  • The small coastal vessel registered in Korea, small coastal vessels with a gross tonnage of 10 tons or less account for 94.6 % and among them, aged vessels over 16 years age indicate 40.6 %. In order to reduce GHG emissions from small coast vessels, discussions are underway to replace aging ships' propulsion units with eco - friendly propulsion facilities, and the electric propulsion ship is emerging as one of the measures. The electric propulsion system using the DFE rectifier, which was applied in the conventional large commercial vessel, was effective in reducing the harmonics and improving the DC output voltage of the DC link stage, but it occupied a large volume and caused an increase in the overall system price. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an electric propulsion system using AFE rectifier with a small volume of system that can be applied to a small coastal vessel. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the overall system, the load profile was applied to obtain accurate and rapid speed tracking performance of the propulsion motor affected by the speed load. In addition, the power factor and total harmonic distortion factor of the voltage and current on the improved power output side are derived through simulation.

  • Space launch vehicles mainly use the liquid-propellant propulsion system which has easy thrust control ability and high specific impulse for that the payload like satellite and spacecraft should be entered into exact orbit. However, the liquid-propellant propulsion system is very difficult to develop because it is more complicate than the solid rocket propulsion system and demands very high technology. In space launch vehicle developing procedure the system design level is very important thing to reduce cost, shorten schedule, and improve the performance. The system design process was introduced for selecting the best liquid-propellant propulsion system on this paper.

  • The propulsion system of turboprop has been rarely used in the large aircraft due to the limitation of the maximum velocity of the propeller, the power limitation by the reduction gear, etc. Recently, the demand on turboprop aircraft continues to increase because of economical efficiency and environmental factors. In this paper, turboprop propulsion system which is composed of a Pratt & Whitney 127F turboprop engine and a Hamilton Standard 568F propeller was modeled by using the Gasturb11 software. The result of the performance analysis on this propulsion system model showed that the propulsion system model was evaluated to have been successfully builded.

  • There is no significant difference in the initial viscosity of a propellant applied with yellow iron oxide and red iron oxide. In addition, the thermal decomposition rate of the material with added yellow iron oxide is faster than that with the addition of red iron oxide. Specifically, it was confirmed that the pressure exponent was 18% lower at high temperature and high pressure with yellow iron oxide than with red iron oxide. The initial viscosity was lowest at 71% of the large particle to small particle ratio.

  • To improve ship's maneuverability and carry out special goal POD propulsion system was equipped as propulsion and maneuvering system. To predict the maneuverability of a ship with POD propulsion system HPMM tests and POD open water test are carried out. In this paper modular model with 4 degree of freedom of a ship with twin POD propulsion system is presented. To use modular model the forces of POD propulsion system are measured separately from the hull forces. The measured forces and moments are analyzed by using modular model and whole ship model The simulation results of modular model are compared with those of whole ship model. From the present study it is Possible to analyze HPMM tests of a ship with twin POD propulsion system by modular model.
