Stirling engine is an external combustion engine, whose efficiency approaches that of Carnot engine with the help of a regenerator. The regenerator is a heat exchanger composed of porous medium, whose performance is dependent on the pore structure. Three types of pore structures are considered in the present study. They are wire screen, random wire and composite structure, i.e. a combination of wire screens with different hydraulic diameters. The porosity more highly affects the performance of a regenerator compared to the hydraulic diameter. The random wire can yield high effectiveness even at a high porosity. The composite mesh gives better performance when the hydraulic diameter decreases in the direction from hot side to cold side.

In the present work, shape of the mixing vane in Plus7 fuel assembly has been optimized numerically using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis of flow and heat transfer. Standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model is used as a turbulence closure. The Response surface method is employed as an optimization technique. The objective function is defined as a combination of heat transfer rate and inverse of friction loss. Bend angle and base length of mixing vane are selected as design variables. Thermal-hydraulic performances for different shapes of mixing vane have been discussed, and optimum shape has been obtained as a function of weighting factor in the objective function.

동심 이중관내에서 사각돌출형 조도요소에 의한 비대칭 난류유동과 열 전달특성을, 열전달과 마찰계수에 미치는 조도의 합성효과를 조사하기 위해, 연구하였다. 이론해석에서는 한쪽면에 거칠기가 있는 평행평판의 유동에 대한 수정 플란틀 혼합길이(mixing length)이론의 난류모델을 속도분포와 마찰계수를 구하는데 사용하였다. 최대속도지점에서 안쪽과 바깥쪽의 두 속도형상들은 힘의 평형에 의해 매치(match) 시켰다. 그리고나서, 온도 분포와 열전달 계수를 계산하였다. 속도형상과 마찰계수들의 해석결과는 실험과 매우 잘 일치하였다. 마찰계수와 Nusselt number에 미치는 조도비, 조도에 대한 피치비, 그리고 반경비등과 같은 여러 변수들의 효과들을 조사하였다. 본 연구는 일정 임의의 조도 요소들이 전체적 효율 측면에서 볼 때 유리하게 열전달을 향상시킨다는 것을 증명하였다.

In this study, an effort has been made to analyze the subcooled boiling heat transfer in a natural circulation vertical evaporator. To verify the analysis, a small-scale model was made and tested. The friction correlation by Ueda, void fraction and quality correlation by Saha and Zuber along with the superposition heat transfer model by Rohsenow yielded a satisfactory agreement with the model test data. The analysis was extended to simulate a 1 ton/day concentration system. Comparison with the test results of 1 ton/day prototype revealed that the data were overpredicted by 13%. The capacity of the prototype was 1.2 ton/day with COP of 5.77.

The pneumatic driving system has advantages such as high output power per weight and low heat generation rate. However, it is difficult to control the position because of its strong non-linearity such as large friction forces compared to driving force, and heat transfer characteristics that change during operation. Therefore, in order to achieve the control objectives, a robust controller should be designed considering modeling error and model uncertainty. In this paper, a sliding mode controller is designed to improve the position control performance of pneumatic cylinder driving system. Experimental results show that the designed controller achieves the designed control objectives even if the model of the cylinder driving system, such as the initial pressure inside the cylinder and the initial position of the piston is changed.

The methods to prevent or suppress the initial failure of the sliding surfaces by the formation of the protection film during the manufacturing process were studied. Now it has been known that the surface protection film which was formed during the running-in process is mainly $Fe_3O_4$ and its film was formed only at the limited oxygen ability during the lubricated sliding. So it was tried to form the same oxide film before the sliding by heat treatment at 300$\circ$C with the wetted specimen by oil. The results show that a thin oxide film ($Fe_3O_4$) was formed on the surface beneath the solid oil film and the specimen with this film has much better friction properties than those prepared with heat treatment at 500$\circ$C and 700$\circ$C or the original one.

This work is focused on the boundary layer and heat transfer characteristics of hydromagnetic flow over a stretching sheet with variable thickness. Steady, two dimensional, nonlinear, laminar flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet with variable thickness and power law velocity in the presence of variable magnetic field and variable temperature is considered. Governing equations of the problem are converted into ordinary differential equations utilizing similarity transformations. The resulting non-linear differential equations are solved numerically by utilizing Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iterative scheme for satisfaction of asymptotic boundary conditions along with fourth order Runge-Kutta integration method. Numerical computations are carried out for various values of the physical parameters and the effects over the velocity and temperature are analyzed. Numerical values of dimensionless skin friction coefficient and non-dimensional rate of heat transfer are also obtained.

The Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) overlay welding method is lately introduced as one of the most useful surface overlay method of the engine component. In this paper, the overlay welding on the SNCrW heat resisting alloy was conducted by the PTA overlay welding process using the super alloy powder. The characteristics of the overlay layers were investigated through the metallurgical and abrasive test. Experimental results showed that the overlay on the SNCrW heat resisting alloy surface was successfully made without hot cracking. The friction wear characteristics of the Co-base Stellite 6 overlayer were most superior. However the abrasive wear characteristics were most inferior in the Co-base Stellite 6 overlayer.

Turbocharger bearings are under the circumstance of high temperature, moreover rotated at high speed. It is necessary to be designed to overcome the high temperature. So the type of oil inlet port, the inlet oil temperature and the sort of engine oil should be designed, controlled and selected carefully in order to reduce the bearing inside temperature. Therefore, in this study, the effects of the type of inlet oil port, inlet temperature and the sort of engine oil on the performance of a turbocharger bearing are to be investigated. It is found that the type of oil inlet ports, the control of inlet oil temperature and the selection of engine oil type play important roles in determining the temperature and pressure, then the friction and load of a turbocharger journal bearing at high speed operation.
