Air bearings are widely used in precision stages because of low friction and high motion accuracy, however, they suffer from low stiffness in comparison with rolling bearings or hydrostatic bearings. So, several preloading methods using weight, magnet and vacuum force, and opposing pads have been used to increase the stiffness of the air bearings. In this paper, pressure distributions of the vacuum preloaded porous air bearings are calculated using the proposed method. And then, the load capacity and stiffness are analyzed. For the vacuum preloaded air bearings, the stiffness is increased owing to reduced bearing clearance by vacuum force. The simulation results indicate that variation of vacuum pressure with clearance in the vacuum pocket gives rise to low stiffness, so the vacuum pocket should be designed for pressure to be constantly maintained regardless of the bearing clearance by means of large effective pumping speed.

터보분자펌프(turbomolecular pump, TMP)는 각종 연구장비, 반도체 제조장치, 가속기, 핵융합 실험 장치 등 여러 분야에서 가장 널리 쓰이는 고진공 펌프로서 자리잡고 있다. 이런 TMP의 광범위한 사용에도 불구하고 성능평가에 관한 통일된 규격이 마련되어 있지 않다. 국제 규격협회(ISO)의 터보분자펌프 성능평가방법 시안을 토대로 제정중인 KS 규격은 아직 실험적인 근거를 자체적으로 가지고 있지 못하므로 앞으로 각 항목들에 대한 많은 실험이 수행되어야 한다. TMP의 성능을 나타내 주는 항목들 중 배기속도(pumping speed)와 압축비(compression ratio)는 가장 중요한 것들로서 다른 고진공 펌프 및 TMP 상호간의 성능을 비교할 수 있는 기본 항목이라 할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 종래의 단순 TMP와 큰 기체유량에서도 안정된 배기속도를 유지하는 복합터보분자펌프(compound molecular pump, CMP)의 배기속도와 압축비 및 임계배압(critical backing pressure)을 KS 규격안대로 시험 평가하여 안의 평가방법과 기준의 타당성을 검토하고, 두 가지 다른 방식의 펌프에 적용할 수 있는지를 검토하였다. TMP 및 CMP 흡기구에 표준용기를 부착하고 수소 및 질소 기체를 사용하여 흡기구 압력을 변화시키면서 배기속도 및 압축비를 측정하고 배기구 압력을 변호시키면서 최대압축비 및 임계배압을 측정하였다. 흡기구의 압력측정에는 인출형 전리진공계(EG)를 사용하였고, 배기구의 압력측정은 전기용량의 격막진공계(CDG)와 피라니 진공계로 측정하였다. 진공계는 모두 회전식 점성진공계(SRG)로 교정한 후 사용하였다.

Compression pressure of individual cylinder and valve timing have big influence on combustion pressure, indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), emission, vibration, combustion noise and many other combustion parameters. Conventional method, however, to check compression pressure uniformity is done by mechanical pressure gage and valve timing is checked manually. This conventional method causes inaccuracy of cylinder pressure measurement because of different cranking speed results from battery status and temperature. Also to check valve timing, related FEAD parts should be disassembled and timing mark should be checked. This study describes and suggests new methodology to measure compression pressure by analysis of start motor current and to check valve timing by cylinder pressure with high accuracy. Results, it is found that detection of bulky as well as small leaky cylinder is possible by cranking motor current analysis and wrong valve timing can be detected by cylinder pressure analysis and cam and crank sensor signal.

Urban subways are one of the main parts of urban transportation networks in every city that always requires much attention in order to improve its efficiency in aspects of safety, reliability speed and costs. As the viewpoint of costs, an accurate design, especially design of vertical alignment, can have a dominant role to reduce the costs of urban railway projects. This paper seeks to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of designing chain vertical alignment for urban subways in compare to flat vertical alignment. To achieve this goal, line A of Qom subway in Iran was selected as a case study in this research. Five parameters considered in the technical-economical evaluation: (1) energy consumption, (2) rolling stock, (3) operation, (4) civil works and geotechnical and (5) hydrological, drainage and pumping. According to the results, a power saving of about 40% have been estimated in the chain vertical alignment for the train without regenerative braking in compare with the flat vertical alignment, although the power saving was calculated less than 10% for the train with regenerative braking. Finally it was found that due to the modern rolling stock technology, the chain vertical alignment represents fewer advantages in compare to the past years.

In recent years, the market has shown increasing interest in pump-turbines. The prompt availability of pumped storage plants and the benefits to the power system achieved by peak lopping, providing reserve capacity, and rapid response in frequency control are providing a growing advantage. In this context, there is a need to develop pumpturbines that can reliably withstand dynamic operation modes, fast changes of discharge rate by adjusting the variable diffuser vanes, as well as fast changes from pumping to turbine operation. In the first part of the present study, various flow patterns linked to operation of a pump-turbine system are discussed. In this context, pump and turbine modes are presented separately and different load cases are shown in each operating mode. In order to create modern, competitive pump-turbine designs, this study further explains what design challenges should be considered in defining the geometry of a pump-turbine impeller. The second part of the paper describes an innovative, staggered approach to impeller development, applied to a low head pump-turbine project. The first level of the process consists of optimization strategies based on evolutionary algorithms together with 3D in-viscid flow analysis. In the next stage, the hydraulic behavior of both pump mode and turbine mode is evaluated by solving the full 3D Navier-Stokes equations in combination with a robust turbulence model. Finally, the progress in hydraulic design is demonstrated by model test results that show a significant improvement in hydraulic performance compared to an existing reference design.

This research aims to demonstrate the optimal geometrical design of splayed multiple cross-sectional pin fin heat sinks (SMCSPFHS), which are a type of side-inlet-side-outlet heat sink (SISOHS). The optimiser strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm2 (SPEA2)is employed to explore a set of Pareto optimalsolutions. Objective functions are the fan pumping power and junction temperature. Function evaluations can be accomplished using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis. Design variablesinclude pin cross-sectional areas, the number of fins, fin pitch, thickness of heatsink base, inlet air speed, fin heights, and fin orientations with respect to the base. Design constraints are defined in such a way as to make a heat sink usable and easy to manufacture. The optimum results obtained from SPEA2 are compared with the straight pin fin design results obtained from hybrid population-based incremental learning and differential evolution (PBIL-DE), SPEA2, and an unrestricted population size evolutionary multiobjective optimisation algorithm (UPSEMOA). The results indicate that the splayed pin-fin design using SPEA2 issuperiorto those reported in the literature.

A sorption cooler, which utilizes helium-4 as a working fluid, was previously developed and tested in KAIST. The cooler consists of a sorption pump and a thermosyphon. The developed sorption cooler aims to pre-cool a certain amount of the magnetic refrigerant of an adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) from 4.5 K to 2.5 K. To simulate the high heat capacitance of the magnetic refrigerant, liquid helium was utilized not only as a refrigerant for the sorption cooling but also as a thermal capacitor. The previous experiment, however, showed that the lowest temperature of 2.7 K which was slightly higher than the target temperature (2.5 K) was achieved due to the radiation heat leak. This excessive heat leak would not occur when the sorption cooler is completely integrated with the ADR. Thus, based on the experimentally obtained pumping speed, the prediction model for the sorption cooler is developed in this study. The presented model in this paper assumes the sorption cooler is integrated with the ADR and the heat leak is negligible. The model predicts the amount of the liquid helium and the required time for the sorption cooling process. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the performance of the sorption cooler is enhanced by reducing the volume of the thermosiphon. The detailed results and discussions are summarized.

Vacuum simulation is associated with the prediction and calculation of how materials, pumps and systems will perform using mathematical equations. In this investigation, three different high vacuum systems were simulated and estimated with each vacuum characteristics by VacTran simulator. In each of modelled vacuum systems, selection of gas loads into vessel, combination of rough and high vacuum pumps and dimension of conductance elements were proposed as system variables. In pump station model, the pumping speed to pressures by the combination of root pump was analyzed under the variations of vessel volume. In this study, the effects of outgassing dependent on vessel materials was also simulated and aluminum vessel was estimated to optimum materials. It was obtained from the modelling with diffusion pump that the diameter, length of 50×250[mm]roughing line was characterized as optimum variables to reach the ultimate pressure of 10E-7[torr]. Optimum design factors for vacuum characteristics of modelled vacuum system were achieved by VacTran simulator. Feasibility of VacTran as vacuum simulator was verified and applications of VacTran in high tech process expected to be increased.

아스팔트 노반상 자갈궤도(이하, AC자갈궤도)는 아스팔트 콘크리트 노반(이하, AC노반)에 의한 열차하중의 분산으로 노반 두께 감소 효과, 빗물의 침투방지 효과로 인한 노반부의 강도저하와 연약화 방지 효과, 노반 분니 방지 및 동상방지에 의한 유지보수비 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이와 같은 장점들에 의해 AC자갈궤도는 유럽 및 일본 등에서 널리 사용되고 있으며 국내에서도 도입을 위한 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS을 이용하여 현재 철도설계기준에 제시되어 있는 고속철도용 자갈궤도의 성능에 부합하는 AC자갈궤도 단면을 선정하고 선정된 2개의 단면을 대상으로 실물 대형 정 동적 열차하중 재하 시험을 수행하였다. 실대형 실험 결과, AC자갈궤도가 강화노반 상면에 작용하는 토압이 상대적으로 작게 측정되었으며 탄성 및 소성변위도 상대적으로 유사 또는 작은 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 AC자갈궤도가 자갈궤도에 비해 열차하중 분산효과에 의한 강화노반 두께 감소효과가 있고 소성변위도 작으므로 궤도의 장기 유지관리 측면에서도 유리한 궤도구조임을 확인하였다.
