Backcap is an electric remote control system for the operation of directional flow control valves. This paper presents a new type of basckcap system which is characterized by its simple construction. The backcap is essentially a hydraulic cylinder of which the piston is connected to a spool of hydraulic valve and controlled by input current. An inherent feedback is imposed on its mechanism so that no artificial noe is needed. Characteristics of the backcap is verified by stability analysis, transient motion and steady state positioning for step inputs. Design parameter analyses have been executer by some analytical approaches and computer simulations, which lead to their optimal valves. These results contributed to an effective new backcap system and its design strategy.

This paper presents a study on the state-of-charge (SOC) reference based active cell balancing in real-time. The optimal references of SOC are determined by using the proposed active cell balancing system with the bidirectional DC/DC converters via the dual active bridge (DAB) type. Then, the energies between cells can be balanced by the power flow control of DAB based bidirectional DC/DC converters. That is, it provides the effective management of battery by transferring energy from the strong cell to the weak one until the cell voltages are equalized to the same level and therefore improving the additional charging capacity of battery. In particular, the cell aging of battery and power loss caused from energy transfer are considered. The performances of proposed active cell balancing system are evaluated by an electromagnetic transient program (EMTP) simulation. Then, the experimental prototype is implemented in hardware to verify the usefulness of proposed system.

A suspended membrane micro fluidic heat flux sensor that is able to measure the heat flow rate was designed and fabricated by a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible process. The combination of a thirty-junction gold and nickel thermoelectric sensor with an ultralow noise preamplifier, low pass filter, and lock-in amp has enabled the resolution of 50 nW power and provides the sensitivity of $11.4\;mV/{\mu}W$. The heater modulation method was used to eliminate low frequency noises from sensor output. It is measured with various heat flux fluid of DI-water to test as micro fluidic application. In order to estimate the heat generation of samples from the output measurement of a micro fluidic heat-flux sensor, a methodology for modeling and simulating electro-thermal behavior in the micro fluidic heat-flux sensor with integrated electronic circuit is presented and validated. The electro-thermal model was constructed by using system dynamics, particularly the bond graph. The electro-thermal system model in which the thermal and the electrical domain are coupled expresses the heat generation of samples converts thermal input to electrical output. The proposed electro-thermal system model shows good agreement with measured output voltage response in transient state and steady-state.

Due to the effect of surface tension, liquid film around a curved edge of solid surface moves from the corner to the flat surface. During this behavior of liquid film, film sagging phenomenon is easily occurred at the solid surface. Behavior of liquid film is determined with the effects of the properties of liquid film and the geometric factors of solid surface. In the present study, 2-D transient CFD simulations were conducted on the behavior of liquid film around a curved edge. The two-phase interfacial flow of liquid film was numerically investigated by using a VOF method in order to predict the film sagging around a curved edge. In the steady state of behavior of liquid film, the liquid film thickness of numerical result showed a good agreement with experimental data. After verifying the numerical results, the characteristics of behavior of liquid film were numerically analyzed with various properties of liquid film such as surface tension coefficient and viscosity. The effects of geometric factors on film sagging were also investigated to reduce the film sagging around a curved edge.

In order to investigate liquid fuel filming over the intake manifold wall, an electrode-type probe has been developed by lines of authors and this probe was employed in a single cylinder two and four-stroke cycle engine and in a four cylinder four-stroke engine operated by neat methanol fuel. The performance of the probe was dependent upon several parameters including the liquid fuel layer thickness, temperature, additive in the fuel, and electric power source (i.e., AC and voltage level) and was independent of other variables such as direction of liquid flow with respect to the probe arrangement. Several new findings from this study may be in order. The flow velocity of the fuel layer in the intake manifold of engine was about (if the air velocity in the steady state operation, the layer thickness of liquid fuel varied in both the circumferential and longitydinal directions. In the transient operation of the engine, the temporal variation of fuel thickness was determined, which clearly suggests that there was difference between fuel/air ratio in the intake manifold and that in the cylinder. The variation was greatly affected by the engine speed, fuel/air ratio and throttle opening. And the variation was also very significant from cylinder to cylinder and it was particularly strong different engine speeds and throttle opening.

Three-dimensional transient simulation of laser-GMA hybrid welding involving multiple physical phenomena is conducted neglecting the interaction effect of laser and arc heat sources. To reproduce the bubble and pore formations in welding process, a new bubble model is suggested and added to the established laser and arc welding models comprehending VOF, Gaussian laser and arc heat source, recoil pressure, arc pressure, electromagnetic force, surface tension, multiple reflection and Fresnel reflection models. Based on the models mentioned above, simulations of laser-GMA hybrid butt welding are carried out and besides the molten pool flow, top and back bead formations could be observed. In addition, the laser induced keyhole formation and bubble generation duo to keyhole collapse are investigated. The bubbles are ejected from the molten pool through its top and bottom regions. However, some of those are entrapped by solid-liquid interface and remained as pores. Those bubbles and pores are intensively generated when the absorption of laser power is largely reduced and consequently the full penetration changes to the partial penetration.

An objective of this study is to give practical information that could be used for calculating pollutant emission factors and fuel economy from Korean Inspection & Maintenance program, which has been using steady state acceleration simulation mode. Concentration results from I/M test is adequately converted to mass emission factors and fuel efficiency data, which have unit of g/km and km/L, respectively. Exhaust volume flow(EVF), which is for converting emission result from concentration to mass, is measured by tracer method in various vehicle speed - power condition. It is found that there is an apparent second order relationship between EVF and vehicle inertia weight. EVF is expressed in function of vehicle inertia weight in order to estimate EVF in I/M site without measuring device. Converted mass emission results from measured EVF and raw emission analyzer show a satisfactory agreement with those from conventional CVS-bag type measurement system. Mass emission factors and fuel efficiency from measured EVF and estimated EVF also show good agreement to each other. Considering that an I/M program has great advantages to recruit-based emission test in terms of the number of test vehicle, the information in this study can be used for developing an alternative procedure to collect more various data to establish national database of mobile emission factors and fuel economy, even though the driving cycle in I/M program is steady state cycle rather than transient cycle.

한국 부산광역시 수영구 지역 해안 대수층 내의 밀도 의존적 지하수 유동 및 염분 이동에 대한 도시화의 영향을 효과적으로 모사하고 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 하나의 범용 다차원 수리동역학적 분산 수치 모델을 이용한 일련의 삼차원 수치 모델링이 수행되었다. 먼저 모든 도시화 요소들을 고려한 수치 모델링 보정을 통해 확립된 연구 지역해안 대수층의 지층 물성을 가지고, 도시화 요소들을 모두 고려하지 않은 도시화 이전의 지하수 유동과 염분 이동에 대한 정상 상태 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 그 다음에 도시화 요소들을 개별적으로 그리고 통합적으로 고려한 도시화 이후의 지하수 유동 및 염분 이동에 대한 비정상 상태 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 그리고 두 수치 모델링 결과를 서로 비교하고 분석하였다. 수치 모델링 결과는 해안 대수층 내의 밀도 의존적 지하수 유동 및 염분 이동 그리고 해수 침투가 이러한 도시화 요소들에 의해 크게 그리고 광범위하게 영향을 받음을 보여준다. 특히 이러한 도시화 요소들은 해안 대수층 내의 총지하수량 및 총염분량의 변화를 초래한다. 그러나 각 도시화 요소의 그러한 영향은 공간적으로 균일하지 않고 국부적으로 차별적이다.

The aim of this paper is to enhance the accuracy of predicting time-averaged external surface pressures on low-rise buildings by utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. To achieve this, benchmark studies of the Silsoe cube and the Texas Tech University (TTU) experimental building are employed for comparison with simulation results. The paper is structured into three main sections. In the initial part, an appropriate domain size is selected based on the precision of mean pressure coefficients on the windward face of the cube, utilizing Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models. Subsequently, recommendations regarding the optimal computational domain size for an isolated building are provided based on revised findings. Moving on to the second part, the Silsoe cube model is examined within a horizontally homogeneous computational domain using more accurate turbulence models, such as Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and hybrid RANS-LES models. For computational efficiency, transient simulation settings are employed, building upon previous studies by the authors at the Windstorm Impact, Science, and Engineering (WISE) Lab, Louisiana State University (LSU). An optimal meshing strategy is determined for LES based on a grid convergence study. Three hybrid RANS-LES cases are investigated to achieve desired enhancements in the distribution of mean pressure coefficients on the Silsoe cube. In the final part, a 1:10 scale model of the TTU building is studied, incorporating the insights gained from the second part. The generated flow characteristics, including vertical profiles of mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and velocity spectra (small and large eddies), exhibit good agreement with full-scale (TTU) measurements. The results indicate promising roof pressures achieved through the careful consideration of meshing strategy, time step, domain size, inflow turbulence, near-wall treatment, and turbulence models. Moreover, this paper demonstrates an improvement in mean roof pressures compared to other state-of-the-art studies, thus highlighting the significance of CFD simulations in building aerodynamics.

지표하 다공성매체에서 비정상상태의 유동을 해석하기 위한 종래의 수치적 모형들은 초기 건조한 토양으로의 강우로 인한 침투와 같은 한계적인 유입경계조건인 경우에 국지적 유동영역으로 인해 수치적 진동 및 불안정성을 초래한다. 이러한 경우 주로 공간적으로 세분된 격자와 작은 계산시간 간격을 요구하는데 이는 계산의 효율성을 떨어뜨린다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유입 경계조건을 포함하는 비정상 상태의 지표하 유동해석을 위해 입자추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 불연속영역에서의 수치적 불안정성을 제거하고자 하였다. 즉, 수치적 안정성이 개선된 혼합 LE 유한요소기법을 제시하였다. 제시된 모형의 수치적 검증을 위해 비정상 균일 유동장과 불균일 유동장의 가상예제에 적용한 결과 해석해와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었고 이를 토대로 함양 및 양수에 대한 3차원 가상유역 모의에 적용되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 입자추적 알고리즘은 포화 및 불포화 다공성 매체의 유동을 보다 실질적으로 모의할 수 있으며 계산의 정확성 및 안정성에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단되었다.
