In the present study, the second order response surface method (RSM) is carried out to get optimum thermal design for enhancing heat transfer in a square channel with bleed flow. The RSM is used as an optimization technique. To calculate the heat transfer, RNG k-epsilon model and enhanced wall function are used. To design optimum rib turbulators, two design variables such as attack angle of rib $({\alpha})$ and rib pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) are optimized. In these analyses, the channel inlet Reynolds number was fixed at 10,000 in both non-bleeding and bleeding cases. The response surfaces of two design variables are constructed in cases with and without bleed flow. As a result, the optimum (or highest) heat transfer values are almost the same in ranges of two cases with and without bleed flow. However, the friction losses in the case with bleed flow are lower than those without bleed flow.

Local and overall heat transfer characteristics of fin-flat tube heat exchangers with and without vortex generators are investigated. Local heat transfer coefficients are measured with the heat exchanger model using naphthalene sublimation technique. In case of a fin-flat tube heat exchanger without vortex generators, only the horseshoe vortices formed around tubes augment the heat transfer. On the other hand, longitudinal vortices created artificially by vortex generators enhance heat transfer dramatically in case of a fin-flat tube heat exchanger with vortex generators. Overall heat transfer coefficients are measured with the prototype of the fin-flat tube heat exchanger with and without vortex generators in a wind tunnel and results are compared with those of a fin-circular tube heat exchanger with wavy fin. Friction losses for heat exchangers are also measured and compared. The fin-flat tube heat exchanger with vortex generators is found to be more effective than the fin-circular tube heat exchanger with wavy fin.

The dispersion hardened $Cu-TiB_2$ composites are a promising candidate for applications as electrical contact materials. The $Cu-TiB_2$ composites for electrical contact materials can reduce material cost and resource consumption caused by wear, due to their good mechanical and electrical properties. In this study, we investigated the wear phenomenon for $Cu-TiB_2$ composites fabricated with hot extrusion, by varying particle sizes and volume fractions of $TiB_2$. The wear tests were performed under the dry sliding condition with a fixed total sliding distance of 40 m. The contact loads at a constant speed of 3.5 Hz were 20, 40, 60, and 80 N. The friction coefficients and wear losses were measured during wear tests. Worn surfaces and wear debris after wear tests were investigated using the scanning electron microscope and the optical microscope. The microstructures of interface between Cu matrix and $TiB_2$ particle before and after wear tests were studied by the transmission electron microscope.

Glazed curtain walls are façade systems frequently chosen in modern architecture for mid and high-rise buildings. From recent earthquakes surveys it is observed the large occurrence of non-structural components failure, such as storefronts and curtain walls, which causes sensitive economic losses and represents an hazard for occupants and pedestrians safety. In the present study, the behavior of curtain wall stick systems under seismic actions has been investigated through experimental in-plane racking tests conducted at the laboratory of the Construction Technologies Institute (ITC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) on two full-scale aluminium/glass curtain wall test units. A finite element model has been calibrated according to experimental results in order to simulate the behavior of such components under seismic excitation. The numerical model investigates the influence of the interaction between glass panels and aluminium frame, the gasket friction and the stiffness degradation of aluminium-to-glass connections due to the high deformation level on the curtain walls behavior. This study aims to give a practical support to researchers and/or professionals who intend to numerically predict the lateral behavior of similar façade systems, so as to avoid or reduce the need of performing expensive experimental tests.

In this study the effect of the content of $TiB_2$ on wear properties was investigated. $Cu-TiB_2$ composites have been fabricated by hot extrusion. Sliding wear tests were peformed by a pin-on-disk type wear test machine under dry condition and loads varied with from 20N to 80N at sliding speed 3.5Hz. The test results showed that the wear losses and the friction coefficients decreased with increasing $Cu-TiB_2$ volume fraction and increasing the size of $Cu-TiB_2$ particle. Wear property of $10{\mu}m,\;5 vol\%\; TiB_2$ specimen was excellent all of the wear specimens. It is thought that the increase of plastic flow resistivity due to uniform distribution of $10{\mu}m,\;5 vol\%\; TiB_2$ wear specimen would improve wear property. The worn surface and wear debris were examined by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.

The present study has been conducted to investigate the effects of rotation on heat/mass transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a two-pass square duct with and without discrete ribs. For stationary cases, the heat/mass transfer on the surfaces with and without discrete ribs is almost the same or reduced. For rotating cases, the gap flow affects differently the heat/mass transfer on leading and trailing surfaces with discrete ribs. On the leading surface of the first pass, the heat/mass transfer is slightly enhanced due to generating strong gap flow. On the trailing surface of the first pass, however, the heat/mass transfer is much decreased because the gap flow disturbs impingement of main flow. The phenomenon, that is, the heat/mass transfer discrepancy between the leading and trailing surfaces is distinctly presented with the increment of rotation number. The friction losses on each surface with discrete ribs are reduced because the blockage ratio decreases for both non-rotating and rotating cases. Therefore, high thermal performance appears in a duct with discrete ribs.

Viscosity of hydraulic oils decreases due to loss reduction and efficiency increase of fluid power systems. However, low viscosity is not always appropriate due to the induction of large leakage and small lubricity. Therefore, a detailed study on the optimum viscosity of hydraulic oils is necessary. In this study, based on the thermohydrodynamic lubrication theory, numerical simulation was conducted using the slipper model of swashplate-type axial piston pumps and motors. The viscosity grades' (VG) effects of oils on power losses are mainly discussed numerically in fluid film lubrication, including changes in temperature and viscosity. The simulation results reveal that the flow rate increases and the friction torque decreases as VG decreases. The film temperature and power loss were minimised for a specific oil with a VG. The minimum conditions regarding the temperature and loss were different and closed. Under various operating conditions, the film temperature and power loss were minimised, suggesting that an optimum hydraulic oil with a specific VG could be selected for given operating conditions of pressure and speed. Otherwise, a preferable operating condition must be established to determine a specific VG oil.

Natural gas is a high-octane fuel that is effective in controlling knocking combustion. In addition, as a low-carbon fuel with a high hydrogen-carbon ratio, it emits less carbon dioxide and almost no particulate matter compared to conventional fossil fuels. Stoichiometric combustion engines equipped with a three-way catalyst are useful in various fields such as transportation and power generation because of their excellent exhaust emission reduction performance. However, stoichiometric combustion engines have a disadvantage of lower thermal efficiency compared to lean combustion engines. In this study, a combination of high compression ratio and Atkinson cycle was implemented in a 11 liter, 6-cylinder, spark-ignition engine to improve the thermal efficiency of the stoichiometric engine. As a result, pumping and friction losses were reduced and the operating range was extended with optimized Atkinson camshaft. Based on the exhaust gas limit temperature of 730℃, the maximum load and thermal efficiency were improved to BMEP 0.66 MPa and BTE 35.7% respectively.

도시 우수 배수 시스템에서 우수 관거는 개수로 흐름 상태로 가정하여 설계되었기 때문에 합류맨홀에서의 에너지 손실은 일반적으로 중요하게 고려되지 않았다. 그러나 과부하흐름에서 에너지 손실은 관거의 배수능력을 저하시켜 도심지역의 침수피해를 가중시키는 요인이 된다. 그러므로 과부하 합류맨홀 내에서의 수두 손실을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 합류맨홀에 대한 문헌조사 및 현장조사를 실시하여 실험장치를 제작하고 실험조건을 선정하였다. 선정된 실험조건인 맨홀 형상 조건(사각형, 원형), 유출유량($Q_3$)에 대한 측면유입유량($Q_2$)의 비($Q_2/Q_3$) 및 실험 유량(2.0, 3.0, $4.0{\ell}$/sec)을 변화시키면서 실험을 실시하였다. $Q_2/Q_3$가 증가할수록 손실계수가 증가하므로 과부하 합류맨홀에서의 손실계수는 측면 유입관로의 유입유량의 영향을 크게 받는다고 판단된다. 맨홀의 형상변화 및 유량변화에 따른 손실계수는 거의 동일하게 산정되었다. 또한, $Q_2/Q_3$와 손실계수의 관계식을 제시하였다.

도시 우수 배수 시스템에서 우수 관거는 개수로 흐름 상태로 가정하여 설계되었기 때문에 맨홀에서의 에너지 손실은 일반적으로 중요하게 고려되지 않았다. 그러나 과부하흐름에서 에너지 손실은 관거의 배수능력을 저하시켜 도심지역의 침수피해를 가중시키는 요인이 된다. 그러므로 과부하 사각형 맨홀 내에서의 수두 손실을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 FLUENT 6.3 모형을 이용하여 과부하 사각형 합류맨홀에서의 흐름특성을 모의하고 맨홀 내 손실수두의 변화를 계산하여 손실계수를 산정하였다. 또한 실험결과와 수치모의 결과를 비교 및 분석하여 사각형 맨홀에서의 손실계수 산정에 FLUENT 6.3모형의 적용성을 확인하였다. 맨홀 폭(B)과 연결관경(d)의 비(B/d)에 따른 손실계수를 산정하였다. B/d가 증가할수록 사각형 합류 맨홀에서의 손실계수는 증가하였다. 중간 단차 맨홀에서 단차 변화에 따른 손실계수의 변화를 산정하였다. 단차가 5 cm이상 증가하면 맨홀 내 수심과 손실계수가 점진적으로 증가하였으므로 중간 맨홀에서의 적정 단차는 5 cm로 판단된다. 따라서 우수 관거 시스템의 여러 형태의 사각형 맨홀에서의 흐름의 변화 및 손실계수를 예측할 때, Fluent 6.3 모형은 사용 가능하리라 판단된다.
