2-dimensional impeller's distinctive feature is expected to have an influence on performance and flow characteristics of centrifugal compressor. And new design method is required for 2-dimensional impeller, because the unique geometry cannot be designed using conventional theories. The objective of this study is to advance new design technology for 2-dimensional impeller and to investigate the performance characteristics of designed 2-dimensional centrifugal compressor. The performance test for 2-dimensional impeller is conducted at 35000, 40000 and 45000rpm. Also numerical calculation is applied by using commercial CFD code, FLUENT, and the results are compared with experimental results.

Window system is an essential component for ventilation, lighting, and thermal environment in buildings. However, window system has the lowest insulation performance and may cause high energy consumptions, if it is not properly designed. Thus, performance of window systems play an important role in built environment. This study proposes a new window systems for balcony, which has double vents and analyses the thermal performance using an intergrated simulation method with Therm 6.1 and Widow 6.1. The result shows higher U-factor than conventional window systems. It is expected that the double vent window system can increase thermal performance and save energy in apartment houses.

At present, European railways in U.K., Sweden, and Belgium have taken serious efforts to improve railway services by implementing a service evaluation system. Not only do they measure the service-related performance of a railway system, but also operate an incentive system according to the results of service-related performance. This performance evaluation system can be also used to provide basic data for other policies such as fares, subsidies and track user charges etc. After the restructuring process of Korean national railways, therefore, although it is expected to face many difficulties in the future, it is desirable to implement a performance evaluation system for securing the long-term growth of Korean railway industry.

In order to improve the safety performance oi construction projects, effective and corporative safety management program between head office and job site must be implemented. And its performance must be measured and analyzed for the identification of the problems in the safety management area. This study proposes a previous evaluation model of safety performance for the large construction firm in order to enhance their safety level. The fundamental data for proposed model is based on the past research(Son 2002), which is structured of evaluation criteria. weighted factor. statistical evaluation formula. The model would help the firm management in identifying the weak areas of safety performance in terms of the degree performing certain safety tasks. It is expected that the model could contribute to achieving the "zero accident" level.ot; level.

This paper is proposed genetic algorithm tuning(GAT) control)or for high performance of induction motor drive. We employed GA to the classical PI controller. The approach having ability for global optimization and with good robustness, is expected to overcome some weakness of conventional approaches and to be more acceptable for industrial practices. The control performance of the GAT PI controller is evaluated by analysis for various operating conditions. The results of experiment prove that the proposed control system has strong high performance and robustness to parameter variation, and steady-state accuracy and transient response.

In this study, the failure analysis of a decanter is carried out and the methods of performance improvement are presented. The decanter is a centrifugal separator that is used to separate water and solids from municipal and industrial sludge. Therefore, the decanter should be designed to improve the dewatering of sludge. Besides high performance, the decanter should guarantee its life time under a severe using condition. For theses reasons, the failure analysis and performance improvement of the decanter are studied. It is found from this study that the failure is caused by mass unbalance, wear, clogging or crack. If these failure causes are prevented, the life time as well as the performance is expected to be improved.

Due to economic turbulence and fierce competition in the IT service industry, companies have been seeking breakthrough of offerings by investing in research and development (R&D). This paper aims to examine the impact of R&D expenditure size on financial performance focusing on Korean IT service companies. The expected growth rate of revenue and net profit in the upcoming two years were analyzed based on three groups according to different R&D expenditure rates using collected data from 100 of IT service companies. Unlike our presumptions, our finding presents a non-significant relationship between the R&D expenditure size and companies' financial performance. An interesting result among others is that all companies invested in R&D strongly believe there will be an increase of their financial performance in the future.

The rocket technology has the best reliability and the high acceleration performance currently. In addition, next generation propulsion system is acquired to low cost and high payload percentage at that same time. This work is to improve the performance of Diskshaped MHD accelerator which is expected as the one of the solution. In this study we have been focusing on the swirl vane. It is so important to know that how the swirl vane contribute the plasma and its performance. As results, the gas velocities of r-component with inlet swirl were increased about over 3000m/s at the channel exit. And then static gas pressure were also reduced, we found that the case with inlet swirl gives the good influence to the acceleration performance. And the difference of the acceleration by positive and negative inlet swirl is that gas velocity of $\theta$-component may operate to the electric field.

In this paper, the positioning performance index is proposed. The proposed index is used to find satellites that degrade positioning performance to improve the positioning performance. To do this, the proposed index is calculated using the code measurement quality and the DOP. And, through the experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed index is confirmed. In the experiment, the quality of the code measurements is analyzed, and the effectiveness of the proposed index is confirmed by comparing with the result of the precise float solution. Finally, it is shown that the precise float solution performance is improved by using the proposed index.

In this paper, an experimental study was conducted on the performance of the cooling tower. In order to improve reliability in the cooling tower performance test, the measurement uncertainty of the instrument was estimated. Measurement uncertainty refers to the uncertainty of a measurement, estimates the range in which the expected value of the measurement can be within a certain confidence level, and suggests a range in which the measured representative value is incorrect. Therefore, the measurement result of the performance experiment is not an actual value, but a reasonable estimated value. The measurement uncertainty for the test was calculated and the measured results were presented.
