종래의 위보기 자세에서 용접은 중력이 모재의 표면으로 향하고 있어 용융금속이 중력에 의해 표면방향으로 흘러내리게 되어 용접 실시가 불가능하였다. 이에 Shield Gas Force, Trailing Gas Force 그리고 Ahead Gas Force를 적절히 적용하여 Position Welding에서 중력으로 인해 Molten Metal이 처지는 문제를 극복하여 생산성 향상으로 연결할 수 있음을 선행 실험을 통해 확인하였으나 기존의 C(Convergent)형, CP(Convergent Divergent)형 및 P(Parrallel)형 가스 노즐은 용접조건에 따라 실드 가스의 소모량이 많고, 토출되는 실드가스력이 부족하여 용접시 볼록한 이면 비드 형성을 위한 용융 풀을 효과적으로 제어 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동일량의 실드 가스 공급시 가스 노즐을 통해 토출되는 실드가스의 소모를 줄이고 실드가스력을 극대화하여 저가의 고생산성을 가진 친 환경 용접기술(Green welding)에 부합하는 CDP(Convergent Divergent Parrallel)형 가스 노즐을 제작하여 기존의 CP형 가스 노즐과 비교 분석하였다. 또한 Overhead Position에서의 비드형상제어와 Flat Position에서 방풍효과를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 CDP Nozzle은 CP Nozzle보다 동일한 유량에서 풍속은 3.5배, 냉각능력은 1.5배, 가스압력은 6.25배로 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있었고, Overhead Position에서 가스 유량을 동일하게 하여 용접하였을 때 CP Nozzle의 경우 오목한 이면비드가 나타났지만 CDP Nozzle의 경우 볼록하게 양호한 이면비드 형상이 나타났고, Flat Position에서의 방풍효과 비교실험에서 CDP Nozzle에서는 깊고 균일한 용입을 CP Nozzle에서는 불안정한 용입이 나타났는데 이는 CDP Nozzle의 경우 풍속에 의한 Arc Blow가 적게 발생하여 상대적으로 더 나은 용입을 확인하였다.

In this study, 5-axis machining was proposed as a method for manufacturing a nozzle with a curved shape, and flow analysis and structural analysis were used for structural validation of the manufactured geometry. The program used for CFD obtained the internal temperature and pressure distribution of the nozzle using STAR-CCM+ and used it as the boundary condition for structural analysis. For structural analysis, the commercial program NASTRAN was used, and stress was calculated using the von-mises technique. Based on the maximum stress value generated, the safety margin was 0.78 and the safety margin of the bearing stress was 46.8. In addition, the creep life was calculated as 9.97 x 1012 hours using the Larson-Miller parametric method and applying the maximum stress value of 187 MPa and the exhaust gas perfectly mixed temperature of 463 K.

In pressurized water reactors (PWRs), the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) upper head contains numerous control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) nozzles. In the last 10 years, the incidences of cracking in alloy 600 CRDM nozzles and their associated welds has increased significantly. Several axial and circumferential cracks have been found in CRDM nozzles in European PWRs and U.S. nuclear power plants. These cracks are caused by primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) and have been shown to be driven by welding residual stresses and operational stresses in the weld region. Therefore, detailed finite-element (FE) simulations for the Korea Nuclear Reactor Pressure Vessel have been conducted in order to predict the magnitudes of the weld residual stresses in the tube materials. In particular, the weld residual stress results are compared in terms for nozzle location, geometry factor$r_o$/t, geometry of fillet, and adjacent nozzle.

This work is on numerical and experimental studies on the new type igniter using aerodynamic energy. The aerodynamic igniter consists of a nozzle and a resonance tube. The supersonic jet from a nozzle coming into the resonance tube generates pressure oscillation between the nozzle and the resonator. This oscillation changes the kinetic energy to thermal energy in the resonator under a certain condition. In this study, sonic and supersonic nozzles were tested in two different resonators, results has been compared. And geometrical optimum values of a supersonic nozzle has been suggested to reduce aerodynamic loss and friction in the expanded surface of the nozzle.

A study on the variation of combustion characteristics by injector geometries was conducted. Coaxial swirl injectors were used. Existence of swirl chamber and variation of a nozzle length become key parameters. Injectors were identified as open, closed and mixed type by existence of swirl chamber. Variation of nozzle length was made extruding the both nozzle along the axis while other design parameters remain the same. A uni-element combustor with ablative material liner and a water cooled nozzle made by oxygen free copper with outer stainless steel casing were used.

For a cooling performance research of the combustor operated in a extreme environment of a high temperature and high pressure, we accomplished a cooling performance analysis. Generally a heat transfer characteristic in cooling passage is known well experimentally and theoretically, however heat flux in the combustion chamber isn't. In this study, fluid flow combined with heat transfer analysis is accomplished about a combustor nozzle. We tried to analyze the cooling performance with a heat transfer characteristic of a gas and coolant side in the view point of quantity on the mass flow rate to be supplied to the cooling channel. And finally, evaluation on the thermal safety of nozzle wall material was accomplished.

Rapid prototyping was used to design and develop a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold for tissue engineering application. In this study, the nozzle guide (TB-CP-HN, MUSASHI ENGINEERING, INC., JAPAN) used with the syringe of the polymer deposition system (PDS) was evaluated by measuring the scaffold line width and height. 3D scaffolds were fabricated using a biodegradable polymer called poly-caprolactone (PCL). The PCL polymer can be deposited from the needle of a syringe using a 200-${\mu}m$ precision nozzle, at a pressure of 600 kPa and temperature of $125^{\circ}C$. The advantages and improvements in this nozzle guide were addressed through washer scaffold fabrication. Overall, this research indicated that the fabrication of a complex-shaped scaffold using an enhanced polymer deposition system may have potential for tissue engineering.

In this study, the relations of flow rate, discharging distance and droplet size are measured in accordance with the nozzle shape. The dual type nozzles of LPN142 and LPN148, which have identical core diameter (6.0 mm) and the different radial injection angles (${\theta}_2=142^{\circ}$ and $148^{\circ}$), are manufactured. The distribution diameters with discharging distance are quantified by UL2167 test standard. The relations between discharging angle and droplet sizes, which are measured by the method of Helium-Neon laser equipment, are obtained by the empirical correlation as working pressure increase. Moreover, the extinction coefficient, which is major parameter of the radiative transport equation (RTE) is analyzed with variable droplet sizes. Thus, it is possible to opt the nozzle's shape by analyzing the relations of working pressure, spray distance, droplet size and fire characteristics at minimum allowable flow rate.

A three dimensional numerical analysis has been conducted to analyze the effects of a pipe angle, connecting a combustion chamber and a pintle nozzle, and pintle position on pintle nozzle performance. The compressibility correction of $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulent model was implemented to precisely predict the characteristics of complex flow structures inside a supersonic pintle nozzle. Due to an 3-D asymmetric pintle nozzle configuration, complex helical flow streamlines and large flow separations were observed, which resulting in significant nozzle performance losses. As the angle of connection-tube decreases, the coefficient of performance increases and Since the flow structures are evidently changed to the pintle stroke position, the performance characteristics was analyzed.

Although printing technology has recently been widely used in IT fields including displays and fuel cells, residual and thermal stress are generated by a manufacturing process of stacking the layers of the print head and result in the substrate deformation and nozzle plate crack, which may cause ink leaks or not be ejected onto a desired region. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new design of thermal inkjet print head with a robust and reliable structure. Diverse types of inkjet print head such as a rib, pillar, support wall and individual feed hole are designed to reduce the deformation of the substrate and nozzle plate, and their feasibility is numerically investigated through FEA analysis. The numerical results show that the maximum stress and deformation of proposed print head dramatically drops to at least 40~50%, and it is confirmed that there is no nozzle plate cracks and ink leakage through the fabrication of pillar and support wall typed print head. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed head shape can be applied not only to ink ejection in the normal direction, but also to large-area printing technology.
