Among the heat/mass exchange units composing an absorption system, the absorber, where the refrigerant vapor is absorbed into the liquid solution is the one least understood. In the present study, the effects of non-absorbable gas on the absorption process of aqueous lithium bromide solution falling film inside a vertical tube were experimentally investigated. In the range of film Reynolds number of 30 ~ 195, heat and mass transfer characteristics were investigated as a function of non-absorbable gas volumetric concentration, 0.2 ~ 20%. An increase of non-absorbable gas volumetric concentration degraded the mass transfer rate dramatically in the absorption process. The reduction of mass transfer rate was significant for the addition of small amount of non-absorbable gas to the pure vapor. At film Reynolds number of 130, an increase of non-absorbable gas concentration from 0.2 to 6.0% resulted in the decrease of mass transfer rate by 36% and 20% of non-absorbable gas by 59%. However the decrease of film Nusselt number with the increase of volumetric concentration of non absorbable gas was relatively smaller than the decrease of Sherwood number. Critical film Reynolds number was identified to exist for the maximum heat and mass transfer regardless of the volumetric concentration of non-absorbable gases.

In the present study, a flow analysis for estimating the wave loads acting on a stationary floating body inside a viscous numerical wave tank was performed using the commercial software FLUENT. The governing equations for the viscous and incompressible fluid motion were the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations, and a piston-type wavemaker was employed to reproduce wave environments. First, the optimal simulation conditions were derived through numerical tests for the wavemaker and wave absorber, and then the wave loads and wave run-up on a vertical truncated cylinder were estimated and compared with the experimental and other numerical results.

Typically, the seat of an automotive vehicle generally includes a horizontal seat-cushion portion and a vertical seat-back portion that is operatively connected to the seat-cushion portion. The seat may include a recliner for the reclining of the seat-back portion relative to the seat-cushion portion by the seat occupant. An energy absorber or damper can also be provided for the seat-back portion. Because the recliner is configured to be released at a relatively high speed, and it results in an impact at the end of a folding stroke, the damper needs to dissipate energy as the seat back moves with respect to the seat cushion; therefore, the role of the seat damper in the automotive-seat design is important. In this paper, the mechanism of an hydraulic-type automotive-seat damper is investigated, and the torque characteristic is simulated according to the design-parameter variations such as the orifice area and the working-fluid properties.

In the absorption process of water vapor in a liquid film, the composition of the gas phase, in which a non-absorbable gas is combined with the absorbate influences the transport characteristics remarkably. In the present study, the absorption processes of water vapor into aqueous solution of lithium bromide in the presence of non-absorbable gases were investigated analytically. The continuity, momentum, energy and diffusion equations for the solution film and gas phase were formulated in integral forms and solved numerically. It was found that the mass transfer resistance in gas phase increased with the concentration of non-absorbable gas. However the primary resistance to mass transfer was in the liquid phase. As the concentration of non-absorbable gas in the absorbate increased, the liquid-vapor interfacial temperature and concentration of absorbate in solution decreased, which resulted in the reduction of absorption rate. The reduction of mass transfer rate was found to be significant for the addition of a small amount of non-absorbable gas to the pure vapor, especially at the outlet of an absorber where non-absorbable gases accumulated. At higher non-absorbable gas concentration, the decrease of absorption flux was almost linear to the volumetric concentration of non-absorbable gas.

본 연구에서는 수평관과 수직관의 단면이 다른 액체기둥흡진기(LCVA)의 제진효과를 극대화하기 위한 최적형상을 수치 해석에 의한 변수연구를 통해 찾았다. 특정 진동수에 동조되고, 동일한 총질량을 가지면서 치수 및 수위와 관련된 구속조건을 만족하는 다양한 형상의 LCVA를 설계하고, 이 가운데 가장 큰 등가감쇠비를 획득하는 형상을 찾았다. 그 결과 LCVA 형상의 설계에서 수위변동폭이 최적형상을 결정하는 중요한 구속조건 역할을 한다는 것을 확인하였다. 유체가 운동하는 평면과 직교하는 방향의 LCVA 수평폭을 증가시킬수록 등가감쇠비가 증가하였으며, 증가율은 점차 둔화되는 것으로 나타나 적정 수평폭의 결정이 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 고유진동수 조절이 가능한 새로운 형태의 액체댐퍼를 개발하였다. 동조댐퍼는 구조물의 설계단계에서 응답평가를 통해 필요성이 요구된다. 건물은 설계단계에서 고유진동수와 시공 후 고유진동수가 상이하다. 액체댐퍼의 형태는 설계단계에서 건물의 고유진동수를 동조시킬 수 있도록 설계되기 때문에 고유진동수가 고정이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제안한 댐퍼의 전체적인 형태는 기존의 Liquid Column Vibration Absorber(LCVA)와 같다. 기존의 LCVA는 시공 후 건물의 고유진동수에 동조시키기 위해 물높이를 조절하나 층고 때문에 제한이 있다. 우리가 제안한 새로운 형태의 액체댐퍼는 물높이 조절 뿐 아니라 수직관의 면적을 조절하여 고유진동수를 조절 할 수 있도록 개발하였다. LCVA의 수직관을 일정한 면적의 독립된 셀로 나누었으며 이 셀을 각각 밀폐시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 밀폐된 셀 안으로는 공기압력에 의해 물이 차지 않고 차 있는 물도 움직이지 않게 된다. 밀폐된 셀의 개수를 조정하여 수직관의 면적이 조절하여 고유진동수를 변화시킬 수 있다. 제작된 액체댐퍼의 밀폐된 셀 개수를 조절하여 진동대 실험을 통해 댐퍼의 고유진동수를 파악하였다. 실험으로 나온 고유진동수와 이론적으로 산정한 고유진동수를 비교하여 댐퍼의 사용성을 평가하였다. 개발된 액체 댐퍼의 수직관의 면적 조절을 통해 고유진동수 조절이 용이하여 실제로 사용이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A semi-active suspension is an automotive technology that controls the vertical movement of the vehicle while the car is driving. The system therefore virtually eliminates body roll and pitch variation in many driving situations including cornering, accelerating, and braking. This technology allows car manufacturers to achieve a higher degree of both ride quality and car handling by keeping the tires perpendicular to the road in corners, allowing for much higher levels of grip and control. An onboard computer detects body movement from sensors located throughout the vehicle and, using data calculated by opportune control techniques, controls the action of the suspension. Semi-active systems can change the viscous damping coefficient of the shock absorber, and do not add energy to the suspension system. Though limited in their intervention (for example, the control force can never have different direction than that of the current speed of the suspension), semi-active suspensions are less expensive to design and consume far less energy. In recent time, the research in semi-active suspensions has continued to advance with respect to their capabilities, narrowing the gap between semi-active and fully active suspension systems. In this paper we are studied the characteristics of vehicle movement during the field test with conventional and semi-active suspension system.

In this study, we peformed optimal design of a composite skid landing gear, one of the solid spring shock absorbers, for light vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. Although a solid spring type has poor energy dissipation capability, it is commonly used for light aircraft where sink speeds are low and shock absorption is non-critical in terms of simplicity, low cost and weight reduction. In this paper, design parameters of solid spring such as sink speed, gear leg length, deflection and landing load factor were reviewed. In order to meet structural requirements such as deflection and strength, finally, we conducted optimal design of the composite skid landing gear for VTOL UAV using genetic algorithm and pattern search algorithm.

In the present study, the finite volume method is applied for the thermal performance prediction of the natural ventilation system using vertical solar chimney whereas, design parameters are optimized through the response surface methodology (RSM). The computational simulations are performed for various parameters of the solar chimney such as absorber temperature (40≤T_abs≤70℃), inlet temperature (20≤T₀≤30℃), inlet height of (0.1≤h≤0.2 m) and chimney width (0.1≤d≤0.2 m). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to identify the design parameters that influence the average Nusselt number (Nu) and mass flow rate (ṁ). Then, quadratic polynomial regression models were developed to predict of all the response parameters. Consequently, numerical and graphical optimizations were performed to achieve multi-objective optimization for the desired criteria. According to the desirability function approach, it can be seen that the optimum objective functions are Nu=25.67 and ṁ=24.68 kg/h·m, corresponding to design parameters h=0.18 m, d=0.2 m, T_abs=46.81℃ and T₀=20℃. The optimal ventilation flow rate is enhanced by about 96.65% compared to the minimum ventilation rate, while solar energy consumption is reduced by 49.54% compared to the maximum ventilation rate.
