In order to investigate flow characteristics of chicken blood in a micro tube of 100$\mu$m in diameter, in-vitro experiments were carried out using a micro-PIV technique. The micro-PIV system consists of a microscope, 2-head Nd:YAG laser, 12 bit cooled CCD camera and a delay generator. Chicken blood with 40% hematocrit was supplied into a micro tube using a syringe pump. The blood flow shows clearly the cell free layer near the tube wall and its thickness is increased with increasing the flow speed. The hemorheological characteristics of chicken blood, including shear rate and shear stress were estimated from the PIV velocity field data obtained. Since the aggregation index of chicken blood is less than 50% of human blood, non-Newtonian flow characteristics of chicken blood are smaller than those of human blood. As the flow rate increases, the degree of flatness in the velocity profile at the center region is decreased and the parabola-shaped shear stress distribution becomes to have a linear profile. Under the same flow rate, chicken blood shows higher shear stress, compared with human blood.

탄소나노튜브(CNT)는 우수한 전기적, 화학적, 기계적 특성으로 인해 전자기술 분야에 있어서 많은 응용이 가능한 나노소재로 각광을 받고 있으며, 실질적으로 CNT를 이용하여 트렌지스터, 전계방출원, 이차 전지 등으로의 응용연구가 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 CNT 합성을 위해 전이금속의 촉매가 필요하며 또한 촉매가 나노입자로 형성이 되어야 CNT 합성이 가능하다. 기존에는 CNT 합성기판으로 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 완충층(buffer layer)과 촉매층을 증착하여 사용하였다. 완충층은 촉매가 기판의 내부로 확산하는 것을 막아주며, 촉매의 나노입자 형성을 원활히 함으로 고효율 합성과 구조제어를 가능하게 한다. 그러나 사용되는 완충층은 알루미나 또는 실리콘 산화막과 같은 절연막이기 때문에 CNT 고유의 우수한 전기전도도를 그대로 이용할 수 없다는 문제가 있다. 그러므로 보다 폭넓은 응용을 위해서는, 완충층의 사용없이 전기전도도가 좋은 금속기판에서 CNT를 직접 합성시키는 것이 중요하며, 이때 적절한 크기의 촉매 나노입자를 형성시키기 위한 각종 표면처리법 등이 현재까지 연구되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Inconel 600 합금을 합성기판으로 하여 CNT의 고효율 합성에 대하여 연구하였다. 촉매의 나노입자 형성을 위하여 고온 산화처리 및 플라즈마 이온조사처리 등을 실시하였으며, CNT의 고효율 합성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 결과로서, 두 종류의 전처리를 혼합하여 처리한 Inconel 600 기판에서 높은 밀도의 미세한 나노입자가 형성되었고, CNT의 고효율 합성까지 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 Inconel 600 고유의 표면산화특성 및 플라즈마 이온조사에 따른 표면구조 변화가 그 원인으로 사료된다. 발표에서는 고효율 합성결과 및 합성기전에 대하여 보다 자세히 토의하고자 한다.

There is a growing range of applications for concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) member because of its superior performance. But a CFT member may be uneconomical or has weight problems because it is fully filled with concrete. In this study, a new type of member, called internally confined hollow (ICH) CFT member, was developed to solve the high cost and weight problems of the CFT member. To determine stress-strain model of the concrete in an ICH CFT column, possible failure modes of an ICH CFT column were suggested and confining pressure was derived from equilibriums for each failure mode. From the derived equations, a computer program was coded and parametric studies were performed for some examples. Analytical results showed that internally confined concrete has enhanced strength and ductility compared with those of unconfined or biaxially confined concrete.

An experimental study on convection heat transfer characteristics from a heated tube to an oscillating flow has been carried out, . This problem is of particular interest in the design of heat exchangers in Stirling cycle machines. Experimental system has been developed to measure temporal variations of temperature inside a heater tube during oscillating modes in a Stirling cycle machine. The dependence of temperature distributions and heat transfer rates on the oscillating frequency as well as the swept volume ratio and the mean pressure of a Stirling cycle machine is investigated in detail. The experimental results indicate that the measured temporal variations of temperature become nearly sinusoidal. The amplitude of temperature variation in the core of the tube is much more substantial than that near the tube wall, whereas the reverse is true for pulsating flows. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is increased significantly as the oscillating frequency or oscillating amplitude or the mean pressure in a tube is increased.

The geotextile tube shall be sewen with geotextile longitudinally in the shape of hose and it shall be filled hydraulically through filling ports at the proper intervals to construct structure. Geotextile container shall be sewen after spreading of geotextile on the split barge and sealed shut after the filling soil, and then moved and positioned at the required position. And the geotextile container passes through the bottom of barge by opening split barge and drops to the seabed to form structure. This structure for the ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ project, UAE and we would propose that geotextile containment for core material of power plant breakwater to be constructed for lower bunds with containers up to -4.0m and do upper parts with the structures of tube up to 0.0m. For the application of proposed geotextile containment, review on stability of breakwaters and design consideration were adopted. The evaluation on stability of geotextile containment was classified by 3 items, internal design consideration for material selection, reviews on stability for individual and global structure. In this research, the geothermal analysis was performed to estimate the geothermal behavior of central breakwater. Central breakwater is located boundary of intake and outfall channel, it is mean that the central breakwater is thermal boundary of intake low temperature sea water and outfall high temperature sea water. Therefore, it is required to be designed a low permeability to ensure no mix of intake and outfall waters.

In this paper, sound absorption of micro-perforated elastic plates installed in an impedance tube of a circular cross-section is discussed using an analytic method. Vibration of the plates and sound pressure fields inside the duct are expressed in terms of an infinite series of modal functions, where modal functions in the radial direction is given in terms of the Bessel functions. Under the plane wave assumption, a low frequency approximation is derived by including the first few plate modes, and the sound absorption coefficient is given in terms of an equivalent impedance of a single surface. The sound absorption coefficient using the proposed formula is in excellent agreement with the result by the FEM (Finite Element Method), and shows dips and peaks at the natural frequencies of the plate. When the perforation ratio is very small, the sound absorption coefficient is dominated by the vibration effect. However, when the perforation ratio reaches a certain value, the sound absorption is mainly governed by the rigid MPP (Micro-Perforated Plate), while the vibration effect becomes very small.

The void PC slab has a structurally reasonable cross-section by forming the hollow section of the neutral axis that is unnecessary for bending behavior. Domestic PC factories have introduced automation equipment to produce hollow PC slabs, and are achieving hollow sections through inserts. However, since the excessive initial investment cost of the PC factory is the main factor in the increase in production cost, other alternatives are needed. Therefore, in this study, when producing hollow PC slab members, by using a rubber tube as a formwork to form an internal hollow space, it is intended to contribute to securing productivity through molding various hollow shapes, making it larger, lightweight, and enabling rapid production. To implement a hollow PC slab using a rubber tube mold, the shape of a hollow cross-section in which the tube is combined was implemented by considering the shape of the rubber tube first. In addition, to secure the concrete quality of the hollow part, the finish properties of the rubber tube mold and concrete were evaluated, and the hollow PC production process was established.

An analytical model was developed to estimate the viscous and squeeze-film damping ratios of heat exchanger tubes subjected to a two-phase cross-flow. Damping information is required to analyze the flow-induced vibration problem for heat exchange tubes. In heat exchange tubes, the most important energy dissipation mechanisms are related to the dynamic interaction between structures such as the tube and support and the liquid. The present model was formulated considering the added mass coefficient, based on an approximate model by Sim (1997). An approximate analytical method was developed to estimate the hydrodynamic forces acting on an oscillating inner cylinder with a concentric annulus. The forces, including the damping force, were calculated using two models developed for relatively high and low oscillatory Reynolds numbers, respectively. The equivalent diameters for the tube bundles and tube support, and the penetration depth, are important parameters to calculate the viscous damping force acting on tube bundles and the squeeze-film damping forces on the tube support, respectively. To calculate the void fraction of a two-phase flow, a homogeneous model was used. To verify the present model, the analytical results were compared to the results given by existing theories. It was found that the present model was applicable to estimate the viscous damping ratio and squeeze-film damping ratio.

$CO_2$ enrichment systems have been recently used to shorten the growth period of plants and the improvement of harvest and its quality. To accomplish these goals, manifold should be designed to supply the same amount of $CO_2$. In this study, CFD approach has been used to understand the effects of geometric parameters, such as tube and hole diameters. An optimized geometry has been derived through pipe and tube part, respectively. As a result, the deviation of flow rate less than 0.1 g/s was expected at all holes of the $CO_2$ enrichment system.

Ultrasonic inspection methods are widely used for detecting flaws in materials. The signal analysis step plays a crucial part in the data interpretation process. A number of signal processing methods have been proposed to classify ultrasonic flaw signals. One of the more popular methods involves the extraction of an appropriate set of features followed by the use of a neural network for the classification of the signals in the feature space. This paper describes an alternative approach which uses the least mean square (LMS) method and expectation maximization (EM) algorithm with the model based deconvolution which is employed for classifying nondestructive evaluation (NDE) signals from steam generator tubes in a nuclear power plant. The signals due to cracks and deposits are not significantly different. These signals must be discriminated to prevent from happening a huge disaster such as contamination of water or explosion. A model based deconvolution has been described to facilitate comparison of classification results. The method uses the space alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) algorithm In conjunction with the Newton-Raphson method which uses the Hessian parameter resulting in fast convergence to estimate the time of flight and the distance between the tube wall and the ultrasonic sensor Results using these schemes for the classification of ultrasonic signals from cracks and deposits within steam generator tubes are presented and showed a reasonable performances.
