Based on the T-method, a new scheme for predicting air flow rate distribution in a bathroom exhaust system is developed. Introduction of individual duct route enables us to disintegrate a complicated multi-fan ductwork into a set of simultaneous single-fan subsystems. The scheme is validated via the analysis of a well-posed test problem, showing physical consistency. In order to demonstrate the utility and capability of our method, the bathroom ventilation system in a 20-story residential building is selected as an example. Under the typical design condition, the air flow rate of each exhaust fan at the balancing point is successfully predicted, and such information can lead to an engineering estimation for the overall system performance. While some deficiencies in ventilation are found at bathrooms at lower floors with 6mmAq-rated exhaust fans, they disappear over the whole building by using fans of enhanced static pressures, 7 and 8mmAq. Finally the present scheme seems to be useful for practical design of multi-branched, multi-fan ventilation systems.

Engine emission regulations are becoming more stringent nowadays. In cold transient regime, about 80% THC is exhausted to the atmosphere in the first 200s (US FTP cycles). Accordingly, reducing emission levels in the cold period immediately after the engine start before the catalysts reach their working temperature will be an especially critical factor in meeting more stringent regulations in the future. In this study, the total hydrocarbon quantities are measured using a Fast FID with gasoline fuel for a 4-cylinde. Sl engine, including Secondary Air Injection (SAI) system. Commercial SAI device's direction is reverse to the exhaust flow. In this study, a swirl flow type SAI system which is positioned between the exhaust manifold and exhaust port, was developed. We compared the swirl type secondary air injection with a commercial secondary air injection of .everse flow. The swirl type SAI showed better results in reducing HC by 26% than the commercial flow type SAI of reverse flow which was caused by the better mixing between the exhaust gas and the secondary air.

Exhaust system is composed of several parts. Among, them , design of muffler system strongly influences on engine efficiency and noise reduction. So , through comprehension of flow characteristics inside muffler is necessary . In this study , three-dimensional steady and unsteady compressible flow analysis was performed to understand the flow characteristics, pressure loss and amplitude variation of pulsating pressure. The computational grid generation was carried out using commercial preprocessor ICEM CFD/CAE. And the three-dimensional fluid motion inside the muffler was analyzed by STAR-CD, the computational fluid dynamics code. RNG k-$\varepsilon$ tubulence model was applied to consider the complexity of the geometry and fluid motion. The steady and unsteady flow field inside muffler such as velocity distribution, pulsating pressure and pressure loss was examined. In case of unsteady state analysis, velocity of inlet region was converted from measured pulsating pressure. Experimental measurement of pressure and temperature was carried out to provide the boundary and initial condition for computational study under three engine operating conditions. As a result of this study, we could identify the flow characteristics inside the muffler and obtain the pressure loss, amplitude variation of pulsating exhaust gas.

Exhaust system of steam turbines consists of an annular diffuser and a collector and connects the last stage turbine and the condenser. The system is used to transfer the turbine leaving kinetic energy to potential energy while guiding the flow from turbine exit plane to the downstream condenser. In the steam turbine exhaust system, distorted pressure profile is arisen by the nonaxisymmetric collector structure at the diffuser outlet, and this distorted pressure is propagated to the last stage LP turbine exit plane through the diffuser, then the last stage LP turbine experiences asymmetric back pressure. It is known that the pressure recovery performance of diffuser is strongly influenced by diffuser inflow condition. In this study, the effect of exhaust system due to the changing of inlet flow condition is observed by using CFD, and the interaction of last stage LP turbine and exhaust system is investigated by using actuator disk model as modeling of turbine blade row of exhaust hood inlet.

In this study, the analytic investigation of the unsteady flow in the intake and exhaust pipes has been carried out using the method of characteristics in one direction to predict volumetric efficiency. Based on the calculated volumetric efficiency, three zone predictive analysis using Wiebe function was applied to predict the engine performance and the results were compared with experiment. Mixture in the cylinder is subdivided into three zones during combustion process in this analysis; adiabatic core zone, thermal boundary layer zone and unburned zone. In each zone, pressure, temperature and gas composition have been calculated. In conclusion, it is possible to take account of the intake and exhaust pipe tuning effect in predicting the engine performance, by the analytic solution of the unsteady flow in the pipes, and comparison of prediction with experimental results shows a good agreement on the pressure variation in the intake and exhaust pipes which has a direct influence on the volumetric efficiency and performance of the engine.

Heat regenerator occupied by regenerative materials improves thermal efficiency of regenerative combustion system through the recovery of sensible heat of exhaust gases. By using one-dimensional two-phase fluid dynamics model, the unsteady thermal flow of regenerator with spherical particles, were numerically analyzed to evaluate the heat transfer and pressure losses and to suggest the parameter for designing heat regenerator. It is confirmed that the computational results, such as air preheat temperature, exhausted gases outlet temperature, and pressure losses, agreed well with the experimental data conducted from Chugairo. The thermal flow in heat regenerator varies with porosity, configuration of regenerator and diameter of regenerative particle. Assuming a given exhaust gases temperature at the regenerator outlet, the regenerator length need to be linearly increased with inlet Reynolds number of exhaust gases. It is considered that inlet Reynolds number of exhaust gases should be introduced as a regenerator design parameter.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the flow through the intake and exhaust system of a spark ignition engine. The flow was assumed to be one-dimensional, compressible and unsteady, and carburetor, muffler, valve and junction are modelled as boundary conditions according to their flow characteristics. In the experiment, four cylinder gasoline engine is used and the pressures in the intake and exhaust pipes and in the cylinder are measured and compared with the results of numerical analysis. In consequence of the comparison, four periods of pressure wave in a cycle are observed in both case of experiment and prediction. In case of exhaust pipe, the results obtained from the experiment are in accord with that from calculation. The results of the intake system show some differences with each other due to the complication in shape, but the periods of both case concur well.

This study presents a real-time method that uses Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (LAS) to measure exhaust gas temperatures in turbulent flow fields. It was possible to measure temperature by passing a laser beam through the exhaust gas in a grid pattern, and obtain a temperature distribution image through time series analysis at 0.1 second intervals. Temperature image resolution has been improved with CT reconstruction algorithms. Estimating maximum temperature values and locations enabled 2D temperature analysis, surpassing single-point methods like thermocouples. The accuracy of LAS measurements was evaluated by comparison with thermocouple measurements. This approach will contribute to automotive technology and environmental protection by providing reliable temperature data for interpreting turbulent temperature distributions.

Exhaust gases emitted from internal combustion engines contain nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx), which are major air pollutants causing acid rain, respiratory diseases, and photochemical smog. As a countermeasure, scrubber systems are being studied extensively. In this study, the pressure drop characteristics were analyzed by changing the exhaust gas inflow velocity using a scrubber for a 700 kW engine as a model. In addition, the fluid flow inside the scrubber and the behavioral characteristics of the droplets were studied using CFD, and the design compatibility of the cleaning device was verified. Flow analysis was performed using inertial and viscous resistances by applying porous media to the complex shape of the scrubber. The speed of the exhaust passing through the outlet nozzle from the inlet was determined through the droplet behavior analysis by spraying, and the flow characteristics for the pressure drop were studied. In addition, it was confirmed through computational analysis whether there was a stagnation section in the exhaust gas flow in the scrubber or the sprayed droplets were in good contact with the exhaust gas.
