To maintain the freshness of produce, because of stand away between produced and consumer, we need refrigeration system that can supply to consumer at cold chain as soon as gathering. General refrigeration system consist of refrigeration chamber or low temperature store. But the vacuum technology can rapidly refrigeration without refrigerator. This precool system possible to get low precooled temperature, suitable for the fishes, the meat, the vegetables, the fruit etc. Especially get advantage that quality maintain through rapid refrigeration of ferment directly generate heat. Vacuum precool system's principle is that water saturated temperature reduce according to pressure is get to vacuum area, so product temperature reduce as water evaporation at product. In vacuum suction, unit, on early experiment period run the rotary type vacuum pump at purpose pressure, then maintain pressure by water-diven ejector. As the results, cabbage took about 60 minutes to reach from $23.2^{\circ}C$ to $4.5^{\circ}C$at 5mgHg abs.

Hot-firing tests were performed on the third sub-scale gas generator for development of a 75 ton-class liquid rocket engine. This paper deals with the analysis results of low-frequency combustion instabilities that were encountered during combustion tests of the gas generator. The low-frequency pressure fluctuations seem to be related to chamber pressure and pressure drops through oxidizer/fuel injectors.

The emission control of automobile has been intensified as a part of the countermeasure to decrease air pollution in the world. As the cars with an alternative fuel starts to get into the spotlight, the cars with low emission has been introduced and exhaust gas regulation forced in this country. These days, LPG vehicles, which infrastructure of fuel was already built up, and CNG vehicles are recognized for alternative fuel cars in this country. In this study, the constant volume combustion chamber was manufactured and used for experiments to obtain the combustion characteristics of propane mixture. The combustion characteristics was analyzed, with the change of supply conditions of propane fuel. Inside the combustion chamber, the maximum temperature increase with the initial pressure is going up. The burning velocity also seems to have the same characteristic as the temperature. However, the heat flux do not change much according to the theoretical correct mixture but it changes with the various initial temperature of the combustion chamber.

It is well known that a lean burn engine caused by stratified mixture formation has many kinds of advantages to combustion characteristics, such as higher thermal efficiency and lower CO, NOx levels than conventional homogeneous mixture combustion. Although this combustion can achieve low fuel consumption technology, it produces much unburned hydrocarbon and soot because of heterogeneous equivalence ratio in the combustion chamber. Therefore, the stratified mixture formation technology is very important to obtain the stable lean combustion. In this paper, fundamental studies for stratified combustion were carried out using a constant volume combustion chamber. The local effect of mixture formation according to control air-fuel distribution in the chamber was examined experimentally. In addition, the effect of turbulence on stratified charge combustion process was observed by schlieren photography. From this study, we found that the flame propagation speed increase with swirl flow and the swirl promotes the formation of fuel and air mixture.

It has been observed in experiments that combustion instability of low frequency (${\sim}$ 10Hz) results form the modulation of equivalence ratio at fuel injection hole when a pressure fluctuation propagates upwards along the channel of the burner under an unchoked fuel flow condition. In this study, a commercial program was used to determine how the fuel flow rate changed with respect to the pressure, velocity of the fuel flow and the mass fraction in a choked and an unchoked condition. The calculation focus on the upstream of the dump plane to know how the forced pressure with the fuel injection conditions affects the modulation of the equivalence ratio. Therefore, it is found that pressure fluctuation leads to oscillation of mass flow rate and then results in equivalence ratio modulation under the unchoked fuel flow condition.

An Experimental study on the characteristics of high pressure gas quenching system was carried out in the present study. The characteristics of gas quenching system have been studied with high pressure gas chamber and specimen for various gas pressure and velocity which are the design parameter of quenching system. The quenching gas was used compressed air which properties are very similar with Nitrogen gas usually used in industrial gas quenching system. The result shows that the quenching rate of mid surface of specimen is lower than each ends of them which are close to low temperature quenching surface. And to increases the quenching intensity, the increment of quenching gas pressure is more efficient than the increment of quenching gas velocity at the point of reducing the circulation fan power.

In this paper, insulations characteristics by temperature changes(＋50～-50[$^{\circ}C$]) of $SF_{6}$ gas in the experimental chamber were studied. From this result, at the low temperature, the breakdown voltage was increased with a drop of temperature and an increase of inner pressure in GIS. In addition the ability of insulation of liquid $SF_{6}$ was higher than that of the highly pressurized $SF_{6}$ gas. That is, with progress of low temperature, the main reason of breakdown was not liquefaction of $SF_{6}$ but rapid decrease of inner pressure. This study will come in greatly handy for the insulation design of GIS in a hard cold region

An experimental study has been conducted to verify the startup characteristic of a Center Body Diffuser (CBD) for simulating a low pressure environment when at high altitudes. Vacuum chamber pressure and startup characteristics of the CBD were investigated according to various geometries of the center body structure by a cold gas flow test. The test results show that the startup pressure is lowest when the center body contraction angle is approximately $15^{\circ}$. The startup characteristic of the CBDs significantly improves when the diffuser inlet length ($L_d/D_d$) is decreasing and the divergence length ($L_s$) is increasing. Additionally, it is possible to simulate various high altitude, low pressure conditions for various rocket engines that have different nozzle expansion ratios by adjusting the center body's position inside the diffuser.

Steam ejector is a equipment which compresses the gases to desired discharge pressure. It is widely used for the evacuation systems because of its high working confidence. And recently it is used as the thermo-compressors in the various energy saving systems. Steam ejector is constructed of three basic parts; a suction chamber, a motive nozzle and a diffuser. The high velocity stream jet of steam emitted by the motive nozzle creats suction chamber, which draws the low pressure gases. The diffuser converts the kinetic energy of high velocity flow to pressure energy. It is not easy to determine the dimensions of a steam ejector met to the desired design condition, because that the expected suction rates must be obtained by reapeating the complicate calculation. And also such a calculation is concomitant with geometrical analysis for suction part and diffuser based on the stability of steam flow. Therefore, it is considered that the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of steam ejector is a powerful design method. In this paper, computer program for steam ejector design is developed based on the theoretical research and the previous experimental results. And the determinating method of diffuser inlet angle and the velocity development profile of suction gas along to the diffuser are suggested. The validity of the development profile of suction gas along to the diffuser are suggested. The validity of the developed computer results with other's for the practical design calculation of a manufactured steam ejector.

Numerical simulations of n-heptane spray characteristics in a constant volume combustion chamber under diesel engine like conditions with increasing ambient gas density ($14.8-142kg/m^3$) and ambient temperature (800-1000 K) respectively were performed to understand the non-vaporizing and vaporizing spray behavior. The effect of fuel temperature (ranging 273-313 K) on spray characteristics was also simulated. In this simulation, spray modeling was implemented into ANSYS FORTE where the initial spray conditions at the nozzle exit and droplet breakups were determined through nozzle flow model and Kelvin-Helmholtz/Rayleigh-Taylor (KH-RT) model. Simulation results were compared with experimentally obtained spray tip penetration result to examine the accuracy. In case of non-vaporizing condition, simulation results show that with an increment of the magnitude of ambient gas density and pressure, the vapor penetration length, liquid penetration length and droplet mass decreases. On the other hand vapor penetration, liquid penetration and droplet mass increases with the increase of ambient temperature at the vaporizing condition. In case of lower injection pressure, vapor tip penetration and droplet mass are increased with a reduction in fuel temperature under the low ambient temperature and pressure.
