Incomplete combustion due to quenching in a narrow confinement has been a major problem for realization of a reliable micro combustion device. In most micro combustors, effects of flows are absent in the quenching because the flow is laminar and no severe stretch is present. In such circumstance, quenching is caused either by heat loss or by removal of active radicals to the wall surface of the confinement. An experimental investigation was carried out to investigate the relative significance of these two causes of quenching of a premixed flame. A premixed jet burner with a rectangular cross section at the exit was built. At the burner exit, the flame stands between two walls with adjustable distance. The gap between the two walls at which quenching occurs was measured at different wall surface conditions. The results were analyzed to estimate the relative significance of heat loss to the wall and the removal of radicals at the surface. The measurements indicated that the quenching distance was independent of the wall surface characteristics such as oxygen vacancy, grain boundary, or impurities at low temperature. At high temperature, however, the surface characteristics strongly affect the quenching distance, implying that radical removal at the wall plays a significant role in the quenching process.

A rectangular fin with a fluid in the inside wall is analyzed and optimized using a two-dimensional analytical method. The influence of the fluid convection characteristic number in the inside wall and the fin base thickness on the fin base temperature is listed. For the fixed fin volumes, the maximum heat loss and the corresponding optimum fin effectiveness and dimensions as a function of the fin base thickness, convection characteristic numbers ratio, convection characteristic number over the fin, fluid convection characteristic number in the inside wall, and the fin volume are represented. One of the results shows that both the optimum heat loss and the corresponding fin effectiveness increase as the fin base thickness decreases.

The applications of the high density plasma sources to the etching in semiconductor fabrication process are actively studied because of the more strict requirement from the dry etching process due to shrinking down of the critical dimension. But in the oxide etching with the high density plasma sources, abundant fluorine atoms released from the flurocarbon feed gas make it difficult to get the highly selective $SiO_2/Si$ etching. In this study, to improve the $SiO_2/Si$ etch selectivity through the control of the radical loss channels, we propose the wall heating , one of methods of controlling loss mechanisms. With appearance mass spectroscopy(AMS) and actinometric optical emission spectroscopy(OES), the increase of both radicals impinging on the substrate and existing in bulk plasma, and the decrease of the fluorine atom with wall temperature are observed. As a result, a 40% improvement of the selectivity was achieved for the carbon rich feed gas.

There have been a lot of studies about repair & strengthening of the concrete structure. But there has almost not been my study on section damage effect due to holes drilled out for installing additional facilities or equipment, such as rack on the wall of building or underground culvert system, plumbing system through the column or wall of it, after being occupied. This study is to find out how much the section loss due to holes will give loss of section strength. We cm determine if we repair or reinforce it completely or not, using strength loss from the hole. Hole size of diameter 3cm, 2cm, lcm, depth of 3cm, 5cm, 10cm, and position of each hole has been considered as variables of this study. It is concluded that section loss 30% results in 53% of strength damage.

The validity of the existing formulas for the estimation of reflection coefficient of waves due to perforated wall is investigated using the result of hydraulic experiments conducted with perforated walls of various thickness. The result shows that, when the wall is thick, the energy loss coefficient is reduced to 62% of the value evaluated using the existing formula for sharp-crested orifice. The result also shows that the length of inertia resistance increases linearly as the thickness of the wall increases. The width of chamber to achieve the minimum reflection of waves decreases as the length of inertia resistance increases. Thus, the result found in the present study can be usful for the design of perforated wall.

This paper demonstrates a novel electrodynamic technique to remove particles from the wall of microchannels. Dielectrohporesis(DEP) is generated by applying alternating electric potentials to the interdigitated electrodes integrated at the bottom of the micro-channel. The proposed technique is applied to a general microfluidic channel as a feasibility test. To examine the wall loss reduction efficiency, 10 ${\mu}m$ diameter Polystyrene latexes(PSL) were supplied to the inlet of the device. Then, the concentration of collected particles through devices was measured. In the experiment for 10 ${\mu}m$ diameter PSL particles, the concentration of the injected particles was $174.25{\times}10^4$ particles/ml. However, the concentration of collected particles at the outlet was $52.25{\times}10^4$ particles/ml. Only 30 % of particles had arrived at the outlet and 70 % of particles had adhered to the wall of the microfluidic channel. By applying alternating electric potentials from 0 to 20 $V_{pp}$ at 3 MHz, the concentration of injected particles was 135.00${\times}10^4$ particles/ml, the concentration of collected particles was increased as $105.25{\times}10^4$ particles/ml at 20 $V_{pp}$ at the outlet. When the electric potential was 20 $V_{pp}$, the particle loss was decreased by 39 % (initial loss: 70 %, loss at 20 Vpp: 31 %) with 10 ${\mu}m$ particle. The particle loss was decreased along to the incensement of electric potentials and the enlargement of the diameter of particles. According to these measured results, it was confirmed that the proposal of using DEP technique could be a good candidate for particle loss reduction in micro-particle processing chip application. Moreover, it is expected that the proposed technique could enhance performance of microfluidic and biochip devices.

Characteristics of methane direct-injection spark-ignition stratified combustion in lean hydrogen mixture were analyzed both in a single cylinder engine and in a constant volume combustion chamber. Combustion pressure and Instantaneous combustion chamber wall temperature during the combustion process were measured with a thin-film thermocouple and used in analyses of combustion and cooling loss. Results in this research show that the premixed hydrogen increases cooling loss to combustion chamber wall while achieving combustion promotion, and the combustion system is effective especially in lean mixture conditions. Analysis of flame propagation was also done with Schlieren photography in the constant volume combustion chamber.

This study deals with the sound insulation performance of the damping sheet, which is widely used in a train. The wall of train is assumed to be a plate made of steel and two damping sheets. In case of damping sheet only, the sound transmission loss follows the mass law. If a steel plate is attached to damping sheet, the transmission loss is found to be higher than single of only steel plate, as we can anticipated, about $3{\sim}5$ dB. This is very well known consequence that is because the density of area increases. However, the increase of the transmission loss is not higher than what we can expect by the mass law. That's because the steel is perfectly blocked from the transmission of the air ; There is no defect in that material.

Unsteady simulations were performed to investigate the flame structure and the dynamic behavior of a premixed flame exposed to the wall heat loss. A 3-step global reaction mechanism was adopted in this study. Simulations were performed for two tube combustors with inner diameters($d_i$) of 1mm and 4mm. The material of tube combustor was assumed to be a Silicon Nitride($Si_{3}N_4$). The heat loss from the outer tube wall was controlled by adjusting the amount of convective and radiative heat loss. A conical premixed flame could be stabilized inside a tube of $d_i=4mm$. The flame stability inside a tube of $d_i=4mm$ combustor was not much sensitive to the amount of heat loss. In case of a tube of $d_i=1mm$, an oscillating flame was observed in very low heat loss condition and a flame could not be sustained in realistic heat loss condition.

Transmission loss of KHST passenger vehicle was calculated using measured acoustic data: In order to verify the transmission loss results for KHST case, similar experiment was carried out in laboratory condition, which result was compared those by geometric acoustic method. The computational results shows good agreement with the transmission loss magnitude from experiments. This paper also mentions items to obtain more accurate transmission loss values, i. e. how to assure reverberant field condition, the selection of source speaker' location.
