Toilet liquid-type cleaners utilize operating technology that employs buoyancy mechanism to inject uniform amount of cleaning solution. Flow characteristics of velocity and pressure distributions in the flow field of toilet flush cleaner injection device have been analyzed with CFD method. The flow rate decreases near the inlet of the system, where it contacts the container of the cleaning liquid bottle. It then increases near the injection device stopper and decreases again as it moves toward the system outlet The height of the cleaning solution decreases from 12 cm to 3 cm when using the spray device, the average outlet velocity decreases by approximately 73%. The solution level difference increases from 1.616 cm to 3.216 cm, the inlet velocity decreases by approximately 4.1%~5.6%. These predicted results can be widely applied as basic conceptual design data for highly efficient toilet flush cleaner injection device.

Aerial work platform truck is used in various ways depending on the surrounding environment, of city roads, farming areas, and industrial sites. Air flow, drag force and torque in surroundig the flow field of AWP have been analyzed with CFD method. The overall air flow rate decreases as the AWP passes and increases between the vehicle and the boom, at the boom connections, and at the bottom of the work platform. The drag force and torque on the boom, workspace, and the combined boom and workspace are largely affected by air flow velocity. The boom's drag and torque are approximately 2.2 and 1.3 times greater than those of the work platform, respectively. These predicted results can be widely applied as basic conceptual design data for highly efficient aerial work platform truck.

In this study, power generation characteristics based on water flow dynamics in a pipe system with a mobile firefighting robot were analyzed using 3D CAD modeling and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulations. The water flow field which is significantly affected by applied pressure, generates mechanical torque at the turbine blades, enabling power generation. The inlet pressure of the flow field was set to approximately 6 to 12 bar, and the flow characteristics such as velocity, pressure, and mass flow rate, along with power generation characteristics, were analyzed under various turbine rotational velocities. It was observed that higher inlet pressures resulted in increased torque and mechanical power output at the turbine blades. This research is expected to serve as a fundamental design and data reference to improve the performance of firefighting robots at fire sites.

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.
