본 연구에서는 슬릿 휜-관 열교환기의 공기측 압력강하 특성을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 물을 작동유체로 사용한 기존의 실험은 공기측 압력강하에 대해 일관된 방법을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 R22를 적용하여 휜-관 열교환기의 전표면과 습표면에 공기측의 압력강하 특성을 나타내는 표준 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 기존의 실험 상관식과 본 연구에서 제시한 실험 데이터를 증발기와 응축기의 설계조건에서 레이놀즈수와 f-factor의 관계식으로 나타내었다. 본 실험은 공기의 속도가 $0.38{\sim}1.6\;m/s$ 일 때 냉매의 질량 유속 범위를 $150{\sim}250\;kg/m^2s$하여 수행하였다.

In this research, a multi-slit prompt-gamma camera was developed to locate the distal dose falloff of the proton beam spots in spot scanning proton therapy. To see the performance of the developed camera, therapeutic proton beams were delivered to a solid plate phantom and then the prompt gammas from the phantom were measured using the camera. Our results show that the camera locates the 90% distal dose falloff (= d90%), within about 2-3 mm of error for the spots which are composed $3.8{\times}10^8$ protons or more. The measured location of d90% is not very sensitive to the irradiation depth of the proton beam (i.e., the depth of proton beam from the phantom surface toward which the camera is located). Considering the number of protons per spot for the most distal spots in typical treatment cases (i.e., 2 Gy dose divided in 2 fields), the camera can locate d90% only for a fraction of the spots depending on the treatment cases. However, the information of those spots is still valuable in that, in the multi-slit prompt-gamma camera, the distal dose falloff of the spots is located solely based on prompt gamma measurement, i.e., not referring to Monte Carlo simulation.

In theory, the sharp dose falloff at the distal end of a proton beam allows for high conformal dose to the target. However, conformity has not been fully achieved in practice, primarily due to beam range uncertainty, which is approximately 4% and varies slightly across institutions. To address this issue, we developed a new range verification system prototype: a multi-slit prompt-gamma camera (MSPGC). This system features high prompt-gamma detection sensitivity, an advanced range estimation algorithm, and a precise camera positioning system. We evaluated the range measurement precision of the prototype for single spot beams with varying energies, proton quantities, and positions, as well as for spot-scanning proton beams in a simulated SSPT treatment using a phantom. Our results demonstrated high accuracy (<0.4 mm) in range measurement for the tested beam energies and positions. Measurement precision increased significantly with the number of protons, achieving 1% precision with 5 × 10⁸ protons. For spot-scanning proton beams, the prototype ensured more than 5 × 10⁸ protons per spot with a 7 mm or larger spot aggregation, achieving 1% range measurement precision. Based on these findings, we anticipate that the clinical application of the new prototype will reduce range uncertainty (currently approximately 4%) to 1% or less.

본 논문에서는 십자형 평판 모노폴 안테나에 L자형 슬릿을 두어 이중공진 및 삼진공진 등 다중 공진 특성이 발생하는 새로운 형태의 안테나 구조를 제안하였다. 십자형 평판 모노폴 안테나 구조에서 다중공진 특성이 발생하도록 하기 위해서는 평판 모노폴 안테나의 높이와 길이를 원하는 공진 주파수에 맞추고, 안테나 표면에 L자형 슬릿을 두어 슬릿의 길이와 슬릿의 개수에 따라 공진 주파수를 여러 개 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 안테나의 장점은 L자형 슬릿의 길이와 개수에 의해 쉽게 특정 주파수 대역에서 다중공진이 발생하도록 설계 가능하다는 것이다. 또한, 공진이 발생하는 주파수에서 모두 무지향성의 방사패턴과 함께 일정 수준 이상의 고이득을 가져 차량용 등 이동체용 안테나에 적합하다.

본 논문은 소형화와 고이득을 위하여 패치 안테나에 원형 슬릿을 구현하였으며 900 MHz 대역에서 동작이 되도록 설계하였다. 사각형 모양의 패치형태를 변형하여 안테나 크기를 일차적으로 줄였으며 나아가 패치 안에 원형 슬릿을 추가하여 추가적으로 안테나의 크기를 감소시켰다. 원형슬릿의 개수와 반지름을 설계 변수로 설정하여 원하는 대역에서 반사손실을 약 -30 dB까지 되도록 Tuning 하였으며 방사패턴의 최대 이득도 약 4 dBi에 이르도록 안테나의 설계를 수행하였다. 원형슬릿이 존재하지 않는 경우 대비 약 20 MHz 정도의 공진 주파수 하향천이를 구현하여 본 논문에서 설계한 안테나의 소형화가 달성되었음을 증명하였다.

The effect of the radial temperature gradient and the presence of slits in the wall of outer of two cylinders involved in creating a Taylor-Couette flow was investigated by measuring the velocity field inside the gap. The slits were azimuthally located along the inner wall of the outer cylinder and the number of slits used in this study was 18. The radius ratio and aspect ratio of the models were 0.825 and 48, respectively. The heating film wrapped around the inner cylinder was used for generating the constant heat flux and we ensured the constant temperature condition at the outer space of the outer cylinder. The velocity fields were measured by using the PIV(particle image velocimetry) method. The refractive index matching method was applied to remove image distortion. The results were compared with plain wall configuration of Taylor-Couette flow. From the results, the presence of slits in the wall of outer cylinder and temperature gradient increased the flow instability.

Spectroscopic observations commonly use a slit or fiber; however, non-slit spectroscopy enables us to observe a larger number of targets in one frame of image. Hence, it has been adopted as an observational mode for observatories like HST and JWST. Slitless spectroscopy requires wavelength calibration solutions in order to distinguish and measure the absorption / emission lines from the spectra with high accuracy. We installed the Volume Phase Holographic (VPH) grating to SQUEAN camera on the McDonald 2.1m telescope and obtained images with spectral resolutions of ~ 100 and 200. In order to derive the wavelength calibration, we measured the distances between the 0th order images and spectral features of various quasars. The distances are converted to wavelengths using the known wavelengths of the emission lines. We tested several different methods of spectral extraction and peak estimation of emission lines. We will present the results for the wavelength calibration and suggest the reliable methods to find the solution.

An experimental study was performed to examine the heat transfer performance of individual rows of fin-tube heat exchangers. The heat transfer performance was measured using air-enthalpy type calorimeter. The examined heat exchangers consists of $7{\Phi}$ tube and fin patterns of them are slit and louver types. Equivalent fin spacing are 18 FPI for all samples, and the number of tube rows were 2. In order to confirm that thermal boundary condition on fins of each row are the same, physically separated between two rows as well as connected heat exchangers were used. The frontal air velocity varied from 0.7 to 2.5 m/s. Heat transfer performance for each row are measured. It was observed that the heat transfer coefficient of the 2nd row were smaller than that of the 1st row at low Reynolds number while larger at high Reynolds number.

The heat transfer performance is measured using an air-enthalpy type calorimeter. The examined heat exchangers consist of 7mm tube and fin patterns of them are slit and louver types. Equivalent fin spacings are 18 fins per inch(fpi) for all samples, and the number of tube rows are two. In order to confirm that thermal boundary condition on fins of each row are the same, physically separated between two rows as well as connected heat exchangers are used. The frontal air velocity is varied from 0.7 to 2.5㎧. Heat transfer performance for each row is measured. It is observed that the heat transfer coefficient of the second row is smaller than that of the first row at low Reynolds number while larger at high Reynolds number.
