A numerical study is carried out to investigate combustion phenomena in a model SCRamjet engine, which has been experimentally studied at the Australian National University using a T3 free-piston shock tunnel. The Mach number is 3.8, the static pressure 110kPa and the static temperature 1100K in the main air flow. The fuel is hydrogen, which is injected in the cavity. Equivalence ratio is set to either 0.25 or 0.5 to access its effect on the fuel-air mixing combustion phenomena. The results show that the cavity generates several recirculation zones, which increase the fuel-air mixing. Self ignition occurs near the point of fuel injection. The flame is anchored by the cavity and generates the precombustion shock on the step. For a high equivalence ratio, the recirculation zones are bigger and the flame is present throughout the combustor.

For the evaluation of operability of MOV(Motor Operated Valve), the precision prediction of thrust/torque acting on the valve is important. In this paper, the analytical prediction method of thrust/torque was proposed. The design basis stem thrust calculation typically considers the followings: Packing thrust, Stem rejection load, design basis differential pressure load. In general, test results show that temperature, pressure, fluid type, and differential pressure, independently and combination, all have an effect on the friction factor. The prediction results of thrust/torque are well agrement with dynamic test results.

Due to the distinct advantages of comfort, drive ability and fuel economy standard, the variable displacement swash plate type compressor which can control the compressor displacement by increasing or reducing the swash plate angle has been developed for automotive air-conditioning system. That can be obtained constant temperature of car room on the variation cooling capacities or engine speeds. This paper was carried out the analysis of swash plate behavior to obtain the forces and moments applied to the swash plate and to get the variable controlability on the variation of compressor speeds and swash plate chamber pressures. The results of simuation agree very well with the experimental data.

In this paper, the modeling and analysis of dynamic characteristics has been carried out for friction clutches and brakes in an automatic transmission. From the operating oil pressure generated by the valve-body, time delay by check valve and the movement of piston has been examined. Also torque capacity and torque transferred at the clutch is studied. Heat capacity and temperature distribution at the reaction plate of clutch are codeled by time-dependent, nonhomogeneous partial differential equation, and brake torque, brake time, and the amount of heat generated are investigated. It is found that the time delay at the check valve is very short but dominant at the spool.

It has been recognized that alternative fuels such as Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) show less polluting combustion characteristics than diesel fuel. Furthermore, engine performance is expected to be nearly equal to that of the diesel engine if direct-injection stratified-charge combustion of the LPG can be adopted in the spark-ignition engine. However, spray characteristics of LPG are quite different from those of diesel fuel. understanding the spray characteristics of LPG and evaporating processes are very important for developing efficient and low emission LPG engines optimized in fuel injection control and combustion processes. In this study, the LPG spray characteristics and evaporating processes were investigated using the Schlieren and Mie scattering optical system and single-hole injectors in a constant volume chamber. The results show that the mixture moves along the impingement wall that reproduced the piston bowl and reaches in ignition spark plug. LPG spray receives more influence of ambient pressure and temperature significantly than that of n-dodecane spray.

Aluminum alloy permanent mold castings often exhibit in as-cast or T5-heat treated state an inverse distribution of hardness, i.e. thinner sections have lower hardness than thicker sections. This phenomina is explained by measuring the cooling curves in a test casting in an Aluminum piston alloy (AC8A or A332). Thinner sections solidify faster but later cooles down more slowly than thicker sections in temperature range where coarse precipitation of supersaturated elements can take place. The precipitation rate of $Mg_2Si$ phase in A332 alloy seems to be maximum at around $490^{\circ}C$.

This paper presents manufacturing process and test results in the optimum pressure and operating frequency for the free piston free displacer(FPFD) Stirling cryocooler designed and manufactured by Korea Institute of Machinery &Materials (KIMM). FPFD Stirling cryocooler is currently under development uses opposed linear motors to drive opposed pistons . The performance of FPFD Stirling cryocooler is evaluated as a function fo charging pressure and operating frequency. In general as the operating frequency of the compressor is increaed but natural frequency of the displacer is almost constant. The prototype has achieved no load temperature of 49K and cooling capacity of 0.5W at 7.2K.

An estimation technique called the Extended Kalman filter is used to estimate viscous friction, spring initial contraction, and the spring constant on the swash plate of a variable displacement pump. The feasibility of the approach was established using a simulation study. It showed that these parameters could be estimated very accurately in a reliable and independent fashion. A special experimental system was set up to facilitate the measurement of certain states to enhance the Kalman Filtering approach. The aforementioned parameters were estimated and found to be reasonably repeatable for a common operating point. It was very evident that as the operating conditions changed (i.e. temperature) so did the estimated values of certain parameters such as viscous friction. This was believed to be a good verification test for the approach.

This paper presents the results of a series of performance tests for the Stilting cryocooler. A free piston and free displacer(FPFD) Stilting cryocooler for cooling infrared and cryo-sensors is currently under development at KIMM. Our coolers are specifically designed to work in the thermal imaging device and to meet requirements such as cooling capacity, COP and high reliability. In this work, Stilting cryocooler is designed, manufactured and fabricated, and performance characteristics for the cooling capacity / applied input power and cool down time are investigated. This cooler delivers approximately 0.9W cooling at 80K for 30W ~ 40W of input power. And, It takes approximately 2 minutes to cool down to 80K at the ambient temperature of 23$^{\circ}C$.

Aluminium titanate (Al$_2$TiO$_{5}$) as structural ceramics is known as a low thermal exansion, a low thermal conductivity, a low Young's modulus, and excellent thermal shock resistant material. These properities allow for the testing as an insulating material in engines for portliner, piston bottom an turbo charger. However, those composites has low mechanical strength due to the presence of microcracks developed by the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients along crystallographic directions exceed the internal strength of material and its tendency to decompose into $Al_2$O$_3$ and TiO$_2$ at temperature below 130$0^{\circ}C$ limit however the application of aluminium titanate.e.
