This paper presents an application of parallel Genetic Algorithm-Tabu Search(GA-TS) algorithm to search an optimal solution of a reconfiguration in distribution system. The aim of the reconfiguration of distribution systems is to determine switch position to be opened for loss minimization in the radial distribution systems, which is a discrete optimization problem. This problem has many constraints and very difficult to solve the optimal switch position because it has many local minima. This paper develops parallel GA-TS algorithm for reconfiguration of distribution systems. In parallel GA-TS, GA operators are executed for each processor. To prevent solution of low fitness from appearing in the next generation, strings below the average fitness are saved in the tabu list. If best fitness of the GA is not changed for several generations, TS operators are executed for the upper 10% of the population to enhance the local searching capabilities. With migration operation, best string of each node is transferred to the neighboring node aster predetermined iterations are executed. For parallel computing, we developed a PC-cluster system consisting of 8 PCs. Each PC employs the 2 GHz Pentium Ⅳ CPU and is connected with others through ethernet switch based fast ethernet. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, developed algorithm has been tested and compared on a distribution systems in the reference paper. From the simulation results, we can find that the proposed algorithm is efficient and robust for the reconfiguration of distribution system in terms of the solution qualify. speedup. efficiency and computation time.

In this paper, a disk-type ultrasonic motor using a combination of radial and bending vibration modes is newly designed and fabricated. The characteristics of the test motor are also measured. By means of traveling elastic wave induced at the surface of circumference of the elastic disk, a steel bar in contact with the surface of circumference of the elastic disk bonded onto the piezoelectric ceramic disks is driven in both directions by changing the sine and cosine voltage inputs. The stator of the motor is composed of two sheets of piezoelectric ceramic disks to bond onto both surfaces of an elastic disk, respectively. As a result, the diameter of the elastic body is increased and the resonant frequency is decreased. The resonant frequency of the stator is about 92 kHz, which is composed with piezoelectric ceramic disks of 28 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness, and an elastic body of 32 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness. A driving voltage of 20 VPP Produces 200 rpm with a torque of 1Nm and an efficiency of about 10%.

최근 가정용 에어컨은 냉방효율뿐 아니라 소음에 대한 중요성이 지속적으로 높아지고 있다. 로터리 압축기는 에어컨의 소음 중 매우 높은 영향도를 가지고 있으며, 압축기의 소음을 줄이기 위해 머플러 및 공명기에 관한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 압축기의 부품 중 어큐뮬레이터는 큰 용적으로 인해 공명에 의한 추가 소음을 에어컨에 전달하는 소음 전달경로가 되며, 어큐뮬레이터의 내부구조는 소음저감을 위해 중요한 설계요소가 되나 지금까지는 연구결과가 미비한 수준이었다. 본 논문에서는 어큐뮬레이터의 소음 저감을 위해 목표주파수 대역에서의 투과손실이 최대가 되는 설계최적화를 수행하였다. 높은 비선형성을 가진 문제의 최적화를 위해 실험계획법과 반경기저신경망기법을 이용한 근사 모델을 사용하였으며, 유전알고리즘을 사용한 최적화를 수행하였다.

난류전단 흐름에서의 기포 크기분포를 예측하기 위하여 개발된 Monte-Carlo 모의모형을 실험실 크기의 문제에 적용하였다. 각종 모형 매개변수 및 물리적 변수들에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였으며, 실험 관측치와의 비교를 통하여 모형의 실제 적용성에 관하여 조사하였다. 공기와 물의 유량비 또는 마찰계수가 증가함에 따라 기포의 크기가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 평균유속이 증가함에 따라 가포의 크기는 작아지지만, 폭기구간내 기포의 총표면적은 거의 일정함을 보였다. 모형의 종방향 거리증분에 따른 기포 크기분포의 변화는 거의 없었으며, 횡방향 거리중분을 크게 할수록 기포가 크거나 작은 쪽으로 치우쳐 중간정도의 크기를 갖는 기포의 수가 감소하였다. 기포의 크기분포는 그 초기분포 및 공기의 주입위치에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 기포의 충돌과 응집을 구분하기 위하여 충돌효율을 도입하였다.

The goal of this study is to fill this apparent gap in the area about investigating the effect of porosity distributions on vibrational behavior of FG sectorial plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation. The response of the elastic medium is formulated by the Winkler/Pasternak model. The internal pores and graphene platelets (GPLs) are distributed in the matrix either uniformly or non-uniformly according to three different patterns. The model is proposed with material parameters varying in the thickness of plate to achieve graded distributions in both porosity and nanofillers. The elastic modulus of the nanocomposite is obtained by using Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. The annular sector plate is assumed to be simply supported in the radial edges while any arbitrary boundary conditions are applied to the other two circular edges including simply supported, clamped and free. The 2-D differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical approach is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. The convergence of the method is demonstrated and to validate the results, comparisons are made between the present results and those reported by well-known references for special cases treated before, have confirmed accuracy and efficiency of the present approach. It is observed that the maximum vibration frequency obtained in the case of symmetric porosity and GPL distribution, while the minimum vibration frequency is obtained using uniform porosity distribution. Results show that for better understanding of mechanical behavior of nanocomposite plates, it is crucial to consider porosities inside the material structure.

액체로켓용 터보펌프의 설계과정에서 정확한 성능예측을 위해서 인듀서, 임펠러, 볼류트, 실 등의 펌프의 모든 부분을 포함한 유동해석을 수행하였다. 계산시간을 줄이기 위해서 인듀서와 임펠러는 주기조건을 사용하여 하나의 블레이드 통로만 해석하였으며, 인듀서와 임펠러, 임펠러와 볼류트 등의 상호작용은 정상적 해석법인 혼합면 기법을 사용하였다. 펌프의 모든 부분을 포함한 계산을 통하여 인듀서, 임펠러, 볼류트 등의 단독 유동해석을 통해서는 예측할 수 없는 펌프설계의 매우 중요한 부분인 축추력 등을 예측할 수 있었으며, 각 부품이 전체 성능에 미치는 영향을 자세히 파악할 수 있었다. 계산결과를 실험결과와 비교하였는데, 양정, 효율, 볼류트 외벽 압력분포 등에서 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 또한 실험으로 검증하지는 못하였지만, 축추력, 반경방향 힘 등의 예측값도 설계요구조건을 만족시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 펌프의 전부분을 포함한 유동해석법은 터보펌프의 설계 및 성능예측에 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper deals with the influence of leakage flow existing in SHF pump model on the analysis of internal flow behaviour inside the vane diffuser of the pump model performance using both experiments and calculations. PIV measurements have been performed at different hub to shroud planes inside one diffuser channel passage for a given speed of rotation and various flow rates. For each operating condition, the PIV measurements have been trigged with different angular impeller positions. The performances and the static pressure rise of the diffuser were also measured using a three-hole probe. The numerical simulations were carried out with Star CCM+ 9.06 code (RANS frozen and unsteady calculations). Some results were already presented at the XXth IAHR Symposium for three flowrates for RANS frozen and URANS calculations. In the present paper, comparisons between URANS calculations with and without leakages and experimental results are presented and discussed for these flow rates. The performances of the diffuser obtained by numerical calculations are compared to those obtained by the three-holes probe measurements. The comparisons show the influence of fluid leakages on global performances and a real improvement concerning the efficiency of the diffuser, the pump and the velocity distributions. These results show that leakage is an important parameter that has to be taken into account in order to make improved comparisons between numerical approaches and experiments in such a specific model set up.

Generally the fluid flows within the centrifugal impeller passage as a decelerating flow with an adverse pressure gradient along the stream wise path. This flow tends to be in a state of instability with flow separation zones on the suction surface and on the front shroud. Hence several experimental attempts were earlier made to assess the efficacy of using boundary layer fences to trip the flow in the regions of separation and to make the flow align itself into stream wise direction so that the losses could be minimized and overall efficiency of the diffusion process in the fan could be increased. With the development of CFD, an extensive numerical whole field analysis of the effect of boundary layer fences in discrete regions of suspected separation points is possible. But it is found from the literature that there have been no significant attempts to use this tool to explore numerically the utility of the fences on the flow field. This paper attempts to explore the effect of boundary layer fences corresponding to various geometrical configurations on the impeller as well as on the diffuser. It is shown from the analysis that the fences located on the impellers near the trailing edge on pressure side and suction side improves the static pressure recovery across the fan. Fences provided at the radial mid-span on the pressure side of the diffuser vane and near the leading edge and trailing edge of the suction side of diffuser vanes also improve the static pressure recovery across the fan.
