In this paper, we developed a breather valve with a water mist system for use near an oil storage tank. Our process applied a water mist system to the flame arrester to evaluate the fire suppression characteristics. For the fire suppression evaluation of the water mist system, we evaluated the angle of the nozzle, fire suppression, spray particle size, flashback, fire suppression time, and fire suppression test of antifreeze. Through the fire suppression test, the best fire suppression nozzle used an angle of $140^{\circ}$, and the flashback phenomenon of flame arrester did not occur. The fire suppression time of water mist system time was within three seconds, and the antifreeze was no problem with the fire suppression.

By employing the concept of equivalent linkage, this paper presents an analytical method for analyzing the mechanical errors of disk cam mechanisms with a flat-faced follower. The resulting error equations do not really involve the location of the curvature center of the cam profile, and locating the curvature center of the cam profile is not essential. The resulting errors are significantly affected by the pressure angle, and the smaller pressure angle will result in the smaller mechanical error. In the worst case, owing to the joined effects of various design parameters, the accuracy of the follower motion may degrade considerably. For the oscillating follower case, all acceleration error functions have a sudden change at every beginning and at every end of the motion even though the theoretical follower displacement is cycloidal motion.

The capacity and long life of gel electrolyte batteries is connected with gas recombination producting $PbO_2$ and Pb electrode. We were prepared with phosphoric acid gel electrolyte to know gel characteristics per density to assemble VRLA batteries. We studied by measuring electrolyte dispersion using Brewster-angle microscope(BAM), charge-discharge cycle and electrode structure using scanning election microscope(SEM) per electrolyte density. As a results, phosphoric acid density 1.210 was excellent gel dispersion in sol condition, electrode condition after fifty cycles in this study.

The object of this study is to find new evalution index for in-cylinder flow characteristics insteady of current swirl, tumble coefficient using steady flow test rig on intake port system. To this end, port flow rig test was conducted on DOHC head varying intake valve lift respectively. Finally combination angular coefficient and inclination angle were introduced as new evaluation index for in-cylinder angular flow characteristics.

For the purpose of helping development of a GDI(Gasoline Direct Injection) engine, the in-cylinder phenomena, such as the spray behaviors and fuel distributions, unburned fuel, and flame characteristics were investigated in a single cylinder GDI engine. The GDI engine was equipped with a swirl type electronic injector and SCV(Swirl Control Valve). PLIF(Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence) system with KrF Excimer laser was used for the measurements of the fuel distributions. The effects of the injector specifications, such as the spray cone angle and the offset angle on the fuel distributions and combustion characteristics were investigated. As a result, it was found that the injected fuel spray collided with the bottom of the bowl and moved upward along the exhaust side wall of the piston bowl. This fuel vapor played a important role in the instance of spark ignition. The injector specifications has a great influence on the flame characteristics.

If a ship diesel engine is operated by consolidated control with Controllable Pitch Propeller(CPP), the minimum fuel consumption is achieved together with the demanded ship speed. For this, it is necessary that the ship is operated on the ideal operating line which satisfies the minimum fuel consumption and that the pitch angle of CPP and throtle valve angle are controlled simultaneously. In this point of view, this paper presents a controller design method for a ship propulsion system with CPP based on the decoupling control theory. To do this, Linear Matrix Inequality(LMI) approach is introduced for the control system to satisfy the given $H_\infty$ control performance and robust stability in the presence of physical parameter perturbations. The validity and applicability of this approach are illustrated by simulation in the all operating ranges.

Emission regulations have been strengthened step by step for marine engines. A noble measure is required both inside and outside of the combustion chamber. The combustion characteristics in cylinder have a very close relationship with the exhaust emission characteristics. Injection valve and nozzle hole geometry is an important factor for combustion. The study to improve the spray characteristics has concentrated on nozzle inlet geometry and nozzle hole diameter, but the exit geometry has not considered. In this study the nozzle exit angle variation was tested. The results show that the angle between $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ is more effective than the other cases.

In this study, The watertight damper was designed to improve conventional DN 350A butterfly valve. The FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction) analysis has performed to investigate the safety factor for the watertight damper. When watertight damper of disk was closed, the disk of pressure value is constant. However depending on the opening angle of disk, the flow velocity and pressure are changed. The maximum velocity was appeared at the end of disk on the small outlet area of duct. When the opening angel of disk is $90^{\circ}$, the maximum velocity was appeared at the center of ending disk. So we were found the opening angle of disk is bigger, the flow rate is increased and velocity is also increased from the result of FSI analysis. We can find the least deformation and stress when the opening angel of damper is $90^{\circ}$. When the $45^{\circ}$ opening angle of disk, the largest deformation and stress was found and the minimum safety factor 1.3 was calculated. As a result, we found that the structure of watertight damper is safe enough irrespective of opening angel.

This paper proposes a control scheme to reduce the power consumption of a variable displacement swash-plate type piston pump supplying oil to a valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder at constant pressure. Whenever flow rate demand was absent, the swash plate angle and the pump speed were changed to the minimum values required to compensate for the internal leakage flow. In response to command signals, the pump speed was changed in proportion to the absolute mean value of the speed component for position commands. At the same time, a pressure regulator was activated to maintain constant system pressure by precisely adjusting the pump speed with the swash plate angle fixed at the maximum. The conventional system consisting of a pressure-compensated variable displacement type pump is driven at a constant speed of 1,800rpm. By comparison, computer simulation and experimental results showed that idling power at stand-by status could be reduced by up to 70% by reducing the pump speed from 1,800rpm to 300rpm and the swash plate angle to the minimum.

An arteriovenous fistula is artificially produced using a graft for hemodialysis in patients. In an arteriovenous graft (AVG), the angle of its arterial or venous anastomosis play an important role in producing flows inside blood vessels, through which a stenosis may occur. Most studies thus far have focused on CFD results. In this study, a PIV technique is used to analyze the hemodynamic characteristics at the arterial or venous anastomosis of an AVG having an angle of $30^{\circ}C$. For flow dynamic similarity, the Reynolds number is set to be the same for real and simulated flows. A PIV experiment is performed with a control valve in the arterial part. In conclusion, the recirculation flow appeared in the bifurcation area and the total blood velocity changed according to the extent of valve opening.
