생산지로부터 LNG 선박으로 수송되어 각 생산기지의 저장탱크로 저장되는 액화천연가스 (LNG; Liquified Natural Gas)는 극저은인 Boiling Point보다 약간 낮은 온도 ($-162^{\circ}C$)로 전송된다. LNG 전송은 배관을 통하여 이루어지며, 이로 인하여 배관 내에는 2상 유동 (2-Phase Flow)이 자주 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 이러한 배관내의 2상 유동대한 압력강하량 계산법을 연구하였고, 단열재와 배관 표면을 통한 외부 열유입량과 그에 따른 BOG (Boil-off Gas) 발생량 계산 방법을 연구하여, 이들을 기반으로 LNG 배관시스템의 열유동 해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 본 연구 및 프로그램 개발을 토대로 최적의 단열재 두께와 배관 Size를 구할 수 있는 최적 설계 프로그램을 구축하였다. 이는 배관설계 시 주어진 최대 허용 압력 강하량과 BOG 발생량 등의 허용 운전 조건과, 단위 길이 당 배관가격과 단위 부피당 단열재가격을 기준으로 허용 범위 내의 최소 설비 비용을 찾는 최적 설계 방법이다.

Y-junction microchannels are widely used as a flew mixer. Fluids are entered from two branch channels and merged together at a combined channel. In this study, we suggest a simple method to create the fluid digitization using flow instability phenomena. Two immiscible liquids (water/oil) are infused continuously to each Y-junction inlets. Because of the differences in fluid and flow properties at the interface, oil droplet is formed automatically followed by flow instability. In order to clarify the hydrodynamic aspects involved in oil droplet formation, a quantitative flow visualization study has performed. Highly resolved velocity vector fields are obtained by a micro-PIV technique, so that detail flow structures around the droplet are illustrated. In this study, fluorescent particles were mixed with water only for visualization of oil droplet and velocity field measurement in water flow.

In this study, the mixing process of two-phase flow generated by two jets with height difference is analyzed. The primary jet is jetted on the condition of the state mixed pulverized solid particles with air. The height difference between the main jet and the secondary jet is changed into three kinds(0, 32.5, 47.5mm). The velocity vector field, concentration field and turbulent properties of solid particles are measured by using 3-Dimensional Particles Dynamics Analyzer. As the height difference of two jets through the two nozzles increases, the solid particle recirculation zone and the dense zone in the combustion chamber become large. The solid particle concentration at the center of the combustion chamber gets dense because the particle velocity remains slow due to the existence of the solid particle recirculation zone. The particle concentration in the combustion chamber can also be influenced by the hight difference of two jets.

The phenomena of two-phase suspension flows appear widely in nature and industrial processes. Hence, it is of great importance to understand the mechanism of the gas-solid two-phase flows. In the present study, the numerical simulation has been approached by utilizing the Eulerian-Lagrangian methodology for describing the characteristics of the fluid and particulate phases in a vertical pipe and a 90°square-sectioned bend. The continuous phase(gas phase) is described by the Eulerian formulation and a κ-ε turbulence model is employed to find mean and turbulent properties of the gas phase. The particle properties(velocity and trajectory) are then described by a Lagrangian approach and computed using the mean velocity and turbulent fluctuating velocity of the gas phase. The predictions are compared with measurements by laser-Doppler velocimeter for the validation. As a result, the calculated results show good agreements.

In this study, experimental and numerical analyses are carried out to investigate the performance of centrifugal pump with various air admitting conditions. Experiments on the pump performance under air-water two-phase flow are accomplished using a centrifugal pump with semi-open type impeller having three, five and seven blades, respectively. Also, the numerical analysis of turbulent air-water two-phase flow using the finite volume method has been carried out to obtain the pressure, velocities and void fraction on the basis of a so-called bubbly flow model with the constant size and shape of cavity. The results obtained through this study show the reasonable agreements within the range of bubbly flow regime. There are promising developments concerning application of the present study for the flow in a centrifugal pump with two-phase flow conditions and efforts must be followed to improve the turbulence model and two-phase flow model for turbomachinery.

An experimental and analytical study was made on the heat transfer characteristics of one small (150 W), two medium (60 and 1,500 W, respectively) and two large (7,500and 100,000 W) two-phase loop thermosyphons (TLT), and the results from the experiments were used to see if a computer simulation code alone for such TLT heat transfer systems would give any meaningful quantitative results without being accompanied with some benchmark experimental verification. Two simulation methods were used for the analysis of the systems, i.e., the lumped and the sectorial thermal resistance methods. The study clearly shows that the computer simulation for the three TLTs can predict the most cases of the affecting parameters involved, provided that correct empirical correlations are used. To do so, however, the interior temperature distribution had to be verified by experiment.

In this study the mixing process of two-phase flow which makes two jets existing vlocity difference are analyzed. The primary jet is jetted on the condition of the state mixed pulverized solid pariticle with air and the velocity in the secondary jet is changed into three kinds velocities(0.60, 75m/s) The velocity vector field concentration field and turbulent properties of solid particles are measured by using 3-Dimensional Particles Dynamics Analyzer. As the velocity of secondary jet increases the solid particle recirculation zone becomes larger. Also solid particle concentration gets dense due to velocity decrement of particles.

A heat exchanger (100,000 W) using two-phase loop thermosyphons (TLT) was developed as a waste heat recovery system. An experimental and simulation study was carried out on the heat transfer characteristics of TLT heat exchanger, and the results from the experiments were used to see the possibility which the TLT heat exchanger could be an alternate solution for waste heat recovery system. The experimental results showed the provisional results as a waste heat recovery system. Also computer simulation code can predict the TLT system about the effects of various variables for the operation. Computer simulation results based on the thermal resistance networks were compared with the experimental results. The study clearly shows that the computer simulation for the TLT heat exchanger can Predict the most cases of the affecting parameters involved, provided that correct empirical correlations are used.

Characteristics of two-phase flow and heat transfer were numerically investigated in a submerged gas injection system when temperature of the injected gas was different from that of the liquid. The Eulerian approach was used for both the continuous and dispersed phases. The turbulence in the liquid phase was modeled using the standard $k-\varepsilon$$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. The interphase friction and heat transfer coefficient were calculated from the correlations available in the literature. The turbulent dispersion of the phases was modeled by a "dispersion Prandtl number". In the case with heat transfer where the temperature of the injected gas is higher than the mean liquid temperature, the axial and the radial velocities are lower in comparison with the case of homogeneous temperatures. The results in the present research are of interest in the design and operation of a wide variety of material and chemical processes.
