Recently people have been offered location based services on road networks. The navigation system, one of applications, serves to find the nearest gas station or guide divers to the shortest path based 2D map. However 3D map is more important media than 2D map to make sense friendly for the real. Although 3D map's data size is huge, portable devices' storage space is small. In this paper, we define continuous perspective queries to support 3D map to mobile user on road networks and propose this queries processing method.

The reliability of blade root fixing section is required to endure the centrifugal force and vibration stress for the last stage blade of steam turbine in thermal power plant. Most of the domestic steam turbine last stage blades have finger type roots. The finger type blade is very complex, so the inspection had been performed only on the exposed fixing pin cross-section area due to the difficulty of inspection. But the centrifugal force and vibration stress are also applied at the blade root finger and the crack generates, so the inspection method for finger section is necessary. For the inspection of root finger, inspection points were decided by simulating ultra-sonic path with 3D modeling, curve-shape probe and fixing jig were invented, and the characteristics analysis method of ultrasonic reflection signal and defect signal disposition method were invented. This invented method was actually executed at site and prevented the blade liberation failure by detecting the cracks at the fingers. Also, the same type blades of the other turbines were inspected periodically and the reliability of the turbine increased.

The helicopter flies at low level flight mode in its own operational range comparing to other aircraft categories. The low level flight means that the engine operates at variable atmospheric condition such as hot and cold temperature, snow, heavy rain, etc. Furthermore it may increase the entering possibility of engine foreign object damage particles like sand, dust, etc., i.e. this operating condition gives rise to damages of engine gas path components. An on-line condition monitoring program was developed by using SIMULINK, where measurement signals were simulated as an input module. The reliability and capability of the developed on-line condition monitoring were confirmed through application to a real helicopter engine health monitoring.

Fluidized bed reactors operated in subatmospheric pressure has been focused because several industrial applications such as vacuum drying and plasma cvd requires reduced pressure fludization. However, the hydrodynamics of fluidized beds in subatmospheric pressure has not been extensively investigated. The pressure drop in the fluidized bed has been measured with variation of downstream pressures from 1.33 to 101.3 kPa in the shallow and deep fluidized beds under the sub-atmospheric pressures. The obtained minimum fluidization velocity of powders is a function of pressure due to the changes of gas density and mean free path. We can experimentally determine the critical Knudsen number and the critical pressure to define the slip regime significantly to influence the hydrodynamics of fluidized beds.

Supercapacitors, which can deliver significant energy with high power density, have attracted a lot of attention due to their potential application in energy storage. Among various oxide materials, sodium vanadate has been recognized as one of the most promising electrode materials because of high electrical conductivity. In addition, larger layer spacing of ${\beta}$-Na0.33V2O5 compared to V2O5 makes easier Li+ insertion. Moreover, ${\beta}$-Na0.33V2O5 has a tunnel like structure along b axis with 3 kinds of V site allowing it to enhance the ion intercalation by introducing three different intercalation sites along the tunnel. The tunnel can act as a fast diffusion path for ion diffusion, which can improve the overall charge storage kinetics. In this study, high quality single crystalline sodium vanadate (${\beta}$-Na0.33V2O5) nanowires were grown directly on Pt coated $SiO_2$ substrate by a facile chemical solution deposition method without employing catalyst, surfactant or carrier gas. The results show that great enhancement in capacitance was observed compared with previous reports.

Convenient analytical tools for evaluation of the aperiodic and the fluctuating instabilities of the passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) of an integral reactor are developed and results are discussed from the viewpoint of the system design. First, a static model for the aperiodic instability using the system hydraulic loss relation and the downcomer feedwater heating equations is developed. The calculated hydraulic relation between the pressure drop and the feedwater flow rate shows that several static states can exist with various numbers of water-mode feedwater module pipes. It is shown that the most probable state can exist by basic physical reasoning, that there is no flow rate through the steam-mode feedwater module pipes. Second, a dynamic model for the fluctuating instability due to steam generation retardation in the steam generator and the dynamic interaction of two compressible volumes, that is, the steam volume of the main steam pipe lines and the gas volume of the compensating tank is formulated and the D-decomposition method is applied after linearization of the governing equations. The results show that the PRHRS becomes stabilized with a smaller volume compensating tank, a larger volume steam space and higher hydraulic resistance of the path $a_{ct}$. Increasing the operating steam pressure has a stabilizing effect. The analytical model and the results obtained from this study will be utilized for PRHRS performance improvement.

he Reactor Coolant Gas Vent System(RCGVS) design for Ulchin Nuclear Power Plant Units 3&4(UCN 3&4) has been improved from the Yonggwang Nuclear Power Plant Units 3&4(YGN 3&4) based on the evaluation results for depressurization capability tests performed at YGN 3&4. There has been a series of plant safety analyses for Natural Circulation Cooldown(NCC) event and thermo-dynamic analyses with RELAP5 code for the steam blowdown Phenomena in order to optimize the orifice size of UCN 3&4 RCGVS. Baesd on these analyses results, the RCGVS orifice size for UCN 3&4 has been reduced to 9/32 inch from the l1/32 inch for YGN 3&4. The depressurization capability tests, which were performed at UCN 3 in order to verify the FSAR NCC analysis results, show that the RCGVS depressurization rates are being within the acceptable ranges. Therefore, it is concluded that the orificed flow path of UCN 3&4 RCGVS is adequately designed, and can provide the safety-grade depressurization capability required for a safe plant operation.

A three dimensional numerical analysis has been conducted for a stoker type incinerator which has the capacity of 1.5 ton/hr. The objective of the present study is to predict the effects of swirl induced by secondary air and to find an optimal operating condition of the incinerator. In this study, combustion characteristics such as distributions of temperature, velocity and concentration of each species have been examined with various injection types of secondary air and with different flow rates of secondary air in the incinerator. It is found that the secondary air injection on the combustion process makes the path of fluid particle longer in the combustor and enhances the mixing between air and combustion gas by arousing a swirl. Therefore, the injection type of secondary air can be an important key in the design process of incinerator.

Rifling force has a torsion impulse effect on the gun tube and thus generates undesirable vibration of the gun tube about its bore axis, putting additional stress on the projectile. High rifling force at the muzzle of the gun tube may adversely influence the trajectory of the projectile. And, the service life of rifled gun barrels is known to depend on the rifling force. Rifling force along the path of the projectile in the longitudinal direction of the gun tube can be described with projectile mass, projectile velocity, gas pressure curve and rifling angle. Under the same conditions, the character of the rifling of the gun barrel decisively influences the rifling force curve. To reduce the above mentioned harmful effect, locally distinct maximum of rifling force has to be avoided and maximum rifling force needs to be minimized. The best way to minimize the maximum rifling force is to design a rifling angle function so that the rifling force curve has a near trapezoidal shape. In this paper a new approach to make the optimal rifling force curve is described. The rifling angle determining the rifling force is developed by combined Fourier series and polynomial function to satisfy both the convergence and boundary condition matching problems.

As distributed generation (DG) is connected to grid, there is new node-type occurring in distribution network. An efficient algorithm is proposed in this paper to calculate power flow for weakly meshed distribution network with DGs in different load models. The algorithm respectively establishes mathematical models focusing on the wind power, photovoltaic cell, fuel cell, and gas turbine, wherein the different DGs are respectively equivalent to PQ, PI, PQ (V) and PV node-type. When dealing with PV node, the algorithm adopts reactive power compensation device to correct power, and the reactive power allocation principle is proposed to determine reactive power initial value to improve convergence of the algorithm. In addition, when dealing with the weakly meshed network, the proposed algorithm, which builds path matrix based on loop-analysis and establishes incident matrix of node voltage and injection current, possesses good convergence and strong ability to process the loops. The simulation results in IEEE33 and PG&G69 node distribution networks show that with increase of the number of loops, the algorithm's iteration times will decrease, and its convergence performance is stronger. Clearly, it can be effectively used to solve the problem of power flow calculation for weakly meshed distribution network containing different DGs.
