As a potential clean energy resource, the production and consumption of hydrogen gas are expected to gradually increase, so that hydrogen related studies are also increasing. The thermal and chemical properties of hydrogen result in its high flammability; in particular, there is a high risk if leaks occur within an enclosed space. In this study, we applied the computational fluid dynamics method to conduct a numerical study on the leakage behavior of hydrogen gas and compared these numerical study results with an experimental study. The leakage hole diameter was selected as an important parameter and the hydrogen gas dispersion behavior in an enclosed space was investigated through various analytical methods. Moreover, the flammable regions were investigated as a function of the leakage time and leakage hole size. We found that the growth rate of the flammable region increases rapidly with increasing leakage hole size. We also investigated the relation between the mass flow rate and the critical time when the hydrogen gas reaches the ceiling. The analysis of the monitoring points showed that the hydrogen gas dispersion behavior is isotropic and independent of the geometry. We found that the concentration of gas in an enclosed space is affected by both the leakage flow rate and amount of gas accumulated in the enclosure.

The charateristics of the convective mass transfer in horizontal rectangular enclosure with horizontal concentration gradients are analyzed. The effect of Grashof number(Gr) and aspect ratio(L/H) is investigated numerically using the control-volume method. Numerical results are obtained for Grashof numbers between $10^4$ and $10^6$ aspect ratios from 1 to 100 and results are compared with existing andlytical results. It is found that there exists a well defined aspect ratio for which the mean Sherwood number is maximum and the core flow changes from parallel to non-parallel at $Gr^2{Sc^2}(A^{-3}}{\geq}{10^5}$ and in the Ralongrightarrow0 regime the numerical results agreed very well with correlation derived from analytical results.

In recent years, as the number of death in accidents have increased in the working environment, the safety issue has emerged as an important social issue. Despite efforts to reduce safety accidents through many existing safety-related policies and systems, accident prevention is limited. Accident prevention services using IoT technology have been commercialized recently and the effect is very high. In this study, IOT technology is used to investigate the latest cases of reducing death accidents in the work environment.

Natural convection in trapezoidal sections of cavity was numerically investigated using a Finite Volume Method. Temperatures of the upper inclined and lower horizontal walls are constant, with vertical side walls being insulated. When the top wall is hotter than the bottom one, a single cell of stratified flow field is obtained and heat transfer occurs only by conduction. For the colder top wall, bifurcation solutions are obtained for the higher Rayleigh numbers, while unique solutions for lower values. Flow structure is strongly dependent on the configuration and the Rayleigh number.

In the present study, DOM and FVM have been used to analyze the radiative heat transfer in an axisymmetric cylindrical enclosure with obstacles. Heat flux distributions on the wall of enclosure form DOM and FVM are compared to those from simplified zone analysis for a nonparticipating medium. The comparison of DOM and FVM is also presented. Results show that there is a good agreement between FVM and simplified zone analysis. In addition, the effect of the thickness of the obstacle on the results is considered. Heat flux distribution on the surface of the obstacle is also presented.

A numerical study has been performed to investigate two dimensional natural convection heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure with heat sources of constant temperature at the bottom. Calculations were made for various dimensionless heat source lengths, W/L=0.1-0.5, and positions of heat sources at $Gr=2.57{\times}10^6$, Pr=0.71 and Ks/Kf=28.98. For various positions of heat sources, the maximum local Nusselt numbers generally show X=0.81-0.85 at the bottom and X=0.23 at the top. For various dimensionless heat source lengths, the maximum local Nusselt numbers at the bottom show W/L=0.4 for one heat source, W/L=0.2 for two heat sources with fixed centers, W/L=0.5 for two heat sources with moved centers. Finally the maximum heat transfer at the bottom exhibits in condition of W/L=0.4 for two heat sources with moved centers.

본 논문에서는 뉴로-퍼지 제어기를 이용하여 밀폐공간에서의 능동 소음 제어기를 구현하였다. 능동 소음 제어기는 잡음에 의하여 왜곡된 신호로부터 잡음을 제거하여 원 신호를 복원하는 제어시스템이다. 일반적으로 잡음의 특성이 시간에 따라 변화라고, 전달특성이 비선형적이므로 고정된 제어기에 의해서는 제어할 수 없다. 이 논문에서는 뉴로-퍼지 제어기를 사용하여 파라미터를 오차 역전파 학습을 통하여 변화시킴으로써 잡응의 특성에 효과적을 적응하는 능동 소음 제어기를 구성하였다. 원신호는 음성신호를 사용하였으며 실제 소음과 소음 전달경로인 1차경로를 통과한 왜곡된 소음은 실험에 의해 얻은 데이터를 사용하였다. 제어신호의 전달경로인 2차경로는 100[kHz]에서 1[kHz]까지의 주파수 특성을 고려하여 curve fitting 방법을 사용하여 4차로 모델링한 결과를 사용하였다. 제안한 능동 소음 제어기의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

In the present study, an experimental study of natural convection in a partitioned 2D square enclosure has been carried out. The square enclosure consist of two adiabatic vertical walls and the upper cold and the lower hot walls. A partition is positioned perpendicularly at the center of the left vortical insulated wall. The PIV measurements were performed with the variations of Rayleigh number, partition length and inclination of the enclosure. The working fluid is water with Prandtl number of 6.996 at 20$\^{C}$. The captured images were analyzed by using a cross-correlation (two-frame/single-exposure) PIV method.

Effect of a solid insert on thermal stratification in the natural convection enclosure is numerically investigated. The enclosure consists of two differently heated vertical walls and two adiabatic horizontal walls. A solid insert is located in the middle of the enclosure. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by using the SIMPLER algorithm. The computations are carried out with the variations of thermal conductivity, width and height of the solid insert. The Prandtl number of the fluid in an enclosure is fixed at Pr=0.71, Two cases of Rayleigh number are considered in the present study, i.e., Ra:10$^3$ and 10$^{6}$ . The thermal stratification attenuates as thermal conductivity, width, and height of the solid insert are increased. As the thermal conductivity ratio of a solid insert to fluid increases beyond (equation omitted)10$^3$, the thermal stratification ratio shows an asymptotic value.
