가스터빈 연소기의 난류유동장을 구성하는 기본적인 유동형태는 크게 밀폐관내의 돌연 확대를 가지는 동축제트, 선회유동, 그리고 연소공기공 및 회석공기공을 통해 연소실에 수직방향으로 유입되는 제트유동 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 실제 가스터빈 연소기내의 난류유동장을 수치해석하기 위해서는 임의의 형상을 갖는 3차원 유동장을 모사할 수 있는 수치해석법과 고차정확도를 유지하면서도 수렴안정성을 만족시키는 대류항 처리기법 등과 같은 수치모델의 개발이 선행되어야 하며, 이와 함께 복잡한 난류연소유동장을 정확히 묘사할 수 있는 난류모델 및 난류연소모델의 개발 및 검증이 가장 중요한 요인이 된다. 또한 가스터빈 연소기의 최적 설계는 넓은 작동구간에서 높은 효율, NOx 및 CO 배기량의 저감, 희박연소 가연한계의 확장, 연소계통에서의 낮은 압력강하, 낮은 연소벽면온도와 온도구배를 유지시키기 위한 공기에 의한 충분한 냉각 같은 서로 상충되는 설계조건을 만족해야 한다. 그리고, 이러한 상충된 연소설계조건들을 충족시키는 최적 연소기의 설계를 위해서는 실험적인 연구뿐만 아니라 연소기내의 물리적인 현상을 잘 반영할 수 있는 물리적 모델을 바탕으로 한 연소유동의 해석적인 연구를 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 원통형 가스터빈 연소기의 등온 및 연소유동장, 그리고 연소기와 연결되는 Scroll 내부의 난류유동장에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 수치 및 물리모델의 예측능력을 검증하였고, 가스터빈 연소유동장 해석에 관련된 중요 논점들에 대하여 심도있게 분석하였다.

Numerical study of air-blast type injector for low emission aircraft engines was conducted. Volume-of-fluids approach was used to track interface of fuel and air. Primary atomization of fuel stream was visualized, and thickness and mean velocity at the injector exit was calculated. Liquid fuel injected from fuel slots joined together as a thin film on preflimer surface, and interacted with swirling air. As instability on the fuel surface increased, separation of fuel as ligaments and droplets occured. The film thickness and velocity were used to as fuel injection boundary condition for reactive flow simulation. Primary reaction zone was formed in vicinity of the fuel nozzle, creating a stable flame inside the combustor.

Current wind turbine units that are used primarily 3Blade type devices or large-scale wind-term capacity of 2MW of 60m~90m Blade diameter is applied. This is not the best suitable design with the designing condition for the special quality of wind condition in the South-West Coastal Areas of Korea where the wind speed frequency of average wind speed and over 10m/s high wind velocity is fairly low. For this matter, in this dissertation, the expecting generation amount of electric power is measured excluding a mechanical moment, considering wind power energy traveling to the Blade when 60m~120m blade is applied, based on 2MW wind generator. Also, we would like to propose the Blade diameter which is fitted by wind condition of South-West Coastal Areas of Korea.

Piezo-based active structural health monitoring (SHM) requires amplifiers specifically designed for capacitive loads. Moreover, with the increase in number of applications of wireless SHM systems, energy efficiency and cost reduction for this type of amplifiers is becoming a requirement. General lab grade amplifiers are big and costly, and not built for outdoor environments. Although some piezoceramic power amplifiers are available in the market, none of them are specifically targeting the wireless constraints and low power requirements. In this paper, a piezoceramic transducer amplifier for wireless active SHM systems has been designed. Power requirements are met by two digital On/Off switches that set the amplifier in a standby state when not in use. It provides a stable ${\pm}180$ Volts output with a bandwidth of 7k Hz using a single 12 V battery. Additionally, both voltage and current outputs are provided for feedback control, impedance check, or actuator damage verification. Vibration control tests of an aluminum beam were conducted in the University of Houston lab, while wireless active SHM tests of a wind turbine blade were performed in the Harbin Institute of Technology wind tunnel. The results showed that the developed amplifier provided equivalent results to commercial solutions in suppressing structural vibrations, and that it allows researchers to perform active wireless SHM on moving objects with no power wires from the grid.

A rotor is a crucial component in various mechanical assemblies. Additionally, high-speed and high-efficiency components are required in the automotive industry, manufacturing industry, and turbine systems. In particular, the failure of high-speed rotating bearings has catastrophic effects on auxiliary systems. Therefore, bearing reliability and fault diagnosis are essential for bearing maintenance. In this work, we performed failure mode and effect analysis on bearing rotors and determined that corrosion is the most critical failure type. Furthermore, we conducted experiments to extract vibration characteristic data and preprocess the vibration data through principle component analysis. Finally, we applied a machine learning algorithm called support vector machine to diagnose the failure and observed a classification performance of 98%.

Specification selection, Layout, specifications and combinations of Power Drives, and Ship motions were studied for FGPP(Floating Gas-fired Power Plants), which are still needed in areas such as the Caribbean, Latin America, and Southeast Asia where electricity is not sufficiently supplied. From this study, the optimal equipment layout in ships was derived. In addition, the difference between engine and turbine was verified through LCOE(Levelized Cost of Energy) comparison according to the type and combination of Power Drives. Analysis of Hs(Significant Height of wave) and Tp(spectrum Peak Period of wave) for places where this FGPP will be tested or applied enables design according to wave characteristics in Brazil and Indonesia. Normalized Sloshing Pressures of FGPP and LNG Carrier are verified using a sloshing analysis program, which is CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) software developed by ABS(American Bureau of Shipping). Power Transmission System is studied with Double bus with one Circuit Breaker Topology. A nd the CFD analysis allowed us to calculate linear roll damping coefficients for more accurate full load conditions and ballast conditions. Through RAO(Response Amplitude Operator) analysis, we secured data that could minimize the movement of ships according to the direction of waves and ship placement by identifying the characteristics of large movements in the beam sea conditions. The FGPP has been granted an AIP(Approval in Principle) from a classification society, the ABS.

Rare earth magnets with excellent magnetic properties are indispensable in the electric device, wind turbine, and e-mobility industries. The demand for the development of eco-friendly recycling techniques has increased to realize sustainable green technology, and the supply of rare earth resources, which are critical for the production of permanent magnets, are limited. Liquid metal extraction (LME), which is a type of pyrometallurgical recycling, is known to selectively extract the metal forms of rare earth elements. Although several studies have been carried out on the formation of intermetallic compounds and oxides, the effect of oxide formation on the extraction efficiency in the LME process remains unknown. In this study, microstructural and phase analyses are conducted to confirm the oxidation behavior of magnets pulverized by a jaw crusher. The LME process is performed with pulverized scrap, and extraction percentages are calculated to confirm the effect of the oxide phases on the extraction of Dy during the reaction. During the L ME process, Nd is completely extracted after 6 h, while Dy remains as Dy₂Fe₁₇ and Dy-oxide. Because the decomposition rate of Dy₂Fe₁₇ is faster than the reduction rate of Dy-oxide, the importance of controlling Dy-oxide on Dy extraction is confirmed.

In this article, a mathematical model is developed to predict the dynamic behavior of bio-inspired composite beam with helicoidal orientation scheme under variable axial load using a unified higher order shear deformation beam theory. The geometrical kinematic relations of displacements are portrayed with higher parabolic shear deformation beam theory. Constitutive equation of composite beam is proposed based on plane stress problem. The variable axial load is distributed through the axial direction by constant, linear, and parabolic functions. The equations of motion and associated boundary conditions are derived in detail by Hamilton's principle. Using the differential quadrature method (DQM), the governing equations, which are integro-differential equations are discretized in spatial direction, then they are transformed into linear eigenvalue problems. The proposed model is verified with previous works available in literatures. Parametric analyses are developed to present the influence of axial load type, orthotropic ratio, slenderness ratio, lamination scheme, and boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of composite beam structures. The present enhanced model can be used especially in designing spacecrafts, naval, automotive, helicopter, the wind turbine, musical instruments, and civil structures subjected to the variable axial loads.

IN 738LC, the major material for gas-turbine for power generation, was heat treated at $750^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$, $950^{\circ}C$ for 1000, 2000, and 4000 hrs and the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were examined using optical microscope, XRD, SEM/EDS. The results showed ${\gamma}$', the main strengthening elements in this alloy, was about 300 nm in size and was about 56% by area fraction in as-cast samples. The area fraction of ${\gamma}$' peaked at 2000 hours at $750^{\circ}C$. The average diameter of the ${\gamma}$' which was about 300 nm at ascast specimen increased to about 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ after heat treatment at $950^{\circ}C$ for 4000 hrs. Carbides were formed at dendrite, cell or grain boundaries which was ascribed to the segregation caused by solute redistribution during solidification. It was found that MC type carbides formed at low temperature, whereas carbides of $M_{23}$ /$C_{ 6}$/ type formed at higher temperature or at longer degradation. The hardness and impact energy decreased as the heat treatment temperature or time of retention increased, which was inaccrodance with the area fraction of ${\gamma}$'.

As an environmental pollution and global warming due to an excessive carbon emission are intensified, the importance of renewable energy is in rise today. TCP (Tidal Current Power), one of the renewable energy sources, generates electricity by converting kinetic energy of current into rotational energy of turbine. Also the TCP has a great advantages of predictability and reliability. Because the generating power is proportional to cubic of stream velocity, amplifying current speed by applying duct is highly effective to increase the generating power. SPM (Single Point Mooring) can be applied for the weather vane with various current direction and also augments generating power of the system. In addition, simple installation and retrieval could be a merit of SPM system. By combining duct and SPM, TCP system for relatively low-speed-current and shallow water region can be feasible and economical. In this study, single point moored duct-type TCP system was designed and the motion of submerged structure was investigated in both numerical and experimental method. DNV wadam V4.8-1 and OrcaFlex 10.0a were used for the frequency and time domain motion analysis of system respectively. Duct model scaled by 0.05 of Froude conformity ratio and CWC (Circulate Water Channel) are used for experiment.
