The noise of an running industrial fan or blower depends on the type of a fan, the machining accuracy and assembled conditions of each element, and buffs. Many studies have been carried out to reduce the noise through silencer in blower. In this study, 3 types of buffs which have different hole are employed in pipe of blower to study the influence the number and arrangement of buffs on the noise reduction at inlet and outlet in pipe. Commercial engineering software ANSYS was employed to analyze the characteristics and reduction ratio of pressure. Experimental results shows that optimal one can reduce the reduction ratio of noise as much as 16 percents in the laboratory. Good agreement was found between the analysed ratio of noise reduction and those obtained from the experiments.

EAF's dust has been treated mainly by pyrometallurgical reduction process in rotary kiln furnace to recover valuable metal elements such as Zn and to avoid the disposal of hazardous materials to waste. Recently, hydrometallurgical eletrowinning of zinc from a zinc-amino chloride solution obtained by the leaching of EAF's dust was developed to recover high grade zinc metal from EAF’s dust. But there are some disadvantages in each process such as difficulty of operation condition control and sticking problem in kiln process and low extractability and recovery of zinc owing to insoluble zinc-ferrite in electrowinning process. We propose a new combined process of pyrometallurgical one and hydrometallurgical one to treat EAF's dust efficiently and economically. In this study, ammonium chloride solution leaching of crude zinc oxide recovered from reduction of EAF's dust was carried out to find out the efficiency of zinc extraction from it and the possibility for performance of eletrowinning in the proposed process. Effects of various leaching variables ruck as leaching temperature, concentration of leaching solution and leaching time were investigated. And the leaching results of the crude zinc oxide were compared with those of EAF's dust. The extraction percents of zinc in ammonium chloride solution leaching of the crude zinc oxide recovered from reduction of EAF's dust were above 80% after 60 minutes of leaching under the leaching condition of 4M NH$_4$CI concentration and above leaching temperature of 7$0^{\circ}C$. And the concentrations of zinc in the leached solution were obtained above 50g/$\ell$. The activation energy calculated for zinc extraction in NH$_4$CI leaching was 58.1 KJ/㏖ for EAF's dust and 15.8 KJ/㏖ for the crude zinc oxide recovered from reduction of EAF's dust.

Experimental and numerical studies were performed to examine the effect of material temperature and reduction ratio on friction coefficient during hot flat rolling. We carried out a single pass pilot hot flat rolling test at the temperatures range of $900{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ and measured the spread of deformed material while reduction ratio varied from 20% to 40%. Materials used in this study were a high carbon steel and two alloy steels. The dimension of specimen used in hot rolling experiment was $50mm{\times}50mm{\times}300mm$. We performed a series of finite element simulation of the hot rolling process to compute the friction coefficient change in terms of steel grade and reduction ratio. Results showed that temperature dependency of friction coefficient is not noteworthy but the effect of reduction ratio on friction coefficient is quite large. For high carbon steel, friction coefficient at reduction ratio of 30% is lower than that at that of 20%. Meanwhile friction coefficient at reduction ratio of 40% was one and half times large compared with that at that of 20%. The effect of steel grade on friction coefficient was significant when reduction ration was large, e.g., 40%.

The comer filling in shaped drawing process is an important characteristic, unlike the round drawing. It has also influence on the dimensional accuracy of the product. In this study, therefore, the shaped drawing process has been simulated by the three dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method in order to investigate the effect of process variables such as reduction in area and semi-die angle to the corner filling. The artificial neural network has also been introduced to reduce the number of simulations. To verify the results of simulations, experiments have been performed on the real industrial products. According to the results, the main process variable on the corner filling is the combination of semi-die angle in the irregular shaped drawing processes, but in the case of regular shaped drawing processes, reduction in area has great influence on the corner filling.

In this work we demonstrate the hot-embossing process under different forming conditions such as forming temperature, load, and holding time in pressing, in order to determine the suitable conditions required for linear patterning on polymer plates (PC). Results showed that the replicated pattern depth increased in proportion to an increase in the forming temperature, load, and time. The reduction of the workpiece thickness increased according to the holding time in the pressing process. In the process of time, the reduction ratio of the workpiece thickness decreased due to the surface area increment of the workpiece, while the pressure on the workpiece declined. In order to reduce the bulging ratio we introduced a temperature difference between the upper and the lower punch.

The effect of oxygen in the synthesis of oxide nanowires by using carbothermal reduction process have been studied thermodynamically and kinetically. By using laboratory air, ZnO nanowires could be fabricated in the carbothermal reduction process and a metal oxidation process. As the processing pressure decreases, the diameter of the nanowires decreases and the oxygen vacancy increases. As the processing pressure increases, the oxygen vacancy decreases and the shape of the ZnO becomes plate-like.

Edge cracks in cold rolling always influence to the quality of productions, while the "V" shaped cracks were propagated by passing the roll gap. We set up the sizes and shapes of initial cracks in simulation according to the references from real productions. Different to in hot rolling, the cracks in cold rolling couldn't be reduced from propagation automatically after generated, even if these could be reduced by changing the process parameters. In this paper, we described the affections of process parameters on the propagation of edge cracks, such as reduction ratio and tension. We predicted that the dependence of the cracks propagations of changing of process conditions and expected to gain the smaller edge cracks. By raising the reduction ratio, the cracks were propagated increasingly in both transverse and rolling directions. And as tension raise, the cracks became propagated in both directions in which transverse direction was less effectively.

Springback is a very typical dimensional discrepancy phenomenon, which occurs usually on the final stamping parts after the tool loading is removed. Variation of springback leads to amplified variations and problems during assembly of the stamped components, in turn, resulting in quality issues. The variations in the properties of the incoming material and process parameters are the main causes of springback variation. In this research, a robust design methodology which combines orthogonal array based experimental design and design space reduction skim to reduce the springback variation for advanced high strength steel parts in sheet metal forming is suggested. The concept of design space reduction is adapted in the experimental design setup to improve the quality of the obtained solution. The effectiveness of the proposed procedures is illustrated through a robust design of springback in metal forming process of a cross member of auto body.

Porphyrin-catalyzed reduction of TNT to triaminotoluene was performed in both batch reactions and a continuous process. Packed-bed reactors were used to study porphyrin-catalyzed reduction in a continuous process. A reactor was packed with DEAD(diethylaminoethyl)-substituted glass beads on which $Co^{+3}$_centered deuteroporpgyrin Ⅸ, -2, 4-disulfonic acid was immobilized, and another containing only DEAE glass beads was used as a control. The porphyrin exhibited catalytic activity in its immobilized state up to 100 hours of operation. Based on the successful abatement of nitrobodies by porphyrin-catalyzed reduction in both batch and continuous process, this process is recommended to be used as a pretreatment for biological treatment or carbon adsorption treatment of TNT wastes.
