The general cooling tower is a device for making a cooling water in refrigerant condensers or industrial process heat exchangers. The present cooling tower have defects with noises, complicated structure and environmental problems. In this paper, we constituted a new water cooling system by using a evaporating latent heat in an enclosed tank, and this system is consisted of an enclosed vacuum tank and water driving ejector system. Several experimental cases were carried out for improvement methods of high vacuum pressure and water cooling characteristics. The ejector performance was tested in case of water temperature variations that flows in the ejector. Based on the vacuum pressure by water driving ejector, the water cooling characteristics were investigated for the vaporized air condensing effects.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been well known as electron emitters for field emission applications like FEDs. In this work, we propose as new application a vacuum sensor using CNTs and discuss its current-voltage characteristics as a function of vacuum pressure. The proposed sensor, based on electrical discharge theories in air gap well-known as Townsend theory and as Paschen's law, works by figuring out the variation of the dark current and the initial breakdown voltage depending on the vacuum pressure of air which can ionize through collisions with the electrons accelerated by high electric field.

We conducted the experiment to analyze characteristics of micro-nozzle using different cold gas under two different nozzle expansion ratios in low vacuum condition. We measured thrust and chamber pressure and mass flow rate under low vacuum condition, and then compared them with those in ambient pressure.

The suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner was modified to enhance the power performance and to reduce the airflow-induced acoustic noise. The suction power efficiencies of the vacuum cleaner were measured for various nozzles; (1) original nozzle, (2) original nozzle with modified trench height, (3) original nozzle with modified connecting chamber, and (4) a combination of (2) and (3). In addition, the suction pressure and sound pressure level around the suction nozzle were measured to validate the reduction of acoustic noise. The power efficiency and mean suction pressure increased when the trench height of the suction nozzle was increased. This was attributed to the suppression of the flow separation in the suction channel. Modification of the connecting chamber in the original nozzle, which had an abrupt contraction from a rectangular chamber into a circular pipe, into a smooth converging contraction substantially improved the suction flow into the connecting pipe. When both modifications were applied simultaneously, the resulting suction nozzle was more effective from the viewpoints of aerodynamic power increase and sound pressure level reduction.

KSTAR ICRF 안테나의 진공특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 제작된 안테나를 총 유효배기속도 1015 l/s의 진공펌프가 장착된 시험용 진공용기에 설치하였으며, 고주파 시험하기 전에 시간에 따른 압력 변화, 총기체 부하, 도달 진공도 등을 측정하였다. 낮은 출력의 고주파를 반복적으로 인가함으로서 세정 효과를 확인하였다. 안테나에 고주파를 인가하여 시험하는 동안 진공도 변화를 측정하였으며, 압력 상승에 의해 방전이 유발되는 한계 압력을 조사하였다. 본 안테나의 경우 고주파 인가 중에 진공용기의 압력이 $10^{-4}$ mbar 이상이 되면 방전이 일어났다. 장펄스 시험에서 안테나의 온도와 시험용 진공용기의 압력을 측정하여 안테나를 냉각하지 않은 상태에서 운전이 가능한 전압을 조사하였으며, 냉각했을 때의 결과와 비교하였다.

기존 성토재하 방식의 연약지반 개량공법에서 제기된 여러 가지 문제에 의해 진공압 재하방식의 개량공법이 개발되었으며, 국내 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 현장에서의 침하관리시 동일한 하중을 재하하였을 경우의 진공압재하공법과 성토재하공법에 대한 침하량 비교 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 두 공법의 발생침하량에 관한 이론 및 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 연약지반 개량을 위해 진공압이 적용되면 내향의 수평변위가 발생하고 동일한 하중재하 대비 침하량이 감소하였다. Hooke의 탄성이론을 바탕으로 한 경우 0.54~0.67, 국내 설계기준에서는 0.50~0.75, 과거 국내 시공사례를 바탕으로 한 경우 0.91, 실내시험을 바탕으로 한 경우 0.81, 탄성론과 체적압축계수법을 바탕으로 한 경우 0.75, 최근 국내 대심도 시공 사례의 경우 0.77~0.93의 범위를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

초음파 변환기의 기체 음향임피던스 변화를 이용해서 압력진공 측정기술을 연구하였다. 상용화된 한 쌍의 500 kHz 공중 초음파 변환기(air-coupled ultrasonic transducer)를 진공용기에 넣고 초음파 진폭을 측정하였다. 그 결과 6.66 kPa에서 202.65 kPa (약 2기압)까지 4회 반복 측정값으로부터 계산된 표준편차는 0.0093에서부터 0.3325 사이에 있었으며, 표준편차를 압력으로 나누어서 백분율로 나타낸 값은 133.32 kPa에서 0.018%이었고 202.65 kPa에서는 0.164%이었다.

Conventional methods for preparing ceramic bodies, such as cold isostatic pressing, gypsum-mold slip casting, and filter pressing are not completely suitable for fabricating large and thick ceramic plates owing to disadvantages of these processes, such as the high cost of the equipment, the formation of density gradients, and differential shrinkage during drying. These problems can be avoided by employing a pressure-vacuum hybrid slip casting approach that considers not only by the compression of the aqueous slip in the casting room (pressure slip casting) but also the vacuum sucking of the dispersion medium (water) around the mold (vacuum slip casting). We prepared the alumina formed bodies by means of pressure-vacuum hybrid slip casting with stepwise pressure loading up to 0.5 MPa using a slip consisting of 40 vol% solid, 0.6 wt% APC, 1 wt% PEG, and 1 wt% PVA. After drying the green body at $30^{\circ}C$ and 80% RH, the green density of the alumina bodies was about 56% RD. The sintered density of an alumina plate created by means of sintering at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 4 h exceeded 99.8%.This method enabled us to fabricate a $110{\times}110{\times}20$ mm alumina plate without cracks and with a homogeneous density, thus demonstrating the possibility of extending the method to the fabrication of other ceramic products.

A mathematical model and control laws for an Electronic-Vacuum Booster (EVB) for application to vehicle cruise control will be presented. Also this paper includes performance test result of EVB and vehicle cruise control experiments. The pressure difference between the vacuum chamber and the apply chamber is controlled by a PWM-solenoid-valve. Since the pressure at the vacuum chamber is identical to that of the engine intake manifold, the output of the electronic-vacuum booster Is sensitive to engine speed. The performance characteristics of the electronic-vacuum booster have been investigated via computer simulations and vehicle tests. The mathematical model of the electronic-vacuum booster developed in this study and a two-state dynamic engine model have been used in the simulations. It has been shown by simulations and vehicle tests that the EVB-cruise control system can provide a vehicle with good distance control performance in both high speed and low speed stop and go driving situations.
