The performance prediction of an airfoil fan using a commerical code, STAR/CD, is verified by comparing the calculated results with measured performance data and velocity fields of an airfoil fan. The effects of inlet tip clearance on performance are investigated. The calculations overestimate the pressure rise performance by about 10-25 percent. However, the performance reduction due to tip clearance is well predicted by numerical simulations. Main source of performance decrease is not only the slip factor but also impeller efficiency. The reduction in performance is 12-16 percent for 1 percent gap of the diameter. The calculated reductions in impeller efficiency and slip factor are also linearly proportional to the gap size. The span-wise distributions of phase averaged velocity and pressure at the impeller exit are strongly influenced by the radial gap size. The radial component of velocity and the flow angle increase over the passsage as the gap increases. The slip factor decreases and the loss increases with the gap size. The high velocity of leakage jet affects the impeller inlet and passage flows. With a larger clearance, the main stream moves to the impeller hub side and high loss region extends from the shroud to the hub.

In the braking process of rolling stocks, the equivalent braking force is applied to the all bogies. However, the load applied to the front and rear bogie are different in the actual commercial traveling. In the case, since the different slip situation is occurred in each bogie, it is essential to use the independent anti-slip control per bogie unit in order to reduce the loss of braking force. In this paper, the algorithm about bogie unit braking is proposed and verified.

A design method of Sirocco fan is developed for constructing 3-D impeller and scroll geometries, and for predicting both the aerodynamic performance and the noise characteristics of the designed fan. The aerodynamic blading design of fan is conducted by blade angle, camber line determinations and airfoil thickness distribution, and then the scroll geometry of fan is designed by using logarithmic spiral. The aerodynamic performance of designed fan is predicted by the meanline analysis with flow blockage, slip and pressure loss correlations. Based on the predicted performance data, fan noise is predicted by two models for cutoff frequency and broadband noise sources. The present predictions for the performance and the noise level of actual fans are well agreed with measurement results.

Clamping force of a high strength bolt is reduced by a certain period of time after the initial set-up. In case of special treatments on faying surfaces such as protective coating, clamping force is relaxed more severely. Tests for slip critical joints subject to various faying surface parameters were conducted. Five different surface treatments were tested including mill scale surface, blast surface, rust surface and coated surfaces. Each specimen was composed of F10T M20 of high strength bolts and steel plates. Based on the result of slip coefficient test, blast treatment surface showed 0.59, rust treatment surface showed 0.54 and inorganic zinc treatment surface exhibited 0.44. Clean mill treatment surface and red lead paint treatment surface were 0.23, 0.21 respectively. It is identified that the slip coefficient in Korean structural design guide should be determined for various surface conditions. Subsequently from long term relaxation test of ASTM A 490 high strength bolts, relaxation of no-coated surfaces such as blast, clean mill, rust treatment, the loss of initial clamping load was 10.5%, 13.6% and 7.9% for 1,000 hours, while the loss of initial clamping force was reached as 15.0%, 18.7% more than the required redundancy 10% in case of inorganic zinc and red lead painted treatment. It is required that the limit of relaxation on coated faying surface should be established separately for various surfaces.

A major inhibition of past work in a slip/fall accident study has been due to the lack of a facility and a methodology to experimentally investigate such behavior without expowting human subjects to the natural danger of injury resulting from a fall. In order to carry out a slip/fall research, a unique facility must be created specially to investigate falling and slipping behavior. One component of this facility will be used to focus a research towards experimental investigations of the basic mechanisms involved in falls. Especially, this compo- nent must be designed, developed, and fabricated to provide passive, reactive support at the point of loss of ba- lance. This component must allow both normal and reduced friction surfaces to be designated to investigate human falling in the experimental conditions. This study will address how a fall arresting system was designed and it would be implemented in actual case of a slip/fall study.

This paper presents how to design speed control of wound rotor induction motors with slip energy recovery. The speed is limited at some range of sub-synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field. The problem with speed control by adjusting resistance value in the rotor circuit reduces the efficiency of power, because of the slip energy is lost when it passes through the rotor resistance. The control system is designed to maintain efficiency of motor, where it recovers loss energy by returning it to the system to improve the efficiency. A new PI control method of adaptive control [1］,［13］is applied for the system with cascade type PI controller on the main loop to keep the speed constant and the internal loop to adjust the rotor appropriated current of the load provides the good transient response without overshoot.

This study is concerned with effects of impeller blade thickness on performance of a turbo blower. This turbo blower is developed as an air supply system in 250 kW MCFC system. The turbo blower consists of an impeller, two vaneless diffusers, a vaned diffuser and a volute. The three dimensional, steady state numerical analysis is simultaneously conducted for the impeller, diffuser and volute to investigate the performance of total system. To consider the non-uniform condition in volute inlet due to volute tongue, full diffuser passages are included in the calculation. The results of numerical analysis are validated with experimental results of thin blade thickness. Total pressure ratio, efficiency, slip factor and blade loading are compared in two cases. The slip factor is different in two cases and the comparison of two cases shows a good performance in thin blade thickness in all aspects.

Fretting is the oscillatory motion with very small amplitudes, which usually occurs between two solid surfaces in contact. Fretting wear is the removal of material from contacting surfaces through fretting action. Fretting wear of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plant becomes a serious problem in recent years. The materials for the tubes usually are Inconel 690 (I-690) and Inconel 600 (I-600). In this paper, fretting wear tests for I-690 and I-600 were performed under various applied loads in water at room temperature. Results showed that the fretting wear loss of I-690 and I-600 tubes was largely influenced by stick-slip. The fretting wear mechanisms were the abrasive wear in slip regime and the delamination wear in stick regime. Also, I-690 had somewhat better wear resistance than I-600.

This paper presents an optimal efficiency control for the inverter fed induction machine system using neural network. The motor speed and the load torque vary the efficiency characteristics of an induction motor. The optimal slip frequency has nonlinearity varied by the load torque as well as the motor speed. The induction motor is driven using the inverter system and the indirect vector control method which input is slip frequency. The neural network for estimating the optimal slip frequency has two input layer(the motor speed and the load torque) and one output layer(the optimal slip frequency that minimize the input power). Learning algorithm of the neural network is the back-propagation. Using the equivalent circuit including the nonlinearity of the induction motor, the loss reduction is analyzed quantitatively. Experimental results are shown noticeable power savings by proposed scheme in high speed and light load conditions.

This paper introduces the design method of the centrifugal turbo fan and the process of developing the design program of it. The developed design program confirmed the applicability by experimental performance data. Here, we proposed new velocity coefficients and considered various losses such as impeller inlet loss, vane passage flow loss, casing pressure loss, recirculation loss power, and disk friction loss power. Especially, the inlet and outlet widths of the impeller were newly determined by reflecting the experimental results. As a result, this fan design program shows a good performance result regardless of the types of impeller and is expected to be a very useful design tool.
