This study is about the effect of braiding on the 2-D biaxial braided hollow composite(BD) compared with unidirectional hollow composite(UD). The specimens were made of T700S Carbon/Epoxy prepreg and T700S dried Carbon yarns. Fiber volume fraction of UD and BD was obtained experimentally and analytically. Fiber volume fraction of BD was derived based on unit cell of braiding yarn section. Bending test was executed to investigate the effect of braiding part. The result of experiment and analysis of fiber volume fraction has good agreement. Bending strength of BD is about 20% higher than that of UD.

A hybrid mesh based finite volume compressible flow code (PolySim) has been developed recently. Instead of the simple average method for the gradients of variables at each face, the volume average is applied for the calculation of the viscous flux. What is more, an improved Green Gauss method for the calculation of the gradient is also presented. These two techniques will improve both the accuracy and robustness of the code. The aerodynamic performance of this in-house cell centered code is examined by several widely-used bench-mark test cases. These cases include flows over flat plate and RAE 2822 etc. The comparisons on results between calculation and experiment are conducted. They show that the code can produce good numerical results which agree well with the corresponding experiment data.

The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) with the advantages of low-operating temperature, high current density, low cost and volume, fast start-up ability, and suitability for discontinuous operation becomes the most reasonable and attractive power system for transportation vehicle and micro-grid power plant in a household. 200W PEM-type FCs system was integrated by this study, then the electrical characteristics and diagnosis of the fuel cell were analyzed with variations on mass flow rate and stack temperature. The ranges of the variations are $20{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ on stack temperature and 1~8L/min on $H_2$ volume.

The stiffness model has been proposed to predict elastic constants of twisted yarn composites. The model is based upon the unit cell structure, the coordinate transformation, and the volume averaging of compliance constants for constituent materials. For the correlation of analytic results with experiments, composite samples of various yarn twist angle were tested. The samples were fabricated by the RTM process using glass yarns and epoxy resin. The correlations of elastic constants showed relatively good agreements. The model provides the predictions of the three-dimensional engineering constants, which are valuable input data for the analytic characterization of textile composites made of twisted yarn.

An approach for predicting the effective thermal conductivities of fiber-reinforce composite has been developed based on a thermal-electrical analogy. The unit cell of the composite laminate is divided into regular volume elements and the material properties have been given to each element. By constructing the series-parallel thermal resistance network, the thermal conductivities of composite both in-plane and out-of-plane direction have been predicted. Graphite/Epoxy composite is used for a balanced plain-weave composite laminate. By comparing the predicted results and the previous works, good agreement has been found.

The geometric and elastic models based on the unit cell have been proposed to predict the geometric characteristics and the engineering constants of plain and satin woven composites. In the geometric model, length and inclined angle of the yarn crimp and the fiber volume fraction of woven composites have been predicted. In the elastic model, the coordinate transformation has been utilized to transform the elastic constants of the yarn crimp to those of woven composites, and the effective elastic constants have been determined from the volume averaging of the constituent materials. Good correlations between the model predictions and the experimental results of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy woven composites have been observed. Based on the model, the effect of various geometric parameters and materials on the three-dimensional elastic properties of woven composites can be identified.

Acetoin and ammonia, the precursors of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) having "nutty " or "roasted" flavors, were produced by cultivating Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1. The effects of the volume concentration ratio (VCR) of cell-free medium on the formation of TMP were investigated using a rotary evaporator at $70^{\circ}C than at 80^{\circ}C$. As the VCR increased, the formation of TMP and the conversion ratio of acetoin to TMP increased. More TMP were formed at $70^{\circ}C than at 80^{\circ}C$. As the VCR increased, the concentration of acetoin decreased implying the formation of TMP from acetoin and ammonia.

Some sulfur coompounds dissimilation characteristcs of Thermococcus sp. DT1331 were studied. DT1331 had ether-like lipid compounds in addition to esters in the cell membrane. The specific growth rates of DT1331 decreased with increasing head spaces of the cultures. However, when the ratio of head space volume to medium volume was 5.60, the strain showed no growth. DT1331 showed vigo- rous growth with 1% or more elemental sulfur addition. Cystine could substitute elemental sulfur and DT1331 showed moderate growth with 0.1% or more cystine concentration. The specific growth rate and maximum cell concentration of Thermococcus sp. DT1331 in the presence of elemental sulfur were 0.80 hr$^{-1}$ and 2.0 x 10$^{8}$ cells/ml, respectively, while they were 0.67 hr$^{-1}$ and 1.1 x 10$^{8}$ cells/ml, respectively in the presence of cystine.

The effects of thickness, silicon and manganese contents on the mechanical properties of 3.3 wt%C-0.1 wt%S thin-section gray cast iron plates were investigated. The eutectic cell counts and volume fraction of pearlite in the matrix decreased with increased thickness and therefore the strength and hardness decreased with it. Even though the eutectic cell count increased with increased silicon content, the volume fraction of pearlite decreased and the strength and hardness decreased with it. The pearlite was refined more with increased manganese content and therefore the strength and hardness increased with it.
