A new concept of dieless sheet forming technology is proposed in this study to overcome the drawback of conventional dieless forming technology. For this purpose, dual points contact of the conventional punch system, which is a primary cause of surface defects, is replaced to single point contact using technology combined with fluid forming. It is expected that the advanced system may lead to easy displacement control of multi-punch elements, reducing surface defects, and increasing decision and forming limits. The reduced number of punch elements also saves the cost of the equipment. In addition, the new technology can be utilized for deep drawing as well as two- or three-dimensional curved surface forming, and thereby become multi-functional and multi-purpose differently from the conventional technology.

In this study, the performance prediction programs for centrifugal pumps are developed. To estimate the losses in the centrifugal pump impellers, a two-zone model and TEIS(two elements in series) model are applied to the program. The basic concept of a two zone model considers the primary zone that is an isentropic core flow and the secondary zone that has a non-isentropic region at the impeller exit. The flow goes through two different zones and is mixed out at the impeller exit and the mixing process occurs with an increase in entropy, a decrease in total pressure. The level of the core flow diffusion in an impeller was calculated using TEIS(two elements in series) model. The effects of various parameters which are used in this program on the prediction of head and efficiency are discussed. The correlation curves used to select the effectiveness of the primitive TEIS model were suggested according to the specific speed of the centrifugal pumps.

The primary aim of the present study is to propose new design formulae that can be used to evaluate the structural performance of breakwaters installed on container carriers under green water impact loads. A series of numerical analyses for green water impact loads inducing breakwater collapse have been carried out. The well-known fluid-structure interaction analysis technique has been adopted realistically to consider the phenomenon of green water impact loads. The structural behavior of these breakwaters under green water impact loads has also been carried out simultaneously throughout the transient analysis. A verification study of the numerical results was performed using the actual collapse incidents of breakwaters on container carriers. It would be expected that the proposed design formulae, based on the obtained insights, could be used as practical guidelines for the design of breakwaters on container carriers.

Experimental and theoretical researches about jet pump have been carried out by many researchers. Jet pump can be used for the transportation of solid materials, farm produce, and fishes. It is the purpose of this paper to seek optimal multi nozzle shape of the annular jet pump. Experiments were done for several jet nozzle areas, jet nozzle arrays and jet nozzle lengths. Water was used for both the primary fluid and secondary fluid. The efficiency curves for the annular jet pump having multi nozzles are presented in this paper.

Annular jet pump can be used for the transportation of solid materials and fish. The effect of mixing chamber on the characteristics of annular jet pump is sought in this paper. Experiments were done for several reducing angles of mixing chamber, and for several throat area. Water was used for both the primary fluid and secondary fluid. A vortex was observed for the straight mixing chamber, but it was not observed for the mixing chamber whose reducing angle is $18^{\circ}$ or higher. The efficiency curves for the annular jet pump are presented in this paper, showing the annular jet pump which has 240 reducing angle and $0.611{\sim}0.73$ value of At/As. is most effective among the tested several annular jet pumps.

An experimental test facility for the complete characteristics of pumps is constructed at KIMM(Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials). All sensors instrumented in test facility for measuring flow rate, pressure, force and moment are in-situ calibrated by primary method. This paper describes the test facility and test technique of the complete characteristics of pumps, together with an experimental test results for a reactor coolant pump which is designed at KIMM for the first time in Korea. The test results for the mixed-flow type pump of $n_s$=1.425 are presented by three curves: constant head, torque, and speed.

The ejector is a device which employs a high-velocity primary motive fluid to entrain and accelerate a slower moving secondary suction fluid. The resulting kinetic energy of the mixture is subsequently used for self-compression to a higher pressure, thus performing the function of a compressor. The outstanding advantages of the ejectors are simplicity and reliability. However the industrial use of ejectors has been confined mainly to very particular cases of operation. The experimental results obtained so far were insufficient to be made use of general cases. Large-sized modern ejectors, mainly driven by high powered air-compressors and designed for very wide ranges of operating conditions, cannot be based on the earlier research results, if we wish to be sure of the final outcome.

Hydraulic actuator is a primary component of the hydraulic valve systems. This paper describes a motion characteristic of hydraulic actuator with various configurations of cushion. It plays an important role in protecting the actuator from the shock when the piston reaches the end position. Numerical analyses were conducted by using commercial code, ANSYS with k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulent model. The results for pressure and velocity distributions in the hydraulic actuator with different cushion shapes were graphically depicted.

Ultrafine magnetite powder for the ferromagnetic fluid was prepared by an addition of alkaline solution to the solution containing Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions at 6$0^{\circ}C$. The optimum condition of the magnetite synthesis was delineated by examining such various physico-chemical properties as Fe2+/Fe+3 ratio in the powder, phase characteristics, MHC and $\sigma$max. A new scheme for the steric stabilization of colloidal dispersion was proposed using the concept of the buffer group action for the increased interfacial density of the stabilizing moieties at colloid particle/dispersion medium interface. The proposed concept was successfully applied to the preparation of the kinetically stable kerosinebased ferrofluid using Tween and Span as dispersants. In the dispersion of magnetite particles in a kerosine, Tween(polyoxyethylene sorbitan oleate) acts as a primary stabilizer which provides an anchor group, whereas Span(sorbitan oleate) can be classified as a secondary stabilizer which adsorbs on the surface of magnetite particle through the action of the buffer group. Dispersion studies using various quantities of Tween and Span supported the concept of the buffer group action for increased dispersion characteristics of the kerosine based ferromagnetic fluid.

Noise reduction for hydraulic pump is strongly demanded in the market with its efficiency and durability. In order to meet this demand, it is necessary to reveal mechanism for noise and relationship between the important factors. In this paper, mathematical model for cylinder pressure which is primary reason of pulsation and sound noise were established, and examined its pressure profile by simulation. Also, the valve plate of three kind types are manufactured and tested for piston pressure, pressure pulsation, and sound power level based on the tentative standard which is officially recognized.
