The SCR catalyst in coal-fired power plant is eroded by the collision of fly ash on the catalyst surface. However the erosion of SCR catalyst by the collision of fly ash has not been fully studied, especially in terms of fluid dynamics. Hence, in the present study, we focus on the gas and solid flows inside the SCR catalyst duct and their consequent effect on the erosion characteristics. For this purpose, computational fluid dynamics is applied to investigate the two-phase flows and to evaluate the erosion rate for different flow and particle injection conditions. Also, the erosion rate and pressure drop of commonly used square shape are compared with equilateral triangle and hexagon shapes. The pressure drop of SCR catalyst is increased when SCR catalyst surface area per unit volume increases. The erosion rate of SCR catalyst is enhanced when the particle velocity, mass flow rate of particle, particle diameter and cell density of SCR catalyst are increased. From the results, the pressure drop and erosion rate at the catalyst surface can be minimized by reducing cell density of SCR catalyst to decrease particle velocity and number of particle impacts.

본 연구에서는 3 차원 전산 열유동해석을 통하여 형상법칙에 근거하여 개발된 냉각판의 열수력학적인 특성을 분석하였다. 서펜타인 형상을 포함하여 최적화, 최적화되지 않은 1, 2 차 형상 총 5 개 형상을 대상으로 동일한 구속조건을 부여함으로써 유동저항, 열저항 및 분지유로에서의 유동균일도를 상호 비교함으로써 냉각판의 성능평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 최적화된 1, 2 차 형상 구조가 최적화되지 않은 경우와 비교하여 훨씬 적은 압력손실을 나타내었으며, 압력손실을 기준으로 최적화된 2 차 형상 구조가 가장 우수한 유동 구조를 나타내었다. 또한, 최적화된 1, 2 차 형상구조의 열저항 및 유동 분배성능도 기존에 사용되는 유로형상과 비교하여 모두 우수한 성능을 보였다.

We investigate the performance of multi-body wave energy converters (WECs). This investigation considers multiple scattering of water waves by the buoys of a WEC under the generalized mode approach. Predominantly, the effect of a WEC's configuration on its energy extraction is studied in this research. First, single-row terminator and single-column attenuator arrays of vertical cylinders have been studied. The performance of these attenuator arrays shows that the wall effect induced by the periodic buoys influences the wave propagation and energy extraction in these WECs. Further studies show that a single-row terminator array of vertical cylinders performs better than the corresponding single-column attenuator array. Subsequently, multi-row terminator arrays of vertical cylinders are investigated by conducting a parametric study. This parametric study shows that the hydrodynamic property of three resonance phenomena makes energy extraction efficiency drop down, and the magnitude of energy extracted oscillates between the resonance points in these WECs. Finally, a 4×8 terminator array of vertical cylinders is studied to determine the effect of various d_x (x-directional distance between adjacent rows) within this WEC on its performance. In particular, this study enforces at least two equal d_x values within the 4×8 terminator array of vertical cylinders. It shows that a small value of this d_x leads to better energy extraction efficiency in some of these various d_x arrays than that of a corresponding regular array with the same d_x.

본 논문은 12.7mm 원관을 변형하여 만든 세장비 0.6(짧은 직경 10.0mm, 긴 직경 16.5mm)의 타원관이 적용된 사인 웨이브 핀-관 열교환기의 습표면 공기측 성능실험에 관한 것이다. 핀 핏치와 열 수를 변화시켜 총 12개의 시료에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 타원관에서 핀 핏치 변화에 따른 j, f 인자의 영향은 미미 하였으나, 열수에 따라서는 1row에서 j인자가 가장 낮았다 (가장 높은 2row의 81%). 하지만 원관에서는 1row에서 가장 높게 나타나는 차이점을 보였다. 이는 타원관에 적용된 사인 웨이브 채널의 유동 특성에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 원관 열교환기와 $j/f^{1/3}$값을 비교한 결과 1열을 제외하고는 타원관 열교환기의 전열성능이 우수함을 알 수 있다. 즉, 타원관 열교환기의 $j/f^{1/3}$값이 원관의 값보다 2열에서 1.6~2.5 배, 3열에서 1.4~2.4 배, 4열에서 1.2~1.8배 크게 나타났다.

We conducted a study by computational simulation about the effects of frost thickness on the pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics as whole heat exchanger configuration changes. In order to perform the analysis for validation, we assumed that frost properties have constant values and the frost layers that are formed on the fin and tube surfaces are uniform. In order to find the constant thermal conductivity of frost layer, a variety of frost thermal conductivities are performed in our work and compared with the results by Lee et al. [4] and Yang et al. [5] proposed many experimental data about the 2-rows and 2-columns finned tube heat exchanger. The numerical results agreed well with the experimental data when frost conductivity is 0.07W/mK. After the validation had performed, we applied this procedure to the finned tube heat exchanger of domestic refrigeration and investigated the thermo-hydraulic characteristic of the heat exchanger affected by frost thickness according to the inlet velocities and temperatures of air considering the configuration change such as fin pitch.

The resistance to the passage of airflow through various agricultural products is an important consideration in the design of an aeration or drying system. The amount of resistance to airflow varied widely from one kind of grain to another, and depended upon airflow rate, surface texture and shape of the particles, the size and configuration of voids, and foreign and fine material in the grain bed. The airflow rate was the major factor considered on this kind of study in the early stages. But these days, the studies on the resistance to airflow of grain affected by grain moisture content and foreign and fine material have been widely carried out. However the foreign an fine material in the grain bed could not be a major factor on the study in Korea because there were only a few grain process procedure after harvesting it. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of moisture content and airflow rate on airflow resistance to grain, and to develop a model to predict the static pressure drop across the grain bed as a function of moisture content and airflow rate. The rough rice varieties, Akibare, Milyang 15 (Japonica types), Samkwang, Backyang (Indica types)and covered barley variety, Olbori, which were harvested in 1985 were used in the experiment after cleaning them. Resistances to airflow of grain were investigated at four levels of moisture content (13-25%, wb.) for ten different airflow rates($0.01-0.15m^3/sm^2$). The results of this study are summarized as follows; 1. Theaverage bulk densities were $585.3kg/m^3$ for rough rice and $691.6kg/m^3$ for barley at the loose fill, and were $648.8kg/m^3$ for rough rice and $758.2kg/m^3$ for barley at the packed fill. The pressure drops at the packed fill beds were approximately 1.4 to 1.8 times higher than those at the loose fill beds. 2. The pressure drops across grain beds deceased with the increase of moisture content and increased with airflow rate. The decreasing rates of pressure drop across grain beds according to the moisture contents at the lower airflow rates were higher than those at the higher airflow rates, and the increasing rates of pressure drop according to the airflow rates at the lower moisture contents were higher those at higher moisture contents. 3. The pressure drop across barley bed were much higher than rough rice beds and the pressure drops across Japonica type rough rice beds were a little higher than Indica type. 4. The mathematical models to predict the pressure drop across grain beds as a function of moisture content and airflow rate were developed from these experiments.

Mode II fracture toughness, $K_{IIC}$, of single-ply triaxially woven fabric (TWF) composite due to tow waviness and anisotropy effects were numerically and experimentally studied. The numerical wavy beam network model with anisotropic material description denoted as TWF anisotropic was first validated with experimental Mode II fracture toughness test employing the modified compact tensile shear specimen configuration. 2D planar Kagome and TWF isotropic models were additionally constructed for various relative densities, crack lengths, and cell size parameters for examining effects due to tow waviness and anisotropy. $K_{IIC}$ generally increased with relative density, the inverse of cell size, and crack length. It was found that both the waviness and anisotropy of tow inflict a drop in $K_{IIC}$ of TWF. These effects were more adverse due to the waviness of tow compared to anisotropy.

Optimal design of an air-to-liquid finned plate heat exchanger is considered theoretically in this study. Based on existing correlations for the pressure loss and the heat transfer in channel flows, the optimal configuration of the plate heat exchanger including the optimal plate pitch and the optimal fin pitch is obtained to maximize the heat transfer within the limit of the pressure drop for a given flow depth of the plate heat exchanger. It is found that the optimal fin pitch is about one ninth of the optimal plate pitch. In the optimal configuration, the flow and thermal condition in the channels is just at the boundary between the laminar developing and laminar fully developed states. It is also found when reducing the flow depth of plate heat exchangers for compactness, the heat transfer performance can be maintained exactly the same if the geometric parameters such as the plate thickness, plate pitch, fin thickness, and fin pitch are reduced proportional to the square root of the flow depth as long as the flow keeps laminar within the heat exchangers.

A new baffle configuration, an annular baffles, are considered in the present study as an alternative to reduce the excessive pressure drop associated with the conventional segmental ones in typical operating conditions. The heat transfer and pressure drops are numerically simulated for a single tube shell-and-tube model and compared against the conventional-baffle cases. Baffle blockage ratio and number of baffles are considered as the major variables for the present study specifying a fixed baffle spacing. It is found that the heat transfer increases 1.4~2.2 times without significant pressure loss compared to the bare tube cases and the goodness factor increases 1.35 times compared to the conventional-baffle model.

This study proposes a design method of fuel cell DC/DC converter using in 5-ton forklift. For efficient hydrogen usage, targeted fuel cell system recirculates discarded hydrogen after fuel cell reaction. Recirculating hydrogen contains much impurities that reduces output power, increasing pressure that can damage the internal fuel cell reaction system. The proposed DC/DC converter effectively converts fuel cell power considering the voltage drop rate to reflect the recirculating hydrogen. Then, frequency control method is used to regulate the current ripple amount for battery and fuel cell hybrid configuration. Proposed power converter system design and control methods are verified in a practical fuel cell system that implements recirculating hydrogen.
