In this paper, the authors investigate theoretically the motion and longitudinal strength of ships among waves talking account of the effects of nonlinearities such as the hull shape, bottom emergence, and hydrodynamic impact. Incidentally the ship is treated as an elastic beam in heading wave condition regarding characteristics of slamming and whipping-according to the variation in the range of a quarter length of the ship forward and the increase of the elastic modes up to 4-th vibration mode were investigated by the present theory. Calculations are performed for 97m container ship and its validity is confirmed by a series of model tests. Conclusions obtained are as follows; 1) Acceleration and pressure estimated by the present theory are in good accordance with experiments. 2) The present non-linear theory may be applied for estimating longitudinal bending moment of ships in slamming and whipping conditions. 3) In investigation of the characteristic in response according to shape variation for parts under draft and vow-flare in the range of a quarter length of the ship forward, dynamic responses due to the former were much more conspicuous than those due to the later. 4) In the maximum bending moment, the considering case up to 2-the mode are larger, about $10{\sim}15%$, than that up to 4-th mode.

Flow condensation heat transfer coefficients(HTCs) of R123 and R245fa are measured in a horizontal plain tube. The main test section in the experimental flow loop is made of a plain copper tube of 9.52 mm outside diameter and 530 mm length. The refrigerant is cooled by passing cold water through an annulus surrounding the test section. Tests are performed at a fixed saturation temperature of $50\;{\pm}\;0.2\;^{\circ}C$ with mass fluxes of 50, 100, $150\;kg/m^2s$ and heat flux of $7.3{\sim}7.7\;kW/m^2$. Heat transfer data are obtained in the vapor quality range of $10{\sim}90%$. Test results show that the flow condensation HTCs of R245fa are overall 7.9% higher than those of R123 at all mass fluxes. The pressure drop of R245fa is smaller than that of R123 at the same heat flux. In conclusion, R245fa is a good candidate to replace ozone depleting R123 currently used in chillers from the view point heat transfer and environmental properties.

In this study, FDD algorithm was developed using the normalized distance method and general pattern classifier method that can be applied to constant air volume air handling unit(CAV AHU) system. The simulation model using TRNSYS and EES was developed in order to obtain characteristic data of CAV AHU system under the normal and the faulty operation. Sensitivity analysis of fault detection was carried out with respect to fault progress. When differential pressure of mixed air filter increased by more than about 105 pascal, FDD algorithm was able to detect the fault. The return air temperature is very important measurement parameter controlling cooling capacity. Therefore, it is important to detect measurement error of the return air temperature. Measurement error of the return air temperature sensor can be detected at below $1.2^{\circ}C$ by FDD algorithm. FDD algorithm developed in this study was found to indicate each failure modes accurately.

Exhaust gas recirculation has the advantage of being low-cost and easy to control of NOx emission. Therefore, it is most generally used to reduce NOx emission according to strengthen regulation. In the case of a non-road engine, such as the agricultural engine, since it mainly operate a middle or high-load state, NOx emission is decreased in accordance with the mapping range of the EGR rate, but results in an increase in the particulate matter which is caused to deposit and fouling problem of the EGR system. This problem has become an important issue for maintaining the performance of the engine, as well as emission performance. This study had examined the effects of cooler aging on the performance of heat transfer efficiency and NOx emission in non-road diesel engine. As a result of the EGR cooler aging during 200 hours engine operation, the cooling performance decreased about 25% compared with that of fresh cooler and the NOx emission increased about 14.6% on NRSC(non-road steady cycle) and 20% on NRTC(non-road transient cycle) compared with that of fresh cooler respectively.

In family mold, defects are frequently occurred by an excessive packing the smaller volume cavity during molding. Although runner size could be optimized by CAE analysis or experimental data, the filling imbalance is hardly avoided in the actual injection molding process by various means. Before this study, we developed a variable-runner system for balancing the cavity-filling for three resins (ABS, LDPE, and PA66) in the family-mold, and examined the effect of cross-sectional area reduction of a runner in the system. In this study, we examined the conditions of the pressure and temperature in the system with a CAE analysis. We also analyzed the influence of the rheological characteristic of resins to the balancing-capability of the system in order to help mold designers easily adopt the variable-runner system to their design.

Method of characteristic(MOC) has been widely used as a transient analysis technique for pressurized pipeline systems. There are substantial studies using MOC for the water hammer triggered through instantaneous valve closures, pump stoppage and pump startup for pipelines systems equipped with a centrifugal pump. Considering restrictions of MOC associated with courant number condition for complicated pipeline systems, an impulse response method(IRM) was developed in the frequency domain. this study implements the impact of centrifugal pump using transfer function in frequency domain approach. Using pump performance curve and the affinity law, this study formulated transfer functions which relate complex pressure head at upstream of pump system to that of downstream location. Simulations of simple reservoir-pump-valve system using IRM with formulated transfer function were similar to those obtained through MOC.

To develop timely an optimal fan, a design system and a new manufacturing process used step by step have to be integrated. A small sized optimal fan for refrigerators, that was the goal on this project, was developed by the following principal processes. All processes are technologically linked in many directions: The existing fan was measured through reverse engineering. The measured data was used for the basic source of 3D design. The performance tests were carried and used as the data for the evaluation of the existing fan. Flow analysis by FANS-3D/sup [1]/ was performed at the given information (pressure drop and flow rate) to find out the configuration of optimal fan design. The flow patterns were investigated to measure the performance of fan through numerical experiment. The grid point data obtained by the above analysis turned into 3D high efficiency fan model by using CATIA. The product was manufactured by RP process (SLS, SLA) and tested the characteristic curves of the developed fan to compare with the existing fan. The modification of fan design were all examined to see any change in performance and checked to find any deficiency in assembling the fan into a duct. After the plastics flow analysis of the injection molding cycle to ensure acceptable quality fan, an optimal mold was processed by using tool-path for the newly designed fan.
