We investigated gas residence time and mixing characteristics due to various swirl numbers generated by normal injection of secondary air to a lab-scale cylinderical combustor. The residence time was estimated by measuring the temporal pressure difference which was caused by deposition of test particles on a filter media after the injection by a syringe. The mixing characteristics were evaluated by standard deviation value of test gas concentration at different measuring points. The test gas concentration was detected by a gas analyzer. The swirl number of $20{\sim}30$ for ${\theta}=5^{\circ}$ caused long residence time enough to improve mixing characteristics. Numerical calculations were also carried out to understand physical meanings of the experimental results.

The effects of a guide fin blade on the flow characteristics in a ventilating axial fan were investigated experimentally. The guide fins were setup onto the pressure surface of the blade, and their effects on the flowrate were evaluated. Two types of the guide fin blade were designed. One is the stem fin blade, and the other is the radial fin blade. The stem fin is designed normal to the circumference of a circle, and the radial fin is designed along the circumference of a circle. The results from the guide fin blade fans are compared with that of the blade without guide fins. The position and the geometry of the radial fin setting up on the blade have an effect on the increase of flowrate with the minor sacrifice of rotational speed of the blades. The radial fin positioning at 0.84 times blade diameter shows highest performance in the flowrate. The increase of the blade weight resulting from applying the guide fins shows minor effect on the variation of rotational speed of the blades.

This study suggests the prediction algorithm for transverse permeability, represented the flow resistance during the manufacturing process of composite, of unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced plastics. The cross-sectional shape of representative volume element (RVE) is considered to reflect fiber arrangement. The equivalent length is used as a factor to express the change of resin flow according to fiber arrangement. The permeability prediction algorithm is created by grafting the Electro-Hydraulic analogy and validity is confirmed. The code for permeability prediction was composed by means of MATLAB and Python, flow analysis was performed by using FLUENT. The algorithm was verified as the permeability results obtained through Algorithm and numerical analysis were almost identical to each other, and the calculation time was reduced around 1/450 compared to the numerical analysis.

차세대 비행체가 갖추어야 할 요건으로 다양한 작동 범위에서 다목적으로 사용될 수 있어야 한다는 점이다. 비행체는 작전시 초음속으로 순항해야 하며, 폭탄으로 손상된 비행장에서도 이륙하여 작동할 수 있도록 짧은 이륙과 착륙 거리를 가져야 하기 때문에 현재 비행체보다 더 큰 받음각에서 작동하여 비행시 뛰어난 기동성을 가져야 한다. 제어력을 향상시키기 위해서 받음각과 동압에 의존하지 않고 큰 제어 모멘트를 제공하는 차세대 방법은 엔진의 배기가스를 원하는 비행 방향으로 제어하는 것으로 이러한 방법을 추력 편향 제어(Thrust Vector Control)라고 한다. 기존 공력에 의한 비행 자세제어 방법은 속도의 2승에 비례하는 제어력을 발생하지만, 실속을 피해야하기 때문에 공기력을 이용한 날개 및 비행체의 받음각에 한계가 있어 비행체의 선회능력을 제한하며 고공에서 저속비행 하는 경우에는 공기의 밀도가 낮고 동압이 작게 작용하여 선회능력은 낮아진다. 그러나, 추력 편향 장치는 공력을 이용하지 않고 추력을 이용하기 때문에 실속에 의한 제한이 없어 큰 받음각(70$^{\circ}$-90$^{\circ}$)으로 선회할 수 있어 월등한 기동성을 발휘할 수 있다. 이러한 추력 편향 장치 중 제트 베인형은 소형화가 가능하고, 하나의 노즐로 수직, 수형 및 횡 방향의 3축 제어를 할 수 있어 많이 사용되고 있다.

지정학적으로 3면이 바다로 접하고 있는 우리나라 해안가 주변의 원자력발전소는 관류형 냉각 방식(Once-through cooling System)을 채택하고 있기에, 이 계통을 통과한 냉각수는 주변해역으로 흘러들어가 주변 환경에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 또한 동해 주변 인접국들의 활발한 원자력 이용과 방사능 물질의 수송 등으로 인해 방사능 사고 위험이 증대됨에 따라 동해 원전 주변의 해양방사성물질 거동에 대한 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이에 따라 동해의 해양환경을 조사 분석하여 해역에서의 오염 물질의 거동 파악이 중요하고, 산업시설 주변 연안의 오염물 이동 및 해석을 위해 오염물의 시 공간적으로 농도를 추정하는 것이 중요한 사항이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 수직 수평적으로 2차원 및 3차원화가 용이한 EFDC 모델을 사용하였다. 국립해양조사원에서 발간하는 DC103의 수치해도를 이용하여 모델영역은 동서방향으로 171km, 남북방향으로 235km로 설정하고, 격자간격은 $1km{\times}1km$의 정방향 격자를 사용하여 동해 월성 주변의 조위 시계열 검증 및 조화분석을 통한 검증을 실시한 결과 관측한 결과와 양호한 재현성을 나타내었다. 또한 국립수산과학원에서 제공되고 있는 년별 수온, 염분 자료 등의 해양환경과 지형적 특성을 고려하여 오염 물질의 이동 경로를 파악함으로써 사고시 피해를 줄이고자 한다.

This experimental study investigated the effect of tip clearance and bypass flow on the cooling performance of a straight fin heat sink. Both the horizontal and vertical directions of the bypass flow were studied by using a mass flow controller and test sections. The thermal resistance of a heat sink was obtained to elucidate the response of the cooling performance to tip clearance and bypass flow. The thermal resistance of a straight fin heat sink gradually increases with increasing tip clearance. A flow guide unit was employed to reduce the bypass flow. An optimal distance from the leading edge of the heat sink to the flow guide unit was found for the fixed volume flow rate. The contribution of the flow guide unit to the thermal performance of a heat sink increases with increasing volume flow rate.

Flow difference between reacting and non-reacting case in a swirl stabilized annular combustor is investigated using 3D Large Eddy Simulation with flamelet turbulent combustion model. The combustor of concern is the LM6000, lean premixed dry low-NOx annular combustor, developed by GEAE. Boundary conditions are based on experimental data. Heat release as a result of combustion put the dilatation of density in primary combustion zone highly increased so that the main swirl stream behind of a swirl cup stretched further downstream than that of non-reacting case. The oval shape of core flow in cross-section to flow direction, which clearly observed in non-reacting case, tends to be circle, and small vorticities in wide range in non-reacting case disappears, but the size of iso-vorticity increase in reacting case.

In conventional microchannel heat exchangers, only one kind of fluid (hot or cold) flows in each plate. The channels contain different kinds of fluid depending on the vertical position, but they have the same kind of fluid at all horizontal positions. Therefore, there is a slower heat transfer rate in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction. We propose a microchannel heat exchanger in which hot and cold fluid flows alternately in each plate to improve the thermal performance. This novel channel array requires a special design for the inlet and outlet. The proposed channel array has a faster heat transfer rate than a conventional channel array. The thermal performance of the novel channel array increases with increasing Reynolds number and Prandtl number, but it decreases as the ratio of solid to fluid thermal conductivity increases.

The characteristic of air-assist spray injected into subsonic crossflow were studied experimentally. External-mixing air assist injector of Orifice nozzle with L/d of 3 were tested with various air-liquid ratio. Shadowgraph photography was performed for spray visualization and trajectory of spray measurements. The detailed spray structure was characterized in terms of SMD, velocity, and volume flux, using PDPA. Experimental results indicate that penetration length was increased and spray distribution was accelerated by increasing air-liquid ratio.

The effect of internal and shroud nozzle distributor to bubbling fluidized beds which has the size of $0.3m-ID{\times}2.4m-high$ column was modeled by CPFD (Computational Particle-Fluid Dynamics). Metal-grade silicon particles (MG-Si) were used as bed materials which have $d_p=149{\mu}m$, ${\rho}_p=2,325kg/m^3$ and $U_{mf}=0.02m/s$. Total bed inventory and static bed height were 75 kg and 0.8 m, respectively. Effect of vertical internal on the bubble rising velocity was investigated. Bubbles were split by internal when the axial position of the internal from the distributor, z = 0.45 m. Bed pressure drop and axial solid holdup were not affected by internal. However, in the case that axial distance of internal from distributor was too close to jet penetration length, bubbles were not separated and bypassed internal, and faster than without internal or z = 0.45 m.
