Even though the sprinkler system is a essential fire suppression system, the design engineers do not fully understand the concept of design area which sprinklers operate. They frequently made a mistake to form design area and calculate it. The shape of design area is a square or a rectangle which branch side line is a little longer than the cross main side. NFPA demands to lengthen the branch side to 1.2 times than the cross main side and FM demands 1.4 times. The longer the branch side at the same design area is, the bigger the water quantity and pressure is. At the results of hydraulic calculation of design areas, when the branch side is longer 1.2 times, the water quantity became 4.6% bigger than exact square and the pressure came to 4.67% bigger. When it is longer 1.4 times, the water quantity and the pressure are bigger 7.52%, 14.51%. Therefore, the sprinkler design engineers should follow the general rule of design area, exact square or rectangle which length along the branch line is a little longer than length along the cross main, to design more stable system.

This paper considers the influence of suction-line heat exchangers on the efficiency of a refrigeration cycle using hydrocarbon refrigerants such as R290, R600a and R1270. These suction-line heat exchangers can, in some cases, yield improved system performance while in other cases they degrade system performance. A steady state mathematical model is used to analyze the performance characteristics of refrigeration cycle with suction-line heat exchanger. The influence of operating conditions, such as the mass flowrate of hydrocarbon refrigerants, inner diameter tube and length of suction-line heat exchanger, to the performance of the cycle is also analyzed in the paper. Results showed that the mass flowrate of hydrocarbon refrigerants, inner diameter tube and length of suction-line heat exchanger, and effectiveness have an effect on the cooling capacity, compressor work and RCI(Relative Capacity Index) of this system. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the compression refrigeration cycle of hydrocarbon refrigerants using suction-line heat exchanger.

In the present study, simple models were proposed to predict the capillary-driven flow length in a surfactant-added poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) rectangular microchannel. Owing to the hydrophobic nature of PDMS, it is difficult to transport water in a conventional PDMS microchannel by means of the capillary force alone. To overcome this problem, microchannels with a hydrophilic surface were fabricated using surfactant-added PDMS. By measuring the contact angle change on the surfactant-added PDMS surface, the behavior was investigated to establish a simple model. In order to predict the filling length induced by the capillary force, the Washburn equation was modified in the present study. From the investigation, it was found that the initial rate-of-change of the contact angle affected the filling length. Simple models were developed for three representative cases, and these can be useful tools in designing microfluidic manufacturing techniques including MIcroMolding In Capillaries (MIMIC).

In this study, for the flow of carbon dioxide/hydrogen mixture through a tubular type Pd-Ag membrane, hydrogen partial pressure, velocity profile, and concentration profile were simulated as a function of inlet flow rate using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. The simulation results indicated that the mole fraction of carbon dioxide increased slowly in the longitudinal direction as the flow rate increased. In addition, the effects of inlet flow rate and the length of membrane on hydrogen recovery were investigated. At lower flow rate and for longer membrane, the hydrogen recovery was larger.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of temperature ($15{\sim}40^{\circ}C$) and the spraying plant growth regulators ($GA_{4+7}+BA$ and prohexadione-calcium) during full blooming on pollen germination and pollen tube growth of the commercial apple cultivars ('Fuji' and 'Tsugaru') and apple cultivars bred in Korea ('Chukwang', 'Gamhong', 'Hongan', 'Honggeum', 'Hongro', 'Hwahong', 'Hongso', 'Summer dream' and 'Sunhong'). Pollen germination and pollen tube growth were increased with increasing temperature from 15 to $25^{\circ}C$, but high temperature over $30^{\circ}C$ inhibit those. The apple cultivar bred in Korea that shows the highest value on pollen germination and pollen tube growth at over $30^{\circ}C$ was 'Sunhong'. The spraying $GA_{4+7}+BA$ increased pollen germination and pollen tube growth than control, but that effect was not show at $40^{\circ}C$. The spraying prohexadione-calcium was not affect to pollen germination and pollen tube growth. In conclusion, if the air temperature during full bloom of apple tree rises about $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$, the spraying $GA_{4+7}+BA$ after artificial pollination will be good to increasing fruit set.

분말 입자 형태가 다른 2가지 스테인레스 강(SUS 316L)분말과 조성이 다른 2가지의 결합제를 이용하여 분말충전율의 변화를 가지도록 제조된 5가지 분말사출재에 대한 Bagley 보정 실험을 실시하여 Bagley 보정값에 대한 온도, 분말충전율, 분말 입자 형태 그리고 결 합제의 영향을 조사하였다. Bagley 보정값을 구하기 위한 자료 처리를 하는 과정에서 길이 가 긴 모세관(L/D=60) 의 압력손실이 Thixotropy에 의해서 감소한 현상을 발견하였다. 이는 모세관 점성측정기를 이용한 분말사출제의 점도 측정시 길이가 긴모세관의 사용이 바람직하 지 못하다는 것을 나타낸다. 분말사출재의 Bagley 보정값에 대한 온도와 결합제의 영향은 매우 미약하게 나타났는데 특히 결합제의 영향은 거의 나타나지 않는 것을 발견하였다. 분 말충전율과 분말 입자 형태의 Bagley 보정값에 대한 영향은 매우 크게 나타났으며 분말충 전율이 증가할수록 Bagley 보정값이 증가하고 분말 입자의 형태가 불규칙한 분말을 사용한 분말사출재의 보정값이 구형의 분말에 비해 높은 보정값을 나타냈다. 실험결과에 대한 고찰 결과, 분말사출재의 모세관 입출구에서 압력손실의 주 원인은 분말 이자간 마찰과 충돌이라 고 판단되었다.

This work investigated the influence of the chimney dimensions(exit and entrance length, and diameter) on the heat transfer of a vertical cylinder in a duct. The measured mass transfer rates for the natural convection of vertical cylinder in a duct were presented for Prandlt number 2,094, Rayleigh number in the range of $4.55{\times}10^9$, $5.79{\times}10^{10}$, and $1.69{\times}10^{11}$. Experiments were performed using a copper sulfate electroplating system to simulate heat transfer based upon the analogy concept. The diameter of the duct was varied from 0.06 m to 0.14 m, and the heights from 0.30 m to 1.10 m. Nusselt numbers measured at open channel condition agreed well with the existing laminar heat transfer correlations for vertical plate developed by Le Fevre. The increase of the exit length enhanced the heat transfer up to a certain duct height but further increase does not affects the heat transfer. The heat transfer decreased with increasing the entrance length up to a certain duct height and was constant at further increase. The Nusselt number decreased with increasing the diameter of duct, until Nusselt number becomes similar to that at open channel beyond a certain diameter.

To model the compression system with more integrity, the pipeline dynamic model was applied to the compression system model. To combine the pipeline dynamic model and the compression system model, appropriate boundary conditions were selected on each end of connecting pipe with compressor, plenum and throttle valve. Simulation result illustrate the effect of pipeline dynamic model on the stability of compression system.

Exhausting fossil fuel and increasing concern of air pollution have brought on the change of the focus of developing new vehicles from performance to fuel economy and emission. The gasoline engines adopting the naturally aspirated way use the throttle-body for engine load control. Therefore, its pumping loss increases more than that of the diesel engine, and also mostly operating in a partial load condition has bad influence on fuel economy and emission. In these days, the continuous variable valve timing system and variable induction system are adopted in order to improve fuel consumption and emission. In this study, we optimize the runner length and operate region of variable induction system to simulataneously improve the performance, fuel economy, and emission of gasoline engine with employing GT-Power as a CAE tool for engine analysis and PIAnO as PIDO tool for process integration and design optimization.
