ER clutch is a device using ER fluid, so called "intelligent material" and is a controlled system with electric field strength. Current problem of this device is that the temperature of ER fluid increases when ER clutch is operating and affects the performance of ER clutch. This study was undertaken to estimate this performance variation due to temperature increase of ER fluid. Analytic power transmission relationships and the temperature increase model using the rheological model of ER fluid were developed and the dynamic model of proposed ER clutch system was constructed, also. With this relationships, effects of changing geometric, kinetic parameters of ER clutch and ER fluid properties were described and performance variations due to temperature increases of ER fluid were estimated. In conclusion, compared with neglecting temperature increase effects, a performance of ER clutch was very differential. Therefore, to achieve uniform performance of ER clutch, we have to improve thermal stability of ER fluid with a view point of material development and design carefully ER clutch considering temperature increase effects with a view point of mechanical design skill.ign skill.

The cargo containment system (CCS) for ships carrying cryogenic fluid consists of at least two levels of barriers and insulation layers. It is because, even though there is a small amount of leak through the primary barrier, the liquid tight secondary barrier blocks further leakage of the cryogenic fluid. However, once the secondary barrier is damaged, it is highly possible that the leaked cryogenic fluid flows through the flat joint made of glass wool and reaches the inner hull of the ship. The primary objective of the present study is to investigate the influence of the damage extent in the secondary barrier on the amount of leaked cryogenic fluid reaching the inner hull and the temperature distribution there. Simulation results using a computational fluid dynamics tool were compared with the experimental data for the leaked cryogenic fluid flow and evaporation in the secondary insulation layer. The experimental and computational results suggest that, unless there is a massive leak, the cryogenic fluid mostly evaporates in the insulation layer and does not reach the inner hull in the state of liquid.

The operational effect of traffic signal control improvement was evaluated using the Two-Fluid Model. The parameters engaged in the Two-Fluid Model becomes food indicators to measure the quality of traffic flow due to the improvement of traffic signal operation. A series of experiment were conduced for the 31 signalized intersections in Uijeongbu City. To estimate the parameters in the Two-Fluid Model the trajectory informations of individual vehicles were collected using the CORSIM and Run Time Extension. The test results showed 35 percent decrease of average minimum trip time per unit distance. One of the parameters in the Two-Fluid Model is a measure of the resistance of the network to the degraded operation with the increased demand. The test result showed 28 percent decrease of this parameter. In spite of the simulation results of the arterial flow, it was concluded that the Two-Fluid Model is useful tool to evaluate the improvement of the traffic signal control system from the macroscopic aspect.

The infusion of fluid and blood is necessary in the ward, operating room, recovery room, neonatal room, etc. for nutrition and blood supply to the patient, but air bubbles generated during infusion of fluid and blood circulate along the artery or vein. Serious illnesses occur and there is also a risk of death. In this paper, we propose a medical bubble detection system, a bubble detection system, a bubble detection alarm system, and a communication method in order to develop a safer fluid and blood injection system in the existing system, which is detected by a medical staff monitoring system or an ultrasonic bubble detection sensor In this study, infrared rays are transmitted to a tube through a tube for injecting fluid or blood into a patient, infrared rays transmitted by an infrared ray emitting section are received, and the amount of light is measured in real time. Based on the data, we study how to detect and analyze the presence of bubbles in fluid and blood.

Most of existing wind turbine system is used with geared type; however, this type has lots of problems which are noisy, weight, maintenance and so on. In this paper, wind turbine system with fluid torque converter applied to solve these problems. In case of the proposed wind turbine system, it is possible to transmit torque to adaptable distance. So various sets including generator, inverter and auxiliary motor move from the nacelle to the ground. As a result, Total weight in Nacelle can be decreased. however, the efficiency can be decreased with fluid torque system. We also applied auxiliary motor to fluid torque system. So, we also realized rated revolutions and rated output windturbine and could get considerable good data.

Ejector system is one of fluid machinery which can entrain the fluid in low pressure part and transport it to the higher pressure part. The ejector system has been widely used for the purpose of obtaining high-vacuum state, fluid transport, thrust augmentation, etc. It can transport a large capacity of fluid with relatively small device of no any moving parts, and thus seldom causes mechanical troubles. However, the conventional ejector system has been pointed out that its overall efficiency is quite low compared with other fluid machinery since it is derived by only the pure shear stresses. In the present study, 4, 6, and 8 lobed petal nozzles with a design Mach number of 1.7 are adopted as a primary nozzle to improve the ejector performance, and are compared with a conventional circular nozzle. The static pressures along the diffuser wall are measured to qualify the flow field inside the supersonic petal ejector system.

e-AIRS, an abbreviation of 'e-Science Aerospace Integrated Research System,' is a virtual organization supporting CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulations, remote experimental service, and collaborative and integrative study between computation and experiment. e-AIRS works on the e-Science environment and research process is accomplished through the web portal. By the system development since 2005, a stable education system with the full support on fluid dynamics is successfully established and utilized to various fluid dynamic lectures in universities. By using e-AIRS system during a lecture, students can conduct the full CFD simulation process on the web and inspect the wind tunnel experiment via Access Grid. This kind of interactive lecture makes students to have a deeper understanding on the physics of fluid, as well as the characteristics of numerical techniques. The current paper will describe system components of e-AIRS and its utilization on education.

This work describes an on-line method and procedure for calculating the fluid properties in real time while system is in operation. The method utilizes function blocks of distributed control systems. Thermodynamic relations of fluid from tables along with a fluid property formula are imbedded into the proposed signal processing block. Once the pressure and temperature measurements are entered the system provides other properties.

In this paper the vibration system is consisted of a rotating cantilever pipe conveying fluid. The equation of motion is derived by using the Lagrange's equation. Also, the equation of motion is derived applying a modeling method that employs hybrid deformation variables. Generally, the system of pipe conveying fluid becomes unstable by flutter. So, we studied about the influences of the rotating angular velocity, mass ratio and the velocity of fluid flow on the stability of a cantilever pipe by the numerical method. The influences of mass ratio, the velocity of fluid, the angular velocity of a cantilever pipe and the coupling of these factors on the stability of a cantilever pipe are analytically clarified. The critical fluid velocity$(u_{cr})$ is proportional to the angular velocity of the cantilever pipe. In this paper Flutter(instability) always occur in the second mode of the system.
