게르마늄 결정은 검출에 유용하지 않지만, 광자를 강하게 약화하기 때문에 효율성 저하를 일어키는 불감층을 가지고 있다. 따라서 제조업체가 제공하는 데이터를 검출기 시뮬레이션 모델에 사용하면 계산된 효율성과 측정된 효율성 사이에 약간의 큰 차이가 나타난다. 고순도 게르마늄(HPGe) 검출기의 모양과 치수는 CT 스캔을 통해 몬테카롤롤 시뮬레이션을 위해 형상을 정확하게 형상화하였다. 이 결과 불감층 두께 증가가 효율 감소과정에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다. 불감층의 조정은 50 - 1500 keV의 에너지 범위에서 측정 효율과 시뮬레이션 효율 사이의 ${\pm}3%$의 상대편차와 함께 좋은 일치임을 확인하였다. 불감층 두께에 변화를 주어 시뮬레이션 데이터를 비교하였다. 몬테카롤로 시뮬레이션 결과를 실험 결과와 비교하여 새로운 불감층 두꼐를 얻었다. 1.4와 1.6 mm 두께의 End Cap 시뮬레이션 모델에서 1.5mm 두께의 End Cap시뮬레이션 모델에 대한 불감층 두꼐 결과의 차이는 End Cap 치수의 정확성으로 인한 체계적인 오류였다. 통계적 오류와 체계적 오류를 고려한 후, 검출기의 불감충 두께는 $1.02{\pm}0.14mm$로 도출되었다. 따라서 불감층 두께의 증가는 효율성 감소에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

A manufacturing environment without a computerized system causes numerous problems, since many important decisions are made based on the experience of veteran staffs. Especially, when a strategy for the improvement of manufacturing efficiency is considered, it is hard to predict the effect of the strategy. A solution to the problem without large investment of the computerized system is the simulation study. This paper shows the modeling and simulation based on DEVS(Discrete Event System Specification). Two types of models are implemented, one for representing the current production strategy and the other for the new strategy. The new strategy is expressed as priority rules within the model. The process in concern is the metal grating production process in which the size of the group, for applying a specific cutting and scheduling strategies, is one of the important factors in improving the production efficiency. Some reliable criteria for the evaluation related to the production effeciency are established from the simulation study.

The simulation program for solar cells, PC1D, was briefly reviewed and the device modeling of a multicrystalline Si solar cell using the program was carried out to understand the internal operating principles. The effects of design parameters on the light absorption and the quantum efficiency were investigated and strategies to reduce carrier recombination, such as back surface field and surface passivation, were also characterized with the numerical simulation. In every step of the process, efficiency improvements for the key performance characteristics of the model device were determined and compared with the properties of the solar cell, whose efficiency (20.3%) has been confirmed as the highest in multicrystalline Si devices. In this simulation work, it was found that the conversion efficiency of the prototype model (13.6%) can be increased up to 20.7% after the optimization of design parameters.

During the water treatment process for household water supply, a reservoir is the last place the water is stored before being supplied to users, and the duration of the water's stay is an important factor that affects its safety. This may cause the concentration of the residual chlorine disinfectant to increase and thus lower the water's quality. The concentration and discharge efficiency of residual chlorine must be verified and managed, because these are key factors that affect the reservoir's performance. Because the actual verification test for analyzing the efficiency of a reservoir and the disinfectant's dilution capacity is difficult, simulations are generally conducted using the computational fluid analysis method. However, the simulation results require validation with experiments. The error and drainage efficiency were analyzed in this study by comparing and analyzing the actual tracer test and simulation so that the actual test for a hexagonal drainage can be replaced by the computational fluid analysis method. Based on the results of the efficiency analysis, the hexagonal reservoir was found to be appropriate, and the simulation's reliability was verified with a tracer test.

The objective of this paper is to investigate characteristics of an autothermal reformer at various operating conditions. Numerical method has been used, and simulation model has been developed for the analysis. Pseudo-homogeneous model is incorporated because the reactor is filled with catalysts of a packed-bed type. Dominant chemical reactions are Full Combustion reaction, Steam Reforming(SR) reaction, Water-Gas Shift(WGS) reaction, and Direct Steam Reforming(DSR) reaction. Simulation results are compared with experimental results for code validation. Operating parameters of the autothermal reformer are inlet temperature, Oxygen to Carbon Ratio(OCR), Steam to Carbon Ratio(SCR), and Gas Hourly Space Velocity(GHSV). Temperature at the reactor center, fuel conversion, species at the reformer outlet, and reforming efficiency are shown as simulation results. SR reaction rate is improved by increased inlet temperature. Reforming efficiency and fuel conversion reached the maximum at 0.7 of OCR. SR reaction and WGS reaction are activated as SCR increases. When GHSV is increased, reforming efficiency increases but pressure drop from the increased GHSV may decrease the system efficiency.

검출기의 실제 모양과 제조사에서 제공한 데이터를 기준으로 Penelope simulation을 통해 검출기 모양을 구현하며 측정치에서 얻은 효율을 기준으로 하여 적합한 사층 두께에 적용하였다. 검출기의 simulation 된 전체에너지피크 효율 채널수와 crystal의 Outside contact layer가 전체에너지피크 효율에 미치는 영향을 결정 하기위한 효율 계산은 Penelope Code를 사용하여 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.2 ,1.4 mm의 다양한 사층 두께에 대해 수행하였다. 외부 접촉 사층 두께가 5배 증가하였을 때, 59.50 keV의 경우 전체에너지피크 효율이 약 36% 감소하였으며, 1836.01 keV 경우 10% 감소하였다. 또한 10배 증가할수록 59.54 keV의 경우 FEP 효율이 약 20% 감소하였으며, 1836.01 keV 경우 7% 감소하였음을 확인하였다. Penelope simulation된 전체에너지피크 효율 채널은 사층 증가에 따라 기하급수적으로 감소한다. 또한, 총 효과 곡선은 0.3 - 1.4 mm 사층 두께 영역에서 3.5% 미만의 상대적 차이로 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 그러나 비균질 사층이 몬테카를로 모델에서 여전히 매개변수라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Recently color AC PDP(plasma display panel) technology is rapidly improved. However, the luminous efficiency improvement is a key issue for making plasma display into a large-area flat display. In this paper, we suggest a new concentration of Xe in He-Ne-Xe gas mixture in order to achieve a high luminous efficiency of color AC PDPs. We calculated the densities of 25 species as a function of the time zero dimensional simulation using CVODE solver and we compared the results of zero dimensional simulation with a measurement of photo wave brightness and luminous efficiency, in order to find the optimum mixing condition of He-Ne-Xe gas in color plasma display panel. We obtained a high discharge speed under Xe mixing ratio of 1% by simulation and confirmed that through measuring photo wave.

The performance of a plastic scintillator for use in an in situ measurement system was analyzed using simulation and experimental methods. The experimental results of four major pure beta-emitting radionuclides, namely $^3H$, $^{14}C$, $^{32}P$, and $^{90}Sr/^{90}Y$, were compared with those obtained using a Monte Carlo N-particle (MCNP) code simulation. The MCNP simulation and experimental results demonstrated good agreement for $^{32}P$ and $^{90}Sr/^{90}Y$, with a relative difference of 1.95% and 0.43% between experimental and simulation efficiencies for $^{32}P$ and $^{90}Sr/^{90}Y$, respectively. However, owing to the short range of beta particles in water, the efficiency for $^{14}C$ was extremely low, and $^3H$ could not be detected. To directly measure the low-energy beta radionuclides considering their short range, a system where the source could flow directly to the scintillator was developed. The optimal thickness of the plastic scintillator was determined based on the suggested diameter. Results showed that the detection efficiency decreases with an increase in the depth of the water. The detection efficiency decreased drastically to approximately 10 cm, and the tendency was gradually constant.

This paper is concerned with the simulation and determination of the input voltage and frequency for the optimal efficiency operation of induction motors. In general, induction motors have a specific character that operation efficiency is dropped sharply at the light roads condition. Consequently, if the induction motor is controlled by high efficiency using the VVVF(variable voltage variable frequency) control methods at optimal values, the entire system can obtain the substantial energy savings from the efficiency improvement in induction motors. In this paper, optimal slip is derived from the modeling of an induction motor and the optimal hybrid-control method is suggested by the simulation of the proposed algorithm for a 3-phase induction motor.
