Hazardous area classification design is required to reduce the explosion risk in process plants. Among the international design guidelines, only IEC 60079-10-1 proposes a new type of zone, namely zone 2 NE, to prevent explosion hazards. We studied how to meet the zone 2 NE grade for a facility handling hydrogen gas, which is considered as most dangerous among explosive gases. Zone 2 NE can be achieved considering the grade of release, as well as the availability and effectiveness of ventilation, which are factors indicative of the facility condition and its surroundings. In the present study, we demonstrate that zone 2 NE can be achieved when the degree of ventilation is high by accessing temperature, pressure, and size of leak hole. The release characteristic can be derived by substituting the process condition of the hydrogen gas facility. The equations are summarized considering relation of the operating temperature, operating pressure, and size of leak hole. Through this relationship, the non-hazardous condition can be realized from the perspective of inherent safety by the combination of each parameter before the initial design of the hydrogen gas facility.

In this paper, the rotor losses in high-speed permanent synchronous motor (PMSM) considering the operating condition are discussed. In order to maintain the mechanical integrity of a high-speed permanent magnet machine rotor intended for high-speed operation, the rotor assembly is often retained within a stainless steel or Carbon-Fiber/Epoxy sleeve. The sleeve is exposed to fields produced by the stator from either the slotting or the mmf harmonics that are not synchronous with rotor losses. On the basis of analytical field analysis, the rotor losses are analyzed. In particular, the no-load, rated with air-cooled, and forced water cooled conditions are considered. The results are validated extensively by comparison with non-linear finite element method (FEM).

To improve the shock resistance of the microdrive under non-operating conditions, an isolator was attached to the contacting part of the microdrive. Through FE analysis, design parameters for satisfying the allowable acceleration level of the spindle motor bearing part were presented, which is a most possible critical part of the microdrive.

In this study, the effect of operating conditions of fan-coil unit with an oval tube type heat exchanger on its non-dimensional performance coefficient has been investigated. Pressure drops and heat transfer rates were measured under heating condition for various water flow rates, inlet temperatures and wind speeds. As a non-dimensional performance coefficient, Colburn j-factor was evaluated. The results show that the most sensitive parameter on heat flux is the inlet temperature, which affects the heat flux 4.7 and 7.2 times more than the wind speed and water flow rate, respectively. On the other hand, the Colburn j-factor as a non-dimensionalized index decreases with the wind speed, and has an maximum when the wind speed is about 1 m/s. the Colburn j-factor increases slowly with the water flow rate and inlet temperature but at a certain range of inlet temperature, the opposite phenomenon is found.

Selective catalytic reduction and selective non-catalytic reduction processes are mainly used to treat nitrogen oxidants generated from fossil-fuel combustion. Especially, the selective non-catalytic reduction process can be operated more economical and designed more simply than the selective catalytic reduction. For this reason, many researchers carried out to increase the removal efficiency of nitrogen oxidants in the condition of low oxygen concentration by using the selective non-catalytic reduction process. However, this study was flue gas contained high oxygen concentration of 20(v/v%) with ammonia as a reducing agent. Moreover, it carried out experiment with many factors that are reaction temperature, retention time, initial NO concentration, NSR(normalized stoichiometric ratio). It was determined optimal operating conditions to improve NO removal efficiency with SNCR process. The De-NOx efficiency was increased with NSR, initial NO concentration and retention time increasement. This study has NO removal efficiency over 80% in the high oxygen concentration as well as low oxygen concentration. The injection of reducing agent may be considered for SNCR process and facility operation in 850$\^{C}$ of optimal condition.

본 연구는 법인택시와 개인택시의 1개월간의 타코미터 자료를 이용하여 운행실태를 비교 분석한 것이다. 연구결과, 법인택시는 차량 당 주행거리나 영업거리는 길지만, 개인택시의 실차율이 3.5% 정도 높은 것으로 나타나 영업의 효율성이 보다 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 두 집단 간에는 빈차거리를 제외한 주행거리, 영업거리, 운송수입금에 대해 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개인택시의 경우 법인택시와 달리 운송수입금과 빈차거리는 약한 상관관계를 나타냈는데, 이는 법인택시와 달리 콜택시조합에 가입되어 있는 개인택시의 대기식 영업방식이 빈차거리를 감소시킨 것이 원인으로 판단된다.

최근 IT 기술의 비약적인 발전으로 위성 및 지상파 DMB 서비스가 본격적으로 시작되면서 운전 중 DMB를 시청하거나 문자나 동영상으로 제공되는 교통정보를 시청하기 위해 차량 내 DMB를 설치하는 사례가 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 운전중 DMB 시청은 운전중 음식섭취, 라디오 조작, 휴대폰 사용 등과 유사하게 운전자의 시지 각 및 인지적 주의를 분산시켜 안전운전에 방해를 초래할 것이다. 하지만 이와 관련한 국내외의 실증적인 연구가 부족할 뿐만 아니라 운전행동에 있어서 구체적으로 어떻게 영향을 주는지도 밝혀지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 운전자들을 대상으로 운전 중 DMB 시청이 운전행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 차량시뮬레이터를 이용한 실험연구를 실시하였다. 실험설계는 피험자내 실험설계를 하였으며 실험참여자들은 두 조건(즉, 운전 중 DMB를 시청하지 않는 조건과 DMB를 시청하는 조건) 모두에서 주행실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 운전 중 DMB를 시청하는 조건이 시청하지 않는 조건에 비해서 목적지에 도달하는 소요시간이 더 걸렸으며 가속 및 감속 페달을 급하게 조작하였을 뿐만 아니라 조향휠 편차가 크게 나타나 주행안전성을 떨어뜨리는 것으로 나타났다. 부가적으로, DMB 조작 조건(즉, 키패드 조건, 터치패드 조건, 리모컨 조건)에 따른 운전행동 차이도 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점 및 함의에 대하여 논의하였다.

The aim of this paper is to understand the time averaged pressure distributions in a high-speed centrifugal compressor channel diffuser at design and off-design flow rates. Pressure distributions from the impeller exit to the channel diffuser exit are measured and discussed far various flow rates from choke to near surge condition, and the effect of operating condition is discussed. The strong non-uniformity in the pressure distribution is obtained over the vaneless space and semi-vaneless space caused by the impeller-diffuser interaction. As the flow rate increases, flow separation near the throat, due to large incidence angle at the vane leading edge, increases aerodynamic blockage and reduces the aerodynamic flow area downstream. Thus the minimum pressure location occurs downstream of the geometric throat, and it is named as the aerodynamic throat. And at choke condition, normal shock occurs downstream of this aerodynamic throat. The variation in the location of the aerodynamic throat is discussed.

Reactive distillation (RD) is a combination process where both separation and reaction are considered simultaneously in a single vessel. This kind of combination to enhance the overall performance is not a new attempt in the chemical engineering areas. The recovery of ammonia in the classic Solvay process for soda ash of the 1860s may be cited as probably the first commercial application of RD. The RD system has been used for a long time as a useful process and recently the importance of the RD is enlarged more and more. In addition to that, the application fields of RD are diversely diverged. To make the most of the characteristic of RD system, we must decide the best operating condition under which the process shows the most effective productivity and should decide the best control algorithm which satisfies an optimal operating condition. Phosgene which is a highly reactive chemical is used for the production of isocyanates and polycarbonates. Because it has high reactivity and toxicity, its utilization is increasingly burdened by growing safety measures to be adopted during its production. Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) was proposed as a substitute of phosgene because it is non-toxic and environmentally benign chemical. In this study, RD is used for DMC production process and the transesterification is performed inside of column to produce DMC. In transesterification, the methanol and ethylene carbonate (EC) are used as the reactants. This process use homogeneous catalyst and the azeotrope exists between the reactant and product. Owing to azeotrope, we should use two distillation columns. For this DMC production process, we can suggest two configurations. One is EC excess process and the other is methanol excess process. From the comparison of steady state simulation results where the Naphtali-Sandholm algorithm is used, it showed the better performance to use the methanol excess process configuration than EC excess process. Then, the dynamic simulation was performed to be based on the steady state simulation results and the optimal control system was designed. In addition to that, the optimal operating condition was suggested from previous results.
