Diaphragm compressor is widely used for hydrogen compression because it achieves high gas pressure without gas contamination. Diaphragm deflecting in the cavity with high pressure formed by an oil compression is the most important component in the compressor. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain deflection degree of diaphragm to predict the damage point of diaphragm. The objective of this study is to estimate the diaphragm's damage point through diaphragm deflection test by implementing with strain gauges attached on several radial points. Without gas compression, strain sum of each points varied as similarly as the variation of the pressure with respect to time. And while the motor speed was slower than 400rpm, the strain near the rim was larger than that of the center. When motor speed, however, was over 500rpm, strain became similar to that of the center and the rim. With gas compression, it was shown that the variation of the strain sum was delayed against that of the pressure and the strain near the rim was much higher than that of the center.

This study measured the mechanical and damping properties of EPDM compounds including fillers. Semi-reinforcing furnace black (SRF), high abrasion furnace black (HAF) and acetylene black were used as fillers. Dicumyl peroxide (DCP) were used as curing agents. The measurements were conducted using a moving die rheometer (MDR), durometer, universal testing machine (UTM), compression set and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The tensile strength and elongation at break increased with increasing SRF contents in EPDM compounds. However, they decreased with increasing the amount of acetylene black. In the inspecting temperature range, EPDM compound filled acetylene black had stable storage modulus. Furthermore, the tan ${\delta}$ of the EPDM compounds obtained was enhanced by compounding with acetylene black.

MR(magnetorheological) devices for vehicle applications requires the consistent control performance and the reliable operation. However, the corrosion of iron particles consisting the MR fluid can significantly affect on MR properties. This paper presents an effect of the MR particle corrosion on the performance of MR fluids such as shear stress magnitude which is directly concerned with control performance. As a first step, MR particles are corroded by water-calcium chloride solution. The resulting MR particles are examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and their molar ratios are analyzed by the energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). By dispersing the corroded MR particles into silicone oil, the corroded MR fluid is synthesized for evaluation of MR effect change. A rotational viscometer is adopted to measure shear stress magnitude. Finally, it is demonstrated how much the corrosion affect on performances by comparing the normal MR fluid to the corroded MR fluid, from which performance investigation of the MR devices containing the corroded MR particles will be studied in the second phase of this study.

Turbocharging is widely used in diesel and gasoline engines as an effective way to reduce fuel consumption. But turbochargers have turbo-lag due to mechanical friction losses. Bearing friction losses are a major cause of mechanical friction losses and are particularly intensified in the lower speed range of the engine. Current turbochargers mostly use oil bearings (two journal bearings and one thrust bearing). In this study, we focus on the bearing friction in the lower speed range. Experimental equipment was made using a drive motor, load cell, magnetic coupling, and oil control system. We measured the friction losses of the turbocharger while considering the influence of the rotation speed, oil temperature, and pressure. The friction power losses increased exponentially when the turbocharger speed increased.

VOCs emissions from industries cause the air pollution and odor. In the industrial facilities, the existing odor treatment techniques have limits and problems. In this study, the optimum essential oil and metal oxide selected by screening test. lavender oil, cypress oil and TiO₂ were determined by deodorant materials and those were blended by 5%, 45%, 10%, respectively. In addition, the result of batch type experiments depending on the dilution rate, injection, rate, temperature showed that the optimum condition of deodorant is 6 mL of injection rate, and 200 times of dilution rate and the removal efficiency increased in proportion with temperature. In addition, the activation energy was calculated from the rate equation, which appeared in the 3-4 times lower than conventional deodorants.

The global restriction on pollutant emissions and the soaring of crude oil price are expected to result in the change of future transportation system. Hydrogen is considered to be the leading candidate as an alternative energy source before other new alternative energy sources emerge. Scientists anticipate that hydrogen fuel gas turbine engine and fuel cell will be the power plant of the aircraft in the near future. To realize the aircraft powered by fuel cell system in the future, the technologies such as fuel cell with higher energy density, compressed gas or liquid storage system of hydrogen fuel, and efficient and lightweight electric motor have to be developed first.

This article presents the reduction of vibration generated by an automobile fuel pump. In order to analyze the vibration of the fuel pump, a simplified dynamic model is established, which is composed of a rigid rotor and a equivalent springs. The equivalent stiffnesses of the upper and lower assemblies are evaluated by the comparison of modal testing results and the finite element analysis. The stiffness for the oil film of the journal bearing is extracted by using Reynold's equation. In addition, the time responses for the vibration of the fuel pump are computed by using a commercial multi-body dynamics software, RecurDyn. Based on these results, some design suggestions are proposed to reduce the vibration of an automobile fuel pump.

The Toyota Production System (TPS) developed by Toyota Motor Corporation is a management principle and production method to improve values added thorough elimination of waste. Since the oil shock in 1970s, the TPS has drawn the worldwide attentions as a main factor of competitiveness of Japanese manufacturing system and has been studied and implemented in many countries regardless of size and types of industry. While the principles of the TPS system are known widely, the framework and the implementation methodology are rarely discussed, especially in the domestic companies. In this paper, the framework of the TPS system are developed as a view of the domestic practitioners and researchers, with which the introduction strategy can be developed as a guideline.

The parking brake embedded in track driving motor for driving an excavator is composed of wet type multi-friction discs. This type parking brake can be designed more compact because the combination of some sheets of friction discs generate great braking power, and also it has good braking characteristic and long life time because it works in the oil. In this study, we analyzed torque characteristic of the parking brake through simulations and performed experiments by use of 3-kinds of paper friction sheet manufactured by different pressing methods. And, we compared the maximum static friction coefficient and torque characteristic with the simulation results and confirmed the optimal manufacturing process through this result.
