Effects of packing materials on the pressure fluctuations in a fluidized bed have been analysed using statistical method to interpret fluidized bed behavior. The experiments were carried out in a fluidized bed of 6.7cm - ID, and the experimental variables were particle size and its distributions, fluidizing velocity, aspect ratio, and packing materials, etc. Screen packings are used as packing material, the properties of the pressure fluctuations in the fluidized bed were measured by a differential pressure transducer. The measured properties for the pressure fluctuations were the mean, the standard deviation, and the major frequency of the power spectral density functions, etc. The standard deviations of the pressure fluctuations have been slightly affected in the radial directions of fluidized bed, and almost constant in axial directions the height above 4.5cm of the distributor of fuidized bed without packing materials. The major frequency decreased with increaing packing size, whereas it showed maximum at 10% of packing materials. It has been found that the standard deviation of the pressure fluctuations can effectively explain the fluidized phenomena, and the packing materials severely affected the properties of the pressure fluctuations.

To reduce the supersonic jet noise from the liquid rocket engine, water injetion silencers were designed and tested. Test variables were the mass flow rate of water jet, the length of primary pipe and the diameter of expansion pipe. Followings are the results of this study. 1. From the same mass flow rate of water, longer primary pipe was more effective to reduce the noise. 2. Noise level was significantly reduced with increasingly water flow rate. 3. The optimum water flow rate was 10～12 times of the propellant flow rate. 4. By installing expansion pipe, noise level was reduced approximately 30㏈ compared to without expansion pipe

A Wind tunnel test for a high speed ground vehicle was conducted to investigate the aerodynamic interactions between the vehicle and a solid channel. The free stream velocity was 30m/see and Reynolds number per unit length was $3.1{\times}10^5/m$. Experimental devices such as a variable channel ground and guide way were used for the test. As the vehicle was close to the channel ground and guide way, lift was significantly increased, drag was slightly decreased and pitching moments were restricted to augment static stability. Using smoke-wire, flow visualization was made to confirm these results by comparing the channel and non-channel flow characteristics of the vehicle. Under the influence of the channel ground and guide way, the flow beneath the vehicle was not discharged outside wing end plates, which was the major reason of the increase in lift of the vehicle.

Gasification is one of the important contribution to resource recycling by conversion of biomass to a variety of energy sources such as alcohol, SNG etc., and to global warming prevention by reduction of green house gases such as $CO_2$. The aim of this study is to draw the optimal operation condition of dual fluidized-bed gasifier with biomass fuel, to verify SNG production efficiency and to establish the basis for the domestic commercialization of dual fluidized bed gasification. As a result, dual fluidized-bed gasifier has the optimal conditions at $826^{\circ}C$ with steam input 1,334 g/hr, air input 5.56 L/min. The carbon conversion is 81% and SNG production efficiency was $CH_4$ 92%.

The objective of the present study were to evaluate nitrification characteristics and determine optimum treatment conditions of three phase fluidized bed reactor for recycling water treatment of aquaculture. When the loading rates were 2.739-0.086kg $COD/m^3/day$ and 1.575-0.128kg $NH_4\;^+-N/m^3/day$, COD and ammonia removal efficiencies were $56.3-94.7\%\;and\; 67.3­92.6\%$, respectively. The maximum removal rates of COD and ammonia were 1200mg/l/day and 488mg/l/day, respectively. Ammonia removal rates were more than $90\%$ beyond 1hr HRT. The ammoniaremoval efficiency was sensitive to the variation of media concentration and air flowrate.

In most cryogenic liquid rocket engines, liquid oxygen manifold and injector are not thermally insulated from room temperature environment fur reducing system complexity and the weight. This feature of cryogenic liquid rocket engine results in the situation that cryogenic liquid oxygen flow is easy to be vaporized especially in the vicinity of the manifold and the injector wall. The research in this paper is focused on two-phase flow phenomena of liquid oxygen in rocket engine. Vapor fraction was estimated by comparing the measured two-phase flow pressure drop in engine manifold and the injector with ideal single phase pressure drop. Heat flux into cryogenic flow is estimated by measuring the wall temperature on the engine manifold to examine boiling characteristics. Suitable correlations for cryogenic two-phase flow were also reviewed to see their applicability. In addition, the effect of vapor generation in liquid rocket engine manifold and injector on engine performance and stability was considered.

The oxygen transfer rate at the liquid surface of the reciprocally shaking vessel was studied. The required power of the reciprocally shaking vessel was not proportional to the shaking frequency, unlike the rotational shaking vessel, and the liquid level suddenly fluctuated greatly at a certain frequency as the flow pattern in the vessel was a left and right wave flow different from that of the rotational shaking that has a rotational flow. The effect of the shaking frequency on the required power in the reciprocally shaking vessel was very complex, such as less power required than the rotational shaking vessel when the shaking frequency is more than 3 s-1, but the required power for the range of the generated rotational flow in the reciprocally shaking vessel could be correlated with the equation that was reported for the rotational shaking vessel. The kLa (mass transfer capacity coefficient) in the reciprocally shaking vessel also increased in a complex pattern because the required power for shaking was not consumed in a simple pattern, unlike kLa in the rotational shaking vessel, which increases linearly with increasing frequency. The kLa of the reciprocally shaking vessel was larger than the kLa of the rotational shaking vessel, and as the kLa value increased, the difference between them increased sharply. As a result, the oxygen transfer rate in the reciprocal motion was greater than that of the rotational motion, and could be correlated with the required power per unit volume.

도로에서의 우수를 원활하게 처리하기 위해서 빗물받이 및 연결관 등의 노면 배수시설이 설치되고 있으며, 노면 배수는 측구부를 통해 흘러 빗물받이 유입부로 차집되고 연결관을 통해 하수관거로 배수된다. 그러나 최근 국내 기상패턴의 변화로 국지성 집중호우와 같이 시간당 강우량 증가로 도로부와 저지대에서 배수시설의 배수불량에 따른 도심지 내수침수 피해가 발생하고 있다. 이에 정부에서는 다양한 우수관거 개선사업, 빗물펌프장, 지하저류조와 같은 방재시설을 설치하고 있으나 우수유출저감시설은 대규모 예산이 소요되고 실제 침수지역에 피해 저감효과에 대한 효용성 문제에 대한 제기뿐만 아니라 과밀화된 도심지에서는 지하공간 활용에 한계가 있는 실정이므로 도심지의 다양한 공간을 활용한 도시 배수 및 저류시설에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유휴 공간인 도로 측구부 공간을 활용하여 도로 노면수를 저류 및 지체할 수 있는 노면수 측구 저류시설의 개념을 제시하고 측구저류조의 활용성을 판단하기 위하여 빗물받이 유입구, 빗물받이, 측구 저류조 및 빗물받이와 측구저류조 연결부에서의 노면수 유입, 유출 및 저류 등의 다양한 흐름 변화를 확인하기 위하여 Fluent 모형의 적용성을 분석하였다. 수치모의 전체 형상은 50x50cm 크기의 빗물받이를 기준으로 양쪽에 2m 길이의 측구 저류조를 원형관으로 연결하여 1/5 축소모형으로 구성하고 격자는 빗물받이 유입부, 빗물받이 및 측구 저류조 내부의 복잡한 3차원 흐름을 모의하기 위해 사면체와 육면체로 조밀하게 생성하였다. 다상유동해석을 위해 VOF(Volume of Fluid)방법을 적용하였고, 수치해석 방법으로는 비정상류, 난류 모형으로는 SST k-ω모형을 적용하였다. 수치모의 조건으로는 설계빈도별(5~30년) 우수유출량을 산정하여 유입 유량별 기존 빗물받이 유입부에서의 유입흐름, 빗물받이 내부에서의 와 발생흐름, 측구 저류조 및 연결관에서의 흐름을 구현하여 분석하였다. 수치모의 결과 빗물받이 유입부에서 연결관을 통한 측구 저류조로 유입되는 유입흐름과 빗물받이 하단부의 배수관을 통해 유출되는 흐름을 정상적으로 구현하였으며, 빗물받이 유입부 및 측구 저류조 연결관에서의 유속변화도 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 빗물받이와 측구 저류조에서 다양한 흐름을 구현하기 위한 Flunet 모형의 적용성을 검토하였으며, 향후 수리실험을 통하여 실제 흐름과의 매개변수 최적화 및 다양한 도로 조건의 변화를 고려한 수치모의 분석을 통하여 지속적인 모형의 검증이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

For free surface flow problem, a high-order spectral/boundary element method is adapted as an efficient numerical tool. This method is one of the most efficient numerical methods by which the nonlinear gravity waves can be simulated and hydrodynamic forces also can be calculated in time domain. In this method, the velocity potential is expressed as the sum of surface potential and body potential. Then, surface potential is solved by using the high-order spectral method and body potential is solved by using the high-order boundary element method. Using the combination of these two methods, the free surface flow problems of a submerged moving body are solved in time domain. In the present study, lifting surface theory is added to the former work to include effects of lift force. Therefore, a new formulation for the basic mathematical theory is introduced to contain the lift body in calculation.

Our study aims to understand the flow of liquid in an open-top rectangular microchannel that can be used in micro total analysis systems ($\mu$-TAS) because it has advantages in terms of light transmission and energy efficiency. We measured the liquid velocity using particle tracking technique and conducted a simulation with computational fluid dynamics by altering the area of channel cross section and channel length for the capillary-driven flow in the open-top rectangular microchannel. When liquid water drops to an entrance of the fabricated microchannel with a height of 20 μm and a width of 20 ${\mu}m$, it flows along the microchannel by only capillary force. In the wetting behavior of the liquid, important parameters of this flow are channel size, contact angle and liquid properties such as surface tension and viscosity, which are used to control the flow of liquid in the microchannel.
