Thesis Work

In Japan it is a common practice that the student at the senior year in engineering education needs to conduct a thesis work as a part of the graduation requirement. In most cases he or she becomes a member of a specific research laboratory where the professor provides a thesis project for the student to complete within a year. Engineering Clinic Program (ECP) at the Kogakuin University (KU) is an industry-academia cooperation program where the company provides a project for the students who work together as a team of four to five. ECP replaces the traditional thesis work for the graduation requirement. All projects in ECP coming from the industry are of open-end and of most advanced technology so that the students work on the real world problems just like the engineer in the company. The technical liaison from the company together with the faculty advisor guides the students, although they never give the solution to them. They should come up with some solutions to the problem within the limited timeframe and thus the creative ability and also management capability are cultivated. The students learn how to apply the knowledge learned at class to solving a real engineering problem. The problems the industry provides to ECP are of wide variety and also multidisciplinary in the engineering field. Among them, presented herein are two fluid dynamic problems handled in ECP in the past,: 1) development of accurate droplet measurements in intravenous injection pump, and 2) study of a journal bearing for Jet Pump. How these fluid dynamic problems provided from the industry were handled by the students with the help of the liaisons and advisors are described in this paper.

It is recommended that fluid dynamic problems related to specific phenomena of pulsating flow should be dealt with on the basis of non-dimensional parameters. Part I presents a survey of essential parameters. Recent research on self-induced pulsations and forced sinusoidal pulsating flow is reviewed. Investigation of the experimental results of these studies reveal crucial parameters, their correct choice and design. These few parameters are recommended as basic tools of analysis of more complex problems which are encountered in fluid flow measurement. In Part II peculiarities in flow and the behaviour of metering devices such as orifices, Venturis, or variable area flow meters are scrutinized. Some of these features, even under steady flow conditions, are not yet well understood. They should be fully explored in future studies as they may explain residual errors under pulsating flow conditions. Suggestions for future research are mainly concerned with flow conditions in the pipe line upstream of the metering device.
