In this study, smoke movement in tunnel fire with natural ventilation shaft has been investigated with various size of fire source. Gasoline pool fire with different size of diameter - 73mm, 100mm, 125mm and 154mm - was used to describe fire source. Experimental data is obtained with 1/20 model tunnel test and its results are compared with numerical results. The computation were carried out using FDS 1.0 which is a field model of fire-driven now. Temperature profiles between measured and predicted data are compared along ceiling and near the ventilation shaft. Both results are in good agreement with each other. In order to evaluating a safe egress time in tunnel fire, horizontal smoke front velocity was measured in model tunnel fire tests and those are compared with numerical results. According to the presence or absence of natural ventilation shaft, ventilation effect are estimated quantitatively. Finally, this paper shows that computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is applicable to predict fire-induced flow in tunnel.

최근에 들어 환경보전에 대한 시민의식이 고조되고 깨끗한 자연 및 생활환경을 유지하려는 노력 이 각계에서 일고 있다. 이와 관련된 문제점의 하나가 대기오염이며 이 오염원 중의 하나가 자 동차 배기물로서 특히 탄화수소(hydrocarbon:HC), 일산화탄소(CO), 질소산화물(NO$_{x}$)에 의 한 대기오염의 심각히 대두되어 왔으며 현재 환경청 등에 의해 국가적 차원에서 자동차 배기물에 대한 규젤ㄹ 강화하려는 움직임을 보이고 있다. 미국의 경우 연도별 배기규제기준을 살펴 보면 표.1 과 같으며, 국내에서도 88년까지 미국, 일본수준으로 신규제작차의 배출혀용기준을 강화할 계획으로 있다. 표1의 규제치르 보면 60년대의 비규제기간중의 배출량에 비해 탄화수소의 경우 96%, CO는 96%, NO$_{x}$는 76%의 감소를 보여주고 있으며 이 규제치는 5만mile을 규정된 방법으로 주행한 후 복잡한 사이클과정의 연방정부 시험절차 (Federal Test Procedure, FTP 또는 Constant Volume Sampling-Cold and Hot, CVS-CH)를 거쳐 만족하여야 한다. 상기의 규제치들을 만족시키기 위한 실용적 방법으로서 촉매전환기(catalytic converter)가 채택되고 있 으며 따라 본 해설에서는 자동차용 촉매전화기에 대한 자료들을 정리하여 특성, 문제점 등을 살펴 보고자 한다.

The ventilation system of apartments can be divided by supply and exhaust fan, supply fan and exhaust free and supply free and exhaust fan. Recently, the individual ventilation system and central ventilation system which is combined cooling system with duct system are applied to apartment ventilation system. The airflow pattern is affected by location of supply unit and exhaust unit in indoor. This study is to investigate the proper distance between supply unit and exhaust unit using CFD. As a result of this study, the proper distance between supply unit and exhaust unit could be suggested at the interval of 3 m in supply and exhaust fan system and 2.5 m in supply fan and exhaust free.

Vacuum chamber or vacuum tube for the exhaust process of vacuum glazing is presently used, where excessive time and expenses are required to make the whole vacuum chamber or tube vacuum. To solve this problem, multifunction equipment for vacuum exhaust and ultrasonic joining at atmospheric pressure has been developed, in which a piezoelectric vibrator experiences excessive temperature rise resulting in optimizing the cooling of the equipment. Therefore, in this study, cooling effects of natural convection and forced convection methods were identified by numerical analysis and experiments, and cooling performance of the multifunction equipment was optimized.

Exhaust system used in toilet and cooking place of high riser public house is roof fan of two basic types : natural roof ventilator and natural/forced roof ventilator. Natural/forced roof ventilator has a motor in the rotary shaft. There are many high riser public house in Korea. These buildings were not viewed as being major contributors to exhaust pollutants producted in indoor. It was because many engineers thought that exhaust in high riser building depend on stack effect. This study investigates on stack pressure determined by exterior pressure and the difference pressure control in exhaust stack used in high riser public house. This paper focuses mainly on the effect of the time interval for power supply of motor installed in roof fan with function of natural wind velocity and of exhaust air volume of toilet. It is observed there are higher exhaust efficiency than the existing natural roof ventilator.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of hybrid ventilation system in apartment housings and present a design method to improve the performance of hybrid ventilation system using the CFD simulation. As the object of CFD simulation, a small apartment houses with area of $51m^2$ and $81m^2$ were selected and evaluated. The test hybrid ventilation system are window frame natural air supply & duct exhaust hybrid system(Hybrid 1) and window frame natural air supply & bathroom and livingroom exhaust hybrid ventilation system(Hybrid 2). To evaluate the ventilation efficiency, we used the locations of diffuser installed for each system as the variables through the CFD simulation. In the case of Hybrid 1, the ventilation efficiency of the exhaust duct diffuser located on the inside room was higher rather than the exhaust duct diffuser located on the entrance. In the case of Hybrid 2, the most efficient system was the system that the diffuser connecting the bathroom static pressure fan is installed on the center of the living room. The ventilation efficiency of the Hybrid 2 in the case of $51m^2$ type was more than 20% of the Hybrid 1. But, The ventilation efficiency of the Hybrid 2 in the case of $84m^2$ type was more than 14% of the Hybrid 1. Therefore, to apply the Hybrid ventilation, a study that considers various variable should be conducted.

It is difficult to design because of the plug-holing phenomenon in which the amount of smoke discharged from the vertical vent is smaller than the designed amount of smoke. In this study, the effect of cross-sectional area ratio of tunnel and natural ventilation and heat release rate of fire source on plug-holing phenomenon occurring in natural ventilation system was experimentally analyzed. In the experiment model reduced to 1/20 size, the aspect ratio of the tunnel and the vertical vent was fixed, and the influence on the plug-holing phenomenon was confirmed by varying the sectional area ratio of the tunnel and the vertical vent. Experimental results show that the plug-holing phenomenon is caused by the comparison of the smoke boundary layer temperature with the temperature in the vertical vents, and the flow and temperature distribution characteristics under the vertical vents are changed as the cross-sectional area ratio of the tunnel and vertical vents increases. The plug-holing phenomenon is affected by the cross-sectional area ratio between the tunnel and the vertical ventilation. The greater the cross-sectional area ratio, the greater the probability of plug-holing.

습식 배연탈황 공정에서는 흡수탑 내에서의 황산화물 흡수율을 높일 목적으로 흡수탑으로 유입되는 배기가스를 약 5$0^{\circ}C$까지 냉각하고, 처리된 배기가스는 연돌에서의 자연 통풍력을 확보하고 연돌 배출 후 수분의 응축으로 인한 백연(white Plume)의 문제를 방지하고자 통상 9$0^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 가온하는 것이 일반적이며 이를 위해 다양한 형식의 열교환기가 설치 운영되고 있다. 탈황공정에서 흔히 GGH(gas to gas heater)라 불리는 Ljungstrom 방식의 열 교환기는 미처리된 고온가스와 처리된 저온 가스가 회전하는 열교환소자로 이루어진 영역을 지나면서 열 교환이 이루어지는 형태로 회전 부위 및 두 가스흐름의 구분 판(sector plate) 등에서 필연적으로 처리가스 흐름 중으로 미처리 가스의 누입이 일어나게 된다.

The effect of recirculated exhaust gas on performance and exhaust emissions with FGR rate are investigated by using a natural circulation, pressurized draft and water tube boiler with FGR system operating at several boiler loads and over fire air damper openings. The purpose of this study is to apply the FGR system to a power plant boiler for reducing $NO_x$ emissions. To activate the combustion, the OFA with 0 to 20% is supplied into the flame. When the suction damper of two stage combustion system installed in the upper side of wind box is opened by handling the lever between $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, also, the combustion air supplied to burner is changed. It is found that the fuel consumption rate per evaporation rate did not show an obvious tendency to increase or decrease with rising the FGR rate, and $NO_x$ emissions at the same OFA damper opening are decreased, as FGR rates are elevated and boiler loads are dropped. While a trace amount of soot is emitted without regard to the operation conditions of boiler load, OFA damper opening and FGR rate, because soot emissions are eliminated by the electrostatic precipitator with a collecting efficiency of 86.7%.
