The modern wind turbines are widely used as important natural energy sources for the electric generation in western countries and some Asian nations. They are commercially matured and progressive and clear policy for the more development with higher technical purposes is maintained throughout the world. Modern wind turbines produce nearly 2000 kW output in their largest sizes and this trend increases up to more powerful power and ultimate utilization of wind energy favoured by clean natural energy. This article has the points of reviewing the states of the art of modern wind turbines with their present technical directions toward next generation version. Some descriptionsare given for easy understanding of the turbine components and related fluid mechanics concerned. The general outlines of policy taken over some countries are also introduced.

In this study, we have introduced an improved equivalent modeling technique for large scale composite wind-turbine blade. Conventional or general equivalent modeling procedure may give critical error in the analysis results because of geometric coupling effects. For the analyses of structural vibration and aeroelastic problems, the accuracy of equivalent structural models is very important since it can have high numerical efficiency and various practical applications. Three-dimensional realistic composite wind-turbine blade model is practically considered for numerical study. In order to validate the effect of the mass and the stiffness of the equivalent beam model, comparison study based on the natural vibration analysis has been conducted, and the accuracy levels of the conventional and modified equivalent modeling techniques are presented.

Flow analysis was carried out for a double-suction centrifugal pump. Impeller-only models and a full pump model were used to simulate the velocity field and the pressure field of the pump. Heads and efficiencies were calculated with flow rates in order to obtain general performance of the pump. The calculation results were compared to the experimental data, and satisfactory results were obtained. Thus, it may be said that the CFD serves as a useful tool for pump designs.

Pumps arre used extensively for transporting fluid in many ships. However, the present state of pumps used in the large merchant ships has not been studied. In this paper, we have reported the general description of the operating pumps according to the different ship types(Bulk, Container, Car-Carrier, Tanker, LNG). Moreover, the pump total powers are compared with the main engine Normal Continuous Rating power and the pump total weights are also compared with the ship deadweight.

Pressure characteristics according to the duct shapes of turbo blowers connected in serial have been performed to reduce pressure loss in the piping system. To analyze three-dimensional flow field in the turbo blower system, general analysis code, CFX, is introduced in the present work. SST turbulence model is applied to estimate the eddy viscosity. Throughout the numerical simulation for the turbo blower system having a various shape of a inlet guide, optimal inlet guide can be selected. It is found that the pressure loss in the piping system having the optimal inlet guide can be reduced by minimizing the inflow distortion at the upstream of the impeller. Detailed flow analysis of the blower system serially connected is also performed and analyzed.

Recently, most machineries have been small size and mobile type. Then the motors used in this field are developed in micro size such as about 2mm in diameter. The structure of this motor is similar to a general brushless DC motor but because of small sige there is no position sensor such as hall sensor. In this paper, we propose synchronous driving and control method for micro brushless DC motor without position sensor. We design and manufacture this controller and perform experiment to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The development method of a pneumatic solenoid actuator which is used as key components in automobile and aircraft industry is described. For the optimal design of solenoid actuator, we applied the general electromagnetic theory and empirical knowledge. By using the governing equation for the solenoid actuator based on the electromagnetic theory and empirical coefficient, and constrained of optimization technique, we proposed the optimal design technique of low consumption type DC solenoid actuator. The design results of the DC 24V, 0.5W solenoid actuator were presented.

The purpose of this case study is to discuss the issues and challenges pertaining to industrial safety. The case study begins with the shocking incident of the brutal killing of top-executive of the company by agitated workers. Inspite of having conducive environment for business, Italian subsidiary Robusto Muro Ltd had to confront industrial Relations issues at an incredible and unprecedented level. Management perspective, workers viewpoint, competitors approach and diplomatic comments by political bigwigs have also been incorporated so that the students may have 3-dimensional understanding of the scenario. The case of such genre will facilitate the students to comprehend and discuss the employee-employer relationship and industrial safety, in particular and industrial relations and IR machinery, in general.

In general, the hollow jet valve, the fixed cone valve had been used for the urgency released or maintenance of the flow rate. Nowadays, the butterfly valve, the gate valve are applied in economic performance and operation maintenance more than the hollow jet valve, the fixed cone valve. However, in the case of butterfly valve, it should be required the strict application standard to the cavitation coefficient because the structural axis and disk were situated in pipe channel and the occurring the shock problem by Karman Vortex. Therefore, there were investigated the valve cavitation and accident investigation by field survey to establish the applicable extensibility of the urgency released valve as the preliminary study.

We have proposed a new approach based on energy gradient concept for the study of flow instability and turbulent transition in parallel flows in our previous works. It was shown that the disturbance amplitude required for turbulent transition is inversely proportional to Re, which is in agreement with the experiments for imposed transverse disturbance. In present study, the energy gradient theory is extended to the generalized curved flows which have much application in turbomachinery and other fluid delivery devices. Within the frame of the new theory, basic theorems for flow instability in general cases are provided in details. Examples of applications of the theory are given from our previous studies which show comparison of the theory with available experimental data. It is shown that excellent agreement has been achieved for several configurations. Finally, various prediction methods for turbulent transition are reviewed and commented.
