This paper describes an experimental study of the effect of injection timing on the combustion characteristics in four stroke cycle diesel engine with direct injection type combustion chamber. The effect of injection timing and compression ratio of engine on the combustion characteristics are investigated. Experimental results of combustion characteristics in cylinder show that the combustion pressure and the rate of pressure rise decrease in accordance with the retard of fuel injection timing. It is observed that the rate of pressure rise in cylinder is increased an increase in the compression ratio of engine. The effect of the fuel injection timing on the frequency of cylinder pressure brings about the same trend of the maximum rate of pressure rise in cylinder.

Surrogate modeling is applied to a compressor blade shape optimization to modify its stacking line and thickness to enhance adiabatic efficiency and total pressure ratio. Six design variables are defined by parametric curves and three objectives; efficiency, total pressure and a combined objective of efficiency and total pressure are considered to enhance the performance of compressor blade. Latin hypercube sampling of design of experiments is used to generate 55 designs within design space constituted by the lower and upper limits of variables. Optimum designs are found by formulating a PRESS (predicted error sum of squares) based averaging (PBA) surrogate model with the help of a gradient based optimization algorithm. The optimum designs using the current variables show that, to optimize the performance of turbomachinery blade, the adiabatic efficiency objective is improved substantially while total pressure ratio objective is increased a very small amount. The multi-objective optimization shows that the efficiency can be increased with the less compensation of total pressure reduction or both objectives can be increased simultaneously.

Pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a periodically fully developed flow in the flat channel with protrusions are investigated. The effects of shape and location of protrusion on the pressure drop and heat transfer are numerically analyzed in the present study. Taguchi method is used to optimize these parameters. It is found that the ratio of the height of protrusion to channel height shows larger influence on the pressure drop and heat transfer than the ratio of the length of protrusion to module length. As the height of protrusion increases, pressure drop and heat transfer increase, but if the height of protrusion exceeds 2/3 of the channel height, there is a substantial pressure drop. The results also show that the optimal length and height of protrusion are half of the module length and half of the channel height, respectively.

The present paper reports the detailed study on the splicing behavior of viscose staple fiber yarns made from ring, rotor, friction and air-jet spinning technologies. The linear density of all the yearns was kept constant at 29.5 tex. The splicing parameters like splicing pressure and duration of the splicing were taken as variables. Three levels of splicing pressure at constant splicing duration and three levels of splicing durations at constant splicing pressure were considered. Splices were introduced at all these levels for the four different technologies. These splices were tested for their tensile properties and the properties of splices were evaluated in terms of retained splice strength (RSS) and splice break ratio (SBR). The splice photographs were taken and splices were analyzed for their structure and for diameter profile along the length of the splice.

Pressure compensating temperature control valve(TCV) is one of the important control devices, which is used to maintain the constant temperature of working fluid in power and chemical plants. The ratio of cylinder hole diameters of inlet and outlet is the main design parameters of TCV. So this needs to be investigated to improve the function of control of temperature and void fraction. In this study, numerical analysis is carried out with various ratios of cylinder hole diameters of the inlet and outlet in the TCV. Especial1y, the distribution of the static pressure Is investigated to calculate the new coefficient($C_{\upsilon}$) and resistance coefficient(K). The governing equations are derived from making using of three-dimensional Naver-Stokes equations with standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and SIMPLE algorithm. Using a commercial code, PHOENICS, pressure and flow fields in TCV are calculated with different inlet and outlet diameters of the cylinder hole for cold and hot water passages.

This parer presents a CVT line pressure control strategy for the increased shift speed. Firstly, an algorithm to increase the CVT shift speed is suggested based on a modified CVT shift dynamics and shift speed maps are constructed. In addition, simplified dynamic models of the line pressure and the ratio control valve are derived by considering the CVT shift dynamics, and low level control algorithms for the ratio and the line pressure control are proposed. Using the shift speed maps and the simplified dynamic models of the CVT system, shift performance is investigated. It is found from the experimental and simulation results that improved shift speed can be achieved by increasing the lilly pressure.

Experimental measurements are reported and compared with the results of a two-dimensional fluid simulation for the investigation of the discharge characteristics regarding the change of the mixture ratio of Ne-Xe-He noble gases. The increase of Xe contents results in the increases of luminance and luminous efficiency while it also results in the increase of the breakdown voltage and the discharge time lag. The addition of He gas increases the brightness and the luminance efficiency. When Xe partial pressure is low, the luminance efficiency increases with the amount of He at the same total pressure. When Xe partial pressure is high, however, the luminance efficiency has a maximum value when the partial pressure of He is about 10% of the total pressure for a standard AC PDP cell with Xe fraction of $10{\sim}30%$.

A new instantaneous flowmeter for hydraulics by means or cylindrical chokes is developed. In this method the instantaneous flowrate through chokes is predicted in real time from measurement of pressure difference on both sides of cylindrical choke. The experimental study for the flowrate of pulsating flow in a pipe is carried out to measure differential pressure drop by using a strain gauge pressure transducer with data acquisition and processing system. A pulsating flow is verified by a visualization method. In the present study, the flow characteristic variables of laminar pulsating flow are investigated analytically and experimentally in a circular pipe. Characteristic parameters of ratio of inertia term to pressure term($\phi_{t.1}$) and ratio of viscous term to pressure term($\phi_{z.1}$) are introduced to describe the flow pattern of laminar pulsating flow.

The purpose of this paper is to recycle coal ash as structural backfill materials from electric power plants. Two million tons of coal ash are produced annually. The laboratory test was executed for the basic compatibility as substitution for structural backfill materials and the optimal mixture ratio(fly ash : bottom ash) was decided. In addition the model test was performed using medium scale earth pressure model with small size earth pressure cells model box data logger and some other apparatuses. Mixed coal ash and excellent backfill materials(coheisonless soil SW) were compared in the view of lateral earth pressure variation depending on wall displacement. The reduction of earth pressure when coal ash was used as a bockfill material was monitored comparing to that of cohesionless soil. the cost and environmental pollutants by treating coal ash can be reduced through developing the recycling technology.

Three dimensional numerical studies were carried out to investigate the effect of aspect ratio on gas slip flow in rectangular microchannels. We focused on aspect ratio effect on slip velocity, pressure distribution and mass flow rate. As aspect ratio decreases the wall slip velocity also decreases. As a result nonlinearity of pressure distribution increases. The slip velocities on sides and top/bottom walls are different and this difference decreases with increasing aspect ratio. These two velocities are equal when aspect ratio is 1. The ratios of slip mass flow rate over noslip mass flow rate increases with increasing aspect ratios.
