Starting pressure of a supersonic ejector with a second-throat was investigated. In case of mixing chamber length longer than a critical length, starting pressure is in proportion to length of the mixing chamber. In this study, we assumed that the ejector starts when the primary supersonic flow reaches inlet of the second-throat and the distance of the supersonic flow traveling can be expressed by multiplying an empirical factor to the first diamond shock length of overexpanded flow. To calculate the overexpanded supersonic flow, a mixing model was employed to compute secondary flow pressure and the result was applied to back pressure condition of overexpanded flow calculation. In the result, for three cases of primary nozzle area ratio, we could get accurate model of predicting the starting pressure by selecting a suitable empirical factors around 3.

The main purpose of the present study is to perform shape optimizations of transonic compressor blade in order to enhance its performance. In this study, the Latin hypercube sampling of design of experiments and the weighted average surrogate model with the help of a gradient based optimization algorithm are used within design space by the lower and upper limits of each design variable and for finding optimum designs, respectively. 3-D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver is used to evaluate the objective functions of adiabatic efficiency and pressure ratio. Six variables from lean and airfoil thickness profile are selected as design variables. The results show that the adiabatic efficiency is enhanced by 1.43% by efficiency optimization while the pressure ratio is increased very small, and pressure ratio is increased by 0.24% by pressure ratio optimization.

A 22.9kV/50MVA class high temperature superconducting(HTS) power cable system was developed in Korea. For the optimization of electrical insulation design for a HTS cable, it is necessary to investigate the ac breakdown impulse breakdown and partial discharge inception stress of the liquid nitrogen/laminated polypropylene paper(LPP) composite insulation system. They were used to insulation design of the model cable for a 22.9kV class HTS power cable and the model cable was manufactured. The insulation test of the manufactured model cable was evaluated in various conditions and was satisfied standard technical specification in Korea. Base on these experimental data, the single and 3 phase HTS cable of a prototype were manufactured and verified.

The accelerated life tests of the catalytic gas sensor were performed at three different gas concentration conditions. From the test data, the power-Weibull model was estimated and the acceleration factor between test condition 25%LEL(Lowe Explosive Limit) and use condition 5%LEL was about 3 according to this acceleration model. Using this acceleration factor, life test specification for qualifying that B10 lifetime of the catalytic gas sensor meets the goal lifetime (5 years) was designed.

In this paper, the analysis of the arc-flow in the GCB is presented by using the modified FLIC method and the arc model. The modified FLIC method adopts the upwind scheme and requires short calculation time. The arc model used in this paper treats the arc as a energy source in the energy equation. The energy source is composed of the ohmic heating and the radiation energy transfer. At each step, the movement of electrode is simulated. From the simulation, reasonable results can be obtained.

In this article, a novel design of patch antenna with wide band characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna is having electrical dimensions of $0.14{\lambda}{\times}0.11{\lambda}$ (at lower initial frequency) and footprints of $150mm^2$. Structural parameters optimization shows 3.1-23.5 GHz frequency range for a (reflection coefficient) $S_{11}{\leq}-10dB$ and simulated gain 6.8 dB is obtained. An equivalent circuit model is proposed to get an insight view of antenna. Advanced Systems Design (ADS) simulation results are obtain which confirm the validity of proposed model. Degenerated foster canonical form has been used to explain the reactance and capacitive behavior idea of simulated proposed antenna's input impedance later on an equivalent circuit model and smith chart is also suggested. HFSS and CST have been used to analyze antenna behavior. The proposed antenna can be further used for microwave image detection applications.

Recently, climate change around the world due to global warming has became an important issue and damages by climate change have a bad effect on human life. Changes of Sea Surface Temperature(SST) is associated with natural disaster such as Typhoon and El Nino. So we predicted daily future SST using Statistical Downscaling Method and CGCM 3.1 A1B scenario. 9 points of around Korea peninsular were selected to predict future SST and built up a regression model using Multiple Linear Regression. CGCM 3.1 was simulated with regression model, and that comparing Probability Density Function, Box-Plot, and statistical data to evaluate suitability of regression models, it was validated that regression models were built up properly.

Anchors find their use in providing tie-back resistance for submerged footings, transmission towers, tunnels and ocean structures. Laboratory model teats were performed for the short-term net ultimate uplift capacity of a circular anchors with respect to various embedment depths and moisture content in saturated bentonite. The tests have been conducted with the anchor at two different moisture contents. Based an the model test results, empirical relationships between the net load, rate of strain, and time have been developed. Test results are as follows. 1) In creep tests for load versus ultimate uplift capacity, the displacement of plate anchors rapidly increases during the primary stage but thereafter becomes constant over a period of time. 2) Displacement increased with the increase of the sustain load and embedded ratio in soil. 3) If the load is less than or equal to 75% of the short-term ultimate uplift capacity, a complete pullout does not occur due to creep.

The present work evaluates the effects of mixing vane shape on the flow structure and heat transfer downstream of mixing vane in a subchannel of fuel assembly. by obtaining velocity and pressure fields. turbulent intensity. flow-mixing factors. heat transfer coefficient and friction factor using three-dimensional RANS analysis. Four different shapes of mixing vane. which were designed by the authors were tested to evaluate the performances in enhancing the heat transfer. Standard k-$\varepsilon$ model is used as a turbulence closure model. and. periodic and symmetry conditions are set as boundary conditions. The flow blockage ratio is kept constant. but the twist angle of mixing vane is changed. The results with three turbulence models were compared with experimental data.

Numerical study on the chaotic stirring of the screw extruder model proposed has been performed. The velocity field was used in obtaining the trajectories of passive particles for studying the stirring effect of the screw extruder. Two nonlinear dynamical tools, that are Poincare sections and Lyapunov exponents, were used in analysing the stirring effect. The Poincare sections and the Lyapunov exponents show that the stirring effect is most satisfactory, when n(the number of flights in a section) is 1, for the case a (aspect ratio ; flight height divided by the spacing between flights) being O.1. It is also required to set n=3, or 5 at a= 0.2, 0.3 for a uniform stirring.
