Naphthalene sublimation technique is used to investigate the average and local heat transfer from the circular rod, and to determine the average and local heat transfer from the circular rod with and without square wing type mixing vane in axial flow. The experiments are performed for a circular rod and flat plate with and without mixing vane in wind tunnel. In comparison with flat plate and circular rod in axial flow, averaged Nusselts number is increased 2 times as the increase of Reynolds number with mixing vane. Longitudinal vortex induced by square wing type has the stronger vortex strength, so square wing type vortex generator shows an effect further in downstream.

Numerical solutions to complex characteristic equations are quite often required to solve electromagnetic wave problems. In general, two traditional complex root search algorithms, the Newton-Raphson method and the Muller method, are used to produce such solutions. However, when utilizing these two methods, the choice of the initial iteration value is very sensitive, otherwise, the iteration can fail to converge into a solution. Thus, as an alternative approach, where the selection of the initial iteration value is more relaxed and the computation speed is high, Davidenko's method is used to determine accurate complex propagation constants for leaky circular symmetric modes in circular dielectric rod waveguides. Based on a precise determination of the complex propagation constants, the leaky mode characteristics of several lower-order circular symmetric modes are then numerically analyzed. In addition, no modification of the characteristic equation is required for the application of Davidenko's method.

The vibrational characteristics of nonuniform circular rods have been studied theoretically and experimentally in this paper. The differential equation of torsional motion expressed in terms of the angular displacement has been solved exactly and approximately for a stepped circular rod and for a conically-tapered rod. Solutions of the boundary-value problem have yielded the natural frequencies, mode shapes and forced responses of the rods. The theoretical solutions of forced response have been verified by comparing them with experimental ones.

The leaky dispersion characteristics of a circular dielectric rod were investigated using Davidenko's method for several lower-order transverse magnetic(TM) modes. The normalized complex propagation constants were precisely determined and their tolerances below $10^{-10}$ compared with zero for both real and imaginary parts. It was also checked whether the normalized complex propagation constants obtained represented forward leaky waves. The leaky modes existing below the cutoff frequency of the guided mode were classified as a nonphysical mode, reactive mode, antenna mode, and spectral gap based on a precise determination of the complex propagation constants. Finally, the effects of the dielectric constant and radius of the dielectric rod on the leaky dispersion characteristics were also considered.

Torsional characteristics of nonuniform circular waveguides were studied experimentally by using an in-plane laser vibrometer. The circumferential displacement along the axis of a rod was measured as a response of the torsional oscillation excited at one end of the rod. The experimental results obtained for a stepped circular rod and a conically-tapered rod were compared with theoretical predictions. The results of this paper show the possibility of using the in-plane laser vibrometer for the measurement of torsional vibrations.

For the successful design of nuclear reactor, it is very important to investigate thermal-hydraulic characteristics of fuel rod bundle. Fluid flow and heat transfer in the non-circular cross-section of nuclear fuel rod bundle are different from those found in common circular tube. And complex three dimensional flow including secondary and vortex flow, is formed around the bundles. The purpose of this research is to examine how geometries and flow conditions affect heat transfer in fuel rod bundle. Design data for nuclear fuel rod bundle and structure are surveyed, and $3{\times}3$ sub-channel model is adopted in this study. Computational results are compared with the heat transfer data measured by naphthalene sublimation method, and numerical analysis and evaluation are performed at various design conditions and flow conditions.

The paper describes a theoretical study on the speed of torsional elastic waves propagating in a circular rod whose material properties vary periodically as harmonic functions of the axial coordinate. An approximate solution for the phase speed has been obtained by using the perturbation technique for sinusoidal modulation of small amplitude. This solution shows that the wave speed in the nonuniform rod is dependent on the wave frequency as well as the periodic variation of the material properties. It implies that the torsional waves considered in this paper are dispersive even in the fundamental mode.

The offects of a small control rod (d=3mm) located near a main circular cylinder on the drag reduction and wake structure modification were investigated. The location of the small control rod mounted on a rod-like spring is self-adjusting according to the wake structure far optimal control of the flow around the main cylinder. The experiments were carried out at the Reynolds numbers based on the cylinder diameter (D=50mm) in the range $Re_{D}=1{\times}10^4{\~}6{\times}10^4$. Mean velocity and turbulent statistics were measured with varying the angle along the cylinder circumference ${\Theta}=15^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}$ and the distance between the main and control rods L =0.7, 1. Compared with the bare cylinder, the main circular cylinder with the fixed and self-adjusting rods reduced drag coefficient by $10{\%}$ at the angle of ${\Theta}=45^{\circ}$. For the main cylinder with self-adjusting rot as the Reynolds numbers increase, the streamwise mean velocity is increased, however, the turbulence intensity is decreased. In addition, the control rods tested in this study are effective at higher Reynolds number than at lower Reynolds number.

Leaky modes on a circular dielectric rod are investigated from the precisely determined normalized complex propagation constants using Davidenko's complex root finding technique. Below the cutoff frequency of the guided mode, distinct frequency regions that have unique properties are observed, such as nonphysical region, antenna mode region, reactive mode region, and spectral gap region. The effects of tro design parameters, dielectric constants and the radius of the rod, to the leaky mode characteristics are also considered.

In this paper, we made a Singly Fed patch which is the fittest at the feeding part. And we found out return loss and radiation pattern about dielectric rod array antenna which has six's passive element to shape FTEP(Flat-topped element pattern) after we analyzed the characters of singly dielectric rod antenna. We show the conclusion that has the optimum return loss and more flat radiation pattern.
