The blower erosion phenomenon was investigated to develop a long-life blower with a volume flow rate of 10,000 ㎥/min with the required total pressure efficiency of 83% or more. The blower performance and blower erosion were predicted through numerical analysis by computational fluid dynamics(CFD). The conditions used for numerical analysis were an air volume of 16,200 ㎥/min, a rotation speed of 893 rpm, and a temperature of 330℃. The specific gravity, particle size, and amount of the dust was 3.15, 90 ㎛~212 ㎛, and is 265 kg/min, respectively. To examine the effects of a dust deflector on erosion, erosion analysis was performed by comparing the models with and without a dust deflector. Numerical analysis showed that when the dust deflector is installed, the average tended to decrease by 167% in the impeller and 133% in the boss. CFD using the Finne's model for erosion revealed a parallel restitution coefficient of 1 and a perpendicular restitution coefficient of 0.1. The blower performance of case 5 was 691.7 mmAq, and the efficiency was 83.3% when the rotation speed and the air volume flow rate were 880 rpm and 16,200 ㎥/min, respectively.

This study attempted to develop a bodice prototype that is the basis for the production of upper body clothing for 20s plus-size women who have distinct characteristics from women with general body types. Through this, it was intended to provide basic data necessary for the development of plus-size women's clothing, which is revitalizing the market due to the increase in the obese population. Through the first evaluation of appearance and abdominal pressure, patterns such as moving the side neck, adding the amount of armhole dart, and adding the amount of sagging were modified. Through the second evaluation, corrections such as vertical side lines, reduction of the neck of the back center line, and adding the amount of armhole darts were performed. Through the third evaluation, the final pattern drafting method was developed by vertically modifying the side line and adding the amount of back armhole darts. In the case of 20s plus-size female body types, a drafting method distinguished from the general body type was required in the method of setting the side and hem due to the protrusion of the abdomen. This study can be said to be meaningful in that it proposed a bodice prototype drafting method suitable for the body type of 20s plus-size women. In the follow-up study, it is thought that the wearability should be evaluated through actual garment wearing.

Autonomous fire detection and suppression system requires advanced technology for complex detection technology and injection/control technology for accurate hitting by fire location. Also, foam spraying should be included to respond to oil fires. However, when a single spray monitor is used in common, water and foam spray properties appear different, so for accurate fire suppression, research on the spray trajectory and distance will be required. In this study, experimental studies and numerical analysis studies were combined to analyze the foam spray characteristics through the spray monitor developed for the establishment of an autonomous fire extinguishing system. For flow analysis of foam injection, modeling was performed using OpenFOAM analysis software, and the commonly used foaming agent (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) was applied for foam properties. The injection distance analysis was performed according to the injection pressure and the injection angle according to the form of the foam, and at the same time, the results were verified and presented through the injection experiment.

The optimal design for water distribution system (WDS) is not only satisfying the minimum required water pressure of the nodes, but also minimizing pipe cost, etc. The number of designs of WDS increases exponentially due to the arrangement of various pipes. Various optimization algorithms were applied to propose an optimized design of WDS. In this study, Modified Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (MHVCA) with improved self-adapting parameter was applied to optimal design of WDS. The performance was improved by changing the Hybrid Rate (HR) of the existing Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA) to nonlinear HR. To verify the performance of the proposed MHVCA, it applied to mathematical problems consisting of 2 and 30 decision variables and constrained mathematical problems. In order to review the application results of MHVCA, it was compared with Harmony Search (HS), Improved Harmony Search (IHS), Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA) and HVCA. Finally, MHVCA was applied to the optimal design problem of WDS and the results were compared with other algorithms. MHVCA showed better results than other algorithms in mathematical problems and WDS problem. MHVCA will be able to show good results by applying to various water resource engineering problems as well as problems applied in this study.

A policy to expand the hydrogen economy has been established in Korea and the supply of FCEV is being expanded to realize a hydrogen society. Therefore, the supply of FCEV is expected to increase rapidly, and a solution to respond to accidents of FCEV is required. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to analyze the effect of the hydrogen jet flame generated by a FCEV on the inner wall of the tunnel and the characteristics of the internal radiant heat. For the experiment, the initial pressure of hydrogen tank was set to 700 bar, and the injection nozzle diameter was set to 1.8 mm in order to make the same as the conditions generated in the FCEV. In addition, a tunnel fire resistance test specimen having the same strength as the compressive strength of concrete applied to general tunnels of 40 MPa was manufactured and used in the experiment. The results were analyzed for the separation distance (2 m and 4 m) between the hydrogen release nozzle and the tunnel fire resistance test concrete. As the result, the maximum internal temperature of the test concrete was measured to 1,349.9℃ (2 m separation distance), and the radiant heat around the jet flame was up to 39.16 kW/m².

Background: Surgical repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) to the superior vena cava (SVC) using the Warden procedure has favorable outcomes. However, there remain some concerns after the Warden procedure, such as sinoatrial nodal dysfunction and systemic or pulmonary venous stenosis. We investigated the outcomes of the Warden procedure for repair of PAPVR to the SVC. Methods: This retrospective study included 22 consecutive patients who underwent the Warden procedure for PAPVR between 2002 and 2018. The median age and body weight at operation were 27.5 months (interquartile range [IQR], 5.0-56.8 months) and 13.2 kg (IQR, 6.5-16.0 kg), respectively. The median follow-up duration was 6.2 years (IQR, 3.5-11.6 years). Results: There were no cases of early or late mortality. No patients had postoperative heart rhythm problems, except 1 patient who showed transient sinoatrial nodal dysfunction in the immediate postoperative period. Procedure-related complications requiring reintervention occurred in 5 patients, including 3 of 4 SVC stenosis cases and 2 pulmonary venous stenosis cases during follow-up. The rate of freedom from reintervention related to the Warden procedure was 75.9% at 10 years. Conclusion: In cases requiring extension or creation of an atrial septal defect to achieve a sufficient venous pathway, or interposition of an entire circumferential conduit between the SVC and right atrium due to the shortness of the SVC in the Warden procedure, stenotic complications of the venous pathway occurred. Careful observation of changes in the pressure gradient or anatomical stenosis is required in such patients.

The electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) recently has been used in flight control fields for aircraft because of its benefits of minimizing oil leakage and weight, improving safety, and etc. while independently operating the hydraulic power source and eliminating complex hydraulic piping. The aircraft of which EHA is installed inside, has the thermal management issue of EHA, because of its limited cooling source as compared with the aircraft which installs the traditional central hydraulic system. So, the thermal analysis model which predicts the thermal characteristics of EHA, is required to resolve this thermal management issue. In this study, an oil circulation circuit inside the hydraulic power module comprised of hydraulic pump and electrical motor for EHA was applied. This is for the purpose of developing the internal rotary group of hydraulic power module, which operates under the conditions of high rotation speed and hydraulic pressure. After formulating an appropriate thermal analysis model, the thermal analysis results with oil cooled or no oil cooled hydraulic control module were compared and reviewed, for the purpose of predicting the thermal characteristics of EHA.

Prior to proposing appropriate standard for subway station platform, this study conducted field measurements to examine characteristics of room acoustics on platform of two subway stations. As a result of analyzing the longitudinal length of the platform, Sound Pressure Level (SPL) decreased (maximum difference : 14 dB), Reverberation Time (RT) tended to increase (maximum difference of 0.8 s ~ 1.5 s), and C50 and D50 were decreased (maximum difference: 5.9 dB ~ 9.1 dB and 31.8 % ~ 37.6 %, respectively) as measurement positions moved away from the sound source. The Interaural Cross-correlation Coefficient (IACC) did not show clear tendency, but it was lower than 0.3 in entire points. It is judged that the subway platform has non-uniform sound field characteristics due to various combinations of direct and reflective sound even though it is finished with a strong reflective material.This indicates that the room acoustic characteristics of the near and far sound field are clearly expressed depending on the source-receiver distances in the subway platform having a long flat shape with a low height compared to the length.Therefore, detailed architectural and electric acoustic design based on the characteristics of each location of speaker and sound receiver in the platform is required for an acoustic design with clear sound information at all positions of the platform.

This study is planned with the aim of developing a systematic construction process based on the scientific and engineering theory of the water-sealing grouting construction applied to the tunnel excavation process during the construction of the downtown underground traffic network, so that the construction quality of the relatively backward domestic tunnel water-sealing grouting construction is improved and continuously maintained no matter who constructs it. The main contents of the improved tunnel water-sealing grouting can be largely examined in the classification of tunnel water-sealing grouting application and the definition of grouting materials, the correlation analysis of groundwater pressure conditions with groundwater inflow, the study of the characteristic factors of bedrock, and the element technologies and injection management techniques required for grouting construction. Looking at the trends in global research, research in the field of theoretical-based science and engineering grouting is actively progressing in Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, etc.), Japan, Germany, and the United States. Therefore, in this study, the algorithm is established through theoretical analysis of the elements of tunnel water-sealing grouting construction techniques to provide an integrated solution including a construction process that can effectively construct tunnel water-sealing grouting construction.

A conventional seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and a forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) hybrid process to produce 1,000 m³/d of fresh water, were designed and compared in terms of carbon emission. When FO was adapted for the osmotic dilution, the required pressure for RO decreases, and thus energy consumption decreases. The decrease in carbon emission by decreased energy consumption (up to -0.73 kgCO₂/m³ using coal as the energy source) was compared with the increase in carbon emission by the FO system (+0.16 kgCO₂/m³), which is a function of various factors such as the number of FO modules and energy consumption. The comparison revealed that the FO-RO process causes less carbon emission compared with the SWRO process when the energy sources are coal and oil. However, if energy sources with low carbon emission such as solar, wind, and nuclear energy are selected, the carbon emission of the FO-RO process becomes higher than that of the SWRO process. This implies that the type of energy source is a key factor to determine the necessity of the FO-RO process from the aspect of carbon emission.
