The purpose of the present study is to elucidate flue gas recirculation device for reduction of nitrogen oxides using coanda nozzle without adopting additional power driving fan in a waste incinerator. The characteristics of the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate and the average temperature change at the outlet of the mixed gas were investigated according to the change of air supply nozzle gap and the position of air supply nozzle. When the gap of the air supply nozzle was changed to 3.22, 4.03, and 4.84 mm, the largest recirculation flow ratio, which is the ratio of exhaust gas recirculation flow rate and air supply flow rate, was 2.227 for the case with 3.22 mm and its mean temperature at outlet was $594.8^{\circ}C$. When the position of the air supply nozzle changes to the front position, neck position, and expansion position of the coanda nozzle neck, the recirculation flow ratios at the forward position and the neck position were nearly almost the same value, 1.843, and 1.696 at the expansion position, their mean temperatures were $559.8^{\circ}C$ and $544.3^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Experimental studies were conducted to characterize the synthesized nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) which is resistant to oxidation in the atmospheric environment. XRD, XPS, and TEM analyses revealed that the oxidation-resistant NZVI particles formed under various controlled air contact conditions (4, 8 and 12 mL/min) have shells with ${\sim}$5 nm thickness. The shells consist of magnetite (${Fe_3}{O_4}$) and maghemite (${\gamma}-{Fe_2}{O_3}$), predominantly. No substantial differences were found in the shell components and thickness among NZVI particles formed under the various air flow rates. On the other hand, shell was not detected in the TEM image of rapidly oxidized NZVI particles. NZVI particles synthesized under the various air flow rates showed similar TCE degradation performances ($k_{obs}$= 0.111, 0.102, and 0.086 $hr^{-1}$), which are equivalent to approximately 80% of those obtained by the fresh NZVI particles. TCE degradation efficiencies of the NZVI particles(fresh, controlled air contact and rapidly oxidized) were improved after equilibrating with water for one day, indicating that depassivation of the shells occurred. The performances of NZVI particles decreased to 90% and 50% of those of the fresh NZVI particles, when they were equilibrated with the atmosphere for a week and two months, respectively. The NZVI particles synthesized under the controlled air contact would have advantages over traditional NZVI particles in terms of practical application into the site, because of their inertness toward atmospheric oxygen.

Nitrogen oxide is generated by the chemical reaction of oxygen and nitrogen in higher temperature environment of combustion facilities. The NOx reduction equipment is generally used in the power plant or incineration plant and it causes enormous cost for the construction and maintenance. The flue gas recirculation method is commonly adopted for the reduction of NOx formation in the combustion facilities. In the present study, the computational fluid dynamic analysis was accomplished to elucidated the cold flow characteristics in the flue gas recirculation burner with coanda nozzles in the flue gas recirculation pipe. The inlet and outlet of flue gas recirculation pipes are directed toward the tangential direction of circular burner not toward the center of burner. The swirling flow is formed in the burner and it causes the reverse flow in the burner. The ratio of flue gas recirculation flow rate with the air flow rate was about 2.5 for the case with the coanda nozzle gap, 0.5mm and it was 1.5 for the case with the gap, 1.0mm. With the same coanda nozzle gap, the flue gas recirculation flow rate ratio had a little increase when the air flow rate changes from 1.1 to 2.2 times of ideal air flow rate.

대부분의 산업분야에서 사용되는 공업로는 연소 시 $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 고온 배기가스가 배출되고 있기 때문에, 이들 배기가스로부터 폐열을 회수하여 에너지를 절감하고자 열교환기를 사용하고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 금속 소재의 열교환기의 경우 사용온도가 $800^{\circ}C$로 제한되어 있으며, 산화, 부식, creep등의 문제가 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 소재의 열교환기를 제작하여 열전달율, 공기누설율등을 평가하는 성능실험을 하였다. 실험방법은 연소시작 후 정상상태에 도달하기까지의 경향을 알아보고 공기유량과 가스유량에 변화를 주었을 때, 열전달율과 공기누설율등을 평가하고 이론적인 데이터와 비교하였다. 실험 결과, $1300^{\circ}C$이상의 환경에서도 정상적으로 작동하였으며, 외부환경조건을 고려하였을 때, 이론적인 데이터와 근접한 데이터를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 대류열전달에 의한 열손실과 공기누설등이 문제점으로 지적되었다. 향후 연구에서는 대류열전달에 의한 열손실을 고려한 연구와 효과적인 씰링으로 누설을 줄일 수 있는 실험장치를 개발할 필요가 있다.

Since air compressor, as an essential equipment used in the factory and plant operations, accounts for around 20% of the total domestic electricity consumption, a real time sensor data monitoring based analysis for electricity consumption reduction is important. In particular, flow rates and pressures of these monitored variables has a direct correlation with the power consumption. This paper proposes a method to identify if the measurement error of the flow rate sensor comes from the sensor measurement limit through bivariate classification analysis of the flow rate and power using the EM (Expectation and Maximization) Algorithm and show how to enable more accurate analysis by the correlation between the flow rate and power on the right-censored data.

In this study, ethanol pool fire extinguishing experiments were conducted using a twin-fluid nozzle. Ethanol pool fires, 5.027×10^-3 ㎡ and 1.131×10^-2 ㎡ in size (80 mm and 120 mm in fuel pan diameter, respectively), were tested, and the flow rates supplied to the twin-fluid nozzle for fire extinguishing were 156-483 g/min and 20-70 L/min for water and air, respectively. The heat release rate increased with increasing fire source area, and heat release rates of 5.027×10^-3 ㎡ and 1.131×10^-2 ㎡ in size were measured to be 1.01 kW and 5.51 kW, respectively. For both fire source cases in the present experimental range, regardless of the water flow rates, the ethanol fires were extinguished successfully under the high air flow rate condition (e.g., above 40 L/min). On the other hand, under all water flow rate conditions, the fire extinguishing time and water consumption decreased with increasing air flow rate, which were approximately 23 s and 185 g under high air flow rate conditions (e.g., above 50 L/min), respectively. Based on the water consumption per heat release rate, the present experimental data were compared with the previous ones using a single-fluid nozzle, and it was found that the twin-fluid nozzle could extinguish a fire with a lower water consumption than a single-fluid one.

농산물 건조를 위하여 평판형 태양열 집열기를 이용할 경우 가열된 출구공기는 각종 농산물건조적온보다 일반적으로 고온이므로 이의 조절을 위한 출구공기 온도의 예측이 중요시 된다. 본 연구에서는 차원해석법(dimensional analysis)을 이용하여 평판형 집열기의 출구에서 나오는 가열된 공기의 온도를 예측하는 방법이 제시되었으며, 이 방법을 이용하여 집열기의 출구공기온도 예측방정식들이 유량별로 유도되었다. 이 방정식들로부터 구한 출구온도들은 실측한 값들과 잘 일치하였으며($R^2$=0.917~0.957) 또한 집열기의 효율을 나타내는 이론식이 출구공기온도 예측방정식으로 부터 직접 유도되었다.

Performance optimization of a small engine intake port has been studied through computational and experimental approach. Port angle, flange area and port shape are very important design parameters affecting performance of an intake port. Especially, radius of curvature of intake port inner surface has major effect on the flow coefficient of an intake port. As increasing port angle and flange area, flow coefficient is increased because pressure distribution and pressure gradient in the intake port are improved. Even though computational results over-predict maximum 8% compared with experimental result, they describe the tendency of flow coefficient according to the design parameters. Optimized intake port shows about 4.5% improved flow performance.
