This research was carried out to test and analyse the capability of a fan for development of a sprayer in actual livestock farm. A fan was designed and made to be able to spray agricultural chemicals within 140mm in a maximum scattering range and 100m in an effective scattering range. Accordingly, its' flow rate was $3,600\;m^3/min$, and static pressure was 100 mmAq for a wide area sprayer to be sprayed widely and far. Fan performance, which was given $600\;m^3/min$ flow rate and 500 mmAq total pressure, was tested fur basic experiment. As the result, the axial power showed minimum error, which be designed to keep the fan performance. And power efficiency was the maximum. Sound level was 92.1dB that wasn't enough to environmental standard. If we take the sealed place into consideration, sound level is suitable for environmental standard.

The main object of this experiment is to estimate the hydrodynamic forces acting on a submerged streamlined body placed in a one-end-opened cylindrical tube moving with certain translational velocity. The best experimental design for this object is mimicking real situation, however sizes of model body and cylinder tube are just the same as those of real, for avoiding scale effects, mimicking real situation is not realizable. Hence, in this experiment, target body and cylindrical tube were designed to be towed with varying body position relative to cylindrical tube. For measuring hydrodynamic forces and flow velocity in the cylindrical tube, six one-component load cells and several one-hole Pitot tubes were used. Several conditions were checked with various end-plates those had different opening areas. Experiment results show that forces and flow velocity had different tendency with those expected, and the presence of a end-plate slows down the flow velocity in the cylindrical tube and affects pressure field in the tube to push the model submerged body forward of the tube. This tendency grows with decreasing opened area.

The optimum design of Hanyang low speed wind tunnel has been performed to augment flow uniformity and to reduce turbulence intensity of wind tunnel test section have to be known for reliability of wind tunnel test. The non-uniformity and turbulence intensity of Hanyang low speed wind tunnel were measured with Pilot tube and X-type hot-wire probe at various wind speeds. As the results, the non-uniformity decreases as the wind speed increases. The non-uniformity is relatively high in the proximity of the diffuser. The turbulence intensity is a little higher than design requirement in the middle of the test section.

Aerodynamic optimization of an automotive air-conditioning blower is a hard task because of the highly complex flow phenomena related to three-dimensional flow separations and the unsteady nature caused by the interaction between primary and secondary air flows throughout the fan. In this paper, an aerodynamic study on a forward-curved centrifugal fan has been carried out Firstly we obtained the fan performance curves versus flow rates showing its unstable nature in the surging operation range. Secondly aerodynamic characterizations were carried out by investigating the velocity and pressure fields in the casing flow passage using a 5-hole pilot probe, at different operating conditions. Surface flow pattern near the cut-off area exhibits similar flow behavior above the best efficiency operating point, although the pressure level increases substantially with the Increase of flow rate. Vorticity in the casing passage flow occurs in all (low rates, downstream from the r-Z plane $\theta$=120 deg., where the position of its core changes with the circumferential location. Although complex, the general flow behavior were common, giving insight in its main aerodynamic features.

The flow velocity distribution at inlet and exit of Diesel Particulate Filter(DPF) by fabricating L-shape connector with the DPF was measured using a Pitot-tube and 2-D transverse machine. An adaptor designed for making the Pitot tube probe access to the inlet and exit of the DPF was connected with the inlet and exit flange of the DPF, respectively. The Pitot tube which was mounted in the 2-D positioning machine could access to the inlet and exit of the DPF through the rectangular window of the adaptor. The L-shape connector in the DPF inlet has a flow guide which is a perforated steel pipe. The flow velocity distribution at the inlet of the DPF showed a chaotic velocity distribution which is different from that with a diffuser type connector. The velocity distribution at the exit of the DPF showed a crown shape which is similar to that of the diffuser type connector. The velocity distribution at the exit of DPF showed different patterns according to the air flow rate.

Test models which have geometrical similarities with a real room air conditioner (RAC) have been manufactured including visualization windows so that a laser beam can pass through a cross flow fan. Then, flow distributions of the RAC have been investigated using a visualization technique such as a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to analyze an efficiency and noise of the RAC. Pitot tubes have also been used to measure the flow velocity inside the RAC with various positions to confirm the measurement accuracy of the PIV technique. The measured flow velocities have been analyzed and new designs of the RAC have been proposed to improve the efficiency and to reduce the noise for the RAC in this study.

Detailed characteristics of the mean flow field inside the rotor of a multiblade fan with scroll are presented in this paper by measurements and visualizations. The measurements were taken with a five-hole probe and conformed by smoke test. How field is distinguished clearly in 3 regions with respect to the flow directions. The first region is near the exit of scroll where the fluid flows the opposite direction to the rotation of rotor. The second is opposite side of the scroll exit where the fluid flows the same direction to the rotation of rotor. The third is the region where the fluid flows toward the blades directly with the largest values comparatively. The strongest recirculation is happened in the second region, and the weakest one is in the third region. This complex configuration makes the flow field highly non-uniform and may cause to generate a noise and ineffective flow efficiency.

The purpose of this research is to determine the calibration constants of the wind speed measurement systems required to calculate the wind tunnel velocity in the test section. In the present work, the aerodynamic calibration tests of the test section were conducted in the Agency for Defense Development's Low-Speed Wind Tunnel. The test speed ranged from 10 to 100 m/s with a reference pitot-static pressure probe. The validity of the calibration results was evaluated by comparing them with the previous calibration constants. The calibration results show that fair to good agreement is obtained with resonable accuracy.
