Fuel cell electric vehicles have some noise problems due to its air processing unit which is required to feed the ambient air into the fuel cell stack. Discrete-frequency noises are radiated from a centrifugal blower due to rotor-stator interaction. Their fundamental frequency is the blade passing frequency, which is determined by the number of rotor blades and their rotating speed. To reduce such noises, multi-chamber perforated muffler has been designed. In this paper, in order to improve the transmission loss of a perforated muffler, the relationship between the impedance model of a perforated hole and its noise reduction performance is studied, and the applicability of a short-length perforated muffler to air processing unit of fuel cell system is described using acoustic simulation results and experimental data. The acoustic velocity vector across the neck of a perforated hole is very important design factor to optimize the transmission of an intake muffler. The suggested short-length perforated muffler is effective on discrete-frequency noises while keeping the volume of intake muffler minimized.

In this study, the flow characteristics at the ventilation holes was analyzed by using numerical method when carbon composite brake disk was rotated at a constant speed. In order to ensure the validity of the analysis results, grid dependency test was performed by considering the accuracy and appropriateness, and 4mm mesh size was selected for decrease of the maximum error rate 63.6%. As a result, the outside air flows in the clearance between the disk and shaft in case of B model. whereas, the outside air flows in the clearance or the outlet of the ventilation holes in case of A and C models. And also average static pressure at the outlet was changed depending on shape of the ventilation holes and rotational speed of the disk in case of A and C models. Besides, in the B model, intake air according to the clearance goes with side surface of ventilation hole, and so increased by mean velocity of 4.64m/s and mean pressure of 0.58pa in the ventilation hole outlet, in case of disk rotational speed of 146.21rad/s.

Photonic crystals, periodic structure with a high refractive index contrast modulation, have recently become very interesting platform for manipulation of light. The existence of a photonic bandgap, a frequency range in which propagation of light is prevented in all direction, makes photonic crystal very useful in application where spatial localization of light is required for waveguide, beam splitter, and cavity. But fabrication of 3 dimensional photonic crystal is still difficult process. a concept that has recently attracted a lot of attention is a planar photonic crystal based on a dielectric membrane, suspended in the air, and perforated with 2 dimensional lattice of hole. We show that the polymer slabs suspended in air with triangular lattice of air hole can exhibit the in-plane photonic bandgap for TE-like modes. The fabrication of Si master with pillar structure using hot embossing process was investigated for 2 dimensional low-index-contrast photonic crystal waveguide.

The position and size of holes in the partition of a double cavity are known to strongly affect the eigenfrequency of the longitudinal eigenmodes of the double cavity. To maximize or minimize the eigenfrequency of the hole-partitioned double cavity, two acoustical topology optimization problems are formulated and solved. While two sub-cavities are filled with air, a partition between them is assumed to consist of sub-partitions of variable acoustical properties. One design variable is assigned to each sub-partition, whose material properties are interpolated as those of an intermediate material between air and a rigid body. The penalty parameter of the used interpolation function is adjusted to obtain a distinct air and rigid body distribution at the converged stage in each acoustical topology optimization problem. A special attention is paid to the selection of initial values of design variables to obtain solutions as close to global optimum and symmetric as possible. To show numerical characteristics of these optimization problems, the formulated problems are first solved for the one-dimensional partition design domain and then for the two-dimensional partition design domain.

The adequate design of a passenger car braking system, which is directly related to the safety of a car, is very important since the safety is an essential design parameter of a car to keep men and car from the damage. The thermal behaviors of the ventilated disk has been investigated based on the air cooling effects during repeat braking operations. In this study, the thermal behavior of ventilated disk brake system was investigated by numerical method. The 3-Dimensional unsteady model was simulated by using a general purpose software package “FLUENT” to obtain the temperature distributions of disk and pad. The model includes the more realistic braking method, which repeats braking and release. The effects of aspect ratio of ventilated hole on the heat dissipation was investigated.

The properties of LTCC green tape with addition of binder were investigated in order to understand an effects of binder on multilayer processing. A green sheet form was fabricated through tape casting method with the MLS-22 powder. The lamination density increased with increasing amount of binder and lamination pressure. With increasing amount of binder, the elongation of ceramic sheets increased but the tensile stress and air-permeability decreased. The addition of excessive binder is caused defects in the green sheet during via hole punching. The optimum condition of the via hole without defects was observed from amount of the binder 10 wt%.

It happened fractures on special bolt which supported main landing gear actuator up-lock rod of aircraft. Cracks were initiated mainly from the center hole and the external thread of the special bolt. To find out failure root causes, metallographic, fractographic analyses as well as test work were carried out. From the fractographic study by SEM work, fracture occurred by a brittle intergranular type failure. The fracture could be occurred primarily by solid-metal-induced embrittlement due to cadmium embrittler penetrated into the flaw existed after machining work for center hole and thread on the bolt during baking treatment processing to eliminate hydrogen. For its successful application, cadmium EP bolts require proper and adequate baking treatment after electroplating, and make no more drilled center hole on the bolt to prevent same failure.

Novel breakthrough random-hole optical fibers (RHOFs) are fabricated in a draw tower facility, by tapering an optical fiber preform packed with a silica powder mixture capable of producing air holes in situ at the high temperature of tens of hundreds in degrees Celsius. Structural and propagation characteristics of the porous RHOF are explained briefly. Experimental investigations of the invented RHOF are performed for pressure sensor applications. Remarkable results are obtained for the RHOF with desirable pressure sensitivity independent of temperature, as is required for harsh conditions as in oil reservoirs.

The performance of screw air compressor is affected by rotor profile, lobe number, air end wrap angle, rotor L/D ratio, suction and discharge ports, revolutions of air end and load regulation control, etc. In general, an efficient screw compressor needs a rotor profile of which has a large flow cross-section area, short sealing lines and a small blow-hole. In this study, experimental study was performed with newly designed $5{\times}6$ rotor profile and various shapes of air end. Results show that the measured specific power consumption of the newly designed screw compressor appeared to be lower than any other published data for the equivalent screw compressors manufactured.

The air-jet loom represents a major step in the development of shutterless weaving due to its ability to weave a wide range of yarns at high speeds. The air-jet weaving involves inserting a pre-measured length of yarn through the wraps, which is shed by means of compressed air. The analysis of air flow characteristic of the main nozzle and acceleration tube is required for improving the loom performance. In this paper, we examined the effects of the main nozzle with different acceleration tubes as well as diameters. Also, we compared the performance of a straight-type tube with a Laval-type tube and the effect of installing a suction hole on the acceleration tube.
