This experiment was undertaken to investigate the atomization characteristics of the low viscosity biodiesel blended fuel and ultrasonic energy added one. Test fuels were conventional diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel. We compared to the characteristics of viscosity and surface tension, SMD between low viscosity biodiesel blended fuel and ultrasonic energy added one. Sauter mean diameter was measured under the variation of the spray distance. Viscosity and surface tension was measured under the variation of the time trace. To measure the droplet size, we used the Malvern system 2600C. Droplet size distribution was analyzed from the result data of Malvern system. Through this experiment, we found that the condition of the ultrasonic energy added situation had smaller Sauter mean diameter of droplet, viscosity and surface tension than that of the conventional situation.

Seedlayers with low surface energy which increases the density of nucleation sites in the initial growth region of the recording layer deposited on them was studied to reduce grain size in recording layer. The seedlayer with low surface energy was so effective to attain finer grain in magnetic upper-layers. The Ni-Fe-O intermediate layer with low surface energy was found to be effective in reduction of grain size as well as magnetic cluster size of Co-Cr-Ta-Pt recording layer. Furthermore, the reduction of grain size in Co-Cr-Ta-Pt recording layer on Ni-Fe-O intermediate layer with low surface energy led to decrease the noise level in the high recording density region.

The mmWave cell-free massive MIMO (CFmMIMO), combining the advantages of wide bandwidth in the mmWave frequency band and the high- and uniform-spectral efficiency of CFmMIMO, has recently emerged as one of the enabling technologies for 6G. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for energy-efficient mmWave CFmMIMO systems that uses low-resolution digital-analog converters (DACs) and phase shifters (PSs) to introduce lowcomplexity hybrid precoding. Additionally, we propose a heuristic pilot allocation scheme that makes the best effort to slash some interference from copilot users. The simulation results show that the proposed hybrid precoding and pilot allocation scheme outperforms the existing schemes. Furthermore, we reveal the relationship between the energy and spectral efficiencies for the proposed mmWave CFmMIMO system by modeling the whole network power consumption and observe that the introduction of low-resolution DACs and PSs is effective in increasing the energy efficiency by compromising the spectral efficiency and the network power consumption.

This paper presents applications of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) energy storage batteries, while showing merits and demerits of several techniques to mitigate their electrochemical challenges. Unmanned aerial vehicles, electric cars, and grid-scale energy storage systems represent main applications of Li-S batteries due to their low cost, high specific capacity, and light weight. However, polysulfide shuttle effects, low conductivities, and low coulombic efficiencies signify key challenges of Li-S batteries, causing high volumetric changes, dendritic growths, and limited cycling performances. Solid-state electrolytes, interfacial interlayers, and electrocatalysts denote promising methods to mitigate such challenges. Moreover, nanomaterials have capability to improve kinetic reactions of Li-S batteries based on several properties of nanoparticles to immobilize sulfur in cathodes, stabilizing lithium in anodes while controlling volumetric growths. Li-S energy storage technologies are able to satisfy requirements of future markets for advanced rechargeable batteries with high-power densities and low costs, considering environmentally friendly systems based on renewable energy sources.

한국은 건물부문 온실가스 감축 목표 달성을 위한 핵심정책으로 2020년부터 공공부문 신축 건축물을 대상으로 제로에너지건축물 인증 의무화를 시행하였다. 이 논문은 궁극적인 Net Zero 에너지건축물 달성하는 데 있어서 정부의 정책에 따른 건축물 에너지성능의 변화 추세를 파악하고, 최근 건축물에 적용된 에너지기술 성능의 변화 추이를 분석하는 방법론을 제시함으로써 궁극적으로는 장기적인 Net Zero를 달성하고자 하는 정책 환경의 변화에서 건축 관련 이해 관계자들이 건축물 유형별로 적절한 에너지기술들을 적용하는데 도움을 주고자 한다. 본 연구를 위해 최근 4년간 건축물 에너지효율등급 예비인증 데이터를 수집하여 건축물의 에너지성능이 상승하는 추세를 확인하였다. 또한, 최근 건축물에 적용된 에너지기술들의 에너지성능 현황을 분석하기 위하여 K-means 군집분석 활용해 교육연구 시설과 업무시설의 High, Low 에너지성능 군집을 통해 비교군(2016년~2020년, 2020년) 설정하여, 분석하였다. 분석 결과 교육연구 시설의 High, Low 군집 모두 태양광 모듈 면적의 증가율이 261.1%, 283.5% 급증하였으며, 업무시설은 High, Low 군집 모두 태양광 모듈 면적이 감소하는 반면에 대부분의 패시브, 액티브 기술의 에너지성능이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다.

저전력 블루투스(BLE) 기술이 저속 저에너지 무선 센서 네트워크 기술로 주목을 받고 있다. BLE 기반의 무선 네트워크에서는 신속한 장치 탐색이 매우 중요하며, 네트워크 노드들이 보통 동전형 배터리로 매우 긴 시간 동안 동작해야하기 때문에 에너지 소모를 최소화하여 운영할 필요가 있다. 그러나 낮은 에너지와 짧은 지연시간을 동시에 얻기 어렵기 때문에 BLE 규격에서는 장치 탐색 프로세스에 관련된 파라미터들의 값 범위를 넓게 허용하여 응용에 맞게 설정하도록 하고 있다. 따라서 BLE 네트워크 운영에 앞서 장치 탐색 프로세스 관련 파라미터의 값에 따른 성능을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 BLE 네트워크에서 장치 탐색을 위한 advertising 횟수의 평균과 누적분포함수에 대해 분석하였다. 또한 소모 에너지 증가가 거의 없으면서 장치 탐색의 성능을 개선할 수 있는 advertising 이벤트 간 간격을 제어하는 방안을 제안하였다.

Low cycle fatigue tests are performed on the HSLA steel that be developed for a submarine material. The relation between strain energy density and numbers of cycles to failure is examined in order to predict the low cycle fatigue life of HSLA steel. The cyclic properties are determined by a least square fit techniques. The life predicted by the strain energy method is found to coincide with experimental data and results obtained from the Coffin-Manson method. Also the cyclic behavior of HSLA steel is characterized by cyclic softening with increasing number of cycle at room temperature. Especially, low cycle fatigue characteristics and microstructural changes of HSLA steel are investigated according to changing tempering temperatures. In the case of HSLA steel, the $\varepsilon$-Cu is farmed in $550^{\circ}C$ of tempering temperature and enhances the low cycle fatigue properties.

An experimental study on post-CHF heat transfer has been performed with a $3\times3$ rod bundle using a vertical steam-water two-phase flow at low flow conditions. The effects of various parameters on the post-CHF heat transfer are investigated and the reasons for the parametric effects are discussed. As the heat transfer regime changes from CHF to post-CHF, the radial wall temperature distribution is changed depending on the pressure and the mass flux conditions. The superheat of the fluid increases considerably with an increase of the wall temperature (or heat flux) and with a decrease of the mass flux. This implies, indirectly, a strong thermal non-equilibrium at high wall temperature and low mass flux conditions. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of the existing post-CHF correlations, it is necessary to perform more experiments, particularly direct measurement of the vapor superheat, and to modify the correlation by considering a strong thermal non-equilibrium at low flow and low pressure conditions.

Construction equipment is a major energy consumption source in construction projects. If 10% reduction of the diesel fuel usage is achieved in the construction industry, it may reduce 5% of the total energy usage. Energy saving operation is a major issue in equipment-intensive operations (e.g., earthmoving or paving operations). Identifying optimal equipment fleet is important measure to achieve low-energy consumption in those operations. This study presents a system which finds an optimal equipment fleet by computing the low-energy performance of earthmoving operations. It establishes construction operation model and compares numerous combinations using alternative equipment allocation plans. It implements sensitivity analysis that facilitates searching the lowest energy consumption equipment fleet by enumerating all cases.
