A marine SCR System is emerging as an alternative to comply with NOx Tier III Emission standards, a restriction on greenhouse gas from vessels implemented by the International Maritime Organization. The system is greatly affected by the uniformity of the fluid flowing into the catalyst, so the performance of the catalyst of an SCR system needs to be guaranteed. This study conducted research on a mixed evaporator of an SCR system, which is one of the factors affecting the uniformity of the fluid. When the angle of the mixed evaporator is set to $90^{\circ}$, the fluid uniformity is at its highest at 83%, under the condition that the length of the mixed evaporator be 3.5 D. When the length was 3.5 D and less, the fluid uniformity had a tendency to improve relative to the case without a bent pipe. However, a longer mixed evaporator results in a more perfect liquidity development in the pipe with a liquidity distribution similar to the case where no curved pipe is formed in front of the catalyst. A lower angle for the mixed evaporator results in a lower flow uniformity, and a longer length of the mixed evaporator results in a lower difference in the flow uniformity caused by the angle. The flow uniformity can be improved by 6% with a mixed evaporator, which confirmed that all factors applied to an SCR system have a close relationship with the efficiency.

A disk photo sensor system was constructed and installed on engine for the crank angle measurement. Statically measured TDC crank angle data were compared with those obtained from engine motoring. Two groups of cylinder pressure data were compared each other, one measured by pressure transducer mounted flush on the combustion chamber and the other obtained with the help of spark plug type adaptor. A simple analysis on the gas flow in the spark plug type pressure transducer displayed reasonably good agreement with those from engine motoring tests. In various firing tests, the IMERs obtained from the spark plug type pressure transducer turned out to be higher than those from the flush mounted one at low engine speed while those two were nearly the same at high engine speed. As the engine load decreased the relative difference in IMEP measurement between the two types tended to be enlarged.

The heat and flow characteristics in a single-phase parallel-flow heat exchanger was examined numerically to obtain its optimal shape. A response surface method was introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the design domain. The inflow/outflow angle of the working fluid, the location of inlet/outlet, the protruding height of flat tube and the height of header were chosen as a design parameter The evaluation of the relative importance of the design parameters was performed based on a sensitivity analysis. An efficiency index was used as an evaluation characteristics value to simultaneously consider both the heat transfer and the pressure drop. The efficiency index of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by 9.3%.

The heat and flow characteristics in a single-phase parallel-flow heat exchanger was examined numerically to obtain its optimal shape. A response surface method was introduced to predict its performance approximately with respect to design parameters over design domain. Design parameters are inflow and outflow angle of the working fluid and horizontal and vertical location of inlet and outlet. The evaluation of the relative priority of the design parameters was performed to choose three important parameters in order to use a response surface method. A JF factor was used as an evaluation characteristic value to consider the heat transfer and the pressure drop simultaneously. The JF factor of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by about 5.3%.

The paper deals with an analysis of an extrusion process with a divided material flow in a combined radial - backward extrusion. We have discussed the influences of tool geometry such as punch nose angle, relative gap height, die corner radius on material flow and surface expansion into can and flange region. To analyse the process, numerical simulations by the FEM and experiment by physical modeling using Al alloy as a model material have been performed. Based on the results, the influence of fixed parameters on the distribution of divided material flow and surface expansion are obtained.

In this study, lumped-vortex element method and thin airfoil theory were used to analyze aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils with relative motion that had camber lines of NACA $44{\times}{\times}$ airfoil in 2-dimensional unsteady incompressible potential flow. Velocity disturbance due to airfoil was calculated by lumped-vortex element model and force distribution on airfoil by unsteady Bernoulli's equation. Variables in relative motion were considered the period p, the amplitude of flapping $A_f$ and pitching $A_p$, and the phase difference between flapping and pitching ${\phi}_p$ and the angle of attack ${\alpha}$. Due to movement of an airfoil, dag was induced in 2-dimensional unsteady incompressible potential flow. The numerical results show that the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil with flapping and pitching at the same time are illustrated. Especially the mean lift coefficient became smaller, but drag coefficient became larger.

Taguchi’s experimental design was employed in the melt spinning of molten mesophase pitch to produce carbon fibers. The textures of the obtained carbon fibers were radial with varied crack angles, as observed by scanning electron microscopy and polarized optical imaging. The diameter, crack angle, preferred orientation, and tensile modulus of the produced samples were examined to investigate the influence of four spinning variables. The relative importance of the variables has been emphasized for each characteristic. The results show that thicker carbon fiber can be obtained with a smaller entry angle, a higher spinning temperature, a reduced winding speed, and an increased extrusion pressure. The winding speed was found to be the most significant factor in relation to the fiber diameter. While it was observed that thicker carbon fiber generally shows improved preferred orientation, the most important variable affecting the preferred orientation was found to be the entry angle. As the entry angle decreased from 120° to 60°, the shear flow was enhanced to induce more ordered radial alignment of crystallite planes so as to obtain carbon fibers with a higher degree of preferred orientation. As a consequence, the crack angle was increased, and the tensile modulus was improved.

Recently, copper alloy netting has been proposed as a material for aquaculture facilities that can be set in harsh offshore environments. To design a cage made of copper alloy netting, it is necessary to calculate the flow of water through the netting and force of external sources on the netting. Therefore, this study measured and analyzed the current velocity reduction after passing through the netting and the hydrodynamic forces acting on the netting using copper alloy netting with nine solidity ratios. As a result of the reduction rate of the flow velocity through the netting, the flow reduction rate was increased as the solidity ratio of netting was increased. The flow reduction rate was also increased as the attack angle on the netting was decreased. In analyzing the resistance on the netting, we also discovered that resistance was increased with increase in the flow velocity and solidity ratio. An analysis of the hydrodynamic coefficient acting on the netting is shown that the drag coefficient tends to increase as the attack angle increases. We also analyzed the hydrodynamic coefficient according to the variation of the Reynolds number. When the drag coefficients acting on the netting were analyzed with the different Reynolds numbers, the Reynolds number increased from over 0.3 m/s to a relative constant. Finally, the copper alloy nettings had a smaller velocity reduction rate when comparing the flow velocity reduction rate between copper alloy nettings and nylon nettings.

A numerical study has been performed on the flow past a two-staged orifice in a rectangular duct. The flow field including the recirculation region behind the orifice was investigated and the pressure drop was calculated. Water was used as a working fluid and the flow was treated as the turbulent flow, of which the Raynolds number was 6000. The main parameters for the pressure drop and the recirculation region were the orifice's inclined angle against the duct, the interval between two orifices, the shape of the orifice's hole having the same area, and the change of the hole position at the same interval. The variation of the flow field was investigated with each parameter. Consequently, it was found that the most dominant parameter influencing the drop of the pressure was the change of the hole position at the same interval between orifices. Especially when the interval between orifices was narrow and the relative position the holes was changed, its effect to the flow field was shown most drastically as a result of this study. The SIMPLER algorithm with FLUENT code was employed to analyze the flow field.
