An underwater cutting pelletizer is disclosed wherein a water chamber is circular in plan, an inlet portion is formed on one side in a diametrical direction of the water chamber to introduce cooling water into the water chamber, and an outlet portion is formed on the other side in the diametrical direction of the water chamber to discharge the cooling water from the interior of the water chamber to the exterior, the inlet portion being in a divergent shape in an inflow direction of cooling water...

A tire HIL simulator is provided which is capable of, in a testing apparatus where a vehicle model is incorporated into a tire testing apparatus, reproducing the behavior of a tire which corresponds to the three-dimensional behavior of a vehicle, even if a three-dimensional vehicle model is used. As a device for resolving this, this tire HIL simulator includes a tire testing apparatus 2 and a controller 3 connected mutually. The tire testing apparatus 2 conducts a running test on a tire 4a using...
