This Paper addresses to spray characteristics in w-shaped diesel engine combustion chamber which has impingement parts for 4 sprays injected from an injector. The two-dimensional shapes have been chosen to avoid the difficulties for analysing the spray dynamics in the real chamber. The simple shapes are reproduced with same geometries in vertical or horizontal sections through the impingement lands. The spray developments are visualized with a high speed drum camera and shadowgraphy optical system, and the droplet sizes are measured by Malvern system. The detailed discussions m made for the two different combustion chamber shapes, which are new w-shape using spray wall impaction and general w-shape. The results show that the spray characteristics of the new shape are superior to those of the general w-shape.

The market of the horizontal axis washing machine (drum washing machine) has been growing drastically in Korea by about 80% annually since 2000. As market grows fast, the customerTs demands concerning quality becomes more strict and various. Imbalance sensing is a key technology to reduce the NVH problem in a washing machine, because the laundry is time-variant and uncontrollable source of imbalance, which can cause more than 200kgf exciting force. In this paper, imbalance-sensing methods are briefly reviewed, new acceleration sensing circuits are examined, and finally the control algorithm of spinning process is proposed and validated.

In home appliances, electric energy is optimally controlled by using power electronics technology, creating a comfortable environment in terms of energy saving, low sound generation, and reduced time consumption. Usually simplicity and robustness make the three phase induction motor attractive for use in domestic appliance, including washing machines. Two main types of domestic washing machine have evolved. We focus on the front loading machine favored in Europe, which has a horizontal drum axis. The efficiency improvement in home appliances is very important for customers. Induction motor efficiency can be improved by means of loss reduction, which can be realized by motor selection and design, improvement of the waveforms supplied by power Inverter, utilizing a suitable control method. So this paper describes the architecture and feature of washing machine fed induction motor drive under minimizing losses vector control.

To meet demand of big capacity and high speed rotation for washing machine, more stress from bending and twisting are complexly loaded onto the shaft supporting the horizontal drum, causing problems in fracture strength and fatigue life. Also, Vibration occurs due to the frequency of the rotating parts. But, shaft has various design factors such as diameter and distance between bearings according to configuration of shaft, the optimal values can't be easily determined. Using a design of experiment (DOE) based on the FEM (Finite Element Method), which has several advantages such as less computing, high accuracy performance and usefulness, this study was performed investigating the interaction effect between the various design factor as well as the main effect of the each design factor under bending, twist and vibration and proposed optimum design using center composition method among response surface derived from regression equation of simulation-based DOE.

Celluose is an insoluble substrate, therefore, a proper mixing of the cellulose suspension is essential for an effective enzymatic hydrolysis. To study the effect of mixing motion of various enzyme reactors on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose, three distinct types of biroreator: vertical impeller type bioreator(VITB), horizontal paddle type bioreactor(HPTB), and tumbling drum type bioreactor(TDTB), were assembled and their performance was compared. The optimal agitation speed was 100rpm for VITB and HPTB, 200rpm for TDTB. The saccharification efficiency of each reactor was compared under the optimal agitation intensity. The highest degree of saccharification was achieved in the case of VITB, especially, at high cellulose concentration. The VITB seems to be the most suitable type of bioreactor that can maintain proper mixing pattern for effective enzyme reaction. In the view of energy consumption, the TDTB showed the lowest value: however, the energy consumption was rapidly increased at high concentration of celluose. To dertermine the most suitable type of bioreactor, the entire process, including substrate cost, substrate concentration, and feasibility of scale-up, needs to be evaluated.

There have been always some difficulties in target setting and conditioning of acoustic performances of the Korean traditional music hall due mainly to the lack of the information on the sound radiation characteristics of Korean musical sources. In this study, the radiation characteristics of four typical Korean traditional musical sources were investigated in precision and their usage was demonstrated: The selected musical sources were Gayageum (string), Daegeum (woodwind), Jango (drum), and Pansori Chang (vocal performance). Each sound source was located at the center of a semi-anechoic chamber and the directivity was determined by the measured sound pressure levels in every 10° angular position, for both vertical and horizontal directions. The directivity pattern of Gayageum varies from a uniform to a complex pattern having many side lobes with the increase of frequency. The main radiation of Daegeum is toward the upward direction. The directivity pattern of Jango is clearly a side-oriented one and the left direction intensity is sharper than its right side at low frequencies. For the Chang, the directivity pattern change from a uniform pattern to a frontally directed one as the frequency goes high. Measured directional and spectral characteristics of traditional Korean music sources were implemented into the computation of architectural acoustic measures for the Busan National Korean Traditional Music Hall which is under construction. Parameters such as RT, SPL, C80, IE, STI were calculated at two receiver positions by using a ray tracing technique. Significant differences in the acoustic measures at receiver positions were observed between the results in using the omni-directional source and the directional one. It is thought that the suggested source data and design method can be used as a basic reference in the future acoustic design of performance halls for the Korean traditional music.
