This study is performed for propose that exactly equivalent length of TBP in the applied at water-based fire protection system. For predict the measuring position of equivalent length, we determined the measuring position using the FVM about pressure drop of TBP. For the reckon of the exact about measured value we compared with the result of FVM and we knew the similar value each other. Using the results we proposed the friction loss measuring position that inlet of main dirction is 20 times of appellation diameter in main pipe, outlet of main dirction is 10 times of appellation diameter in main pipe and outlet of branched direction is 20 times of appellation diameter.

This study experimented to understand the effects of transporting ice slurry through elbow and inclined tube. And at this experiment it used propylene glycol-water solution and a diameter of about 2mm ice particle. The experiments were carried out under various conditions, with velocity of water solution at the entry ranging from 1.0 to 3.5 w/s and elbows and inclined tubes of 4 kinds angle with $30^{\circ},\;45^{\circ},\;90^{\circ}\;and\;180^{\circ}$. The pressure drop between the tube entry and exit were measured. According to angle of bending, the highest pressure drop was measured at $30^{\circ}$ elbow and the lowest pressure drop was measured at $90^{\circ}$ elbow, and there are only a little differences of pressure drop between $45^{\circ}$ elbow and $180^{\circ}$ elbow. According to angle of inclined tube, the highest pressure drop was measured at $90^{\circ}$ inclined tube and the pressure drop at $45^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;180^{\circ}$ inclined tubes were lower successively. The lowest pressure drop in elbows and inclined tubes was measured at velocity of $2.0\~2.5$ m/s and concentration of $10\;wt\%$.

The effect of channel cutback on three-dimensional flow fields and aerodynamic losses downstream of a cavity squealer tip has been investigated in a turbine rotor cascade for the squealer rim height-to-chord ratio and tip gap height-to-chord ratio of $h_{st}/c$ = 5.51% and h/c = 2.0% respectively. The cutback length-to-camber ratio is changed to be $CB/c_c$ = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. The results show that longer cutback delivers not only stronger secondary flow but also higher aerodynamic loss in the tip leakage vortex region, meanwhile it leads to lower aerodynamic loss in the passage vortex region. The discharge of cavity fluid through the cutback opening provides a beneficial effect in the reduction of aerodynamic loss, whereas there also exists a side effect of aerodynamic loss increase due to local wider tip gap near the trailing edge. With increasing $CB/c_c$ from 0.0 to 0.3, the aerodynamic loss coefficient mass-averaged all over the measurement plane tends to increase slightly.

This study reports the analysis of the pressure drop characteristics for the air-particle flow in powder transport piping system. The pressure drop characteristics of air-particle flow in piping system is not well understood due to the complexity of particles motion mechanism. Particles or powders suspended in air flow cause the increase of the pressure drop and affect directly the transportation efficiency. In this study, the pressure drop in powder transport piping system with straight and curved pipes is analyzed for the interactions of air flow and particle motion. The total pressure drop increases with increasing of the pipe length, the mixture ratio, and the friction factor of particles due to the increasing friction loss by air and particles in a coal piping system. For the coal powders of $74{\mu}m$ size and powder-to-air mass mixture ratio of 0.667, the total pressure drop by the consideration of powders and air flow is $30\%$ higher than that of air flow only.

The effect of incidence angle on the three-dimensional flow and aerodynamic loss in the tip leakage flow region downstream of a turbine rotor cascade has been investigated for two tip gap-to-chord ratios of h/c=0.0% (no tip gap) and 2.0%. The incidence angle is changed to be $i=-10^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$, and $5^{\circ}$. The results show that for $i=5^{\circ}$, secondary flows including the passage vortex are intensified noticeably, and there is a strong interaction between the passage and tip leakage vortices. For $i=-10^{\circ}$, however, the passage vortex is weakened significantly, so that there exists only a strong leakage-jet-like secondary flows near the casing wall. For h/c=0.0% and 2.0%, aerodynamic loss tends to increase with increasing i from $-10^{\circ}$ to $5^{\circ}$. A small increment of i in its positive incidence range results in a remarkable aerodynamic loss increase, while increasing i in the negative incidence range leads to a small change in the aerodynamic loss generation.

The exit edges of a diffuser are smoothly rounded, and a wall is located perpendicularly to a diffuser exit. The fluid is discharged towards the radial direction of a diffuser after impinging against a wall from a diffuser. In this flow path, pressure loss coefficients have been calculated by the variables of Reynolds number at a diffuser inlet, distance between a diffuser exit and a wall, and turbulence models. As a result, it was calculated that $h/D_0$ ratio between $0.35\sim0.4$ has the minimum pressure loss coefficient regardless of Reynolds number and turbulence models. It was also found that in case of the flow with relatively high Reynolds number at a diffuser inlet, the pressure loss coefficients by RNG $k-\varepsilon$ model have a tendency to be near to those by standard $k-\varepsilon$ model at small ratio of $h/D_0$, but to those by RSM at large ratio.

Simple spanwise distribution models of deviation angle and pressure loss coefficient due to the tip leakage flow are formulated for use in association with the streamline curvature method as a flow analysis. Combining these new models with the previous deviation and loss models due to secondary flow, a robust streamline curvature method is established for flow analysis of single-stage, subsonic axial turbines with wide ranges of turning angle, aspect ratio and blading type. At the exit from rotor rows, the flow variables are mixed radially according to a spanwise transport equation. The proposed streamline curvature method is tested against a forced vortex type turbine as well as a free vortex type one. The results show that the spanwise variations of flow angle, axial velocity and loss coefficients at rotor exit are predicted with good accuracy, being comparable to a steady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. This simple and fast flow analysis is found to be very useful for the turbine design at the initial design phase.

Recently, the ice storage system using ice slurry has been used increasingly since it has been introduced where the rapid cooling load change is required. Because it overcomes a decrease of the melting performance and an increase of the thermal resistance on the ice layer in static ice thermal storage system. This study is performed to understand the effects of transporting ice slurry through horizontal, vertical and inclined tubes ($30^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}$). It used propylene glycol-water solution and ice particles (diameter of about 2 mm) in this experiment. The experiments were carried out under various conditions, with concentration of water solution ranging from 0 to $20wt\%$, and velocity of water solution at the entry ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 m/s. The results were as follows: Regarding the angle of inclined tube, the highest pressure loss was measured for vertical tube and the pressure loss for $45^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$, horizontal straight tubes were lower successively. The lowest pressure loss in these tubes was measured at velocity of $2.0{\sim}2.5m/s$ and concentration of $10wt\%$. The outlet IPF was likewise stable in these ranges.

환경친화적인 냉매를 탐색하는 과정에서 자연냉매 $CO_2$는 1990년대 초에 많은 사람들의 관심을 다시 끌게 되었고, 그 이후 구미 선진국 위주로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 $CO_2$는 탄화수소계 냉매가 안전상의 이유로 사용되기 어려운 차량용 냉방 시스템과 온수제조용 열펌프 시스템에 대하여 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔으며 최근에는 가정용 냉난방 시스템에 대한 연구도 진행되고 있다. $CO_2$를 냉매로 사용하는 냉동 시스템에 있어서 증발기는 시스템의 중요한 구성 요소이므로 제품 개발을 위해서는 증발기에서의 열전달 및 압력손실 특성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. $CO_2$의 증발 열전달에 있어서 작동매채인 $CO_2$의 비체적, 비열, 점성계수, 표면장력 등의 물성치가 크게 변화하므로 기존에 널리 사용되던 냉매의 중발열전달과는 상당히 다른 결과가 나타난다. 예를 들면 기존의 냉매에서는 건도가 증가함에 따라 열전달계수가 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있으나 $CO_2$의 경우에는 오히려 열전달계수가 감소하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이처럼 $CO_2$는 증발열전달 과정에서 기존 냉매의 경향으로부터 예측하기 힘든 결과가 나타나므로 다양한 형상의 증발기에 대하여 실험적으로 압력손실과 열전달계수를 구하는 연구는 성공적인 $CO_2$ 냉동 시스템의 개발을 위하여 필수 불가결하다. 본고에서는 $CO_2$ 냉동 시스템의 개발에 도움이 될 수 있도록 지금까지 국내외에서 수행된 $CO_2$ 증발 열전달에 관한 문헌조사를 통하여 연구결과들을 비교, 분석하고 향후의 연구 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
