Wheel and rail wear is a fundamental and complicate problem in railway field. The life of railway is usually limited by wear. The wheel surface is subjected to high normal and tangential contact stress. The removal of material from the surface by wear is function of the sliding and contact stress. In the present paper, the wear characteristic depended on slip rate, contact pressure and temperature are investigated and is used to twin disc tester. The result shows that the wear in wheel-rail interface is remarkably depended on slip rate and contact pressure.

This paper describes the experiments of the corrosion and the sliding tests of the nickel-based alloys for the gate valve seating materials used at high pressure and temperature. The general corrosion rates and IGC susceptibility are tested in pressurized water at 533 K and 575 K and in Strauss test solution. The sliding tests have been done in pressurized water at 293 k, 473 K and 573 k. The alloys containing above 10% chromium may have the anti-corrosion properties that could be applied to the valve seats for the power plants. The good sliding performance and the good pressure tightness are obtained when the disc specimens that have hardness 500 to 600 Hv combined with the seat specimens that have hardness 250 to 410 Hv containing about 40 percent of iron. The large size gate valves sliding tests have certified the test results. The anti-wear properties of the seat alloy and the anti-IGC susceptibility of the disc alloy could be improved by the addition of silicon and niobium, respectively.

The dynamic bending response of single walled carbon nanotube reinforced composite (SWCNTRC) plates subjected to hygro-thermo-mechanical loading are investigated in this paper. The mechanical load is considered as wind pressure for dynamic bending responses of SWCNTRC plate. The dynamic version of the High Order shear deformation Theory (HSDT) for a composite plate with Matrix and SWCNTRC plate is first formulated. Distribution of fibers through the thickness of the SWCNTRC plate could be uniform or functionally graded (FG). The dynamic displacement response is predicted by using Nemarck integration method. The effective material properties of SWCNTRC are estimated by using micromechanics based modeling approach. The effect of different environmental condition, volume fraction of SWCNT, Width-to-thickness ratio, wind pressure, different SWCNTRC-FG plates, boundary condition, E1/E2 ratio, different temperature on dynamic displacement response is investigated. The dynamic displacement response is compared with the available literature and it shows good agreement.

In this study, the shape of plate-fin type heat sink is numerically optimized to acquire the minimum pressure drop under the required temperature rise. To do this, a new sequential approximate optimization (SAO) is proposed and it is integrated with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In thermal/fluid systems for constrained nonlinear optimization problems, three fundamental difficulties such as high cost for function evaluations (i.e., pressure drop and thermal resistance), the absence of design sensitivity information, and the occurrence of numerical noise are confronted. To overcome these problems, the progressive quadratic response surface method (PQRSM), which is one of the sequential approximate optimization algorithms, is proposed and the heat sink is optimize by means of the PQRSM.

An acoustic total or partial enclosure is widely used to reduce the sound pressure level propagating from a noise source. However, the performance of the acoustic enclosure is decreased by its inherent limitations such as temperature rise or acoustic pressure build up inside the enclosed acoustic field. In general, a silencer is installed to overcome these limitations, for large amount of air can be exchanged through the silencers. In this reason, a parallel baffle type duct silencer with acoustic resonators is studied to reduce the transmitted noise from a transformer. In this silencer, the high frequency components of the transmitted noise over 360Hz are effectively absorbed by the parallel baffles and the other ones, 120 and 240 Hz, are reduced due to the presence of Helmholtz resonators. Large sound attenuation is achieved by applying the sound resonating barrier to the large transformers in a substation.

A dynamic characteristics of shock absorber in the various excitation is investigated experimentally. Work diagrams and characteristic curves are used as a experimental standard. The various excitation conditions temperature and noise are very important factors in associated with the reduction of damping force. It is found that the heat occurrence from shock absorber, the gas shock absorber is much higher than oil shock absorber and increased in high speed. As to the variation of damping force, there are no change when the speed is low but we fixed amount of variation by increasing speed and change of new and old decrease. The sound pressure of the swash noise from cycle of shock absorber, we compared with theory sound pressure by experiment.

In this study, we predicted the thermal breakdown of high-voltage interrupter with the characteristics of thermal plasmas such as temperature, pressure and concentration of the ablated material by using a commercial CFD program. The results showed that the pressure build-up inside the chamber was proportional to the magnitude of arcing current because the quantities of heat energy and ablated mass also increase together with the current during the compression process. And during the decompression process, the reverse flow was not coincided with the magnitude of the applied current due to the compressibility of the gas through backflow channel. The present method is expected to be useful for the design of guideline and interruption capacity on the thermal breakdown of a PASB chamber.

Recently, densified pollet fuel from wood biomass is widely used at North America and Europe as a regenerable and clean carbon neutral bioenergy. High-pressure compaction of sawdust of several species of wood to form a densified fuel was studied. Calorific and elemental analysis were carried out to assess pellet fuels Hot-press process was adopted for compact ion of sawdust and compaction was performed under prescribed condition. Densified fuels were evaluated by its oven-dry density and fines after 5-minute shaking test. The target density and fines of densified fuels were over $1.2g/cm^3$ and below 0.5%, respectively. When the press-temperature is over $60^{\circ}C$ densified fuels with density over $1.2g/cm^3$ and with fines below 0.5% can be produced. And the pressure over $1000kgf/cm^2$ was effect ive for this production.

Lots of techniques are adopted for a flame stabilization and a high-load combustion. But the techniques being used were passive control method which have to change combustor shape like pilot flame, flame stabilizer, pressure profile, etc. Active control method which is not necessary to transform its shape is employed. Acoustical excitation is broadly used for its convenience in changing frequency and intensity. Both acoustical excitation and flame stabilizers were adopted to study their relationship. So, we investigated flammability limits. Flame visualization. And mean temperature in the condition of various frequencies, intensities, and flame stabilizers. As a consequence, flammability limit were advanced in acoustically excited flame at some frequencies. Coherent structure was extended to the downstream region through acoustical excitation and a size of vortice was curtailed. Also width of recirculation zone was magnified. In addition, Effects of acoustical excitation was stood out at 25mm flame stabilizer rather than another ones.

We deposited Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) thin films on glass substrates ($200mm{\times}200mm$) by using in-line magnetron sputtering system. Effects of various deposition parameters such as working pressure, deposition power and substrate temperature on optoelectronic characteristics including surface-texture etching profiles were carefully investigated in this study. We found that relatively low working pressure and high deposition power offered to obtain enhanced conductivity and optical transmittance. Haze properties showed similar trend with the transmittance. Furthermore, surface-texture etching study exhibited good morphologies when the films were deposited at $200-300^{\circ}C$. On the basis of these optimizations, we could find the deposition region that produces highly transparent and conductive properties including efficient light scattering capability.
