In pressure cooling system, produce were packed in vented box and cooled rapidly by producing a difference in air pressure on opposite faces of stacks of vented box. So, energy requirements and performance of pressure cooling system depended upon the air flow rate and the static pressure drop through packed produce in vented box. The static pressure drop across packed produce in vented box normally depended upon air flow rate, vent area of box and conditions of produce bed (depth, porosity, stacking patterns, size and shape of products) in box. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of vent area and air flow rate on airflow resistance of empty box and packed produce in vented box, and to investigate the relationship between the air flow resistance of packed products in vented box and sum of air flow resistance of empty box only and products in bulk only. Mandarins and tomatoes were used in the experiment. The airflow rate were in the range of 0.02~1.0$m^3$/s.$m^2$, the opening ratio of vent hole were in the range of 2.5~20% of the side area. The results were summerized as follows. 1. The pressure drops across vented box increased in proportion to superficial air velocity and decreased in proportion to opening ratio of vent hole. A regression equation to calculate airflow resistance of vented box was derived as a function of superficial air velocity and opening ratio of vent hole. 2. The pressure drops across packed produce in vented box increased in proportion to superficial air velocity and decreased in proportion to opening ratio of vent hole. 3. Because of the air velocity increase in the vicinity of vent hole in box, the airflow resistances of packed products in vented box were always higher than sum of air flow resistance of empty box only and products in bulk only. 4. Based on the airflow resistance of empty box and products in bulk, a regression equation to calculate airflow resistance of packed products in vented box was derived.

This paper describes the results of a pile pullout test considering the confine pressure and fines content of the ground. The Pullout tests were conducted under various ground conditions using model piles. The effect of ground confine pressure on the pullout resistance and the pullout resistance parameters of the pile were evaluated based on the experimental results. The results of pullout test showed that the maximum pullout resistance occurred at a pullout displacement of about 7mm to 9mm, regardless of the fines content and the confine pressure of the ground. The maximum pullout resistance of the pile decreased as the fines content of the ground increased, and this trend became clearer as the confine pressure increased. The pullout resistance calculated by theoretical formula was compared with the experimental results in order to ensure the reliability of the pullout test results. The comparative results showed that the experimental and theoretical values showed a tendency to decrease the pullout resistance as the fines content increased, in all confine pressure conditions. The analysis result of the pullout resistance parameters confirmed that the pullout resistance was greatly influenced by the adhesion compared to the interface friction angle, as the fines content of the ground around the pile increased.

This study investigated the microstructure and wear resistance property of HPHT(high pressure high temperature) sintered PDC(polycrystalline diamond compact) in accordance with initial molding pressure. After quantifying an identical amount of diamond powder, the powder was inserted in top of WC-Co sintered material, and molded under four different pressure conditions (50, 100, 150, $200kgf/cm^2$). The obtained diamond compact underwent sintering in high pressure, high temperature conditions. In the case of the $50kgf/cm^2$ initial molding pressure condition, cracks were formed on the surface of PDC. On the other hand, PDCs obtained from $100{\sim}200kgf/cm^2$ initial molding pressure conditions showed a meticulous structure. As molding pressure increased, low Co composition within PDC was detected. A wear resistance test was performed on the PDC, and the $200kgf/cm^2$ condition PDC showed the highest wear resistance property.

This study was carried out to investigate the change of average specific resistance according to filtration pressure, suspension concentration and filters for study phenomena occurring in cake filtration. As the results of this study, the following conclusions were obtained. It was estimated that the average specific resistance of filtration Was decreased in proportion to decreased of filtration pressure. But in very pressure, average specific resistance was increased. The average specific resistance value on filter medium by various pressure was showed as same trends under constant suspension concentration. This phenomenon was though that a carrain amount of fine particles in the cake was found to migrate throught the cake in the case of very thin at very low pressure. In relation to the change of suspension concentration, average specific resistance value become low according to decreased in supension concentration.

The goals of the paper are to understand the impact damage behavior and identify the effect of surface protective materials on impact resistance in filament wound composite pressure vessels. For these, a series of low velocity impact tests was performed on specimens cutting from the full scale pressure vessel by the instrumented impact testing machine. The specimens are classified into two types, which are with and without surface protective material. The visualization for impact damage by two different impactors is made by metallurgical microscope. Based on the impact force history and damage, the impact resistance parameters were employed,rod its validity in identifying the damage resistance of filament wound composite pressure vessel was reviewed. As the results, the impact resistance of the filament wound composites and its dependency on the surface protective material were evaluated quantitatively

Resistance spot welding using air gun has been used for joining the sheet metal in automotive manufacturing process. Although air gun has many advantages, it also has the limitation to control the pressure as a factor to improve weld quality. In this study, we apply servo gun using servo motor to resistance spot welding and find the relationship between welding pressure and welding quality. Trough the experiment to change welding pressure during the welding cycle, we can make it clear that the change of welding pressure is greatly influence on the welding quality. To get in a. using response surface methodology, drew out the optimal welding pressure profile for welding quality progresses. We made an optimal profile of welding pressure which improves welding quality using response surface methodology.

This study was carried out to investigate experimentally the effect of the ground condition and tire inflation pressure on rolling characteristics of towed wheel, including the deformation, sinkage, effective rolling radius and motion resistance of tire. The experiment was performed at soil bin for the three levels of off-road conditions(ground-I, ground-II and ground-III) and a on-road condition(ground-IV), and for the four levels of tire inflation pressure which were 80 kPa, 160 kPa, 240 kPa and 320 kPa. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1. As the tire inflation pressure of towed wheel increased, the tire deformation decreased exponentially, but the tire sinkage increased exponentially. This trend was getting bigger as ground condition was getting softer. 2. The increase of tire inflation pressure increased the effective rolling radius of towed wheel, and this kind of trend occurred greatly as ground condition was soft. As a result, the effective rolling radius for the off-road condition was always larger than that for on-road condition. 3. For the on-road condition, as the tire inflation pressure of towed wheel increased, the motion resistance decreased, but for the off-road condition, augmentation of tire inflation pressure increased the motion resistance. Also, the effect of inflation pressure on motion resistance appeared great as ground condition was soft. Therefore, in order to improve the tire performance by the control of inflation pressure, it is desirable to reduce the tire inflation pressure for off-road condition and to increase the tire inflation pressure for on-road condition.

This paper has a purpose to find out the characteristics of pressure distribution according to the POD shape installed in the Hydrofoil vessel, using the CFD. The results showed that as we cut the POD cross-section's basic shape along the x-axis from 0 to 8cm, the viscous resistance had decreased, but then the pressure resistance had increased modestly. However, the cutoff length of POD cross-section shape has close to 9cm, the viscous drag had increased and the pressure drag had decreased. As a result, we found out that the pressure resistance made more effects in POD shape than the viscous resistance, and the total resistance decreased near the 9cm of cutoff length.
