Pump which is the fundamental device in the hydraulic system affects on overall system performance to a great deal. Such problems as leakage and solid friction loss become important in field applications, especially for the case of operation under high pressure and at high speed. So the research on this kind of subjects is necessary to improve the performance of hydraulic devices. A high pressure radial piston pump is analyzed here, which has a stationary cylinder block. It pumps hydraulic fluid by letting camring push a piston in a cylinder. Fluid leaks between the piston and cylinder so that it deteriorates the pump efficiency. Furthermore, the piston happens to touch the cylinder wall to increase the friction loss and wear. In this research, by means of FDA, volumetric, mechanical and overall efficiencies are observed by varying several design parameters and operation conditions. Design values or their trends are presented to improve these effciencies.

A novel antenna with ellipsoid-paraboloid surfaces configuration is designed for matching the incident radial radiation fiber laser distribution for maximum transmission efficiency. The on-axial and off-axial defocus effects on the optical antenna system, resulting in energy loss, are analyzed in detail. Knowledge of the effects of those defocuses on beam divergence, aberration and antenna transmission efficiency is of great importance to the long range communication systems.

Severe radial thrust under off-design operating conditions can be a harmful factor for centrifugal pumps. In the present work, effects of geometry of a double volute casing on the hydrodynamic performance of a centrifugal pump have been investigated focusing on off-design conditions. Three-dimensional steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis was carried out by using shear stress transport turbulence model. Numerical results for the hydrodynamic performance of the centrifugal pump were validated compared with experimental data. The hydraulic efficiency and radial thrust coefficient were used as performance parameters to evaluate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the centrifugal pump. The cross-sectional area ratio of the volute casing, the expansion coefficient of the rib structure, the distance between the rib starting point and volute entrance, and radius and width of the volute entrance, and length of the rib structure, were selected as geometric parameters. Results of the parametric study show that the performance parameters are significantly affected by the geometric variables and operating conditions. Optimal configurations of the double volute casing based on the design of experiments technique show outstanding performance in terms of the efficiency and radial thrust coefficient.

본 연구의 목적은 생산 프론티어 접근을 통하여 OECD 국가의 에너지효율과 경제성장이 에너지수요에 미치는 영향을 비교하는 것이다. 본 연구는 OECD 국가를 대상으로 전통적 에너지 원단위와 생산 프론티어 접근에 의한 에너지효율, 생산 프론티어 상의 효율점에서 에너지 과다 여유분의 존재, 생산의 기술구조 하에서 GDP 증가에 따른 에너지수요 탄력성을 살펴보았다. 첫째, 전통적 에너지 원단위는 방사선 에너지효율과는 상관성이 낮고 여유분 에너지효율, 비방사선 에너지효율과 에너지 최소화 방향의 수평선 에너지효율 등과는 일정한 상관성을 보인다. 에너지 원단위만으로 에너지효율 여부를 판단하는 것은 오류가 있을 수 있다. 특히 방사선 효율에 의한 에너지효율은 대부분의 국가의 에너지효율을 과대평가하는 경향이 있다. 둘째, OECD 국가들이 프론티어 상의 효율적인 생산점에서도 불필요하게 에너지를 소비하는 것이 연평균 17.3%이므로 에너지의 추가 저감이 필요하다. 셋째, OECD 국가의 경제성장에 대한 에너지 탄력성의 평균은 1.1로서 거의 단위 탄력성에 가깝다. 탄력성의 국가별 차이는 존재하고 탄력성이 높은 국가의 에너지수요는 높다.

People have been using more energy in the last years. Several research studies were conducted to develop sustainable energy sources that can produce clean energy to fulfill our energy requirements. Using renewable energy sources helps to decrease the harm to the environment caused by conventional power plants. Choosing the right location and capacity for DG-RESs can greatly impact the performance of Radial Distribution Systems. It is beneficial to have a good and stable electrical power supply with low energy waste and high effectiveness because it improves the performance and reliability of the system. This research investigates the ideal location and size for solar and wind power systems, which are popular methods for producing clean electricity. A new artificial intelligent algorithm called Nutcracker Optimization Algorithm (NOA) is used to find the best solution in two common electrical systems named IEEE 33 and 69 bus systems to examine the improvement in the efficiency & reliability of power system network by reducing power losses, making voltage deviation smaller, and improving voltage stability. Finally, the NOA method is compared with another method called PSO and developed Hybrid Algorithm (NOA+PSO) to validate the proposed algorithm effectiveness and enhancement of both efficiency and reliability aspects.

고주파 대역에서 삽입 손실을 최소화 하면서 고출력을 견딜 수 있는 결합기에 대해서 연구하였다. 특히, Ku 대역 이상에서는 단위소자 당 낼 수 있는 출력 전력이 저주파 대역에 비해 매우 낮기 때문에, 고출력 SSPA를 만들기 위해서는 많은 반도체 소자를 결합해야만 한다. 마이크로스트립과 같은 평면 결합기는 결합하는 소자의 개수가 증가하면 비례적으로 삽입 손실이 증가하여 전체 시스템 효율이 떨어지고 발열량도 높아지게 된다. 또한 평면 결합기는 낮은 전력 내구성에 따른 문제도 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 개선하고자 본 논문에서는 cavity radial combiner를 제안하였다. Ku 대역 16-way cavity radial combiner를 제작하여 측정한 결과, 설계 대역에서 반사손실 14 dB 이하, 94.5 % 이상의 출력결합 효율을 얻었다.

In biomass gasification, efficiency of energy quantification is a difficult part without finishing the process. In this article, a radial basis function neural network (RBFN) is proposed to predict biomass efficiency before gasification. RBFN will be compared with a principal component regression (PCR) and a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPN). Due to the high dimensionality of data, principal component transform is first used in PCR and afterwards, ordinary regression is applied to selected principal components for modeling. Multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPN) is also used without any preprocessing. For this research, 3 wood samples and 3 other feedstock are used and they are near infrared (NIR) spectrum data with high-dimensionality. Ash and char are used as response variables. The comparison results of two responses will be shown.

In this paper, shape optimization based on three-dimensional flow analysis has been performed for impeller design of centrifugal compressor. To evaluate the objective function of an isentropic efficiency, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model. The governing equations are discretized by finite volume approximations. The optimization techniques based on the radial basis neural network method are used for the optimization. Latin hypercube sampling as design of experiments is used to generate thirty design points within design space. Sequential quadratic programming is used to search the optimal point based on the radial basis neural network model. Four geometrical variables concerning impeller shape are selected as design variables. The results show that the isentropic efficiency is enhanced effectively from the shape optimization by the radial basis neural network method.

Then, for supplying basic knowledge on pump design, pressure, flow and leakage characteristics of the pump assembly under the variations of major design parameters are investigated through numerical simulations. At the end, key design parameters influencing upon volumetric efficiency of the pump are listed.
