For a prototype turbine operating under part load conditions, the turbine output is fluctuating strongly, leading to the power station incapable of connecting to the grid. The field test of the prototype turbine shows that the main reason is the resonance between the draft tube vortex frequency and the generator natural vibration frequency. In order to reduce the fluctuation of power output, different measures including the air admission, water admission and adding flow deflectors in the draft tube are put forward. CFD method is adopted to simulate the three-dimensional unsteady flow in the Francis turbine, to calculate pressure fluctuations in draft tube under three schemes and to compare with the field test result of the prototype turbine. Calculation results show that all the three measures can reduce the pressure pulsation amplitude in the draft tube. The method of water supply and adding flow deflector both can effectively change the frequency and avoid resonance, thus solving the output fluctuation problem. However, the method of air admission could not change the pressure fluctuation frequency.

A suspended membrane micro fluidic heat flux sensor that is able to measure the heat flow rate was designed and fabricated by a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible process. The combination of a thirty-junction gold and nickel thermoelectric sensor with an ultralow noise preamplifier, low pass filter, and lock-in amp has enabled the resolution of 50 nW power and provides the sensitivity of $11.4\;mV/{\mu}W$. The heater modulation method was used to eliminate low frequency noises from sensor output. It is measured with various heat flux fluid of DI-water to test as micro fluidic application. In order to estimate the heat generation of samples from the output measurement of a micro fluidic heat-flux sensor, a methodology for modeling and simulating electro-thermal behavior in the micro fluidic heat-flux sensor with integrated electronic circuit is presented and validated. The electro-thermal model was constructed by using system dynamics, particularly the bond graph. The electro-thermal system model in which the thermal and the electrical domain are coupled expresses the heat generation of samples converts thermal input to electrical output. The proposed electro-thermal system model shows good agreement with measured output voltage response in transient state and steady-state.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) are commonly used techniques to evaluate the flow characteristics in the development stage of blood pumps. CFD technique allows rapid change to pump parameters to optimize the pump performance without having to construct a costly prototype model. These techniques are used in the construction of a bi-ventricular assist device (BVAD) which combines the functions of LVAD and RVAD in a compact unit. The BVAD construction consists of two separate chambers with similar impellers, volutes, inlet and output sections. To achieve the required flow characteristics of an average flow rate of 5 l/min and different pressure heads (left - 100mmHg and right - 20mmHg), the impellers were set at different rotating speeds. From the CFD results, a six-blade impeller design was adopted for the development of the BVAD. It was also observed that the fluid can flow smoothly through the pump with minimum shear stress and area of stagnation which are related to haemolysis and thrombosis. Based on the compatible Reynolds number the flow through the model was calculated for the left and the right pumps. As it was not possible to have both the left and right chambers in the experimental model, the left and right pumps were tested separately.

목 적 : 극소저출생체중아에서 생후 초기에 유지량 이하의 제한적 수액 투여가 선호되고 있으나 이런 제한적 수액 투여로 기관지폐이형성증이나 동맥관개존증의 발생이 감소되는지 확실하지 않다. 극소저출생체중아에서 생후 첫 주에 유지량 이하 수액의 투여량에 따라 동맥관개존증이나 기관지폐이형성증의 발생 위험에 차이가 있는지 확인해보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 세브란스병원에서 출생하여 신생아 집중 치료실에 입원한 출생 체중 1500 g 미만의 극소저출생체중아 중 28일 이상 생존한 적정 체중아 83명을 대상으로 하였다. 본 신생아 집중 치료실에서는 유지 수액량을 불감성 수분 손실과 예견되는 소변량을 이용하여 계산하여 투여하였고 인공 호흡기 치료의 경우에는 계산된 유지 수액량의 70-80%로 제한하였다. 생후 1, 3, 7일간의 수액량을 일일 체중 당 수액량(mL/kg/day) 으로 환산하여 각 기간에서 25 백분위수 미만을 저수액군, 25백분위수 이상 75백분위수 이하를 중수액군, 75백분위수를 초과한 경우를 고수액군으로 분류하였다. 각 기간별 수액군 간의 기관지폐이형성증과 동맥관개존증의 빈도와 임상적 및 인구학적 인자를 비교하였다. 결 과 : 전체 대상 환아의 재태 주령은 $28.6{\pm}1.7(24^{+6}-32^{+6})$주, 출생 체중은 $1124{\pm}225(600-1490)g$, 남아가 44례(53.0%), 여아가 39례(47.0%), 다태 임신은 19례(22.9%), 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군은 72례(86.7%), 인공호흡기 사용기간은 $15.3{\pm}13.6$일, 인공호흡기를 3일 이상 사용한 경우는 75례(90.4%)이었다. 기관지폐이형성증은 15례(18.1%)에서, 동맥관개존증은 17례(20.5%)에서 진단되었다. 각 기간별 수액군간에 기관지폐이형성증이나 동맥관개존증의 발생에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 기관지폐이형성증 발생은 단변량 분석에서 유의한 관계를 보인 출생 체중, 인공 호흡기 사용 기간, 동맥관개존증 등의 영향을 보정하여도 각 기간별 수액군간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 동맥관개존증 발생은 단변량 분석에서 유의한 관계를 보인 재태 주령, 출생 체중, 인공 호흡기 사용 기간 등의 영향을 보정하여도 각 기간별 수액군간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : 생후 첫 주에 소변량과 불감성 수분 손실을 기준으로하여 수액 투여를 하는 경우 수액 투여량의 많고 적음이 기관지폐이형성증이나 동맥관개존증의 발생에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 결과에 따르면 극소저출생체중아에서 유지 수액량의 결정시에 체중 변화 및 소변량을 기준한 방법은 수액 투여의 기준으로 사용하기에 적합하다고 사료된다.

Effects of coolant pre-cooling and fuel pre-heating on the performance of a combined cycle using a F-class gas turbine were investigated. Coolant pre-cooling results in an increase of power output but a decrease in efficiency. Performance variation due to the fuel pre-heating depends on the location of the heat source for the pre-heating in the bottoming cycle (heat recovery steam generator). It was demonstrated that a careful selection of the heat source location would enhance efficiency with a minimal power penalty. The effect of combining the coolant pre-cooling and fuel pre-heating was also investigated. It was found that a favorable combination would yield power augmentation, while efficiency remains close to the reference value.

Variable Geometry System (VGS) is widely applied to the nozzle vane for the radial inflow turbine constituting automotive turbochargers for the purpose of optimizing the power output at each operating condition. In order to improve the performance of radial turbines with VGS, it is necessary to clarify the influences of the setting angle of nozzle vane on the internal flow of radial turbine. However, the experimental measurements are considered to be difficult for the flow in radial turbines because of the small size and the high rotational speed. In the present study, the numerical calculations were carried out for the flow in the radial turbine at three operating conditions by applying the corresponding nozzle vane exit angles, which were set up in the experimental study, as the inlet boundary condition. The numerical results revealed the characteristic flow behaviors at each operating condition.

Process gases with vapor or liquid phase as well as gas phase may experience alteration in itself or be contaminated in the fluid pipe to the process chamber. And thus it result in as particles or defects on the substrates in semiconductor, LCD, LED manufacturing. Purifiers and filters are used for control of contamination. However, none of detection device is available in the delivery line. In this paper, we propose simple device with lighting and sensing in order to predict contamination of the fluid or the tube wall. For some general purpose gases, it showed constant voltage output regardless of the flow rates. But, the smoke and the moisture in the air lowered the figure due to its concentration. Numerical values for several solid and liquid media were obtained. And, the operating temperature tendency was investigated.

Waste heat recovery process designs and performance analyses are conducted on the IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) power plants integrated with two different coal gasification and gas cleanup processes by Shell and GE/Texaco. Through the analysis results, the present study provides the steam integration concept between the HRSG and the chemical processes of IGCC power plant, and investigates the effect of steam integration on the power generation of IGCC power plant. The present simulation results show less steam power output and higher overall IGCC efficiency of the Shell-based power plant than the GE/Texaco.

This study is aimed to construct a marine small hydro power plant using discharge water of fish farm in Jeju Haengwon-ri. The difference of design methods between marine small hydro power plant and land small hydro power plant is to consider the tides. Moreover, ground condition should be examined because gushout sea water comes out from the ground at high tide in Jeju as the ground of Jeju beach consists of basalt stone. From the field test of the turbine generator after construction of the power plant, output power and efficiency of the turbine generator shows good conformance to the required conditions.
