This paper deals with an applicaton of some adaptive algorithms to a heat exchanger using a microcomputer and reviews the experimental results obtained. The heat exchanger prepared for experments was identified as a non-minimum phase system and its exact mathematical models was hardly obtainable with direct computation. Thus, classical strategies, such as PID, needed many trial and errors to determine parameters of the controllers. Furthermore such strategies could not guarantee good performance when system parameters vary. To overcome these difficulties and improve performance, two adaptive methods applicable to a non-minimum phase system were chosen and put to the test. In this paper the performance of adaptive controllers is compared with that of conventional PID controller. The final objective of this paper is to construct a controller readily applicable to industrial processes using a microprocessor.

In this paper, it is shown that an input-output (I/O) feedback linearized controller can be designed rationally by utilizing the time-scale properties of heave and pitch for an underwater vehicle. It is assumed that the dynamics of the vehicle is restricted to the vertical plane. An output-feedback control is designed, which stabilizes steady cruising paths. It is shown that the vehicle dynamics with acceleration as output becomes minimum phase. The dynamics can be transformed into a reduced system through a kind of partial linearization and singular perturbation technique. The reduced system is not only minimum phase but also exactly I/O linearizable via feedback. The I/O dynamic characteristics of the heave and pitch modes can be made linear and decoupled. Furthermore it becomes independent of cruising condition such as vehicle velocity. This study may help for designing autopilot systems for underwater vehicles.

Tensile deformation behavior with different strain rate was investigated. $Zr_{56.2}Ti_{13.8}Nb_{5.0}Cu_{6.9}Ni_{5.6}Be_{12.5}$(bulk metallic glass alloy possessed crystal phase which was called $\beta$-phase of dendrite shape, mean size of $20{\sim}30{\mu}m$ and occupied 25% of the total volume) was used in this study. Maximum tensile strength was obtained as 1.74GPa at strain rate $10^2s^{-1}$ and minimum strength was found to be 1.6GPa at $10^{-1}s^{-1}$. And then, maximum plastic deformation occurred at the strain rate of $5{\times}10^{-2}s^{-1}$ and represented 1.75%, though minimum plastic deformation showed 0%. In the specific range of strain rate, relatively higher plastic deformation and lower ultimate tensile strength were found with lots of shear bands. The fractographical observation after tensile test indicated that vein like pattern on the fracture surface was well developed especially in the above range of strain rate.

And then, maximum plastic deformation occurred at the strain rate of $5{\times}10^{-2}/s$ and represented 1.75%, though minimum plastic deformation showed 0%. In the specific range of strain rate, relatively higher plastic deformation and lower ultimate tensile strength were found with lots of shear bands.

The generated torque of a switched reluctance(SR) motor is highly nonlinear, which makes it difficult to determine the reference current commands for minimum torque ripples. In this paper, we present a computationally simple and efficient method to minimize torque ripples of SR motors based on iterative learning control. The reference current command of each phase minimizing torque ripples is identified in 2-dimensional look-up table form. Our learning control algorithm does not require the torque model, so our method is not affected by model errors and hence is very accurate. In order to justify our work, we present some computer simulation results.

Localization with array sensors has been applied for not only military but also non-military purposes. The identification of submarines and fish finding are those examples. Nowadays the demand for noise identification is increasing to characterize noise sources and improve acoustic performance of underwater acoustic equipment. For that reason KRISO/KORDI recently constructed an anechoic basin which bus reflection only at the free surface. This paper suggests a noise identification methods using MUSIC algorithm in such an acoustic field. For comparison phase delay sum and minimum valiance methods are also described. At first basic principles are described. A several numerical simulations are also performed. The results say that reflection effect many cause a new non-real source although good estimation is obtained under no reflection conditions.

This paper proposed a minmum time control method by a parabolic switching function to high speed position control, with high accuracy, of a Linear OC Motor A proposed method is organized simply and a bang-bang control's signal switched on a parabola type switching function in the phase for a minimum time control realization. However, a sliding mode occurs owing to system's modelling errors, so the minimum time control is realized a once switching bang-bang control by repeating trial experiments. Next time, in a neighborhood of the origin in the phase plane, a Linear OC Motor is stopped at the origin by the linear feedback control.

Induction generator is the most common generator in wind energy systems because of its simplicity, ruggedness, little maintenance, price and etc. But the main drawbacks in induction generator is its need of reactive power means to build up the terminal voltage. This drawback is not an obstacle today where PWM inverters can accurately supplies the induction generator with its need from reactive power. For a insurance of three-phase induction generator requires capacitive reactance of the terminal. Most of previous work uses numerical iterative method to determine this minimum capacitor. But the numerical iteration takes long time and divergence may be occurs. In this paper is presented the design methods of the minimum self-excited capacitor required for induction generator operation. And a new formula from the equivalent circuit for stable generation operation of self-excited induction generator calculates the proper capacity to obtain the terminal voltage of the load stage. The validity of proposed design methods is confirmed by experimental and computed results.

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent channel flows up to $Re_{\tau}=1270$ are performed to investigate an elliptic feature and strain rate field on cross sections of coherent fine scale eddies (CFSEs) in wall turbulence. From DNS results, the CFSEs are educed and the strain rate field around the eddy is analyzed statistically. The principal strain rates (i.e. eigenvalues of the strain rate tensor) at the CFSE centers are scaled by the Kolmogorov length $\eta$ and velocity $U_k$. The most expected maximum (stretching) and minimum (compressing) eigenvalues at the CFSE centers are independent of the Reynolds number in each $y^+$ region (i. e. near-wall, logarithmic and wake regions). The elliptic feature of the CFSE is observed in the distribution of phase-averaged azimuthal velocity on a plane perpendicular to the rotating axis of the CFSE $(\omega_c)$. Except near the wall, phase-averaged maximum $(\gamma^{\ast}/\gamma_c^{\ast})$ and minimum $(\alpha^{\ast}/\alpha_c^{\ast})$ an eigenvalues show maxima on the major axis around the CFSE and minima on the minor axis near the CFSE center. This results in high energy dissipation rate around the CFSE.

There are so many methods to estimate the groundwater recharge. These methods can be categorized into four groups. First groupis related to the water balance analysis, second group is concerned with baseflow/springflow recession, and third group is interested in some types of tracers; environmental tracers and/or temperature profile. The limitation of these types of methods is that the estimated results of recharge are presented in the form of an average over some time period. Forth group has a little different approach. They use the time series data of hydraulic head and specific yield evaluated from field test, and the results of estimation are described in the sequential form. But their approach has a serious problem. The estimated results in forth typeof methods are generally underestimated because they cannot consider the discharge phase of water table fluctuation coupled with the recharge phase. Ketchum el. at. (2000) proposed calibrated method, considering recharge- and discharge-coupled water table fluctuation. But the dischargeis considered just as the areal average with discharge rate. On the other hand, there are many methods to estimate the source wavelet with observed data set in geophysics/signal processing and geophysical methods are rarely applied to the estimation of groundwater recharge. The purpose this study is the evaluation of the applicability of one of the geophysical method in the estimation of sequential recharge rate. The applied geophysical method is called minimum entropy deconvolution (MED). For this purpose, numerical modeling with linearized Boussinesq equation was applied. Using the synthesized hydraulic head through the numerical modeling, the relative sequenceof recharge is calculated inversely. Estimated results are very concordant with the applied recharge sequence. Cross-correlations between applied recharge sequence and the estimated results are above 0.985 in all study cases. Through the numerical test, the availability of MED in the estimation of the recharge sequence to groundwater was investigated
