In the present study, the performance of a PF heat exchanger for heat pump dryer was investigated. Capacity and dehumidification amount of the PF heat exchangers(PF1, PF2, PF3) by different inclination angles($0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$) were studied. Experimental conditions were an air velocity crossing to the heat exchanger(0.5m/s), an air dry-bulb temperature($60^{\circ}C$) and relative humidity(70%). The experimental results have shown that the performance of the inclined PF heat exchangers was better than that of the vertically installed one. PF3 showed better performance compared to PF1 and PF2 due to the large pin pitch which are leading to more draining for dehumidified water. But, capacity and dehumidification amount of the PF heat exchanger at the inclination angles of $60^{\circ}$ was decreased due to pressure drop. Also, to predict the experimental data of the PF heat exchanger, the performance program was developed for the inclination angles of $0^{\circ}$. PF heat exchanger performance between experiment data and calculation data was satisfied within the maximum 2% for capacity and 3% for dehumidification amount.

In order to investigate the stabilizing effect of nails against sliding, a series of model tests were carried out. The apparatus of model test was designed to perform the model test of soil slope reinforced by nails. The instrumentation system was used to measure the deflection behavior of nails during slope failure. As a result of model tests, the quantity and the occurred position of the maximum bending stress are changed according to the area ratio and the inclination angles of nails. The maximum stabilizing effect against sliding of nails is presented at 0.7$\%$ of the area ratio because the biggest maximum bending stress occurs at this time. But, the stabilizing effect of nails decreases with more than 0.7$\%$ of the area ratio. In the same condition of the area ratio, the stabilizing effect of nails is excellent at -10$^{circ}$ of the inclination angles of nails. The sliding surface can be predicted on the basis of the position of the maximum bending stress in each nails. The shape and depth of sliding surface are changed according to the area ratio and the inclination angles of nails.

The present paper presents the experimental results for pressure drop in inclined tube bundles located in a rectangular duct. Measurements are made for pressure drop in triangular and rotated triangular tube arrays having P/d ratio of 1.6 and inclination angles of 30,45,60 and 90 degrees. The Reynolds number based on the free stream velocity and tube diameter ranges from $8{\times}10^2\;to\;6.3{\times}10^{4}$. The experimental results show that the magnitude of dimensionless pressure drop decreases significantly when the inclined angle is less than 45 degree. The measured data are compared with two existing correlations available in the literatures. The ESDU correlation agrees well with the present data far the triangular arrays. But some discrepancies are observed for the rotated triangular arrays when the inclined angles are 30 and 45 degrees. The Idel'chik correlation generally agrees well with the measured data for the rotated triangular arrays except for the inclined angle of 30 degree. The Idel'chik correlation needs modification for the triangular arrays. The modified Idel'chik correlation agrees well with the measured data within $10{\%}$. It is found that the present measured data can be applied to the evaluation and modification of previous correlations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the internal structure of the impinged diesel spray at various experimental conditions. To examine the effect of various factors on the development of a diesel spray impinging on the wall, experiments were conducted at the various Injection pressures, wall distances from the nozzle tip and angles of wall inclination. The PIV system consists of a double pulsed Nd:YAG laser was utilized to analyze the internal flow structure of impinged diesel sprays. The velocity fields from the PIV system were compared with the results measured by the phase Doppler particle analyzer(PDPA)system. The results show that internal flow pattern of the impinged spray was similar with the results from the PDPA system. The radial velocity of the impinged spray was increased with the increase in the injection pressure and near the nozzle-wall distance. The generation of vortex was also promoted with the Increase in angles of wall inclination.

A study was conducted on a tubular heat exchanger to improve its heat transfer rate by using a novel baffle plate design with discontinuous swirling patterns. The design consisted of perforated baffle plates with rectangular air deflectors positioned at varying angles. The tubes in the heat exchanger were arranged in a consistent alignment with the airflow direction and exposed to a uniform heat flux on their surfaces. Each baffle plate included sixteen deflectors inclined at the same angle and arranged in a clockwise pattern. This arrangement induced a swirling motion of the air inside a circular duct where the heated tubes were located, leading to increased turbulence and improved heat transfer on the tube surfaces. The spacing between the baffle plates was adjusted at different pitch ratios, and the Reynolds number was controlled within a range of 16,000 to 29,000. The effects of pitch ratios and inclination angles on the heat exchanger's performance were analyzed. The results indicated that using a baffle plate with rectangular deflectors inclined at 30° and a pitch ratio of 1.2 resulted in an average increase of 1.29 in the thermal enhancement factor.

This study presents the angular effects of virtual vertices inserted for effective treatment of the boundary edge laid on an infinite conducting surface in a half-space scattering problem. We investigated the angular effects of virtual vertices by first computing the radar cross section (RCS) of a specific scatterer; i.e., a tilted conducting plate in contact with the ground surface, by inserting the virtual vertex in half-space. Here, the electric field integral equation is used to solve this problem with various virtual vertex angles (${\theta}_{\nu}$) and conducting plate inclination angles (${\theta}_r$) ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$. The effects of the angles ${\theta}_{\nu}$ and ${\theta}_r$ on the RCS computation are clearly shown with numerical results with and without the virtual vertices in free- and half-spaces.

The purpose of this study was to compare selected kinematic variables between male medalists and a Korean male javelin thrower at the IAAF World Championships, Daegu 2011. The three medalists and one Korean javelin thrower that participated in the Championships were videotaped using three high-speed cameras (300 frames/s, EX-F1 Exilim, Casio, Japan). The results showed that the release and attitude angles of the Korean male javelin thrower (KMJT) were greater than that of the medalists, whereas the attack angle of the KMJT was smaller than that of the medalists. This study also found that the KMJT clearly had a lower release height than the medalists. As a possible adaptation of his physique to the skill, the KMJT used a small trunk inclination angle and produced greater inclination angles at his upper extremities. These results may be linked to an increase in the release angle of the KMJT. There were some difference between the KMJT and the medalists in terms of the length and duration of the delivery phase. In harmony with the shorter length of the delivery phase, its duration was shorter for the KMJT in comparison to the medalists. Because the delivery stride is considered to be a primary generator of endpoint speed, this decrease in the delivery phase time would decrease the javelin velocity at release. The amount of time taken in the delivery phase may be a critical factor to enhance a javelin thrower's performance. Thus, rhythmic movement training specifically designed for the KMJT will help him attain an optimal throwing position.

To determine the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis without taking the submentovertex radiograph, the author studied the interrelation between the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and the mandibular angle and the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis. In 56 subjects, the author measured the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and both mandibular angle using the modified Twirl Bow and the horizontal inclination of the both condylar long axis from submentovertex radiographs. The result were as follows: The mean value of the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and the mandibular angle was l8.50±1.48° in right side and 19.30±1.55° in left side. The mean value of the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis was 19.25±7.56° in right side and 20.27±7.050 in left side. The interrelation of the two angles was represented as follows: y = 20.31-0.0094× (r = -0.482, p<0.01) in right side and y = 20.64-0.066×(r =-0.301, p<0.05) in left side (y; the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis, x; the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and the mandibular angle).

Since the first construction of soil nailing in France in 1972, the application of soil nailing has increased. However, there is currently no design method which is universally accepted or agreed upon far soil nailed wall, because each of the design methods has different assumptions and, therefore, different approaches, moreover, since the suggested optimal inclination angles of nails are different by researchers. Therefore, the effect of nail inclination with soil nailing is analyzed by FEM. In this study, Finite element program SOILSTRUCT was applied for the effect analysis of nail inclination in soil nailed wall. For this finite element analysis, CEBTP No. 1 project data were used. The analyzed nail inclination ranged from 0$^{\circ}$ to 30$^{\circ}$ with 5$^{\circ}$ intervals. The result of finite element analysis showed that the most optimal inclination was 20$^{\circ}$ Also, the tension farce in the nails increased as the nail inclination increased. However, the effect of nail inclination on the wall deformation was very little. Therefore, constructability seems to be more important than nail inclination. Also, the tension force in the nails increases as the nail depth below the top of the wall increases, except f3r the lowest nail. Therefore, appropriate nail diameter should be used to prevent breakage of nails with considering nail strength-deformation interaction.

Purpose: Therapeutic climbing has become very popular today, with it being reported as a new method for preventing and treating orthopedic trauma to the shoulder joint. However, objective studies on its effects on the musculoskeletal system are still lacking. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of wall inclination during therapeutic climbing on the muscle activity around the shoulder joint. Methods: In this study, the participants performed movements at three different inclination angles of $0^{\circ}$, $+15^{\circ}$, and $-15^{\circ}$. sEMG was performed to measure the activities of five different muscles around the shoulder joint (biceps brachii, serratus anterior, upper trapezius, middle trapezius, and lower trapezius muscles). Results: Biceps brachii muscle showed a significant increase at $-15^{\circ}$, as compared to $0^{\circ}$ (p<0.01), and the serratus anterior also showed a significant increase at $-15^{\circ}$, as compared to $0^{\circ}$ (p<0.05). Moreover, the middle and lower trapezius muscles also showed a significant increase at $-15^{\circ}$, as compared to $0^{\circ}$ (p<0.001). Compared to $0^{\circ}$, all muscles showed decreased values at $15^{\circ}$, but the differences were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Therapeutic climbing may be a new therapeutic approach that can increase muscle strength and coordination in the sensory nervous system, since it can be used as a tool that promotes active movement by altering wall inclination and causing the user to generate movements according to the existing situation.
