Characteristics of a counter flowing diffusion flame, which is formulated by an oppositely-injected methane-jet flow in a narrow channel of a uniform air flow. The location of the flame fronts and the flame lengths were compared by changing the flow rates of fuel. To distinguish the effects of the narrow channel on the diffusion flame, a numerical simulation for an ideal two-dimensional flame was conducted. Overall trends of the flame behavior were similar in both numerical and experimental results. With the increase of the ratio of jet velocity to air velocity flame front moved farther upstream. It is thought that the flow re-direction in the channel suppresses fuel momentum more significantly due to the higher temperature and increased viscosity of burned gas. Actual flames in a narrow channel suffer heat loss to the ambient and it has finite length of diffusion flame in contrast to the numerical results of infinite flame length. Thus a convective heat loss was additionally employed in numerical simulation and closer results were obtained. These results can be used as basic data in development of a small combustor of a nonpremixed flame.

A numerical study for a two dimensional multi-jet with crossflow of the spent fluid has been carried out. Three different distributions of mass-flow rate at 5 jet exits were assumed to see their effects upon the flow characteristics, especially in the jet-flow region. For each distribution, various Reynolds numbers ranging from laminar to turbulent flows were considered. Results show that a fully developed laminar flow exists above a certain Reynolds number whose exact value depends upon the mass flow rate distribution. AS the Reynolds number increases, the flow becomes transitional from downstream and finally a fully developed turbulent flow forms in the jet-flow region. The critical Reynolds number where the fully developed turbulent flow forms is quite dependent upon the distribution of mass-flow rate. One interesting result is that the distribution of the skin friction coefficient along the inpingement plate in the jet-flow region shows a consistent dependency on the Reynolds number, i.e. inversely proportional to the square root of the Reynolds number, regardless of flow regime.

Effervescent atomizer in which the liquid is ejected from nozzle with bubble caused by gas injection into the liquid is one of twin-fluid atomizers. Effervescent atomizer is operated with the lower injection pressure and the smaller air flow rate when compared with those of other twin-fluid atomizers. In this study, we attempted experiment study to investigate the atomization characteristics of effervescent atomizer related with the internal flow condition. The nozzle was made with acrylic material to investigate the nozzle internal flow. The macroscopic spray analysis was conducted with internal flow images and spray images. Furthermore, SMD was measured by using the laser diffraction method. According to this study, the internal flow condition changed from bubbly flow to annular flow as the air-liquid mass ratio(ALR) increases. At that time, the atomization characteristics were improved.

An oxygen sensor installed in vehicle exhaust systems enables to measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas, in which the measured data are collected and analyzed in ECU(Engine Control Unit). The oxygen sensor is exposed to the high speed exhaust gas at high temperature circumstance, so that protection caps are required not only to protect the susceptible measuring part, but also to provide the real time measurement without time delay. In this study, a new oxygen sensor with one protection cap was proposed, and the CFD analysis was carried out in order to compare the performance characteristics, such as flow speed and ratio of AOA(Age of Air), for the conventional and new oxygen sensor. The numerical results of CFD analysis provided the flow speed of 1.34m/s and the ratio of AOA of 3.43. The similar features obtained from the numerical results showed that the new oxygen sensor guarantees the same performance characteristics of the conventional ones.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate air-side convective heat transfer characteristics in a compact heat exchanger with flat tubes and continuous plate fins according to the aspect ratio. RNG k-$\varepsilon$ model is applied for turbulence analysis. Simulation results such as air velocity and temperature distributions are presented, and heat transfer coefficients are compared with previous correlations for circular tubes. The numerical conditions are considered for the aspect ratios ranging from 3.06 to 5.44 and Reynolds number ranging from 1000 to 10,000. The results showed that heat transfer coefficients decreased with the increase of aspect ratio. From the calculated results a correlation of Colburn j factor for the considered aspect ratio in the compact heat exchanger system is suggested. The predicted results in this study can be applied to the optimal design of air conditioning system.

본 연구는 음속/초음속 공기이젝터 시스템을 통하는 유동을 실험적으로 조사한 것으로, 이젝터 시스템의 2차정체실 압력-시간의 의존성을 조사하였다. 본 실험에서 적용된 1차구동 노즐은 총 6가지 형태로, 두 개의 음속노즐과 두 개의 초음속 노즐 그리고 페탈노즐 및 로브형 노즐이 사용되었다. 실험에서는 이젝터-디퓨저 벽면에서 압력을 측정하였으며, 2차 정실실의 체적이 이젝터 내부에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 2차 정체실의 체적을 변화시켰다. 그 결과 2차정체실의 체적은 이젝터 시스템의 정상 작동에는 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 2차정체실에서의 압력-시간 의존성은 2차정체실의 체적에 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 알았다.

Proper water management is crucial for the efficient operation of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Especially, for automotive applications, A novel water management that can avoid both membrane dry-out and flooding is a very important task to achieve good performance and efficiency of PEM fuel cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the liquid water behavior on the gas diffusion layer (GDL) surface and in the cathode flow channel of a PEM unit fuel cell under flooding conditions. For this purpose, a transparent unit fuel cell is devised and fabricated by modifying the conventional PEM fuel cell design. The results of water droplet behavior under flooding conditions are mainly presented. The water distributions in the cathode flow channels with cell operating voltage are also compared and analyzed. Through this work, it is expected that the data obtained from this fundamental study can be effectively used to establish the basic water management strategy in terms of water removal from the flow channels in a PEM fuel cell stack.

Flow visualizations have been carried out to analyze the characteristics of bubby flows exhausted from a venturi-type bubble generator with an air vent. For various design parameters and operating conditions of the bubble generator, the images of bubbly flows was recorded using a high-speed camera and a microscope. Then the amount and size distribution of bubble was evaluated by an image processing technique. The results show that for increasing the amount of bubble, it is more effective to reduce the venturi throat than to enlarge the air vent diameter. If the water flow rate increases, the bubble generation rate increases but reaches a status of saturation, whose condition depends on Reynolds number at a given air vent diameter. The bubble size increases as the diameter of venturi throat decreases and Reynolds number increases. However, the air vent diameter is not a significant factor on bubble size.

The solar energy has been widely used to reduce the fossil fuel and prevent the environmental pollution. The renewable energy including solar heat tends to spread due to carbon neutrality for main country of the world. Targets of solar collector are usually acquisitions of hot water or hot air. Especially, air-heating collector using solar heat is known as the technology for obtaining hot air. This study aims to investigate of characteristics of thermal flow when the hot air by air-heating collector using solar heat flows inside of indoor space. The thermal flow of heating indoor space was simulated using ANSYS-CFX program and thus the behaviors of hot air in indoor space were evaluated with standard k-𝜀 turbulence model. As the results, as the inlet velocity was increased, the behaviors of hot air became simple, and temperature range of 25~75℃ had almost no effect on behavior of flow. As the inlet temperature was increased, the temperature curve of indoor space from bottom to top was changed from linear to quadratic. Furthermore, it was confirmed that inlet velocity as well as inlet temperature also should be considered to heat indoor space equally by air-heating collector using solar heat.
