In coflow jets with relatively large size nozzle and low fuel jet velocity, the buoyancy effect arises from the density difference between fuel and air streams. The present study investigated the behavior of such a buoyant cold Jet both numerically and experimentally, especially when the fuel stream has higher density than air. It has been demonstrated that the cold jet has a circular cone shape since upwardly injected fuel jet decelerates and forms a stagnation region, when the fuel jet was composed of propane highly diluted with nitrogen. When the fuel was moderately diluted, numerical results showed the Kelvin-Helmholtz type instability along the mixing layer of the jet. The stagnation height increases nonlihearly with fuel jet velocity with the power of approximately 1.64.

It is important to develop new effective technologies for increasing the interruption capacity and reducing the size of a GCB (Gas Circuit Breaker). It is not easy to test the real GCB model in practice as in theory. Therefore, a simulation tool based on a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) algorithm has been developed to facilitate an optimization of the interrupter. But the choice of grid is not at all trivial in the complicated geometries like a GCB. In this paper, we have applied a CFD-CAD integration using Cartesian cut-cell method, which is one of the grid generation techniques for dealing with complex and multi-component geometries.

We developed a computer program to simulate the flow field in the presence of electro-magnetic fields. The steady, two-dimensional conservation equations for mass and momentum were solved simultaneously with Maxwell equations for electro-magnetic fields. Using this program, a numerical analysis was carried out to analyze the fluid flow in the continuous casting mold with electromagnetic brake. The effects of magnetic fields size, nozzle angle and EMBR yoke position on the flow fields in the continuous casting were investigated in the present study. The flow fields with EMBR were compared with those without EMBR. We also investigated the distribution of tracer concentration as a function of time in order to calculate their residence time in the mold with EMBR. By controlling the flow fields properly using EMBR, we can prevent the direct flow impaction on the wall which can give a damage on the mold surface and reduce surface defects of stainless steel sheet products.

Spray characteristics of the APU simplex fuel nozzle are investigated. Four flight conditions such as sea level idle, sea level max power, 20,000 feet idle, 20,000 feet max power are used as spray experimental conditions. Spray visualization was performed by using ND-YAG laser. Droplet size and velocity were measured by using PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. From the test result, SMD is 100 ${\mu}$m�� and velocity is 10 m/s at 20,000 ft idle condition. In this condition, flame unstability could be occurred due to the higher drop diameter. Therefore it is necessary to decrease the droplet diameter in the high altitude condition.

This paper proposes a new type of piezoactuator-driven valve system. The piezoceramic actuator bonded to both sides of a flexible beam surface makes a movement required to control the pressure at the flapper-nozzle of a pneumatic system. After establishing a dynamic model, an appropriate size of the valve system is designed and manufactured. Subsequently, a sliding mode controller which is known to be robust to uncertainties such as disturbance is formulated in order to achieve accurate regulating and tracking control of the desired pressure. The controller is experimentally realized and control performances for various pressure trajectories are presented in time domain. The control bandwidth of the valve system which directly represents the fastness is also evaluated in the frequency domain.

The spray characteristics of the high speed rotating fuel injection system were studied. The five variants of rotating fuel nozzle were used by spray test. The diameter of single column injection orifices are varied from 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm. We constructed high speed rotating test rig and measured droplet size by PDPA (Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. Also spray was visualized by using high speed camera. In the test results, we could understand that length of liquid column from the injection orifice is mainly controlled by the rotational speeds. SMD is decreased with increasing injection orifice diameter and rotational speeds. Furthermore, from the comparison to the theoritical calculation, we confirmed that SMD is influenced by the liquid film thickness which is formed inner surface of injection orifice.

This study deals with high power Nd:YAG laser welding of thin steels for small pressure vessels. Full penetration welding at the overlap joint was performed so as to assure sufficient weld strength. Results showed that mid-depth weld size reduced drastically with increasing the travel speed. Position of focus had little effect on the bead formation even though short focal system was used. However, the shape factor and the bead width had closely related with the position of focus. Based on the microstructural inspection, acceptable weld was obtained when the overlap clearance was controlled up to 20% of the base metal thickness. In the case that the joint contained more clearance than the critical value, both the tensile shear strength and the tear strength were reduced. Results also demonstrated that shielding gases were proved to play a key role as far as the bead formation characteristics was taken into consideration. Blowing dry air through 5mm in diameter nozzle produced narrower bead cross-section than that of argon or nitrogen shielding.

This research is on a laser soldering using the micro solder-balls used in flip chip packaging process. A laser source used in laser soldering is Nd:YAG laser(250W and 60W). Solder-balls of 100, 300, $500{\mu}m$ size are used in experiments. The laser head to deliver a laser beam and the nozzle to transfer solder-balls are manufactured to bump solder-balls. After soldering solder-balls the shear test is carried out to determine the wetting at the interface between the surface and a solder-balls With the results of solder bumping tests a laminated molding is accomplished for manufacturing the three dimensional molding.

Bio-Aerosol Concentrator Inlets were made to collect particles of which size was $2\mu\textrm{m}$ as aerodynamic diameter or larger. The Concentrator Inlets were designed by using virtual impactors, because the virtual impactors are known for high efficiency. In a virtual impactor, the intake air is typically divided into two streams with the major and the minor flow. In this work, several types of the acceleration nozzles and collection probes were designed. Subsequently, the results were evaluated experimentally. It was found that if controled properly, the velocity can improve substantially the aerosol concentration performance. The diameter of acceleration nozzle and type of collection probe were varied to obtain the optimum design. Subsequently, the different designs were compared respectively and the best design among them was identified. It is expected that this new finding can help improve design of future Aerosol Concentrator for high concentration rate.

This work was performed to investigate the distribution of the fuel droplet size around the bluff-body and the combustion characteristics. The geometry of the bluff-body influenced the spray shape and the combustion characteristics. Diameters of the bluff-body in this experiment are 6, 8, and 10 mm and the impingement $angles({\theta})\;are\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ},\;and\;90^{\circ}$. The measurement points were at the distances of 20 and 30 mm axially from the nozzle. The SMD and Rosin-Rammler distribution was acquired by image processing technique (PMAS), and the mean temperatures were measured by thermocouple. The results obtained are as follows; In the condition of ${\theta}=60^{\circ}$, the values of SMD are not greatly varied compared to the other conditions. As the impingement angle of bluff-body was increased, the high temperature region was wider along radial direction. When the air-fuel ratio was increased, the CO concentration was decreased.
