  • In this study, investigation and appraisal method for the scene of a fire according to electrical fire hazards of hair dryer which is usually used at living space are presented. Hair dryer is briefly composed of heating part, wind part and control part. Electrical fire hazards of hair dryer are insulation destruction of power cord, ignition by overheat of heating coil, scattering spark on inside dust, overheat of motor by fan shackle, ignition by carelessness of user, and so on. Fire cause by hair dryer can be perceived through investigation about half-disconnection of power cord, contact badness of power plug, verification of heating coil, fan and switch. These results are expected to be utilized effectively in a countermeasure to prevent an electrical fire by hair dryer.

  • This study investigates thermal deformation due to fan shape of a hair dryer. In this study, thermal analysis showed that the shape of an electric fan results in lower temperature than that of a sieve frame. Among the shapes of electric fans, the temperature change decreases as the number of wings decreases. As a result of thermal deformation, model 4 (sieve frame shape) showed increased change of deformation compared to models 1, 2, and 3 (with electric fan shapes). Thus, the model 1 dryer with the sieve frame shape is shown to have the least durability among models 1, 2, 3, and 4. It is thought that the analysis results of this study can be applied to durability improvement and safer design of hair dryers.

  • This paper, A large hair dryer was developed to shorten the drying time of the user's hair. The mechanism that determines the strength and stability of large hair dryer products is 'motor'. In a typical hair dryer to determine the wind speed using a 5V or 12V DC motor, Outer air vents are also great ways to use a long time, power consumption by a single blow. But, In the case of large hair dryers using multiple blows, the aim is to reduce the power consumption by increasing the intensity of the wind speed in a short time. Looking at the simulation results of a typical hair dryer, It was found that women spent an average of 20 minutes and that large hair dryers took an average of 5 minutes. This paper, In order to shorten the average drying time, it is necessary to determine the efficiency of the motor, the blow position of the outer frame, and the power consumption and studied for product development. As a result of the research and simulation, the power consumption is 0.8 times, the wind speed is 1.5 times, and the drying time is about 5 minutes. Therefore, it was found that the large hair dryer developed in this study can maximize the user 's average drying time and the efficiency of the motor.

  • When shaving, it is easy to suffer shaving burns, that is, facial burn irritation during shaving. The reason is that the razor blade irritates the skin. The current solution is to make the razor sharper and use a razor with a blade heating function. Although these ways can increase the comfort of shaving, they will also greatly increase shaving costs. This paper proposes using a hairdryer to massage the skin before shaving to reduce skin irritation during shaving. This is a simple, practical and low-cost method. The hair dryer's heat, sound, and wind energy have a massage effect, and they can make shaving easier and more comfortable. For analyzing shaving effect, two evaluation methods are used, which are sound spectrum analysis and mos. The sound spectrum analysis is used to analyze the working status of the razor objectively. The MOS test can reflect the subjective feelings of the subject on the shaving's comfort. The results show that the hairdryer thermal vibration massage can make the beard easier to cut, thereby reducing the irritation of the razor to the skin and improving shaving comfort.

  • This study attempts to explore urban married women's needs for consumer information contents. In addition, the causality of the needs for consummer information contents and related variables is investigated. Major findings are the following: (1) Respondents' need for information on“the product selection”and “the use and management”of the washing maching or hair dryer is high, while the in need for the information on“the existing brands”is very low. (2) Among several relevent characteristics, respondents' product involvement is strongly related to the needs for consumer information contents. (3) The results of the analysis of casual model from washing maching showed that respondents' age, purchasing experience, perception of the price dispersion and quality difference, self confidence in the product evaluation affect on the need for consumer information contents directly. While respondents' income and education level show a indirect effect. (4) The results of the analysis of causal model from hair dryer showed that respondents' perception of the price dispersion, quality difference and product complexity affect on the need for consumer information contents directly. While respondents' age, purchasing experience, self-confidence in the product evaluation show a indirect effects.

  • The ultrastructure of damaged hair shaft from blow-drying at typical temperature $40{\sim}170^{\circ}C$ for daily beautiful face have been investigated by using transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. When we used to hair dryer for a long time in our everyday life, the following morphological alternations were found in hair. First, the partial of scales in outer cuticle were detached simultaneously with separation of intercellular membrane complex of cuticle cells. Then hair broke cuticle off and exposed to cortex. Secondly, the cortical cell in the cortex was fissured into its macrofibril. The melanin granules were scattered between macrofibrils. As a result, I confirmed that blow-drying removed the hair's bonded water and made hard on hair which lost elasticity. After all, hair showed irregular, rough surface and vanished its luster.

  • This paper describes a design of a hair drier to improve its performance. the performance of the hair drier can be improved by increasing the wind velocity of its discharge port. the design of the hair drier is accomplished by using the CFD. the validity of design results were verified by comparison with the dry change of the hair drier. In this paper, the initial condition of the applied hair drier is as follows, the number of the blade is 9, the diameter of the suction port is 40[mm], the tip clearance is 12.5[mm], the con angle is $28.5^{\circ}$ and the fan angle is 27.5R. From design results, the enhanced condition of the hair drier can be obtained as follows, the number of the blade is 3, the diameter of the suction port is 50[mm], the tip clearance is 10.5[mm], the con angle is $21.5^{\circ}$ and the fan angle is 75R. At the enhanced condition of the hair drier, the wind velocity of the hair drier is 29[%] increase, and the dry time is 40[%] increase compare to the initial condition of the hair drier.
