The effects of accelerated Ultraviolet (UV) radiation on High temperature vulcanized (HTV), Room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber and two types of ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) used for composite insulator were investigated by hydrophobicity class (HC), surface voltage decay after corona charging, SEM-ES, FTIR and XPS. The contact angle in two kinds of silicone rubber was scarcely change, but EPDM occurred to the loss of hydrophobicity followed by surface cracking and chalking. The surface voltage decay on UV-treated silicone rubber and EPDM showed a different decay trend with UV treatment. EDS and XPS analysis indicated that the oxygen content increased with UV treatment time in all samples. For silicone rubber, the oxidized groups of inorganic silica-like structure increased with UV treatment time. The oxidized carbon of C=O, O=C-O in EPDM increased. These oxidized surface for each material had different electrostatic characteristics, so deposited charges were expected to have different impacts on their surface hydrophobicity. The degradation mechanism based on our results was discussed.

The ignition delay of a dual fuel system has been numerically investigated by adopting a constant volume chamber as a model problem simulating diesel engine relevant conditions. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, consisting of 28 species and 135 elementary reactions, of dimethyl ether (DME) with methane ($CH_{4}$) sub-mechanism has been used in conjunction with the multi-dimensional reactive flow KIVA-3V code to simulate the autoignition process. The start of ignition was defined as the moment when the maximum temperature in the combustion vessel reached to 1900 K with which a best agreement with existing experiment was achieved. Ignition delays of liquid DME injected into air at various high pressures and temperatures compared well with the existing experimental results in a combustion bomb. When a small quantity of liquid DME was injected into premixtures of $CH_{4}$/air, the ignition delay times of the dual fuel system are longer than that observed with DME only, especially at higher initial temperatures. The variation in the ignition delay between DME only and dual fuel case tend to be constant for lower initial temperatures. It was also found that the predicted values of the ignition delay in dual fuel operation are dependent on the concentration of the gaseous $CH_{4}$ in the chamber charge and less dependent on the injected mass of DME. Temperature and equivalence ratio contours of the combustion process showed that the ignition commonly starts in the boundary at which near stoichiometric mixtures could exists. Parametric studies are also conducted to show the effect of additive such as hydrogen peroxide in the ignition delay. Apart from accurate predictions of ignition delay, the coupling between multi-dimensional flow and multi-step chemistry is essential to reveal detailed features of the ignition process.

YBCO산화물초전도체의 고온변형 특성을 조사하기 위하여 $890^{\circ}C$ ~ $930^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 $1.0 x 10^{-5}s^{-1}\sim 1.0^{-4}s^{-1}$의초기변형속도로 압축시험을 수행하였다. 변형온도가 증가함에 따라 또한 초기변형속도가 감소함에 따라 flow stress는 감소하였다. 변형률속도 민감지수는 0.41-0.46이었다. 이는 초소성 변형이 일어났음을 보여준다. 초소성변형에 대한 활성화 에너지는 약 500 ~ 580KJ/mol이었으며 Ag첨가량이 증가할수록 활성화에너지는 감소하였다. 초소성변형된 시편들의 미세조직 관찰결과 변형중에 결정립 성장이 일어났으며 Ag양이 증가함에 따라 이러한 현상을 뚜렷하였다. 변형후 결정립 형태는 등축상을 유지하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼때, YBCO 초전도체의고온변형기구는 확산을 동반한 결정립계 미끄러짐으로써 그 비율은 전 변형량중 약 65%정도였다.

Pneumatic cylinders are widely used to actuators in automatic equipments because they are relatively inexpensive, simple to install and maintain, offer robust design and operation, are available in a wide range of standard sizes and design alternatives. This paper presents a comparative study among the dynamic characteristics of meter-out and meter-in speed control of pneumatic cushion cylinders with a relief valve type cushion mechanism. Because of the nonlinear differential equations and a requirement for simultaneous iterative solution in a mathematical model of a double acting pneumatic cushion cylinder, a computer simulation is carried out to investigate pressure, temperature, mass flow rate in cushion chamber and displacement and velocity time histories of piston under various operating conditions. It is found that the piston velocity and pressure response in meter-in speed control are more oscillatory than with meter-out those when pneumatic cushion cylinders are driven at a high-speed. In meter-out speed control, the effective area of the flow control valve is larger than that of meter-in, and the supply pressure has to be much higher than the pressure required to move the load because it has also to overcome the back pressure in cushion chamber.

The purpose of this study is to analyze heterogeneous distribution of branch-like structure at downstream region of inner spray. The previous many studies about diesel spray structure have yet stayed in the analysis of 2-D structure, and there are very few of informations which are concerned with 3-D analysis of the structure. The heterogeneous distribution of droplets in inner spray affects the mixture formation of diesel spray, and also the combustion characteristics of the diesel engines. Therefore, in order to investigate 3-D structure of evaporative spray the laser beam of 2-D plane was used in this study. Liquid fuel was injected from a single-hole nozzle (l/d=5) into a constant-volume vessel under high pressure and temperature in order to visualize the spray phenomena. The incident laser beam was offset on the central axis. From the images analysis taken by offset of laser beam, we examine formation mechanism of heterogeneous distribution by vortex flow at the downstream of the diesel spray. As the experimental results, the branch-like structure formed heterogeneous distribution of the droplets consists of high concentration of vapor phase in the periphery of droplets and spray tip of branch-like structure. Also the 3-D spatial structure of the evaporative diesel spray can be verified by images obtained from 2-D measurement methods.

Nucleate pool boiling experiments for R11 under a constant wall temperature condition were carried out. A microscale heater array was used for the heating and the measurement of high temporal and spatial resolution by the Wheatstone bridge circuit. Very sensitive heat flow rate data were obtained by the control for the surface condition with high time resolution. The measured heat flow rate shows a discernable peak at the initial growth stage and reaches an almost constant value. In the thermal growth region, bubble shows a growth proportional to $t^{\frac{1}{5}}$. The bubble growth behavior is analyzed with a dimensionless parameter to compare with the previous results in the same scale. As the wall superheat increases, the departure diameter and the departure time increase, and the waiting time decreases. But the asymptotic growth rate is not affected by the wall superheat change. The effect of the wall superheat is resolved into the suggested growth equation. Dimensionless parameters of time and bubble radius characterize the thermal growth behavior well, irrespective of wall condition. The comparison between the result of this study and the previous results shows a good agreement at the thermal growth region. The quantitative analysis for the heat transfer mechanism is conducted with the measured heat flow rate behavior and the bubble growth behavior. The required heat flow rate for the volume change of the observed bubble is about twice as much as the instantaneous heat flow rate supplied from the wall.

Molten zinc plating is a process in which zinc is thinly coated over a metallic or non-metallic surface. It is used in various industrial fields for corrosion resistance and decoration. During the process, a steel sheet is passed through a roll that rotates inside the molten zinc liquid in the temperature range of $460^{\circ}C$ to $680^{\circ}C$, and the plating liquid flows into the roll causing abrasion and erosion of the roll surface. This problem is known to accelerate the replacement cycle of the roll and cause considerable economic loss owing to production line stoppage. Here, we propose a mechanism that operates at high temperature and pressure with a labyrinth type seal design to resolve this problem. We theoretically investigate the flow of the plating solution inside the seal and compute the minimum rotation speed required to prevent the plating solution from entering the seal chamber. In addition, we calculate the thermal deformation of the seal during operation and display thermally deformed dimensions at high temperatures. To verify the theoretical results, we perform experiments using pilot test equipment working in the actual plating environment. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical results. We expect our results to contribute towards the extension of the roll's life span and thereby reduce the economic losses.

Although there are many numerical models to simulate fs laser ablation of metals, no model can analyze the ablation phenomena over a wide range of fluence. In this work, a numerical code for simulating the fs laser ablation phenomena of metals has been developed. The two temperature model is employed to predict the ablation rate and the crater shape of metals using phase explosion mechanism in the relatively high fluence regime. Also, the ultrashort thermoelastic model is used for the low fluence regime to account for spallation of the sample by high strain rate. It has been demonstrated that the thermoelastic stress generated within the sample can exceed the yield stress of the material even near the threshold fluence. Numerical computation results are compared with the experiment for Cu and Ni and show good agreement. Discussions are made on the hydrodynamic model considering phase change and hydrodynamic flow.

A series of computational analyses was performed to predict the cooling process by the cooling channel of preburners used for kerosene-liquid oxygen staged combustion cycle rocket engines. As an oxygen-rich combustion occurs in the kerosene fueled preburner, it is of great importance to control the wall temperature so that it does not exceed the critical temperature. However, since the heat transfer is proportional to the speed of fluid running inside the channel, the high heat transfer leads to a trade-off of pressure loss. For this reason, it is necessary to establish a certain criteria between the pressure loss and the heat transfer or the wall surface temperature. The design factors of the cooling channel were determined by the computational research, and a test model was manufactured. The test model was used for the hot fire tests to prove the function of the cooling mechanism, among other purposes.

고효율 싸이클론의 설계는 압력강하의 최소화와 집진효율의 최대화를 이루는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 고온, 고압 조건하에서 신뢰성 있는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하여 싸이클론의 집진효율에 영향을 주는 물리적 메카니즘을 연구하는 것이다. 수치 해석적 연구를 통한 고온, 고압 조건에서의 압력강하 계산은 실험데이터와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 온도와 압력은 일반적으로 집진효율에 중요한 영향을 미치는데 보통 항력에서 가스의 밀도나 점도 등에 영향을 주어서로 상반되는 결과를 나타낸다. 그러므로 고온 운전에 따른 집진효율의 감소는 고압 조건으로 운전하는 것이 대안이 될 것으로 판단된다. 집진효율에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 좀 더 세부적인 연구를 위하여 접선방향 속도나 보텍스 파인더의 직경 등과 같은 싸이클론의 설계변수나 운전변수에 따른 연구를 수행하였다. 예상한 바와 같이 접선방향의 속도가 집진효율에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 그리고 보텍스 파인더의 직경이 증가할수록 집진효율은 감소하였으며 보텍스 파인더의 길이는 집진효율에 큰 영향을 나타내지 않았다.
