The feedwater ring is an assembly in steam generator internal piping, which distributes feedwater into the secondary side of the steam generator. It consists of an assembly of carbon steel piping, pipe fittings and J-nozzles which are inserted into the top of the feedwater ring and welded to the diameter of the ring. The feedwater ring at the attachment region of the J-nozzle may be susceptible to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) due to flow turbulence which increases local fluid velocities. If a J-nozzle becomes a loose part, it can cause damage to tubing near the tube sheet. In this paper, the structural stress analysis for a wall thinned feedwater ring and integrity evaluations under assumed loading conditions are carried out in compliance with ASME B&PV SecIII, NB-3200.

In this paper, we give another proof of Theorem 2.13 of [4] without using the sup property. For the homomorphic image $f(\mu)$ and preimage $f^{-1}(\nu)$ of fuzzy left (resp. right) ideals $\mu$ and $\nu$ respectively, we establish the chains of level left (resp. right) ideals of $f(\mu)$ and $f^{-1}(\nu)$, respectively. Moreover, we prove that a necessary condition for a fuzzy ideal $\mu$ of a near-ring $R$ to be prime is that $\mu$ is two-valued.

In this paper, we introduce the generalized ideal-based zero-divisor graph structure of near-ring N, denoted by $\widehat{{\Gamma}_I(N)}$. It is shown that if I is a completely reflexive ideal of N, then every two vertices in $\widehat{{\Gamma}_I(N)}$ are connected by a path of length at most 3, and if $\widehat{{\Gamma}_I(N)}$ contains a cycle, then the core K of $\widehat{{\Gamma}_I(N)}$ is a union of triangles and rectangles. We have shown that if $\widehat{{\Gamma}_I(N)}$ is a bipartite graph for a completely semiprime ideal I of N, then N has two prime ideals whose intersection is I.

The purpose of the present paper is to obtain commutativity of prime Γ-near-ring N with generalized derivations F and G with associated derivations d and h respectively satisfying one of the following conditions:(i) G([x, y]α = ±f(y)α(xoy)βγg(y), (ii) F(x)βG(y) = G(y)βF(x), for all x, y ∈ N, β ∈ Γ (iii) F(u)βG(v) = G(v)βF(u), for all u ∈ U, v ∈ V, β ∈ Γ,(iv) if 0 ≠ F(a) ∈ Z(N) for some a ∈ V such that F(x)αG(y) = G(y)αF(x) for all x ∈ V and y ∈ U, α ∈ Γ.

Tree-ring width analysis has been used to assess the effects of air pollution on tree growth around industrial complexes. Our study was conducted to elucidate the effect of air pollutants on annual ring growth in black pines (Pinus thunbergii) of age 41$\sim$48 years around Ulsan Metropolitan City. The growth data were analyzed by multiple regression and the results are as follows: 1. The annual ring increment of black pines increased with tree age until age 40 years and then decreased gradually after age 40 years. 2. The increment of annual ring width of black pines was affected more by precipitation and evapotranspiration than air temperature. An annual ring decline appeared in the years 1968$\sim$1983, when annual ring indices below zero were observed. Decreased annual ring growth during this period may have been due to air pollution. 3. The heavy metal with the strongest effect on annual ring growth of black pines in the experimental stand was lead (Pb). The concentration of lead in the stand was estimated as over 6 ppm. 4. The technique of tree-ring width analysis may be useful for estimation of the extent of pollution in forest areas near industrial complexes.

This paper aims at the problem that design the network of Rig-star type with the minimum cost, which the Ring is composed of the selected nodes(concentrators) among the several candidate nodes on the network and other nodes(terminals) is connected to the Ring by star subnetwork. Especially, we consider the terminal reliability in network design problem. We develop the heuristic algorithm for network design problem to obtain the near optimal(best) solution for problem. We use an add-heuristic method and 2-exchange method in developing the heuristic algorithm.

In this paper, defect formation in ring rolling is revealed by computer simulation of ring rolling processes. The rigid-plastic finite element method is employed for this study. An analysis model having relatively fine mesh system near the roll gap is used for reducing the computational time and a scheme of minimizing the volume change is applied. The formation of the central cavity formation defect in ring rolling of a taper roller bearing outer race and the polygonal shape defect in ring rolling of a ball bearing outer race has been simulated. It has been seen that the results are qualitatively good with actual phenomena.

This paper presents a numerical study of casing treatments on a centrifugal compressor stage to improve stability and the surge margin. High efficiency, a high pressure ratio, and a wide operating range are required for a high performance centrifugal compressor. In the present study, a ring groove arrangement was applied to the transonic centrifugal compressor. According to the numerical analysis using a commercial code ANSYS-CFX, the unstable phenomena limiting the range of the centrifugal compressors were compared with and without a ring groove. Although the ring groove decreased the efficiency, but increased the operating range by suppressing a flow separation at the leading-edge of the impeller especially near shroud part. Newly designed ring groove arrangement improved the compressor performance and increased the operating range of the compressor.

The notion of regularity in near-ring was generalized by the concept of b-regular and some characterizations of the same was obtained through the substructures viz bi-ideals in near-rings. In this paper, we generalize further and introduce tile notion of weakly b-regular near-rings and obtain a characterization of tile same.

In 1940, B. H. Neumann, working with a system more general than a near-field, proved that the additive group of such a system (and of a near-field) is commutative. The algebraic structure he used is known as a Neumann system (N-system). Here, the prime N-systems are classified and for each possible characteristic, examples of N-systems which are neither near-fields nor rings are given. It is also shown that a necessary condition for the set of all odd polynomials over GF(p) to be an N-system is that p is a Fermat prime.
