Piezoelectric generators use direct piezoelectric effects that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Many studies were attempted to fabricate piezoelectric generators using piezoelectrics such as ZnO, PZT, PVDF. However, these various inorganic/organic piezoelectric materials are not suitable for bio-implantable devices due to problems such as brittleness, toxicity, bio-incompatibility, bio-degradation. Thus, in this paper, piezoelectric generators were prepared using a silk fibroin film which is bio-compatible by dip-coating method. The silk fibroin films are a mixed state of silk I and silk II having stable β-sheet type structures and shows the d₃₃ value of 8~10 pC/N. There was a difference in output voltages according to the thickness. The silk fibroin generators, coated 10 times and 20 times, revealed the power density of 16.07 μW/cm² and 35.31 μW/cm² using pushing tester, respectively. The silk fibroin generators are sensitive to various pressure levels, which may arise from body motions such as finger tapping, foot pressing, wrist shaking, etc. The silk fibroin piezoelectric generators with bio-compatibility shows the applicability as a low-power implantable piezoelectric generator, healthcare monitoring service, and biotherapy devices.

동기발전기의 고조파는 철손과 동손을 증가시켜 발열의 원인이 된다. 이를 감소시키기 위하여 전기자의 권선법을 분포권, 단절권을 이용하여 고조파를 감소시키는 방법이 있으나 본 논문에서는 영구자석의 형상을 기존에 연구되었던 방법이 아닌 새로운 형상 변형을 통해 고조파를 감소시키며 기전압의 파형을 개선하고자 한다. 형상 변형 방법으로 영구자석의 양단을 절단하고 설정값에 따라 영구자석의 면적을 증가, 감소시켜 공극의 길이를 조절한다. 이때 자속밀도의 분포를 다르게 하여 이에 따른 기전압과 왜형률을 비교하였다. 이를 통해 논문에 기술된 영구자석의 형상 변화 모델들을 비교하고 가장 효과적인 변형 방법을 나타냈다.

Purpose: Diagnostic estimation of destruction and formation of bone has the typical limit according to capacity of x-ray generator and image detector. So the aim of this study was to find out how much it can reproduce the shape and the density of bone in the case of using recently developed dental type of cone beam computed tomography, and which image is applied by new detector and mathematic calculation. Materials and Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (PSR 9000N, Asahi Roentgen Ind. Co., Ltd., Japan) and soft x-ray radiography were executed on dry mandible that was already decalcified during 5 hours, 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours, and 25 hours. Estimating and comparing of those came to the following results. Results: The change of inferior border of mandible and anterior border of ramus in the region of cortical bone was observed between first 5 and 10 hours of decalcification. The reproduction of shape and density in the region of cortical bone and cancellous bone can be hardly observed at cone beam computed tomography compared with soft x-ray radiography. The difference of decrease of bone density according to hours of decalcification increase wasn't reproduced at cone beam computed tomography compared with soft x-ray radiography. Conclusion: CBCT images revealed higher spatial resolution. However, contrast resolution in region of low contrast sensitivity is the inferiority of images' property.

본 논문은 2행정 피스톤 엔진 기반 발전기 및 배터리로 구성된 드론용 전기추진시스템 설계 과정에 대해 다룬다. 연구의 목적은 하이브리드 시스템의 높은 에너지 밀도를 이용하여 비행시간을 증가 시키고 화석연료 사용량을 줄임으로써 환경 변화에 대처함에 있다. 시스템은 6 kW의 출력을 생산할 수 있고, 엔진 RPM 제어를 통해 부하 요구에 맞는 출력 조절이 가능하다. 또한 배터리를 추가 장착함으로써 출력 보완재 역할 뿐만 아니라 비상시 제한된 시간 내 주 전력으로 사용할 수 있다. 또한 발전기를 엔진 크랭크축에 직접 연결함으로써 설계 복잡성을 줄여 동체 내 공간 활용성을 증대 시켰다.

Wood pyrolysis oil(WPO) has been regarded as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. However, WPO is not feasible for use directly in diesel engines due to its poor fuel quality such as low energy density, high acidity, high viscosity and low cetane number. The most widely used approach to improve WPO fuel quality is to blend WPO with other hydrocarbon fuels that have a higher cetane number. However, WPO and fossil fuels are not usually blended because of their different polarity. Also, clogging and polymerization problems in the fuel supply system can occur when the engine is operated with WPO. Polymerization can be prevented by diluting WPO with other alcohol fuels. However, WPO-alcohol blended fuel does not produce self-ignition. Therefore, additional cetane enhancement to the blended fuel is required to enhance auto-ignitability. In this study, WPO was blended with n-butanol and two cetane enhancements(PEG 400 and 2-EHN) for application to a diesel generator. Experimental results showed that the WPO-butanol blended fuel achieved a very stable engine operation under maximum WPO content of 20 wt%.

가스발생기의 고 효율화를 위해 고에너지 물질인 보론을 사용한 보론 비드의 비드 입도 및 성분에 따른 연소특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구는 전기적으로 가열 된 텅스텐 시트와 가시화된 전기로를 사용하여 각각 점화온도와 연소 시간을 측정하고, 고속 카메라로 연소 과정을 측정하였다. 실험 결과 점화 온도는 720~800 K 이며, 연소 시간은 보론 비드 직경에 비례하는 것으로 관찰 되었다. 온도와 복사강도 측정값을 사용하여 보론 입자의 점화 지연시간이 존재한다는 것을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 보론 비드의 전반적인 연소 메커니즘을 이해할 수 있었다.

The piezoelectric energy harvesting characteristics of a trapezoidal cantilever generator with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) laminate were investigated with various Ag inner electrodes. The piezoelectric mode of operation was a transverse mode by using a planar electrode pattern. The piezoelectric cantilever generator was fabricated using trapezoidal cofired-PZT/Ag laminates by five specimens of 2, 3, 4, 7, and 13 layers of Ag. As the number of Ag electrodes increased, impedance and output voltage at resonant frequency significantly decreased, and capacitance and output current showed an increasing tendency. A maximum output power density of $7.60mW/cm^3$ was realized for the specimen with seven Ag layers in the optimal condition of acceleration (1.2 g) and resistive load ($600{\Omega}$), which corresponds to a normalized power factor of $5.28mW/g^2{\cdot}cm^3$.

It is well known that energy generated by a wind generator (WG) depends on the wind resources at the installation site. In other words, a WG installed in a high wind speed area can produce more energy than that in a low wind speed area. However, a WG installed at a low wind site can produce a similar amount of energy to that produced by a WG installed at a high wind site if the WG is designed with a rated wind speed corresponding to the mean wind speed of the site. In this paper, we investigated the power curve of a WG suitable for Korea's southwestern coast with a low mean wind speed to achieve a high capacity factor (CF). We collected the power curves of the 11 WGs of the 6 WG manufacturers. The probability density function of the wind speed on Korea's southwestern coast was modeled using the Weibull distribution. The annual energy production by the WG was calculated and then the CFs of all of the WGs were estimated and compared. The results indicated that the WG installed on the Korea's southwestern coast could obtain a CF higher than 40 % if it was designed with the lower rated speed corresponding to the mean wind speed at the installation site.

Denting of steam generator (SG) tube is defined as the reduction in tube diameter due to the stresses exerted by the corrosion products formed on the outer diameter surface. This phenomenon is mostly observed in the crevices between SG tube and the top-of tubesheet or tube support plate. Despite the replacement of SG tube with Alloy 690, which has better corrosion resistance than Alloy 600, the denting of SG tube still remains a potential problem that could decrease the SG integrity. Deformation of SG tube by denting phenomenon can affect the surface properties and microstructure of SG tube. In this study, the effects of plastic deformation on surface properties and microstructure of Alloy 690 thermally treated (TT) tube was investigated by using the various analysis techniques. The plastic deformation of Alloy 690 increased the surface roughness and area. Many surface defects such as ripped surface and micro-cracks were observed on the deformed Alloy 690TT specimen. Based on the electron backscatter diffraction analysis, the dislocation density of deformed SG tube increased compared to non-deformed SG tube. In addition, the effects of changes in surface properties and microstructure of SG tube on general corrosion behavior were discussed.

본 논문은 파력 에너지 수집 장치에 사용할 수 있는 영구자석 선형 동기발전기의 특성 해석에 관한 것이다. 파력 에너지는 요요시스템과 같은 기구로 부터 얻어진다. 영구자석을 이용한 선형 발전기는 영구자석의 자력을 통해 별도의 전원공급이 필요 없고 유지 보수가 간단한 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 높은 에너지 밀도를 갖는 희토류의 사용으로 영구자석 기기는 소형화 및 경량화가 가능하며 보다 높은 에너지 변환 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 영구자석 선형 동기발전기 특성 해석을 위해 2차원 극 좌표계 및 자기 벡터 포텐셜에 근거하여 영구자석과 전기자 반작용 자계해석을 수행 하였다. 해석 해를 이용하여 정현적인 속도입력에 의해 유도되는 유기기전력의 특성 식을 유도하고, 동일한 방법으로 역기전력 상수, 저항, 자기인덕턴스와 상호인덕턴스와 같은 전기적 파라미터를 얻었다. 본 논문에서 사용한 공간고조파법의 결과는 2차원 유한요소해석법 결과와 비교하여 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 영구자석 형 선형 발전기의 특성을 이해하는 것과 해석방법의 비교연구, 설계 최적화, 그리고 기기의 동적 모델링에 기여할 수 있다.
