Since resources of fossil fuels are limited, development of alternative energies is emphasized and research on new-regenerative energy is actively in progress worldwide. In present research, physical and chemical characteristics of mixed fuel are analyzed in detail for the different mixture rate of conventional and bio-diesel and ultrasonic irradiation time. Experimental setup consists of ultrasonic generator, vibrator, horn, and reflector. Various physical and chemical characteristics of fuel are investigated for volumetric mixture rate of bio-diesel from 0 to 100%. As results, viscosity and surface tension is increased as mixture rate of bio-diesel is increased. Also, molecular splits and reunions are increased and decreased repeatedly after some period of time as ultrasonic energy irradiation time is increased. As conclusion of experiments, Olefin rate, Branch index, and Aromatic rate are influenced by ultrasonic irradiation time.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the correlation of chemical structure and cetane number of reformed diesel fuels by ultrasonic irradiation. In order to analyze the effect of the chemical structure and the cetane number of reformed diesel fuels by ultrasonic irradiation, $^1H-NMR$ was used. From the study, following conclusive remarks can be made. 1) BI(=Branch Index), aromatics percentages, and $H_{\alpha}(={\alpha}-methyl$ functional group) of the reformed diesel fuels by ultrasonic irradiation decreased more than those of the conventional diesel fuel. 2) All the cetane numbers which were calculated from carbon type structure and hydrogen type distribution of the reformed diesel fuels increased more than those of the conventional diesel fuel. 3) Using predicated equation of cetane number caculated from carbon type structure is more reasonable than that caculated from hydrogen type distribution 4) BI, aromatics percentages, and $H_{\alpha}$ on both of conventional fuel and reformed diesel fuels by ultrasonic irradiation are inversely proportional to cetane number on these fuels.

In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the water-entry characteristics of the high-speed parallel projectile numerically. The shear stress transport k-𝜔 turbulence model and the Zwart-Gerber-Belamri cavitation model based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes method were used. The grid independent inspection and grid convergence index is carried out and verified. The influences of the parallel water-entry on flow filed characteristics, trajectory stability and drag reduction performance for different values of initial water-entry speed (𝜈₀ = 280 m/s, 340 m/s, 400 m/s) and clearance between the parallel projectiles (L_p = 0.5D, 1.0D, 2.0D, 3.0D) are presented and analyzed in detail. Under the condition of the parallel water-entry, it can be found that due to the intense interference between the parallel projectiles, the distribution of cavity is non-uniform and part of the projectile is exposed to water, resulting in the destruction of the cavity structure and the decline of trajectory stability. In addition, the parallel projectile suffers more severe lateral force that separates the two projectiles. The drag reduction performance is impacted and the velocity attenuation is accelerated as the clearance between the parallel projectiles reduces.
