In manufacturing optical fibers, the process starts with the glass fiber drawing from the heated and softened silica preform in the furnace, and the freshly drawn glass fiber is still at high temperature when it leaves the glass fiber drawing furnace. It is necessary to cool down the glass fiber to the ambient temperature before it then enters the fiber coating applicator, since the hot glass fiber is known to cause several technical difficulties in achieving high quality fiber coating. As the fiber drawing speed keeps increasing, a current manufacturing of optical fibers requires a dedicated cooling unit with helium gas injection. A series of three-dimensional flow and heat transfer computations are carried out to investigate the effectiveness of fiber cooling in the fiber cooling unit. The glass fiber cooling unit is simplified into the long cylindrical enclosure at which the hot glass fiber passes through at high speed, and the helium is being supplied through several injection slots of rectangular shape along the cooling unit. This study presents and discusses the effects of helium injection rates on the glass fiber cooling rates.

본 논문에서는 환경친화적이고, 인화점 및 발화점이 높아 화재의 위험도가 낮은 식물성 절연우를 기존 변압기의 광유를 대체로 사용하기 위한 열적 특성을 열유동해석을 이용하여 온도분포를 수치해석을 통하여 예측하였다. 해석모델로는 154kV 급 단상 내철형 유입자냉식 변압기를 대상으로 CFD 해석을 수행하였으며, 광유와 식물성 절연유는 부하의 변화에 따른 온도특성을 파악하는 동시에 핫스팟(hot spot)을 예측하였다. 본 논문은 변압기를 3차원 모델링하여 유동 및 온도 분포를 해석한 결과, 변압기의 내부 온도 및 핫스팟 추적에 대하여 변압기의 수명에 대한 예측이 가능하며, 식물성 절연유를 사용한 전력용 변압기 온도 분포 해석결과는 식물성 절연유의 적용 및 냉각 설계 변경에 기초자료롤 활용될 것이다.

When an electrically conducting fluid flows through a staggered tube bank, the heat transfer and fluid flow features are changed by the externally introduced magnetic field. This study provides a numerical investigation of this phenomenon. Heat and fluid flows are investigated for unsteady laminar flows at Reynolds numbers of 50 and 100 with the Hartmann number gradually increasing from zero to 100. As the Hartmann number increases, and owing to the effects of the introduced magnetic field, the velocity boundary layer near the tube wall is thinned, the flow separation is delayed downstream, and the shrinkage of a recirculation zone formed near the rear side is observed. Based on these thermo-fluid deformations, the resulting changes in the local and average Nusselt number are investigated.

A numerical study on the heat and fluid flow has carried out for the design of the steam reforming reactor which consists of six reforming tubes and one burner. Reforming reaction calculation is coupled with the heat and fluid flow one. The burner type in the reforming reactor is chosen through the fluid flow calculation according to different type of burner structure. It is shown that the significant temperature gradient exists in the reforming reactor, affecting the component variation along the length of reforming tube. The component ratio of reforming gas is changed by the variation of SCR and GHSV.

The steady and transient thermal and flow analysis for liquid helium using for the pressurization of liquid rocket propellant tanks have been conducted numerically. The required inner diameter of helium channel that satisfy the design mass flow rate and velocity, through the steady state analyses for various thermal conditions at the wall, is determined and it is found that due to the sign of Joule-Thomson coefficient of helium, the temperature of helium increase monotonically for adiabatic wall condition. The temporal behavior of helium temperature, density, velocity are also investigated under the existence of local heat inflow on the wall.

A study on the effect of engine nozzle configuration on the engine plume Infra-red (IR) signature characteristics is performed. Configuration design of an engine nozzle with high aspect ratio to reduce IR signature level and a cylindrical nozzle which is typically used for conventional aircraft which does not require IR signature reduction is performed. And CFD analysis for the two nozzles is performed to compare the flowfields characteristics of the two nozzles. Finally IR signature analysis for the two nozzles is accomplished to calculate the total intensity level at mid-wave infra-red and investigate the differences of IR signature characteristics between the two nozzles.

When a cold HPSI (High Pressure Safety Injection) fluid associated with an design basis accident, such as LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident), enters the cold legs of a stagnated primary coolant loop, thermal stratification phenomena will arise due to incomplete mixing. If the stratified flow enters a reactor pressure vessel downcomer, severe thermal stresses are created in a radiation embrittled vessel wall by local overcooling. Previous thermal-mixing analyses have assumed that the thermal stratification phenomena generated in stagnated loop of a partially stagnated coolant loop are neutralized in the vessel downcomer by strong flow from unstagnated loop. On the basis of these reasons, this paper presents the thermal-mixing analysis results in order to identify the fact that the cold plume generated in the vessel downcomer due to the thermal stratification phenomena of the stagnated loop is affected by the strong flow of the unstagnated loop.

Fiber coatings are essential in optical fiber manufacturing, since they provide the protective layers from the surface damages and the adequate fiber strength. Flow and temperature fields of coating liquid in a fiber coating applicator are numerically investigated by using a commercial CFD software. The main focus of this computational study is on the thermal effects by viscous dissipation and the effects of coating supply temperature on the final fiber coating thickness. The numerical results reveal that the thermal effects play a major role in the high-speed optical fiber coating process and give substantial influences on the determination of coating thickness. Changing the supply temperature of coating liquid is found to relieve the radial variation of coating liquid viscosity in the coating die and it can be an effective way to control the fiber coating thickness.
