  • Filter-based sampling techniques are the conventional way to collect particulate matter, but particles collected and entangled in the filter fibers are difficult to be removed and thus not suited for the following cell- and animal-based exposure experiments. Collecting aerosol particles in powder form using a cyclone instead of a filter would be a possible way to solve this problem. We developed a hybrid virtual-impactor/cyclone high-volume fine and coarse particle sampler and assessed its performance. The developed system achieved 50% collection efficiency with components having the following aerodynamic cut-off diameters: virtual impactor, $2.4{\mu}m$; fine-particle cyclone, $0.18-0.30{\mu}m$; and coarse-particle cyclone, $0.7{\mu}m$. The virtual impactor used in our set-up had good $PM_{2.5}$ separation performance, comparable to that reported for a conventional real impactor. The newly developed sampler can collect fine and coarse particles simultaneously, in combination with exposure testing with collected fine- and coarse-particulate matter samples, should help researchers to elucidate the mechanism by which airborne particles result in adverse health effect in detail.

  • 본 연구에서는 하나의 장치 내에서 "싸이클론-관성충돌-여과포 집진"이 동시에 이루어지는 멀티 집진기의 집진 효율을 극대화시키기 위한 설계 조건을 검토하였다. 먼저 싸이클론의 입구 형상에 대한 수치 해석 결과, 접선 유입식 입구에 가이드 베인을 추가로 설계한 경우 선회류의 회전수가 많고 강하게 형성되어 사이클론부에서 조대입자의 유선 이탈을 촉진시키는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 예측되었다. 그러나 사이클론의 하단부가 벤츄리 모양이기 때문에 약 4~5 m/s의 강한 하향 흐름이 호퍼 하단까지 지속되어 분진의 재비산 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에, 사이클론부 하단의 벤츄리를 제거하며 분진 재비산 문제는 해소 가능할 것으로 나타났다. 충돌 차단형 배플의 간격을 조정하여 통과유속을 빠르게 한 결과, 충돌 효과는 더욱 증가할 것으로 예측되었으나 탈리 분진이 간섭을 받을 수 있는 문제점이 예상되어 배플은 기본 설계안대로 유지하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 나타났다.

  • 원자력연구소 핫셀의 구조와 오염특성이 조사되었다. SEM 측정결과 핫셀 내부에 부착된 고방사능 분진의 크기는 $0.2{\sim}10{\mu}m$이었다. 사이클론의 최적 Vortex finder의 길이는 49 mm이고, 모의입자 유입속도는 15m/sec가 적합했다. 이때 $3{\mu}m$의 포집효율은 약 85%였다. 모의 입자 유입속도가 15m/sec보다 빠를 때, 포집효율의 증가율은 크지 않았다. 유입가스의 온도가 증가할 때, 포집효율은 약간 감소했다. Vortex finder의 길이가 증가할수록 사이클론내의 압력강하는 커졌다. Cut size diameter는 Reynolds number의 증가와 함께 감소했다. 측정된 Reynolds number에 근거하면, 사이클론 내부는 난류이고 이 난류는 사이클론 내의 압력강하에 원인이 된다고 사료된다. $Stk^{1/2}_{50}$는 Re 값의 증가와 함께 감소하고, Re의 값이 커질 때에서 일정한 값에 수렴했다. 즉, 6000-8000의 Re에서 $Stk^{1/2}_{50}$는 약 0.045를 나타냈다.

  • A micro cyclone combustor was developed to be used as a heat source of thermoelectric power generator (TPG). The cyclone combustor was designed so that fuel and air were supplied to the combustion chamber separately. The mixing and flow characteristics in the combustor were investigated numerically. The global equivalence ratio (${\Phi}$), defined using the fuel and air flow rates, was introduced to examine the flow features of the combustor. The mixing of fuel and air inside the combustor could be well understood using the fuel concentration distribution. It was found that the weak recirculating zone was formed upper the fuel-supplying tube in case of ${\Phi}$ < 1.0. In addition, it was found that small regions that have a negative axial velocity exist near the fuel injection ports. It is assumed that these negative axial velocity regions can stabilize a flame inside the micro cyclone combustor.

  • A significant number of tropical cyclones move into the midlatitudes and go through transformation procedure into extratropical cyclones. This process is generally referred to as extratropical transition of the tropical cyclone. In this study, MIDULLE(0407) case is selected. A thorough analysis is made using the GDAPS analysis data and MTM (Moving-nest Typhoon Model) model output. It is found that during the extratropical transition an important dynamics in the environmetal flow field occurs in which colder, drier (warm, moist) air penetrates in the western (eastern) quadrant of MINDULLE's outer circulation, which in turn initiates an asymmetry in the distribution of wind and temperature of the tropical cyclone. Simulated MTM result also reveals similar properties as in GDAPS analysis data. MTM result shows the gradual transition to the asymmetric distribution of wind and thickness as the extratropical transition proceeds. It is also found that the warm core disappears during the extratropical transition stage. Also, vortex tube is shown tilting towards the west during the transition. And the precipitation expands poleward of the center and the maximum precipitation appears to the left of MINDULLE which is consistent to the observations.

  • Numerical investigations on air staging and fuel staging were carried out with a newly designed coaxial cyclone combustor, which uses the method of two stage coal combustion composed of pre-combustor and main combustor. The pre-combustor with a high air/fuel ratio is designed to supply gas at high temperature to the main combustor. To avoid local high temperature region in this process, secondary air is injected in the downstream. Together with the burned gas supplied from the pre-combustor and the preheated air directly injected into main combustor, coals supplied through the main burner react rapidly at a low air/fuel ratio. Strong swirling motion of cyclone combustor keeps the wall temperature high, which makes slagging combustion possible. Alaska, US coal is used for calculations. Predictions were made for various coal flow rates in the main combustor for fuel staging and for the various flow rate of secondary air in the pre-combustor for air staging. In-scattering angles are also chosen as a variable to increase residence times of coal particles. Temperature fields and particle trajectories for various conditions are described. Predicted temperature variations at the wall of the combustor are compared with corresponding experimental data and show a similar trend. The in-scattering angle of 20° is recommended to increase the combustion efficiency in the main chamber.
