Flame spreading over liquid fuel surface has been investigated using thermocouple and schlieren photograph. Without forced convection, it was clearly found that the flame spreading is mainly controlled by surface flow which is maybe generated by change of surface tension. Furthermore, the radiative heat transfer is dominant over a conductive heat transfer in kerosene. But the latter was found more influential than the former in diesel. Oscillation of flame spreading was found. It maybe cause of surface flow.

The cavity formed by the ultrasonic generation in the fluid with the application of water cavitation peening collides into the metal surface. At this time, the surface modification effect such as the work hardening presents by the compressive residual stress formed due to the localized plastic deformation. In this investigation, the water cavitation peening technology in the distilled water with the lapse of time was applied to 5052-O aluminum alloy for aluminum ship of a high value. So, the optimum water cavitation peening time on the effect for surface hardening and anti-corrosion property was investigated. Consequently, the water cavitatin peening time on excellent hardness and corrosion resistance characteristic presented 3.5 min. and 5.0 min, respectively. The surface hardness in the optimum water cavitation peening time was improved approximately 45% compared to the non-WCPed condition. In addition, corrosion current density was decreased.

This paper deals with an on-the-machine measurement method for roughness of ground surface by using flux ratio of scattered lights. A sensor and control unit is developed so as to e applied to surface grinding processes. The performance of the sensor is compared with that of stylus. The experimental investigation shows that not onlythe sensor has good performance as a surface roughness sensor but alsothe sensor is very useful for monitoring grinding condition in order to detect ill-conditioned grinding or dressing time.

Recently, Growing tendency for structure surface to use water repellent agent has increased steadily. But investigation of it's protection and durability property is not sufficient. Therefore, this paper shows the investigation about repellent property and micro structure's change in surface layer of mortar that is applied by water repellent agent. Water repellent property, absorption coefficient, air permeability, porosity and observation of micro construct was investigated according to water repellent agent type. The test results indicated that mortar applied water repellent agent appears tiny absorption coefficient, but air permeability is maintained. The reason is because silane solution is coating at capillary surface of a wall and minute pore structure is changeless.

When the exposed surface of rock slopes investigated, various factors have not been considered. The factors required to be considered include the vlume swelling of rock caused by stress release at the fault zone, unexposed discontinuities in the earth and so on. Also, rock slope failure occurs sometimes due to these factors. In this paper, we intend to help engineers to judge about the stability of similar new cutting-slopes or the maintenance of already cut-slope, so that they can consider these factors.

Experimental investigation of drag reduction by adding a polymer additive(polyacrylamid, N-401P) into water is carried out in a Circular Water Channel. The effect of viscosity, surface roughness and degradation as a function of running time is also measured with varying the concentration of polymer additives(20ppm,100ppm) and Reynolds numbers. Near and far wakes past a circular cylinder are observed by LDV. Drag forces are measured with a strain-gaged device. The experimental results show that around 5%-30% of drag reduction with the polymer solution are observed. The larger effects of drag reduction can be found at low range of Reynolds number, more roughened surface cylinder. The effect of polymer solution for near wakes is larger than for far wakes.

In this paper, experimental investigation has been performed to analyze the forming process of toothed or serrated sheets, which is used as strap engaging surface of the seal to secure together overlapping portions of steel or plastic strapping ligature. Serration formed on the strap engaging surface of the seal prevent from relative slipping between overlapping ligatures after closing the seal. The geometry of tooth on the strap engaging surface is directly related to the quality of securing overlapping ligatures together. Inclined indentation followed by scratching operation has been proposed and applied to the experiments. Punch entry and face angles are selected as process variables to see the influence of these variables on the tooth geometry. Five different punch entry angles have been applied to experiments and three different punch face angles have been selected for each case of punch entry angle. Clay is selected as model material for experiments. Experimental results are summarized in terms of tooth height, tooth width, and aspect ratio such as tooth height to width ratio, respectively.

The paper describes the results of an experimental investigation of the heat transfer rate on the endwall surface within the plane turbine cascade passage and includes the effect of the heat transfer for the two different boundary layer thicknesses and Reynolds numbers. The limiting streamlines on the endwall surface have been visualized by the oil film method in order to compare with the endwall heat transfer. The hue-capturing method using the termochromatic liquid crystals with great spatial resolution has been used to provide the local distribution of the endwall heat transfer coefficients. Because the detailed contours of the local heat transfer coefficients over the entire endwall can be obtained from the hue-capturing method, it has been possible to obtain information on the endwall heat transfer within the plane turbine cascade passage from these heat transfer contours.

3D Welding and Milling is a solid freeform fabrication process which is based on the combination of welding as additive and conventional milling as subtractive technique. This hybrid approach enables direct building of metallic parts with high accuracy and surface finish. Although it needs further improvements it shows an application potential in rapid tooling of injection mold inserts as the investigation results show. To optimize the process for higher surface quality and accuracy effectively Taguchi method is applied to the experimental investigation. in this way relationships between process parameters and final product qualities such as tensile strength and surface hardness are found with minimal efforts.

This paper presents an investigation of the ability of the scheme to simultaneously accomplish both prediction of fracture initiation and analysis of deformation in cold forged products. The Cockcroft-Latham criterion which is successfully applied to a variety of loading situations is used in the present investigation to estimate if and where surface and internal fracture occur during the deformation process. The numerical predictions and experimental results of two types of fundamental cold metal forming process taken into account are compared. Finite element simulation combined with fracture criterion has successfully predicted the site of surface or internal fracture initiation and corresponding to level of deformation observed experimentally.
