In this paper, non-self-aligned SiGe HBTs with ${f}_\tau$ and${f}_max $above 50 GHz have been fabricated using an RPCVD(Reduced Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) system for wireless applications. In the proposed structure, in-situ boron doped selective epitaxial growth(BDSEG) and TiSi$_2$ were used for the base electrode to reduce base resistance and in-situ phosphorus doped polysilicon was used for the emitter electrode to reduce emitter resistance. SiGe base profiles and collector design methodology to increase ${f}_\tau$ and${f}_max $ are discussed in detail. Two SiGe HBTs with the collector-emitter breakdown voltages ${BV}_CEO$ of 3 V and 6 V were fabricated using SIC(selective ion-implanted collector) implantation. Fabricated SiGe HBTs have a current gain of 265 ∼ 285 and Early voltage of 102 ∼ 120 V, respectively. For the $1\times{8}_\mu{m}^2$ emitter, a SiGe HBT with ${BV}_CEO$= 6 V shows a cut-off frequency, ${f}_\tau$of 24.3 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency, ${f}_max $of 47.6 GHz at $I_c$of 3.7 mA and$V_CE$ of 4 V. A SiGe HBT with ${BV}_CEO$ = 3 V shows ${f}_\tau$of 50.8 GHz and ${f}_max $ of 52.2 GHz at $I_c$ of 14.7 mA and $V_CE$ of 2 V.

The vessel of integral reactor contains its major primary components such as the fuel and core, pumps, steam generators, and a pressurizer, so its size is proportional to the required space for the installation of each component. The steam generators take up the largest volume of internal space of reactor vessel and their volumes is substantial for the overall size of reactor vessel. Reduction of installation space for steam generators can lead to much smaller reactor vessel with resultant decrease of overall cost for the components and related facilities. A printed circuit heat exchanger is one of the compact types of heat exchangers available as an alternative to conventional shell and tube heat exchangers. Its name is derived from the procedure used to manufacture the flat metal plates that form the core of the heat exchanger, which is done by chemical milling. These plates are then stacked and diffusion bonded, converting the plates into a solid metal block containing precisely engineered fluid flow passages. The overall heat transfer area and pressure drops are evaluated for the steam generator based on the concept of the printed circuit heat exchanger in this study. As the printed circuit heat exchanger is known to have much larger heat transfer area density per unit volume, we can expect significantly reduced steam generator compared to former shell and tube type of steam generator. For the introduction of new steam generator, two design requirements are considered: flow area ratio between primary and secondary flow paths, and secondary side parallel channel flow oscillation. The results show that the overall volume of the steam generator can be significantly reduced with printed circuit type of steam generator.

The lattice Boltzman method (LBM) and the finite difference-based lattice Boltzmann method (FDLBM) are quite recent approaches for simulating fluid flow, which have been proven as valid and efficient tools in a variety of complex flow problems. They are considered attractive alternatives to conventional finite-difference schemes because they recover the Navier-Stokes equations and are computationally more stable, and easily parallelizable. However, most models of the LBM or FDLBM are for incompressible fluids because of the simplicity of the structure of the model. Although some models for compressible thermal fluids have been introduced, these models are for monatomic gases, and suffer from the instability in calculations. A lattice BGK model based on a finite difference scheme with an internal degree of freedom is employed and it is shown that a diatomic gas such as air is successfully simulated. In this research we present a 2-dimensional edge tone to predict the frequency characteristics of discrete oscillations of a jet-edge feedback cycle by the FDLBM in which any specific heat ratio $\gamma$ can be chosen freely. The jet is chosen long enough in order to guarantee the parabolic velocity profile of a jet at the outlet, and the edge is of an angle of $\alpha$=23$^{o}$. At a stand-off distance w, the edge is inserted along the centerline of the jet, and a sinuous instability wave with real frequency is assumed to be created in the vicinity of the nozzle exit and to propagate towards the downstream. We have succeeded in capturing very small pressure fluctuations resulting from periodic oscillation of the jet around the edge.

Flow-excited acoustic resonance in ducted cavities can produce high levels of acoustic pressure that may lead to severe damage. This occurs when the flow instability over the cavity mouth, which is created by the free shear layer separation at the upstream edge, is coupled with one of the acoustic modes in the accommodating enclosure. Acoustic resonance can cause high amplitude fluctuating acoustic loads in and near the cavity. Such acoustic loads could cause damage in sensitive applications such as aircraft weapon bays. Therefore, the suppression and mitigation of these resonances are very important. Much of the work done in the past focused on the fluid-dynamic oscillation mechanism or suppressing the resonance by altering the edge condition at the shear layer separation. However, the effect of the downstream edge has received much less attention. This paper considers the effect of the impingement edge geometry on the acoustic resonance excitation and Strouhal number values of the flow instabilities in a ducted shallow cavity with an aspect ratio of 1.0. Several edges, including chamfered edges with different angles and round edges with different radii, were investigated. In addition, some downstream edges that have never been studied before, such as saw-tooth edges, spanwise cylinders, higher and lower steps, and straight and delta spoilers, are investigated. The experiments are conducted in an open-loop wind tunnel that can generate flows with a Mach number up to 0.45. The study shows that when some edge geometries, such as lower steps, chamfered, round, and saw-tooth edges, are installed downstream, they demonstrate a promising reduction in the acoustic resonance. On the other hand, higher steps and straight spoilers resulted in intensifying the acoustic resonance. In addition, the effect of edge geometry on the Strouhal number is presented.

We investigate a surface-micromachined polysilicon microgyroscope, whose resonant frequencies are electrostatically-tunable after fabrication. The microgyroscope with two oscillation nudes has been designed so that the resonant frequency in the sensing mode is higher than that in the actuating mode. The microgyroscope has been fabricated by a 4-mask surface-micrormachining process, including the deep RIE of a $6{\mu}m$-thick LPCVD polycrystalline silicon layer. The resonant frequency in the sensing mode has been lowered to that in actuating mode through the adjustment of an inter-plate bias voltage; thereby achieving a frequency matching at 5.8kHz under the bias voltage of 2V in a reduced pressure of 0.1torr. For an input angular rate of $50^{\circ}/sec$, an output signal of 20mV has been measured from the tuned microgyroscope under an AC drive voltage of 2V with a DC bias voltage of 3V.

An experimental study was carried out to delineate the flow characteristics in a closed countescurrent two-phase thermo syphon with concentric tubes. This is to be installed in the HANARO research reactor as a part of a Cold Neutron Source(CNS). In the present investigation, experiments ata room temperature with Freon-II3 as a moderator were performed. Results show that, based on the magnitude of pressure fluctuation, the flow regimes could be divided into 4 distinct ones in the ($V_f,\;Q_i$) plane, where $V_f$ represents the volume of the charged liquid and $Q_i$ the heat load: a stable flow regime, an oscillatory flow regime, a restablized flow regime and a dryout flow regime. For $V_f$>2.5l, the flow is stable at low $Q_i$. However, as $Q_i$ increases, the flow becomes oscillatory and finally restablizes As $V_f$ increases, the oscillation amplitude decreases, reaching to the restablized flow region at low $Q_i$, and the liquid level in the moderator cell remains high. In the oscillatory flow regimes, for a fixed VI; the oscillating period of time varies with $Q_i$, having a minimum value at a certain value of $Q_i$. The heat load, where the oscillating period of time is minimum, decreases as $V_f$ increases.

Modeling water flow in variably saturated, porous media is important in many branches of science and engineering. Highly nonlinear relationships between water content and hydraulic conductivity and soil-water pressure result in very steep wetting fronts causing numerical problems. These include poor efficiency when modeling water infiltration into very dry porous media, and numerical oscillation near a steep wetting front. A one-dimensional finite element formulation is developed for the numerical simulation of variably saturated flow systems. First order backward Euler implicit and second order Crank-Nicolson time discretization schemes are adopted as a solution strategy in this formulation based on Picard and Newton iterative techniques. Five examples are used to investigate the numerical performance of two approaches and the different factors are highlighted that can affect their convergence and efficiency. The first test case deals with sharp moisture front that infiltrates into the soil column. It shows the capability of providing a mass-conservative behavior. Saturated conditions are not developed in the second test case. Involving of dry initial condition and steep wetting front are the main numerical complexity of the third test example. Fourth test case is a rapid infiltration of water from the surface, followed by a period of redistribution of the water due to the dynamic boundary condition. The last one-dimensional test case involves flow into a layered soil with variable initial conditions. The numerical results indicate that the Crank-Nicolson scheme is inefficient compared to fully implicit backward Euler scheme for the layered soil problem but offers same accuracy for the other homogeneous soil cases.

KSR-III 개발과정에서 배플을 장착하여 연소 불안정 현상을 해결한 바 있으나, 추력 및 냉각과 관련된 축방향 길이에 대한 최적화 과정을 거치지는 않았다. 이에 수동제어기구로서 사용되는 배플의 축방향 길이의 최적화 및 한계를 평가하기 위하여, 축방향 길이를 작동인자로 하여 연소 안정성 여분을 평가하였다. 외부 교란 발생 장치로서 2번의 기폭이 가능한 펄스건을 사용하였다. 외부 교란에 대한 연소실에서의 응답 특성을, 감쇠 시간과 진폭비와 같은 인자를 도입하여 정량화하였다. 설계점과 탈설계점에서 시험을 수행하였으며, 분사기의 충돌점으로 생각할 수 있는 화염 영역을 감싸지 못하는 경우에는 배플의 충분한 감쇠 능력을 보장할 수 없음을 확인하였다. 따라서 연소 안정성의 여분의 경계는 KSR-III에서의 작동조건 하에서 50 mm 정도의 배플인 것으로 판단되었다.

연소 안정화를 위해 로켓엔진 연소기에 장착될 수 있는 반파장 음향 공명기의 비선형 음향 감쇠 특성을 비선형 해석을 통해 조사하였다. 먼저, 공명기가 장착되지 않은 기본 연소실에 대해 넓은 범위의 진폭($80{\sim}150$ dB)을 갖는 음향 가진에 대한 연소실의 감쇠 거동을 조사한 결과, 진폭에 따라 연소실의 감쇠인자가 증가하며 125 dB 이상의 진폭에 대해서는 비선형 거동이 뚜렷이 나타남을 알았다. 반파장 공명기가 장착된 연소기에서의 계산 결과, 해당 공명기의 최적 동조조건은 진폭에 무관하였고, 높은 진폭의 압력파를 감쇠하는 기능은 유지되지만, 상대적으로 음향 공명기로서의 역할은 약화됨을 알 수 있었다.

Solar activity is known to be linked to changes in the Earth's weather and climate. Nonetheless, for other types of extreme weather, such as tropical cyclones (TCs), the available evidence is less conclusive. In this study the modulation of TC genesis over the western North Pacific by the solar activity is investigated, in comparison with a large-scale environmental parameter, i.e., El-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). For this purpose, we have obtained the best track data for TCs in the western North Pacific from 1977 to 2016, spanning from the solar cycle 21 to the solar cycle 24. We have confirmed that in the El-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods TCs tend to form in the southeast, reach its maximum strength in the southeast, and end its life as TSs in the northeast, compared with the La-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods. TCs occurring in the El-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods are found to last longer compared with the La-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods. Furthermore, TCs occurring in the El-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods have a lower central pressure at their maximum strength than those occurring in the La-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods. We have found that TCs occurring in the solar maximum periods resemble those in the El-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods in their properties. We have also found that TCs occurring in the solar descending periods somehow resemble those in the El-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods in their properties. To make sure that it is not due to the ENSO effect, we have excluded TCs both in the El-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods and in the La-$Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods from the data set and repeated the analysis. In addition to this test, we have also reiterated our analysis twice with TCs whose maximum sustained winds speed exceeds 17 m/s, instead of 33 m/s, as well as TCs designated as a typhoon, which ends up with the same conclusions.
