The position effect of the solid propellant in the combustion chamber on the decrease of the differential pressure has been investigated using the IBcode. Generally the metallic cartridge or CCC (combustible cartridge case) as the propellant for the cannon has been loaded. The position of the propellant(cartridge) is, therefore, a major factor for the interior ballistics in case the combustion chamber is larger than the cartridge. In this study, three cases of the existence of empty space in the chamber has been considered. As results, the case of the propellant located in the region near the base and breech has shown that the negative differential pressure and the difference between the breech pressure and the base pressure are much higher than those of the case of the propellant located in the center of the chamber. The case of the propellant in the center of the chamber is, therefore, more profitable to improve the performance of the interior ballistics.

Purpose: In the event of a fire in a high-rise building, if the smoke control area is not effectively protected, smoke or flames enter the stairwell, making it difficult to evacuate. When inflowing air is discharged from a closed corridor, a negative pressure is formed in the corridor, the pressure in the smoke control area becomes excessively high, and the force required to open the door during evacuation is exceeded. Also, if the air introduced into the hallway is not exhausted, the smoke may flow back into the smoke control area. This paper tried to identify the problems caused by the inflowing air and to find out how to improve the performance. Method: Using the CONTAM program, simulations were performed with the basic conditions and the modified conditions. Result: If the inflowing air was discharged from the sealed corridor, overpressure occurred in the Smoke Control Area and exceeded the opening force, and the prevent smoke backflow was insufficient in the layer where the inflowing air was not discharged. Conclusion: "Differential pressure exhaust damper" application, simultaneous opening of two exhaust dampers, and automatic window installation between corridors and outdoors improved the exhaust performance of inflowing air.

The sizes of cryogenic vessels and storage tanks are becoming bigger due to strong demands from semiconductor and LCD industry as well as high-tech electronic industry. Conventional level and pressure gauges used for cryogenic vessels were analog types which made exact measurement difficult for the remained quantity at lower levels due to their poor accuracy. In this study, a design for a digital type gas level gauge which can measure the pressure and level inside of the cryogenic liquefied gas storage tanks has been proposed by using a differential pressure sensor, in which the measured data are monitored by a host PC and are transferred to a mobile printer for data confirmation at local station.

Using the numerical code for the interior ballistics, the performance of the interior ballistics with the characteristic of the ignition-gas injections has been investigated. The ignition gas has been assumed to be injected into the chamber with 3 cases. As the results of analysis, when the ignition-gas has been injected into all chamber area, the pressure distributions of the chamber of the interior ballistics have been uniform and the differential pressure has been stable. The ignition-gas has been injected into the partial area of the chamber, however, the pressure distributions and the differential pressure have been unstable. The case using the longer ignition injector, therefore, seems to be more suitable to improve the stability of the interior ballistics.

In this paper, we devised pulse detection transducer that has non-differential characteristics for pulse detection on chongu arterial. The transducer consist of load cell and driving electronic circuits. Load cell consist of cantilever and two metal film strain gauge. The pressure signal from chongu artery is delivered to load cell using artery rider that attached to cantilever. Therefore the pressure pulse signal can obtain by the developed transducer. As the results of experiment, the developed transducer has a good linearity at pressure to voltage conversion and acan detect non-differential pulse signal from chongu artery.

The discharge coefficient in segmental wedge haying ninety degrees yeller angle for the five kinds of opening ratio with differential pressure taps located at both upstream and downstream of one diameter of pipe was measured. Main purpose of this work is placed on specifying the characteristic of discharge coefficient of a segmental wedge used as a primary element of flow metering devices, and suggestion for the fixed location of pressure taps useful. Although the range of the opening ratio over this work is more expanded than previous studies. The opening ratios of segmental wedge, namely 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 were investigated. The Reynolds number based on the spool inside diameter ranges from 12,000 to 380,000.

Flow quantity to supply to a coil in floor heating system is important to achieve comfortable indoor air condition in the winter season. The hot water header is used to distribute the water into the coil. Experimental study has been performed using the water header that have 5 branches consisted of flow control valves and automatic shut-off valves. Each branch line connected it with X-L pipe. Experimental tests accomplished it to investigate the flow distribution characteristics of the hot water header. Experimental results show that the selection of the pump head and differential pressure are very important to save running energy of the system, and high differential pressure needs more friction loss in the case of suitable differential pressure for balancing of the header.

The fact that the major cases of life casualties are from smoke in the fire accidents and the expected steep increase of skyscrapers, huge spaces, multiplexes and huge scaled underground spaces demand establishment of efficient smoke countermeasure. The field experiments on pressure differential systems for smoke management in two high buildings of 20 stories and 21 stories are carried out to evaluate the features of airflow through open door between accommodation and lobby. The procedures and results of experiments are presented.

The fact that the major cases of life casualties are from smoke in the fire accidents and the expected steep increase of skyscrapers, huge spaces, multiplexes and huge scaled underground spaces demand establishment of efficient smoke countermeasure. In pressure differential systems for smoke management, the speed of airflow through open door between accommodation and lobby should be maintained over 0.5m/s on the whole area of door to prevent smoke from infiltrate into evacuation root when the door is open for refuge. The numerical analysis on features of airflow through open door are carried out and the results are presented.
