본 연구는 향후 산업적으로 질소산화물 규제가 중요한 문제로 대두될 만한 산업용 보일러를 대상으로 수행하였다. 일반적으로 SNCR 방법의 산업용 보일러로의 적용은 혼합을 위한 충분한 체류시간을 제공하지 못한다는 점에서 적합하지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 SNCR 장치의 산업용 보일러 적용가능성을 조사하기 위한 것이다. 구체적으로 연료로 중유를 사용하는 시간당 스팀 발생량 40톤 규모의 산업용 보일러를 연구 대상으로 하였다. 사업용 보일러의 수치 해석을 위한 3-D 직교좌표계 프로그램에는 난류 유동, 난류 연소반응, NOx의 생성과 환원제와의 반응을 통한 소멸반응 등을 포함하고 있다. 또한 개발된 코드에는 Lagrangian 방법에 의한 입자궤적 프로그램이 포함되어 있고, 주입구에서 접선방향으로의 선회효과를 계산에 의해 고려하였다. 선회버너 효과를 고려한 결과 단화염이 생성되었으며 NOx 환원반응에 적합한 온도 영역의 증가로 인해 NOx 제거효율도 향상되었다. 실험결과와의 비교를 통하여 프로그램을 검증하였으며, 계산결과 혼합용 공기 주입을 통한 환원제와의 혼합 향상을 통해서 SNCR 방법의 산업용 보일러 적용가능성을 확인하였다.

The common-rail injectors are the most critical component of the CRDI diesel engines that dominantly affect engine performances through high pressure injection with exact control. Thus, from now on the advanced combustion technologies for common-rail diesel injection engine require high performance fuel injectors. Accordingly, the previous studies on the numerical and experimental analysis of the diesel injector have focused on a optimum geometry to induce proper injection rate. In this study, computational predictions of performance of the diesel injector have been performed to evaluate internal flow characteristics for various needle lift and the spray pattern at the nozzle exit. To our knowledge, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the internal flow passage of an entire injector duct including injection and return routes has never been studied. In this study, major design parameters concerning internal routes in the injector are optimized by using a CFD analysis and Response Surface Method (RSM). The computational prediction of the internal flow characteristics of the common-rail diesel injector was carried out by using STAR-CCM+7.06 code. In this work, computations were carried out under the assumption that the internal flow passage is a steady-state condition at the maximum needle lift. The design parameters are optimized by using the L16 orthogonal array and polynomial regression, local-approximation characteristics of RSM. Meanwhile, the optimum values are confirmed to be valid in 95% confidence and 5% significance level through analysis of variance (ANOVA). In addition, optimal design and prototype design were confirmed by calculating the injection quantities, resulting in the improvement of the injection performance by more than 54%.

This paper presents a numerical study on the rotordynamic analysis of a dual-spool turbofan engine in the context of blade defect events. The blades of an axial-type aeroengine are typically well aligned during the compressor and turbine stages. However, they are sometimes exposed to damage, partially or entirely, for several operational reasons, such as cracks due to foreign objects, burns from the combustion gas, and corrosion due to oxygen in the air. Herein, we designed a dual-spool rotor using the commercial 3D modeling software CATIA to simulate blade defects in the turbofan engine. We utilized the rotordynamic parameters to create two finite element Euler-Bernoulli beam models connected by means of an inter-rotor bearing. We then applied the unbalanced forces induced by the mass eccentricities of the blades to the following selected scenarios: 1) fully balanced, 2) crack in the low-pressure compressor (LPC) and high pressure compressor (HPC), 3) burn on the high-pressure turbine (HPT) and low pressure compressor, 4) corrosion of the LPC, and 5) corrosion of the HPC. Additionally, we obtained the transient and steady-state responses of the overall rotor nodes using the Runge-Kutta numerical integration method, and employed model reduction techniques such as component mode synthesis to enhance the computational efficiency of the process. The simulation results indicate that the high-vibration status of the rotor commences beyond 10,000 rpm, which is identified as the first critical speed of the lower speed rotor. Moreover, we monitored the unbalanced stages near the inter-rotor bearing, which prominently influences the overall rotordynamic status, and the corrosion of the HPC to prevent further instability. The high-speed range operation (>13,000 rpm) coupled with HPC/HPT blade defects possibly presents a rotor-case contact problem that can lead to catastrophic failure.
