Plate Heat Exchnager(PHE) has recently become widely adopted for cogeneration systems owing to its small installation space and high thermal efficiency. The gap between plates can be changed depending on its assemble type, i.e. gasket or blazing. The gap is known to affect thermal efficiency and working pressure drop in PHE with complicated geometrical features. Numerical simulation techniques have been developed to deal with PHE with complex configuration of chevron plates. The present study is aiming at identifying the gap effect on pressure drop and thermal efficiency of the PHE. The numerical simulation results show that the gap has relatively large effects on working pressure drop than thermal efficiency in performance of PHE.

The spatial fuel vapor distribution of the homogeneous charge by a 6-hole injector was examined in a optically accessed single cylinder direct injection spark ignition(DISI) engine. The effects of in-cylinder charge motion, and fuel injection pressure, and coolant temperature were investigated using a planar LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) technique. It was confirmed that the in-cylinder tumble flow played a little more effective role in the spatial fuel vapor distribution than the swirl flow during the compression stroke at 10 mm and 2 mm planes under cylinder head gasket and the increased fuel injection pressure activated spatial distributions of the fuel vapor. In additions, richer mixtures were concentrated around the cylinder wall by the increase of the coolant temperature.

Magnetron is applied in microwave ovens for generating microwaves. It is composed of r-fin, yoke, A/F seals, gasket base, filter box. The temperature is occurred highly, when magnetron operate in its systems. Therefore the thermal characteristics must be considered in the design of magnetron. Because of its geometric complex, it is difficult to analysis the thermal characteristics. In this paper, temperature analysis is performed for all components. The commercial software ANSYS is used to consider both conduction and convection. The analysis is carried out by adding each component. An experiment on the thermal characteristics is performed to verify the reliability for simulation.

Currently, the bipolar plates are fabricated mainly from graphite materials. However, metal bipolar plate are getting most attractive due to their good feasibility of mass production and low cost. In this study, metal bipolar plates for fuel cell Vehicles were developed with a concept based on the straight flow patterns to minimize the pressure drop and spring back. And molded gasket apply to the bipolar plate for improve sealing performance. Results show that the metal bipolar plate have a high potential to replace for graphite materials in fuel cell application.

The durability of 80 kW class stack module was tested in hydrogen recirculation and non-recirculation systems with the condition of 300Amps (constant current mode) and hydrogen pulse purging (10 seconds close/0.8 seconds open). A localized membrane failure in the interfacial area between membrane and sub-gasket, carbon corrosion in cathode electrode, and Pt dissolution/extraction have been found through the post mortem analysis such as CV, Impedance, SEM, and so on. The main reason of these mechanisms will be discussed in this study.

밀봉장치는 밀봉요소 또는 시일(seal)이라 불리우며, 서로 접촉한 부분 사이에서 유체의 누설방지 및 이물질의 침입방지에 이용되고 있다. 밀봉면에 거시적인 상대운동이 있는가 없는가에 따라 동적요소와 정적요소로 분리된다. 동적밀봉요소를 운동용 시일 또는 패킹(packing)이라하고 크게 접촉형과 비접촉형으로 분리된다. 정적밀봉요소를 정지용 또는 고정용 시일이라하며 가스켓(gasket)이라고도 한다. 오일 시일의 일반적인 사항에 대해 설명하였다. 사용기기의 고속, 고성능화에 다라 오일 시일의 사용조건이 점점 가혹하게 되고 있으므로 신뢰성과 안정성에 대한 요구도 증가하고 있다. 특히 트러블 원인은 살펴보면 취급법이나 축에 기인하는 초기 고장이 많으므로, 사용조건에 적당한 오일 시일을 선정하고 올바른 사용 방법을 지키므로서 초기 고장을 대폭 감소시킬 수 있다. 보다 전문적인 내용들은 관련 문헌을 참조바란다.

In this paper a determination of the optimal segment sealing material for a tunnel under the Han river between the Sungsoo-dong, Sungdong-Gu and the Chungdaw-dong, Kangnam-Gu in the Bundang railway. The geological investigation results show that some fractured zones exist loca]]y under the northern boundary of the Han river bed, but the other regions consist mostly of hard rocks of good Quality in the tunnel excavation level. Also, a hign water pressure of $5kgf/cm^2$ and a flash inflow of river water due to old boring holes are expected during tunnel excavation. A combined type sealing material of EPDM gasket with expansional rubber is selected as a optimal segment sealing material for the Han river tunnel considering the geological and site conditions.

In this analytical study on the engine coolant flow of a heavy-duty diesel engine with 4 valves and linear-type 8 liter 6 cylinders, the characteristics of pressure drop and engine cooling performance with the additional coolant passages between cylinder blocks have been investigated. Since the most part of pressure drop is caused by the coolant flow passages inside a cylinder head and cylinder blocks for this type of heavy-duty diesel engines, the advantage of pressure drop is just 2.6% and the characteristics of heat transfer and the distribution of coolant velocities in the head part show little differences in case of additional coolant passages. Thus the coolant flow passages between cylinder blocks make little contribution on the cooling performance of heavy-duty diesel engines

Mechanical behavior of a fuel stack was studied by the orthotropic material model. The fuel stack is mainly composed of bipolar plate (BP), gasket, end plate, membrane electrolyte assembly (MEA), and gas diffusion layer (GDL). Each component is fastened with a suitable pressure. It is very important to maintain a suitable contact pressure of BP, because it affects the efficiency of the fuel cell. This study compared mechanical behavior of various fastening types of the fuel cell stack. Bar, band, and modified band fastening type are used. The band fastening type showed that it reduces total volume of the cell, but it does not improve the contact pressure distribution of each BP. The modified band fastening type was designed by considering the deformations of band fastening type, and it showed a good enhancement of contact pressure distribution.
