Various types of nozzles have been used to cope with fire in ships. However, in Korea, precise nozzles that perform fine spraying function are required for fire fighting in case of fire in a ship, and most of these nozzles depend on imports. Therefore, in this study, we developed various types of nozzles to develop the water spray nozzle for evolving fire in the engine room of the ship, and developed an optimal nozzle through flow analysis and fire test. For this purpose, we selected the materials that can satisfy the characteristics of existing nozzle materials and developed the design technology and processing technology in the nozzle considering fluid flow to achieve optimal water spraying performance. In order to develop an optimal nozzle, the flow through the finite element analysis was first analyzed and the nozzle was manufactured. As a result of flow analysis of the developed nozzle, the maximum velocity at the outlets of four holes at 0.3 MPa was about 3m/s and about 0.15 MPa. In addition, when the pressure at the inlet was 1.8 MPa, it showed the outlet speed of about 18m/s and a pressure of 1.2 MPa.

Purpose: There is active research that improves both reliability and fatigue life of structures which widely used in the aerospace fields of defense industry. The effects of three parameters (pressure, peening time, nozzle distance) on Almen intensity and coverage will be investigated by using the experimental and analyzed data. Methods: we employed a Box-Behnken design. Additionally, to verify the validity of the optimal condition obtained from experimental results, metallurgical analyses of the shot-peened aerospace part were conducted with respect to surface morphology, residual stress. Results: Optimal shot peening condition is determined as (distance, pressure, time) by optimizing simultaneously the two responses of intensity and coverage. At the optimal peening condition the prediction interval for Almen intensity is well within the required range. And, the validity of the condition was checked by using the real aerospace aluminum alloy plate. Conclusion: Shot peening introduces significant levels of compressive residual stress and induces improves both reliability and fatigue life of structures.

This paper describes the possible way to improve the capacity, the efficiency and the pressure drop of $CO_2$ system. It is considered the use of an internal heat exchanger (IHX) to improve the performance of the $CO_2$ system. Experiment was performed by changing a tube shape, a tube number and a tube length of IHX to investigate the performance of IHX for $CO_2$ system. The focus of the present study is to obtain the concept on IHX optimal design. Experimental results show that design parameters are closely related with the capacity and the pressure drop of $CO_2$ system. In the transcritical $CO_2$ cycle, the system performance is very sensitive to the IHX design. System performance on operation condition and shape of IHX is also introduced.

In order to improve the efficiency of hydraulic gear pumps or motors especially for high operating pressure, power losses due to viscous friction and leak flow through gear teeth end-gaps are considered in this paper. Optimal gaps minimizing the power loss for pumps and motors with uniform heights of gaps are analysed first. And the effect of the shapes of gaps with unequal heights on the power loss are studied and discussed by simulation. Considering that the outer shell lacing gear teeth may expand due to high internal pressure or thermal stress, the results drawn in this paper can be used for the design of high efficiency pumps and motors.

Recently, the hydroforming process is widely applied to the automotive industry and rapidly spreaded to other industries. In this paper, An implicit finite element formulation for simulating axisymmetric tube hydroforming processes is performed. In order to describe normal anisotropy of the tube, Hill's non-quadratic yield function is employed. The frictional contact between die and tube and the frictionless contact between tube and fluid are considered using the mesh-normal vectors computed from the finite element mesh of the tube. The complete set of the governing relations comprising equilibrium and interfacial equations is linearized for Newton-Raphson procedure. In order to verify the validity of the developed finite element formulation, the axisymmetric tube bulge test is simulated and the simulation results are compared with experimental measurements. In a simulation of stepped circular tube hydroforming processes, an optimal hydraulic pressure curve is pursued by considering simultaneously internal pressures and axial forces.

To achieve good cryogenic circumstances by Gifford-McMahon cryocooler, we have to constitute optimal conditions with various factors for G-M cryocooler. In this study, cool-down characteristics were presented with some factors using brass matrix mesh (1st stage) and Pb ball (2nd stage) as regenerator materials for the heat exchangers. The effects of the variations of Helium gas pressure and cycle frequency on the cooling capacity of G-M cryocooler are investigated experimentally. The presented results could be summarized as follows : 1) As the steady state pressure increases, 'no load temperature' decreases but cooling capacity increases. 2) It is confirmed that the characteristics of the specific heat of the regenerator materials agree well with the cool-down characteristics of 10 K cryocooler.

In this study, STAR-CD-based CFD techniques was used to analyze velocity distribution and pressure distribution according to the variation of angels at $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ a suction pipe when inlet velocity condition is 1 m/s. SIMPLE maritime law used for analytical algorithm and the results of CFD analysis evaluated by particle image velocimetry (PIV). The results of CFD analysis in this study have revealed that the optimal angle of a suction pipe for a jet pump is $90^{\circ}$ and the PIV test has showed the same results. Therefore, it is thought that when CFD is used to analyze the flow characteristics of a jet pump it would be possible to produce optimal designs of its devices.

In this study, to investigate the effect of the generalized performance curve on the performance prediction and to find the optimal ones, a systematic study is performed. For this purpose, we compared the influence of the stage performance curves with experimental data in multi-stage axial compressors. As a result, it is discovered that the optimal generalized performance curves vary according to the number of the stages in compressors. And we found that for a low-stage compressors, Muir's pressure coefficient curve gives the best prediction results at design rotational frequency regardless of the efficiency curve. On the other hand, for high-stage compressors, Stone's pressure coefficient curve gives the optimistic results about the performance prediction at design rotational frequency.

In a running blower, there are various exciting forces which can generate noise. The noise of an running industrial fan or blower depends on the structure of a fan, the machining accuracy of each element, and assembled conditions. Many studies have been carried out to reduce the noise of it.

Commercial engineering software ANSYS and SYSNOISE were employed to analyze the characteristics and reduction ratio of pressure. It is concluded that optimal position and number of buffs in pipe of blower to show the least reduction ratio of pressure.

In this study the optimization of plate-fin type heat sink for the thermal stability is performed numerically. The optimum design variables are obtained when the temperature rise and the pressure drop are minimized simultaneously. The flow and thermal fields are predicted using the finite volume method and the optimization is carried out by using the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method which is widely used in the constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The results show that when the temperature rise is less than 34.6 K, the optimal design variables are as follows; $B_{1}$ = 2.468 mm, $B_{2}$ = 1.365 mm, and t = 10.962 mm. The Pareto optimal solutions are also presented for the pressure drop and the temperature rise.
