  • This study is intended to identify how quick disconnect coupling which connects with refrigerant piping of air-conditioner using R-22 refrigerant has effect on characteristics of flux. in the case where the air-conditioner installs utilizes quick disconnect coupling, COP has an effect on the quantity of cooling load because of changing flow rate and physical properties of refrigerant which flow into an entrance of expansion valve from coupling. Variation of flow rate can be regulated by changing expansion-contraction angle; $\alpha$ of an entrance and an exit of coupling. In this study, quick disconnect coupling is presented flow of coupling by using FLUENT as heat flow program. To have an effect on the expansion entrance valve, and by changing expansion-contraction angle; $\alpha$ of an entrance and an exit

  • Piping Systems are usually designed for thermal expansion loads based on uniform temperatures at each cross section. However, in lines with low flow rates such as surge lines and spray lines, large transverse temperature gradients have been observed, resulting in too types of additional thermal stresses : (1) local thermal gradient stresses which are independent of routing and supports and (2) gross bending stresses due to induced pipe curvature which are routing and support system dependent. This paper presents a simplified method for analyzing a PER surge line for stratified flow.

  • The turbulent heat transfer to low Prandtl number fluid flow through rod bundles is analyzed using k-$\varepsilon$ two-equation model. For the prediction of the turbulent flow field, an anisotropic eddy viscosity model is used. In the analysis of the temperature field, the effects of various parameters such as geometry, Reynolds and Prandtl numbers are considered. The calculation in made for Prandtl numbers from 0.001 to 0.1 in order to analyze the heat transfer to low Prandtl number fluid such as liquid metals. The numerical results show that for small P/D (Pitch/Diameter) geometries low Prandtl number makes severe changes of the rod surface temperature.

  • In this study, to present the data in the internal thermal condition of Double skin facade were measured internal temperature and inlet and outlet openings wind speed of double skin facade. Measurements were similar to temperatures in the upper double skin facade. Especially in summer, temperature stratification is through to be unfulfilled seamlessly despite inlet and outlet openings open. Double skin facade inlet and outlet openings of the air flow rate was slower outlet openings of the air flow rate than inlet openings of the air flow rate.

  • In general, shape optimization design of the flow system has done to obtain the effects, which are required in the engineering fields. Most of these designs are accomplished by empirical or numerical analysis. But, in empirical analysis case, it is difficult to obtain an optimal shape in the feasible design region. And, in numerical method case, it usually needs many design parameters, because of the required object-function. In this paper, we present a newly numerical analysis, the growth-strain method having only one design parameter. That optimizes a shape by distributing a design parameter such as dissipation energy to be uniformed in the flow system. Also, we apply this shape design process to the three-flow systems, and then we identify that the resulting shape approaches the known optimal shape in the numerical values. Consequently, we confirm that the proposed method is very efficient and practical in the shape optimization of the flow system.

  • The pipping system is widely used in many industries as equipment for transporting fluids over long distances. In high-pressure pipe, as the speed of the fluid increases, a loud noise is generated. Therefore, various studies have been conducted to reduce pipe noise. In this paper, a pipe noise analysis was developed to predict and quantitatively assess the flow-induced vibration and acoustic-induced vibration due to valve flow in high-temperature and high-pressure. To do this, a high-fidelity fluid analysis technique was developed for predicting internal flow in the pipe with valve. In additional, the contribution of compressible/incompressible pressure by frequency band was evaluated using the wavenumber-frequency analysis. To predict a low/middle frequency pipe noise, the vibroacoustic analysis method was developed based on Finite Element Method (FEM). And the pipe noise prediction method for the middle/high frequency was developed based on Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA).

  • Two-phase flow is frequently observed in many industries such as nuclear power plants and oil transportation. Two-phase flow regime depends on the flow rates, the fluid properties and the structure of flow channels. Since the identification of the flow regime is of great importance in the system design and the safety analysis, a number of theoretical and experimental investigations have been performed. This paper presents a basic research on the characteristics of each flow regime and transition boundary in the two-phase flows. The flow regime of the upward air-water flow in the vertical tube, 30 mm in the inner diameter, is distinguished by using the high-speed camera and the Wire-mesh sensor(WMS). The identified experimental data are compared with the flow regime maps proposed by Taitel et al, Mishima and Ishii. Even though there is slight difference in the transition boundary, the experimental data show general agreement with these flow regime maps.

  • The computational flow numerical analysis was introduced to predict thc turbulent characteristics in the mixing flow structure of $45^{\circ}$ impinging round jet. This analysis has been carried out through the commercial fluent software. Realizable(RLZ) k-${\varepsilon}$ was used as a turbulent model. It can be known that mean velocities analysed through RLZ k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulent model comparatively predict well the experiments and show well the elliptic shape of mixing flow structure in the Y-Z plane, but analysed turbulent kinetic energies show somewhat differently from the experiments in certain regions.
