An experimental study on the flow characteristics was performed for a two-dimensional turbulent wall attaching offset jet at different oblique angles to a surface. The flow characteristics were investigated by using a split film probe with the modified Stock's calibration method. The jet mean velocity, turbulent intensity, wall static pressure coefficient profiles, and time-averaged reattachment point were measured at the Reynolds number Re (based on the nozzle width, D) ranging from 17700 to 53200, the offset ratio H/D from 2.5 to 10, and the inclined angle .alpha. from 0.deg. C to 40.deg. C. The Correlations between the maximum pressure position, minimum pressure position, and reattachment point and offset ratios, and inclined angles are presented.

EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is an effective strategy to control nitrogen oxides emissions from diesel engine. The EGR reduces $NO_x$ through lowering the oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber as well as through heat absorption. However, application of EGR system is difficult because of the penalty in fuel consumption and the increase in particulate matter. The engine used for the experimental was a 3-cylinder 0.8-liter turbo-charged light duty diesel engine with an electronic EGR valve. In this study, experiments were performed at variable vehicle speeds and loads on the chassis dynamometer. To evaluate the exhaust emissions with the EGR system testing was performed using cvs-75 mode test procedure. Results of the cvs-75 mode test achieve sufficiently to meet EURO3 standards.

An analysis of lateral hydrodynamic forces of compressor labyrinth seals is presented. Basic equations are derived using a two-control-volume model for compressible flow. Blasius' wall friction-factor formula and jet flow theory are used for the calculaton of wall shear stresses and recirculation velocity in the cavity. Linearized zeroth-order and first-order perturbation equations are developed for a small motion about the centered position by expansion in the eccentricity ratio. Integraton of the resultant first-order pressure distribution over the seal defines the rotordynamic coefficients. As an application a rotordynamic analysis of the balance drum labyrinth seal found in an ethylene regrigeration copmressor is carried out. The rotordynamic characteristic results of the labyrinth seal are presented and compared with other types of seals, honeycomb seal and smooth seal.

A Parametric study is numerically carried out for flow fields in a two-dimensional plane channel with thin obstacles(“baffles and blocks”) mounted symmetrically in the vertical direction and periodically in the streamwise direction. The aim of this investigation is to understand how various geometric conditions influence the critical characteristics and pressure drop. A range of BR(the ratio of baffle interval to channel height) between 1 and 5 is considered. Especially when BR is equal to 3, for which the critical Reynolds number turned out to be minimal, we add blocks in the center region in order to study their destabilizing effects on the flows. It is revealed that the critical Reynolds number is further decreased by the presence of the block.

The present study addresses experimental results to investigate the effect of the jet supply chamber configuration on the sonic/supersonic swirling jets, as the case study. The experiment is carried out using the convergent nozzle with a various different chamber configurations upstream the nozzle throat, which is composed of four tangential inlet holes for the swirling flows. The jet pressure ratio is varied between 3.0 and 7.0. The sonic/supersonic swirling jet flows are specified by the pitot impact and static pressure measurements and visualized using the Shadowgraph method. The results show that the major structures of the sonic/supersonic swirling jet are strongly influenced by the jet supply chamber.

The objective of this research is to determine generally applicable design principles for the development of internally staged combustion devices. Utilizing a triple annulus combustor, air staged commercial propane flame configuration are studied. For this triple air staged combustor, the angular momentum weighted by it's swirl number and air distribution ratio was observed to be the critical criteria. An internal recirculation zone which develops on the centerline of the flame immediately downstream of the burner entraps the fuel into a fuel rich eddy. Then sufficient heat must he transferred from the flame via radiation to the chamber heat transfer surfaces, such that when the second air is introduced, peak flame temperatures are suppressed. It is experimentally found out that the total NOx emission level in this type of burner is lower than 0.75g/kg.

This study presents an algorithm that determines the optimal configuration of the FMSs with limited local buffers. The algorithm finds the lowest cost configuration, i.e. the number of tools, the number of pallets as well as the number of buffers to be installed in front of each machine in the system. Thus it assures a given production ratio with a minimum cost. In the algorithm, FMSs are considered as the closed queueing network with limited queue length. System performance evaluation is performed using the Block-&-Recirculation model developed by Yao and Buzacott. The algorithm is composed with three steps. The steps are namely i) determination of a lower configuration, ii) derivation of an heuristic solution, and iii) obtaining the optimal solution. The computational efforts required in the algorithm usually lies within the capability of personal computers.

A multi-cylinder four cycle spark ignition engine equipped with on exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) system to reduce nitric oxide emission and to improve fuel consumption rate has been comprehensively simulated In a computer program including intake and exhaust manifolds. To achieve these goals, this program was tested against experiments performed on a standard production four cylinder four cycle gasoline engine with EGR system. As EGR rate Increased, the maximum temperature of combustion chamber and NO omission concentration decreased under each driving condition. But the emission concentration of CO didn't change much through whole district in spite of the increase of EGR rate. Fuel consumption rate improved under each driving condition according to the increased of EGR rate until 10 percent EGR rate. Therefore the degree of EGR depend not only on the NO emission but also on the economy and the engine performance criteria of the engine.

This paper deals with the experimental study on the flow characteristics in straight flow can type combustor which has been used for high pressure ratio gas turbine combustor. The author has investigated the effects of swirl number and secondary air hole arrays in axial position on the flow characteristics by adopting the tuft method and 5-Hole Pilot Tube. From these experiments, as the swirl number increases, the results obtained is that the area of recirculation zone becomes wide and the position of vortex-core region approaches to the near of fuel nozzle in the model combustor. The most favourable penetration is obtained when secondary air jet is introduced through the air holes distributed in the form of paralled two rows in axial position of model combustor.

This study presents both experimental and numerical investigation of ignition characteristics of n-heptane and n-butanol mixture. The $O_2$ concentration was fixed to 9-10% to make high exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) rate condition. Experiments were performed using a rapid compression machine. In addition, a numerical study of the ignition delay time was performed using CHEMKIN codes to validate experimental results and predict chemical species after combustion process. The results showed that the ignition delay time increased with increasing n-butanol ratio and the reactivity decreased by low $O_2$ concentration.
