The improvement of a flow coefficient for the recirculation chill-down flow in a main oxidizer shut-off valve has been presented. The flow coefficient, which is mainly affected by the recirculation outlet port size and the configuration inside the valve, has been predicted with measured flow coefficient values. The comparison of experimentally measured flow coefficient with the predicted value shows the effect of valve inside configuration on the flow coefficient. Consequently, the flow coefficient is twice the previous value and about 75% of the pressure loss assigned to the main oxidizer shut-off valve can be used for additional pressure losses for other components in the recirculation chill-down system of a launch vehicle.

Nitrogen oxide is generated by the chemical reaction of oxygen and nitrogen in higher temperature environment of combustion facilities. The NOx reduction equipment is generally used in the power plant or incineration plant and it causes enormous cost for the construction and maintenance. The flue gas recirculation method is commonly adopted for the reduction of NOx formation in the combustion facilities. In the present study, the computational fluid dynamic analysis was accomplished to elucidated the cold flow characteristics in the flue gas recirculation burner with coanda nozzles in the flue gas recirculation pipe. The inlet and outlet of flue gas recirculation pipes are directed toward the tangential direction of circular burner not toward the center of burner. The swirling flow is formed in the burner and it causes the reverse flow in the burner. The ratio of flue gas recirculation flow rate with the air flow rate was about 2.5 for the case with the coanda nozzle gap, 0.5mm and it was 1.5 for the case with the gap, 1.0mm. With the same coanda nozzle gap, the flue gas recirculation flow rate ratio had a little increase when the air flow rate changes from 1.1 to 2.2 times of ideal air flow rate.

The purpose of the present study is to elucidate flue gas recirculation device for reduction of nitrogen oxides using coanda nozzle without adopting additional power driving fan in a waste incinerator. The characteristics of the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate and the average temperature change at the outlet of the mixed gas were investigated according to the change of air supply nozzle gap and the position of air supply nozzle. When the gap of the air supply nozzle was changed to 3.22, 4.03, and 4.84 mm, the largest recirculation flow ratio, which is the ratio of exhaust gas recirculation flow rate and air supply flow rate, was 2.227 for the case with 3.22 mm and its mean temperature at outlet was $594.8^{\circ}C$. When the position of the air supply nozzle changes to the front position, neck position, and expansion position of the coanda nozzle neck, the recirculation flow ratios at the forward position and the neck position were nearly almost the same value, 1.843, and 1.696 at the expansion position, their mean temperatures were $559.8^{\circ}C$ and $544.3^{\circ}C$, respectively.

A main oxidizer shutoff valve controls the supply of the oxidizer flow into the combustion chamber of a liquid rocket engine. This shutoff valve also carries out the pre-chilling of oxidizer supply lines by permitting recycling flow for stable transient start of the engine. In the present paper, the flow tests for the recycling line of the valve were conducted in order to evaluate the cooling performance of the main oxidizer shutoff valve. In addition, cryogenic life-cycle tests were performed with an assumption of the increase of spring constant with increasing valve operating times due to ductile-brittle transition effects.

Thermal NOx is generated in a high temperature environment in a combustion facilities. Exhaust gas recirculation method is widely used among various methods for reducing nitrogen oxides in combustion devices. In the present study, the computational fluid dynamic analysis was accomplished to elucidate the cold flow characteristics in the flue gas recirculation burner with both outlets opening. Because the reciculation pipes is installed toward the tangential direction, the swirling flow is formulated in the burner and the phenomenon of the reverse flow creation is detected at the center area of circular burner. We are confirmed that this is the similar trend with the burner with one side outlet closed. From the present study, it was seen that the recirculated inflow from both recirculated burner outlets increased by about 5% compared to the burner with one side outlet opening. At the outlet located at the exhaust gas recirculation pipe inlet(gas exit 1), the inlet flow was formed in the entire region. At the opposite outlet(gas exit 2), the total flow was discharged, but the center part of the burner was observed to have a reverse flow. The flow rate at the gas exit 2 was 3 ~ 5 times larger than the flow rate at the gas exit 1.

고형원료인 폐기물의 감량화 및 자원화 기술 중 가장 대표적인 기술로 폐기물의 소각(incineration)기술과 가스화(gasification)용융기술을 들 수 있다. 폐기물 가스화 기술은 폐기물 내의 탄소, 수소 성분을 가스화하여 CO, $H_2$가 주성분인 합성가스(synthesis gas, syngas)로 전환하여 불연물은 용융되어 환경적으로 무해한 슬래그로 회수하는 기술이다. 폐기물 가스화 용융 시스템으로 발생된 합성가스를 재순환하여 사용하는 합성가스 재순환시스템을 통해 가스화에 필요한 열을 시스템 내에서 대체하여 사용하는 기술개발은 폐기물 가스화 용융기술의 경제성을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고형 폐기물 가스화반응에 의해 발생되는 합성가스를 재순환하여 폐기물 가스화 용융 시스템내의 자체 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있도록 하는 합성가스 재순환 시스템 및 버너의 운전특성을 고찰하였다. 합성가스의 재순환 장치에서의 운전 압력 제어 및 유량제어를 통해서 안정적인 합성가스 재순환 성능과 재순환버너의 연소 성능을 유지할 수 있었다. 합성가스 재순환버너에 의한 16,800 $kcal/Nm^3$ 조건 및 33,600 $kcal/Nm^3$ 조건에서 운전시에도 가스화기의 운전온도는 안정적으로 유지됨에 따라 생산된 합성가스의 가스화기 보조연료 대체 및 에너지절감이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

보의 주요한 기능은 수위 및 유량을 조절이며, 수심을 확보하거나 하상 경사를 조절하기 위하여 설치된다. 보의 설치는 평균 흐름뿐만 아니라 강한 난류 흐름을 생성한다. 보의 실용적인 측면에도 불구하고, 이러한 흐름의 교란은 보의 상류뿐만 아니라 하류에 하상 변화를 초래한다. 이는 종종 하천의 안정뿐만 아니라 보 자체의 안전에도 영향을 미친다. 보 하류의 국부 세굴은 보를 지나는 3차원 흐름 특성을 가지는 복잡한 조직구조에서 기인한다. 특히, 이러한 흐름은 보에서 발생하는 큰 박리 흐름과 이어서 나타나는 재순환 영역 및 강한 하강류로 특징지을 수 있다. 보 하류 흐름에 관한 많은 실험 및 수치모의 연구가 수행되어왔다. 그러나 실험은 보 또는 하상과 같은 벽 경계면과 수면 근처의 세밀한 흐름 특성을 파악하기 어렵다. 또한, 기존의 RANS (Reynolds averaged navier-stokes) 모형은 조직구조와 같은 3차원 흐름 특성을 파악하기에 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 큰 와 수치모의 (large eddy simulation)을 이용하여 세굴공이 발달한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우의 보 하류의 흐름 특성을 분석하였다. 보에 의해 발생한 재순환 흐름은 세굴공이 발달하면서 그 영역이 확장되며, 재순환 흐름의 하강류의 세기는 약해지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 세굴공이 발달하면서 최대 세굴심의 위치는 재순환 흐름의 하단 끝 부분과 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper studies the aerodynamic performance that the vent mixer-new conceptual supersonic mixer-showed with its geometric characteristics. The hole is 2 mm with 2 mm's distance from the wall in case 1 and with no distance in case 2. In case 3 die hole is 1 mm. Case 1 and case 2 showed the same total pressure recovery ratio, of which the case 3 was lower than that. While cases 1-3 had the same reattachment length, the shear layer was thicker in cases 1 and 2 than in case 3. Within the recirculation zone, cases 1 and 2 had lower pressure loss and higher velocity gradient difference than case 3-they enhance mixing between air and fuel. Separation bubble which is developed by the inflow into the recirculation zone has a significant effect on the total pressure recovery ratio in the combustor. Also separation bubble influences pressure distributions and recirculation flows in the recirculation zone. Therefore, inflow rate of air into the recirculation zone mainly affects the performance of vent mixer.

In this study, we analyzed the flow characteristics in the wide-crested side weir of trapezoidal section by using a three dimensional numerical stimulation. From this study, as the Froude number increases in the main channel, the overflow discharge ratio and the discharge coefficient of lateral overflow tend to decrease. And it was also found that the increase of the lateral overflow reduces the channel discharge area in the downstream, and the size of recirculating zone is increasing in the opposite side of side weir. The stream-wise water surface on the side where the side weir is installed falls down rapidly in the weir starting point, gradually ascending, and rapidly rising at the end point. The reason why the water surface rapidly rises at the weir end point is because the weir end point hinders the flow.

폐기물의 감량화 및 자원화 기술 중 가장 대표적인 기술로 폐기물의 가스화 용융 기술을 들 수 있다. 폐기물 가스화 용융 기술은 폐기물 내의 탄소 및 수소 성분은 가스화 하여 CO, $H_2$가 주성분인 합성가스(synthesis gas, syngas)로 전환하고, 불연물은 용융하여 환경적으로 무해한 슬래그 또는 금속으로 회수하는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 고발열량폐기물과 탈수슬러지 혼합가스화를 통하여 생산된 합성가스를 합성가스 압축기를 통하여 유용한 원료물질을 제조하는 공정인 수성가스 전환 반응(water gas shift reaction)과 가스화 반응기의 보조연료로 투입하기 위한 합성가스 압축, 이송 시스템의 운전 특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 고발열량폐기물과 탈수슬러지 혼합가스화에서 합성가스는 안정적으로 발생하였으며, 합성가스 압축, 이송시스템을 위한 정제설비에서의 분진제거는 99.07 %의 효율을 얻었고, 또한 합성가스 재순환 장치의 성능시험을 통하여 대기 중의 산소가 유입이 안 되는 기밀성을 확인하였다. 합성가스 압축, 이송 공급 유량 제어 실험 결과로는 합성가스 압축기 기동 시 합성가스 압축압력과 공급유량은 비례적으로 증감하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
