  • The ventilation performance for the various venting duct arrays has been experimentally compared in the scaled model of the container hold. Most container ships have the ventilation duct system to remove effectively the condensing heat released from container refrigerator. The existing duct system is vertically installed and basically has the number of duct as many as the columns of reefer container stack. In this study, to make up for the weak points having stagnantly hot legions in the centered area of container hold for the present system, the horizontal upward jotting duct system was proposed and proved by temperature rising tests on the scaled model. In this paper, the expected flow regimes and the thermal and hydrodynamic analogies as well as the measured temperature distributions in a hold for various duct types and heat released rates are deeply discussed.

  • When triple flames propagated in a diverging channel, the effects of fuel dilution on the lift-off characteristics of triple flames were investigated. A multi-slot burner was used to stabilize the lift-off flame especially at weak fuel concentration gradients. It was reported that there is a maximum propagation velocity at a critical concentration gradient in an open jet regardless of fuel dilution. The enhancement of a diffusion flame affected to increase the propagation velocity around critical concentration gradients. However, the influence of a confined channel on the structure of triple flames according to fuel dilution needs to be investigated compared with an open jet case. This study aimed to examine the effect of a confined channel on the structure and the propagation velocity of the triple flames according to fuel dilution. Lift-off height and propagation velocity of triple flames were investigated by employing three kinds of fuel compositions diluted by nitrogen (0%, 25%, 50% $N_2$), Fuel dilution reduced the propagation velocity of triple flame in a confined channel mainly due to the decrease of flame temperature in premixed branch. Despite the difference in fuel dilution, the propagation velocity has a maximum value at a specific fuel concentration gradient even though the critical concentration gradient increases with fuel dilution. And the critical concentration gradient in a confined channel is larger than that in an open jet due to enhancement of convective diffusion.

  • This paper is to investigate the A.C generation of MHD engine, converting directly the kinetic energy of conductive gas in high temperature to electric power by the effect of magnetic field. It is known that there are at least two kinds of method in A.C MHD power generation; one, by sending stationary plasma flow in an alternating or rotating magnetic field and the other, by transmission of pulse type plasma flow in uniform and constant magnetic field, former method is adopted here. In order to raise the total efficiency of close cycle in combination with nuclear power and MHD genertaion, an argon plasma jet is utilized as heat source, which is not mixed with the seed material, and the design data are obtained for A.C MHD generation in small capacity, but induced voltage and power output have the maximum values, 15 voltages and 7.5W respectively due to plasma flow with low conductivity and weak magnetic field.

  • The impingement of a weak shock wane discharged from the open end of a shock tube upon a flat plate was investigated using shock tube experiments and numerical simulations. Harten-Yee Total Variation Diminishing method was used to solve axisymmetric, unsteady, compressible flow governing equations. Experiments were carried out to validate the present computations. The effects of the flat plate and baffle plate sizes on the impinging flow field over the flat plate were investigated. Shock Mach number was varied in the range from 1.05 to 1.20. The distance between the plate and shock tube was changed to investigate the effect on the peak pressure. From both the results of experiments and computations we obtained a good empirical equation to predict the peak pressure on the flat plate.

  • Landfill gas has merely half heating value compared with liquified natural gas but can be greatly utilized as a commercial fuel. The authors have examined emission characteristics as well as measured burning velocity of LFG mixed gas which contains plenty of $CO_{2}$. With the viewpoint of fuel utilization, flame stability could be one of important characteristics of LFG. In this study, the comparison experiments are conducted between $CH_{4}$ and LFG for searching the region of flame stabilization based upon the flame blowout at maximum fuel stream velocity. As a result, it is found that stabilization region of LFG is not improved with that of $CH_{4}$ in non-swirl/or weak swirl jet diffusion flame. However, it is also known that flame stability is hardly affected by inert gas in the strong swirl with considering widened flame stabilization region of LFG rather than LNG.

  • A 49-year-old female with a history of several neurosurgical and otolaryngologic procedures for occipital meningioma and cerebrospinal fluid leaks was diagnosed with pneumocephalus after a one hour flight on a domestic jet airliner. Despite multiple operations, the air appeared to enter the cranium through a weak portion of the skull base due to the low atmospheric pressure in the cabin. The intracranial air was absorbed with conservative management. The patient was recommended not to fly before a definite diagnostic work up and a sealing procedure for the cerebrospinal fluid leak site had been performed. Recent advances in aviation technology have enabled many people to travel by air, including individuals with medical conditions. Low cabin pressure is not dangerous to healthy individuals; however, practicing consultant neurosurgeons should understand the cabin environment and prepare high risk patients for safe air travel.

  • When a vortex diffracts upon encountering a vortex, many strong and weak waves are produced in the course of interaction. They are the cause of shock wave attenuation and noise production. This phenomenon is fundamental to understanding the more complex supersonic turbulent Jet noise. In this paper we have reviewed the research on shock-vortex interaction we have carried on last seven years. We have computationally investigated the parameter effect. When a shock is strong, shock diffraction pattern becomes complex since the slip lines from the triple points on Mach stem curl into the vortex, causing an entropy layer. When the vortex is unstable, vortexlets are brought about each of which make shock diffraction of a reduced intensity. Strong vortex produces quadrupole noise as it impinges into a vortex. Elementary interaction models such as shock splitting, shock reflection, and shock penetration are presented based on shock tube experiment. These models are also verified by computational approach. They easily explain production and propagation of the aforementioned quadrupole noise, Diverging acoustics are explained in terms of shock-vortexlet interactions for which a computational model Is constructed.

  • The seasonal variability of sonic layer depth (SLD) in the central Arabian Sea (CAS) (0 to $25^{\circ}N$ and $62-66^{\circ}E$) was studied using the temperature and salinity (T/S) profiles from Argo floats for the years 2002-2006. The atmospheric forcing responsible for the observed changes was explored using the meteorological data from NCEP/NCAR and Quickscat winds. SLD was obtained from sound velocity profiles computed from T/S data. Net heat flux and wind forcing regulated SLD in the CAS. Up-welling and down-welling (Ekman dynamics) associated with the Findlater Jet controlled SLD during the summer monsoon. While in winter monsoon, cooling and convective mixing regulated SLD in the study region. Weak winds, high insolation and positive net heat flux lead to the formation of thin, warm and stratified sonic layer during pre and post summer monsoon periods, respectively.

  • Laser-induced breakdown spesctroscopy (LIBS) is a technique that complements the disadvantages of conventional laser-based combustion diagnosis techniques such as weak signal strength, complex equipment configuration, and low accuracy. In this study, basic research was carried out to measure the combustion gas temperature of scramjet engines using LIBS. Spray flames were generated from Jet A-1 fuel used in scramjet engines and gas temperatures were measured at the top of the flames with a calibrated thermocouple. The LIBS signals were acquired at the same points as the temperature measurement positions of the thermocouple. The LIBS spectra were analyzed to obtained a calibration curve between the LIBS signal and the reference temperature measured at the thermocouple. Therefore, it was confirmed that the combustion gas temperature can be measured in-situ using LIBS.
