A herbicide applicator attached to a rice transplanter was developed to perform herbicide application and transplanting simultaneously. The prototype machine was composed of herbicide tank, discharge device, spinner, scattering plate and power drive. The application rate of the machine could be adjusted from 10 to 30 kg/㏊ and the application swath was 1.8m. According to the field test, application uniformity showed the range of 13.6~43.9％ in terms of CV(coefficient of variation) depending on the spinner speed, application height and shape of diffuser. The best uniformity could be achieved with the spinner speed of 30.8m/s and application height of 20cm. Field efficiency of the prototype was 4.7hr/㏊. Transplanting machine has field efficiency of 4.6hr/㏊ in Korea. By attaching the herbicide applicator, field efficiency became lowed only by 0.1hr/㏊, which was counted for filling time of herbicide. Simultaneous operation of transplanting and herbicide application had a of labor saying. The weed control efficacy was measured to be 96% in field when AC140 + Stomp and Londax + YRC was applied at the 65th day after transplanting. Nonanmae was treated by manual application to be compared to.

A granular herbicide applicator attached to conventional ride-on rice transplanter with 6 rows was developed in order to carry out both transplanting and herbicide application at once. It resulted in labor saving by 98%. The prototype is composed of a metering device and a spinning disc spreader. The application rate per 10a can be varied from 1 to 3 kg and the application swath is 1.8 m, which is the planting width of the ride-on rice transplanter with 6 rows. The angular speed of spinning disc and the application height were used as design factors to obtain the uniform distribution of herbicide granules. As the result of experiment, the distribution uniformity showed a tendency to be proportional to the increases of both spinner angular speed and application height. The prototype with angular speed of spinning disc of 7359 rpm and the application height of 20 cm was made and its distribution uniformity was relatively uniform with the CV(coefficient of variation) of 21.7%. In field test, when the tested herbicides such as ACl40+Stomp and Londax+YRC were applied, the weed control has continued for 65 days since transplanting was done.

Discharge flows from a centrifugal pump impeller with a specific speed of 150 [rpm, m$^3$/min, m] were experimentally investigated. A large axisymmetric collector instead of a volute casing was installed to obtain circumferentially uniform flow, i.e. without interaction of the impeller and the volute. The unsteady flow was measured at the impeller exit and vaneless diffuser using a hot film probe and a pressure transducer. The flow at impeller exit showed pronounced jet-wake flow patterns. The wake, which was on the suction/hub side at high flow rate, became enlarged pitchwisely on both the hub and the shroud side as the flow rate decreases. The pitchwise non-uniformity of the flow rapidly decreased along the downstream and the non-uniformity almost disappeared at radius ratio of 1.18 for medium flow rate. The mean vaneless diffuser flow was reasonably predicted using a one dimensional analysis when an empirical constant was used to specify the skin friction coefficient. The data can be used for a centrifugal pump impeller design and validation of CFD codes and flow modeling.

Purpose: Chemical fertilizers contribute to agricultural productivity. Annually, 450,000 tons of chemical fertilizers are used in Korea, which is 268 kg per hectare (MAFRA, 2016). However, excessive use causes problems such as environmental pollution and soil acidification. This study proposes use conditions for a fertilizer distributor that can reduce excessive fertilization by analyzing distribution patterns. Methods: This study analyzed fertilizer application uniformity according to the number of blades on a centrifugal fertilizer distributor (three or four blades), orifice gate open ratio (50 or 100%), and blade rotation speed (400, 500, or 600 rpm). Results: When using four blades, the coefficient of variation (CV) was lower than when using three by 11-13% points, and the CV using the 50% open ratio was 10-30% points lower than using the 100% open ratio. The CV at 500 rpm blade rotating speed was 9-12% points lower than that for 400 and 600 rpm. Conclusions: The CV with four blades, 50% orifice gate open ratio, and 500 rpm of blade rotating speed was 18.4%, which provided the most uniform fertilization.

Pressure distribution in the water supply system of an apartment complex consisting of 12 buildings and 635 units in total have been investigated numerically. The complex incorporates two zone booster pump system, and around a half of units have pressure reducing valves (PRVs) in them. Calculated hydrostatic pressure without the water flow were compared with their designed and measured counterparts, and they agreed quite well with each other. Then, the pressure and volumetric water flow rate at all units were analyzed, indicating that there are noticeable differences in pressure and flow rate in one unit to another, although the aforementioned minimization technologies of pressure deviation were employed. In order to further reduce the difference in the water flow rate, it is suggested that all the units in the complex have PRVs installed in their water supply system. The effect of setting pressure of the PRVs on the non-uniformity of the flow in each unit and on the reduction of total water supply for the apartment complex have been studied. With the same PRV setting pressure of 3.952 bar (or the gauge pressure of $3.0kg_f/cm^2$), it has been estimated that the suggested system improves the non-uniformity (the coefficient of variation) of the flow rate of apartment complex over the current system, from 8.02% to 6.66%, and reduces the total water supply, from $0.02804m^3/s$ to $0.02766m^3/s$.

The present study investigates convective heat/mass transfer and flow characteristics inside the rib-roughened cooling passage of the gas turbine blades. A square duct with rectangular ribs is used and $\wedge-$ and V-shape ribs with $60^{\circ}$ attack angle are installed on the test plate surfaces. Naphthalene sublimation technique is employed to determine the detailed local heat transfer coefficients using the heat and mass transfer analogy. The ribs disturb the main flow resulting in the recirculation and secondary flows near the ribbed wall and the vortices near the side-wall. The local heat transfer and the secondary flow in the duct are changed largely according to the rib orientation. A square duct with $\wedge$ and V-shape ribs has two pairs of secondary flow because of the rib arrangement. So, the duct has complex heat/mass transfer distribution. The average heat/mass transfer coefficient and pressure drop of $\wedge-$ and V-shape ribs are higher than those with $90^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ attack angles. The average heat/mass transfer coefficient on the $\wedge-shape$ ribs is higher than that on the V-shape ribs. Also, the uniformity of heat/mass transfer coefficient on discrete ribs is higher than that on continuous rib.

디젤엔진 SCR 시스템 내에서 $NO_x$를 저감을 위한 베인 타입 스태틱 믹서의 혼합유동특성을 수치적으로 연구하였다. 믹서는 원형관의 입구로부터 유동방향으로 직경의 57배 떨어진 구간에 설치하였다. 베인이 유동 축과 이루는 각과 베인의 크기 그리고 위치의 변화에 따른 유동 및 혼합특성을 고찰하였다. 원형관내에서 믹서를 통과하는 유동의 특성은 UI, 선회비, 그리고 압력계수와 같은 특성화된 성능지수로 나타내었다. 해석결과 성능지수들은 베인 각과 차단비, 베인 위치와 같은 기하학적 변수에 영향을 받음을 확인하였다. 특히, 베인 각, 베인 크기가 커지거나 원형관내의 벽면에 가까이 설치될수록 선회비는 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

동적 인장강도를 평가하기 위해 수치해석기법을 이용하여 홉킨슨효과를 가정한 동적 인장시험의 암석 파쇄 과정을 해석하였다. 동적 인장 파쇄 과정과 정적 인장 파쇄 과정에 명확한 차이가 있음을 밝혔으며, 동적 인장강도와 정적 인장강도의 상위는 응력집중현상과 응력재분배에 의해 발생된다는 것을 지적하였다. 그러나 정적파쇄와 동적파쇄 과정에 큰 차이가 있음에도 불구하고 정적 인장강도와 동적 인장강도는 미시적 인장강도의 균질성 계수가 증가함에 따라 미시적 인장강도의 평균치에 근접하였다. 본 연구로부터 암석의 불균질성은 동적 인장강도에 영향을 미치는 요인이며, 동적 인장강도와 정적 인장강도의 상위를 발생시키는 중요한 요인임을 지적하였다.

본 연구의 내용은 임도건설(林道建設) 예정지역(豫定地域)의 흙을 어떻게 토질(土質) 역학적(力學的)으로 실험하여 실제적으로 응용할 수 있는가를 다루는 것이다. 이를 위해 8개 플롯에서 각 플롯 당 2 개씩 총 16개의 토양시료(土壤試料)를 채취하였다. 실험내용은 흙이 흩어지기 전후의 단위중량(單位重量), 함수량(含水量), 액성(液性) 및 소성한계(塑性限界), 다짐도 시험(試驗), 입도시험(粒度試驗) 등이다. 흩어지기(교란(攪亂)) 전후의 전체 단위중량(${\rho}_t$)은 각각 $1.69g/cm^3$과 $1.19g/cm^3$이었으며, 함수량(含水量)은 21.0%와 20.5%였다. 체분석과 비중계(比重計)에 의한 입도시험결과 얻은 균등계수(均等係數) U와 곡율계수(曲率係數) C는 각각 125와 0.42를 보이고 있어 전체적으로 좋은 입도분포는 아니었다. USCS에 의한 토양분류는 SM(실트질 모래 내지 모래실트 혼합토)으로서 성토재료(盛土材料)로서는 좋지 않은 것으로 보인다. 다짐시험결과 자연상태의 단위중량(${\rho}$)과 최적(最適) 단위중량(單位重量)(${\rho}pr$)은 각각 $1.40{\pm}0.065g/cm^3$과 $1.88{\pm}0.049g/cm^3$로 나타났는데, 이것은 ${\rho}pr$에 도달하기 위해 성토시(盛土時) 더 많은 다짐작업과 토량(土量)이 필요함을 의미한다.
