Impact ionization model in GaAs has been presented by modified keldysh formula with two sets of power exponent of 7.8 and 5.6 in study. Impact ionization rate is derived from fermil's golden rule and ful lenergy band stucture based on empirical pseudopotential method. Impact ionization rates show anisotropic property in low energy region (<3eV), but isotropic in high energy region (3>eV). Full band monte calo simulator is coded for investigating the validity of the GaAs impact ionization model, and validity is checked by comparing impact ionization coefficients with experimental values and ones in anisotropic model. Valley transitions to energy alteration are explained by investigating electron motion in brillouin zone for full band model to electric field variation.

In the present study, CFD methods are applied in the design procedure of rotor blades in a axial-flow fan and the aerodynamic performances are predicted. The blade profiles initially determined by the free vortex method and empirical formula are modified to match the target value of the rotor work load through the analysis of 3D Navier-Stokes solver. The corrected shapes of the rotor blade showed the increase of the efficiency and the pressure simultaneously.

A design modification was made on the 9-th stage wheel dovetail of a high-intermodiate pressure (HIP) turbine rotor for a fossil power plant that necessitates the use of new long-shank buckets for the row. A bucket vibration test is necessary to verify that the new 9-th stage buckets have adequate frequency margin from a nozzle passing frequency when running at speed. A finite element analysis (FEA) has been performed using a commercial S/W to approximately estimate bucket natural frequencies, and thus to help the vibration test. A row of the new buckets has been assembled on the HIP rotor for the vibration tests using dynamic balancing facilities. The tests have been done during deceleration run with air excitation. The test results are compared with the calculation using our empirical formula, and show that the modified design meets the frequency-margin requirements.

This study investigates the behavior of a plunging wave and its associated runup and overtopping through velocity measurements and suggests an empirical formula for overtopping velocities on a structure. The plunging wave breaking in front of the structure generates very bubbly flow fields. For measurements of the two phase flow field of the breaking wave, particle image velocimetry and a modified optical method were employed. The obtained velocity fields were discussed in respect of the process of wave impinging, runup and overtopping. The overtopping velocity distribution is found to have a nonlinear profile showing a maximum magnitude at its front part. The relationship of self-similarity among dimensionless parameters is observed and used to obtain the regression formula to depict the overtopping velocity.

A design modification was made on the 9-th stage wheel dovetail of a high-intermediate pressure (HIP) turbine rotor for a fossil power plant that necessitates the use of new long-shank buckets for the row.

In the present study, an effort was made to numerically investigate rectangular cavity aeroacoustics with and without doors. The simulation was performed on an open cavity with an aspect ratio of 5:1:1 at Mach 0.85 using the delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) approach based on the Spalart-Allmaras model. Two cavity configurations, a clean cavity and a cavity with doors, were modeled. The results obtained from the clean cavity were compared with the experimental sound pressure levels (SPL) and the root mean square for the pressures applied. Furthermore, comparisons of frequencies were made using a modified semi-empirical Rossiter formula. The simulation using DDES precisely predicted the pressure fluctuation and the results matched the experiment quite well. The SPLs at the rear of the cavity were much higher than those in the front due to the instability of the shear layer impinging on the rear wall. Comparisons of DDES for the clean cavity and the doors-on cavity revealed that the SPLs inside the cavity as well as the magnitude of tones are amplified by the side doors. The main focus of this investigation was to obtain a better understanding of the open cavity acoustic resonance phenomenon and investigate the effects of cavity doors on the SPL.

In the current study, a method for concrete compressive strength prediction (based on cement strength class), incorporated in a software package developed by the authors for the estimation of concrete service life under harmful environments, is presented and validated. Prediction of concrete compressive strength, prior to real experimentation, can be a very useful tool for a first mix screening. Given the fact that lower limitations in strength have been set in standards, to attain a minimum of service life, a strength approach is a necessity. Furthermore, considering the number of theoretical attempts on strength predictions so far, it can be seen that although they lack widespread accepted validity, certain empirical expressions are still widely used. The method elaborated in this study, it offers a simple and accurate, compressive strength estimation, in very good agreement with experimental results. A modified version of the Feret's formula is used, since it contains only one adjustable parameter, predicted by knowing the cement strength class. The approach presented in this study can be applied on any cement type, including active additions (fly ash, silica fume) and age.

Phonon scattering and impact ionization models have been presented to analyze hot carrier transport in high energy region, using full band model and Fermi's golden rule. We have investigated temperature dependent properties for impact ionization process of Si using realistic energy band structures at 77K and look. The realistic full band model, obtained from the empirical pseudopotential method with local from factors, is used to calculate scattering rate. The accurate calculation of impact ionization rate requires the use of a wavevector- and frequency-dependent dielectric function ξ ( q,$\omega$). The empirical phonon scattering rate P$\sub$ph/, is given by deriving from linear function for P$\sub$ph/ versus D(E) since the phonon scattering rate is linearly depended on density of states D(E). Impact ionization rate p,, is calculated from the first principle's theory. and fitted by modified Keldysh formula having power of above 2.

The heat transfer coefficient on the wall, which is used as a boundary condition in the thermal analysis of general contract-divergent supersonic nozzles, affects the thermal analysis accuracy of the entire nozzle. Accordingly, many methods of deriving a heat transfer coefficient have been proposed. In this study, the accuracy of each method was compared. For this purpose, the heat transfer coefficients were calculated through theoretical-based analogy methods, semi-empirical equations, and CFD simulations for the previously performed heat transfer experiment with an isothermal wall and compared with the experimental results. The results show that the Prandtl-Taylor analogy methods and the CFD results with the k-ω SST turbulence model were in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, the Modified Bartz empirical formula showed an overall over-prediction tendency.

Lab-scale experiments have been carried out to investigate ammonia stripping with a modified spray tower for removing ammonia nitrogen from swine wastewater. The operating conditions such as initial pH, temperature, air flow, hole size of distributor determining the diameter of water drops, and influent solids concentration were closely examined focusing on removal efficiency of ammonia. As a result of the experiment, in order to achieve high rate of ammonia removal by the air stripping system, the air flow rate must be supplied at high rate with sufficiently high initial pH, temperature. The optimum operating condition to meet the residual ammonia concentration of 300 mg/L was the initial pH of 11.0 at $35^{\circ}C$ with the air flow rate of 20 L/min. It also showed that the smaller hole size is, the higher removal rate of ammonia is expected. However, when used a small sized distributor (2 mm), the flooding problem at the upper column occurred due to clogging of the hole. With regard to the influent solids concentration, it was showed that the lower concentration of solids, the higher removal rate of ammonia. The removal of particulate materials in influent led to improve the removal efficiency of ammonia, rather than to control the operating condition including initial pH, temperature, and air flow. The empirical correlation between KLa and operating parameters would be driven as, $K_{La}=(0.0003T-0.0047){\cdot}G^{0.3926}{\cdot}L^{-0.5169}{\cdot}C^{-0. 1849}$. The calculated $K_{La}$ from proposed formula can be used effectively to estimate the optimum reaction time and to calculate the volume of modified spray tower system.
