이전에 Magnetic Fluid를 이용하여 의료기기 등에 사용할 목적으로 Linear Actuator를 설계, 제작하였다. 그러나 이 모델은 공극의 높은 자기저항으로 인해 펌핑 압력이 낮고, 그 부피 또한 크다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Yoke를 이용하여 Linear Actuator를 소형화하고 자기저항을 최소화함으로써 펌핑 압력을 향상시켰다. 또한 Linear Actuator의 3D해석을 통하여 Yoke의 폭, 두께, 간격에 대한 최적 크기를 계산하고 설계하였으며, 실제 제작 및 실험을 하였다.

Exact comparisons of the thermal conductivities of the base fluid and a nanofluid are very important in the early stages of nanofluid development. A simple procedure of measuring the thermal conductivity of the two fluids by the transient hot wire method and numerically dividing these values is used for this purpose. However, because the experiments are not performed simultaneously and the physical properties of the measurement system are sometimes not properly known, large errors are incurred during the evaluation process. This article proposes a new apparatus for thermal conductivity comparison where the working principle is mainly based on relative measurement rather than absolute measurement. The measuring circuit and data processing steps are explained in detail; a validation test was performed using the well-known glycerine and engine oil.

The in-duct acoustical sources of fluid machines are often characterized by the source impedance and strength using the linear time-invariant model. However, negative resistances, which are physically unreasonable, have been found throughout various measurements of the source properties in IC-engines and compressors. In this paper, the effects of the time-varying nature of fluid machines on the source characteristics are studied analytically. For this purpose, the simple fluid machine consisting of a reciprocating piston and an exhaust is considered as representing a typical periodic, time-varying system and the equivalent circuits are analyzed. Simulated measurements using the analytic solutions show that the time-varying nature in the actual sources is one of the main causes of the negative source resistances. It is also found that, for the small magnitude of the time-varying component, the source radiates large acoustic power if the piston operates at twice the natural frequency of the static system. or integral submultiples of that rate.

Piezoresistive flow sensors with four different types of microbeam structures were fabricated using (100), n/$n^+$/n three-layer silicon wafer and their characteristics were investigated. Piezoresistors were formed through boron diffusion and its values were about $1\;k{\Omega}$. Three-dimensional silicon microbeams were constructed by porous silicon micromachining and curled microbeams were fabricated by the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between silicon and metal. The output response of the fabricated sensor was evaluated through half- bridge. The output voltage increased with increasing length of microbeam at the same flow velocity, while the detectable measurement range extended with decreasing length of microbeam. The output voltage of the fabricated sensors were increased with quotient of 3.2 of the flow rate since the stress of the beam versus the gas flow showed non-linear characteristics.

In this study, the training and sporting equipment for leg rehabilitation featuring the MR fluids is proposed. The compact MR fluid brake is designed and manufactured to apply to the rehabilitation training and sporting mechanism. The resistance characteristic of the MR fluid brake is controllable by varying the magnetic field around the fluid. Under consideration of spatial limitation, design parameters which are related with the magnetic strength are determined to maximize to a torque using finite element method. The FE analysis is performed using a commercial code, ANSYS Workbench. The proposed brake device is manufactured, and its field-dependant torque is experimentally evaluated. When the electric current is supplied, the torque of the MR fluid brake is increased and the response is very fast. Depending on the strength of the current supply, torques of the MR fluid brake also increase similar to Bingham property of MR fluid.

Eyer since the Prandtl's experiment in 1934 and X-21 airjet test in 1950 both attempting to reduce drag, it was found that controlling the velocities of surface for extremely fast-moving object in the air through suction or injection was highly effective and active method. To obtain the right amount of suction or injection, however, repetitive trial-and error parameter test has been still used up to now. This study started from an attempt to decide optimal amount of suction and injection of incompressible Navier-Stokes by employing optimization techniques. However, optimization with traditional methods are very limited, especially when Reynolds number gets high and many unexpected variables emerges. In earlier study, we have proposed an algorithm to solve this problem by using step by step method in analysis and introducing SQP method in optimization. In this study, we propose more effective and robust algorithm and techniques in solving flow optimization problem.

Drag reduction on vehicles are the main concern for the body shape designers in order to lower the fuel consumption rate and to aid the driving stability. The drag of bluff bodies like transportation vehicles is mostly pressure drag due to the flow separation, which can be minimized by controlling the location and size of the separation bubble. In the present study, the TURBO-3D code is incorporated with optimal algorithm based on analytical approximation method to obtain an optimal afterbody shape of the MIRA Model corresponding to the lowest drag coefficient. For this purpose three mutually independent afterbody angles are chosen as design variables, while the drag coefficient is chosen as an objective function. It is demonstrated in the present study that an optimal body shape having the lowest drag coefficient which is about 6% lower than that of the original shape has been successfully obtained within number of iterations of tile optimal design loop.

파울링은 열교환기에 형성되는 열저항으로 에너지 손실에 많은 영향을 미친다. 그러나 파울링은 그 예측이나 감소 또는 제거가 매우 어려운 것으로 인식되어 왔다. 작동유체자체를 철결하게 유지함으로써 파울링을 감소할 수도 있으나 작동유체 자체의 특성 때문에 본질적으로 작동유체를 청결하게 유지할 수 없는 경우가 대부분이다. 즉, 폐열 회수의 대상이 되는 액체가 하천수나 생 활하수인 경우 작동액체를 청결하게 유지함으로써 파을링을 저감시피는 방법은 타당치 않다.일 본의 폐얼회수 프로젝트와 담수화 프로젝트에서 특이한 점은 두 가지 프로젝트에서 열교환기면의 파울링 문제 해경을 전열 촉진의 내용과 거의 비슷한 비중으로 다루고 있다는 점이다. 파울링은 오래 전부터 열시스템설계자의 주요 관심사였으나 큰 진전은 없었다. 그러나 현재는 주변기술이 발달로 더 이상 연구 불가능 영역은 아닐 듯 싶다.

In this paper, turbulence models for considering roughness in the open source code(OpenFOAM) was investigated. Wall function in the RANS(Reynolds-averaged Navier - Stokes) turbulence model was modified considering roughness on the flat plate by using roughness function. Correlation between the first layer height in the CFD model and roughness height of the plate was observed, and the most proper roughness function, and the first layer height from the plate wall in the CFD analysis was suggested in this paper.
