Salinity gradient power (SGP) has attracted significant attention because of its high potential. In this study, we evaluate reverse electrodialysis (RED) with various compositions of available resources. The polarization curve (I-V characteristics) shows linear behavior, and therefore the power density curve has a parabolic shape. We measure the power density with varying compartment thicknesses and inlet flow rates. The gross power density increases with decreasing compartment thickness and increasing flow rate. The net power density, which is the gross power density minus the pumping power, has a maximum value at a compartment thickness of 0.2 mm and an inlet flow rate of 22.5 mL/min. The power density in RED is also evaluated with compositions of desalination brines, seawater, river water, wastewater, and brackish water. A maximum power density of $1.75W/m^2$ is obtained when brine discharged from forward osmosis (FO) and river water are used as the concentrated and the diluted solutions, respectively.

Virtual testing devices are required due to rapid changes in the health care industry and the increase of the medical or nursing workforce. The importance of devices such as the simulator, blood vessels, and lab equipment for modeling blood flow to the heart is increasing too. In this study, we made heart pump by using a step motor and developed device which simulates arterial, venous blood pressure, and blood flow. We finally evaluated the function of proposed device. The proposed system is composed of the pump for simulating, the valve device to describe the resistance of the artery and vein, and a reducing device showing the characteristics of the venous system. We used BOXER pump for heart simulator and silicon tube for arterial and venous vessels, and designed a reducing device. We also used the pressure sensor to measure arterial blood pressure. For the evaluation of the proposed system, we selected a range of 50~100mmHg of the blood circuit 60 per minute and then compared the blood pressure of a person and the measured blood pressure.

The population of Korea's solar salt-producing regions is rapidly aging, resulting in a decrease in the number of productive workers. In solar salt production, salt collection is the most labor-intensive operation because existing salt collection vehicles require human operators. Therefore, we intend to develop an unmanned solar salt collection vehicle to reduce manpower requirements. The unmanned solar salt collection vehicle is designed to identify the salt collection status and location in the salt plate via color detection, the color detection performance is a crucial consideration. Therefore, an image processing algorithm was developed to improve color detection performance. The algorithm generates an around-view image by using resizing, rotation, and perspective transformation of the input image, set the RoI to transform only the corresponding area to the HSV color model, and detects the color area through an AND operation. The detected color area was expanded and noise removed using morphological operations, and the area of the detection region was calculated using contour and image moment. The calculated area is compared with the set area to determine the location case of the collection vehicle within the salt plate. The performance was evaluated by comparing the calculated area of the final detected color to which the algorithm was applied and the area of the detected color in each step of the algorithm. It was confirmed that the color detection performance is improved by at least 25-99% for salt detection, at least 44-68% for red color, and an average of 7% for blue and an average of 15% for green. The proposed approach is well-suited to the operation of unmanned solar salt collection vehicles.

While a conventional ECS mainly consisted of an air cycle machine and heat exchangers, a new concept of a phase change heat exchanger was added to improve the transient performance of the ECS. As a result, an ECS modeling program including the phase change heat exchanger is newly developed to estimate its effect in various flight conditions such as take-off, maneuver, cruise, and landing. The simulation result regarding a virtual flight profile has confirmed the new ECS fulfilled the requirement by showing the temperature of the cooling air returned from the bay was always kept below $80^{\circ}C$. Through this study, the new ECS concept with PCHE was verified successfully.

초고압 차단기는 개방 또는 투입 기능을 수행시 과도현상에 의한 개폐서지(Switching Surge)가 발생하여 차단기 구성품들에 부담이 가해진다. 초고압 차단기용 개폐제어 장치는 이러한 차단기의 개폐 동작시 차단기 접점의 분리 또는 접촉 순간을 제어하여 개폐서지를 최소화함으로써 접점의 마모와 구성품에 가해지는 스트레스를 감소시키는 장치이다. 즉, 차단기에 인가되는 전압의 위상을 기준으로 원하는 개폐시점에서 개방 및 투입이 일어나도록 제어하는 기기이다. 국외에서는 해외 선진사들이 이미 초고압 차단기용 개폐제어 장치를 상용화하여 현장에 적용하고 있으며, 국내에서는 기술의 검토 단계를 지나서 장치를 개발하고 시험하여 상용화하는 단계로 진입하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 상용화를 위하여 개발된 초고압 차단기용 개폐제어 장치에 대하여 하드웨어 구성을 소개하고, 운영 소프트웨어를 설명하며, 개폐제어 장치의 개폐제어 동작 성능을 자체 모의시험과 GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) 차단부와의 연계 시험을 통하여 평가한다.

The rapid growth of high speed multimedia services demands the large capacity of the server's storage that maintains the multimedia contents. Among the server's devices, the low I/O speed and physical or logical failure of storage device decrease the total performance of system. The continuous increase of multimedia contents require the flexibility of storage capacity. In order to solve the these problems, we propose the uses of software RAID and LVM techniques that provide the performance improvement and reliability of storage device and the flexibility of storage device respectively. In the LINUX 2.4 kernel, we implemented the reliable and flexible storage device and evaluated the performance of it.

The failure of expansion joints for bridges generally occurs in non-shrinkage mortar another problem is the release of anchors in expansion joints due to the impact and vibration that occurs when cars are driving over a bridge. In this study, to overcome the failure of expansion joints that is related to the failure of non-shrinkage mortar, an elastomeric mortar has been developed. The elastomeric mortar has a highly developed pull-out capacity compared with that of non-shrinkage mortar. Moreover, an anchor system that can be changed easily and prevent the fracture of expansion joints has been developed.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of two yard layout of HSS at container terminal, one is that the container yard blocks are placed horizontally in parallel with berth, the other is that the yard blocks are arranged vertically in perpendicular to the berth. In stevedoring system of container terminal, stacking and transport performance are influenced according to block arrangement type of yard. Therefore, efficient design that can improve stacking and transport performance is required. In this paper, we compared their efficiency of two block arrangement concepts in terms of storage capacity, productivity, facility investments, truck service level.

본 연구에서는 벽면을 통해 빗물을 모을 수 있는 수직 빗물수집장치을 개발하고, 기상 자료를 이용하여 장치의 성능을 모의해보았다. 빗물수집장치는 높이에 따라 총 3 가지 유형(1.00 m, 1.50 m, 2.00 m)으로 제작되었다. 본 연구는 빗물수집장치에 의해 모을 수 있는 빗물의 양을 추정하고 실제로 측정한 값과 비교해보았다. 빗물의 양을 추정하는 과정에서는 Cho et al. (2020)이 제안한 차단량 추정식을 이용하였다. 기상 자료를 관측하기 위한 장치로는 BloomSky 기상 관측 장치를 이용하였다. 수직 빗물수집장치와 BloomSky 기상 관측 장치는 고려대학교 공학관 옥상에 설치되었다. 본 연구에서는 2020 년 6 월 10 일부터 2020 년 9 월 7 일까지 총 16 개의 강우사상에 대한 빗물수집장치에 모이는 빗물의 양과 기상 자료를 관측하여 이용하였다. 그 결과, 빗물수집장치의 빗물의 양을 추정한 결과는 실제로 관측된 결과와 유사한 것으로 확인되었다. 16개의 강우사상에 대한 빗물집수량의 추정 결과와 관측 결과의 평균은 각각 1.770 mm/hr·m² 및 1.878 mm/hr·m²로 계산되었다. 표준 편차의 경우, 추정 결과는 1.269 mm/hr·m², 관측 결과는 1.181 mm/hr·m²로 나타났다.
