A surge phenomenon cause noise and pulsations in a turbo compressor, which is an unstable operating regime. Because surge protection ensures a safe compressor operation, it is important to understand the physics of the surge phenomenon. In this study, the surge characteristics of a 250-hp class turbo-compressor were evaluated experimentally. The experimental parameters were the rotational speed, opening angles of the inlet guide vane and exit valve, and inlet pipe diameter and flow rates of the inlet gases. The results showed that the compressor surge was very sensitive to the gas flow rates, exit pressure, rotational speed, and bypass flow rates.

Since 4-bar linkage widely used in various industrial fields has a fixed link length, it is inconvenient to add an independent link structure or control device to change the movement of output link. Therefore, this paper proposes a new concept of variable 4-bar linkage mechanism to selectively adjust the movement of the output link to fit desired situations, and applied to the commercial table fans, which is a representative product using a 4-bar linkage system. The optimal rotation angle steps for efficiency are determined experimentally and the appropriate lengths of linkage to fit each step are calculated analytically. Changes in the linkage length are implemented by the rotational motion using a grooved cylindrical cam and the feasibility of the proposed variable linkage mechanism is verified through fabrication and measurement. The presented variable link mechanism is expected to improve the efficiency of industrial robots and fuel valve systems.

In this experimental study, we examined gas engine characteristics of a small high-speed engine in various ways. And we studied performance of natural gas, hydrogen gas and gasoline fuel engines, as emission characteristics and process of combustion. For the purpose of preventing back-fire occurred in case of high-speed and high load in hydrogen engine, we controlled air quantity by installing throttle valve in gas fuel engine. We performed experiment by mixing nitrogen to hydrogen fuel. As a result, we could find out characteristics which of a high speed small engine by applying gas fuels.

This paper discusses the development of a personal compact oxygen generator for portable and mobility. The compact oxygen generator is operated with vacuum swing absorption by compact vacuum pump. The components of oxygen generator is composed on the miniaturization and weight reduction, and it is optimized by discharge pump speed, nozzle diameter and 3-way valve interval. In 0.5mm of nozzle diameter, $O_2$ concentration is approximately 37%, and flow rate is $1{\ell}$/min. On the 30cm away from the nozzle, $O_2$ concentration is increased approximately 0.5%.

화력발전소 보일러의 급수량은 유출되는 증기량에 맞추어 자동 조절된다. 유출 증기량이 변하는 상황에서도 이에 상응하는 급수량은 실시간으로 조절되어야 한다. 증기량과 급수량에 차이가 있으면 보일러의 보유 수량과 드럼의 수위가 변하게 되므로, '드림수위를 일정하게 유지하는 것'이 급수량제어의 목표라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 실제 운용되고 있는 설비를 대상으로 고찰한 내용이며, 급수펌프 구동력으로는 중기터빈을 사용한다. 증기터빈과 급수펌프는 같은 축으로 연결되어있으며, 급수량 조절은 급수펌프의 회전속도를 제어함으로써 이루어진다. 터빈에 사응되는 증기는, 고압과 저압 2종류이며, 저압 증기가 부족한 경우에 고압증기를 사용하는 구성으로 되어있다. 증기 밸브의 유량 특성에는 비선형성을 많이 포함하고 있었다. 이 외에도 급수펌프가 갖는 비선형성을 분석하였으며, 이 특성들을 모두 종합한 '증기터빈 속도제어기 튜닝 곡선'을 제시하였다

This study represents effect of exhaust performance by according to active muffler valve spring. The experimental parameter were divided engine speed and torsion coil spring constant. The sound pressure level was generally low at engine speed 2000-2500rpm but That was showed the lowest at spring constant k=0.75. Flow speed of exhaust gas was showed the fast at spring constant k=0.75 but the low value was showed at k=0.97. It was contained a rather low concentration of carbon monoxide(CO) at engine speed 2000-2500rpm and k=0.81, low concentration of hydrocarbon(HC) at spring constant k=0.81 but that was high at spring constant k=0.97. A conclusion based on FFT analysis was generally low concentration value at k=0.79 and k=0.81. The temperature distributions into the muffler was shown similar conditions. Heat transfer was well spreaded at thermocouple No.8 because valve was opened.

This paper presents the capacity-control characteristics in an industrial cooler with a variable speed compressor. The inverter-type compressor is controlled by the rotational speed of the operational frequency. This type of the compressor performs the wide range of load compared to the on-off type. When the load of the system reduces, the rotational speed will be reduced. Thus, the system leads to the less power consumption and extends the longer durability of the compressor. With the variable rotational speed of the compressor the cooling capacity of the cooler is about 1.6-3.6 kW and the capacity control is about 40-100%. The system showed the highest efficiency when the rotational speed is about 45-70 Hz. The results can be used as the basic design data to control an industrial cooler.

An experimental study on the effects of exhaust pipe curvature on the performance of a diesel engine is presented. The experiments were carried out on a 4-cycle, 216 c.c diesel engine and two types of pipe curvature, circular arc and rectangle, were tested. The shaft output, shaft torque and specific fuel consumption were obtained by inserting bent pipes of different dimensions into the exhaust pipe at various engine operation conditions. It was found that the engine performance was decreased by the circular arc bent pipe and the effects were dominated by its arc angle. The decrease of engine performance was minimized by the arc angle of 180.deg.. By the rectangle pipes the performance was more decreased and the effects were little influenced by its dimensions.

Atmospheric pressure in a tunnel rises in proportion to the square of train’s speed as it enters a tunnel. This pressure difference propagates into the train and cause aural discomfort to the passengers. In order to alleviate the aural discomfort of them. a new ventilation system has been designed and tested. This system controls the charged and discharged by flow rate by detecting the air pressure generated outside and inside of the train. Test to confirm the fundamental performance of the system was carried out. Consequently, this system was found to be able to alleviate the aural discomfort effectively. Application of the system to TGV-K running in the speed range of 350km/h is considered to have good propospect.

본 연구에서는 화강토 지반상의 자립식 diaphragm wall의 거동을 연구하기 위하여 벽체의 근입깊이비, 지하수위 및 굴착조건(연속 및 단계굴착)을 변화시키면서 원심모형시럼을 수행하였다. 원심모형실험시 지반굴착은 흙과 동일한 밀도로 혼합된 zine chloride 용액이 배수되도록 밸브를 조작하여 실시하였으며, 굴착에 의해 발생되는 지반의 변형괴 벽체의 변위 및 휨모멘트를 시간경과에 따라 측정하였다. 실험결과, 벽체의 근입깊이비가 증가함에 따라 벽체의 휨모멘트는 증가하는 반면, 굴착과정동안 배면측에서의 간극수압 감소속도는 감소하였다. 최종 굴착단계에서 굴착후 시간경과에 따른 침하량은 굴착과정중의 침하？에 비해 5~7% 정도를 나타내었다. 최대표면침하량과 벽체변위를 굴착깊이로 정규화한 결과 최대 침하량은 벽체 변위량의 0.8~1.2배9평균0.91배)사이에 분포하였다. 굴착깊이로 전규화한 벽체변위와 근입깊이와의 관계는 지수함수식으로 제안하였다. 파괴면은 직선적인 형태로 파괴면내의 배면측 지반은 벽체를 향하여 하향의 변위를 일으키면서 벽체의 회전에 의해 파괴되었으며, 퐈괴면의 각도는 66~72.5$^{\circ}$정도로 이론적인 파괴면의 각도보다 크게 평가되었다.
