This study is aimed at controlling the fiber orientation and improve the fiber distribution in fiber-reinforced cement composites using blades that can be placed inside the existing nozzles. To optimize the blade parameters, multi-physics finite element analysis was performed that could account for the flow of the cementitious matrix material, the movement of the entrained fibers, and the interactions with the nozzle. As a result, this study defined the blade distance, length, and position as a function of the fiber length to be used in the field. The blades with a distance from 1.2 to 2.4 times the fiber length and length from 4 to 8 times the fiber length, as well as located at below 14 times the fzfiber length from the nozzle exit maintained the fiber orientation angle less than $5^{\circ}$. In addition, the blade-type nozzle proposed in the study can be attachable and detachable to the conventional casting equipment, and thus it can provide the usability and convenience in practical applications.

In this paper, a small supersonic wind tunnel is designed and built to study the flow characteristics of a supersonic impulse turbine cascade. The flow is visualized by means of a single pass Schlieren system. The supersonic cascade with 2-dimensional supersonic nozzle was tested for various blade leading edge shapes and gaps between the nozzle and cascade. Highly complicated flow patterns including shocks, nozzle-cascade interaction and shock boundary layer interactions are observed.

This study investigates the flow field of multiple-jet measured by hot-wire anemometry. The experiments were classified into two cases; 6- or 7-nozzle located circumferentially in equal interval without or with a central jet. The effect of the number of nozzles the flow field was examined when the Reynolds number based on the nozzle diameter is about $10^4$. Mean Velocity, normal and Reynolds stresses were measured in the downstream of jets. The Tollmien's theory holds far downstream at 48d apart from the nozzle exit especially when a nozzle locates at the center. The general flow characteristics is influenced due to the number of nozzles.

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.

A remote controlled sprayer has designed, manufactured and experimented to spray well on pear trees with pesticides. This study was executed to automate pest management of pear trees. Types of spray nozzle, which was used on the system, were analyzed experimentally to find an optimal spray equipment configuration with several nozzles. Attributions of ultrasonic sensors were analyzed to adjust spraying distance of an unmanned sprayer system. This paper investigated shapes of pear trees and cultivating environment of pear orchard. In order to select optimal spray environment, liquid distribution was measured while angle of nozzle was changed. Additionally, liquid distribution by distance and sprayed liquid capacity by side distance were measured. According to information of shapes of pear trees and cultivating environment of pear orchard, sprayer frames of an unmanned sprayer system were manufactured and sprayer frames were suitable for interval of pear trees. The sprayer system could adjust width of sprayer frames to 2.5 m and height of sprayer frames to 1.7 m. Optimal angle of nozzle, and optimal distance between objects and nozzle were $15^{\circ}$ and 0.8 m. When side distance was placed from 1.2 m to 1.8 m, sprayed capacity reached to the highest amount.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the performance of vehicle disinfector nozzles using at the livestock farm. The nozzle of vehicle disinfectors was measured spraying rate and equality distribution ratio by pressures. The spraying rate of TK-I's nozzle was 1,605 ml/min at 3 MPa, TK-II's nozzle was 2,020 ml/min, JA's nozzle was 1,150 ml/min and IS's nozzle was 795 ml/min. The number of nozzles of TK-I's, TK-II's, JA's and IS's for reasonable spraying rate($25{\ell}/min$. at 3 MPa) was respectively 16, 13, 22 and 32 units. The equality distribution ratio of TK-I's nozzle by pressures was equalized and the nozzles of TK-II's, JA's and IS's was sprayed to the center or side more then other sides in the measured boxes.

There are around 7,500 manure tanks to treat the manures from pigs in Korea. In the tank, there are too much sediments deposited on the base and wall, which causes low efficiency of stock capacity and manure fermentation. In order to minimize sediments and to ferment manure effectively, we developed a 2-fluid jet mixer for mixing sediments in liquid livestock manure tank. For developing the prototype, we tested a factorial experimental system with various nozzles, and simulated CFD models with two kinds of nozzle arrangement. From the results of factorial experiment and CFD simulation, we concluded the dia. ratio of primary : secondary nozzle should be 1:2 and the nozzles should be arranged at the same distances toward to the circumferential direction. With this results, we manufactured a 2-fluid jet mixer which is consists of four 2-phase nozzles, centrifugal slurry pump and root's type air blower. And, we carried out the performance test of the prototype in the round shaped liquid manure tank in the farm. The performance test results showed that the uniformity of TS (Total Solid) and VS (Volatile Solid) was raised from 21.3 g/L, 13.3 g/L In steady state to TS and VS to 23.0 g/L, 14.1 g/L in the mixing operation. Therefore, we could conclude that the prototype of 2-fluid mixer could make the solid material which could be sediments in the tank not to be deposited in the tank and to be contacted to air bubbles which could enhance the efficiency of the fermentation of livestock manure.

In this study, electric field analysis was conducted for each process as a preliminary step in the design of the electrospinning device to apply the electrospinning PVDF nanofibers to increase the filtering effect of insect screens. In the electrospinning analysis using a single nozzle, it was confirmed that there was a decrease in the electrostatic field strength as the tip's size decreased, an increase in the voltage, and no effect depending on the TCD distance. In addition, it was confirmed that the closer the distance between tips, the more electric field interference occurs, and this was found to have a more significant effect on the tip located in the center with tips on both sides. Therefore, based on these analytical results, it is believed that an increase in production speed can be expected by establishing an efficient process line by confirming the radiating area of the collector and designing the spacing between multi-nozzles through actual experiments.

In this paper, numerical results for 3-D supersonic turbine flow have been firstly compared with the experimental results to verify results computed by $Fine^{TM}/Turbo$. It was found that $Fine^{TM}/Turbo$ can accurately predict flow characteristics within supersonic turbine. Next, an grid system for 3D turbine flow was optimized selected through grid independency test. Finally the effect of axial gap between rotor and nozzle and chamfer angle of blade edge on the flow characteristics within 3-D supersonic turbine was analyzed with Frozen Rotor method.
