The DPF temperature distribution which has a great effect on regenerating the ceramic filter effectively was measured at 30 locations using K-type thermocouples. Five partitioned electric heaters were used for heating the ceramic filter and they are switched ON/OFF in order. Also, the temperature distribution in the ceramic filter was measured with varying the electrical power supply to the heaters and the mass flow rate of the air supply from a blower. The uniform distribution of the air flow velocity at the inlet of the DPF make that of the temperature in the ceramic filter. The difference in heating ability between the partitioned heaters had a great effect on the temperature distribution in the ceramic filter.

Electrostatic precipitator that shows a good performance for the removal of particulate matter is important for controlling emissions from industrial facilities and power plants. The efficiency of the electrostatic precipitator on the removal of particulate matter is highly affected by the flow pattern inside the electrostatic precipitator. A number of studies have been conducted to obtain uniform flow distribution inside electrostatic precipitators. An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with a length of 3.5 m and a height of 0.875 m was designed and installed in this study. The ESP included an inlet duct, diffuser, body, and contractor. Three perforated plates were installed in the diffuser of the ESP. Five pitot tubes were installed vertically and used to measure flow distribution in the cross section of the ESP body. Root mean square deviation value (RMS%) was used to examine the flow distribution inside the ESP when the perforated plates were installed in the diffuser. Flow distribution was also investigated in relation to the porosity of the perforated plate. The results showed that the perforated plates improved greatly the flow distribution inside the electrostatic precipitator. In addition, the most uniform flow distribution was found with 40%, 50%, and 50% porous perforated plates located from the inlet of the diffuser.

Characteristics of bubbling behavior and bubble properties were investigated in a gas-liquid countercurrent bubble column of in diameter 0.152 m and 3.5 m in height, respectively. Effects of gas and liquid velocities and bubble distribution mode(even, wall-side, central or asymmetric distribution) on the bubble properties such as chord length, frequency, rising velocity and holdup in the reactor were measured and examined by means of dual resistivity probe method. The bubble size, frequency and holdup increased with increasing gas($U_G$) or liquid velocity($U_L$). The rising velocity of bubbles increased with increasing $U_G$, whereas decreased with increasing $U_L$. The uniformity of bubble size distribution and bubble holdup decreased when the distribution mode of bubbles at the gas distributor was changed from even to wall-side, central or asymmetric. The central distribution of bubbles was better than asymmetric mode but worse than wall-side distribution, in considering the bubble holdup and uniformity of distribution.

Cooling air-conditioning of APC (Agricultural Products processing Center) workplace is important to improve the working environment in the summer season. As existing cooling systems for air-conditioning of whole workplace are inefficient because of their high equipment operating costs, relatively inexpensive cooling system is required. The objectives of this study were to simulate the thermal flow fields in APC workplace having the positive and negative pressure type fan and pad systems and spot cooling system by using CFD software (FLUENT, 6.2) and estimate the cooling effectiveness of respective cooling systems. The results showed that the negative pressure type fan and pad system was inappropriate for the present APC workplace because of excessive outside air influx from open gateway and the positive pressure type fan and pad system created relatively low temperature field but non-uniform velocity field at worker positions. The spot cooling system could supply cool air to worker positions with relatively constant air velocity and temperature.

복단면 하도는 홍수소통을 위한 상부 하도와 생태계 서식처 강화와 유사이송능력 개선, 경제적인 유지유량의 확보 등을 도모하는 자연적인 저수로 하도로 구성된다. 그러므로 갈수기와 홍수기의 유량차가 큰 하천에서, 복단면 하도는 하천 공학, 환경 생태 관점에서 다양한 이점을 제공한다. 그러나 복단면 하도에서의 흐름저항, 조도계수, 통수능, 수위-유량관계, 횡방향 유속분포, 그리고 하상전단응력 분포는 단단면 하도와 상이하며, 중요한 차이점은 주수로부와 홍수터부 사이의 유속차로 인하여 발생하는 활발한 운동량 교환에 의해 추가적인 전단층이 생성되는 점이다. 주수로와 홍수터 사이에서 발생된 경계전단력(Apparent Shear Force, ASF)은 하천의 전반적인 통수능을 감소시켜 홍수의 하도내 저류효과를 증가시킬 수도 있다. 또한 주수로 및 홍수터가 분담할 수 있는 유량은 경계전단력에 민감하기 때문에, 홍수터에 수목 식재, 구조물 설치 등을 계획할 경우 정량적인 항력저항의 산정을 위하여 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 복단면에서 발생하는 경계전단응력을 추정하는 다양한 방법들이 개발되었으며, 각각의 방법으로 부터 경계전단력을 정량적으로 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 방법이 실험에 근거한 경험적 방법이므로 각 식의 개발에 사용된 자료에만 적합할 수 있는 한계가 있으며, 균일한 수로의 기하학적 변수(전단면과 주수로의 하폭비, 홍수터와 주수로의 수심비, 홍수터와 주수로의 조도비, 주수로의 하폭대 수심비 등)에 의한 식으로 구성되어 수치모형에서 직접 활용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복단면 경계전단력 산정을 위하여 개발된 다양한 연구결과들을 비교 검토하고, 기존문헌 또는 웹상에서 가용한 수리실험 자료들을 이용하여 각 방법에서 계산된 유량과 실측 유량을 비교함으로써 각 방법이 지닌 한계를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 검토된 5가지 방법은 Knight and Demetriou (1983)(이하 KD), Wormleaton and Merret (1990)(이하 WM), Cristodoulou (1992), Bousmar and Zech(1999) (이하 BZ) 그리고 Moreta and Martin-Vide (2010)(이하 MM)이다. BZ 방법을 제외하고 나머지 방법들은 전체 유량의 비교에서 5% 이내의 오차를 나타내었다. 그러나 나머지 4가지 방법 중 주수로부 유속의 비교에 있어서는 소규모 수로 실험자료만 이용한 KD 방법이 5% 이상의 오차를 나타내어 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 비교적 단순한 형태의 Cristodoulou (1992) 방법이 적용하고자 하는 수로의 규모와 무관하게 복단면 유량예측에 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

An analysis of convection, in a fully developed laminar steady flow through the vertical square duct under the condition of variational symmetric heat flux, is considered. Finite element solution algorithm by Galerkin's method with triangular elements and linear interpolation polynominals for the temperature and velocity profiles are derived for the vertical square duct. The comparison of temperature distribution due to variational symmetric heat flux in the duct were made with available the other data when the condition of peripheral heat flux were uniform and zero. Numerical values for the dimensionless temperatures and Nusselt numbers at selected Rayleigh numbers and pressure gradient parameters were obtained at a few nodal points for the vertical square ducts and effects of corner in the duct were investigated.

This paper deals with the experimental study on the characteristics of current in the ocean engineering basin of KRISa, The unsteady characteristics of the flow is examined by analyzing time histories of streamwise velocity at some points. The major frequency of the fluctuating velocity was found by the spectral analysis of the measured data. The vertical and spanwise distributions of time averaged velocities were also examined. Especially, vertical distributions of the streamwise velocities with guide vanes are compared with those without guide vanes and it confirms the effeciency of the guide vane to improve the uniformity of the vertical profile of streamwise velocity. Finally, the measured data are regressed to give the relation between revolutions per minute(r.p.m.) and mean velocity.

Textile printing prints around twenty bilion linear meters of textile each year. Rotary and flat bed screen printing requires pre and post treatments, leading to the loss of dyes and the environmental problems due to effluents. Digital ink jet printing can offer a solution to the existing problems, especially the environmental problems, in addition to its flexibility. Pigments are used as a dispersion inks in the digital inkjet textile printing. Molecular dynamic simulation like Stokesian dynamic simulation was employed to simulate the behavior of pigments and velocity distribution under the pressure driven flow in the printer nozzle. The simulation shows that the particle distribution in the flow are uniform if particle volume fraction is low, the ratio of nozzle and particle diameter is large, and the dimensionless average suspension velocity is low.

Open-channel flows with submerged vegetation show two distinct flow structures in the vegetation and upper layers. That is, the flow in the vegetation layer is featured by relatively uniform mean velocity with suppressed turbulence from shear, while the flow in the upper layer is akin to that in the plain open-channel. Due to this dual characteristics, the flow has drawn many hydraulic engineers' attentions. This study compares layer-averaged models for flows with submerged vegetation. The models are, in general, classified into two-layer and three-layer models. The two-layer model divides the flow depth into vegetation and upper layers, while the three-layer model further divides the vegetation layer into inner and outer vegetation layers depending on the influence of the bottom roughness. This study compares the two-layer model and the three layer-model. It is found that the two-layer model predicts better the average value of the velocity and the prediction by the three-layer model is sensitive to Reynolds shear stress. In the three-layer model, the mean flow in the inner vegetation layer does not affect the flow seriously, which motivates the proposal of the modified two-layer model. The two-layer model, capable of predicting non-uniform mean velocity, is based on the Reynolds stress which is linear and of power form in the upper and vegetation layers, respectively. Application results reveal that the modified two-layer model predicts the mean velocity at an accuracy similar to the two- and three-layer models, but it predicts poorly in the case of very low vegetation density.

The efficiency of a catalytic converter depends on the flow distribution across a system's chemically active substrate. If irregularities or non-uniform flow patterns exist, the system's conversion efficiency decreases, whereas the manufacturing cost increases. Therefore, it is important to analyze the internal flow of a catalytic converter. In this study, flow pattern measurements along the minor axis were recorded at the mid and exit planes of a ceramic honeycomb catalytic converter at flow rates of 37.8 l/s and 94.4 l/s. Flow distributions of the measurement plans were compared with an automotive company's computed velocity profiles. Measurements along the minor axis showed uneven velocity profiles. The ${\upsilon}$-velocity components between the honeycomb bricks were small but somewhat erratic opposite the intake side of the converter, however, they became flatter in measurements recorded near the intake entrance. For almost all velocity values, the computer model suggested velocities greater than the measured values.
