  • The thermal performance of air receiver with a change of flow direction for dish solar collector. This system is installed and operated in Incheon, Korea. The thermal capacity of the system is about 5 kW thermal. The aperture diameter of the cylindrical-shape receiver which is made of stainless steel is 100 mm, and the height is 210 mm. Experiments are being carried out to investigate the thermal performance variation of the receivers with several design parameters such as the shape of the receiver, the flow directions and the flow rate of air. First, air flows into the upper part of the receiver, which is the opposite side of the aperture. After the air flows through the inside receiver, that goes out of the receiver through 3 exits which are located near the aperture. Second, air flows into the backside of the receiver, Which is the forward side of the aperture. After the air flows through the inside receiver, that goes out of the receiver through 1 exit. The results show that the system efficiency and receiver efficiency increase as the volume flow rate increases as expected.

  • This paper presents a study on characteristics of precession motion of a smart munition. It's a kind of the Sensor Fuzed Weapon. The particular thing for the smart munition is that it has precession motion in the air while the sensor is searching the ground to detect ground vehicles such as tanks. The smart munition has a cylindrical shape and has a sensor attached on its side. Due to its non-uniform mass distribution, its center of gravity(CG) is located away from the center of volume(CV). In order for the smart munition to detect the target effectively, the ground searching pattern of sensor should have an uniform circular form, and for this, the precession motion of smart munition should be in its steady-state. Finally, it is necessary to choose the right initial conditions at the moment of firing, for the steady-state precession motion during flight.

  • The purpose of this research is to propose a maintenance support system for deciding assembly sequence of the product and appropriate tools that are used to assembly and disassembly of parts in the product when geometric properties of the product. The digital maintenance system (DMS) is developed to generate the maintenance guideline and the initial experiment is conducted especially for an underwater weapon system with cylindrical structure. DMS considers four factors to find the efficient assembly and disassembly procedure automatically: (1) assembly tree, (2) properties of each part, (3) distance from the center of the product, and (4) volume. Based on the factors, DMS simulate the movement of each tool virtually and the properties of tools are investigated to find an appropriate tool for using assembly and disassembly of each part in the product. The proposed approach integrates modeling, simulation, data configuration, and virtual reality to allow a development of preliminary maintenance guidance.

  • 본 논문에서는 핵자기공명영상의 고해상도를 이루고, 영상의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서 선형성이 증가된 경사자기장 코일의 설계와 제작에 목적을 두었다. Maxwell pair를 이용하여 Z-경사자계의 선형성을 증강시키기 위해 코일의 기하학적인 형태의 이론적인 계산과 몇 가지 형태의 코일로부터 예상되는 자기장 및 경사자기장의 분포를 구현했다. 즉, 코일 축 방향의 자기장을 구면좌표계에서 전개하는 방법으로 Maxwell pair의 크기와 위치를 계산하고, 유한요소법을 이용하여 자기장 및 경사자기장의 2차원 분포를 그렸다. 더불어 이론적인 계산 결과와 함께 자기장의 2차원 분포를 토대로 실제 경사자기장 코일을 제작하였고 이를 0.15 Τ 핵자기공명영상기에 적용하여, 영상을 획득하였다. 기존의 방법에 따른 Maxwell pair 형태를 이용한 경우에 코일지름의 40% DSV(diameter spherical volume)내에서 DSV의 5% 이내의 뒤틀림(distortion)을 갖는 선형성이 유지되었고, 새롭게 시도된 방법에 의한 경사자기장 코일의 경우는 코일지름의 70% DSV 내에서 DSV의 5% 이내의 뒤틀림을 갖는 선형성을 유지하였으며, 설계 제작된 경사자기장 코일과 RF-코일을 이용하여 이를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 경사자기장 코일의 선형성은 Maxwell pair 코일보다 향상된 결과를 보았으며, 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법은 자기공명영상의 해상도 향상에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

  • A new spatial localization technique using high-order surface gradient coil (SGC) is proposed. Although the Spatial Selection with High-Order gradient (SHOT) can provide a 2-D selection with only one selective RF pulse, the high-order gradient produced by cylindrical-shape coils has not been clinically useful for clinical systems due to the large minimum selection size caused by the limited radial gradient intensity. However, by using the proposed high-order SGCs located near the imaging region, the size of volume selection can be reduced to a clinically useful 1-4 cm in diameter by applying stronger radial gradient with much less gradient driving power. A 40 cm-by-40 cm $r^{2}$ SGC has been designed and constructed, and phantom and volunteer studies have been performed. Experimental results using spatially localized MRI show good agreement to the theoretically predicted behavior.

  • This paper reports the study on development and verification of numerical models and analyzes of flow at high speed around structural elements in the shape of a curved pipe (e.g., a fragment of a water slide). Possibility of engineering estimation of wind forces acting on an object in the shape of a helix is presented, using relationships concerning toroidal and cylindrical elements. Determination of useful engineering parameters (such as aerodynamic forces, pressure distribution, and air velocity field) is presented, impossible to obtain from the existing standard EN 1991-1-4 (the so-called wind standard). For this purpose, flow at high speed around a torus and helix, arranged both near planar surface and high above it, was analyzed. Analyzes begin with the flow around a cylinder. This is the simplest object with a circular cross-section and at the same time the most studied in the literature. Based on this model, more complex models are analyzed: first in the shape of half of a torus, next in the shape of a helix.

  • Nowadays the magnetic field mapping is widely used in the design and analysis of the NMR/MRI magnet system, and the accuracy of mapping result has become more and more important. There are several factors affecting the accuracy of the mapping such as the mapping method, the precision of the sensor, the position of the measurement points, the calculation accuracy, and so on. In this paper the error due to the misalignment of the measurement points was discussed. The magnetic field in the central volume was mapped using an indirect method in an MRI magnet system and the magnetic field was fitted to a polynomial. Considering the misalignment between the original measurement points and the practical measurement points, there must be some errors in the mapping calculation and we called it positioning error. Several comparisons of the positioning error have been presented through the theoretical estimates and the exact magnetic field values. Finally, the allowable positioning errors were suggested to guarantee the accuracy of the magnetic field mapping within a certain degree for an example case.

  • In addition to the energy storage facilities based on high power technologies, Electric double layer capacitors(EDLC) are today's candidate for power quality stabilization. However, its low energy density is often inhibiting factor for application of electric power industry. Hybrid supercapacitor is an promising energy storage device that positioned between conventional EDLC and Li-ion battery. This paper describes the preparation and characteristics of a hybrid supercapacitor and module for power quality stabilization. A cylindrical 3200F hybrid supercapacitor ($60{\times}74.5mm$) was assembled by using the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrode as an anode and activated carbon as a cathode. It shows 2.5 times higher energy density than conventional EDLC with the same volume. In order to determine the characteristics of the hybrid supercapacitor Module for uninterruptible power supply (UPS), hybrid supercapacitor cells were connected in series with active balancing circuit. At even the high current density of 14A(10C), Module prepared by 18 cells showed the capacitance of 170F at 30~50V, suggesting the applicability for UPS.

  • Turbulent jet in a crossflow, issuing from a row of holes on a convex surface of 90 .deg. bend duct, is predicted by a 3-dimensional numerical method. The Cartesian coordinate system in adopted in upstream and downstream tangents and the cylindrical polar coordinate system in curved region. The Reynolds stresses and heat fluxes are obtained from a standard k-e model in the core region and van Driest model in the vicinity of the wall. The governing equations are discretized by a finite volume method and solutions are obtained by a locally elliptic calculation procedure. Pressure and convective terms are treated by SIMPLE algorithm and hybrid scheme respectively. A vortex initially induced by the injected jet has been built up due to the interaction with the secondary flow caused by pressure gradient and centrifugal force. The vortex structure has a strong influence on the wall cooling effectiveness. Another vortex like horseshoe is formed in the vicinity of the injection hole and its strength is getting weak as it moves downward.
