Observed spectra of stars around the Sun have indicated that the Sun is located in a gas cavity, extending to 100pc. This gas cavity is called the "Local Bubble". The density of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the local bubble is about one tenth that of the average for the ISM in the Milky Way. Furthermore, some structures such as gas planes and strings in the local bubble are probably the result of supernovae. These, due to their low temperatures, can not be observed in the visible and infrared. The only way to do so is to measure the spectra of nearby stars so that the light of stars passing through the local bubble is absorbed by existing gas and the resulting spectral lines from absorption can be measured. In this study, we use binary stars to trace the local bubble structures through lines such as the Na I Doublet. First, we determined the observed spectral lines of stars by HARPS and FEROS echelle spectrographs. Then, we made synthetic spectra with the ATLAS9 code. Finally, the difference between the observational and synthetic spectra confirms the existence of the Na I Doublet in the local ISM.

In order to find out whether a reflectron can be used as a mass selector in the gas cluster experiment, computer simulation are performed using the SIMION’ program. flight paths of energetic particles in the reflectron does not depend on their mass but energy. In the case of $(CO_2)n $ gas cluster, however, the position of clusters just after passing through the reflectron are spacially distributed with respect to the mass. The reason that the masses spacially distributes is the E/m ratio of clusters is constant, and it is the key reason that a reflectron can be used as a mass selector. Mass resolution does not depend on the cluster size and incident angle of clusters, and it is proportional to the incident position of clusters. This means that mass resolution can be enhanced by resizing the dimension of a reflectron. Therefore, it is concluded that a reflectron can be used as a mass selector with excellent mass resolution in the gas cluster experiment.

Recently among after-treatment devices which have high possibility of utility diesel oxidation catalyst(DOC) is concerned over the world. DOC oxidizes pollutants by means of activate-reaction during by-passing in the catalyst in doing so conversion efficiency of PM, CO and HC is high and this device does not have an effect on engine performance because back pressure is not nearly increased, But as a small amount of sulfur content in fuel is oxidized it makes sulfate which is absorbed on the surface of catalyst. So in this study the experiment is carried out by means of using ordinary fuel(0.1wt%) and low sulfur fuel(0.05wt%) with DOC and the emission gas of diesel engine is measured.

In this paper, we introduce an edge-spike modulation method for visible light communication (VLC). This method is effective in preventing LED flicker and 120 Hz noise interference in base-band VLC. In the VLC transmitter, edge-spikes are generated by passing the digital data through a simple RC-high pass filter (HPF). The LED modulation of the edge-spikes does not change the average power of the LED light; thus it prevents LED flicker. In the VLC receiver, the 120 Hz noise from other lighting lamps is easily eliminated by RC-HPF, while the edge-spike signal is detected normally. In our experiment, the message of an air-quality sensor was successfully transmitted using edge-spike modulation. This structure is useful in constructing, e.g., wireless gas monitoring sensor systems to warn and prevent harmful gas leakage accidents in buildings using LED light.

The permeability of concrete influences the durability of concrete remarkably. This paper describes a programme of permeability tests carried out to determine the differences between permeability coefficients derived using water, oxygen and chloride ions. Tests have been carried out on three concretes having water/cement ratios of 0.45, 0.55, 0.65 to measure their water, chloride-ion and gas permeability coefficients. The test results indicate that the permeability of concrete increase with the increase water cement ratios. The water and gas permeability coefficients is presented from $1.43$\times$10^{-10} to 19.01$\times$10^{-10}m/s$ and from $0.88$\times$10^{-10}$ to $1.59$\times$10^{-10}$m$^2$for concrete of different water cement ratios. The current intensity passing through the concrete is presented from 4504 to 4920 C.

Unsteady numerical study has been conducted on combustion dynamics of a lean-premixed swirl-stabilized gas turbine swirl injector. A three-dimensional computation method utilizing the message passing interface (MPI) parallel architecture, large eddy simulation(LES), and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique was applied. The unsteady turbulent flame dynamics are simulated so that the turbulent flame structure can be characterized in detail. It was observed that some fuel lumps escape from the primary combustion zone, and move downstream and consequently produce hot spots. Those flame dynamics coincides with experimental data. In addition, basis modes of the unsteady turbulent flame are characterized using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis. The flame structure based on odd basis modes is apparently larger than that of even ones. The flame structure can be extracted from the summation of the basis modes and eigenvectors at any moment.

Fly ash enters axial compressor when a turbomachinery is operated in an adverse environment. We have numerically investigated erosion of the blade and shroud in the turbulent compressor passage flow under the influence of gas-particle two-phase interaction. There have appeared quasi-three dimensional calculations on this subject but not the complete three-dimensional gas-particle interaction as done in the present work. Lagrangian particle tracing technique is used on the base of parallel processing for efficient calculation. Accuracy of the present code is tested using the benchmark lPL nozzle. In the DFVLR compressor blades, we have shown that a large number of particles passing through the tip clearance make impact on the blade tip and on the shroud. Higher degree of erosion is resulted by the heavier particles due to the centrifugal force.

The objective of present study is to analyze a concentric triple-passage heat exchanger for an optimal design of a continuous hot steel-tube cooling system, where a hot-steel tube line is passing through an antioxidant gas with a constant speed. Velocities and temperatures of the inert gas flowing between inner and outer tubes are calculated theoretically for laminar and numerically for turbulent flow regimes. From their profiles Nusselt numbers and friction factors are calculated (or various ratios of inner/outer tube radii and relative velocities. With these Nusselt numbers triple-passage heat exchangers are investigated for their thermal characteristics. It is shown that heat transfer coefficients based on ratios of average heat fluxes from inner and outer tubes might result in great errors for the temperature distributions of the flows, since local heat transfer coefficients for flows through an annulus are dependent on local wall heat flux ratios.

With a view to manufacturing membranes for separation of gas mixtures, Al foils were anodized in a 2% oxalic-acid electrolyte at 40V and 80V. When anodizing was completed and Barrier layer existed at the extreme back site of the foil, the anodized foil was made to react with only electrolyte, with switching off the electric power. When the size and density of pores were changed through voltage change, the membr-anes did not show large difference in the permeability. Reacting with electrolyte, the existing Barrier layer turns into porous layer. During this process, several small pores grow from one relatively large pore, getting to the back site. The number and size of the small pores getting to the back surface increase as time passing. This change of Barrier layer into porous layer is thought to be directly related to the permeability change of the membranes. The selectivity of an anodized Al membrane was not related to the voltage change, and was high, being similar to the theoretical selctivity of metallic membranes, according to my observation.
