The purpose of this study is to develop the improvement method of MOV(Motor Operated Valve) operability without major modification or change of MOV which needs a great expense and manpower. We studied valve stem lubrication, stem packing thrust and actuator control switch which could give an major effect to MOV operability, and found the some consequences. First, the stem/stem-nut friction coefficient and stem factor is significantly effected by stem lubrication state. Second, the measured packing thrust value is appeared higer than the design value for tested valves and the preparation of optimal value selection criteria is needed. Finally, optimization of MOV control switch is another major factor for MOV operability and structual integrity.

A three-dimensional slope valve component is used for controlling micro volume of liquid on a centrifugal force-based microfluidic disk platform, also called a lab-on-a-disk. The modeling factor of the slope valve component is determined to centrifugal force for liquid passing the crest of a slope valve via variation of slope length and angle as well as the radius to start point of slope valve. The centrifugal force is calculated by the equilibrium equation of the capillary and gravitational forces according to the microchannel surface roughness and the liquid volume, respectively. As a result, the slope valve is analyzed by the minimum angular velocity for liquid passing at crest point and the ratio between the length of micro liquid and slope length to obtain the factors for optimal slope angle modeling.

The valve used in nuclear power plant must be qualified but the limitation of the test facility leads to use the numerical analysis. The flow coefficient is calculated with the consideration of the pressure, velocity and geometry. And the flow coefficient is the important physical property which is prepared using experiment or analysis by valve manufacturer. In this study, the analysis model was made according to ISA 75.02.01 and the mass flow rate and pressure drop ratio was calculated. The model of the expansion factor was applied to the simulation result and the pressure drop ratio at the start of the choked flow in the valve was found. With the simulation result, the consideration was performed that the expansion factor is the important physical property to the system engineer in addition to the flow coefficient.

This paper deals with a stability evaluation of a butterfly valve using the body and disc of a valve seat. The experimental results of a strength evaluation are shown using STS316 stainless steel and spheroidal graphite cast iron (GCD450). The disc material was made from GCD450. The results of the strength analysis are as follows: Ultimate tensile strength 485MPa, Yield strength 370 MPa, Young's modulus $1.1{\times}10^5$, and Poisson's ratio v = 0.28. For the results of the disc analysis, the safety factor was about 4. This shows that a design was derived that satisfied the requirements of structural safety. However, some problems, such as the deflection and deformation of the disc, may occur when the sea water has back flow with a high pressure.

Background: Surgical treatment of infective endocarditis (IE) remains a challenge, especially in cases of multiple valve surgery. We evaluated the clinical outcomes of native valve IE and compared the outcomes of single valve surgery with those of multiple valve surgery. Materials and Methods: From 1997 to 2011, 90 patients underwent surgery for native valve IE; 67 patients with single valve surgery (single valve group) and 23 patients with multiple valve surgery (multiple valve group). The mean follow-up duration was $73.1{\pm}47.4$ months. Results: The surgical mortality in the total cohort was 4.4%. The overall survival (p=0.913) and valve-related event-free survival (p=0.204) did not differ between the two groups. The independent predictor of postoperative complications was New York Heart Association class (p=0.001). Multiple valve surgery was not a significant predictor of surgical mortality (p=0.225) or late mortality (p=0.936). Uncontrolled infection, urgent or emergency surgery, and postoperative complications were identified as independent predictors of valve-related morbidity, excluding multiple valve surgery (p=0.072). Conclusion: In native valve IE, multiple valve surgery as a factor was not an independent predictor of mortality and morbidity. The number of surgically corrected valves in native IE seems to be unrelated to perioperative and long-term outcomes.

In this work, the effects of fairly influential factors on performance of vacuum system, such as constant pressure and outgassing effect were simulated to propose the optimum design factors. Outgassing effects of selected vacuum materials on the vacuum characteristics were simulated by the $VacSim^{Multi}$ simulation tool. This investigation examined the feasibility of reliably simulating the outgassing characteristics of common vacuum chamber materials (aluminum, copper, stainless steel, nickel plated steel, Viton A). The optimum design factors for vacuum systems were suggested based on the simulation results. And, the effects of throttle valve applications on vacuum characteristics were also simulated to obtain the optimum design model of variable conductance on high vacuum system. Simulated vacuum characteristics of the proposed modelling were agreed with the observed experimental behaviour of real systems. Pressure limit valve and normally on-off control valve were schematized as the modelling of throttle valve for the constant process-pressure. Simulation results were plotted as pump-down curve of chamber and variable conductance of throttle valve. Simulated behaviors showed the applications of throttle valve sustained the process-pressure constantly, stably, and reliably.

The surging stresses of the valve spring of over head valve 4 cycle engine, which is made is Korea, were computed from theoretical analysis and these values were compared with the experimental results. For calculating surging stresses of test engine valve spring. Kato's equation should be corrected by the corretion factor C which is equal to twice rocker arm level ratio. Good agreement was found to exist between the theoretical analysis and the experimental results within.+-.5 percent differences. The stress amplitudes of test valve spring at each harmonic order were determined by the experiment and by using corrected equation, The safety considerations of test valve spring were discussed.

In this paper, a numerical investigation of three-dimensional, two-phase flow field around a butterfly valve is conducted. The butterfly valves that have different opening angles, $10^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$, and two profiles of the shaft boss are compared with various cavitation numbers and Reynolds numbers. This paper focused on the flow analysis in the original butterfly valve and new design butterfly valve in order to decrease cavitation and loss. It is found that the butterfly valve with a cone-type shaft boss greatly reduces the cavitation and loss, compared to the original shaft boss by 20${\sim}$30%.

This paper presents a new design of the hybrid magnet engine valve actuator using the shorted turn for enhanced dynamic performance. The quick response of coil electric current is the most important factor that determines the opening and closing performance of the hybrid magnet engine valve. The conventional hybrid magnet engine valve actuator, however, has a delayed initial electric current rising when it is driven by voltage control because of the coil inductance which is a typical characteristic of an electromagnetic coil. A shorted turn is newly placed into the upper yoke of the hybrid magnet engine valve actuator to reduce coil inductance and thus, to hasten the initial electric current rising. We performed a dynamic finite element analysis to demonstrate the improvement of the dynamic characteristics of the hybrid magnet engine valve actuator due to the shorted turn.
