원자력발전소의 안전성 향상을 목적으로 신형원자로 안전주입계통의 축압기 설계에 적용이 고려되고 있는 피동적 유량조절 장치인 vortex 밸브의 유동장을 해석하여 밸브의 특성에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자들을 도출하고 이 인자들의 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 Vortex 밸브의 성능 특성은 수송유량, 제어유량, chamber의 반경, 입구면적, 마찰계수 등의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 이들 인자 중 chamber의 반경의 영향이 가장 크고 Reynolds수의 영향은 비교적 작은 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 주어진 유동조건에서 제어유량이 작은 경우 점성손실이 vortex 밸브의 유동특성에 미치는 영향이 증대되는 경향을 보였으며 유량이 증가할수록 Reynolds수의 영향은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The multi-stage control valve is one of the devices which controls cavitation and high pressure drop. To attain the high pressure drop, the conventional control valves adopted the multi-stage trim to avoid the occurrence of local cavitation in valves. This work studied the effect of divergence angle on the characteristics of multi-stage trim. Pressure drop and flow characteristics was calculated for the 1 passage of multi-staged trim by using the FLUENT 6.3.26. The result showed that the pressure drop is significantly influenced by the divergence angle of multi-stage trim. In addition, the pressure drop increased consistently as the Reynolds number and divergence angle increases.

대도시의 자동차 배기가스에 의한 대기오염문제는 날로 심화되어 가고 있으며, 그 규제 역시 매 우 엄격해지고 있다. 배기가스의 문제는 연소실내에서의 고효율연소에 의해 개선될 수 있으며, 이 를 위해서는 혼합가스 생성장치에서의 잘 미립화된 혼합가스의 생성에 관한 미시적 연구가 필수 적이다. 본 연구에서는 범용 유체 유동해석, 프로그램을 이용하여 Butterfly밸브 주위에서의 공기 의 흐름현상을 예측하였으며, 밸브의 손실계수(Kv)를 실험치와 비교하여 보았다. 또한 압축성과 비압축성 유체 유동해석의 비교, Residual Mass(R. M)의 최적치 정의에 의한 CPU 시간의 최소 화, Numerical Grid Size의 해석결과에 미치는 영향 등에 관해 알아보았다.

In this paper, a numerical investigation of three-dimensional, two-phase flow field around a butterfly valve is conducted. The butterfly valves that have different opening angles, $10^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$, and two profiles of the shaft boss are compared with various cavitation numbers and Reynolds numbers. This paper focused on the flow analysis in the original butterfly valve and new design butterfly valve in order to decrease cavitation and loss. It is found that the butterfly valve with a cone-type shaft boss greatly reduces the cavitation and loss, compared to the original shaft boss by 20${\sim}$30%.

The behaviors of the mixture at the downstream of throttle valve in a TBI type gasoline engine plays a greater role in design of intake system. A good mixture has been influencing directly not only on the engine power but also on the pollutant emission. The mixture flow in an intake manifold is very complex, and the flow characteristics are varied with the valve type, valve angle, inlet air flow rate, and the other flow factors. Three kinds of valve are chosen in this study, and the informations of the mixture flow are observed experimentally using a PIV apparatus. Perforate valve has a smaller recirculation zone than the case of solid valve with a lower valve loss coefficient, and iti is verified that the perforated valve is also suitable to control the flow rate in a mixture flow system.

Flow control butterfly valve(FCBV) is known to have difficulty in controlling flow rate along valve opening due to its high flow rate. In low opening condition, the butterfly valve also has some shortcomings such as noise, vibration and erosion which are mostly caused by cavitation effects. Therefore, the FCBV requires proper remedies to reduce cavitation effects and to improve flow control performance. Numerical analysis is applied to FCBV flow to find effects of design factors such as seat diameter and valve opening rate. Cases with 3 different sizes of seat diameter and various valve opening rate are selected for the numerical analysis. From the analysis results, it is found that the FCBV with small seat diameter shows better pressure loss performance and reduced cavitation effects.

The triple eccentric butterfly valve has metal sheet and this study about butterfly valve ceiling is an innovative approach. But it is affected by the static pressure as well as cross-current. The damage at the valve on the pipe resulted from the reflux is due to valve leakage. This study is investigated on the triple eccentric disk and it is applied with angle and the static pressure in all cases to develop cross-current triple eccentric butterfly valves. The disc with the diameter of 300A is valve against flow velocity. The entrance pressure by flow characteristics is performed with numerical analysis. As the result, valve torque production is reduced more than the conventional triple eccentric valve and entrance pressure is decreased on the increase of valve open angle. And flow coefficient can be known to be increased.

In a fuel injection engine, atomization of liquid fuel and mixture formation process has influenced(or affected) directly on the engine performance and pollutant emission. In this study, the characteristics of fuel spray and the behaviors of secondary atomization developed at the downstream of the valves were investigated using an image processing method. Solid and perforated valves are chosen in order to evaluate the valve performance in terns of air flow rate, valve opening angle and valve shape. Experimental results clearly indicate that the spray atomization quality can be improved by increasing the perforated rat io and the blockage rat io in the perforated valve, the characteristics of spray atomization is improved by using the perforated valve with high perforated rat io and blockage ratio.
