We conducted the performance test of micronozzle having nozzle throat diameter of 1.0, 0.5, 0.25 mm in an ambient pressure. We used N2 gas as a cold gas propellant. We varied chamber pressure from 2 to 20 bar and measured the thrust and mass flow rate. Through the test, we concluded that viscous losses were increased with decreasing chamber pressure. We found that micronozzle performance was higher than orifice performance through thrust comparison.

The present study deals with the leading edge shape on a wing-body junction to decrease a horseshoe vortex, one of the main factors to generate the secondary flow losses. The shape of leading-edge is optimized with design variables form the leading-edge shape. Approximate optimization design method is used for the optimization. The study is investigated using $FLUENT^{TM}$ and $iSIGHT^{TM}$. As the result, total pressure coefficient of the optimized design case was decreased about 9.79% compare to the baseline case.

The present study deals with the optimization of the leading edge shape around a wing-body junction to minimize the strength of the horseshoe vortex, which is one of the main factor generating the secondary flow losses. For this purpose, approximate optimization method is used for the optimization. The study is performed by using $FLUENT^{TM}$ and $iSIGHT^{TM}$.

기존의 역률 보상 회로(PFC 회로)는 저전압 입력 시에 정류 다이오드의 도통손실 증가로 인해 효율 상승에 제약을 받는다. Bridgeless PFC 컨버터는 입력 측의 정류 다이오드 없이 능동 스위치가 정류 동작을 수행하도록 하여 더 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고효율을 위한 새로운 절연형 bridgeless PFC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 회로는 입력단의 정류 다이오드를 제거함으로써 도통 손실을 줄여 효율 향상을 꾀하였다. 또한 변압기를 사용하여 입출력 전압 이득 설계를 자유롭게 하였으며, 2차 DC/DC 컨버터 설계 시 절연이 필요하지 않도록 하였다. 제안한 회로의 성능을 65W급 프로토타입 컨버터의 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

Firing test of solid rocket motor with pintle-technology carried out and the measured pressure-time curve was compared with the values predicted by the internal ballistic and performance analysis. Without baffle, the measured combustion chamber pressure was similar with the predicted pressure at the beginning of combustion, but gradual increase in pressure, which was unexpected with the end-burning grain of which burning area is constant, was observed. A baffle was inserted to make uniform flow over the pintle. Unlike the thruster without baffle, the measured combustion chamber pressure was 1.4 times higher than the predicted value. Through the CFD simulation, 10% of total pressure loss of the flow was observed from combustion chamber to nozzle throat when the baffle was inserted. The measured pressure with baffle was predicted well by considering the total pressure loss in the internal ballistic modelling and performance analysis.

본 논문은 경제성 및 안정성을 유지하는 최적의 전압유지범위 설정을 위해 다양한 목적함수를 최적조류계산에 이용하였다. 경제성을 위해 융통전력 최대화와 유효전력 손실최소화를 목적함수로 하였고 안정성을 위해 무효전력예비력 최대화를 목적함수로 하였다. 또한 경제성과 안정성을 모두 반영하기 위해 다목적 함수를 구성하였다. 최적화기법을 실계통에 적용하였을 때 목적함수를 얼마나 잘 만족시킬 수 있는지 각종 지표를 통해 살펴보았다. 그리고 모니터링 모선의 전압 변동 추이를 살펴보고 이를 통해 경제성 및 안정성을 유지하는 최적의 전압유지 범위설정을 하는데 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

To enhance the performance of an automobile turbocharger compressor, the circumferential inlet heights of the volute were modified and the flow field for the combined region of the diffuser and volute was numerically investigated using commercial software. Basically, a well-designed volute should have a high pressure recovery coefficient and a low loss coefficient for the total pressure. In this study, two circular volutes with the same cross sectional shape and tongue angle, but circumferentially different volute inlet heights, were selected. One volute had the middle inlet in the cross-section at the circumferential angle of $90^{\circ}$ but gradually lower inlet heights for the angles between $90^{\circ}$ to $360^{\circ}$ with respect to the cross sectional center of the volute, while maintaining the same height between the tangential line connecting the lowest positions of the cross section and the line connecting the volute inlets in the circumferential direction (case 1 volute). The other volute has an inlet height that is 2 mm lower than in case 1 volute such that the tongue section has a tangential inlet (case 2 volute). The results showed that the case 2 volute had a higher total pressure ratio because of its higher pressure recovery coefficient and higher isentropic efficiency, resulting from the lower loss coefficient along the circumferential position than the case 1 volute.

The IGBT structure developed in this paper is used as a high power switch semiconductor for DC transmission and distribution and it is expected that it will be used as an important electronic device for new and long distance DC transmission in the future by securing fast switching speed and improved breakdown voltage characteristic. As a new type of next generation power semiconductors, it is designed to improve the switching speed while at the same time improving the breakdown voltage characteristics, reducing power loss characteristics, and achieving high current density advantages at the same time. These improved properties were obtained by further introducing SiO2 into the N-drift region of the Planar IGBT and were compared and analyzed using the Sentaurus TCAD simulation tool.

3-Dimensional flow which is represented by horseshoe vortex is generated as a type of secondary flow about the main flow. As well, it causes the flow loss. The present study deals with the leading edge fence shape on a wing-body junction to decrease a horseshoe vortex, one of the main factors to generate the secondary flow losses. The shape of leading-edge fence was optimized with the design variables of the installed height, length, width, and thickness of the fence as the design variables. Approximate optimization design method is used as the optimization. The study was investigated using $FLUENT^{TM}$ and $iSIGHT^{TM}$. Total pressure coefficient of the optimized design case was decreased about 7.5 % compare to the baseline case.

Secondary flow losses can be as high as $30{\sim}50%$ of the total aerodynamic losses generated in the cascade of a turbine. Therefore, these are important part for improving a turbine efficiency. As well, many studies have been performed to decrease the secondary flow losses. The present study deals with the leading edge fences on a wing-body to decrease a horseshoe vortex, one of the factors to generate the secondary flow losses, and optimizes the shape of leading-edge fence with the shape factors, such as the installed height, length, width, and thickness of the fence as the design variables. The study was investigated using $FLUENT^{TM}$ and $iSIGHT^{TM}$. Total pressure loss coefficient was improved about 7.5 % than the baseline case.
