An experimental study is performed to investigate the characteristics of near wake flow behind a circular cylinder with serrated fins using a constant temperature anemometer and flow visualization. Various vortex shedding modes are observed. Fin height and pitch are closely related to the vortex shedding frequency after a certain transient Reynolds number. The through velocity across the fins decreases with increasing fin height and decreasing fin pitch. Vortex shedding is affected strongly by the velocity distribution just on top of the finned tube. The weaker gradient of velocity distribution is shown as increasing the freestream velocity and the fin height, while decreasing the fin pitch. The weaker velocity gradient delays the entrainment flow and weakens its strength. As a result of this phenomenon, vortex shedding is decreased. The effective diameter is defined as a virtual circular cylinder diameter taking into account the volume of fins, while the hydraulic diameter is proposed to cover the effect of friction by the fin surfaces. The Strouhal number based upon the effective diameters seems to correlate well with that of a circular cylinder without fins. After a certain transient Reynolds number, the trend of the Strouhal number can be estimated by checking the ratio of effective diameter to inner diameter. The normalized velocity and turbulent intensity distributions with the hydraulic diameter exhibit the best correlation with the circular cylinder's data.

An experimental study is performed to investigate the characteristics of vortex shedding behind a circular cylinder with serrated fins using hot-wire anemometer. Strouhal numbers which are calculated using outer diameter of a circular cylinder with serrated fins are higher than that of a circular cylinder. Fin thickness and pitch are closely related with vortex shedding frequency and play increasing or decreasing vortex shedding after transient Reynolds numbers. Strouhal numbers using effective diameters which are proposed in this paper agree with that of a circular cylinder. After transient Reynolds number, a trend of Strouhal number can be estimated by checking the ratio of effective diameter to inner diameter.

인터넷이 급성장함에 따라 사용자의 더 나은 서비스에 대한 요구 역시 급증하였다. 네트웍 연구가들은 제한된 네트웍 자원 하에서 오류제어, 흐름 제어, 그리고 폭주 제어를 적절히 수행함으로써 전송 품질을 향상시키는 방법들에 대해 연구해 오고 있다. 그러나 인터넷 연구의 가장 큰 난점 중 하나가 인터넷에는 네트웍의 상태를 모니터링할 수 있는 근간이 되는 방법이 기본적으로 지원되고 있지 않다는 점이고 따라서 네트웍의 구조와 상태, 플로우의 흐름 및 통계 등에 대한 기본 자료가 부족한 실정이다. 오류 제어나 흐름 제어, 그리고 폭주제어 기술을 연구할 때 가장 필요한 자료중의 하나가 네트웍 토폴로지이다. 그 중에서도 송신자와 수신자 사이의 거리 정보인 Network Diameter가 있다. 기존 연구에서는 연구자 임의로 이 값을 할당하거나 혹은 특정 실험실에서만 유효한 Network Diameter가 있다. 기존 연구에서는 연구자 임의로 이 값을 할당하거나 혹은 특정 실험에서만 유효한 Network Diameter 값을 제시해오고 있었다. 이 논문에서는 이처럼 비객관적이거나 특수값으로만 사용되어 오던 Internet Diameter를 실효 접속에 근거하여 측정하는 알고리즘을 제안하고, KAIST에서 전세계로 나가는 실측 접속 자료로부터 접속 Hop Count의 분포를 측정하며 이를 통해 타 인터넷 연구에 적절한 자료를 제시한다.

In the process of crossflow microfiltration, a deposit of cake layer tends to form on the membrane, which usually controls the performance of filtration. It is found, however, that there exist a condition under which no deposit of cake layer is made. This condition is called the sub-critical flux condition, and the critical flux here means a flux below which a decline of flux with time due to the deposit of cake layer does not occur. In order to study the characteristics of the critical flux, a numerical model is developed to predict the critical flux condition, and is verified with experimental results. For development of the model, the concept of effective particle diameter is introduced to find a representative size of various particles in relation to diffusive properties of particles. The model is found to be in good match with the experimental results. The findings from the use of the model include that the critical flux condition is determined by the effective particle diameter and the ratio of initial permeate flux to crossflow velocity.

This paper presents an optimization cutting speed(OCS) program developed to improve the machining precision and tool life in high speed machining using ball end milling. This program optimized the cutting speed that is changing at any time in free surface machining of an automobile part like a connecting load die. The technique of optimization cutting speed makes the CAD/CAM-generated NC code go through a reverse post process, conducts cutting simulation, and obtain the effective tool diameter of the ball end milling. Then it changes the spindle revolution to within the range of critical cutting speed fit for the material of the workpieces depending upon the effective tool diameter. In this study, the machining precision and tool life were compared for the two connecting load dies processed using the general cutting method and the proposed optimization cutting speed technique, respectively.

In this paper, the local effective thermal conductivities and calculated by using the actual temperature distribution in packed bed. The variations of these are investigated for radius and air stream direction, flow rate and particle diameter. The resulting local effective thermal conductivi-ties are classified in the inner zone of bed and vicinity zone of the wall surface. Also these are related to dimensionless axial direction position, radius direction position, and particle diameter and Reynolds number which uses particle diameter as the characteristic length. If these correla-tions are represented by function, the equation is showed in Eq. (3-4). This equation is well satisfied with experimental results within $\pm25\%.$

Background: The cytological analysis of serous effusions is a common investigation and yields important diagnostic information. However, the distinction of reactive mesothelial cells from malignant cells can sometimes be difficult for the cytopathologist. Hence cost-effective ancillary methods are essential to enhance the accuracy of cytological diagnosis. The aim of this study was to examine the utility of nuclear morphometry in differentiating reactive mesothelial cells from malignant cells in effusion smears. Materials and Methods: Sixty effusion smears consisting of 30 effusions cytologically classified as malignant (adenocarcinomas) and 30 benign effusions showing reactive mesothelial cells were included in the study. ImageJ was used to measure the nuclear area, perimeter, maximal feret diameter, minimal feret diameter and the circularity. A total of ten representative cells were studied in each case. Results: Significant differences were found between benign and malignant effusions for the nuclear area, perimeter, maximal feret diameter and minimal feret diameter. No significant difference was found for circularity, a shape descriptor. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that nuclear area, perimeter, maximal feret diameter, and minimal feret diameter are helpful in discriminating benign and malignant effusions. Conclusions: Computerised nuclear morphometry is a helpful ancillary technique to distinguish benign and malignant effusions. ImageJ is an excellent cost effective tool with potential diagnostic utility in effusion cytology.

A study is to predict the effective pulsing distance following to the pulsing pressure, nozzle diameter, filtration velocity using numercial analysis techniques and use it as an efficient operation condition and economic data for on-line type pulse air jet bag filter. Filtration area 6 m² condition, calculate filter resistance coefficient for simulation through the primary experiments using coke dust. For CFD simulation, analysis pulsing characteristics about nozzle diameter, filtration velocity and pulsing pressure. The maximum pulsing length of on-line type pulse air jet bag filter, in 10mm nozzle, filtration velocity 1.5m/min and pulsing pressure 5 bar conditions, is 2,285 mm, maximum length is 76.2% of the total filter bag, which is sufficient to pulsing. In 12mm nozzle, pulsing pressure 5 bar and filtration area 1.22 m² conditions, the maximum pulsing length of on-line type pulse air jet bag filter is 1,744~2,952 mm, and the maximum length is 2,952 mm indicates pulsing air can be reached to the bottom of filter bag. When the nozzle diameter is increased 8mm to 10mm, maximum pulsing length is extended 40~47%, and increased 10mm to 12 mm, maximum pulsing length is extended 10~17%. For effective pulsing, over the 5bar of pulsing pressure and larger than 10 mm of nozzle diameter are required.
