R-410a and R-407c witch have the best potential among the substances being considered as R-22 alternatives were tested as "drop in" refrigerants against a set R-22 baseline tests for comparison. The performance evaluations were carried out in a psychrometric calorimeter test facility using the residential split-type air conditioner under the ARI rating conditions. Other than the use of different lubricant and a hand-operated expansion valve, one of the commercial systems was selected for the experiment. Performance characteristics were measured; compressor power, capacity, VCR, mass flow rate and COP. The tests showed that R-407c can be directly applied to the existing refrigeration system because of its similar vapor pressure and other thermopysical properties with those of R-22. However, it required change to the volume flow rate of compressor in order to achieve the similar performance with R-22 because of its relatively small VCR and capacity. Meanwhile, R-410a has too high a vapor pressure to be applied to the existing system and this feature results in relatively low COP of the system compared to that of R-22. But this could be improved by changing compressor design considering R-410a's relatively high VCR and capacity compared to those of R-22.

In the case of an induction motor efficiency optimal design for electric vehicle which is a real world problem, several different designs are almost equal in terms of efficiency. But these designs may have the differences in terms of other characteristics such as power factor, temperature rise, material cost, and ease of manufacture. Therefore it is necessary that an optimization routine suggests various possible solution alternatives and a designer selects optimal solution among them using other characteristics, his experience and judgment. In this paper new niching genetic algorithm and the rating function method to select the optimal point among possible optimal solution alternatives are presented.

Recently, the application of renewable energy to building is steadily increasing in domestic due to the energy saving efforts around the world. Among the all, wind energy is one of the rising energy source because of its high technological maturity. Domestic wind power market has rapidly increased in recent years but the certification system for wind turbine has not been activated since it was introduced in 2009. Thus, this study aims to propose the improvement of certification system for wind turbine by comparing domestic certification system with international certification system. The result of this study are as follows. First, domestic certification system needs to be subdivided and established by systematic standards. Second, it is considered that education about rating standards is required to wind turbine makers to activate domestic certification system. Third, domestic certification agenciesand test agencies need to be unified and reduced.

Usually, after the decisions of the performance and range in the commercial vehicle, it is designed the ratings of the electric and mechanical elements for the vehicles. In this paper, the given performance and driving conditions, which are the maximum velocity, mileage, total weight of the normal gasoline scooter, battery type and size, and so on, are analysed for the design of the electric scooter. The maximum rotational speed and needed torque values of the electric motor which is substituted for the gasoline engine are calculated. These values can help to calculate the rating of the electric motor. In the calculation to obtain the torque and speed values, battery discharge and the running resistances are considered. We can decide the electric motor current value from the torque and speed values. The electric motor current values, which are significant parameter to decide the motor type and dimensions and characteristics of the electric motor, are decided by numerical simulation by the above conditions.

With the phaseout of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, refrigeration and heat pump systems must be redesigned to match and improve system performance with alternative refrigerants. A generalized flow model for predicting mass flow rate through short tube orifices is derived from a power law form of dimensionless parameters generated by Pi-theorem. The database for developing the correlation includes extensive experimental data for R12, R22, R134a, R407C, R410A, and R502 from the open literature. The correlation yields an average deviation of $0.3\%$ and a standard deviation of $6.1\%$ based on the present database. In addition, rating charts for predicting refrigerant flow rate through short tube orifices are generated for R12, R22, R134a, R407C, R410A, and R502.

R-410A, R-407C, and four refrigerant mixtures composed of R-32, R-l34a, R-l43a, R-l52a, R-600(butane), and R-600a(isobutane) were tested in an attempt to replace R-22 used in most of the residential air conditioners. The performance evaluation was carried out in a psychrometric calorimeter test facility using a residential spilt type air conditioner under the KS rating conditions. Except for the lubricant and hand-operated expansion valve, the other parts of the air conditioner were the same with the commercial system. Performance characteristics were measured; COP, capacity, compressor power, and VCR. R-410A was shown to have 5.5% higher COP and 3.5% lower capacity than R-22. R-32/134a/600a (42.8/ 46.0/11.2 wt%) mixture have the best performance among the four refrigerant mixtures composed of hydrofluorocarbon and hydrocarbon. This inixture have 3.0% lower COP and 1.6% lower capacity than R-22.

The passivation of AZ91D Mg alloys through plasma anodization depends on several process parameters, such as power mode and electrolyte composition. In this work, we study the dependence of the thickness, composition, pore formation, surface roughness, and corrosion resistance of formed films on the electrolyte temperature at which anodization is performed. The higher the electrolyte temperature, the lower is the surface roughness, the smaller is the oxide thickness, and the better is the corrosion resistance. More specifically, as the electrolyte temperature increases from 10 to $50^{\circ}C$, the surface roughness (Ra) decreases from 0.7 to $0.15{\mu}m$ and the corrosion resistance increases from 3.5 to 9 in terms of rating number in a salt spray test. The temperature increase from 10 to $50^{\circ}C$ also causes an increase in magnesium content in the film from 25 to 63 wt% and a decrease in oxygen from 66 to 21 wt%, indicating dehydration of the film.

With ever rising concerns about saving of fossil fuel resource, there have been an increasing demand for use of energy more efficiently. The electric motor driven inverters can be a great help to improve energy efficiency. They are also used to control the motor speed to the actual need. Therefore the use of them can lead to reduce energy consumption. In particular, the medium voltage(MV) drive systems used for pumps, fans, steel rolling mills and tractions have widespread applications in the industry. They cover power ratings from 0.4MW to 40MW at the MV level of 2.3kV to 13.8kV. The majority of the installed MV drive systems however, are in the 1MW to 4MW range with voltage rating from 3.3kV to 6.6kV. But they are required to reduce size and weight like other power electronic equipments. In this paper, we studied on the 3.3kV(105A) compact rack type inverter system for improving the cooling efficiency. At first, we confirmed the tendency of temperature with computational simulation using ANSYS ICEPAK and actual experimental tests. And then we researched thermal performance improvement designs in order to reduce temperature of the transformer for the safe operation. It can reduce temperature of transformer that using pipe type flow guide in the system. As a result, we found out more efficient solution by thermal-fluid analysis.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of rice (R) and brown rice (BR) flour on the quality characteristics of morning bread. The quality characteristics of morning bread were determined by measuring the pH of the dough, dough raising power, moisture content, baking loss rate, specific volume, height, color value, texture analysis and sensory evaluations. The pH of the bread dough was highest on R1:BR2 and R0:BR3. The dough raising power and moisture content steadily and significantly decreased as the amount of added brown rice flour increased. The baking loss rate was highest on R3:BR0. The specific volume and height of morning bread were highest on R3:BR0 and R2:BR1. In color value, the L value decreased significantly as the amount of added brown rice flour increased, while a value and b value increased. The hardness, gumminess and chewiness of morning bread increased with an increase in brown rice flour. In consumer acceptability, R3:BR0, R2:BR1 and R1:BR2 showed the highest scores in all parameters. Characteristic intensity rating of roasted taste was lowest on R3:BR0. These results indicate that R2:BR1 showed similar quality characteristics as compared to morning bread without brown rice flour, with the optimal results appreciated with a 2:1 ratio of rice flour to brown rice flour.

Under normal operating condition, the conductor of overhead transmission line could be always hold it's clearance within the safety margin that is specified in the line design guide of power company. Hence it may be very important to measure/or monitor the dip of the conductor, when building a new line, re-tensioning for an aged conductor, or monitoring dynamic line rating to maximize power capability. In this paper, we suggest a new method to estimate the dip and tension by catenary angle of the conductor. Since most conductors in overhead transmission lines show typical catenary curves, it can be uniquely determined the catenary curve for the conductor from the catenary angle at tower. Based on the catenary curve, the dip or horizontal tension can be easily estimated. Through some simulation and simple experimental results, it is verified that the suggested method can be effectively applied to measure/or monitor conductor dips and tensions in the overhead transmission lines.
