An experimental study was performed to investigate characteristics of an inverter driven water-to-water refrigeration system with a variation of compressor frequencies and expansion devices. The frequency of a compressor varied from 30Hz to 75Hz, and performance of the systems applying three different expansion devices such as capillary tube, thermostatic expansion valve(TXV), and electronic expansion valve(EEV) were measured. The load conditions were altered by varying the temperature of the secondary fluid entering condenser and evaporator with a constant flow rate. When the test conditions were deviated from the standard value(rated value), TXV and EEV showed better performance than capillary tube due to optimum control of mass flow rate and superheat. In the present study, it was observed that the variable area expansion device had better performance than constant area expansion device in an inverter refrigeration system due to active control of flow area with a change of compressor frequency and load conditions.

The solar energy retention rate of a flat plate collector can be increased by increasing water flow rate through the collector which also increases the pumping energy incurred in obtaining that solar energy. The problem of optimal flow rate is formulated to fit within the framework of pontryagin's maximum principle and with a few simplifying assumptions, an optimal solution that can be easily implemented is obtaincd, The optimal solution is used in the simulation of a solar heating system using actual climatological data and the results are compared with that of on-off control. The result that not only the object function but, In some cases, also the solar energy retention rate the collector is increased. In is also found that the optimal control gets more advantageous as the solar insolation level gets lower, and also as tile cost of auxiliary heating fuel gets higher.

본 논문은 수직 오리피스 이젝터의 혼합유동 및 산소전달 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 실험장치는 전동 모터-펌프, 오리피스 이젝터, 순환 수조, 공기압축기, 고속 카메라 시스템 그리고 제어 및 측정기기로 구성하였다. 측정된 구동유체 및 유입공기의 유량을 이용하여 유량비를 도출하였다. 이적터에서 분출된 혼합유동의 가시화를 통해 정성적 거동을 고찰하였으며, 용존산소 농도를 측정하여 총괄 산소전달계수를 도출하였다. 구동유체의 유량이 일정하고 압축기의 공기압이 높아지면 유량비와 산소전달계수는 증가하며, 압축기의 공기압이 일정하고 구동유체의 유량이 증가하면 유량비는 감소하지만 산소전달계수는 증가하였다. 기포의 크기에 따른 체류시간 및 확산도와 수직 혼합유동의 도달거리는 2 상의 접촉면적과 시간에 크게 영향을 미치기 때문에 산소전달율의 중요한 변수임을 유추할 수 있다.

농업과 IT기술 융합이 가속화됨에 따라 식물공장 내 작물의 품질 및 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 식물공장의 생산성을 최대화하기 위해서는 먼저 시설 내부의 특성을 고려하여 생육에 적합한 열 환경과 공기의 흐름을 제공하기 위한 고도의 생장환경 관리기술이 필요하다. 현재 운영되고 있는 식물공장은 특화된 공기유동장치의 설계 및 운영기술이 확립되지 않아 온도 기류 편차로 인한 불균일한 품질의 작물 생산, 재배기간 연장에 따른 에너지 소비 등의 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 식물공장 시설의 설계 단계에서 전산유체역학 시뮬레이션을 이용한 공기유동장치의 배치 및 운영기술에 대한 최적화 과정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 시뮬레이션을 이용한 순환 팬의 적정 배치 및 유속을 파악하여 식물공장 시설 내부의 각 지점별 온도 편차를 최소화하고 에너지소비를 절감한다. 시뮬레이션 조건은 순환 팬의 설치 위치 및 수량 그리고 유속변화에 따라 총 12가지의 Case로 구분하였으며 해석을 위한 경계 조건 변수는 동일하게 설정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 2set의 순환 팬을 식물재배기 상단에 부착한 Case D의 제어 조건이 설정온도에 부합하는 296.33K의 평균온도를 유지하면서 식물생육에 적합한 0.51m/s의 기류분포를 보였다. 또한, 순환 팬의 유속을 변화시킨 결과, 출구 유속을 2.09/s로 설정한 Case D-3이 에너지 효율 측면에서 가장 우수한 결과를 보였다.

When a liquid is supplied through a nozzle onto a relatively non-wetting inclined solid surface, a narrow rivulet forms. There exist several regimes of rivulet flow depending on various flow conditions. In this paper, the fundamental mechanism behind the transition of a linear rivulet to a droplet flow is investigated. The experiments show that the droplet flow emerges due to the necking of a liquid thread near the nozzle. Based on the observation, it is argued that when the retraction velocity of a liquid thread exceeds its axial velocity, the bifurcation of the liquid thread occurs, and this argument is experimentally verified.

Recently, plastic products in air-intake parts of automotive engines have become very popular due to advantages that include reduced weight, constricted cost, and lower intake air temperature. However, flow-induced noise in air-intake parts becomes a more serious problem for plastic intake-manifolds than for conventional aluminum-made manifolds. This is due to the fact that plastic manifolds transmit more noise owing to their lower material density. Internal aerodynamic noise from an Idle Speed control Actuator (ISA) is qualitatively analyzed by using a scaling law, which is expressed with some flow parameters such as pressure drop, maximum flow velocity, and turbulence kinetic energy. First, basic flow characteristics through ISA passage are identified with the flow predictions obtained by applying Computational Fluid Dynamics techniques. Then, the effects on ISA passage noise of each design factors including the duct turning shape and vane geometries are assessed. Based on these results, the preliminary low noise design for the ISA passage are proposed. The current method for the prediction of internal aerodynamic noise consists of the steady CFD and the scaling laws for the noise prediction. This combination is most cost-effective, compared with other methods, and therefore is believed to be suited for the preliminary design tool in the industrial field.

In order to solve the increasing deterioration of the energy shortage problem, ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems have been widely installed. The control method is a significant component for maintaining the long-term performance and for reducing operation cost of GSHP systems. This paper presents the measurement and analysis results of the cooling performance of a GSHP system using capacity control with outdoor air temperature. For this, we installed monitoring equipments including sensors for measuring temperature, flow rate and power consumption, and then monitored operation parameters from July 9, 2021 to October 2, 2021. From measurement results, we analyze the effect of capacity control with outdoor air temperature on the cooling performance of the system. The average performace factor (PF) of the heat pump was 6.95, while the whole system was 5.54 over the measurement period. Because there was no performance data of the existing GSHP system, it was not possible to directly compare the existing control method and the outdoor air temperature method. However, it is expected that the performance of the entire system will be improved by adjusting the temperature of cold water produced by the heat pump, that is, the temperature of cold water on the load side according to the outside air temperature.

화재 시 피난로의 연기의 확산 침투를 막기 위한 제연 댐퍼의 성능 특성은 FIS 001 규정에 의해 시험되고 있지만 시험 방법 및 규정에 대한 개선 요구가 지속적으로 제시되었다. 유체역학적인 관점에서 급기 시스템의 끝단에 위치한 제연 댐퍼의 특성은 전체 제연시스템의 성능에 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 자동차압댐퍼에 관한 FIS 001 규정의 취약점을 논하고 댐퍼의 주요 특성을 다양한 방법으로 시험하였다. 이러한 실험 결과 시험 장치 내의 유속 교란은 댐퍼의 성능 특성 시험에 영향이 적음을 확인하였으며 누기량 및 방연 풍속 확보 등과 관련된 실험을 추가 수행하였다. 이러한 결과는 자동차압댐퍼의 성능 시험을 위한 설비 구축 및 시험 규정의 개선에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The present study has conducted cycle design and control technology of a water source VRF heat pump system. Previously, study of a simultaneous heating and cooling in an air source VRF heat pump system has been conducted. However, performance data and design methods for simultaneous heating and cooling in a water source VRF heat pump system are limited in the literature, due to various system parameters and operating conditions. In this study, the operating characteristics and performances of a simultaneous heating and cooling heat pump system are carried out, in simultaneous operation modes. Control logics of an EEV are developed for flow rate control to the outdoor unit, and are verified. When the control logics are applied, the simultaneous cooling and heating performances are sufficiently achieved, and system COPs are increased by up to 23.4%.
