This work analyzes the behaviors of aerated lubricant in the gap between con-rod bearing and journal. It is assumed that the film formation with aerated lubricant is influenced by the two major factors. One is the density characteristics of the lubricant due to the volume change of lubricant for the formation of bubbles and the other is the viscosity characteristics of the lubricant due to the surface tension of the bubble in the lubricant. These two major factors surprisingly increase the load capacity in some ranges of bubble sizes and densities. Modified Reynolds' equation is developed for the computation of fluid film pressure with the effects of aeration ratio in the lubricant. From the calculated load capacity by solving modified Reynolds' equation, journal locus is computed with Mobility method after comparing it with the applied load at each time step. The differences of journal orbits between aerated and pure lubricants are shown in the computed results.

Dynamic behavior of immiscible gas bubble attached to the wall in channel flow plays very important role in many engineering applications. Special attention has been paid to micro direct methanol fuel cell(${\mu}$DMFC) where surface tension becomes dominant factor with minor gravitational effect due to its reduced size. Therefore, displacement of $CO_2$ bubble generating on a cathode side in ${\mu}$DMFC can be very difficult and efficient removal of $CO_2$ bubbles will affect the overall machine performance considerably. We have focused our efforts on studying the dynamic behavior of immiscible bubble attached to the one side of the wall on 2D rectangular channel subject to external shear flow. We used Level Contour Reconstruction Method(LCRM) which is the simplified version of front tracking method to track the bubble interface motion. Effects of Reynolds number, Weber number, advancing/receding contact angle and property ratio on bubble detachment characteristic has been numerically identified.

The effects of injection pressure and the distance between injectors on the droplet distribution characteristics of liquid spray for dual orifice type swirl injectors were experimentally investigated. The SMD distributions, volume concentration and Rosin- Rammler variation N of liquid spray droplets for water and a fuel were measured by using the laser diffraction particle sizer. The results of present study show that SMD decreases and spray angle increases as the injection pressure increases. The interaction of sprays from two injectors gives more uniform SMD distribution in the radial direction. As the distance between two injectors increases, SMD that is measured in the interacting region increases. The effect of viscosity on the droplet distribution in the interacting region is greater than the that of surface tension of liquid.

The effect of various conditions of frosting and defrosting on the defrosting behavior of a fin-tube heat exchanger has been examined experimentally. An electric heater is used for defrosting in a fin-tube heat exchanger. There are several local maxima in the water draining rate. The amount of residual water on the heat exchanger after completion of defrosting is kept constant due to surface tension on the heat exchanger. Without considering degradation of the thermal performance due to the frosting, the defrosting efficiency is improved with increasing amount of frost irrespective of the frosting condition. The defrosting behavior is affected by frosting density as well as frost accumulation, both of which vary with the experimental operating conditions. The heat loss to the surrounding air decreases, and melting and defrosting efficiencies show high values with decreasing heat input.

The hot embossing process as a method for the fabrication of polymer is becoming increasingly important because of its simple process, low cost, high replication fidelity and relatively high throughput. In this paper, we carried out experimental studies and numerical simulations in order to understand the viscous flow of polymer film during hot embossing process. As the initial step of quantitating the hot embossing process, simple parametric studies for the embossing conditions have been carried out using high resolution masters which patterned by DRIE process. Under different embossing times and pressures, the viscous flow of PMMA films into micro/nano cavities has been investigated. Also, the viscous flow during the hot embossing process has been simulated by the continuum based FDM analysis considering micro/nano effect, such as surface tension and contact angle.

The purpose of this study is to find the way to reduce the electrostatics by interface activation substances added in the insulating oil with concentration[ppm]. As results, The streaming current, surface tension and viscosity of the samples added nonionic and hermaphrodic substances are decreased but the conductivity is increased at higher point than the 1[ppm](c.m.c.), the other side the same phenomena of the samples added cationic and anionic substances are discovered at the 10[ppm].

Drawing optical fibers in a graphite furnace is one of the most convenient and economical means of producing optical fiber. Since the flaw formation on optical fiber is mainly due to dust contaminations during drawing and surface corrosion by water vapor penetration through coating layer, the tensile strength of optical fiber drawn in a graphite furnace is greatly inflenced by the drawing conditions. The important factors found in this investigation were preform treatment (fire polishing), furnace interior environment (dust contamination, inert gas flows), primary coating condition (resin curing temperature, coating materials, method, thickness) and fiber pulling condition (furnace temperature, drawing speed, pulling tension). The tensile strength at optimum drawing conditions turned out to be 5 ~ 6 GPa.

Failure of connecting rod in automotive engine may cause catastrophic situation. The corner radius at small end has an effect on stress raising. To investigate the stress distribution in connecting rod during operation, the finite element analysis was used by giving possible maximum tension and compression. Excessive sizing after forging connecting rod may result in the tensile residual stress which lower the fatigue life and cause premature failures. It was shown that when the sizing amount is too large, the location of high tensile residual stress coincide with that of high stress amplitude during operation through the elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The endurance limit moves down due to the surface finish and decarburization, which combines with the movement of resultant stress points to dangerous range. It was concluded that the precise control of sizing and enough corner radius are necessary to a reliability of connecting rod.

The Hot Embossing Lithography(HEL) as a method fur the fabrication of the nanostructure with polymer is becoming increasingly important because of its simple process, low cost, high replication fidelity and relatively high throughput. In this paper, we carried out experimental studies and numerical simulations in order to understand the viscous flow of the polymer (PMMA) film during the hot embossing process. To grasp the characteristics of the micro patterning rheology by process parameters (embossing temperature, pressure and time), we have carried out various experiments by using the nickel-coated master fabricated by the deep RIE process and the plasma sputtering. During the hot embossing process, we have observed the characteristics of the viscoelastic behavior of polymer. Also, the viscous flow during the hot embossing process has been simulated by the continuum based FDM(Finite Difference Method) analysis considering the micro effect, such as a surface tension and a contact angle.
