Polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is expected to applications for various usages such as a power source for small robots and personal computers because PEFC has high energy density and can generate electric power under low temperature environment. As the application, swimming fish robots with PEFC are useful for various usages such as ecological investigation in water etc. In the case that rechargeable batteries are used for supplying electricity to robots, they are not able to continue swimming for a long time because of low energy density of the batteries. Therefore, a small and ultra-light passive-type polymer electrolyte fuel cell called "Power Tube" has been developed. On the basis of this fuel cell technology, the authors have created low energy consumption small fish robots powered by Power Tubes on a float or a buoy. The fish robot with a float swims for approximately 50 minutes by only Power Tubes with a voltage booster and the other fish robot with a submersible system can also swim for about 50 minutes by a hybrid system of a lithium polymer battery and Power Tubes.

A diesel fuel breakup model was developed in the framework of the three-dimensional fluid dynamics code KIVA-3V and validated with experimental data. This breakup model accounts for cavitation bubble collapse energy, turbulent kinetic energy, and aerodynamic forces on the liquid core. The primary breakup time is computed by a balance between surface tension of the liquid core and the breakup forces obtained as aerodynamic force and breakup force based on cavitation bubble collapse. The calculated diameter of the child droplet is based on the liquid core surface wavelength, which is caused by fluctuating turbulence velocities. At the time of primary breakup, a child droplet uses its turbulent energy to determine the ensuing trajectory. Hence, the proposed Cavitation Bubble Collapse Energy Breakup (CEB) model is capable of predicting the spray cone angle. Generation of child droplets as a result of primary breakup continues until all cavitation bubbles have totally collapsed. Subsequently, the Taylor Analogy Breakup (TAB) model is used for secondary droplet breakup. Model predictions of spray tip penetration, spray cone angle, and Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) have been found in good agreement with experimental data for non-evaporating sprays under high injection pressure.

The purpose of this study is to establish a practical method based on a chemical kinetic model for three-dimensional numerical analysis of the combustion process in direct-injection diesel engines. For saving computational time, a reduced elementary reaction scheme for diesel fuel was constructed. The basis was the Golovitchev detailed elementary reaction scheme. Using an original engine combustion simulation code GTT-CHEM along with the reduced elementary reaction scheme, the combustion process was three-dimensionally analyzed in a direct-injection diesel engine with high-EGR ratios.As a result, the combustion process and NO emission were quantitatively predicted by estimating the initial gas state and the initial composition appropriately. The emission tendency of soot was reasonably assessed by means of φ-T maps.
