해양플랜트는 고립된 한경 특성상 화재에 취약하다. 특히 해양플랜트의 주요 기자재인 소화용 감압 밸브가 피해를 입었을 때 해양플랜트의 피해는 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 해양플랜트에 사용되는 소화용 감압밸브에 대한 화재 안전시험을 수행하고 그 결과를 수치해석 결과와 비교, 분석하여 해석의 타당성을 증명하고 화재 안전시험에 대한 해석 기법을 제시하였다. 화재 안전시험의 화염을 구현하기 위해 FSI를 이용하였으며 화재 안전시험의 온도 분포와 해석 결과 온도분포의 비교를 통해 해석 기법의 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 또한, 화재 안전시험에서 나타난 문제점을 구조해석을 통해 검증하였으며 그 결과 시트의 변형이 문제점으로 나타났다.

고압을 받는 플랜트용 제품 설계 시에 대부분 강건 구조를 지양하다 보면 안전율이 높아지고 중량이 과다 해지는 문제가 있다. 본 논문은 플랜트용 이축 볼밸브 볼의 경량화를 위하여 밸브의 3차원 모델링과 ANSYS를 적용한 유한요소해석으로 응력해석을 수행한 후에, 허용 응력 범위와 설계 변경 제한 조건 내에서 최적화 과정으로 볼의 중량 감소를 달성하였다. 약 22%의 볼 중량이 감소되었고 응력은 증가하였으나 안전계수는 1.25가 되었다. 볼의 일부분에 과도한 응력이 있으나 대부분 재료의 항복응력 허용치 내에 있어 안전한 상태이다. 유동의 흐름을 제어하는 실링 (seal) 역할을 하는 시트 인서트와 시트 링 등 밸브의 3차원 모델에 대한 정적 구조해석으로 응력 값을 확인하여 안전함을 확인하였고, 또한 대칭 구조인 부분에 대해 2차원 단순 모델의 구조해석으로 같은 결과가 도출됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 범위는 볼의 중량 감소라 볼의 감소된 치수가 도출되었으며, 주변 부재의 재설계는 (신제품 개발에 해당되어) 본 연구에 고려되지 않는다.

To improve the durability of the turbocharger, it is important to suppress cracking of the turbine housing; therefore, we investigated the initiation and growth of these cracks. First, we initiated a crack in the turbine housing using endurance experiments. After the endurance test, cracks mainly occurred in the valve seat, the nozzle area, and the scroll part of the turbine housing. The results of a fracture analysis of the cracks showed that cracks in the valve seat were initiated by fatigue fracture. This seems to be caused by the accumulation of mechanical and thermal stresses due to vibration of the turbine wheel and high-temperature exhaust gas. Also, cracks in nozzle and scroll area were initiated by intergranular corrosion due to the exhaust gas. Thus, although there are differences in the cause of initiation according to the site, a concentric waveform was observed in all fracture planes. This phenomenon indicates that cracks gradually grow due to repeated stress changes, and the main causes are the temperature difference of the exhaust gas and the vibration caused by the turbine shaft.

This paper studies the effects of intake port configuration on the swirl that is key parameter in the flow field of direct injection diesel engines. In-cylinder flow characteristics is known to have significant effects on fuel air mixing, combustion and emissions. To investigate the swirl flow generated by various intake ports, steady state flow tests were conducted to evaluate the swirl. Helical port geometry, SCV shape and bypass were selected as the design parameters to increase the swirl flow and parametric study was performed to choose the optimal port shape that would generate a high swirl ratio efficiently. The results revealed that a key factor in generating a high swirl ratio was to suitably control the direction of the intake air flow passing through the valve seat. For these purposes, we changed the distance of helical and tangential port as well as installed bypass near the valve seat and the effects of intake port geometry on in-cylinder flow field were visualized by a laser sheet visualization method. From the experimental results, we found that the swirl ratio and mass flow rate had a trade off relation. In addition, the result indicates that the bypass is a effective method to increase the swirl ratio without sacrificing mass flow rate.

실리콘 공정을 이용하여 마이크로 밸브(valve)를 제작할 때에 역방향 누설 유량은 중요한 문제중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 플래퍼(flapper)와 노즐(nozzle)을 이용하여 누설 유량이 없는 마이크로 밸브를 설계하고, 실리콘 공정을 이용하여 제작하였다. 제작된 마이크로 밸브의 작동원리는 정방향 압력이 가해질 때에는 유체의 압력이 플래퍼를 위로 밀어서 유체를 흐르게 하고, 역방향 압력이 가해질 때에는 플래퍼를 밀지만 이때는 노즐의 입구에 의해 지지되므로 플래퍼나 노즐이 깨지지 않는 한 유체가 흐를 수 없게 된다. 노즐은 (100) 웨이퍼를 습식식각하여 제작하였고, 플래퍼는 역형상을 $20{\mu}m$만큼 플라즈마 식각장비(RIE)로 수직 식각한 뒤 뒷면에서부터 습식식각을 하여 제작하였다. 제작된 마이크로 플래퍼-노즐 밸브의 정적특성을 해석하였고, 순수를 사용한 실험결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과는 제작된 마이크로 플래퍼-노즐 밸브가 완전한 다이오드적인 특성을 가진다는 것을 보여 주었다.

The purpose of this paper was to design an effective control system of 1-axis exciter for a seat vibration test of agricultural tractors using MATLAB simulation. The developed simulation model was composed with a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic servo valve, a hydraulic cylinder and load system. Also it was verified by comparing the simulation results with experimental results of actual control system in order to optimize the control performance. And in order to improve its control performance, the designed PID controller in this research was tuned using Ziegler-Nichols 2nd law and zero's moving method of PID controller's transfer function. As the result of these research, the developed position control system was able to control the system's position accurately within 5% errors.

The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLI) system is considered as one of the next generation fuel supply systems for LPG, vehicles, since it can accomplish the higher power, higher efficiency, and lower emission characteristics than the existing mixer type fuel supply system. However, during the injection of liquid LPG fuel into the inlet duct of an engine, a large quantity of heat is extracted due to evaporation of fuel. A problem is that the moisture in the air freezes around the outlet of a nozzle, which is called icing Phenomenon. It may cause damage to the outlet nozzle of an injector. The frozen ice deposit detached from the nozzle also may cause a considerable damage to the inlet valve or valve seat. In this work, the experimental investigation of the icing phenomenon was carried out. The results showed that the icing phenomenon and process were mainly affected by humidity of inlet air instead of the air temperature in the inlet duct. Also, it was observed that the icing occurs first in the inlet of a nozzle, and grows considerably at the upper part of the nozzle inlet and the opposite side of the nozzle entrance. An LPG fuel, mainly consisting of butane, has lower latent heat of vaporization than that of propane, which is an advantage in controlling the icing phenomenon.

This work focuses on finding out the noise source and the method of reducing the noise level of LPG(liquefied petroleum gas) fuel injector. The noise of LPG injector in operating condition is due to the impact between valve and valve seat. This study shows that if the revolution of engine is increased, the noise of LPG injector will be more serious but it is not nearly affected by the increment of fuel pressure. The source and transmission paths of noise are identified through the analysis of noise generation mechanism and noise spectrum. The sound absorbing material is tested to verify its efficiency of sound absorption thor the LPG injector. The effect of noise reduction of absorbing material is remarkable when the engine speed is high. Consequently two methods of reducing the noise level are suggested from the identified results. The one is to equip the absorbing material on the outer side of injector and the other is to coat with a soft material or equip a soft ring on the surface of impact.

Ball valves are used as a key element in the process industries. The industrial development of valves has increased steadily, but continued improvement requires high design reliability and long service life. Currently, the development of high performance valves is not easy because of the lack of relevant technology in Korea. Valves are being imported at a level of up to 58 percent of the domestic market, which represents a value of almost 7 million US dollars. Therefore, in this work, the improvement of the design and performance of industrial valves has been studied in an attempt to achieve valves that will have longer service life and better output during operation. The structural stability was evaluated using the ANSYS FSI (Fluid-Structural Interaction) module. Moreover, to obtain maximum product reliability, torque analysis simulation was performed to compare and experimental results. The simulation results were used to predict the change in torque by changes in shape, thereby reducing the time and cost of manufacturing a number of prototypes for experimental validation.

Gas tungsten arc(GTA) welding is used to rrpiar the seat ring in swing type check valve in power plant because of its high weld quality. In order to automate the welding process, it is needed to analyze the process of inside pipe girth welding. In this study, the shapes of weld bead on pipe inside and outside were predicted and its validity was investigated. On the assumption that the welding arc had a bivariate gaussian distribution, analytical solution was derived to predict the temperature distribution in pipe weld using mapping under consideration of physical relationships. The size of weld bean could be predicted from this equation and its accuracy was verified by experiments.
