Hydrodynamic Drag of Surface combatants pose significant challenges with regard to fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions. Stern flaps have been used widely as an energy saving device, particularly by the US Navy (Hemanth et al. 2018a, Hemanth Kumar and Vijayakumar 2018b). In the present investigation the effect of flap turning angle on drag reduction is numerically and experimentally studied for a high-speed displacement surface combatant fitted with a stern flap in the Froude number range of 0.17-0.48. Parametric investigations are undertaken for constant chord length & span and varying turning angles of 5° 10° & 15°. Experimental resistance values in towing tank tests were validated with CFD. Investigations revealed that pressure increased as the flow velocity decreased with an increase in flap turning angle which was due to the centrifugal action of the flow caused by the induced concave curvature under the flap. There was no significant change in stern wave height but there was a gradual increase in the stern wave steepness with flap angle. Effective length of the vessel increased by lengthening of transom hollow. In low Froude number regime, flow was not influenced by flap curvature effects and pressure recovery was marginal. In the intermediate and high Froude number regimes pressure recovery increased with the flap turning angle and flow velocity.

Ventilation requirement of apartment was mandated according to building equipment standards in 2006. When ventilation unit was considering for indoor air quality maintenance, we needed energy saving and efficiency ventilation control methods. This study carried out experiment of ventilation rate 0.7 adequacy. When we lived in apartment, we assumed that sleeping time was long stayed time in unconsciousness. Experiments carried out ventilation rate 0, 0.1, 0.4 and 0.7 in environment chamber from 22 o'clock to 06 o'clock, the concentration of $CO_2$, temperature and humidity rate measured. Analyzing the results, conclusions are as follows. 1) When we sleep in bedroom, ventilation rate 0.4 meet the requirements of domestic legal standards. Conform fan of similarity law, ventilation rate 0.4 reduced power cost about 80% than 0.7. 2) In generally sleeping time 8 hours, peak point control reduced running time of ventilation unit about 43% than normal control.

Three twisted rudders fit for large container ships have been developed; 1) the Z-twisted rudder that is an asymmetry type taking into consideration incoming flow angles of the propeller slipstream, 2) the ZB-twisted rudder with a rudder bulb added onto the Z-twisted rudder, and 3) the ZB-F twisted rudder with a rudder fin attached to the ZB-twisted rudder. The twisted rudders have been designed computationally with the hydrodynamic characteristics in a self-propulsion condition in mind. The governing equation is the Navier-Stokes equations in an unsteady turbulent flow. The turbulence model applied is the Reynolds stress. The calculation was carried out in towing and self-propulsion conditions. The sliding mesh technique was employed to simulate the flow around the propeller. The speed performances of the ship with the twisted rudders were verified through model tests in a towing tank. The twisted versions showed greater performance driven by increased hull efficiency from less thrust deduction fraction and more effective wake fraction and decreased propeller rotating speed.

This paper presents a stand-alone variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) ship shaft generator system based on a brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM). In this system, the output voltage amplitude and frequency of the BDFM are kept constant under a variable rotor speed and load by utilizing a well-designed current vector controller to regulate the control winding (CW) current. The control scheme is proposed, and the hardware design for the control system is developed. The proposed generator system is tested on a 325 TEU container vessel, and the test results show the good dynamic performance of the CW current vector controller and the whole control system. A harmonic analysis of the output voltage and a fuel consumption analysis of the generator system are also implemented. Finally, the total efficiency of the generator system is presented under different rotor speeds and load conditions.

LED is divided to multichannel in order not to exceed a certain voltage in aspects of electric standard. However, it's not possible to know in accordance with what channel SMPS controls the constant voltage and current. In order to solve this problem, it needs to detect the maximum LED String voltage which is applied to LED control circuit, and it is possible to minimize the voltage drop when a difference of LED string voltage occurs by each channel if LED is controlled by the maximum LED string voltage detected. In addition, it is also possible to maximize the efficiency of LED if change LED voltage by detecting the maximum voltage. Feasibility of this claim was verified through implementation of the circuit.

The control on temperature and humidity on the cow-house is essential to assure production efficiency and the control on disease of cows. Fog system and screen fence are typical methods to drop the temperature inside of cow-house during the summer season. This study focused on the change in temperature and humidity under the condition of application of those methods. The results indicate that the installation of atomizer and insulation curtain cause decrease in temperature and increase in humidity. However, Using both of methods at the same time doesn't make any additional meaningful effects on temperature and humidity.

The present paper purposes a numerical evaluation of the Thai Long-Tail Boat propeller (TLTBP) performance by without and with propeller boss cap fins (PBCF) in full-scale operating straight shaft condition in the first. Next, those are applied to inclined shaft conditions. The actual TLTBP has defined an inclined shaft propeller including the high rotational speed, therefore vortex from the propeller boss and boss cap (hub vortex) have been generated very much. The PBCF designs are considered to weaken of vortex behind the propeller boss which makes the saving energy for the propulsion systems. The blade sections of PBCF developed from the original TLTBP blade shape. The integrative for the TLTBP and the PBCF is analyzed to increase the performance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The computational results of propeller performance are thoroughly compared between without and with PBCF. Moreover, the effects of each PBCF component are computed to influence the TLTBP performance. The fluid flows around the propeller blades, propeller boss, boss cap, and vortex have been investigated in terms of pressure distribution and wake-fields to verify the increasing efficiency of propulsion systems.

As a wide range of industries using iron, such as water and sewerage pipes, gas pipelines, heat pipes, electric engines, communication pipes, and oil pipelines, rapidly become active, there is a demand for reliability and low cost of DC power supplies that can prevent corrosion of pipe networks. In particular, high-efficiency corrosion prevention systems due to changes in the perception of carbon emissions and energy saving are essential elements. Therefore, the construction of a switching-type corrosion current controller is being activated. Also, in such systems, DC/DC converters capable of multi-channel current control are demanded for corrosion prevention functions and uniform consumption of sacrificial anodes. This paper proposes a new current supply system for preventing pipeline corrosion using a low-cost SMPS dedicated chip. The proposed method can maintain excellent parallel operation function, protection function, and response speed by configuring a current controller using a hybrid method using analog and digital. The proposed method verified its superiority through simulations and experiments.

본 연구는 국내 화장로 설비의 주류를 이루는 대차방식 화장로의 성능개선을 목표로 하였다. 주연소실 형상 변화를 통해 용적을 증대시키고, 버너연소제어 최적화를 통한 화장시간 단축 및 에너지 사용량 절감기술을 실증설비 기반으로 연구하였다. 1차적으로 열유동해석을 통해 최적화된 구조설계로 주연소실의 체적을 약 70% 증대시키므로 연소배가스의 체류시간이 증대되는 효과를 얻을 수 있었고, 이를 통해 설계한 파이로트 화장로를 제작하여 다양한 운전조건에서 연소거동을 실험하고 주연소실 형상별 최적의 운전방안을 도출하였다. 이렇게 도출된 결과를 반영하여 실증 화장로를 설계하고, P시 Y화장장에 설치하였다. 실증 화장로 조업을 통해 최적 연소조건을 도출할 수 있었고, 고온의 연소배가스의 체류시간 증대에 따른 에너지 효율의 증대효과로 기존대비 화장시간 및 연료사용량을 최소화할 수 있었다. 즉, 화장시간은 기존 화장로 조업대비 44.1% 단축된 38 min이었고, 연료사용량은 기존 화장로 대비 54.4% 절감된 $21.8Nm^3$이었다.
