An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is an industrial post processing facility for high efficiency dust mitigation. Uniformity of the flow passing through the inlet duct leading into the main chamber is important for efficient reduction of dust. To examine flow uniformity, this study conducted a numerical analysis of the flow within a scale-down ESP inlet duct. Magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) results from a prior study were utilized to validate the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) numerical simulations. Both the experimental and computational results displayed a similar recirculation zone shape and normalized velocity profile near the duct outlet for the baseline geometry. To optimize the uniformity of the flow, the number of guide vanes was modified, and the guide vanes were partially extended straight upward. Design evaluation is done based on the outlet velocity distribution and mass flowrate balance between the two outlets. Simulation results indicate that the vane extension is critical for flow optimization in curved ESP ducts.

Shape optimization method was coupled with a conventional CFD analysis to find the optimal shape of ex-manifold diffuser which decreases the maldistribution of flow above the catalyst. Shape optimization results show that flow uniformity above the catalyst was increased about 28% fur the axi-symmetric case and about 18% for the asymmetric case. The axi-symmetric type can be applied to the diffuser of under floor catalyst and the asymmetric type can be applied to the diffuser of close coupled catalyst.

마이크로 가스센서를 개발하기 위하여 가장 핵심적인 부품인 마이크로 핫플레이트에 대한 열전달을 해석하였다. 상용 열유동 해석 전용 프로그램인 FUENT를 이용하여 발열부와 주위의 실리콘 기판의 온도분포를 구하였다. 발열부에서는 전기저항에 의해서 일정한 양의 열이 균일하게 발생한다고 가정하고 그 열이 실리콘 기판의 끝을 통하여 빠져나간다고 가정하여 정상상태의 온도분포를 구하였다. 해석한 온도분포를 이용하여 균일한 온도분포를 얻을 수 있도록 발열선의 배치를 변화시켜가며 마이크로 핫플레이트의 설계를 완성하였다.

A selective catalyst reduction system (SCR) with an integrated bypass unit is proposed. Through simulations of the SCR, variations in flow to the catalyst due to the particular shape of the bypass shutting device in the SCR are also studied. The commercial software Ansys Fluent is used to develop the simulations. For the simulations, the catalyst of the SCR is modeled using the porous media method to reduce the calculation time and number of meshes, which is necessary because of the detailed modeling of the catalyst. Simulations are performed based on changes to the entrance angle to the catalyst and the size of the bypass shutting device. Finally, simulation results are used to compare and analyze the average velocity and uniformity of the flow to the catalyst.

In this study, a numerical analysis of the deposition of gallium arsenide from TMGa and arsine in a horizontal MOCVD reactor is performed to investigate the effect of inlet diffuser shape of reactor on the flow and deposition characteristics. The effects of two geometric parameters (diffuser angle, diffuser shape) on the growth rate, growth rate uniformity, flow uniformity and pressure loss are presented. As a results, it is found that the optimum linear diffuser angle is in the range of $50^{\circ}$∼$55^{\circ}$ and parabolic diffuser in the range of $40^{\circ}$∼$45^{\circ}$ from the viewpoint of growth rate uniformity, flow uniformity and average growth rate. It is also found that variation of diffuser angle has greater impact on growth rate uniformity than average growth rate particularly in parabolic diffuser.

It has been known that oyster mushrooms cultivated in facilities with thermal insulation have been strongly affected by inner environments. Forced air-circulation fans exert much direct influence on disturbing air inside the facility so the matter is of particular interest. This study is carried out to investigate the measured levels of air uniformity in a cultivation facility for oyster mushroom in the various cases that reversibly controlled air-circulation fans which drove the flow in the upward and reverse direction by turn and unidirectional fans by which the wind blew upwards only were operated from July 1 to 10. The actual survey for the selection of ongoing operation cases presented that farmers, even though there were some discrepancies, have made use of fans in a way that it paused for 5-30min after running for 5-15min by turn. The level of air uniformity in the case of adopting reversible fans revealed a slight difference of 1.4-1.8℃ (Temp.) and 7.8-8.7% (R.H.) under the condition of not using a cooler during the investigation period. By contrast, unidirectional fans showed a noticeable difference of 3.2-3.7℃ and 14.0-15.4%, which meant that air uniformity driven by reversible fans much more increased compared to that for unidirectional fans. Among the twenty operational applications considered for reversible fans, the circumstance that the wind blew upwards for 10-15min and ceased for 5-10min and blew again in the reverse direction for 10-15min in succession gave minor improvements at the level of air uniformity, but at present there was somewhat difficult to make decision on which cases were optimally best. It seems necessary that the effects of reversible fans on air uniformity as well as qualities of oyster mushrooms have to be appraised in the cultivation period and the flow visualization needs to be done to ascertain the performance of air mixture.

The selective catalytic reduction system is a highly effective technique for the denitrification of the flue gases emitted from the industrial facilities. The distribution of mixing ratio between ammonia and nitrogen oxide at the inlet of the catalyst layers is important to the efficiency of the de-NOx process. In this study, computational analysis tools have been applied to improve the uniformity of NH₃/NO molar ratio by controlling the flow rate of the ammonia injection nozzles according to the distribution pattern of the nitrogen oxide in the inlet flue gas. The root mean square of NH₃/NO molar ratio was chosen as the optimization parameter while the design of experiment was used as the base of the optimization algorithm. As the inlet conditions, four (4) types of flow pattern were simulated; i.e. uniform, parabolic, upper-skewed, and random. The flow rate of the eight nozzles installed in the ammonia injection grid was adjusted to the inlet conditions. In order to solve the two-dimensional, steady, incompressible, and viscous flow fields, the commercial software ANSYS-FLUENT was used with the k-𝜖 turbulence model. The results showed that the improvement of the uniformity ranged between 9.58% and 80.0% according to the inlet flow pattern of the flue gas.

본 연구는 5,000PS급 선박용 SCR 촉매시스템에 관한 내부 유동특성을 전산유체역학(CFD)을 통해 예측하고 설계에 반영하기 위한 기초를 확보하기 위함이다. 따라서 SCR 촉매반응기 내부 유동특성을 수치해석하기 위한 기법을 소개하였고, 촉매 Cell에 대한 수학적 모델링을 제시한 후 SCR 촉매시스템에서 NOx를 환원시켜 주는 촉매담체에 대한 압력강하를 실험과 수치해석을 통해 비교하였다. 그 결과 수치해석 결과가 실험에 매우 근접함을 확인할 수 있었다. SCR 촉매반응기에 대한 유동특성을 수치해석을 수행하여 각 지점에 대한 압력과 속도분포를 확인하였다. 또한 촉매 담체로 배기가스가 유입되는 입구부의 유동균일도를 예측하기 위해 Inlet pipe의 $90^{\circ}$ 각도에서 유입길이를 변화시켜 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 각도와 길이에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
