Tensile tests and creep tests were carried out at high temperatures on an Al-$Al_4C_3$ alloy prepared by mechanical alloying technique. The material contains about 2.0% carbon and 0.9% oxygen in mass percent, and the volume fractions of $Al_4C_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ particles are estimated at 7.4 and 1.4%, respectively, from the chemical composition. Minimum creep rate decreased steeply near two critical stresses, ${\sigma}_{cl}$ (the lower critical stress) and ${\sigma}_{cu}$ (the upper critical stress), with decreasing applied stress at temperatures below 723 K. Instantaneous plastic strain was observed in creep tests above a critical stress, ${\sigma}_{ci}$, at each test temperature. ${\sigma}_{cu}$ and ${\sigma}_{ci}$ were fairly close to the 0.2% proof stress obtained by tensile tests at each test temperature. It is thought that ${\sigma}_{cl}$ and ${\sigma}_{cu}$ correspond to the microscopic yield stress and the macroscopic yield stress, respectively. The lower critical stress corresponds to the local yield stress needed for dislocations to move in the soft region within subgrains. The creep strain in the low stress range below 723 K arises mainly from the local deformation of the soft region. The upper critical stress is equivalent to the macroscopic yield stress necessary for dislocations within subgrains or in subboundaries; this stress can extensively move beyond subboundaries under a stress above the critical point to yield a macroscopic deformation. At higher temperatures above 773 K, the influence of the diffusional creep increases and the stress exponent of the creep rate decreases.

We evaluated the electrical properties of 37 multifilamentary jointed tapes processed by superconducting joint. In the superconducting joining method, a lap-joint was used. Tapes were selectively etched, and exposed superconducting cores of the two tapes were brought into contact with each other and then only the joined region was uniaxially pressed in the range of 1,000 to 2,50 MPa. The critical current ratio(CCR) and n-value of the jointed tape were evaluated as a function of uniaxial pressure and number of step in the contacting region. It was observed that the CCR was dependent on the number of step, but almost independent of uniaxial pressure. The highest critical current ratio and n-value were obtained to be 58% and 26%, respectively, for the jointed tape to the tape itself.

An improved mechanistic model was developed to predict a convective boiling critical heat flux (CHF) in the vertical round tubes with uniform heat fluxes. The CHF formula for subcooled and low quality boiling was derived from the local conservation equations of mass, energy and momentum, together with appropriate constitutive relations. The model is characterized by the momentum balance equation to determine the limiting transverse interchange of mass flux crossing the interface of wall bubbly layer and core by taking account of the convective shear effect due to the frictional drag on the wall-attached bubbles. Comparison between the present model predictions and experimental CHF data from several sources shows good agreement over a wide range of How conditions. The present model shows comparable prediction accuracy with the CHF look-up table of Groeneveld et al. Also the model correctly accounts for the effects of flow variables as well as geometry parameters.

An experimental study was made to elucidate critical heat flux(CHF) characteristics in a two-phase concentric-tube thermosyphon. The experiment was performed by using saturated water, over the experimental range of configuration: inner diameter of heated outer tube D=12mm, outer diameter of unheated inner tube do=3 to 10mm and heated tube length L=100 to 1000mm. The experiment shows that the CHF is enhanced with increase in the inner tube diameter, and that the CHF decreases beyond a certain diameter of the inner tube. There is an optimum diameter for inner tube that maximizes the CHF, for each tube length and test liquid. The CHF maximum is about two to eight times as large as that without an inner tube. For a large inner tube, the CHF characteristics is similar to that for natural convective boiling in a vertical annular tube.

Surfactants can be used as a cosmetics and chemical dispersants. The variation of critical micelle concentration(CMC) with temperature for hexadecyl pyridinium bromide over the range $40^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ has been measured by drop methods. Thermodynamic quantities for micellization of hexadecyl pyridinium bromide in water have been calculated by polynominal equation.

Dual solutions for steady natural convection of air between two horizontal concentric cylinders are numerically investigated in the range of $D_i$/TEX>/L(=diameter of inner cylinder/gap width)$\leq$10. It is found that, when the Rayleigh number based on the gap width exceeds a certain critical value, a new flow pattern forming two counter-rotating eddies in the half of the annulus can be realized, which is different from the crescent-shaped flow commonly observed. In the new flow pattern, the fluid near the top of the hot inner cylinder moves downward. This solution is found for D$_{i}$/L.geq.0.3, but not for$D_i$/TEX>/L$\leq$0.2. As $D_i$/TEX>/L increase, the critical Rayleigh number is decreased, and tends to a finite limit.t.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve Genetic Algorithm using Boltzmann selection which Michael has suggested. But Michael uses temperature schedule(the initial temperature, the cooling rate), which can be applicable only to the limited range of problems. We propose a new method to find the critical temperature and the cooling rate as parameters of the temperature schedule. The critical temperature can be derived from the distribution of each individual＇s fitness. Through the application of the island model where each island has differing cooling rate, it is proved that it is unnecessary to find the optimal cooling rate. The simulation on the TSP＇s with various city sizes proves the proposed critical temperature correct.

We fabricated BSCCO multifilaments superconductor tape and evaluated the effect of twisting on the microstructural evolution and critical current. Twist pitches of the tapes are in the range of 70 - 8 mm and uniformly deformed. It was observed that grain size and the degree of texture decreased as decreasing pith, probably due to the formation of the irregular interface between Ag and filaments. In addition, critical current of the tapes decreased to 6.5A with decreasing pitch to 8 mm, showing 48% of degradation compared to the untwisted tape(12.5 A). These reduction of critical current may be related to the interface irregularity, smaller grain size, worse texture and the presence of cracks due to the induced strain during twisting processing.

When low sliding velocities in the boundary lubrication range are operating, irregular movements frequently occur which are a result of the stick-slip phenomenon. Such slide motions are undesirable in precision machine tools, particularly with feed back systems used in numerical and adaptive control machine tools. Accordingly, this paper reports analytical and experimental studies in the stick-slip characteristic of machine tool feeding system. The main conclusions of this study are as follows; The tendency towards stick-slip effects may be reduced by; 1). Reducing the drop in friction coefficient in the Stribeck curve(on the rising part of the friction characteristic at higher sliding speeds, the system is stable all the time) 2). Reducing the transition velocity by the use of a higher viscosity lubricating oil. 3). Increasing the stiffness(Damping)and reducing normal load(Sliding mass) Therefore, the Critical velocity is decided from the above conclusions and in designing of machine tool, feed rates(sliding velocity)must be design the more than critical velocity.
