Three-dimensional flow analyses for two different ratios of radius to height of sedimentation bed are implemented to evaluate the effect of blockage ratio of center feed wall and angle of distributor on sedimentation efficiency, and to find the optimal value of those parameters. Sedimentation efficiencies for three different shapes are compared with and without rotation speed. And then, five different combinations of blockage ratio of center feed wall and angle of distributor are compared It reveals that the effect of blockage ratio of center fled wall and angle of distributor is considerable to sedimentation efficiency while rotation effect can be neglected and $0.55 and 33^{\circ}$for blockage ratio of center food wall and angle of distributor, respectively, ive the best sedimentation efficiency.

The evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics for HFC-l34a in flat plate type heat exchangers with enhanced beads were experimentally investigated. Three plate type evaporators with different geometric condition of U-turn area were tested. Mass fluxes were tested over the range of 83kg/$m^2$s to 166kg/$m^2$s, and heat fluxes were varied from 4㎾/$m^2$ to 12㎾/$m^2$. Evaporation temperature was 5$^{\circ}C$ with inlet qualities of 0.1 to 1.0. There was no notable difference in the heat transfer coefficient by geometric variation of U-turn area, but the third plate with cross-ribbed channel at U-turn area was better than others in the evaluation using volume goodness factor comparison. Also, the mixtures of HFC-l34a and PAG oil was tested to determine oil effects on heat transfer and pressure drop. As oil concentration was increased, heat transfer coefficient was increased by 22~48% up to the 3wt.%, but decreased by 14~22% at the 4wt.%. The pressure drop was increased by the maximum of 100% as oil concentration was increased.

Jet pump in automotive fuel tank module is used to deliver fuel to fuel pump so that the pump is operated without aeration in suction side. In this study, three dimensional simulation model of jet pump is developed to understand performance variation over design parameters. Performance of jet pump is also investigated experimentally in terms of operating pressures. The experimental data is used to verify the three dimensional simulation model of jet pump. Verification results show that the three dimensional simulation model of jet pump is about 1% error with experiment. The simulations are conducted in terms of throat ratio and primary flow induction angle. As the throat ratio is increased, the flux ratio is trade-off at 3 times of throat diameter. On the other hand, as primary flow induction angle is increased, vapor pressure inside the nozzle is decreased. In summary, the results show that liquid jet pump has to be optimized over design parameters. Additionally, high velocity of induced flow is able to evolve cavitation phenomena inside the jet pump.

The object of the present study is to develop a high performance evaporator for automotive air conditioner. The experiment has been conducted on evaporative heat transfer coefficient inside a plate type heat exchanger with a sharp 180-degree turn flow. The test plates have different formed surface, cross-ribbed channel and elliptical-ribbed channel. Also experimental study has been performed to determine optimal design in elliptical-ribbed plate heat exchanger with different turn clearance. In addition to the above experiments, refrigerant behavior and surface temperature distribution in the plate heat exchanger were observed using color thermoviewer(infrared thermometer). In this experiment, working fluid was used R-12 and test conditions were as follows : (1) saturation pressure of $2.116kg/cm^2$, (2) mass fluxes of 40 to $70kg/m^2s$, (3) heat fluxes of 4,500 to $7,300W/m^2$, (4) inlet quality of 0.1 to 0.7. The results indicated that the evaporative heat transfer coefficient of an elliptical-ribbed plate heat exchanger was higher than that of cross-ribbed plate heat exchanger. Also optimal turn clearance in an elliptical-ribbed plate heat exchanger was determined.

This study was to investigate the adhesion properties of fancy veneer and base panels and formaldehyde emission of wood-based floorings bonded with urea-melamine formaldehyde adhesives. We focused on stoichiometric mole ratio of reactive functional groups. The urea-melamine formaldehyde adhesives were made at twelve different formaldehyde/urea-melamine mole ratios. The interlaminated shear strength and formaldehyde emission of wood-based floorings bonded with selected adhesive among these adhesives were examined. The results showed that the bonding properties were high and the formaldehyde emission was low as the adhesive consisted of stoichiometric mole ratio of formaldehyde/urea-melamine. Interlaminated shear strengths of HDF(High Density Fiberboard) flooring were over 14 kgf/cm² at all mole ratios. At the mole ratio of 1.0, HDF flooring showed low value of formaldehyde emission of 953 mg/L. Interlaminated shear strengths of Plywood flooring were high, 14.02 kgf/cm² at mole ratio of 1.4. At the mole ratio of 1.0, Plywood flooring showed low value of formaldehyde emission of 0.26 mg/L.
