This paper presents the flow analysis of flow over a cylindrical helical-blade turbine to investigate its optimum performance by varying design parameters. For numerical investigations, shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model is used. This simulation is carried out using commercial code CFX by ANSYS Inc. In this paper, the shape optimization was of turbine blades with NACA0021 performed for the vertical-axis turbine having the cylindrical shape. The influences of blade angle of attack, helical angle, and solidity on each shape are grasped. From of the flow analysis, power coefficient decreased when the helical angle was 20 degrees or more, and no electricity is produced when the solidity of 0.1. As a result of the shape optimization, the cylindrical turbine showed the highest power coefficient of 0.2733 at 3° of the blade angle of attack, 10° of the helical angle, and 0.2 of the solidity at the tip speed ratio of 1.

A study has been conducted on the structural analysis to reduce the light weight of the electric vehicle rotor shaft. ANSYS Static Structural was used for structural analysis. For weight reduction, the solid shaft was converted into a hollow shaft. The yield strength of the existing material SCM 440 is 655MPa, but to increase its safety, the yield strength is changed to 1,030MPa with SCM822H. At this time, weight reduction of about 47% was achieved. The resonance frequency of the rotor shaft was determined by vibration analysis and the structural safety was analyzed.

To develop a high pressure main drive hydraulic cylinder for concrete pumping car, it is essential to accurately predict the internal flow structure of the hydraulic cylinder and ensure structural stability. Therefore, in this study structural and buckling analysis were essentially used for safe design. From analysis results, the maximum equivalent stress occurred when the cylinder thickness was 15 mm and the hydraulic cylinder was deemed to be structurally safe. The buckling analysis of the hydraulic cylinder assembly showed that the critical load factor was from 1.3732 to 12.021 and the critical force factor in the entire area was not observed because the critical load factor was greater than 1. The average flow rate of cylinder was uniformly distributed and the flow rate error for the inlet and outlet port could be found to be approximately identical to that of 2 %.

It is necessary to develop a device for the design of wet scrubber with a more efficient deodorization performance in order to enhance the odor reducing effect of the wet scrubber. Therefore in this study, the superiority of the new wet scrubber with the centrifugal separation function different from the conventional wet scrubber was analyzed by the computational fluid dynamics. From CFD analysis, the pressure and velocity distribution, the peak vorticity, the retention time and the flow uniformity were calculated and compared with the performance characteristics of the centrifugal separator. As the results of CFD analysis, the peak vorticity and retention time of the gas flow were increased about 22% and the flow uniformity was improved about 7.2% by the centrifugal separator. Therefore the centrifugal separator in the wet scrubber will improve the deodorizing effect and the cleaning condition of the gas.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the structural safety of the spherical-helical turbine for hydro-power. We analyze fluid-structure interaction of the spherical-helical turbine for hydro-power using ANSYS-CFX and Mechanical. The maximum combined stress, deformation and safety factor of the spherical-helical turbine in cases of three types of materials were obtained by fluid-structural analysis. From structural analysis, the maximum value of the equivalent stress occurred at the shaft of the turbine for three material types. In case of a polyethylene turbine blades, the maximum equivalent stress and safety factor were 3.46 MPa and 7.23. Polyethylene turbine blades were evaluated to be safe except of the turbine shaft. Several researches will be performed based on the results of this study and more research and development of technologies are needed in this field.

꿀벌은 화분매개 산업으로 가장 각광을 받고 있는 곤충 중 하나이다. 현재는 서양뒤열벌, 머리뿔가위벌 등이 화분매개로 많이 이용되며 앞으로 다른 화분매개 곤충을 연구하여 화분매개 산업을 발전 시켜나가 농가와의 시너지효과를 기대할 수 있다. 현대에 들어 화분매개 산업에 문제시 되는 농약의 독성에 대한 피해가 늘어나고 있는데 미래의 화분매개충이 될 확률이 높은 stingless bee와 꿀벌간의 급성 독성에 대한 차이를 알고자 태국 치앙마이 대학교에서 stingless bee를 포획하여 네오니코티노이드계 3종(Thiamethoxam, Imidacloprid, clothianidin과 카바메이트계 1종(Cabaryl)에 대해서 섭식독성 실험을 하였다. 농약별 추천 농도에 맞게 희석 한 후, 10배부터 100,000배 6단계로 나누어 처리 하였다. Stingless bee의 반수치사농도는 Thiamethoxam, Imidacloprid, clothianidin에 대해 각각 049, 5.84, 0.72 ppm이었고, Cabaryl 처리구에서는 처리후 14시간까지 추천농도에서도 20%대의 사망률을 보였다. 반면 A. mellifera의 반수치사농도는 각각 0.22, 1.97, 0.46, 53.6 ppm로 나타났다. A. mellifera 국내 개체군을 대상으로 한 연구에서는 0.19, 6.32, 0.22, 7.84 ppm으로 나타났다. 꿀벌의 경우 개체군간 차이는 매우 적었으며, stingless bee의 경우 독성이 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다.

꿀벌류은 화분매개에 있어 중요한 곤충이다. 최근 농업환경에 노출되는 합성 작물보호제에 의한 꿀벌 독성에 관한 우려가 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 네오니코티노이드계 살충제의 급성 섭식 독성이 꿀벌 체구에 따라 달라지는지를 평가하였다. 실험 봉군은 태국 치앙마이대학에서 유지하고 있는 것과 일부는 인근에서 채집하여 사용하였다. 일벌 성충의 체구 크기 순은 다음과 같다: Apis florea, A. cerena, A. mellifera, A. dorsata. 처리 약제는 네오니코티노이드계 3종; Thiamethoxam, Imidacloprid, Clothianidin과 카바메이트계 Carbaryl이었다. 추천 농도에서 10배부터 100,000배까지 6단계로 농도 구배를 두고, 섭식 처리하였다. 사망의 판정은 붓으로 건드렸을 때 2회 연속 움직이지 않을 때를 사망으로 처리하였다. 대부분의 경우, 개체 평가와 집단 평가에서 차이가 없었다. 사망률은 농도에 따른 반응을 보였다. 반수치사농도를 기준으로 볼 때, 4종 약제의 독성은 체구가 작은 A. florea가 대체로 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 체구가 가장 큰 A. dorsata가 가장 높게 나타났다. A. cerana는 Thiametoxam에 특히 민감한 것으로 나타났고, A. florea의 Imidacloprid에 대한 반수치사농도가 특이하게 높게 나타났다. LT값은 처리 농도에 따른 전형적인 반응을 보였다.

플라즈마 침탄한 저 탄소 Cr-Mo 강(0.176C-1.014Cr-0.387Mo)의 침탄 특성과 피로성질을 고찰하였다. 플라즈만 침탄한 시편의 유효경화깊이는 가스 침탄한 시편에 대해 상대적으로 침타나시간이 짧고 침탄온도가 낮음에도 불구하고 50%정도까지 증가되었다. 플라즈만 침탄시 유효경화깊이의 증가는 표면탄소농도의 증가와 같은 경향을 보였으며, 표면탄소농도의 증가와 같은 경향을 보였으며, 표면탄소농도의 증가율이 침탄시간의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 플라즈만 침탄간의 피로한도는 가스 침탄강의 경우보다 높았다. 이를 표면근처의 미세구조, 경화깊이 잔류, 오스테나이트와 압축잔류응력으로 조사한 결과 경화깊이와 압축잔류응력의 차이가 거의 없었다. 따라서 플라즈만 침탄의 피로강도 향상은 가스침탄에 비해 표면이 상승층이 저감되어 표면에서의 미소균열의 발생 및 초기 균열 전파과정이 지연 되어진 것으로 판단된다. 파단면 관찰결과 표면에서 균열이 시작되고 플라즈마 침탄의 경우 입내파괴가 현저하였다.

There is growing concern over the effects of global warning. In response, the power generation sector must consider a wider range of systems and fuels to generate power. One of the classes of solid fuels that is being increasingly developed is biomass. However, one of the most serious problems that biomass plants face is severe corrosion. To mitigate the problem, various approaches have been proposed in terms of additive utilization. This study is based on the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chip and waste wood in a circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFBC boiler). The KCl concentration was reduced from 59.9 ppm to 3.9 ppm during the injection of ammonium sulfate, and NOx was reduced by 25.5 ppm from 30.6 ppm to 5.1 ppm. However, SOx increased by 110.2 ppm from 33.2 ppm to 143.4 ppm, and HCl increased by 71.5 ppm from 340.5 ppm to 412.0 ppm. Thus, we confirmed that the attitude of the superheater tube was reduced by 87 ~ 93%, and the injection of ammonium sulfate was effective in preventing high-temperature corrosion.

Biomass-fired power plants produce electricity and heat by burning biomass in a boiler. However, one of the most serious problems faced by these plants is severe corrosion. In biomass boilers, corrosion comes from burnt fuels containing alkali, chlorine, and other corrosive substances, causing boiler tube failures, leakages, and shorter lifetimes. To mitigate the problem, various approaches implying the use of additives have been proposed; for example, ammonium sulfate is added to convert the alkali chlorides (mainly KCl) into the less corrosive alkali sulfates. Among these approaches, the high temperature corrosion prevention technology based on ammonium sulfate has few power plants being applied to domestic power plants. This study presents the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chips and waste in a circulating fluidized bed boiler. The aim was to investigate the characteristics of pollution load in domestic biomass power plants with ammonium sulfate injection. By injecting the ammonium sulfate, the KCl content decreased from 68.9 to 5 ppm and the NOx were reduced by 18.5 ppm, but SO2 and HCl were increased by 93.3 and 68 ppm, respectively.

In order to complement the defects of a ballasted track requiring continuous maintenance and a concrete track where the initial construction cost is expensive, research on an asphalt concrete track that is easy to maintain, economical and environmentally friendly is underway. In order to investigate the safety and the applicability of the asphalt concrete track, the test construction was carried out on the Kyeongbuk line. In this study, when the Mugunghwa train runs on the asphalt concrete track, the wheel load and lateral wheel load measured through the sensors installed at the rails were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the track performance test standard was satisfied.
