In this paper, a pico hydro turbine employing low head circulation water at fish farms is designed and evaluated. Due to the advantages of simple structures, small head requirements, and low-cost investment, the constant thickness propeller turbine is considered as a feasible solution. The design process based on the free vortex method is presented in full detail, and a 4-blade runner is built using BladeGen. The turbine performance is analyzed both numerically and via experimental methods. Despite slight differences, the results show similar trends between CFD simulations and experiments carried out on factory test-rigs in a wide range of working conditions. At the design flow rate, the turbine achieves the best efficiency of 70 %, generating 3.5 kW power when rotating at 420 rpm. The internal flow field, as well as the turbine's behavior, are investigated through the distribution of blade streamlines, pressure, and velocity around the runner. Moreover, the pressure coefficient on the blade surface at 3 span positions is plotted while the head loss for each simulation domain is calculated and displayed by charts.

Stainless steel sheets are widely used as the structure material for the railroad cars and the commercial vehicles. These kinds structures used stainless steel sheets are commonly fabricated by using the gas welding. For fatigue design of gas welded joints such as fillet and plug and ring type joint, it is important to obtain optimum design parameter information on gas welded joints. In this paper, analysis approach for fatigue test using experimental design are evaluated optimum factor in gas welded joint type and geometrical parameters of materials. Using these results, that factors applied to fundamental information for fatigue design.

The effect of Al(OH)3 on physical, thermal, and retardant property of rubber was studied. It was analyzed by statistical experimental design method with one way array to confirm the effect of factors. Physical characteristics, thermal pyrolysis temperature, and combustion time were considered as the properties. The amount of Al(OH)3 addition was chosen as significant parameter. As the result of ANOVA analysis, thermal pyrolysis temperature increased and combustion time decreased with increasing of Al(OH)3.

Box-Wilson 실험계획법은 보통 중심합성계획법으로 알려져 있으며, 변동성이 존재하는 정보를 실험 계획적 방법으로 수집하는 설계 기법이다. 이 방법은 최소의 설계비용으로 가능한 많은 정보를 얻는 목적으로 고안되었다. 본 연구에서는 60 MPa급 고강도 자기충전형 콘크리트(HSSCC)를 대상으로 다양한 성능에 대한 여러 배합인자들의 효과를 효율적으로 파악하고 최적배합을 찾는 과정에 이 방법을 적용하였다. HSSCC의 배합인자(요인)와 물리적 성능(반응) 사이의 비선형적 관계는 2차 다항식으로 반응표면을 근사화 모델링하였으며, 요인점=25=32개, 축점=2k=10개, 중심점은 각 축에서 2번 씩 10개, 총 52개의 실험점에서 물시멘트비, 단위시멘트량, 잔골재비, 단위플라이애쉬량, 단위고성능감수량의 총 5개의 인자에 따른 압축강도, 통과능력, 재료분리저항성, 제조비용, 밀도 등의 총 5개의 반응을 파악하기 위한 실험이 실시되었다. 연구의 결과 Box-Wilson 실험계획법은 배합인자와 반응 사이의 관계를 과학적인 방법으로 계획하고 객관적으로 해석하는 데 매우 효과적이었으며, 수치해석적인 방법으로 최적배합을 계산할 수 있었다.
