Recently micro shock tube is extensively being used in many diverse fields of engineering applications but the detailed flow physics involved in it is hardly known due to high Knudsen number and strong compressibility effects. Unlike the macro shock tube, the surface area to volume ratio for a micro shock tube is very large. This unique effect brings many complexities into the flow physics that makes the micro shock tube different compared with the macro shock tube. In micro shock tube, the inter- molecular forces of working gas can play an important role in specifying the flow characteristics of the unsteady shock wave flow which is essentially generated in all kinds of shock tubes. In the present study, a CFD method was used to predict and visualize the unsteady shock wave flows using the unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations, furnished with the no-slip and slip wall boundary conditions. Maxwell's slip equations were used to mathematically model the shock movement at high Knudsen number. The present CFD results show that the propagation speed of the shock wave is directly proportional to the initial pressure and diameter of micro shock tube.

A vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) with permanent magnet actuator (PMA) has been studied in this study. Electromagnetic field analysis and dynamic simulations have been carried out for optimal design of VCB by using commercial software Maxwell and ADAMS. This simulation model can be an effective method for the VCB, which has non-linear output force of PMA, friction, and impact for operations. An experiment has been conducted to evaluate correctness of the simulated model. By using this evaluated model, the displacement and velocity characteristics of the VCB have been simulated with following conditions : (1) The different output forces of PMA have been applied, (2) The friction conditions in follow lever shaft and moving part have been changed, (3) The mass conditions of moving part have been changed. The simulated results shows that the velocity characteristics are mainly determined by the output force of PMA. The effects due to the changes of friction conditions against the dynamic characteristics was small, and the mass conditions of the moving parts affect the velocity and a bouncing phenomenon of VCB. From these results, the optimal design conditions for the VCB have been derived.

Cogging Torque is induced by the magnetic attraction between the rotor mounted permanent magnet(PM) and the stator teeth. This torque is an unwanted effect causing shaft vibration, noises, metal fatigues and increased stator length. A variety of techniques exist to reduce the cogging torque of PM generator. Even though the cogging torque can be vanished by skewing the stator slots by one slot pitch or rotor magnets, manufacturing cost becomes high due to the complicated structure and increased material costs. This paper introduces a new cogging torque reduction technique for PM generators that adjusts the azimuthal positions of the magnets along the circumference. A 900 kW class PMSG model is simulated using a three dimensional finite element method and the resulting cogging torques is analyzed using the Maxwell tensor stress tensor. Using the 3D simulation, the end contribution of the cogging torque is accurately calculated.

Recently, a project to build a carbon zero island with no carbon emissions has been carried out by replacing diesel generators with renewable energy sources in island areas where diesel generators supplied local loads as independent systems. To minimize damage to the lives of islanders, low noise wind generators should be installed by adjusting the rated speed. In islands with low loads, wind turbines that are more efficient than medium-sized wind turbines should be installed. In this study, the generator field analysis and characteristics were analyzed to develop 230 kW-class low wind medium-wind turbine technology. The electromagnetic field analysis program used Maxwell. As a result, the cogging torque was reduced, and the initial maneuver wind speed and loss value were lowered. Hence, the output amount was increased with high efficiency.

자성나노유체(ferrofluid)는 계면활성제로 코팅된 직경 10 nm인 자성나노입자(magnetic nanoparticle)가 바탕액체(물 또는 오일 등)에 분산하고 있는 액체이다. 최근 연구에 의하면 자성나노 유체가 변압기 절연유로 사용될 경우 열전달 및 절연 특성이 향상된다고 보고되고 있다. 또한 자성나노유체에 포함된 자성나노입자는 영구자석 및 전자석 등에 의한 외부 자기장뿐만 아니라, 두 전극 사이에 인가된 전기장에 의한 유도자기장에 영향을 받는다고 한다. 본 연구에서는 두 전극 사이 전압을 1 kV로 인가한 경우에서 광학현미경을 이용한 자성나노입자의 마이크로 채널(microchannel) 내부 이동특성 관측 및 Maxwell 방정식을 이용한 전자기장 수치해석을 수행하였다. 실험 및 해석 결과를 통하여 자성나노유체에 포함된 자성나노입자가 인가된 전기장에 의하여 발생되는 이동특성을 분석하고, 선행연구에서 보고된 절연특성 변화에 관한 상관관계에 대해 고찰하였다. 광학현미경 관측 결과로부터 전기장이 인가되지 않은 경우에 균일하게 분산되어 있는 자성나노입자는 전기장 인가에 따라 발생되는 유도자기장에 의하여 입자 간의 뭉침(agglomeration) 현상과 전극 주위로 이동하려는 성질을 확인하였다. 또한 수치해석 결과로부터 자성나노입자의 존재로 인하여 전극 사이의 전기장 강도와 자속밀도가 증가함을 확인하였으며, 자성나노입자의 이동을 유발하는 유도자기장이 전극 주위에서 큰 것을 파악할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 자성나노입자가 변압기 절연유에 첨가된 경우우 절연파괴전압이 변화되는 이유를 설명할 수 있는 근거가 된다.

We extend a p-hierarchical decomposition of the second degree finite element space of N$\acute{e}$d$\acute{e}$lec for tetrahedral meshes in three dimensions given in [1] to meshes with hexahedral elements, and derive p-hierarchical decompositions of the second degree finite element space of Raviart-Thomas in two dimensions for triangular and quadrilateral meshes. After having proved stability of these subspace decompositions and requiring certain saturation assumptions to hold, we construct a local a posteriori error estimator for fem and bem coupling of a time-harmonic electromagnetic eddy current problem in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We perform some numerical tests to underline reliability and efficiency of the estimator and test its usefulness in an adaptive refinement scheme.

In this paper, to improve the mechanical response of the Moving Magnet Type LDM, the design of the LDM was optimized to achieve a large force to volume ratio without reduction the force. The model of the LDM and its optimization procedure were developed on the initial assumption that the magnetic circuit is linear. To analyze the magnetic flux distribution throughout the volume of the LDM and the slider back iron, a 2D finite element analysis of the LDM was performed.

Soy protein was isolated from Korean soy bean 'Chang ryub' and chemically modified with succinic anhydride. Functionality of the soy protein isolate(SPI), succinylated SPI(SPPI), and PP590(commercial) at various pH were investigated. The mechanical and sensory properties of soy bean curds made from several mixing ratio of succinylated soy bean milk were observed. The solubility of SPI significantly increased with succinylation. The solubility of PP590 was lower than that of SSPI. The solubility of SPPI increased significantly in 0.03M CaCl2 solution. The emulsifying activity of SSPI increased. On the range of pH above pI the emulsifying activity of PP590 was higher than that of SPI. There was no difference in emulsion stability among the groups. The foam expansion capacity of SPPI increased at higher pH than pI but the foam stability decreased significantly above pH 9. Mechanical texture profile analysis revealed the modified soy bean curds had the lower hardniss, chewiness and cohesiveness with increased modification. The mechanical characteristics of modified soy bean curds revealed generalized Maxwell Model of 7-elements or 5-elements. In sensory evaluation, the hardness, the springiness and acceptability of modified soy bean curds were lower significantly than those of control soy bean curd.

We fabricated the crosslinked films using p-hexadecoxyphenol (p-HP), which is amphiphilic and can form polyion complexes with formaldehyde at the air-water interface. The behavior of polyion complexation at the air-water interface and the surface structure of LB films was investigated by Brewster angle microscope(BAM) and scanning Maxwell-stress microscope (SMM), respectively. Also, the electrical properties for crosslinking in phenol-formaldehyde LB films were investigated by measuring conductivity and dielectric constant. The conductivities of p-HP LB films are as follows: heat-treatment of 1% formaldehyde subphase(3.76$\times$10$^{-15}$ ~4.76$\times$10$^{-1}$5[S/cm])$\times$10$^{-14}$ ~1.74$\times$10$^{-14}$ [S/cm]). Also, relative dielectric constants of p-HP LB films were reduced from 6.76~7.84 (pure water) to 2.97~3.25 (heat-treatment of 1% formaldehyde subphase))
