As an attempt to reduce the consumption of petroleum resources and to improve the performance of a kerosene engine, a series of experiments was conducted using several kinds of ethanol-kerosene blends under the various compression ratios. The engine used in this study was a single-cylinder, four-cycle kerosene engine having a compression ratio of 4.5. To investigate the feasibility of ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine, kerosene and blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used. And to investigate the feasibility of improving the performance of the kerosene engine, a portion of the cylinder head was cut off to increase the compression ratio up to 5.0 by reducing the combustion chamber volume. Kerosene and blends of 30-percent and 40-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used for the modified engine with an increased compression ratio. Variable speed tests at wide-open throttle were also conducted at five speed levels in the range of 1000 to 2200 rpm for each compression ratio and fuel type. Volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake specific fuel consumption were determined, and brake thermal efficiency based on the lower heating values of kerosene and ethanol was calculated. The results obtained in the study are summarized as follows: A. Test with the original engine: (1) No abnormal conditions were found when burning ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine. (2) Volumetric efficiency increased with ethanol concentration in blends. When burning blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent ethanol, by volume, with kerosene, average volumetric efficiency increased 1.6 percent, 2.6 percent, and 4.1 percent respectively, than when burning kerosene. (3) Mean engine torque increased 5.2 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 9.3 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 11.5 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. Increase in engine torque when using ethanol-kerosene blends was due to the improved combustion characteristics of ethanol as well as an increase in volumetric efficiency. (4) Up to ethanol concentration of 20 percent, mean brake specific fuel consumption was nearly constant inspite of the difference in heating value between ethanol and kerosene. (5) Brake thermal efficiency increased 0.3 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 3.8 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 6.8 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. B. Test with the modified engine with an increased compression ratio: (1) When burning kerosene, mean volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake thermal efficiency were somewhat lower than for the original engine. (2) Engine torque increased 15.1 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 18.4 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. (3) There was no significant difference in brake specific fuel consumption regardless of ethanol concentration in blends. (4) Brake thermal efficiency increased 15.0 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 19. 5 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene.

본 논문에서는 일정 토크영역에서 승압형 PFC 컨버터와 직접토크제어(DTC) 방법을 사용하여 BLDC 모터의 구동 시스템을 DSP(TMS320F2812)로 구현하였다. 기존의 6단계 PWM 전류제어와 달리 미리 정한 샘플시간 마다 간단한 look-up 표로부터 2상 도통 모드에 대한 인버터의 전압 상태 벡터를 설정함으로써 원하는 전류파형을 만들었으며 이로부터 기존의 전류제어기보다 훨씬 빠른 토크 응답특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 BLDC 모터의 비 이상적인 사다리형 역기전력에 의해 발생되는 저주파 토크변동을 저감하기 위하여 위치 loop-up 표를 사용하였다. 아울러 역률을 보정하기 위해 승압형 PFC 컨버터를 구성하였고 이 때 전파 정류된 입력전압과 출력전압, 인덕터의 전류에 의해 평균전류모드 제어 방식으로 80 kHz마다 PWM 듀티(duty)가 조절 되도록 하였다. 이와 같이 복잡한 제어 알고리즘은 초고속 DSP의 출현으로 PFC와 DTC 알고리즘이 동시에 제어가 가능하며, 본 논문에서는 DTC 알고리즘을 구현할 때 DSP의 일반 범용의 출력포트를 사용하여 구현하였고 단지 PFC에서만 1개의 PWM을 사용하여 디지털 제어기를 구현하였다. 실험을 통해 DTC 알고리즘과 PFC 컨버터를 이용한 BLDC 모터 구동 시스템의 타당성과 효용성을 보였고, 실험결과로부터 PFC 컨버터를 사용하지 않았을 때는 역률이 약 0.77이었으나 PFC 컨버터를 사용하였을 때는 부하변동에 관계없이 약 0.9997로 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 교환 결합 특성을 갖는 CoFe/MnIr 박막 재료에서 MnIr의 두께에 따라 측정한 토오크 신호를 Stoner-Wohlfarth 모델로 계산한 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 모델 계산을 위하여 일축 이방성 상수 $K_F$와 $K_{AF}$를 각각 갖는 강자성(F)층과 반강자성 (AF)층 계면에 작용하는 교환 결합 상수 $J_c$를 고려하였다. 고정되지 않는 AF층에 의한 회전 손실은 $0.5t_c$ < $t_{AF}$ < $t_c$ ($=J_c/K_{AF}$)의 범위에서 나타나며, 고정된 AF층에 의한 일방 이방성 상수 $J_k$는 $t_{AF}$ > $t_c$에서 나타났다. CoFe/MnIr 재료에서 임계두께는 $t_c$ = 3.4 nm였으며, $t_{AF}$ = 3 nm의 시편에서 측정한 토오크 신호에서 보인 회전 손실은 AF 결정립의 용이축이 모든 방향으로 고르게 분포한 특성으로 설명되었다. $t_{AF}$ = 10 nm의 시편에서 측정된 토오크 신호에서 추출한 일방 이방성 상수는 $J_k=0.63J_c$의 관계를 보였다. 따라서, 일방 이방성 상수는 AF 결정립의 용이축을 한쪽 방향으로 정렬할 경우 $J_k=J_c$가 되어 약 37 %의 특성 향상을 기대할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a novel airfoil named "KA2" for the blade of the wind turbine systems. Dynamic loads characteristics are analyzed and compared using aerodynamic data of ten airfoils including the proposed airfoil. The blade is divided into the sixteen elements in the longitudinal direction of the blade for applying the Blade Element Method Theory (BEMT) method, and in each element, torque, thrust, and pitching moment are calculated using turbulent time varying wind speed and aerodynamic data of each wing. Additionally, each force and torque is accumulated in the whole region of the blade for the estimation of representative values. The magnitude of such forces is comparatively analyzed for different airfoils. The angle of attack is constant below the rated wind speed due to the fact that the tip speed ratio is kept at the constant value, and it increases in the region of over rated wind speed as the tip speed ratio decreasing with constant rated rpm and increasing wind speed. Such increase in the angle of attack causes the changes of the force acting on the airfoil with different characteristics of lift and drag in the stall region of each different airfoil. Even though the mean wind speed is in the rated speed in a given time, because of the turbulence, it has either the over rated or under rated speed most of the time. Furthermore, the dynamic properties of each force are analyzed in this rated wind speed in order to objectively understand the dynamic properties of the blades which are designed based on the different airfoils. These dynamic properties are also compared by the standard deviation of time varying characteristics. Moreover, the output characteristics of the wind turbine are investigated with different airfoils and wind speeds. Based on these investigations, it was revealed that the proposed airfoil (KA2) is well applicable to the blade with passive pitch control system.

This paper presents a control-oriented dynamical model of a towing rope system with variable-length. In this system, a winch driven by a motor's torque uses the towing rope to pull a cart. In general, it is a difficult and complicated process to obtain an accurate mathematical model for this system. In particular, if the rope length is varied by operating the winch, the varying rope dynamics needs to be considered, and the key physical parameters need to be re-identified... However, real time parameter identification requires long computation time for the control scheme, and hence undesirable control performance. Therefore, in this article, the rope is modeled as a straight massless segment, with the mass of rope being considered partly with that of the cart, and partly as halfway to the winch. In addition, the changing spring constant and damping constant of the towing rope are accounted for as part of the dynamics of the winch. Finally, a reduced-order observer-based servomechanism controller is designed for the system, and the performance is evaluated by computer simulation.

In diesel engines, it is inevitable that the torsional vibration is produced by the fluctuation of engine torque. Therefore, it is necessary to establish preventive measures to diminish the torsional vibration. The sleeve spring type damper is one of the preventive measures for reducing the torsional vibration. In this study, a closed form equation to predict spring constant of the sleeve spring and torsional characteristic of the torsional vibration damper was proposed to calculate stiffness of the damper and verified their availability through the finite element analysis. The theoretical values have a good agreement with the results obtained by the finite element analysis. The results obtained from the equation derived enable the designers in actual fields to be more efficient.

In this paper a practical modelling methodology is presented for a series of aero- servo- elastic- coupled numerical analyses of small wind turbine operation, with particular emphasis on variable speed generator modelling in various wind speed conditions. The following characteristics are determined using the available computer tools: the tip speed ratio as a function of the generator constant (under the assumption of constant wind speed), the turbine coefficient of power as a function of the tip speed ratio (the torque curve is modified accordingly and generator speed and power curves are plotted), turbine power curves and coefficient of power curve as functions of the incoming wind speed. The last stage is to determine forces and torques acting on rotor blades and turbine tower for specific incoming wind speeds in order to examine the impact of the stall phenomena on these values (beyond the rated power of the turbine). It is shown that the obtained results demonstrate a valuable guideline for small wind turbines design process.

The outer race of CV(constant velocity) joint is an important load-supporting automotive part, which transmits torque between the transmission gear box and driving wheel. The outer race is difficult to forge because its shape is very complicated and the required dimensional tolerances are very small. Traditional warm and cold forging methods have their own limitations to produce such a complex shaped part; warm forging requires complex system with relatively higher manufacturing cost, while cold forging is not applicable to materials with limited formability. Therefore, multistage forging may be advantageous to produce complex shaped parts. In order to build a multistage forging system, it is necessary to characterize mechanical properties in response to system design parameters such as temperature, forging speed and reduction. For the analysis of formability of multistage forging process, finite element method(FEM) has been used for the process analysis. As a model case, a constant velocity (CV) joint forging process is analyzed by FEM, since CV joint has a complex shape and also its required dimensional tolerances are very tight. The data acquired by FEM is compared with operational forging data obtained from an industrial production line. Based on this comparative analysis, multistage forging process for CV joints is proposed.

The employment of the induction generator is preferable in the natural energy utilization by the minimum maintenance and the mechanical robustness, Another merit is also expected when it is connected to the power network system, because constant-voltage and constant frequency (CVCF) power generation is easily realized in spite of the variation of the rotor speed. However the induction generator needs much amount of the reactive power that reduces power factor in the primary side. The improvement of power factor in the primary side requires large VAR compensator, this point is solved, the merit of the induction machine as a main generator will become more established. This paper proposes a novel approach where the secondary is controlled by a PWM inverter not only to get CVCF power but also to improve the primary power factor. Basically the inverter is controlled so that the field current is supplied from the secondary side in this approach. The required capacity of the inverter is small, because only the slip power is controlled in the secondary side. In the experimental system where the sea wave torque simulator is used, the power factor is well improved by the microcomputer controlled PWM inverter.
