The purpose of this study is to develop the technique of energy recovery and energy saving by using the optimization of heat exchanger network synthesis. This article proposes a new method of determining the optimal target of a heat exchanger network synthesis problem of which data feature multiple pinch points. The system separation method we suggest here is to subdivide the original system into independent subsystems with one pinch point. The optimal cost target was evaluated and the original pinch rules at each subsystem were employed. The software developed in this study was applied to the Alko prosess, which is an alcohol production process, for the synthesis of heat exchanger network. It was possible to save about 15% of the total annual cost.

The spin wave absorption spectra are obtained by a simultaneous solution of the Maxwell equation and the Gilbert equation considering the boundary condition of electromagnetic wave and magnetization in the film surfaces. The physical parameters that influence the absorption energy are thickness, exchange stiffness constant, surface magnetic anisotropy, magnetization. damping factor, electric resistivity of the thin film. We investigated how these parameters affect the resonance field, the linewidth and the intensity of the spin wave spectrum.

An accelerated life test (ALT) is used to estimate the reliability of machinery parts and system with a design specification as soon as possible. However, accelerated life test results with simple and severe conditions are inconsistent with physical phenomena in real service condition. Therefore, to assure the safety of the machinery system, it is necessary to establish the appropriate test condition of the ALT of machinery element. In this study, fatigue analysis of the spur gear as a part of the gear box system in the rolling stock was performed. Moreover, based on the results, appropriate test condition of the ALT is developed using both the probabilistic model of the linear damage rule and accelerated durability analysis simulation.

Heat exchanger network synthesis is very useful to aspects of energy recovery and saving. In order to obtain the optimal network structure for minimum utility cost, multiple utilities were used. In this study, the practical matches of process streams were not considered, but only evaluation of targets was demonstrated. The program developed in this work was applied to the alcohol production process and it was possible to find the optimal cost targets.

This paper describes the method decide to optimal sizing and operation scheduling of total cogeneration system which is interconnected with cogeneration unit of utility and auxiliary thermal devices of heating company. Optimal sizing and operation scheduling is established in order to minimize the fuel cost under national viewpoint. Simulations are carried out to show the reliability of method suggested by seasons and kinds. The simulated results can be effectively used as the guideline of operation scheduling between the utility and the heating company.

This study presents steady-state finite element analysis of three-dimensional hot extrusion of sections through square dies. The objective of this study is to develop a steady-state finite element method for hot extrusion through square dies, and to provide theoretical basis for the optimal die design and process control in the extrusion technology. In the present work, steady-state assumption is applied to both analyses of deformation and temperature. The analysis of temperature distribution includes heat transfer. Convection like element is adopted for the heat transfer analysis between billet and container, and also billet and die. Distributions of temperature, effective strain rate, velocity and mean stress are discussed to design extrusion die effectively.

The kinematically admissible velocity field is developed for the shapes of dead metal zone and the curving velocity distribution in the eccentric plane dies extrusion. The shape of dead metal zone is defined as the boundary surface with the maximum friction constant between the deformable zone and the rigid zone. The curving phenomenon in the eccentric plane dies is caused by the eccentricity of plane dies. The axial velocity distribution in the plane dies is divided in to the uniform velocity and the deviated velocity. The deviated velocity is linearly changed with the distance from the center of cross-section of the workpiece. The results show that the curvature of products and the shapes of the dead metal zone are determined by the minimization of the plastic work and that the curvature of the extruded products increases with the eccentricity.

This study presents development of an software for process and die design of hot extrusion through square dies. The design of extrusion dies is still an art rather than a science with increasing complexity of shape and thinness of section. Therefore most of the die design is still dependent on personal judgement intuition and experience. The objective of this study is to develop an software system which includes a design rule extracted from literatures and experts in the extrusion industry. The developed system is effectively used to design extrusion processes and dies with reduced lead time and trial extrusion.

A simple kinematically admissible velocity field is proposed to drtermine the final-stage extrusion load and the average extruded length in the square-die forward extrusion of non-axisymmetric bars from circular billets. The proposed velocity field is applied to the square-die extrusion of trochoidal gear-shaped bars and rectangular-shaped bars, the profile function of a rectangular being approximated by using a Fourier series. Experiments have been carried out with hard solder billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the extrusion load are in good agreements with the experimental results and there is generally reasonable agreements in average extruded length between theory and experiment.
