A clutch is a very important component when engine starts and gear shifting is needed. The clutch the most commonly used is the dry clutch. This type of clutch has pads, and they are worn after disengagement of clutch little by little. The characteristics of the clutch changes as these pads wear, so wear needs to be measured, and the clutch should be controlled for proper operation. In this study, the clutch contact point estimation algorithm has been developed. From this algorithm, clutch force map changes depending on wear, and the clutch operates properly. We also see the shifting transient of a vehicle for drivability with throttle valve position control and synchronizer movement.

An auto sampling and filtering unit was developed for monitoring automation of a fermentation process and its performance was evaluated. The automatic sampling and filtering unit was constructed with a glass filter, a diaphragm suction pump, and a flow direction change valve. To evaluate operating stability, delivery volumes of the suction pump were measured according to the experimental conditions of cellulose powder, pore size of the glass filter and suction head of the pump. The developed unit could deliver the sample solution under any experimental conditions except the filter pore size of $16{\mu}m$ and the suction head of 20cm. In case of the suction head of 30cm, the pump could not deliver the sample solution at all. Concentrations of the sample solutions were converged on those of the standard glucose solution after 8 minutes from the initial sampling time. The relative error of concentration between the sample and the standard solution showed 3.8, 4.8, 7.0% for the 1, 3, 5% contents of cellulose powder, respectively.

Pneumatic total artificial heart[TAH] has been clinically applied for the purpose of permanent or temporary use followed by cardiac transplantation in the patients with end stage heart diseases. In spite of the good durability of the pneumatic TAH, thrombus formation, bleeding and infection resulted in death. The Tomasu heart, which is a type of pneumatic TAH, was used in this study. This model is a modified Jarvik heart and consists of atrial cuffs, outflow vascular grafts and thin-layer seamless diaphragm type of ventricles. Cardiac outputs of the left artificial heart were measured by Donovan`s mock circulation under variable conditions of driving parameters, and an experimental artificial heart implantation was performed in 4 calves to observe the changes of hemodynamic parameters in early postoperative period and hematologic and bio-chemical changes in a long-term survival case. In the mock circulation test, cardiac output of the heart was increased with the increase of the left atrial pressure and left driving pressure. Maximum cardiac output was obtained at the heart rate of 120 to 130/min and percent systole of 40 to 45Zo under the condition of a constant left driving pressure of 180mmHg and left atrial pressure of 10mmHg. During the first 24 hours of TAH pumping, driving pressure ranged from 178$\pm$5mmHg to 187$\pm$8mmHg for the left heart and from 58$\pm$6mmHg to 78$\pm$28mmHg for the right heart. The Mean arterial pressure significantly increased between 2 and 8 hours after the start of pumping. The survival time ranged from 27 hours to 46 days. The causes of death were respiratory failure in 2 cases, mechanical valve failure in one, and left ventricular outflow obstruction due to thrombus in a 46-day survival case. This study demonstrated that Tomasu artificial heart operated effectively during the first 24 hours of artificial heart pumping, but thrombus formation around the valve holding area was the main problem in long-term survival case.

Compression waves propagating in a high-speed railway tunnel develops large pressure fluctuations on the train body or tunnel structures. The pressure fluctuations would cause an ear discomfort for the passengers and increase the aerodynamic resistance of trains. As a fundamental research to resolve the pressure wave phenomenon in the tunnel, experiments were carried out by using a shock tube with an open end. A blockage to model trains inside the tunnel was installed on the lower wall of shock tube, thus forming a sudden cross-sectional area reduction. The compression waves were obtained by the fast opening gate valve instead of a conventional diaphragm of shock tube and measured by the flush mounted pressure transducers with a high sensitivity. The experimental results were compared with the previous theoretical analyses. The results show that the ratio of the reflected to the incident compression wave at the sudden cross-sectional area reduction increases but the ratio of the passing to the incident compression wave decreases, as the incident compression wave becomes stronger. This experimental results are in good agreements with the previous theoretical ones. The maximum pressure gradient of the compression wave abruptly increases but the width of the wave front does not vary, as it passes over the sudden cross-sectional area reduction.

When a railway train enters a tunnel at high speed, a compression wave is formed in front of the train and propagates along the tunnel. The compression wave subsequently emerges from the exit of the tunnel, which causes an impulsive noise. In order to estimate the magnitudes of the noises and to effectively minimize them, the characteristics of the compression wave propagating in a tunnel must be understood. In the present paper, the experimental and analytical investigations on the attenuation and distortion of the propagating compression waves were carried out using a model tunnel. This facility is a kind of open-ended shock tube with a fast-opening gate valve instead of a general diaphragm. One-dimensional flow model employed in the present study could appropriately predict the strength of the compression wave, Mach number and flow velocity induced by the compression wave. The experimental results show that the strength of a compression wave decreases with the distance from the tunnel entrance. The decreasing rate of the wave strength and pressure gradient in the wave is strongly dependent on the strength of the initial compression wave at the tunnel entrance.

The therapy of injecting a fixed amount of a prescribed drug for a predetermined time is an effective treatment in relieving pain during anticancer treatments. Due to recent medical technology development, cancer is currently classified as a disease that can be managed in the patient's lifetime. If patients were able to use a drug delivery system that was portable, sustainable and had an accurate flow control, they would be able to inject medication whenever they need. In this study we developed a piezoelectric micropump for a drug delivery system by designing a pump chamber, check valve and diaphragm. We also developed a driving circuit that consumes low power and to which we applied a variety of signals. We fabricated a portable drug delivery system with this piezoelectric micropump and driving circuit. In addition, through a performance test, we confirmed that the system can precisely control the drug flow rate.

천연가스 자동차에 탑재되어 있는 연료압력 레귤레이터는 연료분사시스템의 압력을 일정하게 유지하는 역할을 한다. 연료압력의 정확한 제어는 천연가스 자동차가 가지고 있는 높은 효율성과 청정성을 십분 활용하기 위해서 반드시 필요한 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 천연가스 레귤레이터의 성능을 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 고압실험장치를 구축하였으며, 이 장치를 이용하여 두 가지 방식의 천연가스 레귤레이터를 평가하고 상호 비교를 하였다. 레귤레이터 밸브시스템의 설계에 따라 여러 가지 레귤레이터 성능 특성 중 동적응답과 Creep특성이 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 레귤레이터 입구 압력이 높을 경우 출구 가스의 온도가 급격히 감소하는 것으로 나타남으로써 아이싱문제를 효과적으로 방지할 수 있는 방안이 마련되어야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

이 논문은 디젤엔진 자동차의 EGR 및 공기 제어와 CPF 장치에 관련된 고장사례 연구이다. 첫 번째 사례는 엔진진공펌프 손상으로 인해 엔진오일이 EGR 밸브 내부 다이어프램 손상으로 인해 오일이 흡기로 유입되어 연소실로 들어가 불완전 연소함으로써 배기할 때 매연이 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 두 번째 사례의 원인은 공기제어 장치인 스로틀 플랩(throttle flap)을 점검하였을 때 스로틀 플랩이 고착되어 흡입공기량 부족에 의해 매연이 발생된 것을 확인하였다. 세 번째 사례는, 배기가스 온도센서의 불량으로 인해 온도를 감지하지 못해 재생기능이 되지 않아 매연이 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 배기가스발생으로 인한 환경오염 문제가 발생하지 않도록 최적의 상태를 유지하도록 관리하여야 한다.

백필터 집진기는 여러개 또는 수십개의 여과포를 구성하여 미세먼지를 정화시켜 깨끗한 공기를 대기에 방출시키는 일종의 공기청정기이다. 백필터 길이가 5m 이하인 경우 다이아프램 밸브에서 발생되는 압축공기를 벤추리를 통과시키는 것만으로도 백필터에 부착된 분진 및 흄을 효율적으로 탈진 할 수 있었다. 7m 이상의 롱백 탈진에 만족스러운 결과를 얻기 위해서는 더욱 효율이 높고 경제성 있는 인젝터 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 기존 국내외 인젝터의 경우 유지 보수시 다수의 블루튜브 해체작업과 인젝터와 블루튜브가 결합되어 중량증가로 인한 작업의 불편성 등 많은 문제를 내포하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 코안다 효과를 이용한 최적의 인젝터 개발을 위한 유동해석과 4차 산업의 지능형 자동화 탈진 기술이 접목되어, 기존 설비 대비 에너지 비용저감 및 필터 수명향상 등을 획기적으로 개선시키고자 하는 상용화 연구를 수행하였다.
