The influence of unsteady wake on the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a four-vane linear cascade was experimentally investigated. The unsteady wake was generated with four rotating rectangular plates located upstream of the cascade. Tested inlet Reynolds number based on chord length was set to 66,000 by controlling free-stream velocity. A hot-wire anemometer system was employed to measure turbulent velocity components. For the convective heat transfer coefficients measurement on turbine blade surface, thermochromic liquid crystal and gold film Intrex were used. It was found that the unsteady wake enhances the turbulent motion in the cascade passage and accordingly promotes the development and transition of boundary layer. It was found that the heat transfer coefficients on the blade surface increase as the plate rotating speed increases. However, the increasing of heat transfer coefficients is not significant in the case that Strouhal number is higher than 0.503.

A numerical study on two-dimensional unsteady transonic cascade flow has been performed by adopting dual time stepping and the k-.omega. turbulence model. An explicit 4 stage Runge-Kutta scheme for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and an implicit Gauss-Seidel iteration scheme for the k-.omega. turbulence model are proposed for fictitious time stepping. This mixed time stepping scheme ensures the stability of numerical computation and exhibits a good convergence property with less computation time. Typical steady-state convergence accelerating schemes such as local time stepping, residual smoothing and multigrid combined with dual time stepping shows good convergence properties. Numerical results are presented for unsteady laminar flow past a cylinder and turbulent shock buffeting problem for bicircular arc cascade flow is discussed.

Inhibitory activities of 58 methanol extracts, which were prepared from different parts of 55 kinds of edible and medicinal plants, against human thrombin were evaluated. Analysis of the anti-coagulation activity determined by thrombin time enabled us to select 8 herb extracts as possible sources of anti-thrombosis agent. Further analysis of anti-thrombosis activity determined by activated partial thromboplastin time and fibrinolytic activity, and heat stability and inhibition against other proteolytic digestive enzymes provided new information that Pimpinella brachycarpa, Lysimachia clethroides, and Salix gracilistyla could be used as a potential anti-thrombosis agent. Our results suggest that edible and medicinal plants could be the potential source of thrombin inhibitor.

Effects of rotor-stator blade count ratio on the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of a cascade was studied by using a Navier-Stokes code. Present Navier-Stokes code is a parallel code and works on a multi-cpu machine. It is based on the SIMPLE algorithm and uses QUICK scheme for convection terms and second order back difference for all temporal derivatives. Computations were carried out for two cases : case 1 is for 3 stator cascade passages subjected to two upstream wakes while case 2 is for 2 stator cascade passages subjected to three upstream wakes. Numerical solutions show that rotor-stator blade count ratio plays a significant role in the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the stator cascade. Case 2 shows smaller unsteady fluctuation than case 1, even if they show the same time averaged value. The smaller fluctuation of case 2 is believed due to strong interaction between unsteady vortices. The unsteady lift variation of case 2 is shown to have many high frequency fluctuations as more unsteady vortices travel around the cascade. The unsteady turbulent kinetic energy due to the upstream wake is also shown to decay faster through the cascade passage than in the free stream.

We have simulated the performance of a simple engine model with a gas turbine engine simulation program based on CFD. 2-dimensional Navier-Stokes code for the viscous flow was applied to simulate a compressor and a turbine, and the chemical equilibrium code with the lumped method was applied to simulate the combustor. Unsteady-flow phenomenon between rotor and stator of the compressor and the turbine was analyzed by steady mixing-plane method. In this way, the influence of the turbine blade pitch on the engine was investigated. It was shown that the compressor is operated at more higher pressure conditions as narrower the pitch distance of the turbine.

An experimental study Is conducted in a four-vane linear cascade in order to examine the influence of the wake behind rectangular bars on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. Flow and heat transfer measurements are made for the inlet Reynolds number of 66000(based on chord length and free-stream velocity). Turbulent intensity and stress are measured using a hot-wire anemometer, and to measure the convective heat transfer coefficients on the blade surface liquid crystal/gold film Intrex technique is used. Each of experimental cases is characterized by the unsteadiness measured at the entrance of the cascade. The wake behind the rectangular bars enhances the turbulent motion of the flow in the cascade passage. It also promotes the boundary layer development and transition. The results show that heat transfer coefficients on the blade surface increase with increasing unsteadiness.

The purpose of this study was to study the student cognition toward the subject of physical education and toward the method of teaching in the class. For the statistical measurement, the population has been chosen as the fifth and sixth grade 319 students(160 male; 159 female) from four different elementary schools in Seoul, Korea. In terms of the teaching method and management of students, the results show that they agree with controlled participation in class and appreciate teachers ability such as explanation, skill demonstration, knowledge, evaluation, maintaining order and participating class. However, there were no statistical difference male and female except for teacher's explanation. This study clearly indicates that the students want more affirmative and cooperative class environment and they expect to be evaluated not only by skill itself, but also by class participation and activity in their physical education class. The cognition and preference toward the class between male and female students did not show any difference in this study. After all, Teachers need to have more understanding, more compassion and more sensitivity towards their elementary students for interesting, effective and affirmative class.

In this paper, numerical analysis of the surface gas temperature on turbine blades has been performed to investigate the temperature profiles characteristics of a partial admission supersonic turbine driven by high temperature and pressure gas of pyro-starter with two different types of turbine blade edge shape. In order to examine the surface gas temperature on turbine blades at initial starting, computations tlave been carried out at several turbine rotational speeds in the range of $0{\sim}10,000$ rpm for each type of turbine edge shape. "Sharp" edge and "Round" edge types were taken as the turbine edge shape factor. As turbine rotational speed increased, the average temperature of turbine blades was further decreased. It was also found that the surface temperature of turbine blades with a sharp edge was lower than round-type edge turbine blades.

Soil environmental conditions can affect nutrient availability during growth stage of tree fruit. We investigated the cause of disorderd fruit by the influence of soil chemical properties in orchard soil, composition of mineral nutrient in leaves and fruit to occur physiological disorderd fruit at four locations (Ulsan, Gyeongju, Pyeongtaek, Ansung) compared to healthy. There were significantly different (P=0.05) in exchangeable Ca, K, Mg and total nitrogen content in orchard soil between physiological disordered fruit and healthy fruit. The exchangeable Ca content in orchard soil caused by physiological disordered fruit was statistically lower than that of healthy fruit. However, exchangeable K, Mg and total nitrogen contents were higher than that healthy (P=0.05). There was a significant difference (P=0.05) in Ca content between physiological disordered fruit and healthy. Ca content in fruit flesh of physiological disorderedfruit was statistically lower than that of healthy. The physiological disordered fruit was a higher ratio of Mg/Ca in fruit flesh and peel compared to healthy fruit and also the ratios of N/Ca and K/Ca in a leaf were higher. The negative correlation between Ca and K, and Ca and Mg was detected in the fruit flesh of physiological disordered fruit. Therefore, we concluded that insufficient Ca content in fruit may cause 'the physiological disorder' pomelo disease and high content of N, exchangeable K and Mg ion in the soil solution might be disturbs exchangeable Ca ion to be absorbed in fruit.
