This study was done to develop indicators for cities that can be used in the long term and in a sustainable manner. Activation indicators were developed to improve the resilience in the downtown area of Seo-gu, Incheon. Preliminary indicators were derived from prior studies on similar indicators of resilience for urban regeneration, and an expert opinion survey was conducted to analyze the suitability and importance of the indicators. Activation indicators were established for improving urban resilience in six areas: population stability, social inclusion, industrial diversity, local productivity, environmental sustainability, and social-based convenience. From 60 preliminary indicators, 42 indicators were selected through the expert opinion surveys for securing an economically active population, establishing a living infrastructure, improving the settlement environment, and upgrading industry to reflect the characteristics of the West, including industrial complexes. It was found that diversification is necessary. Further study is still necessary to improve the objectivity of the indicators and calculate a resilience index. The significance of this study is that it looks at quantitative indicators, complements other studies on regional decline diagnosis, and presents realistic alternatives suitable for domestic situations based on the concept of resilience.

본 연구에서는 SOFC 시스템 설계기술 개발을 위한 기초 연구로서 전산해석을 이용한 SOFC 성능예측 기법을 개발하였다. 기본설계 단계에서 SOFC의 성능을 개략적으로 예측할 수 있는 1차원 예측 모델을 정립하였으며, 온도, 조성, 전해질, 전극 두께 등을 비롯한 다양한 조건 변화에 따른 성능예측을 수행하여 실험값과 비교한 결과 최대전력밀도 조건에서 23%의 오차를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Stack 제작단계에서 다양한 운전조건과 형상변화에 따른 SOFC 성능 변화를 예측할 수 있는 3차원 해석기법을 정립하였으며, 최대전력밀도에서 5.1%의 오차를 보였다. 포괄적인 열 및 물질 전달 현상과 전기화학반응을 3차원적으로 해석함으로써 보다 정확한 예측이 가능하였다. 또한 수소와 적당량의 수분을 함께 공급할 경우 SOFC 성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발된 기술을 활용할 경우 시제품 제작 전에 전지시스템의 성능을 미리 예측할 수 있으므로, 향후 제품 개발시 제작비용 절감과 설계기간 단축에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Following the recent trends of reducing the size of multimedia devices, we tried for the development of a compact-sized speaker to produce low-frequency sounds efficiently. For this work, equivalent-circuit analysis was used to get fundamental resonant frequency and then the structure of speaker components has been changed appropriately. As a result, an 80mm small-sized speaker was developed. The performance test showed that the resonant frequency of our system is 79 Hz while that of numerical analysis was 81Hz. At a distance of 1m from our speaker, the frequency ranges 80 Hz to 15kHz and the average sound pressure was found to be 84±2 dB. The second (at 400 Hz) and the third (at 100 Hz) high-frequency distortions of our system were 0.5% and 1.8% respectively, which is to be compared with the distortions of 0.9% and 6% in conventional speakers.

Geothermal energy is gaining wide attention as a highly efficient renewable energy and being increasingly used for heating/cooling systems of buildings. The standing column well (SCW) is especially efficient, cost-effective, and suitable for Korean geological and hydrological conditions. However, a numerical model that simulates the SCW has not yet been developed and applied in Korea. This paper describes the development of the SCW numerical model using a finite-volume analysis program. The model, through hydro-thermal coupled analyses, simulates heat transfer through advection, convection, and conduction. The accuracy of the model was verified through comparisons with field data measured at SCWs in the U.S. and Korea. Comparisons indicated that the SCW numerical model can closely predict the performance of a SCW. The numerical model was used to perform a comprehensive parametric study in the companion paper.

Open channel type regenerative pump has been used in various industrial fields. It generates high pressure with low flow rate. However, it has low efficiency because of its complex flow pattern, We studied performance experiments and 3D numerical flow analysis of a regenerative pump. Through the numerical analysis, we could get the internal flow pattern and profile of a regenerative pump. Also, we examined leakage flow effects due to the gap between casing and impeller and stripper clearance. For the numerical analysis verification, we performed experiments and they had similar tendency at the design point.

개별 대수층에 냉수와 온수를 저장하여 수자원과 냉난방 열원으로 활용하는 방안에 대한 평가를 지열-지하수 부정류 모델링을 통해 수행하였다. 저장 및 회수 가동 시간이 증가함에 따라서 각각의 대수층 내에 온열과 냉열이 축열되는 현상이 확인되었으며, 지하수 유동에 의해 축열된 수체가 지하수 흐름방향으로 이동하는 현상을 확인 하여 지하수 유동이 축열 정도를 결정하는 요인이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 설정된 모델에 대하여, 두 개의 개별 대수층 사이의 열 간섭은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 주입과 양수의 가동 횟수가 증가되면, 대수층 축열 효과는 증대되는 것으로 나타났다. 열-지하수 모델링을 통한 온도 예측은 실제 냉난방의 효율성을 결정짓는 수온을 정량적으로 계산할 수 있는 유용한 기술로 평가됨과 더불어, 수자원의 지하 저장을 통해 효율적으로 물을 확보하고 관리할 수 있는 방안이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The minimization of maximum DPF wall temperature and the fast Light-off during regeneration are the targets for the high durability of the DPF system and the high efficiency of regeneration. In order to predict transient thermal response of DPF, one-channel numerical modeling has been adopted. The effect of the ratio of length to diameter(L/D), cell density, the amount of soot loading on temporal thermal response and regeneration characteristics has been numerically investigated under two different running conditions: city driving mode and high speed mode. The results indicate that the maximum wall temperature of DPF increase with increasing 'L/D' in 'High speed mode'. For 'City driving mode', the maximum wall temperature decreases with increasing 'L/D' in the range of $'L/D{\geq}0.6'$. The maximum temperature decreases with increasing cell density because heat conduction and heat capacity are increased. It is also found that the effect of amount of soot loading on light-off time is negligible.

It is of great importance to predict operating parameter characteristics of an integrated fuel processor by the increased life-time and system performance. In this study, computational analysis is performed to gain fundamental insights on transport phenomena and chemical reactions in reformer which consists of preheating, steam reforming, and water gas shift reaction beds. Also, a top-fired burner locates inside of the reforming system. The combustor is providing thermal energy necessary for the steam reforming bed which is a endothermic catalytic reactor. Two-dimensional numerical model of the integrated fuel processing system is introduced for the analysis of heat and mass transport phenomena as well as surface kinetics and catalytic process. A kinetic model was developed and then computational results were compared with the experimental data available in the literature. Subsequently, parameter study using the validated steam methane reforming model was conducted by considering operating parameters, i.e. steam to carbon ratio and temperature.

The effects of internal manifold designs on the reactants feed-stream in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells [PEFCs] is studied to figure out flow and thermal distribution patterns over an entire fuel cell stack. Reactants flows are modeled either laminar of turbulent depending on regions and the open channels in the bipolar plates are simulated by porous media where permeability should be pre-deter-mined for computational analysis. In this work, numerical models for reactants feed-stream In the PEFC manifolds are classified Into two major flow patterns: Z-shape and U-shape. Several types of manifold geometries are analyzed to find the optimal manifold configurations. The effect of heat generation in PEFC on the flow distribution is also Investigated applying a simplified heat transfer model in the stack level (i.e. multi-cell electrochemical power-generation unit). This modeling technique Is well suited for many large scale problems and this scheme can be used not only to account for the manifold flow pattern but also to obtain Information on the optimal design and operation of PEFC systems.

Mathematical modelling for liquid rocket engine(LRE) main components were conducted to predict the dynamic characteristics when the LRE operates at the transient condition, which include engine start up, shut down, or thrust control. Propellant feeding system is composed of fuel and oxidizer feeding components except for regenerative cooling channel for the fuel circuit. Components modeling of pump, pipe, orifice, control valve, regenerative cooling channel and injector was serially made. Hydraulic tests of scale down component were made in order to validate modelling components. The mathematical models of engine components were integrated into LRE transient simulation program in concomitant with experimental validation.
