is strictly proportional to a valve opening which is adjusted by a valve command signal. The resultant control property can be said to be robust because the steady-state control performance is independent to the load actuated on the motor shaft. In the case when one pump simultaneously drives more than two hydraulic motors, the pump outlet pressure is determined by a hydraulic motor of the largest load pressure among all of the hydraulic motors, and, thus, the other motors are dominated by the largest load pressure. That is, the other motors can be said to be interfered by the motor of the largest load pressure.

수두증 환자의 뇌압을 조절하기 위해 사용되는 션트밸브의 압력-유량제어 특성과 설계변수 변화에 따른 특성곡선의 변화를 수치적으로 해석 하였다. 해석에 사용된 션트밸브는 국내에서 설계 제작된 일정 압력형 다이아프램 타입이며 실험을 통하여 해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 션트밸브 내부에 장착된 압력-유량 제어용 소형 다이아프램이 실리콘 일래스토머 계통의 유연한 재질이므로 유동구조 상호해석을 수행하였다 구조해석시의 재료 비선형성을 고려하여 고탄성 재료에 대한 므니 리블린(Mooney-Rivlin) 근사를 적용하였다. 수치해석결과 얻어진 압력-유량제어 특성곡선은 실험결과와 유사하였고 션트밸브를 통한 압력강하의 대부분은 소형 다이아프램에서 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다 본 연구에서 해석된 션트밸브의 압력-유량 특성곡선의 기울기는 7.37mm$H_2O$.hr/cc로서 상용 션트밸브의 기울기 평균값 0.40mm$H_2O$.hr/cc과 비슷하여 일정압력형 션트밸브의 특성을 잘 나타내었다. 오프닝압력의 크기는 밸브 다이아프램의 초기쳐짐량 크기에 의존하였고. 25mm$H_2O$와 80mm$H_2O$의 오프닝압력을 얻기 위해서는 10.2$\mu$m와 35.3$\mu$m의 초기쳐짐량이 필요하였다. 밸브가 열리면서 유동이 발생할 경우, 유동 오리피스 간극이 107m 이내이므로 션트밸브의 성공적인 동작을 위해서는 정밀설계와 제작기술이 요구된다. 본 연구를 통해 다이아프램의 초기쳐짐량과 유동 오리피스를 형성하는 다이아프램 끝단의 라운딩 크기가 압력-유량 특성곡선의 기울기에 영향을 미치는 주요 설계변수임을 확인하였다.

PFA fluoropolymer lined technology revolutionized ball valve development and design decades ago and continues to be pivotal for many products and valve solutions in diverse industries and applications, such as chemical process, semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes, pharmaceutical and others. Because of the extreme operating conditions such as high-temperature (${\sim}120^{\circ}C$) and high-pressure (~10 bar), the reliability of the valve is very important for minimizing in-line leakage and fugitive emissions of strong corrosive chemicals (hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, etc.) transported through the lines. In this study, we investigated the flow characteristics with flow coefficient in a PFA lined ball valve for different opening degrees using CFD analyses. The results should be the guidance for a new PFA lined ball valve design that will incorporate all the acclaimed and demonstrated benefits of the current design approaches.

최근 자동차에 대한 환경규제가 대폭 강화되고 있으며, 배기시스템은 빼놓을 수 없는 연구과제 중 하나이다. 본 연구의 목적은 배기가변밸브의 압력 위치에 따라 최대와 최소에 대한 영향 분포를 규명하는 것이다. 실험은 배기가변밸브가 열리는 측면부에 카메라를 이용하여 실시간 각도를 확인하고 내부유량, 압력, 밸브 열림 각의 데이터를 추출하여 유동해석을 통한 배기가변밸브의 압력과 속도에 대하여 위치별 특성을 분석하였다. 압력의 결과는 밸브의 최초 열림이 머플러 내부에 압력을 감소시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 속도는 압력과 반대되는 결과를 나타내었으며, 하단부의 빠른 속도로 인한 밸브의 떨림 현상이 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 이 연구로부터 얻은 결론은 기관성능 향상을 위해서 속도의 위치가 하단부로 유인할 경우 밸브면의 압력 분포가 더욱 증가하여 최적의 배압조건을 만들 수 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents on the evaluation of numerical analysis model of a ball valve used for a gas pipeline. The ball valve has important role to control the gas flow of the pipeline as well as safety operation to prevent gas explosion at the emergency. For the validation of numerical simulation, the computational domains are introduced three different types: a hexahedron chamber connected to a pipeline outlet without considering the geometry of pressure tubes, a pipeline only considered the geometry of pressure tubes, and a pipeline connected both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes. The commercial code, SC/Tetra, is introduced to solve the three-dimensional steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis in the present study. The valve flow coefficient and valve loss coefficient with respect to the valve opening rate of 30%, 50%, and 70% are compared with experimental results. Throughout the numerical analysis for the three analysis domains, pressure computed along the pipeline is affected by computational domains. It is noted pressure obtained by the computational model considering both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes has a relatively good agreement to the experimental data.
