The effects of $NH_3$ flow rate and reactor pressure on Al composition and the interface of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure were studied. Equilibrium partial pressure of Ga and Al over AiGaN alloy was calculated as a function of growth pressure, $NH_3$flow rate and temperature. It was found equilbrium vapor pressure of Al is significantly lower than that of Ga, thus, the alloy composition mainly controlled by Ga partial pressure. We believe that more decomposition of Ga occur at lower $NH_3$ flow rate and higher growth pressure leads to preferred Al incorporation into AlGaN. The alloy composition gradient became larger at AlGaN/GaN heterointerface at higher reactor pressures, higher Al composition and low $NH_3$ flow rate. This composition gradient lowered sheet carrier concentration and electron mobility as well. We obtained an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure with sheet carrier density of ${\sim}2{\times}10^{13}cm^{-2}$ and mobility of 1250 and 5000 $cm^2$/Vs at 300 K and 100 K, respectively.

Corrosion failure analysis of the flow plate, which is one of the accessories of the plate heat exchanger in a district heating system, was performed. The flow plate is made of 316 stainless steel, and water at different temperatures in the flow plate exchanges heat in a non-contact manner. The flow plate samples in which water mixing issues occurred were collected. Corrosion-induced pits, oxides, and contaminants were observed at locations where two plates are regularly in contact. The EDS analysis of the surface oxides and contaminants revealed that they were composed of carbon, silicon, and magnesium, which came from chemical adhesives. The IC/ICP analyses showed that the concentration of chloride ions was 30 ~ 40 ppm, which was not sufficient to cause corrosion of stainless steel. In the crevice, a local decrease in dissolved oxygen occurs along with an increase in chloride ions, thus forming an acidic environment. These environments destroyed the passive film of stainless steel, resulting in pits. Moreover, contaminants formed a narrower gap between the two metal plates and inhibited the diffusion of ions, thereby accelerating crevice corrosion.

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo(Ti6246) alloy was investigated in both the $\alpha$+$\beta$ and $\beta$-phase fields by conducting compression tests over a strain rate range of $10^{-3}s^{-1}$ to $10^0s^{-1}$. The flow stress was increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing test temperature. The flow curves obtained at temperatures below 90$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited a flow softening. However, in the $\beta$-phase field, above 95$0^{\circ}C$, the flow stress increased monotonically with plastic strain approaching steady state values. Constitutive equations for the dependence of flow stress on strain, strain rate, and temperature were developed through the analysis of the flow curves.

The flow stress curve is usually determined via uniaxial tensile or simple compression test. However, the flow stress curve up to high strain cannot be obtained using these two tests. This study presents a simple method for obtaining the flow stress curve up to high strain via FE analysis, a simple compression test, and an indentation test. In order to draw the flow stress curve up to high strain, the indentation test was carried out with the pre-stained specimen using the simple compression test. The flow stress curve of Al6110 was evaluated up to high strain using the proposed method, and the result was compared with the flow stress curve of the uniaxial tensile test of the initial material.

A finite element method is employed fer a flow analysis of the melt spinning process of a non-circular fiber, a PET(polyethylene terephthalate) filament. The flow field is divided into two regions of die channel and spin-line. A two dimensional analysis is used for the flow within the die channel and a three dimensional analysis fur the flow along the spin-line. The Newtonian fluid is assumed for the PET melt and material properties are considered to be constant except for the viscosity. Effects of gravitation, air drag force, and surface tension are neglected. Although the spin-line length is 4.5 m only five millimeters from the spinneret are evaluated as the domain of the analysis. Isothermal and non-isothermal cases are studied fer the flow within the die channel. The relationship between the mass flow rate and the pressure gradient is presented for the two cases. Three dimensional flow along the spin-line is obtained by assuming isothermal conditions. It is shown that changes in velocity and cross-sectional shape occur mostly in the region of 1mm from the die exit.

In this study, the effect of the purification materials is analyzed and tested by Flow 3D and Hydraulic model test. Three dimension numerical analysis led from the research that sees abnormal form and the size back of the water purification material conferred the flowing water conduct inside the test channel against the test condition. Comparison it analyzed the flux distribution, a water depth of the channel which establishes the water purification materials the cross section, an interval of the water purification material, a conference with general channel, it change executed. As a result, the cross section ratio of the purification materials against and a flux change from the test which it sees. The interval of the purification materials in order to prevent three dimension that follows in decrease of increase and flux must decide an interval.

Some polymer materials including epoxy resin are being instead of porcelain for outdoor insulating materials such as insulators bushings cable terminators and surge arrester housing. And the largest problem to be overcomed is the tracking and erosion of the outdoor polymer material brought about by dry band arcing during prolonged exposure to contaminations. In this paper the effect of surface tension wettability flow rate of contaminants with varying surfactant content and frequency of applied voltage on the tracking breakdown of epoxy insulating materials were investigated. As the flow rate of contaminant is increased the surface resistivity is decreased and the leakage current is increased the time to tracking breakdown is decreased. It is found that time to tracking breakdown depends on the surface tension of contaminant that is difference of wettability. And as the frequency of applied voltage is increased time to tracking breakdown decreased.

An understanding of biomaterials' smart properties and how biocomposite materials are manufactured by cells provides not only bio-inspiration for new classes of smart actuators and sensors but also foundational technology for smart materials and their manufacture. In this case study, I examine the unique smart properties of bone, which are evident at multiple length scales and how they provide inspiration for novel classes of mechanoactive materials. I then review potential approaches to engineer and manufacture bioinspired smart materials that can be applied to solve currently intractable problems such as the need for "smart" body armor or decor cum personal safety devices.

Fluid flow and structural analyses of an electronic expansion valve (EEV) using CO2 as a working refrigerant are carried out to estimate the mass flow rate and maximum stress. An engineering sample EEV that the orifice diameter is 1.8 mm was fabricated. The mass flow rates were measured at various EEV inlet temperatures and pressures for several EEV openings using experimental heat pump system. The sample EEV has over 35 MPa burst pressure and the maximum mass flow rate of CO2 through the EEV increased to 100 g/s at full opening condition.

New insights about macro-step formation has been investigated. The phenomena of surface instability caused by the interaction between step flow and fluid flow was describe in mechanical way. The rotation of the seed crystal in a clockwise direction was applied with a speed varied from 30 to 200 rpm during the TSSG process on the Si- and C-faces 4H-SiC. The macro-steps were formed along the two specific directions at different locations on the crystal for each, i.e., [10-10] or [01-10] directions or both. From the results, it is suggested that the macro-steps were generated from the micro-steps by interaction between step flow and fluid flow during the rotation of seed crystal. Furthermore, The fluid flow could be effective to control the micro- and/or macro-step behavior during solution growth.
