In this study, the performance and structure of a parallel ejector comprised of multiple single ejectors were confirmed through numerical analysis. The same design variables (mass suction ratio, compression ratio, and expansion ratio) relevant to the performance of a single ejector were considered in the design of the parallel ejector. Analytical results showed that there was no significant difference in the performance of either system related to the operating mass suction ratio; however, the systemsize was significantly reduced. In addition, it was confirmed that when ejectors of the same performance capacity are arranged in parallel, the combined mass suction ratio is lower than that of the single ejector, allowing a lower pressure to be realized. The results of the analysis indicated that the parallel ejector's performance is not significantly different from that of any single ejector, but confirmed that the parallel ejector can offer a configurationdependent advantage in size and operation.

기관의 실린더 내로 흡입되는 공기의 질량이 정확히 계량 된다면 일정의 이론혼합비를 얻기 위한 연료의 분사량은 쉽게 결정될 수 있다. 그러나 현재로서는 실린더로 흡입되는 실제의 공기량을 직접적으로 측정하는 수단은 없고 다음에 설명하는 간접적인 방법으로 그 량을 측정하고 있다.

An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the effects of the equivalence ratio and air mass flux on the combustion efficiency in a solid fuel ramjet used fuel grains which were highly loaded with boron carbide. Combustion efficiency increased with increasing equivalence ratio (grain length), and decreasing air mass flux. Higher inlet air temperature produced higher combustion efficiencies, apparently the result of enhanced combustion of the larger boron particles those burn in a diffusion controlled regime. Short grains which considered primarily of the recirculation region produced larger particles and lower combustion efficiencies. The result of the normalized combustion efficiency increased with inlet air temperatures coincident with the result of the Brayton cycle thermal and the total efficiency relating to the heat input.

양산되는 승용차용 토크 컨버터 내부의 유동을 LDV 측정 기술을 이용하여 정량화했다. 속도비 0.4와 0.8 경우에 대한 속도 측정을 통해 임펠러 유로 중간과 출구 영역의 질량 유동율 특성을 분석했다. 측정 단면의 속도 분포는 유로의 위치와 속도비에 따라 많은 차이를 보이며, 특히 속도비 0.8 조건에서 임펠러 유로 중간영역 흡입면 부근의 유동은 유동박리에 의한 재순환 현상을 나타내며, 이와는 대조적으로 출구 영역에서는 흡입면을 따라 역류 현상이 발생한다. 임펠러 유로 내부의 유동은 각 영역에서 속도비에 따라 개별적 유동 특성을 보인다. 질량 유동율은 모든 속도비와 측정단면에서 주기적인 변화를 보이며, 또한 터빈의 순간적인 위치가 임펠러 유로 측정단면의 질랑 유동율에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는 것이 밝혀졌다 따라서 토크 컨버터 임펠러의 유로 방향 유동 특성 변화는 컨버터 설계에 중요하게 고려되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

Smoke generated in a fire consists of gaseous substances and particulate matter, such as unburned carbon that adsorbed the gases. Human injury caused by inhalation of gaseous substances present in smoke is mostly short-term, whereas damage caused by inhalation of particulate matter is relatively a long-term phenomenon depending on the state of the gas-phase adsorption. The amount and location of the deposited smoke particles are important factors in estimating the damage caused to humans, which are affected by the breathing conditions as well as particle conditions, such as the size and concentration affected by the combustion conditions. In this study, in order to understand the characteristics of the deposition of smoke particles in the respiratory tract related to the study of human smoke inhalation injury, the number and mass concentration of smoke particles deposited in different areas of the respiratory tract for different fuel types, combustion conditions and breathing conditions were calculated. In addition, the amount of mass deposition of smoke in the respiratory tract for a certain period of inhalation was compared with the atmospheric standard of fine dust.

In this study, the mass flow rate of the heat release rate equation, which is the major factor of the oxygen consumption method, was analyzed for the fundamental investigation of the cone-calorimeter (5 m length and 0.3 m diameter). The shapes of a completely empty inside, 3 mm pore diameter mesh and pore diameter 10 mm honeycomb with 0.76 porosity were constructed using the cone-calorimeter. To calculate the mass flow rate, four bi-directional probes and thermocouples were installed in a uniform position in the vertical direction of flow. The velocity gradient and flow perturbation were measured from the increase in Reynolds number. As the flow capacity increased, the speed gradient increased in all three shapes relative to the turbulence intensity. In addition, the deviation of extended uncertainty to the mass flow was completely low in the order of empty space, mesh (d_p = 3 mm) and honeycomb (d_p = 10 mm and 𝜖 = 0.76) at the 95% confidence level. The results can be used in designs to improve the flow stability of the cone calorimeter.

Three-dimensional flow and aerodynamic loss in the tip-leakage flow region of a turbine blade equipped with both a pressure-side winglet and a suction-side squealer have been measured for the tip gap-to-span ratio of h/s = 1.36%. The suction-side squealer has a fixed height-to-span ratio of $h_s/s$ = 3.75% and the pressure-side winglet has width-to-pitch ratios of w/p = 2.64%, 5.28%, 7.92% and 10.55%. The results are compared with those for a plane tip and for a cavity squealer tip of $h_{ps}/s$ = 3.75%. The present tip delivers lower loss in the passage vortex region but higher loss in the tip-leakage vortex region, compared to the plane tip. With increasing w/p, its mass-averaged loss tends to be reduced. Regardless of w/p, the present tip provides lower loss than the plane tip but higher loss than the cavity squealer tip.

Highly accurate control of the air-fuel ratio is important to reduce exhaust gas emissions of the gaseous-fuel engines. In order to achieve this purpose, inlet air mass flow must be measured exactly, and precise engine models are necessary to design engine control systems. In this paper, the effects of water vapor and gaseous fuel that change the air mass flow are studied. The effective air mass ratio is defined as the air mass flow divided by the mixture mass flow, and also it is applied to the estimation of the inlet air mass flow. The presence of the gaseous fuel and the water vapor in the mixture reduces the air partial pressure and the effective air mass ratio of the gaseous-fuel engines. The Experimental results for an LPG engine show that the estimation of the inlet ai mass flow based upon the effective air mass ratio is more accurate than that of the normal air mass flow.

Optimal supersonic diffuser shape of integrated rocket ramjet engine was derived which maximizes the total pressure recovery. Mass flux is considered as a design constraint and the second oblique shock angle of the external ramp, the cowl-lip angle and the throat area are selected as design variables. Refined response surface method through design space transformation technique was developed and employed, and high confidence level of the regression model could be obtained. Genetic algorithm was implemented for both system optimizer and subspace regression model optimization. Virtual nozzle was located at the end of throat to adjust the back pressure. With only 20 aerodynamic analyses, optimal supersonic diffuser shape which has 14% improved total pressure recovery characteristics was successfully designed.

On the initial design process of a scramjet vehicle such as the trajectory prediction, it is inevitable to estimate the aerodynamic performance of a three-dimensional effect. Despite the necessity of intensive computing for the three-dimensional model, it is inefficient in predicting a wide range of aerodynamic performance. In this study, an engineering model for aerodynamic performance was developed based on two-dimensional computational fluid analysis and linearized supersonic inviscid flow theory. Correspondingly, the three-dimension aerodynamic performance relations are presented based on the two-dimensional results. And the additional three-dimensional computation was performed to evaluate the adequacy for the extended relations.
