Gas turbine blades serviced for a period are usually repaired for reuse via "rejuvenation processes" including fluoride ion cleaning, brazing or welding, and recoating. Among these processes, the welding process is applied to rebuilt damaged parts of the blade in which welding materials being mostly Ni base superalloy are supplied in the form of powder or wire. When powder is used in the welding process, the uniform supply of powder is a very important factor for the uniformity of welding. According to our experience, the uniformity was very poor with the powder supply system only utilizing pressurized air flow. A new powder supply system was developed in which powder is supplied via air flow and simultaneously mechanically. The welding uniformity was much improved with this new system. In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of welded parts obtained from several kinds of powder using the new powder supply system were characterized.

Blower as an air supply system is one of the most important BOP (Balance of Plant) system fur FCV(Fuel Cell Vehicle). For generating and blowing compressed air, the motor of air blower consumes maximum 25% of net power and fuel cell demands a clean air. Considering the efficiency of whole FCV, low friction lubrication of high speed rotor is needed. For the purpose of reducing electrical power and supplying clean air to Fuel cell, oil-free air foil bearings are applied at the each side of brushless motor (BLDC) as journal bearings which diameter is 50mm. The normal power of driving motor has 1.7kW with the 30,000rpm operating range and the flow rate of air has maximum 160 SCFM. The impeller of blower was adopted a mixed type of centrifugal and axial which has several advantages for variable operating condition. The performance of turbo-blower and parameters of air foil bearings was investigated analytically and experimentally. From this study, the performance of the blower was confirmed to be suitable far 80kw PEM FC.

With the increasing demands for clean environment development of air cleaning systems has been received increasing attention. Pulse power systems are widely used for air cleaning in the industrial applications. High voltage pulse power supply affects the performance of the overall environmental system. In this study high voltage micro pulse power supply for removing NOx in diesel engines is developed. The ratings of the pulse voltage is 20kV. The pulse width is 10usec and max. pulse repetition ratio is 1kHz.

A common approach to achieve better thermal comfort with hydronic radiant floor heating system is supply water temperature control. This is the control method through which supply water temperature is varied with outdoor temperature. In this study, a comprehensive, yet simple calculation method to find optimum supply water temperature is evaluated by combining heat loss from the building and heat emission from the hydronic radiant floor heating system. And then the control performance of suggested calculation method is confirmed through experiment. It is shown that indoor air temperature is stably maintained around the set point.

In case of engine room of ship, it uses type 2 ventilation system which supplies outside air forcibly by engine room ventilation fan, and naturally discharges air to outlet through low-pressed casing. The advantage of type 2 ventilation is that it makes inside with bi-pressure status to discharge contaminated materials to outside naturally. However, there is a phenomenon that pressure is greatly different between outside and inside due to huge amount of air supply by engine room ventilation fan. Therefore, we went aboard a container vessel which is on test run to analyze differential pressure with micronanometer by engine load and by combustion air supply method of engine. As a result, as engine load decreases (50, 75, 100%), the differential pressure between outside and inside tends to increase by 35% average, and the difference of pressure was 6.5 times maximum by combustion air supply method of engine.

Commercial coal gasifiers typically use entrained flow type reactors, but have unique features in terms of reactor shape, gasifying agent, coal feeding type, ash/slag discharge, and reaction stages. The MHI gasifier is characterized as air-blow dry-feed entrained reactor, which incorporates a short combustion stage at the bottom and a tall gasification stage above. This study investigates the flow and reaction characteristics inside a MHI gasifier by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in order to understand its design and operation features. For its pilot-scale system at 200 ton/day capacity, the distribution of coal and air supply between the two reaction stages was varied. It was found that the syngas composition and carbon conversion rate were not significantly influenced by the changes in the distribution of coal and air supply. However, the temperature, velocity and flow pattern changed sensitively to the changes in the distribution of coal and air supply. The results suggest that one key factor to determine the operational ranges of coal and air supply would be the temperature and flow pattern along the narrower wall between the two reaction stages.

The near-optimal control algorithm for central cooling and heating system has been developed for minimizing energy consumption while maintaining the comfort of indoor thermal environment in terms of the environmental variables such as time varying indoor load and outdoor temperatures. The optimal set-points of control parameters with near-optimal control are supply air and chilled or hot water temperatures. The near optimal control algorithm has been implemented by using LabVIEW program in order to analyze energy performance for central cooling and heating control system.

In order to evaluate and improve the performance of local exhaust ventilation systems for two TCE degreasing (A, B) and two electroplating (C, E) and one acid dipping & plating (D) operations located in Kimhae, the performance test was conducted with trace gases and a thermal anemometer (Kanomax 24-6111, Japan). For the inadequately designed systems, the improvement and redesigns in compliance with recommendation by ACGIH was suggested. The results of performance test for each system are as follows; 1. System of Workplace A was generally well-designed. Actual exhaust air flow rate was in excess of 68% above the recommended standard exhaust air flow rate. 2. System of Workplace B was very well-designed and completely enclosed. 3. All systems of Workplace C including hoods were poorly-designed and actual exhaust air flow rates were insufficient for open tanks. All systems should be upgraded according to ACGIH recommendations. 4. Supply and exhaust air flow rate of push-pull exhaust systems in Workplace D should be greatly increased. The width of flange of dipping tank hood should be increased with the value suggested. 5. System of Workplace E was well-designed. Actual exhaust air flow rate was in excess of 54% above the required.

It has been reported about the energy saving performance of UFAD(under floor air distribution) system and NPC(night purge cooling) system respectively which are applied for commercial buildings. However, when two systems are used at the same time, the effect of heat transfer from floor plenum to slab may vary depending on the operating conditions of NPC. In this study, cooling energy demands were analyzed for building models with UFAD and NPC by using TRNSYS 17 program. UFAD was applied as a cooling system of the base building model, and the cooling energy demands were compared for 64 cases in which the operating time, supply airflow rate, and outdoor air temperature(T_o) of NPC. As a result, it was confirmed that the cooling energy demands were reduced to 30 ~ 80% level compared to UFAD alone, and in particular, the energy demand was reduced in proportion to the supply airflow rate or the operating time while T_o was 16 ~ 20℃. However, when T_o was 22℃, the increase in the supply airflow rate or the operating time results in a disadvantage in terms of cooling energy demands. In addition, the cooling energy demands for UFAD+NPC model were analyzed by applying weather data from three regions with different average outdoor air temperatures. As a result, the cooling energy demand of operating NPC only when T_o was below 20℃ was reduced by 27% compared to that of operating NPC continuously for 8 hours.
