In this study, the ejector design was modeled using Fluent 6.3 of FVM(Finite Volume Method) CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques to resolve the flow dynamics in the ejector. A vacuum system with the ejector has been widely used because of its simple construction and easy maintenance. Ejector is the main part of the desalination system, of which designs determine the efficiency of system. The effects of the ejector was investigated geometry and the operating conditions in the hydraulic characteristics. The ejector consists mainly of a nozzle, suction chamber, mixing tube(throat), diffuser and draft tube. Liquid is supplied to the ejector nozzle, the fast liquid jet produced by the nozzle entrains and the non condensable gas was sucked into the mixing tube. In the present study, the multiphase CFD modeling was carried out to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of seawater-air ejector. Two-dimensional geometry was considered with the quadrilateral-mashing scheme. The gas suction rate increases with increasing Motive flow circulating rate.

농업유역은 농업 활동이 이루어지는 농경지와 산림지, 주거지 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 농경지에서 필요한 물을 확보, 공급하기 위한 수원공시설이 위치하고 있다. 수원공은 하천수 및 지하수를 저류, 취수하여 관개 지구에 공급하게 되는데 이로 인하여, 상, 하류 하천유황이 증가하거나 감소하게 된다. 물순환이란 비나 눈이 내려 침투, 유출, 증발산 등의 과정을 통해 공간적, 시간적으로 변화하며 이동하는 자연적인 현상을 말하며, 상하수도 등 배수시설의 영향에 따라 발생하는 인공계 물순환도 광범위한 물순환에 포함된다. 최근 불투수면의 증가, 과도한 지하수 사용 등으로 인해 하천의 건천화, 지표유출량 증가 등 물순환 구조가 왜곡되고 있으며 왜곡된 물순환 회복을 위해 물순환 선도도시 조성, 물순환 회복조례가 신설되는 등의 노력이 있었다. 물순환 선도도시 조성 및 회복조례는 불투수면의 저감, LID 기법 적용 등을 통한 물순환 개선에 초점을 맞추고 있으나, 농업유역의 물순환은 농경지와 농업용수 공급을 위한 수원공에 큰 영향을 받아 이를 통한 물순환 개선에 초점을 맞춰야 한다. 본 연구에서는 농업유역의 농경지 및 수원공 관리방안에 따른 유역 단위 물순환 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 모듈 기반 농업유역 수문모형을 통해 농업유역 물순환을 모의하였으며, 물순환율 개념을 통해 유역 단위 물순환 변화를 평가하였다. 물순환율은 환경부에서 제시한 (1-직접유출률) (%)의 식과 농업유역 특성을 반영한 농업유역 물순환율 두 가지를 통해 평가하였다. 농업유역 수자원 관리방안은 수원공인 농업용 저수지의 제한 수위운영에 따른 효과와 농경지는 관개 지구에 물꼬 및 담수심 관리방안을 적용하였으며 각 관리방안에 따른 물순환율을 도출하였다. 농업용 저수지는 제한 수위운영을 통한 유역 물순환 개선 효과를 확인하였으나 관개 지구에 적용한 물꼬 및 담수심 관리방안의 효과는 미비한 것으로 나타났다.

A new concept of an Eco-friendly desalination method is introduced in this study. The main idea of the desalination method of seawater is the condensation of the vaporized seawater by solar heat energy on the surface of seashore. The wind turbine blade plays a role of heat exchanger condensing the vaporized water in the air. In this analytical study, the availability of the proposed desalination system was studied. First, an analytical condensation theory of the vaporized water in air was arranged and the parametric study was conducted to estimate the amount of freshwater produced from the system with the change of the temperature difference between the humid air and turbine blade, and the relative humidity in air, and wind speed. From the analytical calculation, 2,927(ton/year) of freshwater was produced at the vertical-type wind turbine (Diameter=4m, Height=3m) as the relative humidity is 100%, the temperature difference between the impeller blade and the humid air is $40^{\circ}C$ and the wind speed is 10m/s.

수자원 이용량 중 농업용수 이용량은 약 47 %를 차지하고 있고 전체 논 대비 저수지 관개논 비중은 45 %에 달하고 있어 저수지 관개논의 비점오염배출에 대한 정량적인 평가 및 관리가 요구된다. 논에서의 비점오염배출량은 강우뿐만 아니라 시비 및 물관리 등 영농인자에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에 시기별 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 저수지 관개논을 대상으로 비점오염 유출입 기작을 종합적으로 모니터링하고, 이를 바탕으로 저수지 관개논에서의 물수지 및 물질수지를 산정하고, 그 결과를 분석/평가하는 데 있다. 본 연구의 대상지구는 이동저수지 하류에 위치한 관개논을 선정하였고, 수문/수질 계측망을 구성하여 모니터링을 수행하였다. 물수지 분석을 위해 강우량, 담수심, 침투량, 관개량, 지표유출량 등을 관측하였고, 증발산량은 Penmann-Monteith 식으로 산정하였다. 물질수지 분석을 위해 시비량, 시비시기, 관개수 및 유출수 수질 등을 조사하였고 토양 및 식물체 성분을 분석하였다. 관개논에서의 지표유출량은 1232.1 mm, 침투량은 111.5 mm, 증발산량은 598.9 mm으로 나타났고, 질소 기준 배출부하량은 28.76 kg/ha, 식물흡수는 120.37 kg/ha의 값을 보였다. 본 연구결과는 관개논에서의 비점오염 주요 관리인자의 상호관련성 및 배출기작을 구명하고, 비점오염배출량 저감을 위한 영농방법개선 방안 수립에 기초자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

Seawater amounts to 70% of the earth and represents a quite unlimited resource for the production of fresh water by desalination processes and for the extraction of dissolved salts present in it. Recently, the falling film evaporation has increased in interest as an efficient method for seawater desalination system.

So, this study is taken to investigate numerically the falling film thickness on the inlet Renold Number ranges are 400 to 700. Numerical simulations are performed using FLUENT6.3.26, a commercial CFD code.

The paper presents an analysis of the heating cycle and discusses a desalination cycle that uses lowtemperature seawater. The basic heating cycle model is the heat pump cycle, and seawater desalination is usually performed by the indirect freezing desalination method. The low temperature of the seawater (below $5^{\circ}C$) acts as the heat source of the evaporator. R-134a, R-1234yf, R-600a are used as working fluids. In the 2-stage compression cycle, the compressor's work decreased by about 15.6% from that in the 1-stage compression cycle. Further, the COP in the 2-stage cycle was 17.6% higher than that in the 1-stage cycle. In the indirect desalination cycle, the energy per unit fresh water productivity in the 2-stage cycle was 19.8% lower than that in the 1-stage cycle.

According to the environment report of UN, korea was classified as potable water shortage countries. Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean. However, it is difficult to use for industry of residential purpose without a certain processing. The development of solar and waste-heat used absorption desalination technology have been examined as a viable option for supplying clean energy. In this study, the modelling of the main devices for solar and waste-heat used and adsorption desalination system was introduced. The design is divided into three parts. First, the evaporator for the vaporization of the top water is designed, and then the reactor for the adsorption and release of the steam is designed, followed by the condenser for the condensation of the fresh water is designed. In addition, new features based on the energy balance are also included to design absorption desalination system. In this basicresearch, One-bed(reactor) adsorption desalination plant that employ a low-temperature solar and waste energy was proposed and experimentally studied. The specific water yield is measured experimentally with respect to the time controlling parameters such as heat source temperatures, coolant temperatures, system switching and half-cycle operational times.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution characteristics of mist spray particle size by devising a rotary mist spraying device to develop the evaporative salt water desalination system. The rotary mist spraying device was consisted of a BLDC sirocco fan, a spinning fan, a fan fixed shaft and a salt water supply device etc. In this study we analyzed the characteristics of spray particle size and distribution according to the variation of sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra, ${\mu}m$), revolutions(rpm) and salt water flow rate(mL/min). When sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra) was in the range of $0.27{\sim}7.65{\mu}m$, the spray particle size was $0.117{\sim}1.360{\mu}m$. And then more than 90% of spray particles were found to be less than $0.50{\mu}m$. When sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra) was in the range of $12.70{\sim}22.84{\mu}m$, the spray particle size was $2.51{\sim}184.79{\mu}m$ and more than 98% of spray particles were found to be less than $13.59{\mu}m$. To analyze the effect of fan rotation speed on the size and distribution of spray particles, when surface roughness Ra was fixed $0.27{\mu}m$ and fan rotation speed and salt water flow rate was respectively changed at 3,800~5,600 rpm and 2.77~8.28 mL/min, spray particle size was $0.314{\sim}0.541{\mu}m$. And when salt water flow rate was 9.74 mL/min and fan rotation speed was 3,800~5,200 rpm, spray particle size was in the range of $29.29{\sim}341.46{\mu}m$ and in case of 5,600 rpm more than 98.23% of spray particles were in the range of $2.51{\sim}13.59{\mu}m$.
