Small-scale shear flows are ubiquitous in the universe, and astrophysical plasmas are often magnetized. We study the thermal condensation instability in magnetized plasmas with shear flows in relation to filamentary structure formation in cool structures in the universe, representatively solar prominences and supernova remnants. A linear stability analysis is extensively performed in the framework of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with radiative cooling, plasma heating and anisotropic thermal conduction to find the eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions for the unstable modes. For a shear velocity less than the Alfven velocity of the background plasma, the eigenvalue with the maximum growth rate is found to correspond to a thermal condensation mode, for which the density and temperature variations are anti-phased (of opposite signs). Only when the shear velocity in the k-direction is near zero, the eigenfunctions for the condensation mode are of smooth sinusoidal forms. Otherwise each eigenfunction for density and temperature is singular and of a discrete form like delta functions. Our results indicate that any non-uniform velocity field with a magnitude larger than a millionth of the Alfven velocity can generate discrete eigenfunctions of the condensation mode. We therefore suggest that condensation at discrete layers or threads should be quite a natural and universal process whenever a thermal instability arises in magnetized plasmas.

In this paper, the governing equation and the boundary conditions of deploying rods are derived by using Hamilton's principle. The Galerkin method using the comparison function of the instantaneous natural modes is adopted by which the governing equation is discretized. Based on the discretized equations, the time integration analysis is performed and the longitudinal vibrations for the deploying and the retrieving velocity are analyzed.

Ammonia is an inorganic compound that may cause severe odor problem. In this study the effectiveness of applying natural neutralizer to destroy and remove the odor-causing compound from gas streams was studied. Experimental result evaluated with a bench-scale apparatus via the neutralization of gas phase. This indicates that the natural neutralization depends on the gas concentration, gas residence time, temperature and pH. Removal efficiency of ammonia from gas stream was achieved by 95% using theconvection in the packed bed. This study proved the chemical neutralization technology was effective for controlling inorganic odor-causing compound.

The presenet research attempts to examine the combustion characteristics and the structure of the flame in turbulent premixed flames and thus enhance the combustion performance that leads to the design of the effective combustion system (untilizing LNG). Following experimental investigations for several stabilized premixed flames were attempted to identify the interactive mechanism between flame structures and flow fields; Visualization by Schlieren method, measurement of flow velocity by LDV, detection of ion current by ion probe, measurement of fluctuating temperature by thermocouple having compensation circuit, average values with respect to time of fluctuating amount for flow velocity, temperature, ion current, etc., variable RMS values, PDFs, autocorrelation, crosscorrelation, spatial macroscale, power spectra, and velocity scale. Continuing the authors published studies whose flame dominated by coherent structures and the characteristics of combustion reaction for irregular three dimensional flame and stabilized flame by step were investigated with obtained experimental quantities. Results of this research are following : The most turbulent flames support the structure of a Wrinkled laminar flame or laminar flamelets. It also observed that combustion reaction is related to small tubulence microscales of the turbulent flow fields closly.

In this study, Development of 300,000kcal/hr high velocity Injection burner with fuel multi-stage was performed using experiments. The characteristics of NOx emission in multi fuel/air staged combustor have been experimentally studied. The design concept of multi fuel/air staged combustor is creation of two separate flame, a primary flame is largest access air combustion and the secondary flame is complete combustion zone, where most of fuel bums. Experiments were performed on an industrial scale in a laboratory furnace and Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) was used as primary and secondary fuels. Comparison of outlet NOx and outlet Temperature under various air rate and primary/ secondary fuel ratio was performed. The test demonstrated that NOx emission con be reduced by 70% in accordance with operating conditions.

In this paper the dynamic stiffness matrix method was used for the free vibration analysis of axially moving micro beam with constant velocity. The extended Hamilton's principle was employed to derive the governing differential equation of the problem using the modified couple stress theory. The dynamic stiffness matrix of the moving micro beam was evaluated using appropriate expressions of the shear force and bending moment according to the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The effects of the beam size and axial velocity on the dynamic characteristic of the moving beam were investigated. The natural frequencies and critical velocity of the axially moving micro beam were also computed for two different end conditions.

Ultrasonic measurements are made in egg white to study the properties of the solution of the natural protein. The high-Q ultrasonic resonator method is used to get the ultrasonic absorption spectra over the range 0.2-10 ㎒ at 20℃. It is proportional to the 1.25th power of the frequency. The gelation process caused by heat is studied from the change in the velocity and the absorption. at 3 ㎒ using the pulse echo overlap technique over the range of 10-80℃. The absorption decreases with increasing temperature up to 60℃ where it turns up sharply and rapidly increases thereafter. The strong absorption in the gel region is described by the interaction between the solution and the network structure made of protein. Very slow variation in time elapse is observed after the temperature is quickly raised. It would be a real-time observation of the network building process and the characteristic time for the process is shown to be 400 min. A hysteresis phenomenon with respect to the temperature is observed. This phenomenon is associated with the memorizing effect of the network structure of protein of the gel.

Based on the data interpretation on an artificial marsh built in Chun-cheon Lake, the study analyzed flow characteristics and found that flow was unstable due to sediment of natural river but the effect of artificial marsh was similar with that of river improvement works. Flow velocity in the section of artificial marsh was found to be 1m/sec. Therefore flow velocity was stable, which could contribute to improving water quality. A flow velocity as well as stream vector was improved.

An experimental work to predict critical flow velocity to give whirling instability on staggered array tube banks model which is located in wind tunnel is presented. The critical flow velocity was obtained by measuring flow induced tube vibration on three tube array models having different pitch to diameter ratio as changing damping ratio and natural frequency of tube model. The obtained experimental results are directly compared with the numbers of other investigators and partly proved the truth of Blevin's new idea to predict critical flow velocity.

Time-dependent frequency and energy of free vibration of the Spagetti problem, that is the axially moving continuum with time-varying length, are investigated. Exact expressions for the natural frequency and time-varying vibration energy are derived by dealing with traveling waves. When the string length is increased, the vibration period increases, but the free vibration energy varies as a function of both translating velocity and boundary velocity of the continuum. However, when the string undergoes retraction, the vibration energy increases with time, String tension together with non-zero instantaneous velocity at the moving boundary results in energy variation.
