Double slug interaction in downward-facing nucleate boiling was studied to investigate its effect on boiling performance. Two heating surfaces were individually controlled to apply heat flux while their boiling performance were measured. A slug generated from upper heater affect on lower heater to make convectional flow by suction following departure of slug. Moreover, it showed to reduce hovering time of slug bubble on lower heater because it could help bubble departure on lower heater. Meanwhile, a slug generated from lower heater affected on upper heater to make convectional flow by sweeping. However, it showed to increase hovering time of slug bubble on upper heater, because they collapsed to each other. So, the slugs from lower heater enhanced the boiling performance of upper heater with low heat flux condition, but reduced the performance of it with high heat flux condition.

연소실 내 공조현상으로 인해 발생되는 열음향 불안정성은 안정적인 연소시스템을 구현하기 위해 해결해야 하는 고질적인 문제로 제기되어 왔다. 열음향 불안정성은 크게 1차 2차 열음향 불안정성으로 나뉘며, 본 연구에서는 열음향 불안정성 중 2차 열음향 불안 정성의 천이에 관해 열손실이 미치는 영향에 대한 실험적 연구를 진행하였다. 2차 열음향 불안정성을 발생시키기 위해 한쪽 끝이 열린 1/4 파장 공명기를 채택하여 수직으로 설치하였고, 공명기 내부에는 예혼합 가스를 주입하였다. 또한 공명기 상단으로 발생하는 열손실 효과를 비교하기 위해 추가적으로 외부 동축류 관을 설치하였다. 연료 농후조건의 예혼합 가스만을 채택하여 주입하였기 때문에 동축관 에 주입되는 기체에 따라 공명기 상부에 추가적인 확산화염이 형성될 수 있다. 그 결과 확산화염이 발생되었을 경우 공명기 상단으로의 열손실이 감소하며 2차 열음향 불안정성이 발현되었으며, 확산화염이 억제되어 공명기 상단으로의 열손실이 증가하였을 경우 2차 열음향 불안정성의 발현이 억제되는 결과를 도출하였다.

This paper reports slug bubble dynamics on modified surface with two-dimensional graphene film in downward-facing nucleate boiling. Behaviors of slug bubbles were observed with high speed camera, and post-processing was followed to measure departing speed, frequency, and diameter of slug bubbles, which were important to analyze boiling performance change. The graphene-modified surface showed enhanced boiling heat transfer coefficient (BHTC) and critical heat flux (CHF). The effect of surface modification on slug bubble dynamics was quantitatively analyzed; bigger slugs departed from the modified surface with faster speed but same frequency, compared with the bare. It seems that the BHTC enhancement is caused by increase of bubble diameter, resulting in increase of its departing speed. The higher speed of departing bubble could extend the hydrodynamic limit of vapor removal from downward-facing surface, so that CHF performance could be enhanced.

This paper reports an uncertainty analysis of quantitative visualization methodology for slug bubble dynamics in downward-facing nucleate boiling condition. Measurement of dynamics of slug bubble, i.e. departing speed, frequency, and diameter, is very important to predict safety margin of thermal systems in moving vehicle. By employing high speed visualization and post-processing, we quantitatively measured the volume and location of slug bubble, so that vapor generation rate and departing speed data were derived from their time differentiation. As a visualization methodology, its reliability was evaluated via uncertainty analysis. For 95% confidence interval, uncertainty of vapor generation rate and departing speed were 3% and 2%, respectively, and which were one order lower than standard deviation of those data.

Background: Scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS) is a common scapular alignment impairment that causes insufficient upward rotation and muscle imbalance, shortened levator scapulae (LS) and rhomboid, and lengthened serratus anterior (SA) and trapezius. A modified shrug exercise (MSE), performing a shrug exercise with the shoulders at 150° abduction, is known as an effective exercise to increase scapular stabilizer muscle activation. Previous studies revealed that scapular exercise are more effective when combined with trunk stabilization exercises in decreasing scapular winging and increasing scapular stabilizer muscle activation. Objects: The purpose of our study was to clarify the effect of MSE with or without trunk stabilization exercises in subjects with SDRS. Methods: Eighteen volunteer subjects (male=10, female=8) with SDRS were recruited for this experiment. All subjects performed MSE under 3 different conditions: (1) MSE, (2) MSE with an abdominal draw-in maneuver (ADIM), and (3) MSE with an abdominal expansion maneuver (AEM). The muscle thickness of the lower trapezius (LT) and the SA were measured using an ultrasonography in each condition. Electromyography (EMG) data were collected from the LT, LS, SA, and upper trapezius (UT) muscle activities. Data were statistically analysed using one-way repeated analysis of variance at a significance level of .05. Results: The muscle thickness of the LT and the SA were the significant different in the MSE, MSE with ADIM (MSE+ADIM) and MSE with AEM (MSE+AEM) conditions (p<.05) In both LT and SA, the order of thick muscle thickness was MSE+AEM, MSE+ADIM, and MSE alone. No significant differences were found in the EMG activities of the SA, UT, LS, and LT in all condition. Conclusion: In conclusion, MSE is more beneficial to people with SDRS when combined with trunk stabilization exercises by increased thickness of scapular stabilizer muscles.

This study was discussed with the friction effects due to surface roughness of the interface between the base material and a reinforcement at the downward inclined interfacial crack under shear loading. The fracture parameter are analyzed by finite element method of the ANSYS. As the friction coefficient of the surface is assumed zero and 0.3, the fracture is analyzed. This study was analyzed with inclination angles about 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. As the results, at the inclination angle of 0, the energy release rate is reduced by about 3%. About 16%, and 2% are decreased at 45 degree and 90 degree respectively. If the inclination angle is 45 degrees, the friction effect by the sliding resistance between the interface was found to be most effective.

This study discusses the length effect of the downward inclined surface to apply the inclined interface surface design of the composite material under shear loading. The fracture parameter is analyzed by finite element method of the ANSYS. If the negative shear displacement is applied, energy release rate is reduced further to about the increasing inclined length, and the positive shear displacement applied, it had increased rather. If the negative shear displacement is applied, the reduction in the energy release rate in crack tip is found to be affected by the reduction in shear stress. If the positive shear displacement is applied, the increasing in the energy release rate in the crack tip is found to be affected by the increase in shear stress.

PURPOSES: In this paper, the effectiveness of speed-maintained standardization in road geometry on environmental impact at a downward slope location, based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission indicators, was studied. Specifically, the aim of this study was to ascertain whether speed-maintained standardization resulted in decreased CO2 emissions as well as noise pollution, due to reduced vehicle speeds. METHODS : In this study, speed-maintained standardization in road geometry was proposed as a means to reduce vehicle speeds, with a view to reducing CO2 emissions and noise pollution. This technique was applied at a downward slope location. The vehicle speeds, CO2 emissions, and noise levels before and after application of speed-maintained standardization were compared. RESULTS: It was found that speed-maintained standardization was effective as a means to reduce speed, as well as CO2 emissions and noise pollution. By applying speed-maintained standardization, it was confirmed that vehicle speeds were reduced consistently. As a result, CO2 emissions and noise levels were decreased by 9% and 11%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : This study confirmed that speed-maintained standardization in road geometry is effective in reducing vehicle speeds, CO2 emissions, and noise levels. Moreover, there is further scope for the application of this method in the design of roads in urban and rural areas, as well as in the design of highways.

In this study, the effect of downward inclined interface about interfacial crack of bimaterials are discussed. The fracture parameter are analyzed by finite element method of the ANSYS. The energy release rates, displacement jump and stress distribution were analyzed as the gradient variation of inclined interfaces. As a results, in case of positive shear displacement was applied, the energy release rates not varied with gradient of inclined interface increasing. However in case of negative shear displacement was applied, the energy release rates decreased with gradient of inclined interface increasing. Due to the inclined interface contact, the shielding effect relatively increased as the gradient of inclined interface was increased.

The purposes of the current study were to (1) estimate the inter-rater agreement for visual assessment of scapular downward rotation (SDR), (2) develop the scapular downward rotation index (SDRI) as a method to measure SDR objectively and quantitatively, and (3) analyze the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the SDRI. Twenty subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS) were recruited for this study. The visual assessment and the measurement for the SDRI were conducted by two examiners in two sessions each. The SDRI [(a-b)÷a×100] is calculated with the measurement of two linear distances: One is a perpendicular distance from the root of the scapular spine to the thoracic mid-line (a), and the other is a perpendicular distance from the inferior angle of the scapula to the thoracic mid-line (b). Cohen’s kappa coefficient was calculated to estimate the inter-rater agreement for visual assessment. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), the standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable differences were calculated to assess intra- and inter-rater reliability of SDR measurement using the SDRI. The results indicated that the kappa coefficient of inter-rater agreement for visual assessment was fair (κ=.21). The intra-rater reliability of SDR measurement using the SDRI was excellent for examiner 1 (ICC=.92, 95% CI=.78∼.97) and good for examiner 2 (ICC=.82, 95% CI=.55∼.93). The inter-rater reliability was moderate (ICC=.73, 95% CI=.32∼.89). These findings showed that SDR measurement using the SDRI for subjects with SDRS may be considered reliable and better than the visual assessment.

목적: 근시진행을 지연시키기 위해 누진가입도렌즈를 착용하는 어린이의 독서시 하방편위량이 근시진행에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 방법: 근시성 어린이 80명(8~12세, 구면굴절이상도 -0.50D~-5.00D)을 대상으로 누진가입도렌즈(42명)와 단초점렌즈(38명)를 무작위로 착용시켰다. 안경착용 1주 후, 2주 후 및 4주 후 카메라를 이용하여 근거리작업시 하방편위량을 측정하였다. 6개월 후 굴절이상도와 안축장의 변화와 독서시 하방편위량의 상관성을 분석하였다. 결과: 누진가입도렌즈 착용군의 근거리작업 시 하방편위량은 평균 7.14±1.19 mm였으며, 하방편위량이 클수록 6개월 동안 굴절이상도의 변화량이 적고(r=0.52, p=0.00), 안축장의 변화량도 적은 것으로 나타났다(r=-0.47, p=0.00). 6개월 간 근시진행도는 누진가입도렌즈 착용군에서 -0.25±0.22D, 단초점렌즈 착용군에서-0.37±0.23D로 유의한 차이가 있었고(p=0.02), 안축장의 변화는 누진가입도렌즈 착용군에서 0.13±0.10 mm, 단초점렌즈 착용군에서 0.19±0.14 mm로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p=0.03). 결론: 어린이에게 6개월 동안 누진가입도렌즈를 착용시켰을 때 단초점렌즈와 비교하여 근시진행이 지연 되었고, 독서시 하방편위량이 클수록 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 누진가입도렌즈의 착용 효과를 높이기 위해서는 독서시 충분한 하방주시가 이루어지도록 교육하는 것이 중요하다고 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quantitative data of downward pulling tension in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS) before and after 6-week self scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) program. Eleven subjects with bilateral SDRS. The downward pulling tension(DPT) was measured digital tension-meter. The tension force data were collected using a surface electromyography before and after a 6-week self-scapular SURE program. The significance of difference between pre- and post-program was assessed using a paired t-test, with the level of significance set at =.05. The results showed that significant differences between pre- and post-SURE program were found for DPT (p<.05). These findings suggest that 6-week self SURE program is effective for reducing DPT in subjects with SDRS. Additionally, our DPT measurement can be useful for maintaining shoulder position and providing quantitative data between pre- and post-SURE program during passive correction of scapular position test.

In the present study we examine physical characteristics of a thin and rigid magnetic flux tube with a steady flow inside, which is embedded vertically upward in the solar atmosphere. We found from this study that (1) The downward material flow gives rise to a dominant heating in the flux tube which works with the conductive heating in the same direction. However, the upflow flow creates a dominant cooling which works against the conductive heating, resulting in a steeper temperature gradient with a shallower transition region. (2) Since the thickness of the transition region determines the material content in the transition region, a broader transition region of the downflow tube produces a larger differential measure.

The vertical structure of atmosphere was observed to investigate the variation of surface ozone concentration by vertical downward mixing of residual ozone in the atmospheric boundary layer at the Busan coastal area. Airsonde and pilot balloon measurements were made at Gamcheondong and the Kimhae airport for April 26∼27, 1996. The vertical profile of potential temperature showed a residual layer between 510m and 1800m from 2100LST April 26 to 0900LST April 27. The downward mixing of ozone in the residual layer of the atmospheric boundary layer was confirmed from vertical profile of mixing ratio near 600m in the morning. The thickness of the sea breeze layer was 900m at 1500LST April 26. Thereafter, it become to be lowered with time. A low level jet was measured near 900m at 0300LST on April 27 from a pibal measurement. Early morning sharp increase of surface ozone concentration at the Busan coastal area was caused by vertical downward mixing of ozone concentration rather than by photochemical reaction in the atmospheric boundary layer.
