The effects of duct inlet conditions on fan characteristics and upper wind velocity fields were investigated for two kinds of impellers. As the duct inlet condition, the relative positions between duct inlet and fan impeller and the size of baffle plate mounted on a duct inlet were selected. The 3-dimensional velocity components in flow fields were measured by a 5-holes pitot tube. From the results of measurements, it was found that the size of baffle plate scarecely effect on upper wind flow fields and characteristics of fan. It was also confirmed that the upper wind velocity distributions can be estimated by the potential flow field with large baffle plate at duct inlet.

Internal structures, especially those located in the upstream of a reactor core, may have a significant influence on the core inlet flow rate distribution depending on both their shapes and the relative distance between the internal structures and the core inlet. In this study, to examine the effect of the reactor internal structure geometry treatment method on the prediction accuracy for the scale-down APR+ flow distribution, simulations with real geometry modeling were conducted using ANSYS CFX R.14, a commercial computational fluid dynamics software, and the predicted results were compared with those of the porous medium assumption. It was concluded that the core inlet flow distribution could be predicted more accurately by considering the real geometry of the internal structures located in the upstream of the core inlet. Therefore, if sufficient computational resources are available, an exact representation of these internal structures, for example, lower support structure bottom plate and ICI nozzle support plate, is needed for the accurate simulation of the reactor internal flow.

원자력발전소의 안전성 향상을 목적으로 신형원자로 안전주입계통의 축압기 설계에 적용이 고려되고 있는 피동적 유량조절 장치인 vortex 밸브의 유동장을 해석하여 밸브의 특성에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자들을 도출하고 이 인자들의 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 Vortex 밸브의 성능 특성은 수송유량, 제어유량, chamber의 반경, 입구면적, 마찰계수 등의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 이들 인자 중 chamber의 반경의 영향이 가장 크고 Reynolds수의 영향은 비교적 작은 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 주어진 유동조건에서 제어유량이 작은 경우 점성손실이 vortex 밸브의 유동특성에 미치는 영향이 증대되는 경향을 보였으며 유량이 증가할수록 Reynolds수의 영향은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Using a computational fluid dynamics technique, the flow characteristics and particle residence time in a Taylor reactor were studied. Since flow characteristics in a Taylor reactor are dependent on the operating conditions, effects of the inlet flow velocity and reactor rotational speed were investigated. In addition, the particle residence time of $LiNiMnCoO_2$ (NMC), which is a cathode material in lithium-ion battery, is estimated in the Taylor vortex flow (TVF) region. Without considering the complex chemical reaction at the inlet, the effect of Taylor flow was studied. The results show that the particle residence time increases as the rotating speed increased and the flow rate decreased.

The efficiency and lifetime of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system is critically affected by the humidity of the incoming gas, which should be maintained properly under normal operating conditions. Typically, the incoming gas of a fuel cell is humidified by an external humidifier, but few studies have reported on the device characteristics. In this study, a laboratory-scale planar membrane humidifier is designed to investigate the characteristics of water transport through a hydrophilic membrane. The planar membrane humidifier is immersed in a constant temperature bath to isolate the humidifier from the effect of temperature variations. The mass transfer capability of the hydrophilic membrane is first examined under isothermal conditions. Then, the mass transfer capability is investigated under various conditions. The results show that water transport in the hydrophilic membrane is significantly affected by the flow rate, operating temperature, operating pressure, and flow arrangement.

A turboprop aircraft for this study is required to operate at icing condition in order that it performs its given mission. So an air intake system of the turboprop aircraft should be designed and verified not only to provide the maximum possible total pressure at engine inlet at normal flight condition, but also to include an inertial separator which protects Foreign Object Debris (FOD) like ice or snow at icing condition from entering into the engine inlet screen which can cause or lead an catastrophic engine failure like engine flame-out or severe damage. So an air intake assembly incorporating a variable geometry inertial separator has been designed and then CFD/structural analysis for the assembly was performed to see its design results. Then 35% scaled model of the air intake assembly was manufactured and wind tunnel test was done. This paper describes the detailed design results for the aerodynamic design, analysis and wind tunnel testing during the development process of the air intake assembly.

유도결합 플라즈마를 이용한 식각 장치에서 플라즈마 균일도 향상에 대한 수많은 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 안테나의 디자인, 인가 전력과 주파수, 안테나와 기판간의 거리, 기판과 챔버 외벽간의 거리 등 다양한 변수들이 변화되어 왔다. 또한, 최근에는 식각 균일도뿐만 아니라 식각 속도 향상에도 많은 관심이 모아지면서 유동에 영향을 주는 GDP 구조가 다시 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 300 mm 식각장치를 형상화하고, GDP의 구조와 유량비에 따라 플라즈마의 균일도에 어떻게 영향을 끼지는지 사용 유체역학 전산모사 프로그램인 CFD-ACE+를 이용하여 예측해 보았다. 안테나는 2중 직렬방식으로 안쪽과 바깥쪽의 안테나에 각기 다른 전력을 인가 할 수 있는 구조를 사용했으며, 압력은 10에서 60 mTorr까지 변화시켰다. GDP의 구조는 안쪽 입구와 바깥쪽 입구가 있으며 역시 따로 유량을 조절할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 안쪽 입구는 수직방향을 향하고 있으며, 바깥쪽 입구는 90도 이내의 각을 갖도록 꺾여 있는 것과 수평방향으로 주입할 수 있는 구조, 두 가지를 사용하였다. 유량 비율은 안쪽 입구와 바깥쪽 입구를 2:8, 5:5, 8:2로 고정하였다. 우선 GDP의 구조가 90이내의 각을 갖도록 주입되는 구조에서는 어떤 유량비율에서도 약간의 vortex가 발생했다. 수직방향의 유량이 감소될수록 기판에서 멀리서 발생했으며 강도 또한 감소했다. 기판 표면에서의 압력분포 균일도도 8:2에서 2.8%, 2:8에서 0.6%로 향상되었다. 2:8의 유량 비율에서 압력을 10에서 60 mTorr까지 향상시키면 vortex 효과는 감소되나 기판에서의 압력 균일도가 0.8%까지 약간 나빠졌다. 여기서 발생되는 vortex는 GDP 구조를 수평방향으로 주입되기 함으로서 해결할 수 있었으며, 압력 균일도도 0.2%까지 향상시킬 수 있었다. 또한, 강한 수직방향의 유량은 중심에 발생하는 플라즈마의 중앙을 밀어내는 효과를 확인했으며, 실험적 증명이 추후 연구단계로 진행될 예정이다. 식각 균일도나 식각 속도를 예측하려면 CF계열의 복잡한 가스를 사용해야하기 때문에 유량이 플라즈마에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해서 본 연구에서는 단일종인 Ar 가스만을 사용하였다. 첫 단계로 이와 같이 최적화시킨 유동조건에서 복잡한 식각가스를 이용한 플라즈마 계산은 다음 단계로 준비 중에 있다.

Numerical investigation of a centrifugal compressor volute having a modified straight conical duct hill been made. Three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence equation are solved To avoid coordinate singularity at the central axis of the duct, multi-block H-type grid is generated on the circular cross-sections of the volute and stretched toward the solid wall boundary. We obtained numerical results with three different mass flow rates at the volute inlet, namely, with the inlet conditions that give small, medium and large mass flow rates at the outlet of the conical duct. Agreement with the experimental results is observed.

Turbulent flows are numerically simulated in the three dimensional inlet duct for heat recovery steam generator. The present study is aimed to analyze the effect of a variation in turbulent flow pattern by the change of roof angle in the transition duct. The finite volume based Navier-Stokes equations with unstructured grids are solved to make clear the flow dynamic phenomena. Reviews are made on with the data of path lines, velocity vectors, dynamic pressure, residuals for numerical convergence and so on. The k-epsilon, k-omega, Reynolds stress and RNG k-epsilon are used for generation of turbulence. Two types of roof angle are applied with and without the swirl in the duct. Turbulent flow patterns could be investigated for the optimum duct design based on the computational results.
