The present study investigates flow characteristics in a cavity with one rotating disk and co-rotating disks for application to HDD. The experiments are conducted for rotating Reynolds numbers of $5.5{\times}104$ to $1.10{\times}105$ and for gap ratios of 0.059 to 0.175 in a single rotating and 0.047 to 0.094 in co-rotating disk. Time-resolved velocity components and turbulence intensity on the rotating disks are obtained by using LDA measurements. Detailed Knowledge of the flow characteristics is essential to analyze flow vibration and heat transfer and to design head-arm assembly and hub height in HDD. The results indicate that the velocity field in HDD is changed largely by the rotating Reynolds numbers and hub height of the disk.

Slime sampless from 10 ratating biological contactor (RBC) plants in New Jersey were microscopically examined. Filamentous bacteria such as Type 1701, Type 0041, Type 021N, Nocardia, Beggiatoa, and Sphaerotilus, which are commonly present as suspended forms also were found in RBC slimes growing as attached forms. However, the abundance wwas much different from that of activated sludge. In RBC slimes, Beggiatoa was most frequently observed filamentous bacteria and Sphaerotilus, Type 0041, Type 1701, Type 021N and Nocardia were present in decreasing order of abundance. There were morphologically two different types of Behhiatia in RBC slimes. The statistical anaysis shows that filamentous bacterial poulations between the 100 cm inside and the outside the RBC were different in most cases with significant interactions between the location and stage.

오늘날 산업현장에서 사용되는 대부분의 기계와 가전 제품에는 회전기계가 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있고, 이러한 회전 요소에서 종종 진동이 발생하여 문제가 되고 있다. 이러한 진동이 발생시키는 원인 중에서도 회전체의 불평형(unbalance)이 대부분이다. 이러한 불평형 중에도 매 운전 사이클마다 불평형의 크기나 위치가 바뀌는 경우에는 평형잡이 기계로는 불평형을 수정할 수 없다. 이를 자동적으로 수정하는 장치로써 Thearle가 볼(steel ball)을 이용한 자동평형장치를 제안하였고, 정상는 2개의 볼을 내장한 1개 또는 2개의 원판을 설치하여 계의 기본적인 진동특성을 조사하였다. 그리고 볼과 저점성유체를 내장한 단일원판의 자려진동에 대한 안정성을 조사한 연구결과도 있다. 본 연구에서는 위의 이론들을 기초로 하여 1) 2개의 원판을 모델한 기본적인 진동거동, 2) 자동 평형장치로서 이용가능한 운전영역과 자려진동의 발생 영역 및 조건, 3) 계의 파라메터, 즉 각가속도, 원판내의 유체의 점성계수 및 볼의 갯수의 변화에 대한 자동평형장치의 성능 등을 실험적으로 조사하였다.

In this study is performed to investigate the pumping characteristics of three-stage disk-type molecular drag pump (DTDP). The experiments are measured using five vacuum pressure gauges in the positions for rotors of DTDP. The experimented DTDP is consisted of three rotors and four stator. In the DTDP, spiral channels of three rotors are cut on the both upper surface and lower surface of a rotating disk, and corresponding stator is a planar disk. The experiments are performed in the outlet pressure range of $0.2{\sim}533\;Pa$. The pressure of each rotors are measured under the various condition of outlet pressure and throughputs, and nitrogen gas is used for test gas. In the numerical study, the pumping characteristics of each rotor are studied for the variation of throughputs in the all rotating channel. Pressure contour and velocity are obtained by the numerical simulation.

Experimental investigations are performed for the rarefied gas flows in a multi-stage disk-type drag pump. The pump considered in the present study consists of grooved rotors and stators. The flow-meter method is adopted to calculate the pumping speed. Compression ratios and pumping speeds for the nitrogen gas are measured under the outlet pressure range of 0.13∼533 Pa. The present experimental data show the leak-limited value of the compression ratio in the molecular transition region. The rotational speed of the pump is 24,000rpm, and nitrogen is used as a test gas. The pumping characteristics of various drag pumps are performed. The inlet pressures are measured for various outlet pressures of the test pump. The ultimate pressures for zero throughput are measured for three-stage, two-stage and single-stage disk-type, respectively.

A simple laser Doppler velocimeter(LDV) using a $CO_2$ laser with its self-mixing effect has been developed. We measured the laser power which was modulated by Doppler frequency, when monochromatic laser light was focused to a moving target. The Doppler-shifted frequency was controlled by changing rotating speed of the turntable or the cosine of the angle between the direction of the laser beam and that of the rotating velocity.

A shrouded rotating disk airflow has a simple figure on geometric basis, but has various and complicated forms of flow. This flow type can be applied to many turbo devices such as information storage device(optical disk). Circumferential velocity frequency in the middle plane between disk and shroud wall is measured using laser Doppler velocimeter. Solid body region of flow was founded when low Reynolds number relatively. Through the informations of the experimental results. we could examine the number and distribution of the vortices. When Reynolds number $3.80{\times}10^5$ there is a dominant frequency of which vortices number is 5.

The fundamental fluid mechanics associated with the rotation of a smooth plane disk enclosed within a cylindrical chamber have been studied experimentally. In order to acquire systematic information pertinent to this problem torque and friction loss data were obtained over a wide range of disk Reynolds numbers for axial clearance-disk radius ratio H/R from 0.025 to 0.2 and radial tip gap-disk radius ratio s/R from 0.021 to 0.105. Loss analysis of hard disk drive (HDD) is presented to describe the contribution of windage loss of a rotating disk. The minimum loss form factor of HDD can be obtained from this analysis at each operation conditions.

In this paper, we investigated the disc warping in high-speed slim-type optical disc drive. Recently, the information storage devices are increasing track density and higher rotation speed to enhance their recording capacity and their data transfer rate. Generally, ODD used in the Lap-top Computer has small inner space. So, the flow instability of inner space is rapidly increased as its higher rotation speed. An extreme case, the flow instability causes the malfunction of readout at pick-up of drives. The experiments and numerical analysis were carried out for several cases, the result shows the influence of airflow to the disc warping.
