The analysis has been performed on the blockage effect at the propellant flow passage in a liquid rocket engine. This simulates an example of emergency situation where flow passage is partially blocked. The analysis method has been validated by predicting the pump head and flow rate within 1% precision against the measured data of turbopump-gas generator coupled test. When the oxidizer passage is reduced it is predicted that the mixture ratio decreases, the oxidizer pump head increases and the gas generator pressure increases. When the fuel passage is reduced it is predicted that the mixture ratio increases, fuel flow rate decreases and the fuel pump head increases.

Many experimental results have revealed that the development of cavitaition during tensile deformation is limited by the Presence of liquid phases. However, the presence of liquid phases does not always lead to high-strain-rate superplasticity, because too much liquid causes intergranular decohesion at grain boundaries/interfaces in metal-matrix composites. Thus, it is important to examine the nature of interfaces of superplastic composites in order to understand the origin of superplastic flow related to liquid grain boundaries during high-strain-rate superplastic deformation. This study shows that a large elongation is obtained at the temperature, that is close to the onset temperature for partial melting in the superplastic composites, but the elongation significantly decreases at slightly higher temperatures, which are close to the end temperature fur partial melting. This indicates that there is an optimum amount of the liquid phase for obtaining high-strain-rate superplasticity in these materials.

For application of a yellow pigment as food additives, stability of a water-soluble yellow pigment from Bacillus sp. PY123 was investigated. The yellow pigment from Bacillus sp. PY123 was purified with pH treatment, activated carbon and silica gel column chromatography. The partial purified yellow pigment appeared only one spot on silica gel TLC after 12 evaporation and under irradiation of UV 253nm at dark room. Rf value of the pigment was measured at 0.04 and 0.12 with development of a solvent mixture (Butanol : Acetic acid : water = 4 :1:5) and a solvent mixture (Isopropanol : Ammonia : Water = 9 :1: 2), respectively, The partial purified pigment appeared a white fluorescence under UV365nm irradiation. The partial purified yellow pigment had a main peak and a minor peak on HPLC using 20mM phosphate buffer(pH 7.0) at 1ml/min flow rate. The partial purified pigment was stable at heat treatment, acidic pH, oxide-reductants and surfactants.

In this study, for the flow of carbon dioxide/hydrogen mixture through a tubular type Pd-Ag membrane, hydrogen partial pressure, velocity profile, and concentration profile were simulated as a function of inlet flow rate using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. The simulation results indicated that the mole fraction of carbon dioxide increased slowly in the longitudinal direction as the flow rate increased. In addition, the effects of inlet flow rate and the length of membrane on hydrogen recovery were investigated. At lower flow rate and for longer membrane, the hydrogen recovery was larger.

The effects of the simultaneous variations of the ratio of feed gases(H2/N2 Flow ratio), feed gas flow rate (H2/N2, total-flow rate) and partial pressures of TiCl4 (PTiCl41) as well as deposition time and cobalt content of the substrate on the deposition rate of the TiN Coated Cemented Tungsten Carbide Tools were investigated. Deposition was carried out in the temperature range of 930$^{\circ}C$-1080$^{\circ}C$ and an activation energy of 46.5 Kcal/mole can be calculated. Transverse rupture strength was noticeably reduced by the TiN coating on the virgin surfa-ce of Cemented Tungsten Carbide, the extent of which was decreased according to the coa-ting thickness. Microhardness value observed on the work was in the range of 1700∼2000kg/mm, which were in well agreement with the value of bult TiN. The wear resistance of TiN layers was performed by turning test and it was observed that crater and flank resistance remarkably enhanced by TiN coating.

The boundary layer of a two-dimensional forced convective flow along a persistent moving horizontal needle in an electrically conducting magnetohydrodynamic dissipative nanofluid was numerically investigated. The energy equation was constructed with Joule heating, viscous dissipation, uneven heat source/sink, and thermal radiation effects. We analyzed the boundary layer behavior of a continuously moving needle in Blasius (moving fluid) and Sakiadis (quiescent fluid) flows. We considered Cu nanoparticles embedded in methanol. The reduced system of governing Partial differential equations (PDEs) was solved by employing the Runge-Kutta-based shooting process. Computational outcomes of the rate of heat transfer and friction factors were tabulated and discussed. Velocity and temperature descriptions were examined with the assistance of graphical illustrations. Increasing the needle size did not have a significant influence on the Blasius flow. The heat transfer rate in the Sakiadis flow was high compared with that in the Blasius flow.

Chemical vapor deposition of $SnO_2$ on Pyrex glass substrate has been investigated using $SnCl_4$ and Oxygen at relatively low temperatures(300-500$^{\circ}C$). The critical flow rate, which delineated the surface reaction controlled region from the mass transfer controlled region, was increased with deposition temperature. The apparent activation energy obtained in surface reaction controlled region was about 6Kcal/mole. The results show that deposition rate, electrical conductivity and transmittance were affected mainly by partial pressure of $SnCl_4$, but little by partial pressure f oxygen. The % transmission of 5000A-thick $SnO_2$ film was about 90% in visible spectrum region and sheet resistance was varied in 0.1-10${\Omega}$ per square shaped portion of the outer surface of the oxide.

The static and dynamic behaviour of VGT and EGR systems has a significant impact on overall engine performance, fuel economy and exhaust emissions. This is because they define the state and composition of the air charge entering the engine. This work focused on the effect of the aperture ratio of VGT and EGR on the emission and flow characteristics under partial loads conditions. The investigation carried out using 2 liter PCCI 4 cylinder diesel engine with VGT and EGR. The result of this study shows that smoke increases with increasing EGR rate and NOx decreases with increasing EGR rate. It was also found that the residual gas contents greatly impact on soot emission under partial load condition. Finally, it can be concluded that VGT and EGR aperture ratio can greatly impact not only on soot and NOx but also air charging.

Partial quenching structure of turbulent diffusion flames in a turbulent mixing layer is investigated by the method of flame hole dynamics in order to develop a prediction model for turbulent flame lift off. The essence of flame hole dynamics is derivation of the random walk mapping, from the flame-edge theory, which governs expansion or contraction of flame holes initially created by local quenching events. The numerical simulation for flame hole dynamics is carried out in two stages. First, a direct numerical simulation is performed for constant-density fuel-air channel mixing layer to obtain the turbulent flow and mixing fields, from which a time series of two dimensional scalar dissipation rate array is extracted at a fixed virtual flame surface horizontally extending from the end of split plate to the downstream. Then, the Lagrangian simulation of the flame hole random walk mapping projected to the scalar dissipation rate array yields temporally evolving turbulent extinction process and its statistics on partial quenching characteristics. The statistical results exhibit that the chance of partial quenching is strongly influenced by the crossover scalar dissipation rate while almost unaffected by the iteration number of the mapping that can be regarded as a flame-edge speed.

The fretting wear behavior of the contact between Zircaloy-4 tube and Inconel 600, which are used as the fuel rod cladding and grid, respectively, in PWR nuclear power plants was investigated in air. In the study, number of cycles, slip amplitude and normal load were selected as the main factors of fretting wear. The results indicated that wear increased with load, slip amplitude and number of cycles but was affected mainly by the slip amplitude. SEM micrographs revealed the characteristics of fretting wear features on the surface of the specimens such as stick, partial slip and gross slip which depended on the slip amplitude. It was found that fretting wear was caused by the crack generation along the stick-slip boundaries due to the accumulation of plastic flow at small slip amplitudes and by abrasive wear in the entire contact area at high slip amplitudes.
