Most of fluid systems, such as P&ID in ships, power plants, and chemical plants, consist of various components. The components such as bends, tees, sudden-expansions, sudden-contractions, and orifices contribute to overall pressure loss of the system. The local pressure losses across such components are determined using a pressure loss coefficient, k-factor, in lumped parameter models. In many engineering problems Idelchik's k-factor models have been used to estimate them. The present work compares the k-factor based on CFD calculation against Idelchik's model in order to confirm whether a commercial CFD package can be used for pressure loss coefficient estimation of complex geometries. The results show that RSM is the best appropriate for evaluating pressure loss coefficient. Commercial CFD package can be used as a tool evaluating k-factor even though the accuracy is influenced by a turbulence model.

Industrial reducer is in general use to Deck Crane. High-precision and high-efficient reducer is minimized the power-loss and energy-loss of a machine. So it contribute the price reduction and life extension. Reducer is usually using the Planetary gear reducer. Planetary gear reducer is composed the sun gear, planet gear, internal gear and casing. Industrial reducer's wear and breakage have a short-life. To solve this problem, it is using the profile-shifted-gear or tooth modification. This study was carried out the effect of addendum modification coefficient on tooth fillet bending strength to planetary reducer. Tooth fillet bending stress is calculate. And all parameter were expressed the function of addendum modification coefficient. And then stress concentration factor of tooth fillet curve was express the function of addendum modification coefficient using comparison between theory and finite element analysis.

Three different kinds of brake discs including two coated brake discs and one steel disc were tested under the same experimental conditions on a reduced scale braking test bench. A braking test bench was specially designed to analyse thermo-mechanical and frictional behaviors of two types of brake with different sizes in stop and hold braking modes. Plasma spray coating technique was also used to coat the discs with ceramic powder. During the test four commercial brake pads were coupled with discs. Ceramic coated discs showed good stability in friction coefficient at high speed and high energy braking conditions. But they caused large wear loss of pad mass compared with the steel disc. It was shown that thermal barrier effect in ceramic coated discs adjusted the thermal partition between pad and disc. For a steel disc. it showed fluctuating friction coefficient at high speed but small wear loss of pad mass compared with ceramic coated discs.

In this study, three kinds of brake: discs including two coated brake discs and one steel disc were tested under the same experimental conditions on a reduced scale braking test bench. Plasma spray coating technique was used to coat ceramic powder on the discs. In the test, four commercial sintered brake pads were coupled with discs. Ceramic coated discs have shown good stability in friction coefficient at high speed and high energy braking conditions. However, ceramic coated discs caused more wear loss of pad mass than the steel disc. It was shown that thermal barrier effect in ceramic coated discs adjusted the thermal partition between pad and disc. Steel disc showed fluctuating friction coefficient at high speed but less wear loss of pad mass than ceramic coated discs.

The need of comfortable car and the efforts to overcoming the noise regulations on passenger cars bring about a series of studies on the ruduction of exhaust noises. In this study, acoustic characteristics of various components that compose mufflers of automobiles were analyzed theoretically, and the program which predicts the performance of mufflers was developed by the transfer matrix approach. The simulations were verified by the experiments on a real muffler. By using the developed simulation program, we investigate the effects of each component on the entire muffler system and the energy loss coefficient on absorption materials in the front muffler. Finally, we proposed two designs to improve the performance of a muffler and verified the improved performance by the experiments and simulations.

This study deals with the characteristics of degraded stainless steel. Stainless steel is heat treated to ensure mechanical properties when designing or manufacturing machinery parts or equipment. In this study, the mechanical properties and wear characteristics of three kinds of stainless steels after artificially heat-treated at 753 K~993 K, where chrome depletion occurs near the grain boundary, were evaluated. The microstructure and fracture surface were also observed. From the results, friction coefficient and wear loss decreased with increasing the heat treatment temperature regardless of the type of stainless steel. Also, as the tensile strength increased, the friction coefficient and wear loss decreased. Wear loss showed proportional to a tendency to increase with increasing friction coefficient.

Under the assumption that thermal conductivity of the fin is constant and the conditions ate steady state, effects of non-constant and thermally asymmetric root temperature and unequal surrounding convection coefficients of the fin on the heat loss from a fin of rectangular profile are investigated. The heat loss form a rectangular fin becomes maximum when the highest root temperature deviates from the fin center to the fin side which has a higher convection coefficient as surrounding convection coefficients of the fin increase and as the difference between the convection coefficient of fin top side and that of fin bottom side increases.

The knowledge of substrate material properties is important in antenna design. We present a technique to accurately characterize the dielectric constant and loss tangent of an antenna substrate based on the measurements of antenna's reflection coefficient and bandwidth. In this technique, an error function is formulated by combinations of the reflection coefficient and bandwidth of measured and simulated data, and then an optimization technique is used to efficiently search for the substrate properties that minimize the error function. The results show that the method is effective in retrieving the dielectric constant and loss tangent of the antenna substrate without the need of additional test fixtures as in conventional substrate characterization methods.

Two ZnSe loss plates were installed in the resonator of waveguide CO2 laser which consisted of Pyrex capillary tube in order to change the internal loss. By rotating the loss plates, the output variations with the internalloss was measured on various discharge conditions. The variations could be explained by the Rigrod theory. and the saturation power and the unsaturated gain coefficient were determined by fitting of the experimental results. It was found that the saturation power increased while the unsaturated gain coefficient reduced as the discharge current or the gas flow rate increased.reased.
