A numerical study on the Trombe wall system, a kind of passive solar systems, has been peformed. The system is modelled as the 2-dimensional steady laminar flow with the natural convection. The PHOENICS code was employed to analyse the performance variation due to the change in the geometrical factor. The mass flow rate and the maximum temperature are changed by the variations in the width of the vents, the width between the window and the wall, and the location of the vents. And there exists the optimal condition to maximize the utilization factor. Further precise analysis has been performed to show the optimal geometry with regard to the above three factors.

The goal of this paper is to develop a standard side mirror geometry that will perform well across multiple vehicles. One of the important performance attributes of a side mirror is the amount of wind noise generated under the flow conditions on a car. PowerFLOW can be used for Computer Aided Testing of the aeroacoustics performance of a design in addition to directing design modifications based on a detailed analysis of the flow structures responsible for the noise generation. Alternatively, a Design of Experiment (DOE) approach is useful to explore the design space without any a-priori assumptions of the effects of design parameter changes. Some general design guidelines regarding the significant mirror geometry factors will be determined which may help to reduce vehicle development time and cost in the future. The results of this research will also allow us to estimate the trade-off between cost saving and performance optimum related to using a standard mirror shape for different vehicles.

Nickel iron (Ni-Fe) alloy coating was investigated. The effects of the current density, current type, pulse duration and bath compositions on the morphologies and surface hardness of nickeliron deposits as well as the chemical compositions were investigated. The morphologies, surface hardness and chemical compositions of nickel-iron deposits were varied with current density, current type and bath compositions. The surface hardness was increased up to $550{\sim}600Hv$ when PC plating was employed. Crackless coating was obtained when saccharin was added. The change of composition with thickness was analyzed with EDS and FESEM.

Optimal shape of a typical ramjet intake is examined numerically to maximize the total pressure recovery. A response surface method is introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the each design domain. The first deflection angle of ramp, the area of inlet throat, and the diffuser angle are chosen as a design parameter. ANOVA is used to verify the trustability of the achieved response surface. The total pressure recovery of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, is increased by 36%. The loss of viscosity through the diffuser is estimated less than 5%.

This paper optimized the design parameters of the offset strip fin in a heat exchanger. To decrease the pressure drop and increase heat transfer, the performance factors such as j/f, $j/f^{1/3}$, and JF, which could be used to estimate the pressure drop and heat transfer simultaneously, were employed as the criteria for optimization. In the present study, STDQAO, PQRSM, and MGA were used for solving the constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The JF factor and heat transfer performance of the optimized offset-strip fin were greater than those of the reference offset-strip fin by 36% and 280%, respectively.

본 연구에서는 유역 특성 인자와 지점 유량-유사량 관계식의 상관성 분석을 하였다. 대상 지점은 군남, 청미(이상 한강 유역), 향석, 동문, 선산, 동촌, 개진2(이상 낙동강 유역), 회덕, 합강(이상 금강 유역), 선암, 남평(이상 영산강 유역)을 선정하였다. 대상 지점의 상류에 댐이 있을 경우 유량-유사량 관계식이 왜곡될 가능성이 있기 때문에 이상 지점은 상류에 댐이 없는 곳으로 선정되었다. 이들 지점을 출구로 하는 유역을 정의하고 각 유역의 형상계수, 수면 폭, 단면적, 하천 총 길이 등을 조사하여 유량-유사량 관계식과 비교하였다. 분석 결과 수면 폭, 단면적, 하천 총 길이가 증가할수록 관계식의 계수는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈고 지수는 증가하는 형태를 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 형상계수는 뚜렷한 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 유량-유사량의 경향성을 파악하기 위해 기존의 측정성과와 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 비교 분석한 결과 대부분 유사한 특성과 경향성을 나타내었으나 일부 다른 특성을 보인 지점도 존재하였다. 본 연구는 특정 지점의 유량-유사량 관계가 유역의 지형 특성에 영향을 받는 다는 것을 시사하는 초기 연구로 향후 추가 연구를 통해 그 영향을 규명할 필요성을 보여준다.

The objective of this study is to optimize the shape of doubly curved surface where a conformal array is equipped. That surface is modeled with a double-ellipsoid solid controlled by four parameters. By analyzing the performance of the conformal array beams with the beam pattern synthesis, two design parameters are determined. Then, we define the weighted object function which is formulated as the sum of sharp indexes for directivity index, the elevation resolution, and the bearing resolution. The direct calculation on all grids is used to evaluate the weighted object function and seek the optimal value of two design parameters when the weightings are given. In the simulation, four kinds of weighting cases are respectively applied to evaluate the weighted object function. The optimal shapes of double-ellipsoid solid are shown in each case. Especially, when the uniform weightings are used, the double-ellipsoid solid with more smooth surface is obtained.

Natural gas is a promising alternative fuel that can be used to satisfy the strict engine emission regulations in many countries. To develop natural-gas engines, low emission, efficient fuel consumption, and increased power ratings have to be realized. In this study, a cylindrical constant-volume combustion chamber (CVCC) was used to investigate natural-gas combustion characteristics for different prechamber design parameters and equivalence ratios. In particular, the maximum combustion pressure and mass fraction of the burned gas were evaluated by considering orifice diameter, volume ratio of prechamber and equivalence ratio. Using this result and by analyzing the changes in combustion characteristics with variations in design parameters, the optimum prechamber parameters were determined.

유역의 형상은 강우, 산사태 등과 같은 지배적인 침식작용과 더불어 지형 지질학적 요인들에 의해 결정되어 진다. 그러므로 유역형상에 대한 공간특성 분석을 위해서는 지형학적 요인과 다양한 침식작용에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 국내 외 많은 연구결과에 의하면 지형학적 인자에 의한 침식 형태는 국부경사와 집수면적의 크기에 의해 다양한 구간으로 나뉘며, 그 특성에 따라 지표침식, 세굴, 산사태 등으로 구분되는 것으로 연구된 바 있다. 일례로 유역 내 세굴과 관련된 지배인자는 집수면적보다는 국부경사에 반대로 지표침식, 산사태는 국부경사보다는 집수면적의 크기에 따라 영향을 받는다. 따라서 지형학적 인자(국부경사, 집수면적)의 임계치(threshold) 산출을 통해 침식특성(불안정지역)을 검토할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 물리적 검증은 여러 연구를 통해 물질플럭스(유량, 에너지)에 대한 Power Law로써 검증된바 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 지형학적 침식특성 분석을 위하여 2006년 집중호우에 의해 광역적 산사태가 발생한 강원도 평창군 진부면 일대의 $10m{\times}10m$ DEM로부터 국부경사, 집수면적을 산출하고 경사-면적한계곡선(Slope-Area Threshold Curve, SATC), 배수면적 확률분포곡선(Probability distribution of Drain Areas Curve, PDAC), 에너지지수 확률분포곡선(Probability distribution of Energy Index Curve, PEIC)를 실제 산사태지점과 중첩하여 도시하였다. 그 결과, 특정 임계구간(Threshold Area, Unstable area, 2~3권역)내에서 산사태 발생지점이 분포하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 통해 지형학적 인자만을 고려하여 미계측 유역에 대한 잠재적 불안정지역의 판별이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 추후 광역적 사면안정해석에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
