Aircraft weight is an important factor affecting performance and fuel efficiency. In the conceptual design stage of the aircraft, the process of balancing cost and weight is performed using empirical formulas such as fuel consumption cost per weight in estimating element weight. In addition, when an airline operates an aircraft, it promotes fuel efficiency improvement, fuel saving and carbon reduction through weight management activities. The relationship between changes in aircraft weight and changes in fuel consumption is called the cost of weight, and the cost of weight is used to evaluate the effect of adding or reducing weight to an aircraft on fuel consumption. In this study, the problems of the existing cost of weight calculation method are identified, and a new cost of weight calculation method is introduced to solve the problem. Using Breguet's Range Formula and actual flight data of the A350-900 aircraft, two weight costs are calculated based on take-off weight and landing weight. In conclusion, it was suggested that it is reasonable to use the cost of weight based on the take-off weight and the landing weight for other purposes. In particular, the cost of weight based on the landing weight can be used as an empirical formula for estimating element weight and optimizing cost and weight in the conceptual design stage of similar aircraft.

A valve product can be over-designed or too heavy. Finite element analysis was performed using ANSYS for two and three-dimensional ball valve models, and the ball weight was reduced by optimization within the allowable design criteria. The ball is structurally safe according to the computed stress values, which are within the material's admissible stress. The weight was reduced by about 22%, and the structural safety factor was 1.25. The structural safety of the seat insert and ring, which are used to prevent leakage, was confirmed through finite element analysis. It is shown that the two-dimensional analysis can result in similar values to the three-dimensional analysis for the axisymmetric structure. The redesign of the valve is not included in the results since such changes require a whole new design process, including all valve components.

The changes of the physico-chemical characteristics of potato and chicken frying oil with frying number were examined. The changes in temperatures of frying oil during the potato flying were greater than that during the chicken frying. The weight loss of potato during deep frying was about 21.9% and about 12.3% for chicken. The acid values and conjugated dienoic acid values of the potato and chicken frying oils increased with increased frying number. Their values were greater in the chicken frying oil than in the potato frying oil. The peroxide values of frying oil did not change regularly as frying number increased. But iodine values of the frying oils decreased with increased frying number. Linoleic acid content of the frying oil decreased, whereas oleic acid content increased with frying number.

The corrosion durability of steel bridge coatings, such as organic and metallic coatings, is often evaluated by field exposure tests, but such tests take from several years to decades to complete. As a potential method for fast corrosion testing, accelerated exposure tests were considered in this study. The S6-cycle accelerated exposure test, specified in the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS K5621), was carried out on uncoated structural steels for 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days, and the resultant weight loss was determined. The weight loss was compared with that obtained from previous field exposure tests, and acceleration factors of the S6-cycle test to field exposure test sites were determined. The application of the S6-cycle accelerated exposure tests to field environments was presented based on the acceleration factor and the amount of flying salt.

Cellulose-based rayon fibers or fabrics can be thermally decomposed very fast within a narrow temperature window during stabilization process. Therefore the stabilization stage is critically important for producing rayon-based carbon fibers. Consequently, in the present study the effects of isothermal stabilization and ultrasonic cleaning on the weight loss, chemical composition, microstructure, and fabric texture of cellulose-based rayon fabrics were explored. The temperature of the isothermal stabilization process performed in the range of $200{\sim}240^{\circ}C$ influenced the processing time, carbon and oxygen contents, cellulose structural change, and fabric texture. The ultrasonic cleaning, which was conducted prior to the stabilization process, played a role in shortening the stabilization time, increasing the carbon contents, decreasing the oxygen contents, and changing the XRD pattern. Also, it was considered that the ultrasonic cleaning contributed to retarding the weight loss, to reducing the thermal shrinkage, and further to reducing the fast physical change of rayon fabrics.

Composite honeycomb sandwich plate is light and strong. It is easy to produce. It began to be applied to the bodyshell of rolling stock. Generally, weight saving amounts to 27%. However, the material cost of it is much higher than that of aluminum extrusion profile, which prevents popular use of it for bodyshell. In this paper, manufacturing processes of two light materials were compared to investigate cost impact. After cost breakdown was defined, economics of two materials was analyzed using the previous cost data. Easy production of composite bodyshell could compensate for higher material cost. Mass production of composite bodyshell can make the equipment cost lower for the composite bodyshell so that it may have strong competitiveness to the aluminum bodyshell. Operational energy saving due to weight reduction was also presented referring to the actual statistical data in a metro line.

In order to control the weight balance of the waterjet propulsion ship, the pump's weight needed to be decreased. We reduced length of pump hub, overall length of pump and chord length of impeller and stator. To keep pump efficiency and cavitation performance similar to the $1^{st}$design pump, optimum design and experiment were conducted. This paper describes experimental method and numerical analysis for pump design. At the blade design stage, performance analysis of the pump is conducted using commercial CFD codes ($BladeGen^+$,CFX-10). Required performance and cavitation characteristics of the design pumps were measured and observed using the stand-alone test apparatus. The weight of the pump was successfully decreased through a series of pump design processes composed of blade design, performance analysis and model test.

This study is analyzed by the test equipment of gas analyzer in order to discover the gas characteristics of industrial plastic under the pyrolysis and combustion. As results, first, the pyrolysis of polycarbonate was started at $400{\sim}450^{\circ}C$. The combustion started at about $608^{\circ}C$, and the weight decreased at the velocity was 0.03g/min. Second, in case of polyethyleneterephtalate, PET was finished at $620^{\circ}C$ after starting pyrolysis from $420^{\circ}C$, and the weight decreased at the velocity of 0.044g/min. The pyrolysis velocity with the temperature of polyethyleneterephtalate rising was becoming slow and the pyrolysis temperature was higher with less added polyethyleneterephtalate.
