The paper is concerned with the analysis of axisymmetric forward extrusion by using the method of weighted residuals. In the method of weighted residuals, the flow function and the stress functions are assumed so as to cover the global control volume. The derived stress and strain components are used to formulate a constitutive equation in the error form, so that the error is minimized to determine the stress and strain components. The method of least squares is then chosen for the minimization of errors. The distribution of stresses and strains and the forming load are determined for the workhardening material considering the frictional effect at the die surface. The computed results are very similar to those obtained by the finite element method. The method is simpler in application and requires less computational time than the finite element method. Experiments are carried out for aluminum and steel specimens using curved dies. It is found that the experimental observation is mostly in agreement with the computed results by the method of weighted residuals.

Application of an electric heater is one of attractive methods for active regeneration in DPF systems, but its application has been limited by the capacity of electric power available in vehicles. This study was focused on intake throttling to reduce electrical energy required in the electrical heated DPF system. As results, this study showed the decrease of $30\~50\%$ of intake air mass flow rate and the increase of $20\~60^{\circ}C$ of exhaust gas temperature by the proper control of intake throttling. These intake throttling effects was helpful for regenerable temperature achievement.

To investigate numerically the removal behavior of carbon dioxide in a hollow fiber membrane contactor, the system controlling equations were developed including the nonlinear reversible reaction terms. The reversible chemical reactions were incorporated in the system controlling equations, resulting in the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations which could describe either the absorption of the desorption of carbon dioxide. The computer program was coded using the Fortran language and run with a personal computer to find out the effects of the system variables: the pressures of absorbed and desorbed gases, the absorbent flow rate, the concentration of potassium carbonate, the fiber diameter and the length.

we proposed the use of $Si_2H_ 6/H_2$ chemistry for selective silicon epitaxy growth by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) in the temperature range $600~710^{\circ}C$ under an ultraclean environment. As a result of ultraclean processing, an incubation period of Si deposition only on $SiO_2$ was found, and low temperature epitaxy selective deposition on Si was achieved without addition of HCI. Total gas flow rate and deposition pressure were 16.6sccm and 3.5mtorr, respectively. In this condition, we selectively obtained high-quality epitaxial Si layers of the 350~1050$\AA$ thickness. In older to extend the selectivity, we kept high pressure $H_2$ environment without $Si_2H_6$ gas for few minutes after first incubation period and then we conformed the existence of second incubation period.

The turbine efficiency is an important factor in power plant, and accurate evaluation of steam turbine performance is the key issue in turbo machinery industry. The difficulty of evaluating the steam turbine performance due to its high steam temperature and pressure environment makes the most steam turbine tests to be replaced by air similarity test. This paper presents how to decide the similarity conditions of the steam turbine test and describes its limitations and assumptions. The test facility was developed and arranged to conduct an air similarity turbine performance test with various inlet pressure, temperature and mass flow rate. The eddy-current type dynamometer measures the turbine-generated shaft power and controls the rotating speed. Pressure ratio of turbine can be controled by back pressure control valve. To verify its test results, uncertainty analysis was performed and relative uncertainty of turbine efficiency was obtained.

The purpose of this study is to achieve energy saving effect of inverter driving multistage centrifugal pump. For determining the operation points in the pump system, the system curves should be obtained experimentally. To get the system curves, three pumps combined in parallel and one pump operated with different rotational speeds. But for variable speed pump system, energy saving rates can not be evaluated from operation efficiencies. That is why operation efficiencies, system curves, duty cycles, and input powers of the pump system were measured by the constructed experimental apparatus. The duty cycle segmented into different flow rates and weighting the average value for each segment by the interval time. The system was operated with two different periods. The mean duty cycles were collected from apartment and found that the system operated at 40% and at 50% or below capacity. Measured energy saving rate was 58.16%. Estimating method of energy saving rate could be more effective operation index than that of operation efficiency.

Medicated water electrolysis apparatus, which electrolyzes water into acidic water and alkaline water, was in the spotlight as becoming known the effect of alkaline water. It is known as good for health as removing active oxygen in the human's body and promoting digestion. But, the customers could not get that desired water temperature because these apparatuses are directly connected with a water pipe. So, the cooling system was developed for controlling the temperature of the alkaline water. One of the typical way is to store water in water tank and control the temperature. But, in this way, storing water can be polluted impurities coming from outside. For protecting this pollution, the cooling system based on indirect heat exchange method through phase change between water and ice was developed. In this study, we have calculated efficiency of the cooling system with phase change by experiment and commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) code, ANSYS CFX. To consider the effect of latent heat that is generated by melting ice, we have simulated two phase numerical analyses used enthalpy method and found the temperature, velocity, and ice mass distribution for calculating the efficiency of cooling. From the results of numerical analysis, we have obtained the relationship between the cooling efficiency and each design factor.

Power system for renewable energy is composed of module, transform DC power into AC power inverter, control power flow and device for a charge of the grid-connected. Power system for renewable energy produce the most DC power, when this system is much insolation in summer and daytime. But if the certain temperature rises above, the essential grid-connected power inverter is take a nose dive. There, in this paper, we propose an improved reduction of heating system. In addition, selection of the most serious heat region and through analysis of temperature characteristics according to location and distance derive the optimal model.

This paper examines the effect of the global financial crisis on corporate investment in Korea. Specifically, the crisis was considered to have possibly constrained firm-level investment as the negative shock to the credit supply dramatically unfolded. As Duchin et al. (2010) demonstrated, if a negative supply-side shock is evident during a crisis period, larger cash holdings before the crisis will lead to fewer constraints to corporate investment, or vice versa. In order to investigate the supply-side effect of the crisis, we use firm-level financial data, including firms listed on the Korean stock market as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. We find that corporate investment declined significantly after the crisis, even if we control for factors associated with the demand side, such as contemporaneous capital productivity and cash flow. More importantly, the decline is positively and significantly related to cash holdings before the crisis, implying the negative effect of a credit supply shock. Small and medium enterprises experienced relatively sharp investment declines compared to those of larger firms, and the relationship between pre-crisis cash amounts and the degree of investment decline is greater than that in large firms. Additionally, we examine whether the negative effect persists up to the present, finding evidence that the cash-investment relationship continues in small and medium-sized enterprises.

This paper proposes the 16-channel LED Driver IC for Full color LED display system. The proposed LED driver IC in this paper can draw current independent of temperature and supply voltage in each channel. Current flow in the channel is configurable via an external resistor. LED brightness is adjusted by 12-Bit PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) and 8-Bit DC(Dot Correction). A real-time monitoring of IC temperature ($130^{\circ}C/150^{\circ}C$) and LED status (open/short) is provided by LED driver IC and the user can receive warning and get information on problems. A 16-channel LED driver IC is produced using 0.35 um BCD process and the size is $2.5mm{\times}2.5mm$. In this paper, channel current characteristic and channel current control function were measured in order to verify am embodied 16-channel LED driver IC by producing a single IC test board.
