  • The transition from a statified wavy to a slug flow has been analyzed considering the mechanistic forces acting on the wave crest in a nearly horizontal air-water countercurrent flow. To verify the results of the analysis, a series of experiments have been performed changing the inclination angle of the test section. Comparisons of the theoretical predictions with experimental data show a good agreement and the results show that the present model gives similar results of Taitel and Dukler's in the case of inclined pipes. However, at high superficial liquid velocity, the results of present work agree more closely with data than that of Taitel and Dukler's. Also, predictions of the present model gives a very close agreement with the experimental data for various tube sizes obtained by others.

  • In considering the issue of safely during emergency building evacuations, it is important to be able to make accurate predictions about evacuation conditions and to be able to assess safety levels. Simulation techniques are often used to make predictions regarding evacuation conditions. The two main types of prediction models are crowd flow models and discrete models. We have developed an evacuation simulation system based on the discrete model which attempts to address the implementation problems of existing evacuation models. Our model incorporates characteristics such as evacuee profiles and spatial considerations, and is capable of dynamically predicting the behavior of individual evacuees. The simulation system is primarily designed for buildings in which many people are incapacitated and require helpers in order to evacuate, such as hospitals and facilities fur the elderly. We show the results that the evacuation simulation system was used to perform two trial simulations.

  • Hammer forging was employed for Alloy 718 disk. The change in grain size during hot forging depends very much on dynamic recrystallization. The final grain size depends especially on the critical strain$($\varepsilon$_C)$/TEX> for dynamic recrystallization and Zener-Holloman parameter(Z). In this study, the critical strain$($\varepsilon$_C)$, the strain for 50 pct. recrystallization$($\varepsilon$_{0.5})$ and fraction of dynamic recrystallization(Xdyn) were measured by compression tests. FE simulation was also carried out ot predict the evolution of microstructure. The strain, strain rate and temperature distribution predicted by forging simulation can be effectively used to predict the distribution of grain sizes in the forged workpiece. The present model predictions showed an excellent agreement with the microstructural evolution of hammer-forged Alloy 718 disks.

  • The film condensation models in RELAP5/MOD3.1 and RELAP5/WOD3.2 are assessed with the data experiment performed in the scaled down condensation experimental facility with a single vertical tube inner diameter 46 mm in the range of pressure 0.1∼7.5 Mpa for the PSCS(Passive Secondary Condenser System) Both MOD3.1 and MOD3.2 don't shows any reliable predictions the experimental data The RELAP5/MOD3.1 overpredicts the heat transfer coefficients experiment, whereas the RELAP5/MOD3.2 underpredicts those data it is recommended that the film condonation model in RELAP5/MOD3.2 should be modified to hue a larger heat transfer coefficient than those the present model to give the reliable predictions.

  • This paper assesses the two-equation turbulence models available in a commercial code, FLUENT, for heat transfer in a turbulent heated pipe flow. In case of flow under $Re_D=10,000$, Standard $\kappa-\epsilon$ and Realizable $\kappa-\epsilon$ models overpredict the Nusselt number about $20\%$ compared with the experimental correlation, and RNG $\kappa-\epsilon$ model overpredicts about $30\%$ when the two-layer zonal method is employed. When wall function method is adopted, all $\kappa-\epsilon$ models show better predictions. Standard $\kappa-\omega$ and SST $\kappa-\omega$ models have the dependency on the first grid point ($0.3). As Reynolds number becomes high, the predictions of all $\kappa-\epsilon$ and $\kappa-\omega$ models are in a good agreement with the experimental correlation.

  • The bearing capacity of open-ended piles is affected by the degree of soil plugging, which is quantified by the IFR. There is not at present a design criterion for open-ended piles that explicitly considers the effect of IFR on pile load capacity In order to investigate this effect, model pile load tests using a calibration chamber were conducted on instrumented open-ended piles. The results of these tests show that the IFR increases with increasing relative density and increasing horizontal stress of soils. The unit base and shaft resistances decrease with increasing IFR. Based on the results of the model pile tests, new empirical relations for base load capacity and shaft load capacity of open-ended piles are proposed. In order to check the accuracy of predictions made with the proposed equations, the equations were applied to the full-scale pile load test preformed in this study, Based on the comparisons with the pile load test results, the proposed equations appear to produce satisfactory predictions.

  • Collaborative-filtering-enabled Web sites that recommend books, CDs, movies, and so on, have become very popular on the Internet. Such sites recommend items to a user on the basis of the opinions of other users with similar tastes. This paper discuss an approach to collaborative filtering based on the Simple Bayesian and apply this model to two variants of the collaborative filtering. One is user-based collaborative filtering, which makes predictions based on the users' similarities. The other is item-based collaborative filtering which makes predictions based on the items' similarities. To evaluate the proposed algorithms, this paper used a database of movie recommendations. Empirical results show that the proposed Bayesian approaches outperform typical correlation-based collaborative filtering algorithms.

  • Investigated via a series of finite element process simulation is the effect of diverse process variables on some selected non-dimensional parameters characterizing the strip in hot strip rolling. Then on the basis of these parameters an on-line model is derived for the precise prediction of roll and roll power. The prediction accuracy of the proposed model is examined through comparison with predictions from a finite element process model.

  • Ionopheric deley is the largest error sources in GNSS positining. The single frequency receiver user needs an ionospheric model like the Klobuchar model or NeQuick model to eliminate the ionospheric error. In this study we estimated VTEC(Vertical Total Electron Content) over DAEJ station using the two models in each season. We compared the results with Global Ionosphere Maps and International Reference Ionosphere model predictions. As a result, the NeQuick model was more accurate than Klobuchar model.

  • This paper presents the validation of a stochastic model of muscle fatigue during static muscle contractions. Forty four laboratory experiments, covering eleven test conditions for two trained subjects, were run in order to estimate fatigue and recovery rates, based on EMG observations. The validation of the model was made by comparing the model predictions to the experimental fatigue time. The validation study supports that the stochastic model of muscle fatigue accurately represents the underlying fatigue process. The study also provides support that the fatigue model can be used as a monitor of individual muscle capabilities.
