This paper presents an effective modeling and simulation scheme of solar-powered hydrogen production system (PV-SPE: Photovoltaic Solid Polymer Electrolyte). Existing Hydrogen production technologies can produce vast amounts of hydrogen from hydrocarbons but emit large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Advanced hydrogen production methods need development. Renewable technologies such as solar and wind need further development for hydrogen production to be more cost-competitive from other resources. In this paper, authors have focused on a renewable technology to move one step further toward commercial readiness of solar-powered hydrogen production system. Software (PSCAD/EMTDC) based model of PV-SPE system is studied for an effective simulation of hydrogen production system. Using the simulation results, an actual PV-SPE system is implemented to verify the simulation results by comparing them with actual values obtained from the data acquisition system.

We performed a numerical simulation based on the two-dimensional (2-D) unsteady Euler's equation with a single-step Arrhenius reaction model in order to investigate the detonation wave front propagation of an Argon (Ar) diluted oxy-hydrogen mixture ($2H_2+O_2+12Ar$). This simulation operates in the detonation frame of reference. We examine the effect of grid size and the performance impact of integrated quantities such as mass flow. For a given set of baseline conditions, the minimal and maximum grid resolutions required to simulate the respective detonation waves and the detonation cell structures are determined. Tertiary shock wave behavior for various grids and pre-exponential factors are analyzed. We found that particle fluctuation can be weakened by controlling the mass flow going through the oblique shock waves.

적응적 메쉬세분화기법과 분할격자기법을 적용한 2차원 천수방정식모형을 활용하여 구조물을 고려한 극한 홍수 실험을 모의하였다. 본 연구에 사용된모형은 두 격자생성 기법을함께 사용함으로서 복잡한 경계를보다 적은 격자로 효율적으로 표현하는 것이 가능하며, 동적 적응 메쉬세분화기법을 사용하여 흐름이 빠르게 변하는 영역에서 정확도를 유지하면서도 효율적으로 계산하는 것이 가능하다. HLLC 리만근사해법과 MUSCL 기법을 적용하여 시공간상에서 2차정도를 유지하며, 댐붕괴파와 같은 불연속적인 흐름을 정확하게 모의할 수 있다. 모형의 검증을 위해 IMPACT 프로젝트에서 수행한 도시지역 극한홍수실험을 모의하였다. 실험결과와 모의결과가 양호하게 일치하는 것을 확인하였으며, 천이류 현상과 함께 구조물에 의한 홍수파 전달 양상이 의미있는 수준으로 모의된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 분할격자기법의 사용으로 모델의 격자 민감도가 향상되었다. 본 모델은 댐붕괴와 같이 내수침수현상이 지배적이지 않은 도시범람을 모의하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid is one of the field-responsive fluids that is of interest to many researchers due to its high yield stress value, which depends on the magnetic field strength. Similar to electrorheological (ER) fluid, the combination of working modes is one of the techniques to increase the performance of the fluids with limited focus on MR fluids. In this paper, a novel MR testing cell incorporated with valve, shear and squeeze operational modes is designed and constructed in order to investigate the behaviour of MR fluid in combined mode. The magnetic field distribution in the design concept was analyzed using finite element method in order to verify the effective areas of each mode have the acceptable range of flux density. The annular gap of valve and shear were fixed at 1 mm, while the squeeze gap between the parallel circular surfaces was varied up to 20 mm. Three different coil configurations, which were made up from 23 SWG copper wires were set up in the MR cell. The simulation results indicated that the magnetic field distributed in the squeeze gap was the highest among the other gaps with all coils were subjected to a constant applied current of 1 A. Moreover, the magnetic flux densities in all gaps were in a good range of magnitude based on the simulations that validated the proposed design concept. Hence, the 3D model of the MR testing cell was designed using Solidworks for manufacturing processes.

In this study, we developed a dynamic model and steering controller model for an autonomous tractor and evaluated their performance. The traction force was measured using a 6-component load cell, and the rotational speed of the wheels was monitored using proximity sensors installed on the axles. Torque sensors were employed to measure the axle torque. The PI (proportional integral) controller's coefficients were determined using the trial-error method. The coefficient of the P varied in the range of 0.1 - 0.5 and the I coefficient was determined in 3 increments of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1. To validate the simulation model, we conducted RMS (root mean square) comparisons between the measured data of axle torque and the simulation results. The performance of the steering controller model was evaluated by analyzing the damping ratio calculated with the first and second overshoots. The average front and rear axle torque ranged from 3.29 - 3.44 and 6.98 - 7.41 kNm, respectively. The average rotational speed of the wheel ranged from 29.21 - 30.55 rpm at the front, and from 21.46 - 21.63 rpm at the rear. The steering controller model exhibited the most stable control performance when the coefficients of P and I were set at 0.5 and 0.01, respectively. The RMS analysis of the axle torque results indicated that the left and right wheel errors were approximately 1.52% and 2.61% (at front) and 7.45% and 7.28% (at rear), respectively.

An unstructured mathematical model is presented for lactic acid fermentation based on the energy balance. The proposed model reflects the energy metabolic state and then predicts the cell growth, lactic acid production, and glucose consumption rates by relating the above rates with the energy metabolic rate. Fermentation experiments were conducted under various initial lactic acid concentrations of 0, 30, 50, 70, and 90 g/l. Also, a genetic algorithm was used for further optimization of the model parameters and included the operations of coding, initialization, hybridization, mutation, decoding, fitness calculation, selection, and reproduction exerted on individuals (or chromosomes) in a population. The simulation results showed a good fit between the model prediction and the experimental data. The genetic algorithm proved to be useful for model parameter optimization, suggesting wider applications in the field of biological engineering.

The pattern of methylation draws significant attention from cancer researchers because it is believed that DNA methylation and gene expression have a causal relationship. As the interest in the role of methylation patterns in cancer studies (especially drug resistant cancers) increases, many studies have been done investigating the association between gene expression and methylation. However, a model-based approach is still in urgent need. We developed a finite mixture model in the Bayesian framework to find a possible relationship between gene expression and methylation. For inference, we employ Expectation-Maximization(EM) algorithm to deal with latent (unobserved) variable, producing estimates of parameters in the model. Then we validated our model through simulation study and then applied the method to real data: wild type and hydroxytamoxifen(OHT) resistant MCF7 breast cancer cell lines.

Since a typical plate heat exchanger is made up of a huge number of unitary cells, it may be impossible to predict the aero-thermal performance of the full scale heat exchanger through three-dimensional numerical simulation due to the enormous amount of computing resources and time required. In the present study, a simple flow-network model using the friction factor correlation and a thermal-network model based on the effectiveness-number of transfer units (${\varepsilon}$-NTU) method has been developed. The complicated flow pattern inside the cross-corrugated heat exchanger has been modeled into flow and thermal networks. Using this model, the heat transfer between neighboring streams can be considered, and the pressure drop and the heat transfer rate of full-scale heat exchanger matrix are calculated. In the calculation, the aero-thermal performance of each unitary cell of the heat exchanger matrix was evaluated using correlations of the Fanning friction factor f and the Nusselt number Nu, which were calculated by unitary-cell CFD model.

오래 전부터 이동통신 서비스를 위한 통신 프로토콜이나 기능 요소들의 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 분석적 방법, 시뮬레이션 및 평가적 방법이 이용되어 왔다. 이중 시뮬레이션을 통한 평가 방법은 시스템 내부 구성 요소들의 연관 관계가 매우 복잡한 시스템을 테스트하는데 유용하게 사용되고 있으며, 이를 위해서는 이동통신 통화 특성을 반영하는 텔레트래픽 모델을 제시하고 있어야 한다. 텔레트래픽 모델은 일반적으로 트래픽 소스 모델과 네트워크 트랙픽 모델로 구성되어 있으며, 본 네트워크 트래픽 모델을 정의하기 위해 요구되는 실제 기지국 통화량 자료를 수집하고 분석한 결과를 제공하기 위한 것이다. 본 논문에서는 서울시를 상업, 주거, 준공업, 그리고 녹지 지역으로 되어 있는 도시계획 용도지역으로 구분하고, 여기에 설치되어 있는 기지국으로부터 실제 데이터를 시간대별로 수집하였다. 수집된 자료를 이용하여 각 지역별 기지국의 시간대별 통화량 분포와 최대 및 최소 발생 호 수 등을 제시하였다. 분석 결과는 보다 더 정확한 이동통신 네트워크 트래픽 모델을 정의하거나, 기존 이동통신 시뮬레이션 과정에서의 입력 자료로 사용할 수 있다.
