The field tests on the waterhammer were carried out in the pump pipeline system with an air chamber. The effects of the input variables and the design parameters for the air chamber were investigated by both the numerical calculations and the experiments. Because the waterhammer problems as a result of the pump power failure were the most important, these situations were carefully studied. Among the input variables used in the waterhammer analysis, the polytropic exponent, the discharge coefficient and the wavespeed had influence on the simulated results in that order, and were calibrated in comparison with the experimental results. As the initial air volume in a vessel increased, the period of waterhammer increased and the pressure variation decreased, resulting from the reduction of the rate of pressure change in the air chamber. Using smaller orifice in the bypass pipe, the pressure rise was suppressed in some degree and the pressure surge was dissipated more rapidly as time passed. The simulations were in fairly good agreement with the measured values until 1∼2 periods of waterhammer. Not only the maximum and minimum pressures in the pipe1ine but also those occurring times were reasonably predicted. The computer program developed in this study will be useful in designing the optimum parameters of an air chamber for the real pump pipeline system.

Objectives: This study aims to identify whether ventilation conditions and their effectiveness can be significantly improved in an experimental chamber by increasing the mixing factor (K-Factor). Methods: In a chamber with a volume of $1m^3$, air velocity was measured at six different points with four roof fans in the upper part of the chamber being operated in order. The impact of the ventilation conditions was analyzed when the flow rates were increasing and the first inlet of the chamber was either open or closed. Smoke patterns were also observed at four corner points where ventilation was limited. Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were performed to compare air velocities measured in the chamber. Results: The air velocities measured at only the third point increased significantly from $0.03{\pm}0.03m/s$ (door open) and $0.05{\pm}0.06m/s$ (door closed) with two fans, $0.08{\pm}0.08m/s$ with three fans, and $0.09{\pm}0.09m/s$ with four fans operating (p<0.05). However, air velocities at the four corner points did not significantly increase. Smoke patters also showed that the open inlet of the chamber had no effect on improvement of ventilation conditions and effectiveness. Conclusions: In this study, the air velocities at six points in the chamber did not significantly increase despite the increase in the mixing factor and flow rates of ventilation in the controlled environment. Therefore, the inflow of outdoor air throughout an open inlet and installation of a forced ventilation system can potentially increase the indoor air velocity and improve ventilation condition without an increase in the mixing factor.

This study was conducted to analyze the variations of air temperature, relative humidity and pressure in a low pressure chamber for plant growth. The low pressure chamber was composed of an acrylic cylinder, a stainless plate, a mass flow controller, an elastomer pressure controller, a read-out-box, a vacuum pump, and sensors of air temperature, relative humidity, and pressure. The pressure leakage in the low pressure chamber was greatly affected by the material and connection method of tubes. The leakage rate in the low pressure chamber with the welding of the stainless tubes and a plate decreased by $0.21kPa{\cdot}h^{-1}$, whereas the leakage in the low pressure chamber with teflon tube and rubber O-ring was given by $1.03kPa{\cdot}h^{-1}$. Pressure in the low pressure chamber was sensitively fluctuated by the air temperature inside the chamber. An elastomer pressure controller was installed to keep the pressure in the low pressure chamber at a setting value. However, inside relative humidity at dark period increased to saturation level.. Two levels (25 and 50kPa) of pressure and two levels (500 and 1,000sccm) of mass flow rate were provided to investigate the effect of low pressure and mass flow rate on relative humidity inside the chamber. It was concluded that low setting value of pressure and high mass flow rate of mixed gas were the effective methods to control the pressure and to suppress the excessive rise of relative humidity inside the chamber.

This paper reports a numerical flow characteristic analysis in gas boiler combustion chamber. The numerical results with simplification and assumptions were found within 30% of the experiment. A lot of geometrical modification has been invested in attempt to obtain the uniform flow in the combustion chamber exit. As a result, the velocity magnitude of the combustion chamber is relate with the hole size in air distribution plate. The velocity uniformity of the combustion chamber is relate with the number of holes and location in air distribution plate.

More recently, workers and passengers of casualties has increased by rear-end collisions of unexpected while working on the road. Recently attracted air chamber TMA mounting car accidents which occurred in 3 years, and analyzed the effect of reducing the shock absorption and protection performance and casualties. There is a risk of the vehicle AIS4 more injury of high five accidents of casualties risk, also, was the analysis that there is risk of death was avoided by the air chamber TMA and SGT. Therefore, by mounting the TMA in the rear-end accident, so you can reduce the death and casualties, it must be increased this of attach rate for road construction vehicle.

공기실(air chamber)은 관망에 있어 압력수두가 설계치를 초과하지 않고 또한 최저 압력수두가 발생하지 않도록 하기 위해 설계된다. 따라서 공기실은 갑작스런 펌프의 중단에 따르는 순간적인 최고 및 최저 압력수두의 발생을 방지하기 위해 사용되어 진다. 본 연구에서는 가상적인 관망에 공기실을 적용하여 공기실의 공기부피, 위치, 면적, 오리피스에서의 손실계수 그리고 polytropic지수의 변화에 따른 압력수두의 완화효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 공기의 부피가 증가할수록 최고압력수두는 감소하고 최저 압력수두는 증가함을 보여주었으며, 공기실의 위치나 단면적의 변화는 완화효과의 변화가 별로 없었다. 또한 오리피스 손실계수를 증가할수록 최고 압력수두가 감소함을 보이고, 공기실의 공기가 등온변화과정을 따를때가 단열변화과정을 따를 때보다 최고 압력수두가 낮음을 보여주었다.

The engine containing a radical injector has been studied to improve the performances of efficiency and to reduce the exhaust emissions recently. The engine is far different from general compression ignition engines or spark ignition engines for the concept of combustion process. The inflow characteristic from main chamber into radical chamber during compression stroke is important because the radical chamber must have enough fresh air to generate appropriate radicals. The numerical simulation is performed in each specific shape and the engine speed by using KIVA code. The result shows that the fresh air inflow from main chamber into the radical chamber is the best at 45 degree of the hole angle.

The MPI engine becomes increasingly popular because it meets two requirements of stringent pollutant emission and the lower fuel consumption. Even though supplies the same amount of fuel to each cylinder , it is hard to precisely control the air-duel ration due to the different amount of air flowing into each cylinder. The uniformity of air-fuel ration in each cylinder is considerably affected by the plenum chamber configuration . This study is focused on experimentally analyzing the flow characteristics within the plenum chamber In the present experiment , steady and valve dynamic state flow tests are performed and the flow field inside the plenum chamber is visualized and measured by utilizing a laser sheet visualization technique and a PTV method. These measured results indicate that the flow structure in the plenum chamber is highly influenced by the plenum chamber configurations, suction flow rates, crank speeds and so on.

A numerical study has been conducted to characterize the transient pressure in a simple water supply pipe system with an air chamber by utilizing a commercial code that employs the method of characteristics. Some results produced for validation in the study agree quite well with the previously reported. Several parameters are than varied. Among them are the valve closure time, the wave speed, the static pressure, the polytropic exponent, the air chamber volume, the diameter and the shape of orifice in the air chamber, etc, while the water temperature and velocity are kept constant at $20^\circ{C}$ and 0.8m/s, respectively. Results reported in this parametric study may be useful to understand the unsteady behavior of the system.
