The Climate chamber system is an essential facility for aerodynamic performance development of commercial vehicles to investigate air flow field characteristics in different climatic conditions. In particular, the analysis of airflow fields within the chamber system is an essential consideration for optimal design. In this study, the pressure characteristics and velocity uniformity in the test section area were predicted with blower impeller rotational speed using CFD. The velocity uniformity is affected by the distance from the blower nozzle outlet, reaching up to 72.7% at 695 RPM. The pressure differential between 300 RPM and 740 RPM shows an approximate difference of 2651 Pa, with a high-pressure distribution observed along the right side wall of the blower. These results are expected to be used as design data applicable for improving the performance of environmental chamber systems.
Air flow field characteristics in a compact chamber system are indispensable for the efficient development of vehicle aerodynamic performance. In this study, air flow and velocity uniformity in the chamber system were numerically analyzed using the CFD method. Air flows at a uniform velocity from the outlet of the blower, passes fast through the heat exchanger with partial pressure difference, and then moves into the blower inlet. Overall pressure drop through the fan gradually increases with the flow rate. The uniformity varies along the test section, decreasing by 5-10% with distance from the nozzle. These predicted results can be widely used as basic conceptual design data for an efficient vehicle chamber system.
Recently injection mold processing is necessary for the development of efficient solar concentrator system with a Fresnel lenses. Heat transfer mechanism in the Fresnel lens manufacturing process have a significant influence on precision machining and optical performance of solar power generation. In this study, we analyzed the thermal characteristics of temperature and heat flux distributions near the lens for transient molding process using CFD method. Initially for one second fast temperature variation on the upper surface of the lens leads to high heat flux distribution. It is gradually cooled to around 128℃ over a period of 60 seconds which is largely affected by the mold structure and the characteristics of the cooling lines. There is also high heat flux occurred on the lens upper side and lower surfaces with rapid temperature change. These results can be applied as fundamental design data for the manufacturing process in the development of Fresnel lenses.
Air blower has been widely used in many industrial fields such as wind tunnel and large ventilation systems. Its performance is affected by operating conditions and system geometry of inpeller and duct, and these design parameter optimization is essential for the effective development. CFD analysis is carried out to investigate the air flow field characteristics with outlet total pressure in a blower system. Intake air into the impeller blade through the inlet is compressed, and then gradually discharged from the outlet with ascending total pressure, and predicted results are compared with test data. Especially this overall pressure difference in the blower system severely depends on the flow rate. These results are expected to be used as applicable design data for blower performance improvement.
Application areas of floating marine structure systems have been increased with the development of power generation systems using renewable energy. Hence it is necessary to analyze the behavior of these floating systems for efficient design and operation. In this study, a computational analysis was performed to predict the characteristics of mooring lines load variation connected to a floating marine structure with waves. Pressure on the floating body and mooring lines load were analyzed with wave direction and height. The floating body stability severely decreased for 90° of the wave incident direction, and maximum load of the mooring lines increased with the height. These results are expected to be applicable for optimal design of the marine floating system.
In this study, the protein content and functional changes in soybeans cultured with Phellinus linteus HN00K9 were analyzed. P. linteus HN00K9 was cultured on soybeans. The crude protein content in soybeans cultured with HN00K9 (PMS) was 41.99%, which was higher than that in soybeans not cultured with the mushroom (UCS). The total free amino acid content in PMS increased to 39,963 mg/100 g, which was higher than that in UCS (36,817 mg/100 g). In particular, in PMS, glutamic acid accounted for 18.5% of the total amino acids at 7,413 mg/100 g. The total polyphenol content in PMS was 2.66 mg GAE/g, which was more than 45% higher than the amount in UCS (1.45 mg GAE/g). Additionally, PMS showed a DPPH radical scavenging activity of 33.3%, which was 3 times higher than that exhibited by UCS (11.5%), reflecting its high antioxidant content. Therefore, the PMS in this study has potential for use as a functional food material.
Numerical analysis has been carried out to predict the thermal characteristics for a LED lens in mold core system. These thermal characteristics inside the lens are largely affected by geometry, material, and initial conditions of the mold core and lens system. Local temperature and heat flux variation inside the lens are compared for several initial temperatures. Maximum temperature inside the lens was decreased rapidly from the beginning of cooling process up to about 10 seconds. There was also large variation of the heat flux at the upper and lower surfaces of the lens with initial temperature distribution. And the heat flux from the thin lower surface of the lens was relatively higher than the opposite-side thick region. In addition, overall heat transfer rate from the lens through the mold core has similar transient distribution from the beginning. These results can be applied as basic heat transfer data for the LED lens design and manufacturing process in the mold core system.
This paper analyzed the price stabilization before and after the fisheries outlook project for seaweed, flatfish, and abalone. First, the stabilization effect was analyzed through the price variation coefficient before and after the observation project. In terms of the variation coefficient, there was no effect that the price was stabilized through the seaweed outlook project. However, it can be seen that flatfish and abalone have a price-stabilizing effect. Second, as a result of analyzing the price stabilization effect through the improved ARMA-T-GARCH model, it was confirmed that seaweed was not statistically significant while flatfish and abalone had a price stabilization effect by statistically significantly reducing volatility of real prices after the introduction of the fisheries outlook project. Third, as a result of analyzing the factors affecting price stability, it was found that the price of seaweed was stabilized after the WTO, but the Japanese earthquake expanded the price volatility. In the case of flatfish, it was analyzed that the price stabilized after the WTO and the Great Japanese Earthquake. Finally, the price of abalone has stabilized since the WTO and the Great Japanese Earthquake.

Experimental analysis has been carried out on double glazed glass of a commercial vehicle to analyze thermal characteristics for various air flow conditions. This double glazed glass has an important effect on the blocking performance of heat transfer with the vehicle's moving speed and ambient thermodynamic conditions. Calculated thermal resistances and heat transmission coefficient through the glass were compared with measured air indoor and outdoor temperatures including the glass surfaces using an experimental apparatus. The thermal resistance through the glass was increased with the indoor air temperature while overall heat transmission coefficient was decreased due to the convective heat transfer effect. As indoor air became warmer, the effect of air flow velocity on the heat transmission coefficient was reduced significantly. It is expected that these results can be used as applicable design data for the development of the double glazed glass system for many commercial vehicles.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the characteristics of seawater flow fields and turbine output in a compact double current tidal power generation system for various level differences. There are growing concerns for the development of efficient tidal power generation which is stable and less affected by environmental circumstances as ocean energy. Especially the flow field characteristics in the compact tidal power generation system have a large influence on the system power generation performance. Flow velocity, pressure, and streamline distributions are compared including vertical type turbine out, and it can be predicted that seawater is accelerated by vortex flow in front of the turbine and there is severe turbine output variation due to the water level difference with pressure difference. These results can be applied as basic data for the effective development of compact tidal power generation system.
Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the flow field characteristics for exhaust gas in automobile engine DPF system. The DPF system performance is largely affected by exhaust gas flow while it passes through the complicated geometry of DOC/DPF system, fan shape structure, and perforated can with air for fuel combustion. Hence the characteristics of fluid velocity, pressure, and streamline are analyzed with velocity uniformity in front of DOC and swirl flow near the fan. It can be seen that the velocity uniformity increases with the gas flow rate including flow acceleration near the lower area of the fan. The air flow also influences the gas flow distribution close to the impeller and fan structure with complicated swirl flow. These results are expected to be applicable as fundamental design data for automobile engine exhaust system.
