The present article investigates the influence of droplet drag models on predictions of diesel spray behaviors under ultra-high injection pressure conditions. To consider drop deformation and shock disturbance, this study introduces a new hybrid model in predicting drag coefficient from the literature findings. Numerical simulations are first conducted on transient behaviors of single droplet to compare the hybrid model with earlier conventional model. Moreover, using two different models, extensive numerical calculations are made for diesel sprays under ultra-high pressure sprays. It is found that the droplet drag models play an important role in determining the transient behaviors of sprays such as spray tip velocity and penetration lengths. Numerical results indicate that this new hybrid model yields the much better conformity with measurements especially under the ultra-high injection pressure conditions.

Using piezoresistive effects of single-crystal and poly-crystalline silicon, pressure sensors of the same pattern were fabricated for comparison of temperature characteristics. Optimum size and aspect ratio of rectangular sensor diaphragm were calculated by FEM. For polsilicon pressure sensor, polysilicon resistors of Wheatstone bridge were deposited by LPCVD to be used in a wide' temperature range. Polysilicon pressure sensors showed more stable temperature characteristics than single-crysta1 silicon in the range of $-20\sim125[^{\circ}C]$. To get low TCO (Temperature Coefficient of Offset), below $\pm$3 [${\mu}V/V/^{\circ}C$], it is needed for each TCR of piezoresistors to have a deviation within $\pm25[ppm/^{\circ}C]$ less than $\pm500[ppm/^{\circ}C]$ of resistors for polysilicon pressure sensor can result in low TCS(Temperature Coefficient of Sensitivity) of -0.1[%FS/$^{\circ}C$].

Combustion analysis based on cylinder-pressure provides a mechanism through which a combustion researcher can understand the combustion process. The objective of this paper was to identify the most significant sources of cycle-to-cycle combustion variability in a spark ignition engine at idle. To analyse the cyclic variation in a test engine, the burn parameters are determined on a cycle-to-cycle basis through the analysis of the engine pressure data. The burn rate analysis program was used here and the burn parameters were used to determine the variations in the input parameter-i. e., fuel, air, and residual mass. In this study, we investigated the relationship of indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), coefficient of variation (COV) of IMEP, burn angles, and lowest normalized value (LNV) in a spark ignition engine in a view of cyclic variations.

Experimental investigation was conducted to study the effects of pitch angle maximum camber on the performance and noise of an axial-flow fan used in outdoor-unit of air -conditioner. For this study the axial-flow fan whose pitch angle can be varied was made and the Specific sound Pressure Level and other coefficients were measured using the anechoic fan tester. It is found that pitch angle affects more severly than the maximum camber on the fan performance. On the while the maximum camber affects much on the specific sound power level. Present results show that it is important to choose the optimum pitch angle and maximum camber to design the high-performance and low-noise axial-flow fan and specific noise measured in the anechoic fan tester can be sued effectively for the design of low-noise fan.

Knowledge on the design value of extreme wind pressure coefficients (EWPC) of a specific zone of buildings is essential for the wind-resistant capacity of claddings. This paper presents a method to estimate the representative EWPC introducing the multivariate extreme value model. The spatial correlations of the extreme wind pressures at different locations can be consider through the multivariate extreme value. The moving average method is also adopted in this method, so that the measured point pressure can be converted to wind pressure of an area. The proposed method is applied to wind tunnel test results of a large flat roof building. Comparison with existing methods shows that it can give a good estimation for all target zones with different sizes.

A silicon pressure sensor made of a full bridge of diffused resistors was designed and fabricated using semiconductor integrated circuit process. Thin diaphragms with 30\ulcorner thickness were obtained using anisotropic wet chemical etching technique. Our device showed strong temperature dependence. Compensation networks are used to compensate for the temperature dependence of the pressure sensor. The bridge supply voltage having positive temperature coefficient by compensation networks was utilized against the negative temperature coefficient of bridge output voltage. The sensitivity fluctuation of pressure sensor before temperature compensation was -1700 ppm/\ulcorner, while it reduced to -710ppm\ulcorner with temperature compensation. Our result shows that the we could develop accurate and reliable pressure sensor over a wide temperature range(-20\ulcorner~50\ulcorner).

This work discusses the pressure droop, heat and mass transfer of the finned-tube heat exchangers having 7 mm tubes and offset strips in dehumidifying applications. It focuses on the fin material saving and the reduction of pressure drop. The experiment was conducted using three times scaled-up models to simulate the performance of the prototype. Eight kinds of fins having different strips and S shape edges were tested. the area density of the strip was a major factor and its shape and the location were secondary factors on the pressure drop, the heat and mass transfer. The reduced-area fin can almost equal the non-reduced fin in the aspect of heat and mass transfer. The strip fins proposed in the present work can considerably reduce both the pressure drop and the fin material for similar thermal load.

In the pressure swirl atomizer, the liquid is injected through tangential passages into a swirl chamber, from which it emerges with both tangential and axial velocity components to form a thin conical sheet at the nozzle exit. This sheet rapidly attenuates, finally disintegrating into ligaments and then drops. The purpose of this study is to measure the spray characteristics according to variation of viscosity of the spray produced by the pressure swirl atomizer. The nozzle tested here were especially designed for this investigation. The discharge coefficient is determined by measuring the volume flow rate with a flow meter and the cone angle of the liquid sheets issuing from the nozzle is obtained from series of photographs of the sheet for various liquid viscosity and injection pressure. And mean drop size is measured by image processing method. It is found that the geometrical characteristics of the nozzle and the variation of viscosity were the influential parameters to determine the spray characteristics such as the cone angle, discharge coefficients and SMD.

Wind pressure characteristics on a double tower high-rise structure, which is disturbed by surrounding buildings, were investigated using large eddy simulation (LES) and 1:300 scale wind tunnel experiments. The computational simulation technique and wind tunnel experimental technique were described in detail initially. Comparisons of computational results with the experimental data have subsequently been carried out to validate the reliability of LES. Comparisons have been performed in detail for the mean and fluctuating pressure coefficients. Detailed explanations of each comparison were given in the paper. To study further on the pressure coefficients on the building surfaces, parametric studies on shape coefficient and spatial correlation were performed and investigated. The numerical and experimental results presented in this paper advance understanding on wind field around buildings and the application of LES and wind tunnel tests.

Delayed Detached-Eddy Simulation was conducted to investigate surface pressure coefficient distribution and surface pressure fluctuation over an ONERA 70-degree delta wing at a high angle of attack. Time-averaged surface pressure distribution is directly affected by the primary vortices, whereas the pressure fluctuation is influenced by the unsteady fluctuating boundary layer over the surface. And pressure coefficient, velocity, pressure fluctuation, and turbulent kinetic energy were analyzed along the vortex core in order to investigate the process of vortex breakdown. Consequently, strong pressure fluctuations were found where the vortex breakdown was occurred at x~620 mm. The turbulent kinetic energy abruptly increased and followed after the vortex breakdown.
