The performance of an isolated high voltage full bridge converter is improved using a voltage doubler. In a conventional high voltage full bridge converter, the diode of the transformer secondary voltage undergoes a voltage spike due to the leakage inductance of the transformer and the resonance occurring with the parasitic capacitance of the diode. In addition, in the phase shift control, conduction loss largely increases from the freewheeling mode because of the circulating current. The efficiency of the converter is thus reduced. However, in the proposed converter, the high voltage dual converter consists of a voltage doubler because the circulating current of the converter is reduced to increase efficiency. On the other hand, in the proposed converter, an input current is distributed when using parallel input / serial output and the output voltage can be doubled. However, the voltages in the 2 serial DC links might be unbalanced due to line impedance, passive and active components impedance, and sensor error. Considering these problems, DC injection is performed due to the complementary operations of half bridge inverters as well as the disadvantage of the unbalance in the DC link. Therefore, the serial output of the converter needs to control the balance of the algorithm. In this paper, the performance of the conventional converter is improved and a balance control algorithm is proposed for the proposed converter. Also, the system of the 1.5[kW] PCS is verified through an experiment examining the operation and stability.

Computational flow dynamics(CFD) has been frequently applied to the waste incinerators to understand the flow performance for various design and operating parameters. Though it needs many simplifications and complicated flow models, the reasonability of its results is not fully evaluated. For example, the inlet condition is calculated from an arbitrarily assumed properties of combustion gas release from the waste bed, since the combustion in the bed is difficult to be predicted. In this study, the computational modeling and calculation procedures of CFD for the grate type waste incinerator were evaluated using comparative simulations. Though the assumption method on the generation of the combustion gas directly affected the temperature and gas species concentrations, the overall flow pattern was dominated by the secondary air jets. The gaseous reaction could be included by assuming the release of the products of incomplete combusion from the bed. However, the reaction effficiency cannot not be directly evaluated from the species concentration, since it is not possible to simulate the actual co-existence of fuel rich or oxygen rich puffs over the bed. In predicting the turbulence, the higher order model, such as Reynolds stress model, gave difference shape of local recirculation zones, but similar results was acquired from the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. Introducing radiation model was required for accurate temperature prediction, but it also caused heat imbalance due to the fixed temperature of the inlet, i.e. the waste bed. Thus, the computational modeling procedures on incinerators and the analysis of the predicted results should be progressed carefully. Though not validated experimentally, current simulation method is capable of comparative evaluation on the flow-related parameters such as the furnace shape and secondary air injection using identical inlet conditions. Quantitative analysis using measures of the residence time and mixing is essential to compare the flow performance efficiently.

LPG has been a broad concern of pro-environmental alternative fuel for vehicles. Recently, the new Liquid Phase LPG Injection(LPLI) system extends the limit of power of LPG engine and gives a chance to substitute LPG engine for diesel engine of heavy duty vehicles that are the main resources of air pollution in urban area. Large bore size of heavy duty LPG engine derives a serious knock problem. To find an optimal MBT conditions, it is necessary to know how the flame develops in the combustion chamber and find where the knock positions are. In this study. the ion-probe head gasket was used to estimate the knock position. Inverse operation of the ion-probe signal provides the flame developing characteristics. The further the position is from the spark plug, the later the flame arrives and the more times knock occurs. The main factor that effects knock position is inferred a flor situation of mixed gas in the combustion chamber.

Since its launching on 21 December 1999, the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-Ⅰ (KOMPSAT-Ⅰ) has been successfully operated by the Mission Control Element (MCE), which was developed by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). Most of the major functions of the MCE have been successfully demonstrated and verified during the three years of the mission life of the satellite. The Mission Analysis and Planning Subsystem (MAPS), which is one of the four subsystems in the MCE, played a key role in the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) operations as well as the on-orbit mission operations. This paper presents the operational performances of the various functions in MAPS. We show the performance and analysis of orbit determinations using ground-based tracking data and GPS navigation solutions. We present four instances of the orbit maneuvers that guided the spacecraft from injection orbit into the nominal on-orbit. We include the ground-based attitude determination using telemetry data and the attitude maneuvers for imaging mission. The event prediction, mission scheduling, and command planning functions in MAPS subsequently generate the spacecraft mission operations and command plan. The fuel accounting and the realtime ground track display also support the spacecraft mission operations. We also present the orbital evolutions during the three years of the mission life of the KOMPSAT-Ⅰ.

1.9L 커먼레일 직접분사 디젤 엔진을 이용하여 1500rpm 2.6bar BMEP 에서 다량의 EGR(약 41%)과 연료분사 제어를 통한 저온디젤연소 영역에서 연료의 특성이 연소와 배기가스에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 사용한 연료는 세탄가 55 에 대하여 방향족 성분(20%, 45%, vol. %)과 T90 온도($270^{\circ}C$, $340^{\circ}C$)의 조합으로 네 개이다. 주어진 실험 조건에서 모든 연료에 대하여 착화지연 기간이 증가함에 따라 PM 은 단조적으로 저감되었다. 동일한 착화지연 기간에 대하여 T90 온도가 높은 연료들의 PM 발생이 높았다. NOx 는 동일한 MFB50% 위치에서 모든 연료가 동등 수준이었다. THC, CO 발생은 연료 조성에 관계없이 동일한 착화지연 기간에 대하여 동등 수준이었다. 또한 착화지연 기간 증가에 따라 THC, CO 배출이 증가하였는데 이는 과혼합 증가가 주 원인으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 커먼레일 디젤엔진의 정속운전시 배출되는 나노크기의 입자상 물질을 분석하는데 초점을 두었다. 디젤산화촉매 후단에서 나노입자상 물질의 개수농도 저감수준은 크지 않았으나 매연여과장치 후단에서 분석한 결과 1,000배 정도 저감되는 결과를 확인하였다. 고속 고부하 조건에서는 매연여과장치의 자연재생 효과로 인해 입자상 물질은 증가하였다. 연료분사시기를 BTDC $6^{\circ}CA$ 에서 ATDC $4^{\circ}CA$까지 지각시킨 결과 입자상 물질의 개수농도는 감소하였지만 최지각 조건인 ATDC $9^{\circ}CA$에서는 증가하는 결과를 확인하였다. EGR 적용시 핵화모드 입자상 물질은 저감되는 경향을 보였으며 축적모든 입자는 증가하였다.

The Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) accident has been studied extensively, as part of both post-accident technical assessment and follow-up computer code calculations. The models used in computer codes for severe accidents have improved significantly over the years due to better understanding. It was decided to reanalyze the severe accident scenario using current state of the art codes and methodologies. This reanalysis was adopted as a part of the joint standard problem exercise for the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) - United States Regulatory Commission (USNRC) bilateral safety meet. The accident scenario was divided into four phases for analysis viz., Phase 1 covers from the accident initiation to the shutdown of the last Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) (0 to 100 min), Phase 2 covers initial fuel heat up and core degradation (100 to 174 min), Phase 3 is the period of recovery of the core water level by operating the reactor coolant pump, and the core reheat that followed (174 to 200 min) and Phase 4 covers refilling of the core by high pressure injection (200 to 300 min). The base case analysis was carried out for all four phases. The majority of the predicted parameters are in good agreement with the observed data. However, some parameters have significant deviations compared to the observed data. These discrepancies have arisen from uncertainties in boundary conditions, such as makeup flow, flow during the RCP 2B transient (Phase 3), models used in the code, the adopted nodalisation schemes, etc. In view of this, uncertainty and sensitivity analyses are carried out using simulation based techniques. The paper deals with uncertainty and sensitivity analyses carried out for the first three phases of the accident scenario.

2015년 미국 켈리포니아 주의 LEV3 배출가스 허용기준 도입과 함께 국내에서도 2017년부터 LEV 3에 준하는 가솔린 및 가스자동차 배출가스 허용기준이 적용될 예정이다. 이 기준에는 국내 배출가스 허용기준 모드가 FTP-75 모드뿐만 아니라 HWFET 및 SFTP(US06, SC03)를 추가할 예정이다. 대부분의 LPG 자동차는 국내에서 저공해자동차로 인증 받았다. 현재까지는 저공해자동차 등록을 위하여 FTP-75 모드의 허용기준만 만족하면 되었으나 LEV3 기준 부터는 추가된 3가지 모드의 허용기준이 추가될 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 LPG차량의 연료분사기술에 따라 LEV3 SULEV SFTP 허용기준 적합여부와 발전방향 제시를 위하여 8종의 LPG 차량과 4종의 가솔린 차량을 대상으로 FTP-75 모드 및 SFTP 모드 배출가스 시험을 실시하였다. 연구결과 최근 출시된 LPLi 1개 차종을 제외하고 SFTP 허용기준을 만족시키는 차량은 없었으며 이를 보완하기 위하여 연소분사 제어기술의 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

공기흡입식 추진 기관인 스크램제트 엔진은 연소기 내부 유동이 초음속으로 유동장의 연소기 내부 체류 시간이 수 ms로 매우 짧다. 이 짧은 시간동안 연소과정이 모두 이루어져야 하므로 초음속 연소기술에 대한 연구는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 초음속 연소 기술 중 연료-공기의 혼합을 증대시키는 방법에 관심을 두고 Cavity를 이용한 방법을 선택하여 높이를 10mm로 고정시키고 길이를 변화시켰으며, Cavity 후류에서 지름 1mm의 분사구를 통해 음속 let을 분사시키는 유동장을 형성하여 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 통해 점성 유동장을 해석하였다. 해석 결과 Cavity 길이/높이비(L/H)가 클수록 Vorticity가 값이 증가하였고 Vorticity의 증가 영역이 유동장의 위, 옆 방향으로 확장되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 하지만 Vorticity가 증가하는 만큼 추력특성을 떨어뜨리는 정체압력 손실이 증가하므로 연소기 설계 시 최대의 혼합과 최소의 정체압력 손실을 고려한 최적 형상 설계가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Since regulations of exhaust emissions are continuously reinforced, studies to reduce harmful emissions during the cold start period of SI engines have been carried out very extensively worldwide. During the cold start period, raising the temperature of cold exhaust gas is a key strategy to minimize the light-off time of three way catalysts. In this study, a synthetic gas containing a large amount of hydrogen was injected into the exhaust manifold to raise the exhaust gas temperature and to reduce harmful emissions. The authors tried to evaluate changes in exhaust gas temperature and harmful emissions through controlling the engine operating parameters such as ignition timings and lambda values. Also the authors investigated both combustion stability and reduction of harmful emissions. Experimental results showed that combustion of the synthetic gas in the exhaust manifold is a very effective way for solving the problems of harmful emissions and light-off time. The results also showed that the strategy of retarded ignition timings and increased air/fuel ratios with ESGI is effective in raising exhaust gas temperature and reducing harmful emissions. Futhermore, the results showed that engine operating parameters ought to be controlled to lambda = 1.2 and ignition timing = $0{\sim}3^{\circ}$ conditions to reduce harmful emissions effectively under stable combustion conditions.
