The piston reservoir is mainly used in hydraulic blow-down system for aerospace engineering. The reservoir is heavy due to both hydraulic cylinder and piston in pressurization. The positive expulsion tank with rubber diaphragm has been mostly applied propellant and fuel tank at low pressure to satellites. To reduce weight, the reservoir that can be used at high pressure with rubber diaphragm was developed. In this research, the prediction of life-time for the rubber diaphragm was implemented through an accelerated life test, as a part of development of new reservoir. Also, the diaphragm was stored in an temperature chamber at the same condition as and operation with hydraulic oil. As a result, the life-time for a rubber diaphragm was successfully evaluated via Arrhenius law and Time-Temperature Superposition based on failure times over temperatures in the accelerated test.

Stirling cryocooler is relatively compact, reliable, commercially available. and uses helium as a working fluid. Over the past decade and a half, there has been rapid development of Stirling cryocooler, mainly for military and space applications. Stirling cryocoolers have been widely used lot the cooling of infrared sensors and high temperature superconducting filters to the temperature of the liquid nitrogen. The Stirling cryocooler with the rotary compressor is applicable to the cooling device for the compact mobile thermal imaging system, because the cryocoolers have the compact structure and light weight. In this paper, integral Stirling cryocooler is designed, manufactured and fabricated, and performance characteristics are investigated. This cooler delivers approximately 0.6W cooling at 80K for 20W of input power from 24V DC power supply.

This study is to research the heat transfer characteristics in copper-water heat pipes with screen wick, #100. Recently, the semiconductor capacity of an electronic unit has been larger, on the contrary, its size is smaller than before. As a result, a high-performance cooling system is needed. Experimental variables are inclination angle and temperature of cooling water. The distilled water was used for the working fluid. At a inclination angle ${-6}^{\circ}$, #100 2layer screen mesh is shown the best heat transfer performance.

The refractory-lined pipe is used to protect the system from high-temperature of the internal flow. The property of the refractory has an effect upon the stress analysis for fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) unit piping design. The equivalent elastic modulus and density considering steel and refractory must be applied in the stress analysis of the system. In the research, the theoretical method to obtain the value of the equivalent property is introduced and then the parametric analysis is carried out to understand the characteristic of the material properties, and the stress analysis is performed with reactor, the part of FCC unit.

In this study, the shape of plate-fin type heat sink is numerically optimized to acquire the minimum pressure drop under the required temperature rise. To do this, a new sequential approximate optimization (SAO) is proposed and it is integrated with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In thermal/fluid systems for constrained nonlinear optimization problems, three fundamental difficulties such as high cost for function evaluations (i.e., pressure drop and thermal resistance), the absence of design sensitivity information, and the occurrence of numerical noise are confronted. To overcome these problems, the progressive quadratic response surface method (PQRSM), which is one of the sequential approximate optimization algorithms, is proposed and the heat sink is optimize by means of the PQRSM.

Generally, the kerosene or the deionized water has been used for dielectric fluid in the electrical discharge machining. The spark occurs when the voltage is over the breakdown voltage and induces high temperature. In this study, the Oxygen gas is used as the dielectric. The voltage behavior in the dry Micro Electrical discharge machining is compared with that of the conventional Micro Electrical discharge machining. The dry Micro EDM has some advantages. The electrode wear isvery smaller than that of the conventional Micro EDM. The contamination in the dry Micro EDM can be drastically reduced comparing to that of the conventional Micro EDM. The Oxygen gas can be replaced as the dielectric successfully.

Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are fluids used during machining and grinding to prolong the life of the tool, carry away debris, and protect the surfaces of work pieces. These fluids reduce friction between the cutting tool and the work surface, reduce wear and galling, protect surface characteristics, reduce surface adhesion or welding and carry away generated heat. Workers can be exposed to MWFs by inhaling aerosols (mists) and by skin contact with the fluid. Skin contact occurs by dipping the hands into the fluid, splashes, or handling workpieces coated with the fluids. The amount of mist generated (and the resulting level of exposure) depends on many factors. To reduce the environmental pollution wastes and the potential health risks associated with occupational exposures to MWFs, it is required to establish optimum MWFs supply method and condition with minimum quantity in all over the mechanical machining field including high-speed type heavy cutting process.

Characteristics of high temperature rocket nozzle flow is discussed along with the aspects of computational analysis. Three methods of nozzle flow analysis, frozen-equilibrium, shifting-equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches, were discussed, those were coupled with the methods of computational fluid dynamics code. A chemical equilibrium code developed for the analysis of general hydrocarbon fuel was coupled with three approaches of nozzle flow analysis. The approaches were used for the performance prediction of KSR-III Rocket, and compared with the theoretical results from NASA CEA (Chemical Equilibrium with Applications) code.

The effects of diffuser shapes on the flowfields of a small-size turbo-compressor have been investigated numerically and experimentally. The optimal design of elements shapes is important to develop the high efficiency turbo-compressor. Typical range of rotating speed for a small-size turbo-compressor is 40,000-70,000rpm. Numerical analyses were conducted to the rectangular and conical shapes of diffuser Three-dimensional, steady and viscous governing equations were solved by SIMPLE algorithm. To confirm the numerical results, the experimental measurements for the static pressure and temperature at the inlet and outlet boundaries were performed. Comparisons of these results were done, and the reasonable agreements were acquired.

The steel pipe for fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) unit. petroleum refinery, is lined with refractory to protect the system from high-temperature of the internal flow. The property of the refractory has an effect upon the stress analysis of FCC unit. Because 1-D pipe element or 3-D shell element are usually used in commercial codes of stress analysis to evaluate the structural soundness, the equivalent elastic modulus considering steel and refractory should be applied. In the research, the theoretical method to obtain the value of the equivalent property is introduced and then the stress analysis is carried out with the part of FCC unit.
