In this paper, we have described the microchannel fluid behavior in a slot between rotating curvilinear surfaces of revolution using micropolar fluid theory. ]n order to solve this problem, we have used boundary layer equations and applied non-zero values of the microrotation vector on the wall. The results are compared with the corresponding flow problems for Newtonian fluid. Results show that both the velocity distribution and the microrotation component distribution for a micropolar fluid are lower than that of a Newtonian fluid.

Mean velocity and Reynolds stress components of the developing turbulent flows in a rotating 90 degree bend with square cross-section were measured by a hot-wire anemometer. Effects of the centrifugal and Coriolis forces generated by the curvature and rotation of bend on the mean motion and turbulence structures are investigated experimentally. Results show that the Coriolis force associated with the rotation of the bend may act both through the mean motion and turbulent structures, thereby changing the pressure fields, mean and turbulent velocities distributions.

An analysis of heat and mass transfer has been carried out for multi-wafer Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD). Surface radiation analysis considering specular radiation among wafers, heaters, quartz tube and side plates of the reactor has been done to determine temperature distributions of 150 wafers in two dimensions. Velocity, temperature and concentration fields of chemical gases flowing in a reactor with multi-wafers have been then determined, which determines Si deposition growth rate and uniformity on wafers using two different surface reaction models. The calculation results of temperatures and Si deposition have been compared and found to be in a reasonable agreement with the previous experiments.

We propose an analytical model to estimate the influence of a merger on the thermal SZ effect. Following observations we distinguish between subsonic and transonic mergers. Using analytical velocity fields and the Bernoulli equation we calculate the excess pressure around a moving subcluster for an incompressible subsonic gas. Positive excess around the stagnation point and negative excess on the side of the subcluster lead to characteristic signatures in the SZ map, of the order of $10\%$ compared to the unperturbed signal. For a transonic merger we calculate the change in the thermal spectral SZ function, resulting from bow shock accelerated electrons. The merger shock compression factor determines the power law tail of the new non-thermal electron population and is directly related to a shift in the crossover frequency. This shift is typically a few percent towards higher frequencies.

An LQ controller design method is proposed for effective anti-sway control of boom type crane in this paper. It is important for high productivity that the sway of a load is controlled as fast as possible when the trolley arrives to the destination with maximum velocity. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed LQ controller. simulations and experiments using the boom type crane as experimental device is carried out. Tracking performance for a step type reference and robustness for the change of working environment such as the change of load weight and parameters produced by a wire rope and disturbance by the wind arc proved by the experiment. It will be examined that boom type crane can be applied to industrial fields through experiment in this paper.

A 3-D.O.F. spherical PM motor has 3 degrees of freedom in its motion by tilting and rotating of a shaft, which can be applied in a range of fields. The back-EMF is proportional to the field flux and angular velocity. The back-EMF constant in conventional rotating machine has a uniform value. However, in a spherical PM motor, the back-EMF constant of the coils varies according to the tilting conditions regardless of whether the angular speed is constant. Consideration of the back-EMF constant is useful for designing 3-D.O.F. spherical PM motors. In this study, the back-EMF constant of the spherical PM motor was considered carefully.

Spiral tube heat exchangers can find numerous applications in many engineering fields. Flow in spiral tubes is interest to engineers due to occurrence of secondary flow which enhances the cross-sectional mixing and the heat transfer rate. In the present study, an incompressible viscous 3-D flow in spiral tubes with rectangular cross-section of various torsion rate and Reynolds number is studied by using a finite volume method. It is shown that the axial velocity profile is affected by the secondary flow motion. Because there is some difference from correlation proposed by Hur et al., a lot of analysis and arrangement of experimental results are needed. This study showed the results of variation of hydrodynamic entry length for torsion and Re numbers.

A Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) is applied to determine three-dimensional fiber orientation states in injection-molded short fiber composites. Since the CLSM optically sections the composites, more than two planes either on or below the surface of composites can be obtained. Therefore, three dimensional fiber orientation states are determined without destruction. To predict the orientation states, velocity and temperature fields are calculated by using a hybrid FEM/FDM method. The change of orientation state during packing stage is also considered by employing a compressible Hele-Shaw model. The predicted orientation states show good agreement with measured ones. However, some differences are found at the end of cavity. They may result from other effects, which are not considered in the numerical analysis.

In this paper, we propose an efficient technique for improving the grid based fluid simulation by sub-grid visuals. The detailed turbulency generated efficiently by Vortex Particle Method are blended with the flow fields coming from the traditional incompressible Navier-Stokes solver. The algorithm enables large- and small- scale detail to be edited separately.

A theoretical analysis is performed to describe the qualitative behavior of transient buoyant flows in a vertical channel. Consideration is given to the case of a fluid with a pre-existing stratification. The fluid motion is generated by giving impulsive anti-symmetric step-changes in temperature at the vertical left ad right sidewalls. The qualitative character of the flow is shown to be classified in the Rayleigh number (Ra)-Prandtl number ($sigma$) diagram. The transitory approach to the steady state can be monotonic or oscillatory, depending on ($sigma$-1)$^2$$pi$$^4$ 4$sigma$$R_a$. The prominent characteristics of time-dependent flow are discussed for large $R_a$. The profiles of temperature and velocity in the transient phase are depicted, which disclose distinctive time scales of motion. The transient process is shown to be sensitive to the Prandtl number. The detailed evolutions of flow and temperature fields are illustrated for large $R_a$.
