Valves has been used widely in various industries. There are many purposes for valve usage in a piping system. One of them is to control the flow rate. For a design of ball valves, it is important to know the characteristics of flows inside a ball valve. In this study, the computation fluid dynamics were conducted to observe flow velocity, flow coefficient and pressure distribution using CFX 10 according to the valve angles and uniform incoming velocity.

고압을 받는 플랜트용 제품 설계 시에 대부분 강건 구조를 지양하다 보면 안전율이 높아지고 중량이 과다 해지는 문제가 있다. 본 논문은 플랜트용 이축 볼밸브 볼의 경량화를 위하여 밸브의 3차원 모델링과 ANSYS를 적용한 유한요소해석으로 응력해석을 수행한 후에, 허용 응력 범위와 설계 변경 제한 조건 내에서 최적화 과정으로 볼의 중량 감소를 달성하였다. 약 22%의 볼 중량이 감소되었고 응력은 증가하였으나 안전계수는 1.25가 되었다. 볼의 일부분에 과도한 응력이 있으나 대부분 재료의 항복응력 허용치 내에 있어 안전한 상태이다. 유동의 흐름을 제어하는 실링 (seal) 역할을 하는 시트 인서트와 시트 링 등 밸브의 3차원 모델에 대한 정적 구조해석으로 응력 값을 확인하여 안전함을 확인하였고, 또한 대칭 구조인 부분에 대해 2차원 단순 모델의 구조해석으로 같은 결과가 도출됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 범위는 볼의 중량 감소라 볼의 감소된 치수가 도출되었으며, 주변 부재의 재설계는 (신제품 개발에 해당되어) 본 연구에 고려되지 않는다.

A PFA lined ball valve, which is machined with fluorinated resin PFA to its inner part for improving corrosion resistance, non-stickness, heat-resistance, has been widely used in semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes with the high purity chemicals as working fluid. Due to the safety concerns, the experiments for measuring the flow coefficient of a PFA lined ball valve should be conducted with water at room temperature according to IEC standards. However, it is required to know the real flow coefficient with the real working fluid, because the flow coefficient is critical to correctly design valves in piping system. In this study, we calculated the flow coefficient of a PFA lined ball valve 40A with hydrochloric acid ($40^{\circ}C$ 36% HCl) as the working fluid using a commercial CFD package, ANSYS CFX v15. The computational results had a good agreement with the measured data and showed a little difference between water and hydrochloric acid as the working fluid of a PFA lined ball valve.

A PFA lined ball valve, which is machined with fluorinated resin PFA to its inner part for improving corrosion resistance, non-stickness, heat-resistance, has been widely used to the chemical/pharmaceutical industries, the semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes, etc. with the high purity chemicals as working fluid. EPA stated that 60% of all fugitive emissions come from the valve stem packing in a typical petroleum or chemical processing plant. They monitor regulated components for leaks and maintain seal performance at acceptable levels. Korean industrial standards only deals with the bubble test for in-line leakage of valves, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-4}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], therefore, it is not sufficient to check fugitive emissions. In this study, we conducted Helium leak detection from a PFA lined ball valve and evaluated fugitive emissions according to ISO 15848-1, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-9}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], for manufacturing the high-reliable PFA lined ball valves against fugitive emissions.

In modern industrial society, many kinds of valves have been used to control fluid flow. For the optimization of a ball valve, a quarter of spherical ball was modeled and evaluated. However, there is a difficulty in the application of the optimization technique because of the complexity of the fluid and the restriction of analysis. Therefore, in this study, it is performed to evaluate the stability of an initial model using FEM(Finite Element Method) and CFD. In addition, a shape optimization design of the valve is accomplished using an orthogonal arrangement and characteristic functions. From the result, a new design method is represented that could overcome the time and space restriction in structural design, such as the divided ball valve with less experiment.

볼밸브는 밸브의 가운데 구멍이 뚫린 구 모양의 볼이 회전에 의해 구멍을 닫거나 열어 밸브를 개폐시킨다. 본 연구에서는 플랜트장치용 고온용 볼밸브에 관한 것으로써, 사용되는 유체는 고온의 스팀을 사용하는 볼밸브이다. 고온의 스팀을 유체로 사용함에 따라 볼밸브에 열응력이 발생하기 때문에 초기모델에서의 열-구조 연성해석을 실시하여 고온용 볼밸브의 구조적 안정성을 검토하였다. 검토한 결과 폴리테트라 플루오르에틸렌 재질의 시트에서 항복응력 이상의 값이 나타나였다. 본 연구에서는 시트의 최적화를 실시하여 항복응력 이내의 구조적 안정성을 찾고자 하였다. 시트의 최적화를 위해 2개의 형상설계 변수를 선정하였고, 최적화 과정 중에 설계요구조건으로 시트의 길이와 두께에 관련하여 기준을 고려하였다. 시트의 응력과 질량을 고려한 30개의 표본점을 만들어 최적화 과정을 진행하였으며, 최적화 기법으로서 크리깅 내삽법을 이용한 메타모델 최적화 방법을 적용하였다. 그 결과 항복응력 이내의 구조적 안전성을 만족하는 시트의 두께와 길이를 찾을 수 있었고, 이에 따른 개도별 유동해석을 실시하여 볼밸브의 성능지표를 나타내는 유량계수 값을 구하여 볼밸브의 성능을 검토하였다.

3-way ball valves have been mostly used for high temperature/high pressure valves using in petrochemical carriers and oil tankers, which requires high quality products with confidentiality and durability. As a larger disaster may be generated by leakage of oil or gas from valves, thus the present research applied a numerical analysis method with thermal-structural coupled field analysis and the performance test. The Max stress by parts was confirmed through thermal-structural coupled field analysis and develop the 3-way ball valve design, which is safe on operating condition. And its performance was verified by carrying out pressure test, leakage test and durability test for the manufactured 3-way ball valves with satisfying it's regulations.

This paper presents on the evaluation of numerical analysis model of a ball valve used for a gas pipeline. The ball valve has important role to control the gas flow of the pipeline as well as safety operation to prevent gas explosion at the emergency. For the validation of numerical simulation, the computational domains are introduced three different types: a hexahedron chamber connected to a pipeline outlet without considering the geometry of pressure tubes, a pipeline only considered the geometry of pressure tubes, and a pipeline connected both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes. The commercial code, SC/Tetra, is introduced to solve the three-dimensional steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis in the present study. The valve flow coefficient and valve loss coefficient with respect to the valve opening rate of 30%, 50%, and 70% are compared with experimental results. Throughout the numerical analysis for the three analysis domains, pressure computed along the pipeline is affected by computational domains. It is noted pressure obtained by the computational model considering both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes has a relatively good agreement to the experimental data.

In this paper, dynamic characteristics of an AT clutch system were investigated considering the dynamics of check ball and hydraulic control valves. Dynamic model of a pressure control solenoid valve (PCSV) was obtained by Bondgraph and permeance method. Also, the clutch piston and check ball dynamics were modeled by considering the effect of centrifugal force of the oil entrapped in the clutch chamber. In order to validate the dynamic models obtained, plunger displacement of PCSV and pressure response of the clutch supply lines were compared with the available experimental data, which were in good accordance with the numerical results. Using the dynamic model of the clutch system, simulations were performed to investigate the effect of the rotational speed on the response of clutch cylinder pressure, clutch piston and check ball displacement, and oil flow rate into the cylinder and flow rate out of the check valve.
