The existing theoretical models for steady two-dimensional free convective laminar film condensation of pure saturated or superheated vapor under atmospheric pressure on isothermal vertical wall have been reviewed. To investigate the effects such as inertia, thermal convective and liquid-vapor interface shear stress, the models of constant or variable properties in liquid film for condensation of saturated vapor are compared in detail with Nusselt model. Also, for condensation of superheated vapor, the effects of superheated temperature and variable properties in liquid and vapor layers are examined and then a new correlation is proposed to predict the heat transfer. The results are in good agreement with the Shang's correlation within 2% errors.

Laminar natural convection heat transfer from a horizontal heat exchanger tube with one infinitely long vertical plate fin has been studied by a finite-difference numerical procedure. In predicting convective heat transfer from a circular tube, the thermal boundary condition at solid fluid interface is usually assumed to be isothermal. However, in reality, the thermal boundary condition is not isothermal, and the tube has the thickness and the conductivity. So the temperature at the interface is not known a priori to the calculation. This problem has the conjugate phenomena which occur between the tube conduction and external natural convection, and between the fin conduction and external natural convection. Numerical results are obtained to determine the effects of the conductivity of solid wall and the thickness of tube wall on heat transfer. It is found that the conduction causes significant influence on the natural convection heat transfer at low K and high ${\delta}$.

This study has been conducted on touch screen interface design for mobile devices. It was intended to measure user’s satisfaction on one-handed thumb input mobile devices. Recent studies proposed the optimal touch button size, but it is inappropriate for mobile devices. Therefore, this study was focused on four touch key factors-width, height, the horizontal and vertical distance between touch keys-as independent variables. The ANOVA results showed that the user satisfaction of four touch key factors was significantly affected by the thumb input. It also apparent that the interactions between four factors were significant. As a result, the horizontal and vertical distance as well as the width and height affected the satisfaction of users. In addition, this study suggested satisfaction models which represent the top 30%, 50%, 70% of user satisfaction measurement. The results of this study could be used to design touch keys that are able to enhance the usability on touch screen based mobile devices.

The interactions between a granular pile and raft placed on top are investigated using the continuum approach. The compatibility of vertical and radial displacements along the pile - soil interface and of the vertical displacements along the raft - top of ground interfaces are satisfied. Results show that consideration of radial displacement compatibility does not influence the settlement response of or sharing of the applied load between the granular pile and the raft. The percentage load carried by the granular pile (GP) increases with the increase of its stiffness and decreases with the increase of the relative size of raft. The normal stresses at the raft - soil interface decrease with the increase of stiffness of GP and/or relative length of GP. The influences of GP stiffness and relative length of GP are found to be more for relatively large size of raft. The percentage of load transferred to the base of GP increases with the increase of relative size of raft.

In this study, a single Taylor bubble and a train of Taylor bubbles rising in a vertical tube were simulated numerically. A finite difference method was used to solve the mass and momentum equations for the liquid-gas region. The liquid-gas interface was captured by a level set function which is defined a signed distance from the interface. For a train of Taylor bubbles repeated periodically in space, the periodic conditions were imposed at the boundaries normal to the gravitational direction and the pressure boundary conditions were iteratively determined so that the computed flow rate should be equal to a given flow rate. Based on the numerical simulation, the calculated shape and rise velocity of a Taylor bubble were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature.

Multi-layered geotextile tubes may have problems on its stability when used as cofferdam. This study presents the shear strength characteristics at the interface between geotextiles and a cementitious binder material to improve the stability of the multi-layered geotextile tubes. In this study, two different types of geotextiles are used. After mixing with a rapid setting cement, fly ash, sand, accelerator, and water, the cementitious binder material is prepared at the interface between two geotextile samples and cured under water for a desired period. The specimen is placed on upper and lower direct shear boxes by using clamping systems. A series of direct shear tests for two different geotextiles are performed along the curing time under three vertical stresses. Experimental results show that the shear strength at the interface between the cementitious binder material and geotextiles is greater than that at the interface between two geotextiles. For two types of geotextiles, apparent cohesion occurs at the interface between the cementitious binder material and geotextiles. In addition, the friction angles for any curing time are improved, compared to the interface between two geotextiles. The cementitious binder material suggested for the interface between two geotextiles may be useful for the reinforcement of multi-layered geotextile tubes.

Numerical analysis is performed for the unsteady axisymmetric two dimensional phase change problem of freezing of water around a vertical tube. Heat conduction in the tube wall and solid phase, natural convection in liquid phase and volume expansion caused by density difference between solid and liquid phases are included in the numerical analysis. Existing correlation is used for estimating density-temperature relation of water, and the effect of volume expansion is reflected as fluid velocity at the interface and the free surface. As pure water has maximum density at 4.deg. C, it is found that there exists an initial temperature at which the flow direction reverses near the interface and by this effect the slope of interface becomes reversed depending on the initial temperature of water. By considering natural convection and solid-liquid density difference in the calculation, their effects on phase change process are studied and the effects of various parameters are also studied quantitatively.

In masive concrete placement, cracking problem due to hydration heat is frequently encountered. One of measure to solve this problem is to make a construction joint. However, it is cumbersome to make it by chipping the surface of joint. In this study, push-out test for 18 specimens was conducted to compare the interface shear strength of consturction joints whose surfaces were prepared with three methods; chipping, rib-lath, folded rib-lath. Compared to the specimens made with conventional surface chipping, those with rib-lathe showd excellent preformance increasing shear resistance capacity and the role of shear key conceived by folding rib-lath played important role in enhancing shear resistance.
