The two-phase flow patterns for both non-loop and loop type oscillating capillary tube heat pipes (OCHPs) were presented in this study. The detailed flow patterns were recorded by a high-speed digital camera for each experimental condition to understand exactly the operation mechanism of the OCHP. The design and operation conditions of the OCHP such as turn number, working fluid, and heat flux were varied. The experimental results showed that the representative flow pattern in the evaporating section of the OCHP was the oscillation of liquid slugs and vapor plugs based on the generation and growth of bubbles by nucleate boiling. As the oscillation of liquid slugs and vapor plugs was very speedy, the flow pattern changed from the capillary slug flow to a pseudo slug flow near the annular flow. The flow of short vapor-liquid slug-train units was the flow pattern in the adiabatic section. In the condensing section, it was the oscillation of liquid slugs and vapor plugs and the circulation of working fluid. The oscillation flow in the loop type OCHP was more active than that in the non-loop type OCHP due to the circulation of working fluid in the OCHP. When the turn number of the OCHP was increased, the oscillation and circulation of working fluid was more active as well as forming the oscillation wave of long liquid slugs and vapor plugs in the OCHP. The oscillation flow of R-142b as the working fluid was more active than that of ethanol and the high efficiency of the heat transfer performance of R -142b was achieved.

This paper presents an INS(Inertial Navigation System) grade, surface micro-machined differential resonant accelerometer(DRXL) manufactured by an epitaxially grown thick poly silicon process. The proposed DRXL system generates a differential digital output upon an applied acceleration, in which frequency transition is measured due to gap dependent electrical stiffness change. To facilitate the resonance dynamics of the electromechanical system, the micromachined DRXL device is packaged by using the wafer level vacuum sealing process. To test the DRXL performance, a nonlinear self-oscillation loop is designed based on the extended describing function technique. The oscillation loop is implemented using discrete electronic elements including precision charge amplifier and hard feedback nonlinearity. The performance test of the DRXL system shows that the sensitivity of the accelerometer is 24 Hz/g and its long term bias stability is about 2 mg($1{\sigma}$) with dynamic range of ${\sigma}70g$.

In this paper, a nonlinear feedback system is analyzed for a surface micromachined resonant accelerometer. For this, a brief illustration of the plant dynamics is given. In the analysis, the periodic signal in the nonlinear feedback loop is obtained by the limit cycle point, which is best approximated via the describing function method. Considering the characteristic feature of plant dynamics, a simple phase shifted relay with finite slope is designed for the nonlinearity implementation. With a describing function for random plus sinusoidal input, we analyzed the effect of a white Gaussian noise on oscillation frequency. Finally, simulation and experimental result is given.

The purpose of this work is to develop an effective active control system for combustion instabilities of premixed combustors. For the first step, the natural modes of combustion oscillation were investigated for a methane-air premixed combustor and the controls by secondary fuel injection were examined. The main premixed flame is stabilized by a swirler with orifices for secondary injection installed on the central hub. For sensing purposes, a pressure transducer and a chemiluminescence sensor were placed on the appropriate positions. The acoustic characteristics and the source of the oscillation were analyzed by those signals. To test the controllability, two methods of actuations by secondary fuel injection were examined. One is the open loop control and the other is the closed loop control. The comparison of the reduction levels of p $_{rms}$ shows that the closed loop control with a phase-shift injection performs best in this condition.ition.n.

PS2는 약 $70^{\circ}$의 위상천이량을 가지며 발진 주파수 조정용으로 사용된다. 증폭기는 제작 시 발생한 큰 삽입손실의 문제를 보완하기 위해 2단으로 구성하였다. 개루프 이득 측정을 통해 발진 조건을 만족하는 PS1의 전압을 측정한 뒤, 폐루프로 구성하여 발진기를 구현하였다. 발진기 측정 결과, 5.345 GHz의 발진 주파수에서, 위상 잡음은 100 kHz offset 주파수에서 -130.5 dBc/Hz를 얻었다. 이때 출력 전력은 약 3.5 dBm, 전기적 주파수 조정 범위는 0~10 V의 조정 전압에서 약 4.2 MHz를 보였다.

This paper presents the differential type resonant accelerometer (DRXL) and its performance test results. The DRXL is the INS grade, surface micro-machined sensor. The proposed DRXL device produces a differential digital output upon an applied acceleration, and the principle is a gap-dependent electrical stiffness variation of the electrostatic resonator with torsion beam structures. Using this new operating concept, we designed, fabricated and tested the proposed device. The final device was fabricated by using the wafer level vacuum packaging process. To test the performance of the DRXL, a nonlinear self-oscillation loop is designed using describing function technique. The oscillation loop is implemented using discrete electronic elements. The performance test of the DRXL shows that the sensitivity of the accelerometer is 12 Hz/g and its long term bias stability is about $2mg(1{\sigma})$. The turn on repeatability, bandwidth, and dynamic range are 4.38 mg, 100 Hz, and ${\pm}\;70g$, respectively.

This paper proposes a new testable design for Zipper CMOS circuits. This design provides an additional feedback loop (called self oscillation loop) whichin the circuit, for testability. The circuit is tested only by observing the oscillation on the loop. The design can be applied to the multistage as well as the single stage, and can detect multiple faults which are undetectable by the conventional testing method. The application and evaluation of test patterns become easy and fault-free responses are not necessary. If the conventional testing method is applied to the sequential Zipper CMOS circuit with the LSSD design technique, it has the serious defect that the initial value may change due to intermediate test patterns and much time taken to apply the necessary test patterns. By using the proposed design, however, the sequential Zipper CMOS circuit with the LSSD design technique can be easily tested without such a defect. Also, the validity of the design is verified by performing the circuit level simulation.

For maintaining a reliable and secure power system, this paper describes the design and implement of a single-phase grid-connected inverter with an enhanced phase-locked loop (PLL) and excellent power control performance. For designing the enhanced PLL and power regulator, a full-bridge voltage-controlled inverter (VCI) is investigated. When the grid frequency deviates from its reference values, the output frequency of the VCI is unstable with an oscillation of 2 doubling harmonics. The reason for this oscillation is analyzed mathematically. This oscillation leads to an injection of harmonics into the grid and even causes an output active power oscillation of the VCI. For eliminating the oscillation caused by a PLL, an oscillation compensation method is proposed. With the proposed method, the VCI maintains the original PLL control characteristics and improves the PLL robustness under grid frequency deviations. On the basis of the above analysis, a power regulator with the primary frequency and voltage modulation characteristics is analyzed and designed. Meanwhile, a small-signal model of the power loops is established to determine the control parameters. The VCI can accurately output target power and has primary frequency and voltage modulation characteristics that can provide active and reactive power compensation to the grid. Finally, simulation and experimental results are given to verify the idea.
