붕소의 높은 융점과 비점으로 인하여 일반적인 합성법으로는 제조가 어려운 붕화금속 나노물질을 효과적으로 합성하기 위하여 열플라즈마의 특성을 전산해석 하였다. RF (Ratio Frequency, 고주파) 열플라즈마 발생기는 일반적인 직류 열플라즈마 발생기와 비교해 볼 때, 전극 침식에 의한 수명 문제나 불순물의 오염 없이 고온의 열플라즈마를 안정적으로 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 고순도의 나노입자 합성공정에 좋은 조건을 가지고 있다. 그러나 열플라즈마의 고온 부분은 10,000 K 이상의 높은 온도를 가지고 있기 때문에 직접적인 측정으로는 나노입자 합성에 최적의 조건을 찾기가 어렵고, 전산해석을 통하여 여러 변수들에 대한 열플라즈마의 특성을 분석하여야 한다. 해석조건으로 RF 플라즈마의 입력전력은 25 kW로 고정하고 발생기 직경 20~35 mm, 유도코일 감은 수 4~6 회, 첫 번째 코일으로 부터 분말 주입구까지의 길이 10~30 mm, 방전 기체 유량 30~70 L/min에 대한 변수들에 대하여 붕화금속 나노입자 합성에 최적의 조건을 가진 RF 플라즈마의 온도 및 속도분포를 파악하였다. 전산모사 결과 RF 열플라즈마 발생기의 직경 25 mm, 분말주입구 까지의 길이 10 mm, 유도코일 감은 수 6 회, 방전 기체 유량 50 L/min 일 때, 고온영역이 중심부에 넓게 분포하여 붕화금속 나노입자를 합성하는데 최적의 조건이라 파악되었다. 방전 기체 유량 증가에 따라 고온영역의 중심부 분포를 넓게 할 수 있었으나 유량이 증가할수록 플라즈마 속도가 증가하여 붕소를 기화시키기 위한 가열시간이 짧아지므로 방전기체 유량을 조절하여 적절한 속도를 가진 플라즈마를 발생시켜야 한다. 그리고 코일의 감은 수가 증가할수록 10,000 K 이상 고온영역이 출구 쪽으로 확장되어 붕화금속 나노입자를 합성하는데 좋은 조건이 형성되었다. 본 전산해석 결과를 바탕으로 붕화금속 나노입자를 합성하는 RF 플라즈마 발생장치의 설계 및 운전조건을 적용하여 실험과의 비교연구를 통해 붕화금속 나노입자의 합성공정을 최적화 시킬 수 있다.

In order to investigate transient behaviour of the CRW(Canard Rotor Wing) type UAV(Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle) propulsion system during flight mode transition considering flow control valve operation, the propulsion system was modelled using SIMULINK commercial program. For transient simulation of the main engine system, the ICV(Inter-Component Volume) method was applied. The valve system is to control the gas flow of the rotary duct system and the main duct system, and the analysis was performed with an assumption that the total gas mass flow of the main engine is the same as summation of the rotary duct flow and the main duct flow, and with consideration of valve loss, flow rate and effective area in valve angle variation. The performance analysis was carried out during flight mode transitions from the rotary flight mode to the fixed wing flight mode and vice versa mode at altitude of 1Km, flight Mach number 0.1 and maximum engine rpm.

The characteristics of involute gear pump with eccentric gap between gear tip and housing have been studied in terms of volumetric flow rate and/or flow efficiency. The analysis has been done with FLUENT/R-13 employing with k-e model for the turbulent flow under the given conditions of rotational velocity, gap distance and outlet pressure. The effect of parameters continues to be shown for the eccentric gear as same as for the concentric gear such that the volumetric flow rate (volumetric efficiency) increases as the increases of rotational velocity and decrease of gap distance and of outlet pressure. In the meantime, the shape of pressure build-up appears to be exponentially increase as gap distance decreases at upstream position. The pressure is rapidly developing in the upstream and remains almost constant thereafter in the downstream of circumferential flow path. This typical characteristics becomes more profound as eccentricity increases. The pump performance for the eccentric gear pump with minimum gap distance shows better than its concentric counterpart. However, it shows not for the concentric pump with minimum gap distance. Therefore, the gap reduction due to eccentricity may be positive for pump performance.

The combustion and flow-rate control characteristics of fuel-rich gas generator which could be adopted to Ducted Rocket propulsion system are investigated. The gas generator is designed considering the design requirements of propulsion system and solid fuel for fuel-rich combustion is developed then adopted to ground test. The results of combustion test show the necessity of the special analysis tool for estimating the gas generator performance where multi-phase flow of fuel-rich gas exists. During the flow-rate control test, characteristics of gas generator pressure with the angle of valve are analyzed and, method to estimate the pressure of gas generator is suggested using the relation between the valve exit area and discharge coefficient.

MOV(Main Oxidizer shut-off Valves) control the combustion of launch vehicle systems by the supply and the isolation of liquid oxygen to a main combustion chamber in launch vehicle systems. Moreover, in the steady operational state, the MOV should secure a constant flow rate of liquid oxygen for combustion instability in the combustion chamber. Concerning the development of MOV, TM(Technology Model) has been manufactured and normal operations of the valve have been verified. However, the Cv of TM has been proved to be too low as compared with a design specification value. Therefore, CFD analysis have been performed by modification of the configurations of TM in order to increase sufficiently Cv of EM(Engineering Model), which is the following model of TM. The modifications of TM configurations such as partial scale-up of valve, increase of stroke length, and outlet angle of 120o would result in a considerable augmentation of Cv. It has been verified by flow capacity tests that the improved Cv of EM is min. 212, which is higher than Cv of TM, 161 by about 32%.

A fan filter unit (FFU) is a device which supplies clean air from the ceiling in a clean room. With an increase in its size, velocity variation occurs within the exhaust plane and this damage the product quality or productivity. Hence, a guide vane is installed inside the device to enhance the velocity uniformity. Because the vane reduces the flow rate for a given pumping power, an optimum design is required to achieve velocity uniformity while minimizing the flow rate reduction at the same time. To find a geometry that satisfies these requirements, a series of numerical simulations has been conducted while changing the angle and length of the guide vanes. By changing the geometry of the side guide vane, the velocity uniformity increased by 3.7% and the flow rate decreased by 1.5%. For the center guide vane, the velocity uniformity increased by 2.9% and the flow rate decreased by 0.7%.

In this paper, we propose a turbine mass flow rate model for a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) using an artificial neural network (ANN). The model predicts the turbine mass flow rate using the VGT vane position, engine rotational speed, exhaust manifold pressure, exhaust manifold temperature, and turbine outlet pressure. The ANN is used for the estimation of the effective flow area. In order to validate the results estimated by the proposed model, we have compared estimation results with engine experimental results. The results, in addition, represent improved estimation accuracy when compared with the performance using the turbine map.

The purpose of this study is paper is to improve the flow performance and to reduce the aerodynamic noise of air discharge system consisting of a centrifugal fan, ducts and a housing for the clothes dryer. Using computational fluid dynamics and acoustic analogy based on FW-H (Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings) Eq., air flow field and acoustic fields of the air discharge system are investigated. To optimize aerodynamic performance and aerodynamic noise, the response surface method is employed. The two factors central composite design using the inflow and outflow angles of fan blades is adopted. The devised optimum design shows the reduction of turbulent kinetic energy in the ducts and the housing of the system, and as a result, the improved flow rate and reduce noise is confirmed. Finally, the experment using the proto-type manufactured usign the optimum design shows the increase of flow rate by 4.2 %.

Experimental studies were conducted on a l/5.03 scale reactor flow model of the Yong-gwang Nuclear Units 3 and 4. The purpose of the flow model test was to estimate the hydraulic effect in the reactor vessel due to the relative size difference between the ABB-CE's System 80 and the YGN 3&4 reactors. The flow model was designed according to the principle of similarity. Obtained from the test were the core inlet flow distribution, the core exit pressure deviations, and the segmental and overall pressure losses across the flow path from the reactor vessel inlet to outlet nozzle. These data will be used to provide input data for the core thermal margin analysis and to verify the analytical hydraulic design method.
