The far ultraviolet (FUV) wavelength (900-1750A) range includes a wealth of important astrophysical information related to the cooling of hot gas, fluorescent emission from H2 molecules, and starlight scattered off dust particles. Among these, we would like to focus on the scattered emission of the central star by dust with the example of the FUV halo surrounding ${\alpha}$ Vir (Spica). While scattering properties of dust have been studied with the GALEX data, the improved dataset of STSAT-1 revealed many detailed structures of this interesting region. For example, the FUV continuum map obtained from the STSAT-1 observations shows enhanced emission in the southern part of the Spica halo region, where the dust level is also high. In fact, the FUV continuum intensity is seen to have a good correlation with the IRAS 100${\mu}m$ emission data. It is also seen that the scattered spectrum is softer than the original one emitted by the central star, which is attributed to the increase in the dust-scattering albedo with wavelength. We have developed a Monte Carlo code that simulates dust scattering of light including multiple encounters. The code is applied to the present Spica halo region to obtain the scattering properties such as the albedo and the phase function asymmetry factor.

Butterfly valves have been used for shut-off and throttling-control application in many industrial fields. Recently, they are frequently used for cooling water, oil system and ballast piping system of many larger vessels. They are especially suited for flow throttling control of heat exchangers in engine room. Measurement by the PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) was conducted to investigate the flow characteristics of butterfly valve inserted within circular pipe. Flow behaviors such as instantaneous and time-mean velocity vectors are investigated. Furthermore, to reveal systematic performance of the butterfly valve, wall pressure was measured at 6 points along the pipe by digital manometer. As the valve position moves to the closed side, flow separation increases and persists its tendency downstream until smoothly uniform flow developed. The pressure loss is found to be about zero for the disk open angles less than 45 degrees, but is substantially increased for those larger than 60 degrees.

Today's microprocessor designs are not free from temperature as well as power consumption. As processor technology scales down, an on-chip circuitry increases power density, which incurs excessive temperature (hotspot) problem. To tackle thermal problems cost-effectively, Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) has been suggested: DTM techniques have benefits of thermal reliability and cooling cost. However, they require trade-off between thermal control and performance loss. This paper proposes a dual integer register file structure to minimize the performance degradation due to DTM invocations. In on-chip thermal control, the most important functional unit is an integer register file. It is the hotspot unit because of frequent read and write data accesses. The proposed dual integer register file migrates read data accesses by adding an extra register file, thus reduces per-unit dynamic power dissipation. As a result, the proposed structure completely eliminates localized hotspots in the integer register file, resulting in much less performance degradation by average 13.35% (maximum 18%) improvement compared to the conventional DTM architecture.

The configurations of the evaporator and condenser of a water chiller can be determined from the trade-off between the heat transfer area, which is related to the capital cost and the pressure drop, which is associated with the operational cost. In this study, the design of the water chiller focused on minimizing the water pressure drop of both condenser and evaporator for given cooling capacity and requirements. Commercial enhanced tubes were employed to simulate real-life conditions. The results of the present analysis were compared with those obtained by HTRI software for verifying them. The results indicated that a reduction in the water pressure drop, which is associated with the short length of a tube, can be effected by decreasing the number of tube passes and increasing the number of tubes and the tube diameter. However, using a large number of tubes with smaller diameters can reduce the capital cost because the tubes are short. The reduction of the capital cost is due to the fact that a small-diameter tube has low internal thermal resistance and hence contributes to a decrease in the overall thermal resistance per unit length.

Importance of alternative energy has been increasing due to environmental issues and lack of fossil fuels. In addition, heating cost that occupies from 30 to $40\%$ of the total production cost in the protected cultivation sector in Korea needs to be reduced for profitability and global competition. But, study on geothermal energy to solve these problems has not been activated for Korean protected cultivation. This study was conducted to develop an optimized geothermal exchange system through fundamental test of heat transfer characteristics in soil such as thermal diffusivity, changes in soil temperature during heating and cooling operations, and restorations of soil temperature after the heater was fumed off, These issues were investigated using computer simulation for different depths. The simulated characteristics were evaluated through controlled tests. Simulated characteristics of heat transfer in the soil at different depths showed a reasonable agreement with the results of the controlled tests. All of computer simulation and controlled tests, soil temperatures changed at 10cm and 20cm distance from pipe. but don't change at more than 30cm distance. It means that distances of heat transfer of the soil ranged from 20 to 30cm a day. Based on these results, the optimum spacing between adjacent heat exchange pipes and the pitch were selected as 50 and 40cm, respectively.

PDP, FED, 그리고 VFD와 같은 마이크로 전자디스플레이 장치를 제작하기 위한 가장 중요한 기술중에 하나인 패널 내를 고진공으로 만드는 것과 초기의 진공을 유지하는 것이다. PDP 디스플레이는 전면판과 후면판으로 구성되어 있다. 전면판은 ITO전극, 절연체 그리고 MgO보호막으로 구성되어 있으며, 후면판은 어드레스 전극, 반사층, 격벽, 그리고 형광체층이 있다. 기존의 방식은 대기에서 프릿 글라스를 이용하여 두 장의 유리를 봉입하고, 후면판 모서리 부분에 있는 구멍에 배기 글라스 튜브를 붙이고, 튜브를 통해서 배기하고, 플라즈마 가스를 채우고, 최종적으로 tip-off를 한다. 이러한 기존의 방식을 통해서는 배기 컨덕턴스의 한계로 얻을 수 있는 초기 진공도에 한계가 있다. 아울러 두 장의 유리사이는 150$\mu$m 정도의 간격으로 되어 있고, 이웃한 격벽사이는 320$\mu$m 정도의 미세한 공간이 주어지는 구조가 컨덕턴스를 저하시킨다. 이와 같은 초기 진공도의 한계성을 극복하기 위한 연구로서, PDP 패널을 구성하는 두 장의 글라스를 진공 챔버내에서 IR heater를 이용하여 실장하였다. 대개 PbO, ZnO, SiO2,, 그리고 B？로 구성된 프릿 글라스를 대기에서 전면판에 dispensing하고 가소한다. 그리고 프릿 글라스가 형성된 전면판과 후면판을 loading, align 한 다음, 2 10-7torr까지 펌핑한 후 heating, holding 그리고 cooling 공정을 수행하므로 써 두 장의 유리를 실장하였다. 그러나 온도의 non-uniformity, 프릿 성분에 따라서 crack과 기포문제가 진공 실장과정에서 발생하였다. 이와 같은 문제를 개선하기 위해 프릿 글라스의 새로운 조성과 온도 uniformity를 유지하므로써, 프릿 글라스의 기포와 crack 발생없이 재현성 있게 진공 실장하였다. Leak channel 형성유무를 검증하기 위하여 챔버 자체의 펌핑 속도와 제작된 패널의 펌핑 속도를 비교하므로써, leak channel형성 유무를 평가할 수 있는 방법을 이용하였다. 이와 같은 방법을 이용하여, crack 또는 기포가 있는 패널은 leak channel을 형성하여 패널내의 진공을 유지할 수 없음을 검증하였고, crack 또는 기포가 없는 패널은 leak channel없이 패널내의 진공을 유지할 수 있음을 검증하였다. 결과적으로 진공 인-라인 실장시 가장 중요한 요인인 프릿의 변화를 분석하므로써, 고진공을 요구하는 FPD(PDP, FED, VFD)에 적합하게 적용할 수 있으며, 아울러 실장시 진공도를 개선하므로 패널내부의 오염을 최소화하여 디스필레이로서의 효율을 극대화할 수 있을 것이다.

Long endurance is a key issue in the application of unmanned aerial vehicles. This study presents feasibility test results when fuel cell system as an alternative to the conventional engine is applied for the power of the UAV after the 150W fuel cell system is developed and packaged to the 1/4 scale super cub airplane. Fuel cell system is operated by dead-end method in the anode part and periodically purged to remove the water droplet in flow field during the operation. Oxygen in the air is supplied to the stack by the two air blowers. And fuel cell stack is water cooled by cooling circuit to dissipate the heat generated during the fuel cell operation. Weight balance is considered to integrate the stack and balance of plant (BOP) in package layout. In flight performance test, we demonstrated 4 times standalone take-off and landing. In the laboratory test simulating the flight condition to quantify the energy flow, the system is analyzed in detail. Sankey diagram shows that electric efficiency of the fuel cell system is 39.2%, heat loss 50.1%, parasitic loss 8.96%, and unreacted purged gas 1.67%, respectively compared to the total hydrogen input energy. Feasibility test results show that fuel cell system is high efficient and appropriate for the power of UAV.

This research focuses on simulation and visualization of flow field characteristics inside a centrifugal pump. The 3D numerical analysis was carried out by using a numerical CFD tool, addressing a Reynolds Average Navier-Stock code with a standard k-${\varepsilon}$ two-equation turbulence model. The simulation accounts for friction head loss due to rough walls at suction, impeller, discharge areas and volumetric head loss at impeller wear ring. A comparison of performance curves between simulation and experimentation is included, and it reveals a same trend of those results with a small difference of maximum 5 %. At best efficiency point, velocity vectors are smooth but it changes significantly under off-design point, a strong recirculation appears at the outlet of impeller passages near tongue area. A relatively uniform preassure distribution was observed around the impeller in despite of the tongue. Within the volute, because of its geometry, spiral vortexes formed, proving that the flow field in this region was relatively turbulent and unsteady.

The far-ultraviolet (FUV) continuum and spectral images of C IV and H2 emission lines for the region of Orion-Eridanus Superbubble (OES) are hereby presented and compared with the maps obtained in other wavelengths. While the region shows complex structures, consisting of hot gases and cold dust, a close examination reveals that the FUV emission in this region can be understood reasonably as the result of their interactions. We confirm the origin of most diffuse FUV continuum to be starlight scattered by dust, but we also find that the ionized gas also contributes 50-70% of the total FUV intensity in the regions of H_alpha arcs. We note the bright diffuse FUV continuum in the eastern part of the northern dust-rich region, and attribute it to the bright early-type stars more abundant in this region than in the west as the amount of dust itself does not seem to be much different across 'arc A' that separates the two regions. In addition, two P Cygni-type stars are identified in this eastern region and their peculiar spectral profiles around the C IV emission line are anifested in the scattered diffuse spectrum. Besides this, the C IV emission is generally enhanced at the boundaries of the hot X-ray cavities where thin dust regions are located, confirming the thermal interface nature of the origin of this cooling emission line. The morphology of the H2 emission shows a general correlation with dust extinction features but its intensity peaks are rather located in thin dust areas, off the peak dust regions. Furthermore, H2 emission is seen to be weak in the arc A region though the arc passes through the center of the dust-rich area. Hence, the H2 emission and dust features, together with those of X-ray and ion lines emissions, show stratified structure of arc A quite well, again confirming its thermal interface nature.
