This study was conducted to define the characteristics of the fan according to the bed depth of rough rice for the silo used in South Korea. In this study, the characteristics like air flow resistance and air flow rate of the fan were investigated for an independent blowing system with 1 fan and the serial blowing system with 2 fans. In the experiment, the depth of rough rice was determined by 0, 1, 2, 3.2 and 4.5 m for an independent blowing system and the depth of rough rice was 4.5 m for the serial blowing system. The air flow resistances of the blowing fan and the suction fan in an independent blowing system were 55 mmAq and 88 mmAq respectively. In addition, the air flow resistance of the serial blowing system was 61% lower than the blowing fan and 28% lower than the suction fan of the independent blowing system. The air flow rates of the blowing fan and the suction fan in the serial blowing system were 516 $m^3/min$, 570 $m^3/min$, respectively. The former was 22% higher than the blowing fan while the latter was 29% higher than the suction fan in the independence blowing system. In other words, the serial blowing system was superior to the independent blowing system in blowing characteristics because the air flow rate was lower and air flow resistance was higher than the independent blowing system. However, the fan power consumption of the serial blowing system was more than 100% comparing with the independent blowing system.

A finite-difference method based on characteristic upwind flux difference splitting has been studied on the blowing effect on the wall heat transfer over blunt-bodies. As the blowing rates increased, the wall heat transfer rate decreased and the temperature gradient also decreased compared with no blowing case. The heat trasfer rate at Mach No. 20 was almost twice higher than that of Mach No. 15 at 50km altitude. The surface blowing can be an effective mechanism to reduce the surface heat transfer rate at hypersonic flight condition.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of postural correction training on pulmonary function on 28 college students suspected of turtle neck syndrome, and the following conclusions were obtained. Methods : Turtle neck syndrome suspicion 28 person were randomly divided into a posture training group (n = 14) and group that does not perform posture training (n = 14). Respiratory function was measured by SPIROVIT SP-1 and respiratory gas analyzer. The posture training group performed balloon blowing and stair climbing after 20 minutes of posture training, and the group without posture training carried out balloon blowing training and stair climbing. Five times a week and for two weeks. Results : 1. The comparison of the FVC before and after experiments caused by balloon blowing showed a higher level of effortful pulmonary function in the control group than in the experimental group. 2. Comparison of PEFs before and after the experiment by balloon blowing showed that the experimental group's peak flow rate was higher than that of the control group. 3. Comparison of the FIVC before and after experiments with balloon blowing showed that the comparison of the FIVC showed a higher level of effortless intake pulmonary function in the control group than in the experimental group. 4. The comparison of the maximum ventilation volume(VE) before and after the experimental gas measurement showed that the maximum ventilation rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. 5. The comparison of pre-test and post-test heart rate(HR) by breath gas measurement showed that the heart rate of the control group was higher than that of the experimental group. Conclusion : the results of this study showed that postural correction training, balloon blowing training, and stair climbing could have a positive impact on improving pulmonary function. However, the two-week experiment conducted five times a week showed an increase in pulmonary function, but it was difficult to see the effect due to the short study period. Therefore, it is hoped that later studies will be conducted more systematically on the effects of breathing exercises on improving pulmonary function after post-postural correction training for patients with pulmonary function problems.

To understand the role of helical geometry on the regression rate enhancement, two competing underlying mechanisms such as turbulence enhancement and swirling motion production were studied by numerical calculations. Experimental results showed that the enhancement of heat transfer rate has the very close relation to the increase in regression rate even though the percentage of increase in heat transfer rate is different from that in regression rate. This discrepancy is presumably due to the change of turbulent flow feature caused by so-called "blowing mass flux" from the fuel surface. In this regard, the results of RANS calculation show that the blowing velocity is responsible for the reduction of the swirl generation and the increase in the turbulent kinetic energy. And the dominancy of one of the mechanisms causes the increase in the regression rate. Meanwhile, the increase in turbulent kinetic energy due to the mixing of blowing flow and free stream flow does not contribute for the enhancement of the heat transfer rate to the surface because the blowing flow pushes boundary layer away from the solid surface.

An experimental study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of a suction-blowing fan that could not only remove polluted air by suction but also create the air-curtain by blowing. In order to create the air-curtain, rotors were installed on the surface of the shroud. These blows fresh air into the polluted region. The fresh air is spouted backward 45o on the basis of the axial direction using a double-ducted bellmouth. In the same suction operating condition, the suction region was extended by increasing the blowing velocity. However, the increasing rate of suction region was reduced when the blowing velocity was increased steadily. Thus, an efficient blowing velocity should be determined depending on the suction operating condition. In addition, the blowing requires additional input power. In a fixed suction operating condition, the input power was linearly increased in proportion to the blowing flowrate. When the suction-blowing fan was operated in the same input power as the suction fan, the suction region was increased more than 30% based on the 0.6m/sec velocity.

Measurements of local blowing ratio and ammonia-diazo flow visualizations have been conducted for a shower-head film cooling on a first-stage turbine stator. In this study, six rows of normal holes are drilled symmetrically on the semicircular leading edge of a simulated blunt body. The measurements show that for an average blowing ratio based on freestream velocity, M, of 0.5, local average mass flow rate through the first two rows of the holes is less than those through the second and third two rows of the holes, and the fraction of mass flow rate through the first two rows to total mass flow rate has a tendency to increase with the increment of M. The flow visualizations reveal that the injection through the first two row results in inferior film coverage even In the case of M = 0.5, meanwhile the row of holes situated at farther downstream location provides higher film-cooling performances for all tested M. This is because film-cooling effectiveness depends on local mainflow velocity at the hole location as well as the mass flow rate through each row.

Physical properties of foams depend on the density of foams, Physical properties of base polymers, open ceil contents, and cell structures including the size, size distribution, shape of ceil and the thickness of membrane and strut. The density of foam is affected by raw materials, concentration oi crosslinking agent and blowing agent and process parameters such as processing technique and condition. Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer(EVA) foam is a crosslinked cellular material. The foaming characteristics and physical properties of EVA foam are affected by decomposition rate of blowing agent. In this study, the decomposition rate of blowing agent and crosslinking rate, foaming characteristics and physical properties of foams were evaluated. The slow decomposition rate of blowing agent results in low density foam, good shock absorption property and uniform cell size distribution compared to the high decomposition rate of blowing agent.

Dispersion of coolant jets in a film cooling flow field is the result of a highly complex interaction between the film cooling jets and the mainstream. In order to investigate the effect of blowing ratios on the film cooling of turbine blade, cylindrical body model was used. Mainstream Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter was $7.1\;\times\;10^4$. The free-stream turbulence intensity kept at $5.0\%$ by using turbulence grid. The effect of coolant flow rates was studied for blowing ratios of 0.9, 1.3 and 1.6, respectively. The temperature distribution of the cylindrical model surface is visualized by infrared thermography (IRT). Results show that the film-cooling performance may be significantly improved by controlling the blowing ratio. As blowing ratio increases, the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness is more broadly distributed and the area protected by coolant increases. The mass flow rate of the coolant through the first-row holes is less than that through the second-row holes due to the pressure variation around the cylinder surface.

To reduce the weight of the engineering plastic Nylon 6 resin, two high-temperature foaming agents, p-toluenesulfonyl semicarbazide (PTSS) and 5-phenyltetrazole (5-PT) (0-10 phr), were added and foamed without other additives. We investigated the effects of the foaming agent type and content on the foam density (g/cm³) and percent weight reduction rate of the Nylon 6 foam, and 5-PT exhibited better foaming performance than PTSS. In the case of 5-PT, the weight reduction rate was above 36% when the blowing agent content was 1.5 phr or higher, indicating that 5-PT is an effective blowing agent for reducing the Nylon 6 foam weight. Additionally, we studied the effect of the nucleating agent Talc content (0-0.4 phr) on Nylon 6 foaming, and the nucleating agent Talc considerably reduced foaming.
