Since axial flux motor has an advantage over more conventional radial flux type motor such as high power density, it can be used as a power train for hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle. Also operating range can be extended and efficiency can be improved by changing air gap. Optimal operating air gap is estimated based on the measured efficiency at different air gap. Motor model is developed based on estimated optimal air gap and efficiency. Motor/controller performance is analyzed through simulation. Possible application area of axial flux motor was explored through simulation.

The Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) program, being established in China, is an optimal way for the sustainable utilization of the medicinal plant and animal resources. Most frequently used Chinese materia medica will be mainly produced from the GAP bases in the future. To assure the successful operation of GAP program, standard operating procedure (SOP) should be implemented for specific plants or animals. Both GAP and SOP include the requirements in many aspects from the ecological environment of cultivation place, germplasm and varieties, seedling and transplant, fertilization, irrigation, and field care, to harvest and process, package, transport and storage. As a complex system, GAP demands strong commitment from the pharmaceutical industry, local administrative involvement, long term R&D support, and years of time of development before a satisfactory result can be achieved.

The effects of operating temperature and electrode gap distance on electricity generation were investigated in two-chamber type MFCs. Voltages across the external resistor $(100\;{\Omega})$ were enhanced approximately 1.4 times by the increase of operating temperature from $30^{\circ}C$ to $34^{\circ}C$. The open circuit voltages (OCVs) were increased by the increase of temperature and the maximum power of MFC was obtained at higher current condition by increasing temperature and reducing electrode gap distance. The maximum power densities were enhanced from 1.9 to 2.4 times according to the experimented electrode gap distances by increasing temperature of $4^{\circ}C$. The electricity generation was increased with the decrease of electrode gap distance. The effects of operating temperature and electrode gap distance were closely connected with the internal resistance of MFC system. That is, the increase of temperature and decrease of electrode gap distance reduced the internal resistance of MFC, resulting in the enhancement of electricity generation of MFC.

The gap conductance between the fuel and the sheath depends strongly on the gap width and has a significant influence on the amount of initial stored energy. The modified Ross and Stoute gap conductance model in ELESTRES is based on a simplified thermal deformation model for steady-state fuel temperature calculations. A review on a series of experiments reveals that fuel pellets crack relocate, and are eccentrically positioned within the sheath rather than solid concentric cylinders. In this paper, the hue recently-proposed gap conductance models (offset gap model and relocated gap model) are described and are applied to calculate the fuel-sheath gap conductances under experimental conditions and normal operating conditions in CANDU reactors. The good agreement between the experimentally-inferred and calculated gap conductance values demonstrates that the modified Ross and Stoute model was implemented correctly in ELESTRES. The predictions of the modified Ross and Stoute model provide conservative values for gap heat transfer and fuel surface temperature compared to the offset gap and relocated gap models for a limiting power envelope.

This paper describes a basic structure, analysis of characteristics and test method for high speed axial-gap BLDC motor. The newly designed axial-gap BLDC motor has 2-stator disks with 3-rotor disks and is easy to increase power capacity by increasing the numbers of stator/rotor disks. For high speed operating, the rotor is composed of light and strong strength material and has several separated magnets to reduce stress concentraction by centrifugal force.

In order to investigate the optimum conditions for the effective ozone formation in a dielectric barrier discharge, measurements of ozone concentration were carried out for various conditions such as the gap length, the dielectric material and the operating gas. It was found that the optimum discharge conditions differed exceedingly in the types of operating gases and dielectric materials. In dry air, dielectric material with low dielectric constant and thermal conductivity, which might contribute to the restriction of the gas temperature rise in the discharge region, proved effective in obtaining both high ozone yield and concentration. The optimum gap length was considered to be in the range of 600-800 mm. In oxygen, using a quartz glass disk as a dielectric material, the required condition to obtain the high ozone yield and concentration was expanded.

The noncontacting groove end face seal is one of various approaches to sealing gases with a single seal. Gas pumped into groove maintains operating gap and lubricates between primary ring and mating ring. So it removes heat and decreases face wear. In this paper, K-type and T-type grooved seals have been analyzed numerically using the finite element method. It explains the effects of groove shapes in gas seals along rotating speeds with a temperature gradient, face distortion, stress and so on. The calculated FEM results show the operating gap and rotating speed are strongly related to the leakages of a gas seal and that T-type groove seal shows a good thermal performance compared to K-type groove seal.

In metal cutting, the machining accuracy is more affected by thermal errors than by geometric errors. This paper models of the thermal errors for error analysis and develops on-the-machine measurement system by which the volumetric error are measured and compensated. The thermal error is modeled by means of angularity errors of a column and thermal drift error of the spindel unit which are measured by the touch probe unit with a star type styluses, a designed spherical ball arti-fact, and five gap sensors. In order to analyze the thermal characteristics under several operating conditions, experiments performed with the touch probe unit and five gap sensors on the vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Heat distortion of the non-contacting mechanical face seal is affected by friction heat between primary seal and seal sheet. The fluid or gas in mechanical face seal maintains operating gap, cooling friction heat and lubricates at the face of seal. So we designed face of seal for inclined face. inclined face of seal improves fluid or gas flow at the face of seal and it increases circumferential velocity at outer radius of the seal so temperature of the seal is decreased by low heat transfer coefficient at there. In this paper, inclined face seal are analysed numerically using finite element method for proof improve inclined face seal performance. Angle of the incline face used for FEA is from 50$^{\circ}$to 90$^{\circ}$and for explaining the effects of inclined face in seal, we get temperature, face distortion, and stress in the seal with variable operating gap and rotating speeds. Result of analysis shows that angle of the incline face is 60$^{\circ}$come to good thermal distortion characteristics.

A blue light emitting device has been successfully fabricated using a polymer with regulated conjugation length containing trimethylsilyl substituted phenylenevinylene units. Electroluminescence from the device has an emission maximum at 470 nm. The device shows typical diode characteristics with operating voltage of 20 V and the light becomes visible at a current density of less than $0.5;mA/cm^2$. The electroluminescence spectrum is virtually identical with the photoluminescence spectrum, indicating that the radiation mechanisms are the same for both. A light emitting device using the blend of a large band gap polymer and a small band gap polymer was also fabricated. Light emission from the small band gap polymer shows much improved quantum efficiency, but there is no light emission from the large band gap polymer. Quantum efficiency of the blend increases up to about two orders of magnitude greater than that of the small band gap polymer with increasing proportion of the large band gap polymer. The improvement in quantum efficiency is interpreted in terms of exciton transfer and the hole blocking behaviour of the large band gap polymer. Finally, we have fabricated a patterned flexible light emitting device using the high quantum efficiency polymer blend system.
