The proposed immune algorithm has an uncomplicated structure and memory-cell mechanism as the optimization algorithm which imitates the principle of humoral immune response, and has been used as methods to solve parameter optimization problems. Up to now, the applications of immune algorithm have been optimization problems with non-varying system parameters. Therefore, the effect of memory-cell mechanism, which is a merit of immune algorithm, is without. this paper proposes the immune algorithm using a memory-cell mechanism which can be the application of system with nonlinear varying parameters. To verified performance of the proposed immune algorithm, the speed control of nonlinear DC motor are performed. Computer simulation studies show that the proposed immune algorithm has a fast convergence speed and a good control performances under the varying system parameters.

In this paper, the effects of ethanol blended gasoline on emissions and their catalytic conversion efficiency characteristics were investigated in a multiple-point EFI gasoline engine, The results show that with the increase of ethanol concentration in the blended fuels, THC emissions were drastically reduced by up to thirty percent, And brake specific fuel consumption was increased, but brake specific energy consumption could be improved. However, unburned ethanol and acetaldehyde emissions increased. Pt/Rh based three-way catalysts were effective to reduce acetaldehyde emissions, but had low catalytic conversion efficiency for unburned ethanol. The effect of ethanol on CO and NOx emissions and their catalytic conversion efficiency had close relation to the engine's speed, load and air/fuel ratio. Furthermore fuels blended with thirty percent ethanol by volume could dramatically reduced THC CO and NOx emissions at idle speed.

Glycerolysis of triolein by lipase from Chromobacterium viscosum lipase was studied batchwise in AOT-isooctane reversed micelles. The reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform and the content of triolein, 1, 2-diolein, 1, 3-diolein, 1-monoolein, and free fatty acid in the condensed chloroform solution was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The effect of agitation speed on the initial rate of conversion was examined. As the speed of agitation increased up to 700 rpm, the reaction rate increased. However, above 700 rpm, the rate approached maximum and did not increase that much. The glycerolysis activity and the stability of the enzyme were affected by stirring and addition of histidine or copper. Addition of histidine and copper increased the rates of glycerolysis but they are detrimental to the operational stability in reversed micelles.

This study analyzed characteristics of soft ground consolidation according to depths of vertical drain. As the result, when the depth ratio of vertical drains (L/D) were 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0, consolidation characteristics were similar up to 70% in consolidation degree under one-dimensional drain condition. However, above this degree, consolidation speed became slower as L/D became smaller. Two-dimensional drain condition also showed a similar tendency, but when L/D was 1.0, the consolidation speed was relatively higher.

This is the pre-study to pile up the basic technique for the electro-discharge machining in the field of micro-drilling. The machined chips are flowed out from the machining area by the flow arisen from the high speed rotation of the electrode. The cylindrical shape electrode, whose diameter is 0.5mm, is clamped by the three point clamping type clamper and the clamper is attached at the front shaft of the high speed rotating DC motor. The current for machining is controlled by pulse width modulation technique and the machining conditions such as frequency and duty ratio are changed to find out the effect of the variables for machined results.

Visualization and PIV measurements of the symmetrical recirculation flow in a nanoliter-sized droplet have been performed using the micro PIV system. The airflow sweeps over the nanoliter-sized liquid droplet fixed in a microchannel and the frictional force drags the liquid on the round interface, which causes the symmetrical recirculation flow in the droplet. The internal recirculation flow in the droplet has been visualized and measured successfully. The results of micro PIV measurement show the maximum speed of the recirculation flow is up to 10 mm/s. The high-speed recirculation can enhance a stirring effect and generate strong shear in the droplet, resulting in acceleration of mixing.

To cope with quest to improve the fuel economy and vehicle performance, Continuously Variable Transmission with Changing the speed ratio between minimum and maximum ratio by infinite step, is more efficient than conventional multi-ratio transmission. In this paper, to investigate a specific CVT shift ratio diagram and CVT shift characteristics, CVT vehicle was tested on the proving ground and chassis dynamometer. The test results are as follows; CVT can obtain the excellent vehicle performance and fuel economy changing the shift ratio by infinite step, without rapid change of engine revolution and driving force. And CVT can set up a special shift range that obtains not only the engine brake effect but also the maximum speed driving.

Object of this paper are numerical and experimental evaluation of Korean Standard Train Loading(L-loading scheme) with respect to UIC's and real train loading, quantitative formulation of the real train types in South Korea. These objects are require to changing environment of train operation, for example, high density traffic and gradual train speed increase. For the reasonable repair, reinforcement and rehabilitation of existing railway infrastructures, statistical analysis of the loading effect during the long term experiment in conventional lines have to conduct. Statistical quantitative formulation of the loading case need to consistency numerical evaluation of the railway safety. Hereafter, those results will be core technical data for the economy enhancement of international line construction. Further, these results are using to make track maintenance criterions for transcontinental, speed up railway and revision of standard train leading diagram.

Turbo-fans for a FFU unit should be aerodynamically designed to provide the FFU system with the given flow-rate at the lowest rotational-speed by considering the interaction effect with the FFU casing. In this study, slim and highly efficient turbo-fans are designed to satisfy the given performance at the specific speed by using the hybrid-stacking method of an inducer and a 2D-bladed turbo fan. The mean-line analysis, cascade theory, and CFD technique are all together applied to control the passage areas on the meridional plane from the inlet to the exit of the blade. Furthermore, the torque control algorithm is adopted to improve the performances within the constraints by the motor rpm-torque characteristics, and the resulting measured performances of mock-up fans are discussed.
