On the basis of fabrication, the utilization of nano material in numerous industrial and technological system, obtained the utmost significance in current decade. Therefore, the current investigation presents a theoretical disposition regarding the flow of electric conducting Williamson nanoliquid over a stretchable surface in the presence of the motile microorganism. The impact of thermal radiation and magnetic parameter are incorporated in the energy equation. The concentration field is modified by adding the influence of chemical reaction. Moreover, the splendid features of nanofluid are displayed by utilizing the thermophoresis and Brownian motion aspects. Compatible similarity transformation is imposed on the equations governing the problem to derive the dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The Homotopy analysis method has been implemented to find the analytic solution of the obtained differential equations. The implications of specific parameters on profiles of velocity, temperature, concentration and motile microorganism density are investigated graphically. Moreover, coefficient of skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and density of motile number are clarified in tabular forms. It is revealed that thermal radiation, thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters are very effective for improvement of heat transfer. The reported investigation can be used in improving the heat transfer appliances and systems of solar energy.

The electromembrane process, which has advantages such as scalability, sustainability, and eco-friendliness, is used in renewable energy fields such as fuel cells and reverse electrodialysis power generation. Most of the research to visualize the internal flow in the electromembrane process has mainly been conducted on heterogeneous ion exchange membranes, because of the non-uniform swelling characteristics of the homogeneous membrane. In this study, we successfully visualize the electro-convective vortices near the Nafion homogeneous membrane in PDMS-based microfluidic devices. To reinforce the mechanical rigidity and minimize the non-uniform swelling characteristics of the homogeneous membrane, a newly developed swelling supporter was additionally adapted to the Nafion membrane. Thus, a clear image of electroconvective vortices near the Nafion membrane could be obtained and visualized. As a result, we observed that the heterogeneous membrane has relatively stronger electroconvective vortices compared to the Nafion homogeneous membranes. Regarding electrical response, the Nafion membrane has a higher limiting current and less overlimiting current compared to the heterogeneous membrane. Based on our visualization, it is assumed that the heterogeneous membrane has more activated electroconvective vortices, which lower electrical resistance in the overlimiting current regime. We anticipate that this work can contribute to the fundamental understanding of the ion transport characteristics depending on the homogeneity of ion exchange membranes.

The collimator is one of the high-heat-flux components used to avoid a series of vacuum and thermal problems. In this paper, the heat load distribution throughout the collimator is first calculated through experimental data, and a transient thermodynamic simulation analysis of the original model is carried out. The error of the pipe outlet temperature between the simulated and experimental values is 1.632%, indicating that the simulation result is reliable. Second, the model is optimized to improve the heat transfer performance of the collimator, including the contact mode between the pipe and the flange, the pipe material and the addition of a twisted tape in the pipe. It is concluded that the convective heat transfer coefficient of the optimized model is increased by 15.381% and the maximum wall temperature is reduced by 16.415%; thus, the heat transfer capacity of the optimized model is effectively improved. Third, to adapt the long-pulse steady-state operation of the experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in the future, steady-state simulations of the original and optimized collimators are carried out. The results show that the maximum temperature of the optimized model is reduced by 37.864% compared with that of the original model. The optimized model was changed as little as possible to obtain a better heat exchange structure on the premise of ensuring the consumption of the same mass flow rate of water so that the collimator can adapt to operational environments with higher heat fluxes and long pulses in the future. These research methods also provide a reference for the future design of components under high-energy and long-pulse operational conditions.

Average and local convective heat transfer coefficients of nitrogen are measured experimentally in an electrically heated circular tube for a range of Reynolds number from 1.08 × 10⁴ to 3.60 × 10⁴, and wall-to-bulk temperature ratio from 1.01 to 1.77. The exit Mach number is up to 0.17, and the heat flux is up to 46 kW·m^-2. The molybdenum test section has a 62 diameters heated section with an inside diameter of 5 mm and a 30 diameters entrance section to ensure the fully-developed flow. Uncertainty of Nusselt number is less than 1.6 % in this study. The results indicate that the average heat transfer correlations evaluated by both the bulk and the modified film Reynolds numbers agree well with the experimental data. The local heat transfer results based on bulk properties are compared with previous empirical correlations. New prediction correlations are recommended which are significantly affected by the property variation and heated length. The comparison between the proposed correlations and experimental points shows that 88 % of experimental data fall into an error of 10 %, and almost all data are within an error of 20 %.

본 연구에서는 천부의 암반 공동에 대용량 고온의 열에너지를 저장하는 경우 주변 암반에 야기되는 열-수리-역학적 연계거동을 살펴보고, 이에 지하수위와 암반 투수계수 등 수리적 조건이 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 해석대상을 투수계수가 비교적 낮은 수준($10^{-17}m^2$)인 결정질 암반으로 가정할 때 열에너지 저장으로 인한 암반 거동에 지하수가 미치는 영향은 크지 않을 것으로 예측되었다. 저장 공동이 지하수위 하부에 위치하는 경우의 온도, 주응력, 변위 분포 등은 저장공동이 불포화대에 위치하는 경우와 거의 동일하게 나타났다. 암반내 열전달 특성은 암반의 투수계수에 매우 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 암반의 투수계수를 $10^{-15}m^2$ 이하로 가정한 경우 열전달은 주로 암반에 전도에 의한 것으로 판단할 수 있었으나, 투수계수를 $10^{-12}m^2$으로 가정하는 경우 지하수 대류에 의한 상향 열유동이 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. 암반 투수계수의 크기에 따라 열수의 대류나 비등으로 인한 상변화 등 복합적인 유동 특성을 나타났으며, 온도, 압력, 포화도 분포가 상이하게 발달하였다.

본 연구에서는 온실의 온풍식 난방시스템 연통에 장착할 수 있는 폐열 회수기의 성능 개선을 목적으로 기 설계된 세 가지 열교환 장치와 기존의 장치에서 열교환 면적과 파이프의 두께 및 공기흐름 방향을 개량한 새 열교환 장치에 대해 열회수 성능을 실험적으로 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 열 교환장치인 A형, B형 및 C형의 열회수 성능은 동일 송풍전입에서 각각 42.2%, 40.6% 및 54.4% 정도였으나 , 새로 개량된 D형은 69.2%로써 가장 현저히 높게 나타났다. 그러나 열회수용 공기의 흐름방향 변화에 따른 열회수 성능 개선효과 (A형 대비 B형)는 없는 것으로 나타나 적정 송풍기 용량이라면 직선형이 공기의 흐름방향 180${\circ}C$ 굴절시키는 헤어핀형보다 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 결국 열회수 성능은 열회수 시스템의 열교환 면적과 열교환 파이프의 두께 및 풍속에 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 열교환 파이프의 내구성 등 을 고려하여 기능한 한 범위 내에서 열 교환면적을 증대시키거나 열교환 파이프의 두께를 앓게 하고 풍속을 증대시키는 것이 열회수 성능 개선효과와 직결됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 송풍기 용량이 필요이상으로 큰 경우, 소비전력이 많게 되는 등의 문제가 있기 때문에 적정용량 및 제품의 안정성을 고려하여 선택해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

This study investigated the cause of the heavy snowfall that occurred in the East Coast of Korea from 6 February to 14 February 2014. The synoptic conditions were analyzed using blocking index, equivalent potential temperature, potential vorticity, maritime temperature difference, temperature advection, and ground convergence. During the case period, a large blocking pattern developed over the Western Pacific causing the flow to be stagnant, and there was a North-South oriented High-to-Low pressure system over the Korean Peninsula because of this arrangement. The case period was divided into three parts based on the synoptic forcing that was responsible for the heavy snowfall; detailed analyses were conducted for the first and last period. In the first period, a heavy snowfall occurred over the entire Korean Peninsula due to strong updrafts from baroclinic instability and a low pressure caused by potential vorticity located at the mid-troposphere. In the lower atmosphere, a North-South oriented High-to-Low pressure system over the Eastern Korea intensified the easterly airflow and created a convergence zone near the ground which strengthened the upslope effect of the Taebaek Mountain range with a cumulative fresh snowfall amount of 41 cm in the East Coast region. In the last period, the cold air nestled in the Maritime Province of Siberia and Manchuria strengthened much more than that in the first half and extended to the East Sea. The temperature difference between the 850 hPa air and the SST was large and convective clouds developed over the sea. The highest cumulative fresh snow amount of 39.7 cm was recorded in the coastal area during this period. During the entire period, vertically oriented equivalent potential temperature showed neutral stability layer that helped the cloud formation and development in the East Coast. The 2014 heavy snowfall case over the East Coast provinces of Korea were due to: 1) stagnation of the system by blocking pattern, 2) the dynamic effect of mid-level potential vorticity of 1.6 PVU, 3) the easterly air flow from North-South oriented High-to-Low pressure system, 4) the existence of vertically oriented neutral stable layer, and 5) the expansion of strong cold air into the East Sea which created a large temperature difference between the air and the ocean.

대류가 유도하는 중규모 흐름에 미치는 비정역학 효과를 조사하기 위하여 기존의 무차원화된 정역학 모형을 바탕으로 무차원화된 비정역학 모형을 개발하였다. 모형을 검증하기 위하여 정역학 방정식 계의 해석해와 비정역학성이 아주 작은 경우의 수치 실험 결과를 비교하였고, 두 결과가 거의 같음을 확인하였다. 무차원화된 비정역학 모형을 이용하여 선형 계와 비선형 계에서 대류가 유도하는 중규모 흐름에 미치는 비정역학 효과를 조사하였다. 선형 계와 비선형 계 모두에서 비정역학성 인자가 작은 경우 열원 꼭대기 위에서 연직 방향으로, 비정역학성 인자가 상대적으로 큰 경우 주 상승 기류의 풍하측에서 수평 방향으로 상승 운동과 하강 운동이 교대하는 파동 형태의 섭동장이 나타났다. 풍하측에서 나타나는 상승 운동과 하강 운동을 분석하기 위하여 선형, 정상 상태, 비점성 흐름에 대한 Taylor-Goldstein 방정식을 구하였다. 주 상승기류의 풍하측에서 교대로 나타나는 상승 하강 기류세포는 전파파의 수평 방향 전파 성분과 에바네센트파, 즉 비정역학성 인자에 의해 결정되는 임계 파장보다 파장이 짧아 연직 방향으로 전파되지 못하고 수평 방향으로만 전파되는 중력파의 중첩으로 설명할 수 있다. 선형 계에 대한 수치 실험 결과에서 나타난 상승 하강 기류 세포의 수평 방향 길이는 선형 계에 대한 방정식에서 얻은 에바네센트 파의 임계 파장 길이의 절반과 일치하였으나, 약한 비선형 계에 대한 수치 실험 결과에서 나타난 상승 하강 기류 세포의 수평 방향 길이는 선형 계에 대한 방정식에서 얻은 에바네센트 파의 임계 파장 길이의 절반보다 다소 길었다. 주 상승 기류 지역 내에서 최대 상승 기류의 위치는 비선형성과 비정역학성 정도에 따라 다르게 나타났다.
