This paper dealt with the statistical values including mean, standard deviation, variance and coefficient of variation for 14 soil parameters available of Lade's double work-hardening model in order to predict the behaviour of granular soil. 27 sets of all 14 parameters for Baekma river sand were determined by regression using raw data acquired from 12 isotropic compression tests and 9 triaxial compression tests with the variation of confining pressure of 1, 2, and $4kg/cm^2$ respectively 3 times performed during this study. The characteristics of each parameters were investigated. By determining the range of the upper and lower bound dependent on the increase and decrease of the standard deviation from mean value of parameters, sensitivity of all the parameters was scrutinized, by which in turn the influence of experimental error generated inevitably during tests on the determination of soil parameters was also examined.

On the basis of flow resistance theory the conceptual model and related mathematical descriptions is proposed for resistance modeling of groundwater flow in CPM(continuum Porous medium), DFN(discrete fracture network) and fractured-porous medium. The proposed model is developed on the basis of finite volume method assuming steady-state, constant density groundwater flow. The basic approach of the method is to evaluate inter-block flow resistance values for a staggered grid arrangement, i.e. fluxes are stored at cell walls and scalars at cell centers. The balance of forces, i.e. the Darcy law, is utilized for each control volume centered around the point where the velocity component is stored. The transmissivity (or permeability) at the interface is assumed to be the harmonic average of neighboring blocks. Flow resistance theory was utilized to relate the fluxes between the grid blocks with residual pressures. The flow within porous medium is described by three dimensional equations and that within an individual fracture is described by a two dimensional equivalent of the flow equations for a porous medium. Newly proposed models would contribute to develop flow simulation techniques with various matrix characteristics.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate fuel injection characteristics through swirl injectors when the fuel was heated to very high temperature conditions. Three swirl injectors with different orifice diameters and swirler geometries were used to measure the flow coefficient (${\alpha}$) for the injection pressure ranges between 3 and 10 bar and the fuel temperature from 50 to $270^{\circ}C$. The results showed that the variation characteristics of ${\alpha}$ with respect to cavitation number ($K_c$) were highly dependent on both the orifice diameter and the swirler geometry. In addition, the characteristics of ${\alpha}$ variation with respect to AR, the area ratio of the flow through the swirler and the orifice, has revealed that the effect of boiling is retarded but the slope of decreasing ${\alpha}$ after the boiling effect is present tumbles as AR increases.

A new propeller series is developed using the newly developed blade section(KH18 section) which behaves better cavitation characteristics and higher lift-drag ratio at wide range of angle-of-attack. The pitch and camber distributions are disigned in order to have the same radial and chordwise loading distribution with the selected circumferentially averaged wake input. Since the geometries of the series propeller, such as chord length, thickness, skew and rate distribations, are selected by regression of the recent full scale propeller geometric data, the performance prediction of a propeller at preliminary design stage can be mure realistic. Number of blades of the series propellers is 4 and the expanded blade area ratios are 0.3, 0.45, 0.6 and 0.75. Mean pitch ratios are selected as 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 0.75 and 1.1 for each expanded area ratio. The new propeller series is composed of 20 propellers and is named as KD(KRISO-DAEWOO) propeller series. Propeller open water tests are performed at the experimental towing tank, and the cavitation observation tests and fluctuating pressure measurements are carried out at the cavitation tunnel of KRISO. $B_{P}-\delta$ curves, which can be used to select the optimum propeller diameter at the preliminary design stage, are derived from a regression analysis of the propeller often water test results. The KD-cavitation chart is derived from the cavitation observation test results by choosing the local maximum lift coefficient and the local cavitation number as parameters. The caviy extent of a propeller can be predicted more accurately by using the KD-cavitation chart at a preliminary design stage, since it is derived from the results of the cavitation observation tests in the selected ship's wake, whereas the existing cavitation charts, such as the Burrill's cavitation chart, are derived from the test results in uniform flow.

In the international natural gas market, natural gas has markedly low calories. The domestic calories standard of natural gas was changed and the performance and efficiency of many industrial machines using natural gas were affected because of low caloric natural gas. Therefore, in this study, a dual fuel engine fueled with natural gas and diesel was tested to examine the effects of the CNG substitution rate on the combustion characteristics, such as thermal efficiency, COVimep and heat release rate. The CNG substitution rate was defined as the ratio of CNG instead of diesel, which was calculated as the total energy. The conditions of the tested engine were fixed $1800rpm/500N{\cdot}m$. In addition, diesel fuel was injected at $16^{\circ}CA$ BTDC and the fuel pressure was fixed at 85 MPa; the lower heating value of CNG was $10,400kcal/Nm^3$. The results of the engine test showed that the amount of diesel fuel was changed according to the CNG substitution rate. Therefore, when the substitution rate was increased, the amount of diesel fuel was decreased, which affected the energy for ignition. In addition, the ignition delay duration was increased, which affected the thermal efficiency and torque. On the other hand, the COVimep was less than 5% and a stable combustion state of the engine was shown.

A three-dimensional Galerkin-FEM model which can handle the temporal and spatial variation of density is presented. The hydrostatic approximation is used and density effects are included by means of conservation equation of heat and the equation of state. The finite difference grids are used in the horizontal plane and a set of linear-shape functions is used for the vertical expansion. The similarity transform is introduced to solve resultant matrix equations. The proposed model was first applied to the density-driven circulation in an idealized basin in the presence of the heat exchange between the air and the sea. The advection terms in the momentum equation were ignored, while the convection terms were retained in the heat equation. Coefficients of the vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity were fixed to be constant. Calculation in a non-rotating idealized basin shows that the difference in heat capacity with depth gives rise to the horizontal gradient of temperature. Consequently, there is a steady new in the upper layer in the direction of increasing depth with compensatory counter flow .in the lower layer. With Coriolis force, geostrophic flow was predominant due to the balance between the pressure gradient and the Coriolis force. As a test in region of irregular topography, the model is applied to the Yellow Sea. Although the resultant flow was very complex, the character of the flow Showed to be geostrophic on the whole.

최근에 에너지 자원의 고갈이 다가오는 상황에서 태양전지 분야가 주목받고 있으며 이에 대한 시장이 급격하게 확대되고 있다. 그러나 현재의 태양전지는 주를 이루고있는 실리콘태양전지의 경우 원재료 수급이 불안정하여 가격 변동이 심하다. 따라서 이를 대체할 2세대 태양전지인 박막형 태양전지의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 박막형 태양전지 중에서도 주목받고 있는 것은 Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$(CIGS)박막 태양전지이다. CIGS는 Ga의 농도에 따라 1.02~1.68eV의 다양한 에너지 밴드갭을 갖는 직접천이형 반도체 물질이다. 또한 $1{\times}10^5cm^{-1}$의 높은 광흡수계수를 가지고 있으며, $450{\sim}590^{\circ}C$의 고온공정에서도 매우 안정하여 열화현상이 거의 보이지 않아 박막형 광흡수층 재료로서 적합하다. 흡수층을 제조하는 방법은 여러 가지가 있지만, 본 연구에서는 균일성이 뛰어나고 원료사용효율이 높은 sputtering 방법을 사용하였다. 그리고 결정화하기위해서 유독기체를 사용하는 셀.렌.화. (selenization) 방법 대신 전자빔을 조사하는 방법을 채택하였다. sputtering을 통한 CIGS precursor을 제조하기위해 2~3개의 화합물target을 사용하는데, 대표적인 방법으로 동시에 sputtering하는 co-sputtering 방법과 각각의 단일 층을 쌓아 제조하는 stack형으로 분류된다. 본 연구는 CIGS precursor를 제조하기 앞서 CuGa 단일 층만을 제조하여 공정조건에 따른 박막을 제조하였다. 제조된 CuGa 단일층은 전자빔 처리에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 전자빔의 세기와 공정시간을 달리하여 특성을 알아보았다. 실험에서는 Cu:75wt%,Ga:25wt% 조성의 target을 사용하여 공정 압력을 각각 10~1mTorr로 변화시키며 실험을 실시하였으며 공정 power는 50W, 70W, 100W로 변화 시키며 실험을 실시하였다. 이때 실험의 초기진공은 turbo-molecular pump를 이용하여 $1{\times}10^{-6}torr$ 이하로 하였으며, Target과 기판사이의 거리는 모두 같은 조건으로 고정하여 실험을 실시하였다. 박막의 균일성을 증가시키기 위하여 5 rpm의 속도로 기판을 회전하였으며 기판 온도는 가열하지 않고 상온에서 전구체를 증착하였다. 그 후 전자빔의 세기를 고정 시킨 후 전자빔 조사 시간을 조절하여 전자빔 조사 전후의 특성을 각각 분석하였다. 전기적특성은 Hall effect, 4-point probe, 구조적 특성은 SEM,EDS, XRD, XRF 를 이용하여 분석하였다.

Background : The prone position is often used for operations involving the spine and provides excellent surgical access. The complications associated with the prone position include ocular and auricular injuries, and musculoskeletal injuries. In particular, the prone position during general anesthesia causes hemodynamic changes. To evaluate the cardiovascular effects of the prone position in surgical patients during general anesthesia, we investigated the effects on hemodynamic change of the prone position with the Jackson spinal surgery table. Materials and Methods : Thirty patients undergoing spine surgery in the prone position were randomly selected. After induction of general anesthesia, intra-arterial and central venous pressures (CVP) were monitored and cardiac output was measured by $NICO^{(R)}$. We measured stroke volume, cardiac index, cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, CVP and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) before changing the position. The same measurements were performed after changing to the prone position with the patient on the Jackson spinal surgery table. Results : In the prone position, there was a significant reduction in stroke volume, cardiac index and cardiac output. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure and CVP were also decreased in the prone position but not significantly. However, the SVR was increased significantly. Conclusion : The degree of a reduced cardiac index was less on the Jackson spinal surgery table than other conditions of the prone position. The reduced epidural pressure caused by free abdominal movement may decrease intraoperative blood loss. Therefore, the Jackson spinal surgery table provides a convenient and stable method for maintaining patients in the prone position during spinal surgery.
