Since the interior shape of a pressure regulator is complex and the change of fluid resistance at each operation condition is rapid and big, the pressure regulator can become the major factor that causes big loss in pipelines. So the suitable pressure regulator modeling by each operation condition is important to obtain reliable results especially in small scale pipeline network analysis. And in order to prevent the condensation and freezing problems, it is needed to confirm both whether temperature recovery is achieved after passing by the pressure regulator's narrow neck and how much amount of low temperature area that can cause condensate accumulation is distributed by various PCV models at every inlet-outlet pressure ratio. In this research, the numerical model resembling P company pressure regulator that is used widely for high pressure range in commercial, is adopted as the base model of CFD analysis to investigate pressure regulator's flow characteristics at each pressure ratio. Additionally it is also introduced to examine pressure regulator's critical flow characteristics and possibility of condensation or freezing at each pressure ratio. Furthermore, the comparison between the results of CFD analysis and the results of analytic solution obtained by compressible fluid-dynamics theory is attempted to validate the results of CFD modeling in this study and to estimate the accuracy of theoretical approach at each pressure ratio too.

The nonlinear snap-through buckling of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) curved tubes is analytically investigated in this research. It is assumed that the FG-CNTRC curved tube is supported on a three-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and is subjected to the uniformly distributed pressure and thermal loads. Properties of the curved nanocomposite tube are distributed across the radius of the pipe and are given by means of a refined rule of mixtures approach. It is also assumed that all thermomechanical properties of the nanocomposite tube are temperature-dependent. The governing equations of the curved tube are obtained using a higher-order shear deformation theory, where the traction free boundary conditions are satisfied on the top and bottom surfaces of the tube. The von Kármán type of geometrical non-linearity is included into the formulation to consider the large deflection in the curved tube. Equations of motion are solved using the two-step perturbation technique for nanocomposite curved tubes which are simply-supported and clamped. Closed-form expressions are provided to estimate the snap-buckling resistance of FG-CNTRC curved pipes rested on nonlinear elastic foundation in thermal environment. Numerical results are given to explore the effects of the distribution pattern and volume fraction of CNTs, thermal field, foundation stiffnesses, and geometrical parameters on the instability of the curved nanocomposite tube.

Two phase thermosyphone loop for electronics cooling are designed and manufactured to test its performance under the partial load and low environment temperature conditions. The thermosyphone device has six evaporators connected parallel for the purpose of cooling six power amplifier units (PAU) independently. The heater modules for simulating PAUs are adhered with thermal pad to the evaporator plates to reduce the contact resistance. There are unbalanced distributions of liquid refrigerant in the differently heated evaporators due to the vapor pressure difference. To reduce the vapor pressure differences caused by partial heating, two evaporators are connected each other using the copper tube. The pressure regulation tube successfully reduces these unbalances and it is good candidates for a field distributed systems. Under the low environment temperature operating condition, such as $-30^{\circ}C$, there may be unexpected subcooling in condenser. It leads the very low saturation pressure, and under this condition there exists explosive boiling in evaporator. The abrupt pressure rise due to the explosive boiling inhibits the supplement of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator for continuous cooling. Finally the cooling cycle will be broken. For the normal circulation of refrigerant there may be an optimum cooling air flow rate in condenser to adjust the given heat load.

PEMFC(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) 고분자 막의 shorting 저항(Shorting Resistance, SR)은 고분자 막의 내구성에 관한 중요한 지표다. SR이 감소하면 shorting 전류(Shorting Current, SC)가 증가하여 내구성과 성능이 감소하고, SR이 약 0.1 kΩ·㎠ 이하가 되면 shorting이 발생하여 온도가 급상승하고 MEA(Membrane Electrode Assembly)를 연소시켜 스택 구동이 종료된다. Shorting 현상을 방지하기 위해서는 SR을 제어해야 하므로 SR에 영향을 주는 조건들에 대해서 연구하였다. SR 측정방법들에서도 차이가 있어서 DOE(Department of Energy)와 NEDO(New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) 방법을 개선한 SR 측정법을 제시하였다. 상대습도와 온도, 셀 체결 압이 상승하면 SR이 감소함을 확인하였다. 고분자 막의 가속내구 평가과정에서 마지막 단계에서 SR이 0.1 kΩ·㎠ 이하로 급감해 수소투과전류밀도가 15 mA/㎠ 이상이 되었고, 이 MEA를 해체 후 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) 분석한 결과 고분자 막 내부에 백금이 많이 분포함을 보였다.

Ceramic materials have excellent material properties such as stability at high temperatures, chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, so they are applicable even in extreme environments of high temperature and pressure. In particular, silicon carbide can be applied in the field of structural ceramics due to its characteristics of high strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance even at high temperatures. In this study, considering the application of silicon carbide materials to next-generation turbines, silicon carbide materials were manufactured using a liquid phase sintering method. When manufacturing liquid phase sintered silicon carbide, sintering additives were added to lower the sintering temperature and densify the material. In Al₂O₃-SiO₂, it was confirmed that the secondary product of the sintering additive was observed as a slightly dark area and was evenly distributed overall, and the fracture surface of Al₂O₃-SiO₂ was in the form of transgranular fracture in which cracks progressed along the crystal plane, and the flexural strength for Al₂O₃-SiO₂ was about 445.6 MPa.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device in which the energy of a chemical reaction is converted directly into electricity. By combining hydrogen fuel with oxygen from air, electricity is formed, without combustion of any form. Water and heat are the only by-products when hydrogen is used as the fuel source. Fuel cell stack consists of multi-layered unit cells. A unit cell consists of MEA and bipolar plates. The end plate of fuel cell stack should give a uniform distributed pressure to multi unit cell layers so as to reduce the contact resistance and to prevent the leakage of reactant gases and the damage of multi layer components. The current end plate is redundantly large and heavy. It makes the power per unit volume reduced. Topology optimization of end plate is conducted for mass reduction and enhancement of bending rigidity. The evaluation of the current design and the recommendation for the future design is remarked.

WC-Co and other similar cemented carbides have been widely used as hard materials in industrial cutting tools and as mould metals; and a number of techniques have been applied to improve its microstructural characteristics, hardness and ear resistance. Cobalt is used primarily to facilitate liquid phase sintering and acts as a matrix, i.e. a cementing phase between WC grains. A uniform distribution of metal phase in a ceramic is beneficial for improved mechanical properties of the composite. WC-Co, starting from initial powders, is vastly used for a variety of machining, cutting, drilling, and other applications because of its unique combination of high strength, high hardness, high toughness, and moderate modulus of elasticity, especially with fine grained WC and finely distributed cobalt. In this study, that started with two different compositions of initial powders, WC-7.5wt%Co and WC-12wt%Co with initial powder size being 1~3 ${\mu}m$, magnetic pulsed compaction followed by subsequent vacuum sintering were carried out to produce consolidated preforms. Magnetic Pulsed Compaction (MPC), a very short duration (~600 ${\mu}s$), high pressure (~4 Gpa), high-density preform molding method was used with varied pressure between 0.5 and 3.0 Gpa, in order to reach an initial high density that would help improve the sintering behavior. For both compositions and varied MPC pressure, before and after sintering, changes in microstructural behavior and mechanical properties were analyzed. With proper combination of MPC pressure and sintering, samples were obtained with better mechanical properties, densification and microstructural behavior, and considerably improved than other conventional processes.

포텐셜을 기저로 하는 판요소법을 사용하여 자유 표면이 존재하는 유동장에서 일정 속도로 전진하는 3차원 물체의 형상을 설계하였다. 설계 방법으로는 원하는 압력 분포를 경계 조건으로 부여하고 이를 만족하는 물체 형상을 찾아내는 역해석법(inverse method)을 사용하였다. 즉, 주어진 압력으로부터 물체 표면에 분포된 법선 다이폴의 세기인 포텐셜 값을 결정하게 되며, 이는 물체 표면에 대한 Dirichlet형태의 경계 조건으로서 Green의 정리로부터 유도된 적분 방정식을 해석하게 된다. 전체 속도 포텐셜은 기본 유동인 선속에 대한 성분과 선제에 의하여 교란되는 성분으로 구성되어진다고 가정하였으며, 교란 포텐셜을 사용하여 선형화된 자유 표면 경계 조건을 적용하였다. 적분 방정식에 대한 수치 해석을 위해 물체 표면에 법선 다이폴과 Rankine 쏘오스를 분포하였으며, 자유 표면에는 Rankine 쏘오스를 분포하고 4점 유한 차분법을 사용하여 자유 표면 경계 조건이 만족되도록 하였다. 해로서 얻어지는 각 판요소에서의 Rankine 쏘오스의 세기는 가상의 유동 출입량으로서 형상 수정항으로 사용되었다. 몰수 회전 타원체의 형상 설계에 대하여 본 설계법을 적용한 결과 무한 수심에서나 조파 상태에서 $4{\sim}6$회의 반복 계산으로 충분히 수렴된 해를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 자유 표면을 가르고 전진하는 Wigley 수학적 선형에 대한 형상 설계를 수행하여 만족스러운 결과를 얻어내었으며, 얻어진 수치해는 매우 안정적이고 빠른 수렴성을 보였다. 선형의 우열 비교를 통해 조파 저항을 감소시킬 수 있는 압력 분포의 형태를 파악하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 조파 저항의 관점에서의 5500TEU급 콘테이너 운반선의 설계를 수행하였다. 설계되어진 새로운 선형은 조파 저항의 관점에서 기존의 선형보다 계산과 실험에서 모두 우수하게 개량된 것으로 나타났다.

This study focuses on measuring the relative wave elevation around the KSUPRAMAX-O ship and comparing it with numerical analysis results (potential and computational fluid dynamics). The relative wave elevation is a good indicator of the pressure distribution on the ship's surface, which is affected by the ship's motion, incident waves, and distributed waves. Prior to measuring the relative wave elevation, a comparative test was conducted on resistance type, capacitance type, and ultrasonic type wave probe to measure the relative wave elevation, and it was confirmed that the resistance type wave probe was suitable for measuring the relative wave elevation. A model test was performed at low speed and design speed using resistance type wave probe and compared with the results of numerical analysis result. As for the motion response, it was confirmed that the result of experiments and the result of the numerical analysis were in good agreement. The relative wave elevation showed a similar trend between the experiment and the computational fluid dynamics, but the potential analysis result showed a difference from the experiment in design speed.
