  • The aim of this paper was to investigating the effects of soil relative density, construction materials roughness, oil type (gasoil, crude oil, and used motor oil), and oil content on the internal and interface shear behavior of sand with different construction materials by means of a modified large direct shear test apparatus. Tests conducted on the soil-soil (S-S), soil-rough concrete (S-RC), soil-smooth concrete (S-SC), and soil-steel (S-ST) interfaces and results showed that the shear strength of S-S interface is always higher than the soil-material interfaces. Internal and interface friction angles of sand beds increased by increase in relative density and decreased by increasing oil content. The oil properties (especially viscosity) played a major role in interface friction behavior. Despite the friction angles of contaminated sands with viscous fluids drastically decreased, it compensated by the apparent cohesion and adhesion developed between the soil grains and construction materials.

  • The flow behavior of the mycelial broth of glucoamylase hyperproducer Asp. niger No. PFST-38 for the production of glucoamylase were studied. The mycelial broth followed Bingham-pseudoplastic flow model described by Herschel-Bulkley equation. The yield stress increased with the increase in mycelial concentration. The dependency of the consistency index and the flow behavior index on the mycelial concentration could be expressed by a linear relationship. The consistency index increased proportionally with the mycelial concentration while the flow behavior index decreased with the increase in mycelial concentration. The flow property of the broth was related to the morphological data obtain in the previous study. The changes in apparent viscosity of the broth could be expressed as a function of the hyphal thickness as shown below.

  • The ER fluid can be one of efficient materials in ultraprecision polishing for optics, ceramics and semiconductors because of electrically controllable apparent viscosity. To finish small 3 dimensional structures such as the aspherical surface in optical elements, the possible arrangement of a tool, workpiece and auxiliary electrode is described. We examined the influence of the addition of a few abrasive particles on the performance of the ER fluid by measuring yield stress, and observed the behavior of abrasive particles in the ER fluid by a CCD camera, which is also theoretically predicted from the electromechanical principles of particles. On the basis of the above results, the steady flow analysis around the rotating micro tool is worked out considering the non-uniform electric field. Finally, Pyrex glass is polished using the mixture of the ER fluid and abrasive particles, and the effect of the electric field strength is evaluated.

  • For the purpose of investigation of the food processing fittness of the sea mustard aqueous extracts, the steady shear flow have been measured over a wide range of shear rate using a Brookfield digital viscometer(SPDL21). The rheological behaviors of the sea mustard aqueous extracts which were extracted at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours exhibited pseudoplastic behavior with yield stress. In the test of the relationship between temperature and apparent viscosity of samples at 10 rpm decreased along with the increment of temperature. The sea mustard aqueous extracts appeared greatly temperature dependent characteristics(Ea=1.51 ㎉/mole).

  • The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength characteristics of polyurethane(PUR) mortar cured under low temperature condition. PUR mortars are prepared with various catalyst content, methylene chloride(MC) content as a viscosity reducing agent, and curing age at low temperature condition of $0^{\circ}C$, -5$^{\circ}C$ and -1$0^{\circ}C$, tested for working life, compressive and flexural strengths. From the test results, the catalyst and MC contents affect the degree of hardening and blowing of PUR mortar. Strengths increase with an increasing catalyst content at low temperature. Flexural and compressive strength of PUR mortar are about 177kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 490kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively at curing temperature of -1$0^{\circ}C$ with catalyst content of 0.4%. Therefore, it is apparent that this PUR mortars have a sufficient strengths for repair of concrete structures.

  • This study is a basic one for application of ER Fluid to fluid power systems. By mixing silicone oil with zeolite particles, four kinds of ER fluids were made, in which the weight ratio of zeolite particles are different. We examined how the Yield shear stress and Bingham characteristics of the ER fluids are effected by varying electric field intensity. We designed and constructed a disk type power transmission clutch in which ER fluid fills and this ER fluid transmits the power of drive shaft to the driven shaft. With this equipment, the revolution transmission ratio from the chive shaft to the driven shaft by varying electric field density of the ER fluid was examined.

  • ERFs(Electrorheological Fluids) arc a complex system consisting of polarizable particles and insulation liquid. When an external electric field is applied to ERFs, its apparent viscosity increases dramatically. This phenomenon is called the ER effect. Generally, the behavior of ERFs has been modeled on those of Bingham fluids. But the behavior of ERFs differs from those of Bingham fluids in many respects. In the paper, ER effect concerning flow mode of ERFs is analyzed experimentally. According to several flow conditions, the change of ER effect is presented and visualized. A new modeling methodology of ER effect to reduce the modeling error is presented.

  • In the present paper, we theoretically analyze the flow of magnetic fluids in a circular pipe with a vertical magnetic field and investigate the magnetic response by the external magnetic field. Theoretical study through the governing equation derived by Siliomis is carried out with numerical analysis by the Gauss Elimination Method. Using polar and magnetic effect parameters, theoretical equations and distributions for the velocity, apparent viscosity as the magnetic response are shown. Especially, in the region of strong magnetic field the specific property is appeared by finding a critical magnetic effect parameter for a polar effect parameter.

  • Strawberry pulp was separated into serum and insoluble pulp by centrifugation and the serum was concentrated in vacuo to five folds at 55~58$^{\circ}C$ and 30~60mmHg. Concentrated strawberry pulp was prepared by mixing of concentrated serum and insoluble pulp. To evaluate the quality changes of straw-berry pulp, color, physicochemical and sensory properties were analyzed after concentration and during 18 weeks storage at -18'2. The results obtained from the study were as follows : during 18 weeks storage at - l8$^{\circ}C$, soluble solid, browning, reducing sugar content were increased and total anthocyanin, vitamin C, apparent viscosity were decreased. The result of sensory evaluation indicated that texture of concentrated pulp was inferior to that of control but flavor, color intensity and overall acceptance were not different from each other.
