Ageing behavior of the Al-Mg-Si alloy was modeled for the use of optimization of Al forging product. Typical precipitates of Al-Mg-Si alloy are a wide variety of metastable phases (e.g. GP zones, $\beta',\beta'$). These rod shaped particles take a role to hinder the dislocation movement. The precipitation sequence in Al-Mg-Si alloys is quite complex and the strength of precipitate particles differs with the ageing condition. In the present study, the ageing behavior of Al-Mg-Si alloy was investigated by using an industrial grade Al 6061 alloy forged product, which was a perform for an Al impeller for turbo charger. The precipitate hardening models by Esmaeili's approach were used for the analysis of ageing behavior.

As an important device in the nuclear island, the nuclear coolant pump can continuously provide power for medium circulation. The vane is one of the stationary parts in the nuclear coolant pump, which is installed between the impeller and the casing. The shape of the vane plays a significant role in the pump's overall performance and stability which are the important indicators during the safety serve process. Hence, the bionic concept is firstly applied into the design process of the vane to improve the performance of the nuclear coolant pump. Taking the scaled high-performance hydraulic model (on a scale of 1:2.5) of the coolant pump as the reference, a united bionic design approach is proposed for the unique structure of the guide vane of the nuclear coolant pump. Then, a new optimization design platform is established to output the optimal bionic vane. Finally, the comparative results and the corresponding mechanism are analyzed. The conclusions can be gotten as: (1) four parameters are introduced to configure the shape of the bionic blade, the significance of each parameter is herein demonstrated; (2) the optimal bionic vane is successfully obtained by the optimization design platform, the efficiency performance and the head performance of which can be improved by 1.6% and 1.27% respectively; (3) when compared to the original vane, the optimized bionic vane can improve the inner flow characteristics, namely, it can reduce the flow loss and decrease the pressure pulsation amplitude; (4) through the mechanism analysis, it can be found out that the bionic structure can induce the spanwise velocity and the vortices, which can reduce drag and suppress the boundary layer separation.

Streptococcus zooepidemicus 유래의 세포외 고분자물질인 히알루론산(hyaluronic acid) (HA)을 대량 생산하기 위해, 균주 개량, 생산배지 및 배양공정 개발에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. HA 고생산성 변이주를 선별하기 위해 약 99%의 사멸률을 보이는 ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) 처리조건을 적용해서, 지속적인 random screening 방법으로 고생산성, 고안정성의 변이주들을 선별할 수 있었다. HA를 고농도로 생산하기 위해서는, 이 균주의 생화학 및 배양생리적 특성에 기반한 최적 배지개발이 필수적이라고 판단하여, one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT), full factorial design (FFD), steepest ascent method (SAM) 및 response surface method (RSM) (반응표면분석법)을 순차적으로 적용하여 통계적 배지 최적화 실험을 수행하였다. 최적 배지조성에서 플라스크 배양에 의한 HA 생산성은 5.38 g/l로서, 이전 배지(3.54 g/l)에 비해 약 52% 향상된 생산량을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 선별된 우량균주와 최적화된 생산배지를 이용하여 5 L 발효조에서 배양공정 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 이 균주의 생리학적 특성을 고려할 때, HA 생산성을 높이기 위해서는 (배양 중 HA 축적으로 인해 고점도를 띠는) 배양액으로의 충분한 용존산소 공급이 매우 중요한 요인인 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 용존산소 공급과 밀접하게 관련있는 발효조의 교반시스템(교반 날개 종류, 크기 및 배치 등) 및 교반속도에 대한 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 교반축 하부에는 Rushton turbine-type, 상부에는 marine-type의 확장된 교반날개(기존 대비 직경 1.3배 확장)가 설치된 경우, 450 rpm에서 강화된 혼합력과 충분한 용존산소 공급으로 인해 HA 생산성이 기존 플라스크 배양 대비 약 1.8배(9.79 vs. 5.38 g/l) 더 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 최종적으로 HA 배양공정의 scale-up 가능성을 확인하기 위해, pilot 규모의 50 L 발효조 배양을 최대 300 rpm의 교반속도에서 수행하였다. 처음으로 시도한 50 L 배양임에도 불구하고, HA 최대 생산성 면에서 볼 때, 5 L 발효조 결과와 거의 동일한 수준(98.5%) (9.11 vs 9.25 g/l)의 생산량을 얻을 수 있었다. 반면 지수기 성장단계인 배양 15시간까지의 50 L 배양의 HA 평균생산속도(r_p)는 0.46 g/l/hr로서 0.62 g/l/hr인 5 L 배양 대비 약 74% 정도에 머무는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 생산 발효조의 scale-up 시, 생산균주의 전단응력 민감성(shear damage)을 함께 고려하면서, 산소전달계수(k_La)를 기반으로 하는 교반시스템에 대한 체계적인 연구가 진행된다면, HA 생산속도도 증가될 수 있는 긍정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Thrust-ring-pump is a kind of extreme-low specific speed centrifugal pump with special structure as numerous restrictions from thrust bearing and operation conditions of hydro-generator units. Because the oil circulatory and cooling system with thrust-ring-pump has a lot of advantages in maintenance and compactness in structure, it has widely been used in large and medium-sized hydro-generator units. Since the diameter and the speed of the thrust ring is limited by the generator set, the matching relationship between the flow passage inside the thrust ring (equivalent to impeller) and oil bath (equivalent to volute) has great influence on hydrodynamic performance of thrust-ring-pump. On another hand, the head and flow rate are varying with the operation conditions of hydro-generator units and the oil circulatory and cooling system. As so far, the empirical calculation method is employed during the actual engineering design, in order to guarantee the operating performance of the oil circulatory and cooling system with thrust-ring-pump at different conditions, a collaborative hydrodynamic design and optimization is purposed in this paper. Firstly, the head and flow rate at different conditions are decided by 1D flow numerical simulation of the oil circulatory and cooling system. Secondly, the flow passages of thrust-ring-pump are empirically designed under the restrictions of diameter and the speed of the thrust ring according to the head and flow rate from the simulation. Thirdly, the flow passage geometry matching optimization between thrust ring and oil bath is implemented by means of 3D flow simulation and performance prediction. Then, the pumps and the oil circulatory and cooling system are collaborative hydrodynamic optimized with predicted head-flow rate curve and the efficiency-flow rate curve of thrust-ring-pump. The presented methodology has been adopted by DFEM in design process of thrust-ring-pump and it shown can effectively improve the performance of whole system.

An annular linear induction electromagnetic pump (ALIP) which has a developed pressure of 0.76 bar and a flow rate of 100 L/min is designed to analysis end effect which is main problem to use ALIP in thermohydraulic system of the prototype generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR). Because there is no moving part which is directly in contact with the liquid, such as the impeller of a mechanical pump, an ALIP is one of the best options for transporting sodium, considering the high temperature and reactivity of liquid sodium. For the analysis of an ALIP, some of the most important characteristics are the electromagnetic properties such as the magnetic field, current density, and the Lorentz force. These electromagnetic properties not only affect the performance of an ALIP, but they additionally influence the end effect. The end effect is caused by distortion to the electromagnetic field at both ends of an ALIP, influencing both the flow stability and developed pressure. The electromagnetic field distribution in an ALIP is analyzed in this study by solving Maxwell's equations and using numerical analysis.

Design parameters for suction channels of process centrifugal compressors were investigated, and an optimization method to enhance stage efficiency by using the new design parameters was proposed. From results of computational fluid dynamics, the passage sectional area ratios $A_c/A_e$, $A_e/A_s$ and $A_c/A_s$ were found to be the dominant parameters for the pressure loss and circumferential flow distortion, where $A_c$, $A_e$ and $A_s$ are passage sectional areas for the casing upstream side, casing entrance and impeller eye, respectively. The Base suction channel was optimized using the new design parameters, and the Base and Optimized types were tested. Test results showed that the Optimized suction channel achieved 3.8% higher stage efficiency than the Base suction channel while maintaining the same operating range.
