For increasing productivity of micro electrochemical machining (MECM), the application of multiple electrodes was introduced. The electrodes were fabricated by reverse electrical discharge machining (REDM). By REDM micro electrodes with various shapes can be machined easily. According to capacitance and applied voltage, machining characteristics of reverse EDM were investigated and the optimal conditions for stable machining were suggested. By using multiple electrodes and a channel-shape electrode, holes and channels were machined on stainless steel by ECM.

The modular self-wiping co-rotating twin screw extruder (SWCOR) has become the most important of twin screw machines. Screw design is one of the most important factors in determining performance of screw extruder. The screw flight and screw channel geometry of SWCOR is determined by the screw diameter, centerline distance, helix angle, and flights number. The maximum allowable throughput rate on a twin screw extruder is determined by a combination of free volume and available specific torque. In this paper we designed geometrical parameters of extruder screw and presented optimal specific torque value in K=1.55, and then developed screw design program for the screw cutting by the use of JAVA API in the twin screw extruder.

The complex nature of low flow mixing in natural channels has been investigated using both laboratory experiments and the numerical solution of a proposed mathematical model that is based on a set of mass balance equations describing the mixing and mass exchange mechanisms. Laboratory experiments, which involved collection of channel geometry, hydraulic, and dye dispersion test data, were conducted in a model of four pool and riffle sequences in a 49-m long tilting flume. The experimental results show that flow over the model pool-riffle sequences is highly non-uniform. Concentration-time curves are significantly skewed with long tails. Comparison between measured and predicted concentration-time curves shows good agreement in the general shape, peak concentration and time to peak. The proposed model shows significant improvement over the conventional one-dimensional dispersion model in predicting natural mixing processes in open channels under low flow conditions through pools and riffles.

The Partial breakdown (PBD) and complete breakdown (BD) voltage characteristics in a composite insulation system of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) and liquid nitrogen are investigated to find the PBB and BD characteristics in solenoid type high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils at quench. The electrode system used is made from a coaxial spiral coil-to-cylindrical electrode with an insulation barrier and spacers, and is immersed in liquid nitrogen. A heater is mounted inside the coil electrode to generate boiling which occurs on quenched superconducting coils. The experimental results show that: (1) breakdown voltages are affected severely by the risetime of the applied voltage and the PBD inception voltage, (2) two kinds of BD mechanisms are found depending on the shape of the spacer, length of cooling channel and heater power.

In the present work, a numerical study of fluid flow and heat transfer on the concave surface with impinging jet has been performed by solving three-dimensional Reynods-averaged Naver-Stokes(RANS) equations. The constant temperature condition was applied to the concave impingement surface. The inclination angle of jet nozzle and the distance between jet nozzles are chosen as design variables under equivalent mass flow rate of working fluid into cooling channel, and area averaged Nusselt number on concave impingement surface is set as the objective function. Thirteen training points are obtained by Latin Hypercube sampling method, and the PEA model is constructed by using the objective function values at the trainging points. And, the sequential quadratic programming is used to search for the optimal paint from the PBA model. Through the optimization, the optimal shape shows improved heat transfer rate as compared to the reference geometry.

In this study, we experimentally investigated that the optimization of pulsating jet to reduce the separated flow region behind the vertical fence. The vertical fence was submerged in the turbulent boundary layer in the circulating water channel and we applied phase averaged PIV method to measure the instantaneous velocity fields around the fence. One cycle of pulsating jet is divided into 20 phases and grabbed total 200 instantaneous velocity fields at each phase. The experiments were performed by varying the frequency, maximum jet velocity and the shape of pulsating jet wave. Pulsating jet was precisely made by piston-type pump controlled by the computer. The obtained results were compared with normal fence flow. From this study, we found there is the specific frequency which is effective in reducing the reattachment region.

An investigation on the fully developed heat transfer and friction factor characteristics has been made in rectangular ducts with one-side roughened by five different shapes. The effects of rib shape geometries as well as Reynolds numbers are examined. The rib height-to-duct hydraulic diameter, pitch-to-height ratio, and aspect ratio of channel width to height are fixed at e/De=0.0476, P/e=8, and W/H=2.33, respectively. To understand the characteristics of heat transfer enhancements, the friction factors are also measured. The data indicates that the triangular type rib has a substantially higher heat transfer performance than any other ones.

Five benthic species of the genus Gambierdiscus (Dinophyceae) were observed for the first time in the coastal waters of Pakistan, Northern Indian Ocean. The morphology of the epiphytic, ciguatera-related toxic species G. toxicus, G. belizeanus, G. polynesiensis, G. australes and G. cf. yasumotoi are presented here, described by the Kofoid system of thecal plates Po, 3', 7", 6c, 8s, 5"', 1p, 2"" with differences in cell shape, cell size, plates, pores around the apical pore plate by using light and scanning electron microscopy. The occurrence of these potentially toxic dinoflagellate species in Pakistani coastal areas of Manora Channel and Balochistan during high temperatures of 28-$32^{\circ}C$ is cause of concern for human health impacts from ciguatera fish poisoning.

In general there occur warpage in one way long part. Warpage is caused by differential shrinkage-Orientation Effect, Volumetric Shrinkage Effect, Differential Cooling Effect -over the part. Deco-Top is located at the top of 29"TV set and it's shape is one way long$(626{\times}130mm)$. Material is used transparency ABS resin. So we can't design ribs in this part. And we use film gate to avoid weld line. In these reasons we must develop no ribs and no warpage product. In this study we use MOLDFLOW's software-MF/FLOW, MF/COOL, MF/WARP. Using MF/FLOW, set the flow balance and gate positioning. And we can set cooling channel layout and the optimum processing condition through MF/COOL and MF/WARP. In result we reduced trials and obtained good product.

The bio-micro pin has been usually used for the biochemistry analysis. The manufacturing capability of the micro-pin and the their array with the effective and low-cost way is very important and it gives great economical benefits to developers. The micro-pin is composed of the sample channel for holding the liquid with the fixed volume, the flat tip which determines the printing quality and the pin head for preventing the rotation of the pin in the holder. In this study, we have manufactured newly designed micro-pins by the wire-EDM process with special jigs, and analyzed liquid holding and printing characteristics with respect to the variation of the shape and the tip size of the micro-pin.
