This paper presents the performance characteristic of a Francis hydro turbine with an inline casing. This turbine is designed for city water supply system. Due to large changes in ground elevation with high points and low points, some systems may experience larger-than-normal required pressures in areas with low ground elevations. One way to dissipate these excess pressures is by the use of an inline-turbine instead of an inline-pressure reducing valve. For best applicability and minimal space consumption, the turbine is designed with an inline casing instead of the common spiral casing. As a characteristic of inline casing, the flow accesses to the runner in the radial direction, showing a low efficiency. The installation of vanes improves the internal flow and gives the positive encouragement to the output power. For the power transmission to the outside of the turbine casing from the runner axis, a belt passage is designed in the inline casing, as its influence, the region after the belt passage shows a relatively low output power. The clearance gap in the runner side space is considered, in which a small volume of flow is contracted into the clearance gap, forming the leakage flow. The leakage flow leads to a decrease in the efficiency.

The present study has been studied on a thermal and flow characteristic of the microchannel waterblock with flow distributions in each channels. Results of a numerical analysis using the CFX-11 are compared with results of an experiment. Numerical analysis and experiment are conducted under an input power of 150 W, inlet temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and mass flow rates of $0.7{\sim}2.0$ kg/min. Base temperature and pressure drop are investigated with standard deviations of mass flow rates in each channels of samples. The flow distribution and j/f factor of the sample 4 is increased by about 65.7% and 42.6%, compared to that of the reference model sample 3.

The tube model theory of entangled polymer presumes that the polymer chain holds its equilibrium contour length under certain conditions of flow; at times longer than a certain characteristic time, ${\tau}_k$, in the stress relaxation process following any flow history; in steady flow of rates smaller than ${{\tau}_k}^{-1}$; etc. Rheological phenomena associated with this presumption are discussed.

흙-수분 특성곡선은 토질역학에서 불포화토의 근간이 되는 중요한 물성함수로 불포화토 연구에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 이러한 흙-수분 특성곡선을 보다 정확하고 빠르게 또 편리하게 측정할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 방법이 불포화토 연구에 있어서 우선적으로 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 피스톤 펌프 기법을 이용한 흙-수분 특성곡선 측정방법을 보완, 발전시켰다. 이 방법은 기존의 흙-수분 특성곡선 측정방법들보다 측정하기에 편리하고 빠르며 더욱 정확한 측정이 가능하다. 또한 전체실험 과정을 통하여 완전한 통제가 가능하며 컴퓨터를 이용한 자동화 및 정밀측정이 가능하기 때문에 흙-수분 특성곡선의 상세한 부분까지 연구할 수 있다. 한 점 한 점이 아닌 연속적인 건조곡선이나 습윤곡선의 측정이 가능하고 건조곡선에서의 공기침입값 위치라든지 습윤곡선에서의 공기폐색위치등도 측정 가능하다. 또한 불포화토의 특성중의 하나인 흙-수분 특성곡선의 이방성 측정도 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 실험방법상의 기법을 개발했을 뿐만 아니라 실험결과에 대한 구체적인 해석도 이루어졌다. 실례로 석션조절기법(suction drop measurement)이라는 방법을 개발했으며 이 방법을 이용하면 흙-수분 특성곡선을 보다 편리하고 또 짧은 시간 내 정확하게 측정할 수 있다.

This paper studies the aerodynamic stability of a tensioned, geometrically nonlinear orthotropic membrane structure with hyperbolic paraboloid in sag direction. Considering flow separation, the wind field around membrane structure is simulated as the superposition of a uniform flow and a continuous vortex layer. By the potential flow theory in fluid mechanics and the thin airfoil theory in aerodynamics, aerodynamic pressure acting on membrane surface can be determined. And based on the large amplitude theory of membrane and D'Alembert's principle, interaction governing equations of wind-structure are established. Then, under the circumstance of single-mode response, the Bubnov-Galerkin approximate method is applied to transform the complicated interaction governing equations into a system of second-order nonlinear differential equation with constant coefficients. Through judging the frequency characteristic of the system characteristic equation, the critical velocity of divergence instability is determined. Different parameter analysis shows that the orthotropy, geometrical nonlinearity and scantling of structure is significant for preventing destructive aerodynamic instability in membrane structures. Compared to the model without considering flow separation, it's basically consistent about the divergence instability regularities in the flow separation model.

The turbulent flow characteristics around a small-size axial fan(SSAF) for a refrigerator are strongly dependent upon the operating points. Four operating points such as $\phi$ =0.1, 0.18, 0.25 and 0.32 were adopted in this study to investigate three-dimensional turbulent flow characteristics around the SSAF by using a fiber-optic type Laser Doppler Anemometer(LDA) system. Downstream mean velocity profiles of the SSAF along the radial distance show that axial and tangential velocity components exist predominantly, except $\phi$ = 0.1, and have a maximum value at $r/R{\fallingdotseq}0.8$, but radial velocity component having a relatively small value only turns flow direction to the outside or the central part of the SSAF. The turbulent intensity shows that the radial component exists most greatly after $r/R{\fallingdotseq}0.5$. Downstream turbulent kinetic energy at $\phi$ = 0.25 and 0.32 together has the largest peak value at $r/R{\fallingdotseq}0.9$.

본 연구에서는 다양한 물탱크의 형상에 따른 입출구의 유동 조건들에 따른 물탱크 내부에서 발생하는 유동특성을 전산 유체 역학 프로그램인 ANSYS CFX를 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 다양한 물탱크의 형상에 따른 입, 출구의 유동 조건들에 변화를 주어 어떤 모델이 가장 효율적인지를 알아보았다. 모델 A, B, C에 같은 재질을 적용하였다. 유동해석 결과로서는 모델 B가 가장 좋은 유동의 속도를 보이고, 모델 C는 유동에 가해지는 압력이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이로써 물탱크가 제품의 형상에 따라 같은 재질을 가지더라도 그 유동 속도와 압력은 달라졌다. 따라서 본 유동해석 결과를 통하여 제품의 형상에 따라 유동의 흐름에 좋은 탱크를 개발 할 수 있다고 사료된다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 유체 탱크의 형상에 따른 유동의 해석 데이터를 실생활에 융합하여 그 미적 감각을 나타낼 수 있다.

The output of the Stirling engine is influenced by the regenerator effectiveness. The regenerator effectiveness is influenced by heat transfer and flow friction loss of the regenerator matrix. In this paper, in order to provide basic data for the design of regenerator matrix, characteristics of flow friction loss were investigated by a packed method of matrix in the oscillating flow as the same condition of operation in a Stirling engine. As matrices, two different wire screens were used. The results are summarized as follows; 1. With the wire screen of No. 50 as regenerator matrices, pressure drop of working fluid of the oscillating flow is shown as 3 times higher than that of one directional flow, not too much influenced by the number of packed meshes. 2. With the wire screen of No. 100 as regenerator matrices, pressure drop of working fluid of the oscillating flow is shown as 2.5 times on the average higher than that of one directional flow, not too much influenced by the number of packed meshes. 3. Under one directional flow which used regenerator matrices with both 200, 240, and 280 wire screens of No. 50 and 320, 370, and 420 wire screens of No. 100, the relationship between the friction factor and Reynold No. is shown as the following formula. $$f=\frac{0.00326639}{Re\iota}-1.29106{\times}10^{-4}$$ 4. Under oscillating flow which used regenerator matrices with both 200, 240, and 280 wire screens of No. 50 and 320, 370, and 420 wire screens of No. 100, the relationship between the friction factor and Reynold No. is shown as the following formula. $$f_r=\frac{0.000918567}{Re\iota}+1.86101{\times}10^{-5}$$ 5. The pressure drop is shown as high in proportion as the number of meshes has been higher, and the number of packed wire screens as matrices increases.

The performance of cooling tower is dependent on the thermal performance of the packings. It's assessed by heat transfer rate and fan power. In this study, new packing was developed for application in compact type cross-flow cooling tower. The packing characteristic curve and the pressure drop curve were obtained by measuring packing characteristic values and pressure drops of small sized filler in comparison to existing mid-large sized filler. The heat transfer characteristics on small sized filler are about 66% higher than existing mid-large sized filler. The pressure drop characteristics on small sized filler are about two times of the pressure drop characteristics on existing mid-large sized filler.
