Using the extensional vibration mode of PZT ring, a piezopump is successfully made. The PZT ring is polarized with thickness direction. The traveling extensional wave along the circumference of the ring is obtained by dividing two standing waves which are temporally and spatially phase shifted by 90 degrees from each other. The proposed piezopump is consisted of coaxial cylindrical shells that are bonded piezoelectric ceramic ring. The pump takes an unobtrusive operation into the simple displacing mechanism using peristaltic traveling waves without the physical moving parts. The finite elements analysis on the proposed pump model is carried out to verify its operation principle and design by the commercial FEM software. Components of piezopump were made, assembled, and tested to validate the concepts of the proposed pump and confirm the simulation results. The performance of the proposed piezopump is about 580 ${\mu}l/min$ in flow rate with the highest pressure level of 0.85 kPa, when the driving voltage is 150 $V_p$, 57 kHz.

In this paper, we report the numerical and experimental solutions of the axi-symmetric flows in the axial plane driven by an impingement of fluid from the bottom wall of a circular cylinder. We managed to visualize successfully the flow pattern shown on the vertical plane through the container axis. The numerical results are shown to compare well with the experimental results for the case of infinity Rossby number. The satisfactory agreement between the two results was possible when in the numerics the free surface was treated as a solid wall so that a no-slip condition was applied on the surface. The numerical solutions reveal that inertial oscillation plays an important role at small Rossby numbers, or at a larger background rotation.

Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE-CVD) is a widely used technology in semiconductor manufacturing for thin film deposition. The implementation of wafer guide rings in PE-CVD processes is crucial for enhancing efficiency and product quality by ensuring uniform deposition around wafer edges and reducing particle generation. On the other hand, to prevent overall temperature non-uniformity and degradation of thin film quality within the chamber, it is essential to consider various parameters comprehensively. In this study, after applying the wafer guide rings, temperature variations and fluid flow changes were simulated. Additionally, by simulating the temperature and flow changes when applied to the PE-CVD chamber, this paper discusses the importance of optimizing variables within the entire chamber.

The effects of a mixing vane on air-water mixed flow have been experimentally studied in this work, to investigate the basic mechanisms that the mixing vane affects critical heat flux (CHF). Experiment was performed for various flow rates focusing on bubbly flow and annular flow patterns. Acrylic tube (1.7m long, 11 mm I.D.) and the split vane type mixing vane were used, and ring-type conductance probes were used to measure the liquid film thickness in annular flow. Experimental results show that, (a) bubbly-to slug flow transition and churn-to-annular flow transition occur respectively near the mixing vane compared to the tests without mixing vane, (b) in bubbly flow region, the mixing vane breaks the bubbles into smaller ones and forwards bubbles to the center region of the tube by the centrifugal force, (c) the liquid film thickness in annular flow is decreased near the mixing vane for mass fluxes.

This study investigates the influence of various blending factors on cement paste fluidity and find out the most effective evaluation method of cement paste flow, comparing flow test apparatuses such as ring flow(R-F), flow cone(F-C) and mini slump(M-S). A viscometer also measures the rheology coefficients to secure faithful numerical data. Firstly, series I examines cement paste, affected by several cement products and mineral admixture types in the range of W/B 40%, ordinary fluidity, and W/B 30%, high fluidity. In this series, the three types of cement product depended on companies, are randomly used and the mineral admixture, such as fly ash, blast furnace slag and silica fume, are incorporated in the cement paste, in response to the ratio of 10, 20, to 30%, respectively. In addition, series II studies various chemical admixture types, affecting the cement paste. This series is carried out with manufacturing companies and component types in the range of W/C 30%, high fluidity. For the manufacturing companies, randomly four products are used and for the component types, polycaboxylate, melamine, naphthalene and lignosulfonate type are chosen. Test results showed that in the fluidity test of cement paste considering various types of blending factors, R-F exhibited similar tendency with F-C and M-S. In the analysis of consistency curves measured by viscometer, the fluidity evaluation method using flow test apparatuses was significantly effective, except for the some of the low fluidity specimens. In conclusion of this study, R-F was the most convenient, faithful and effective fluidity evaluation method of cement paste.

난류고리와 스플래쉬 판에 의한 난류 혼합과 난류 생성에 관한 연구를 위하여 LES 해석이 가능한 CFD 코드를 개발하였으며 이를 사용하여 LES 해석을 수행하였다. 계산 결과에 의하면 난류고리는 유동장에 매우 강한 난류를 생성하여 후류에서 난류 혼합을 촉진하는 역할을 담당하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편 난류고리 후류 방향으로 스플래쉬 판을 설치하면 난류고리만을 설치한 경우와 매우 다른 형태의 난류 에너지와 엔스트로피 생성을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 경우의 난류혼합은 판 뒤에 생성되는 매우 강하며 집중적인 난류의 생성에 의하여 이루어지며 압력강하는 초기 압력의 1% 수준으로 매우 낮았다. 또한 계산결과에 의하면 난류고리의 형상이나 돌출 길이 변화는 생성되는 난류의 특성에 매우 커다란 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 난류 혼합을 가장 효과적으로 이룰 수 있는 판의 위치에 관한 연구 는 진행하지 못하였으나 지금까지 계산결과에 의하면 스플래쉬 판이 설치되었을 때 압력 강하도 낮은 수준이며 난류 혼합이 가장 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

조립재료의 입자 결합 및 파쇄 형태가 전단거동 특히 잔류 전단거동 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여, 개별요소법(DEM, discrete element method)에 기초를 둔 프로그램인 PFC(Particle Flow Code)를 이용하여 링 전단시험을 수치해석적으로 모델링하였다. 본 연구에서는 PFC내의 clump 모델 및 cluster 모델을 이용하여 두 개의 비파쇄모델 그리고 두 개의 파쇄모델을 포함한 총 네 개의 모델을 제시하였다. Lobo-Guerrero and Vallejo(2005)가 제안한 Lobo-crushing 모델의 적합성을 검토하였다. 또한 링 전단시험 모델링의 결과 분석을 통하여 직접전단시험 모델링 결과와 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 잔류 전단거동 분석을 위해서는 링 전단시험의 모델링이 필수적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 잔류 전단강도 분석을 위해서는 Lobo-crushing 모델이 부적합함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 수치해석 모델은 향후 입자 파쇄를 포함한 조립재료의 잔류 전단강도 특성 연구에 다양하게 적용될 수 있다고 판단된다.

As rubber products such as O-rings, which are also known as packings or toric joints, come in regular, long term contact with liquid fuel, they can eventually swell, become mechanically weakened, and occasionally crack; this diminishes both their usefulness and intrinsic lifetime and could cause leaks during the steady-state flow condition of the fuel. In this study, we evaluate the lifetime of such products through compression set tests of FKM, a family of fluorocarbon elastomer materials defined by the ASTM international standard D141; these materials have great compression, sunlight, and ozone resistance as well as a low gas absorption rate. In this process, O-rings are immersed in the liquid fuel of airtight containers that can be expressed as a compression set, and the liquid fuel leakage in a flow rig tester at variable temperatures over 12 months is investigated. Using the Power Law model, our study determined a theoretical O-ring lifetime of 2,647 years, i.e. a semi-permanent lifespan, by confirming the absence of liquid fuel leakage around the O-ring assembled fittings. These results indicate that the FKM O-rings are significantly compatible for fuel tests to evaluate long-term sealing conditions.

This paper presents statistical models developed to study the influence of key mix design parameters on the properties of lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) with expanded shale (ESH) aggregates. Twenty LWSCC mixtures are designed and tested, where responses (properties) are evaluated to analyze influence of mix design parameters and develop the models. Such responses included slump flow diameter, V-funnel flow time, J-ring flow diameter, J-ring height difference, L-box ratio, filling capacity, sieve segregation, unit weight and compressive strength. The developed models are valid for mixes with 0.30-0.40 water-to-binder ratio, high range water reducing admixture of 0.3-1.2 % (by total content of binder) and total binder content of $410-550kg/m^3$. The models are able to identify the influential mix design parameters and their interactions which can be useful to reduce the test protocol needed for proportioning of LWSCCs. Three industrial class ESH-LWSCC mixtures are developed using statistical models and their performance is validated through test results with good agreement. The developed ESH-LWSCC mixtures are able to satisfy the European EFNARC criteria for self-consolidating concrete.
