The fabrication process of Cu-base anode for replacing Ni-base anode of molten carbonate fuel cell was investigated. Electrochemical performance and thermal stability of Cu-base anode were also investigated. Green sheet was prepared by mixing Cu and Ni powder with 1.5wt% methylcellulose and 100wt% water. The pore-size distribution of the Cu-base anode sintered at $800^{\circ}C$ for 30min showed almost uniform pore-size ranging from 4 to 20$\mu\textrm{m}$ and it was considered suitable for MCFC anode. Cu-Ni anode containing between 35 to 50wt% Ni exhibited current density of 111mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 100mV overpotential and it was almost the some value for pure Ni anode. The sintering resistance of Cu-Ni increased with an increase of Ni addition. It was considered that the increase of sintering resistance was due to the decrease of diffusion rate of Cu and Ni with increasing the addition of Ni in Cu-Ni alloy.

The performance of a radiator is generally determined using a wind tunnel, in which the air velocity is uniform. However, when it is installed in a car, the distribution of the air velocity becomes nonuniform due to front-end openings, cross members, and horns etc., resulting in lower performance. In this study, several underhood flow simulations have been first performed to get flow rates and velocity distributions over the radiator. Secondly heat release rates are calculated by both a performance curve and a radiator model. Finally, using an engine cooling system simulator, radiator-top-tank temperature is predicted and the variations of heat release rate and radiator-top-tank temperature with nonuniformity of air velocity distributions are analyzed. The results show that the current engine cooling model successfully accounts for the nonuniformity effects that should be considered for higher accuracy in predicting engine cooling performance.

Diamond deposition by muti-cathode DC PACVD has been investigated. Five cathodes were independently connected to their own DC power supplies. The voltage and current of each cathods were varied up to 700 V and 3.5 A, respectively. The plasma formation and the diamond deposition behaviour on a substrate of 3 inch in diameter were investigated by optical emission spectroscopy, SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The plasma formed by five cathodes was non-uniform, which was depended on the geometry of cathods array. The growth rate and the quality of diamond film were closely related to the spatial distribution of the plasma.

The equilibrium or growth shape of ceramic materials is classified largely into two categories according to the thermodynamic conditions imposed. One is a polyhedral shape where the surface free energy is anisotropic, and the other a spherical shape where the surface free energy is isotropic. In the case of grains with a polyhedral shape of anisotropic surface free energy, socalled abnormal grain growth usually takes place due to a significant energy barrier for a growth unit to be attached to the crystal surface. In the case of grains with a spherical shape of isotropic surface free energy, however, normal grain growth with a uniform size distribution takes place. In this contribution, the state-of-the-art of our current understanding of the relationship between the crystal shape and the microstructure evolution during the sintering of ceramic materials in the presence of a liquid phase was discussed.

The measurement of stator core loss for an induction motor at each manufacturing process is carried out in this paper. Iron loss in the stator core of induction motor changes after each manufacturing process due to the mechanical stress, which can cause the deterioration of the magnetic performances. This paper proposes a new iron loss measuring system of the stator core in an induction motor, which can be applied to the case when the distribution of magnetic flux density is not uniform along the magnetic flux path. In the system, the iron loss is calculated based on the induced voltage of the B-search coil and exciting current.

It is well known that compositionally modulated Cu-Ni alloy can be produced by an electrochemical method in Ni sulfate solution containing trace amount of Cu. a mathematical model is presented to describe the current distribution and weight percent of Cu in Ni layer on the rotating disk electrode. The model includes convective-diffusion equation, the Laplace's equation and various overpotentials, and is solved numerically. The thickness of Cu layer is almost uniform whereas the thickness of Ni layer as well as the Ni/Cu weight ratio are increased approaching to the edge of the disk. These results agree well with the experimental values. The ohmic potential drop is suggested as a major cause of a nonuniformity in Ni layer. The optimum plating condition for the fabrication of susperlattice is proposed based on the results of this study.

Magnetization distribution in the ring magnet for BLDC motor is generally nonuniform because the structure of mutipole magnetizer is not symmetry and the air gap is not uniform. In this paper, the effect of the nonuniform magnetization on characteristics of the motor such as torque ripple, unbalanced force and current is examined. Time stepped finite element method is used for electromagnetic field analysis.

The nonlinear, time dependent photon transport equations of Frantz and Nodvik, which describe the amplification of an optical pulse in an active medium, are modified to a simpler equation which describes only the amplification of energy. with this equation, the output energy of the high power YLF(Nd3+)-Phosphate Glass(Nd3+) Laser System is calculated. When the stored energy density Est is 0.10J/㎤, 0.16J/㎤, 0.228J/㎤, and 0.50J/㎤, and with the assumption of uniform population inversion density, the final output energy of this laser system is 5.38J, 176J, 317J, and 283J, respectively. The gain saturation causes distortion of the output beam. This phenomenon is described in detail at the first three rod amplifier systems in the case of E=0.228J/㎤. The peak current and decay time constant of the flashlamps, which are used to obtain population inversion in the active medium, are investigated. The flashlamp driving circuit which has optimum operational performance should have {{{{ SQRT { LC} }} time about 100$\mu$sec.

Magnesium and its alloys are attracted towards all engineering applications like automotive, marine, aerospace etc. due to its inherent high strength to weight ratio. But, extensive use of Mg alloys is limited to the current scenario because of low wear and corrosion resistance behavior. However, equal channel angular press is one of the severe plastic deformation technique which has been effective method to improve the wear and corrosion resistance by achieving fine grain structure. In this study, the effect of grain refinement on wear and corrosion resistance of AZ80 Mg alloys were investigated. The wear behavior of the coarse and fine-grained Mg alloys was examined through $L_9$ orthogonal array experiments in order to comprehend the wear behavior under varies control parameters. It was shown that ECAPed alloy increased the wear and corrosion resistance of the Mg alloy through the formation of fine grain and uniform distribution of secondary ${\beta}-phase$. Also, the performance of AZ80 Mg alloy for these changeswas discussed through SEM morphology.

The paper investigates the residual stresses arising in a thermoviscoelastic cylinder as a result of layer-by-layer deposition of material on its lateral surface. Internal stresses are caused by incompatible deformations that accumulate in the assembly as a result of joining parts with different temperatures. For the analysis of internal stresses, an analytical solution to the axisymmetric quasi-static problem of thermoelasticity for a growing cylinder is constructed. It is shown that the distribution of residual stresses depends on the scenario of the surfacing process. In this case, the supply of additional heat to the growing body can significantly reduce the unevenness of temperature fields and reduce the intensity of residual stresses. The most effective is uneven heating, which can be realized, by the action of an alternating current with a tunable excitation frequency. The temperature and residual stresses fields on the growing surface is analyzed numerically for Titanium and Copper materials.
