As the performance of engines improves, the temperature of engines is increasing, resulting in a high piston temperature. An excessively high piston temperature may result in torque drop or engine failure. An oil jet is used to reduce the piston temperature. In this study, to monitor the effect of oil jet, a templug was used to measure the piston temperature. A templug is a kind of sensor and the hardness of the templug changes according to the piston temperature. Using a templug, the maximum temperature of the piston was measured with and without an oil jet. The piston temperature was lowered using the oil jet. The highest temperature region changed from the center crown to the front/rear area. In addition, the temperature difference between the highest and lowest regions became smaller.

대형 상용 엔진에서 발생하는 유효 도시 마력의 약 4~15%는 마찰 손실을 통해서 사라지며 마찰 손실 중 약 40~55%는 엔진 실린더와 피스톤 사이의 마찰에 의하여 발생하여, 엔진 전체에서 발생하는 마찰 손실 중 가장 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 엔진 실린더 라이너의 온도 분포 개선을 통해 라이너를 따라 유막을 형성하고 있는 윤활유의 적정 점성을 유지시키는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 피스톤-라이너에서 발생하는 마찰 특성은 피스톤의 행정 위치에 따라서 접촉 마찰과 유막에 의한 마찰로 구분되며 이에 따라 요구되는 윤활유의 점성 특성 또한 달라진다. 먼저 해석 모델을 통하여 실린더 라이너 내부 온도 분포 특성을 확인한 후 피스톤 마찰 특성을 고려한 적정 온도 분포를 고찰하며 실린더 라이너에 열저항 코팅을 통해서 이를 구현하였다. 또한 실린더-피스톤 간의 마찰/윤활 해석을 통하여 열저항 코팅의 마찰 개선효과를 확인하였다.

엔진블럭 사이를 왕복 운동하는 피스톤은 엔진블럭과의 마찰은 불가피한 상태일 수밖에 없으며 이렇게 된다면 엔진블럭 또는 피스톤의 파손, 변경이 있을 수밖에 없다. 피스톤에 대한 연구는 이러한 파손, 변경을 최소화시키기 위해서 내마모성, 내열성 그리고 내구성을 향상시키는데 목적을 두고 있다. 본 실험은 APS법으로 제작된 자기윤활복합코팅층을 준비해 레이저표면텍스처링을 넣어 마찰 실험을 하였다. 기지재로는 알루미나-지르코니아복합체를 사용하였고, 고체윤활제로는 $CaF_2$ 및 $BaF_2$을 사용하였다.

Recently, evacuation safety of building residents becomes the major concern, as the building has been higher and more complicated. Many high-rise multi use buildings are under construction in Korea. Required evacuation time using stairway is longer in high-rise buildings, moreover it is impossible for the disabled to evacuate by using stairway. For this reason the study on the effectiveness of using elevator for evacuation is being progressed. Elevator shaft flow coefficient is the major factor for the calculation of elevator piston effect. The results of this study can be used for the study of elevator piston effect as basic data. The flow coefficient simulation was performed using FLUENT, commercial CFD program. As a result of the flow coefficient simulation, the coefficient is 0.88 considering the safety factor. This result is verified that the result of experimental study, 0.86 is conservative.

The thermo-flow field in road tunnel is influenced by some facts such as piston effect of vehicle's move, operation of ventilation facilities, natural wind and buoyancy effect of fire plume. Among those, piston effect is one of primary causes for formation of air flow in road tunnel and has an effect on initial direction of smoke flow in tunnel fire. In this study to analyze the unsteady flow in the tunnel caused by the run of vehicle, the experimental study of vehicle-induced unsteady flow on a reduced-scale model tunnel is presented. While the three types of vehicle shape such as basic type of rectangular shape, diamond-head type and stair-tail type are changed, the pressure and air velocity variations with time are measured. The rising ratio of pressure and velocity are in order of "basic type of rectangular shape > stair-tail type > diamond-head type". The experimental results would be good data for development of a numerical method on the vehicle-induced unsteady tunnel flow.

Recently, evacuation safety of building resident become the major concern, as the building has been higher and more complicated. Required evacuation time using stairway is longer in high-rise buildings, moreover it is impossible for the disabled to evacuate by using stairway. For this reason the study on the effectiveness of using elevator for evacuation is progressing. This study shows the flow coefficient of hoistway when elevator is moving. The results of this study can be used for the study of elevator piston effect as basic data. Experiments were performed in 5 different hoistways at 3-story and 2-story buildings. According to the result of flow coefficient experiments, average flow coefficient is 0.954. Considering the $4{\sigma}$ to guarantee 99.99 % reliance, it is 0.86. This result is 3.6 % bigger than 0.83 that Klote and Tamura suggested. It represents that the maximum critical pressure is decreased about 7 % on the same condition of elevator and elevator shaft. When the smoke control performance of high-rise building is evaluated, the result is significant economically by applying a more realistic and less value of elevator piston effect.

In order to design a swash plate type pump for electro-hydrostatic actuators the performance of the hydrostatic piston shoe bearings in the low speed range needs to be examined, since the pump operates frequently at low speeds, compensating for position control errors as a control element. As a common practice, piston shoes are equipped with inner rings as an auxiliary element to enhance their tribological performance. In this paper, the effects of the inner rings of the piston shoes on the frictional loss and leakage flow rate were investigated, where three piston shoe models, with different inner ring shapes and different inlet orifice sizes, were integrated. The test results showed that a large inner ring and small inlet orifice were advantageous for reducing both the frictional loss and leakage flow rate; this could also be confirmed by computational analyses.

The shock absorber with magnetic effect is suggested for a lunar lander. The shock absorber consists of a metal tube, a piston rod, and several permanent magnets moved by a piston rod in the tube, and the shock energy can be dispersed and dissipated by magnetic effects such as the magnetic force existed between a metal and magnets and the eddy current effect generated by a relative motion with a conductor and magnets. Besides, the shock-absorbing effect similar to that of a coil spring can be obtained by arranging the magnets in line, which are facing the same polar each other. The device has a very simple structure and is usable in space due to the unnecessariness of any oil or gas. The shock absorber was designed and manufactured for experiments and its spring and damping characteristics were studied by the theoretical, analytical and experimental methods.

Combustion oscillations are caused by a coupling between acoustic waves and unsteady heat release. They can be eliminated using passive controller such as a helmholtz resonator. But, helmholtz resonator is normally only effective over a narrow frequency range. In this work, helmholtz resonator is applied for reducing the combustion oscillations and we vary the helmholtz resonator volume using piston in oder to tune in the wide range of operating conditions. As the result, it is found that the dominant combustion oscillations can be reduced by optimizing the size of resonator volume. Also, from these results, we investigate feasibility of actively tuned passive control
