단순한 모델링이 아닌 3차원의 정밀한 모델링을 이용하여 연료전지 내부에서의 상황을 모사하였다. 자동차 엔진, 비행기 등의 설계에 있어서 실제 실험의 횟수를 줄여주기 위하여 매우 정밀한 전산유체역학(CFD)이 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 CD-ADAPCO사의 STAR-CD를 이용하여 고체고분자전해질형 연료전지(PEMFC)의 성능을 분석하였다. PEMFC 단위전지의 형상과 유로의 흐름의 변화에 따른 성능의 영향성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 rectangular cell 의 성능이 square cell 보다 높게 나타났으며 유체흐름의 방향은 성능에 큰 영향을 미치지 못했다. 또한 공기의 과잉률에 따른 전체적인 연료전지의 성능을 비교하였으며, 또한 PEMFC 내부에서의 전류밀도의 분포에 관한 분석을 실시하여 그 결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 flip-flow의 경우가 co-flow의 경우에 비하여 최대치와 최고치의 값의 편차가 작은 것으로 확인되어 보다 균일한 분포를 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 Enhanced Segmentized Clear Channel Assessment(ESCCA)를 수행하여 디바이스의 데이터 전송 기회를 증가시킴으로써 전체 네트워크의 전송효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 기법은 IEEE 802.15.4 에서 채널 상태탐지를 위해 수행되는 Energy detection based CCA 의 기간을 반으로 나누고, 채널 상태에 따라 CCA 를 추가적으로 수행함으로써 디바이스의 패킷 전송기회를 증가시켜 전체 네트워크의 전송 효율을 향상시킨다. 제시한 기법의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 star topology 네트워크에서 디바이스들이 코디네이터로 패킷을 전송하는 환경에 본 논문에서 제시한 기법을 적용하여 IEEE 802.15.4 의 CCA 및 Segmentized CCA 기법을 적용한 결과와 성능을 비교하였다. 실험결과, throughput은 IEEE 802.15.4 CCA에 비해 최대 약 10kbps, 평균 CCA 횟수는 최대 약 15회 감소하였음을 확인하였다.

건물의 에너지사용량을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 에너지의 사용에 대한 모니터링이 우선시 되어야 한다. 건물에서의 에너지사용량은 크게 에너지원별, 용도별, 구역별로 구분하여 관리할 수 있다. 에너지원별이란 건물의 설비를 가동하기 위해 공급되는 전기, 가스, 연료, 지역난방 등을 의미한다. 용도별이란 크게 냉방, 난방, 조명, 급탕, 환기와 같이 5대 용도로 구분할 수 있지만, 5대 용도 안에 포함시키기 어려운 엘리베이터나 전열기기 등은 별로도 분류하는 것을 의미한다. 이 외 구역별은 건물의 사용목적이나 사용용도가 비슷하거나 구분되는 지역을 묶어서 비교 관리 하거나 별도 관리 하는 것을 말한다. 이 밖에 에너지의 효율관리에서는 건물의 에너지사용량에 영향을 주는 온도, 습도와 재실자에 대한 관리가 필요하며, 최근 문제가 되는 미세먼지는 건물의 환기에 직접적인 영향을 주기 때문에 이에 대한 관리도 병행되어야 한다.

Organosilyl-modified and star-shaped poly (${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (m-PCL) was prepared, and added to polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSSQ), to make composites. The end groups of m-PCL are chemically similar to PMSSQ, and m-PCL mixed well with PMSSQ in the composite. Porous PMSSQ film was made by further calcination of the composite film at elevated temperature. m-PCL-templated PMSSQ and the as-prepared porous PMSSQ were structurally, optically, and thermally characterized in thin films. The chemical binding of m-PCL and PMSSQ effectively suppressed the phase separation of PMSSQ and m-PCL during the curing process. After calcination at elevated temperature, there remained many pores in the PMSSQ matrix. The refractive indices of the resulting porous PMSSQ thin films decreased with increase of the film porosities, depending on the initial m-PCL loadings.

This paper deals with an integrated voltage and frequency (VF) controller for isolated asynchronous generators (IAG) driven by a constant power pico-hydro uncontrolled turbine feeding three-phase four-wire loads. The proposed VF controller is used to control the frequency and voltage of an IAG with load leveling. Such a VF controller is also known as an integrated electronic load controller (IELC) which is realized using an isolated star/polygon transformer with a voltage source converter (VSC) and a battery at its DC bus. The proposed generating system with a VFC is modeled and simulated in MATLAB along with Simulink and Simpower system (SPS) toolboxes. The simulated results are presented to demonstrate the performance of an isolated asynchronous generator feeding three-phase four-wire loads with neutral current compensation.

Fluid flow and heat transfer in rectangular duct system are measured and computed by commercial software of Star-CD for comparison between them. Three rectangular systems are investigated in this study. Those are a rectangular duct with 90 degree bended elbow, a rectangular duct with two branchs, and a circular cylinder in a rectangular duct. But heat transfer is studied only for last system. These investigations show us that the numerical solutions predict satisfactorily design factors (K-factor for the elbowed duct, distributions of flow rates into each branch from a duct, and Nusselt number around circular cylinder) even though there are some disagreements in velocity profiles and turbulent kinetic energy.

Spray impingement and fuel film formation models with cavitation have been developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code, STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process was modeled by considering the effects of surface temperature conditions and fuel film formation. The behavior of fuel droplets after impingement was divided into rebound, spread and splash using the Weber number and parameter K(equation omitted). The spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation, and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. The fuel film formation model was developed by integrating the continuity, momentum, and energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. Zero dimensional cavitation model was adopted in order to consider the cavitation phenomena and to give reasonable initial conditions for spray injection. Numerical simulations of spray tip penetration, spray impingement patterns, and the mass of film-state fuel matched well with the experimental data. The spray impingement and fuel film formation models have been applied to study spray/wall impingement in high-speed direct injection diesel engines.

Neutron stars (NS) are rapidly spinning compact objects. Their rotation energy is released by particles, electromagnetic waves, and even gravitational waves. The source of the energy is of course the rotation, so by studying the rotational properties of neutron stars, we can gain some insights into matter under extreme conditions. In particular, it is known that the braking index n is sensitive to the moment of inertia and/or NS winds. The neutron star PSR B0540-69 exhibits interesting timing behavior; previous measurements of the braking index for this pulsar may suggest a change in time. In order to see if the change is real, We investigate the timing properties of B0540-69 using recent ~1000-days Swift satellite data.

The aim of this paper is to perform the experiment and the numerical simulation for investigating the heat transfer in a regenerator system with ceramic honeycomb and to suggest a useful correlation for optimization of the regenerator system. For achieving this, the effects of some parameters were investigated, e. g., switching time, cell size and length of honeycomb on the mean temperature efficiency. The measured temperatures by R-type thermocouples were compared with the predictions by means of the commercial package, STAR-CD. A useful correlation for thermal efficiency was newly proposed as a function of the normalized switching time, defined in terms of switching time, cell size and length of honeycomb. The results showed that the thermal efficiency is above 90% and the normalized heat exchange rate is higher than 80% when the normalized switching time is less than 1000.

Spray impingement model and fuel film formation model were developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code, STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process were modelled by considering the change of behaviour with surface temperature condition and fuel film formation. We divided behaviour of fuel droplets after impingement into stick, rebound and splash using Weber number and parameter K. Spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. A fuel film formation model was developed by Integrating the continuity, the Navier-Stokes and the energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. The validation of the model was conducted using diesel spray experimental data and gasoline spray impingement experiment. In all cases, the prediction compared reasonably well with experimental results. Spray impingement model and fuel film formation model have been applied to a direct injection diesel engine combustion chamber.
