Saltation occurs in horizontal flow of solid and gas when the carrier gas velocity is small enough to permit enough to settling of the solid particles within the transport line. So we should examine the pneumatic flow system to lessen the unbured carbon in the power plant. In this paper the saltation velocity was studied on the various solid flow rate in the constant pipe diameter and on the various temperatures of the flow gas. The air velocity in the power plant transport lines was also surveyed in order to compare with the saltation velocity. As the solid flow rate increased in the constant diameter, saltation velocity increased and as the temperater of the flow gas inereased in the transport line, saltation velocity also increased.

Saltation is the most important mechanism of wind-blown sand transport. Till now the interaction between wind and sand has not been fully understood. In this study the saltation of sand sample taken from Taklimakan desert was tested in a simulated atmospheric boundary layer. The captured particle images containing both the tracers for wind and saltating sand, were separated by a digital phase mask technique. Both PIV and PTV methods were employed to extract the velocity fields of wind and the dispersed sand particles, respectively. The mean streamwise wind velocity field and turbulent statistics with and without sand transportation were compared, revealing the effect of the moving sand on the wind field. This study is helpful to understand the interaction between wind and blown sand (in saltation), and provide reliable experimental data fur evaluating numerical models.

In this paper, a vibrotactile pad system, T-mobile, is developed to provide vibrotactile cues for hand-held devices. A grooved and slim design is adapted to the back-side plane of the T-mobile, and the contact part consists of 12 vibrotactile panels which can operate independently and separately. To be isolated among vibrotactile actuators, the surface of the cover is divided into several pieces. Each vibrating module consists of a linear resonant actuator, a section of covering surface, and a vibration isolator. In order to provide spatial and directional information, sensory saltation and phantom sensation are applied to the T-mobile. To evaluate the developed device, two experiments were conducted to test whether directional information and spatial information can be successfully displayed by the device. Additionally, in order to find optimal stimulation by sensory saltation, an empirical test was conducted. As a result, spatial and directional information would be useful for displaying intuitive information for hand-held devices with vibrotactile feedback and reasonable near-optimal value for sensory saltation was obtained.

Granule application with a boom has merits of accurate application and high field efficiency. In order to develop a boom granule applicator, aerodynamic properties of agrichemicals should be investigated. This study was accomplished to investigate aerodynamic properties of granules and factors affecting on them. The tested agrichemicals were urea, compound fertilizer (17-21-17), sand and zeolite. Basic physical properties of granules such as true density, sphericity, and arithmetic mean diameter for those materials were analyzed. Regression equations for pickup velocity (v$_{p}$) and saltation velocity (v$_{s}$) were proposed by the data transformation and the multi-regression analysis as follows : (equation omitted) where, 0< s < 1, 0< λ$_{i}$< 3, 35 < D/d$_{p}$ < 350, 1000 $_{p}$/p$_{a}$ < 2500 The range of pickup velocity of fertilizers and other agrichemicals were shown to be 10-16m/s and 9-13m/s, respectively. The saltation velocity of fertilizer and other agrichemicals were 3 m/s and 4 m/s, respectively.y.ively.y.y.

A significant amount of labor hour is being spent for clean up spent abrasives after blasting. So, for improving the efficiency of abrasive(grit) recovery process which acts as the neck of a battle in preceding coating stage, it was established the theoretical background for pneumatic transport technology in the abrasive recovery system as well as experimentally evaluated the effect of design parameters such as flow pattern, saltation velocity and pressure drop on the efficiency of the abrasive recovery system. And, by optimizing the operating parameter such as the length and diameter of suction hose, specification of recovery device, recovery mouth and hose connection method, a method which can dramatical1y increase the efficiency of abrasive recovery system, is derived.

This report deals with the sedimentological study of the littoral sand of beaches in the Busan area. The purpose of this report is to know the grain size, mineralogical composition, heavy mineral and clay mineral of the beach sands, and gravity measurements of the Nagdong River Deltas. 1) As a whole, the littoral sand of the beaches are composed of uniformly medium grained, moderately sorted and nearly symmetrical. The barrier sand of the Nagdong Estuary is composed of fine grained, well sorted and nearly symmetrical. 2) The littoral sand of the beaches is transported by saltation and rolling. The barrier sand of the Nagdong Estuary is transported by suspension and saltation. 3) In the littoral sand of the beaches, the ratio of feldspar to quartz is 1 :2.31 and in the barrier sand of the Nagdong Estuary 1:1.40. 4) The content of heavy mineral of samples ranges from 0.54 to 3.87 %. The principal heavy minerals are hornblende, pyroxene, epidote, garnet, leucoxene, zircon, apatite, magnetite, hematite and ilmenite with minor accessories of rutile and olivine. 5) The x-ray diffraction analysis of the clay mineral informs the existence of quartz, feldspar, kaolinite and montmorillonite. The montmorillonite is considered to have been derived from the alteration of acidic volcanic rocks. 6) To determine the depositional structure of the Nagdong Estuary, Gravity measurements were made. Free air anomaly ranges from 14.5 mgal to 33.5 mgal and Bouguer anomaly ranges from 14.3 to 23.5 mgal and both are closely related to the topography. According to the interpreted layer structure, the upper layer composing sand, silt and clay, the intermediate layer composing sand with gravel, the lower layer composing weathered and soft rock, and bed rock composing hornfels or andesite. 7) The depositional environments of the study, the littoral area is dominated by the marine environment and the Nagdong Estuary by the mixed environment.

From the analyses of 16 bottom sediment samples and current data obtained during field expert ments from August to September 1987, the textural characteristics and transport mode of sand grains of a tidal sand ridge in Gyeonggi Bay are studied. The textural characteristic of the bottom sediments are diverse depending on their location on the tidal sand ridge. Sands on the crest are well sorted. near symmetric in skewness. leptokurtic in kurtosis. and are unimodal in peakedness. On the other hand, Poorly sorted gravelly sands in the trough are coarse skewed in skewness and plartkurtic in kurtosis. The mean values of U/SUB 100/ (velocity at one meter above bottom) and U/SUP */ (boundary shear velocity) are calculated to be 41.4 cm/sec and 2.39 cm/sec, respectively. From the analyses of characteristics of the sediments and currents in the study area, it can be concluded that almost all the sands of the tidal sand ridge (esp. on the crest) are transported as bedload (mainly as saltation).
