This paper presents the vibration control performance of the smart passive control system to suppress the undesired vibration of the structure subjected to the earthquake loadings. Smart passive control system is the MR damper-based control system augmented with electromagnetic induction(EMI) device which consists of permanent magnets and solenoid coils. According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, an EMI device produces electrical energy from the mechanical energy due to the reciprocal motions of the structure and provide it to the MR damper. The smart passive control system can be the simple and easy to implement and maintain control system by replacing the feedback control system including sensors, controllers and external power sources of the conventional MR damper-based semiactive control system with the EMI device. The control performance of the smart passive control system is evaluated through the set of shaking table test considering the various historical earthquake loadings.

본 연구는 가정용 가스 보일러의 배기가스 유동특성을 전산유체역학을 이용하여 정밀 분석하고 CO 검지 장치의 최적화 설계를 결정하는 것을 목적으로, CFD 상용코드 FLUENT 6.2를 이용하였다. 배기가스 포집위치에서 가스 유속의 균일성과 CO농도 검출기에서의 속도가 주요 성능 인자이며 포집기의 위치, 포집구멍의 크기 및 배기가스의 유량을 주요 변수로 선택하였다. 포집기의 위치는 배기부의 상부와 하부인 두가지의 경우이고 두 경우의 배관 높이 차이는 10 mm이다. 포집구멍의 직경 변화는 3 mm, 4 mm 및 5 mm인 세가지 경우이다. 마지막 변수인 배기가스의 유입속도는 20,000 kcal/hr용량의 k사 가스 보일러가 공기비 1.1일 경우에 정상 연소시 0.5 m/s임을 알았고 저부하와 고부하일 경우를 고려해서 0.3 m/s, 0.5 m/s 및 0.7 m/s의 세가지 경우를 변수로 결정하여 총 18가지 형태의 대상을 전산유체 역학을 통해서 분석하였다. 궁극적인 목표였던 배기가스의 균일성은 한가지 경우를 제외 하고는 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기 때문에 CO검지 장치가 위치할 곳에서의 속도 및 포집구멍의 크기가 CO농도 검출기 유속의 주요 인자라 할 수 있다. 결론적으로 포집구멍의 크기가 5 mm인 6가지 경우 중에서 두가지 경우는 검지장치의 유효속도를 초과하였고 포집구멍의 크기가 3 mm인 경우는 검지장치의 유입 속도가 상대적으로 작으므로 포집구멍의 크기는 4 mm가 적합한 것으로 판단하였다.

A medium-scale helium loop that can simulate a VHTR (very-high-temperature reactor) is now under construction at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The heaters of the test helium loop electrically heat helium fluid up to $950^{\circ}C$ at pressures of 1 to 9 MPa. To optimize the design specifications of the experimental helium loop, the conjugate heat transfer in the high-temperature helium heater was analyzed by performing a CFD simulation. The analysis results indicate that the maximum temperature does not exceed the allowable limit. It is confirmed that the thermal characteristics of the loop with the given geometry satisfy the design requirements.

In this study, the maintenance process by the servo manipulator has been developed for the parts of the equipment, which we unable to reach out by the Master-Slave Manipulator(MSM) in a hot cell. To do this, a virtual mock-up is implemented using the iか prototyping technology. Using this mock-up, the workspace of the manipulators in the hot cell and the operator's view through the wall-mounted lead glass have been analyzed. In addition, the path planning of the servo manipulator using the collision detection function of the virtual mock-up has been established. From these, the maintenance process for the parts of the equipment, which are located at the outside of the MSM's workspace using the servo manipulator has been proposed and verified through the graphic simulation. It is revealed that the proposed remote maintenance process of the equipment can effectively be used in the real hot cell operation. It is also believed that the implemented virtual mock-up of the hot cell can effectively be applied in analyzing the various hot cell operation and enhancing the reliability and safety in a hot cell remote handling for the spent fuel management.

In this study, modeling and optimization study have been performed to obtain $1,524.58kg\;h^{-1}$ of a solidified NaCl by evaporating a 21.0 wt% of NaCl aqueous solution in order to reduce the steam consumption from $3,139kg\;h^{-1}$ to $496kg\;h^{-1}$ using a two-stage evaporation and a vapor recompression processes. Aspen Plus release 8.8 at AspenTech was utilized for the modeling of two stage evaporation process and PRO/II with PROVISION release 9.4 at Schneider Electric was also used for the simulation of two-stage vapor recompression process with an inter-cooler. For the simulation of the evaporation process containing NaCl aqueous solution, Aspen Plus release 8.8 at AspenTech Inc. was utilized and for the modeling of vapor recompression process PRO/II with PROVISION release at Schneider Electric Inc. For the vapor recompression process, single stage compression and two-stage compression system was compared.

In this study, flow structure in a three-stage centrifugal compressor for LNG Plant with the refrigerant, Propane, was numerically investigated at the design point of the compressor using a commercial code. Flow characteristics in the passages of impeller and vaneless diffuser were analyzed in detail including velocity vector, Mach number and pressure contours in blade spanwise and meridional plane for each stage. The estimation on the one-dimensional output from the preliminary design and three-dimensional shape of the impeller blade was performed through the flow analysis. The verification for designed compressor was carried out from three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. The results will be used as reference data for a new design of 3-D impeller shape to improve propane refrigerant compressor performance.

In the water purification plant, the mixture of water and chemical from the mixing basin enters the flocculation basin. The rotating flocculators are generally used for the efficient flocculation of dregs. In this paper, the performance of flocculators of a vertical paddle type, widely used in the typical flocculation basins, and a hydro-foil type, recently disseminated in the field, are compared with each other by use of the numerical method. Also the characteristics and the efficiency are analyzed with CFD techniques. The strain rate and the eddy viscosity are compared for two types to predict the mixing efficiency, and the maximum speed and its location are pursued from the computed data. The hydrofoil type shows that the eddy viscosity is enhanced 1.66 to 3.03 times larger than that of vertical paddle type, and also produced 1.87 to 1.95 times larger flocs for each stage. However, the rapid rotation of hydrofoil may chop the floc to small size due to the higher turbulence intensity. From the result of computation, the strong and weak points of each type have been analyzed for the decision making.

In this study, vertical motion of a Tuned Liquid Column Damper(TLCD) is measured by a variable voltage measurement system in the electric field and design parameters of the TLCD are determined. First, nonlinear damping term of the TLCD is replaced as the equivalent viscous damping term. The natural frequency and damping ratio of dynamic characteristics of the TLCD are verified. In addition, a novel liquid level measurement system is developed for measuring vertical motion of the TLCD. For the experimental achievement, experimental characterizations of natural frequency and damping ratio of the TLCD are undertaken utilizing the developed variable voltage sensing. Also, shake table testing is performed to determine the dynamic characteristics of the TLCD. As a result, the feasibility of the proposed liquid level measurement system is verified by comparison with the capacitive type wavemeter.

The purpose of this study is to apprehend the behavior of exhaust gas flow from gas turbine during part load operation in Heat Recovery Steam Generator. As a first step of this work, internal flow characteristics according to HRSG types were examined by CFD analysis. Next step, tube temperature according to gas turbine 53% and 100% load conditions were calculated by results of CFD and those were compared with temperature data gathered from real plant. Finally, thermal performance due to part load operation was calculated to estimate the influence of heat transfer in superheater. In addition, new type of device is suggested to eliminate the uneven temperature distribution of tubes during part load operation.
