A 3-way valve has been applied to a distributor in a hot-water heating system and the performance of the system was evaluated in view of the variations of pressure drop and flow rate. The 3-way valve has been designed to bypass overplus hot-water when a control valve is closed. Note that the flow goes through heating pipeline in normal operation. In the present study, the measured pressure drops in each part of the flow paths show that the contribution to the total pressure drop is in the order of the supply header with control valves, piping system of each room and return header of the distributor, even though the amount of it is different according to the flow paths. As a result of performance test by sequential closing of the control valves, the variations of pressure drop and flow rate in the distributor with 3-way valves is much lower than those with previous 2-way valves, which prevent noises induced by pressure fluctuations.

A variable-flow-rate balancing valve has been developed and optimized to apply to a distributor in a hot-water heating system. Fluid dynamic performance of the system was evaluated by comparing the results with the previous pressure difference control valve (PDCV) system. In view of the variations of pressure drop and flow rate according to the sequential closing of the control valves, the present system which is named "smart system distributor", is very stable without a certain flow rate concentration. The level of pressure drop variation is also low as compared with the previous system with a PDCV. In view of the occurrence of cavitation, the present system is quite superior to the previous system because the instantaneous pressures at all sections are much higher than the vapor pressure. On the other hand, the previous system has a possibility of cavitation when one or more control valves are closed.

With continuously increasing flat panel display size, uniformity of thin film deposition has been drawing more attentions and associated fabrication methodologies are being actively investigated. Since the convective flow field of mixture gas plays a significant role for deposition characteristics of thin film in an APCVD system, it is greatly important to maintain uniform distribution and consistent concentration of mixture gas species. In this paper, computational study has been performed for the improvement of flow uniformity of mixture gas in an APCVD reactor during thin film deposition process. A diffuser slit has bee designed to spread the locally concentrated gas flow exiting from the flow distributor. A uniform flow distributor has been developed which has less dependency on operating conditions for global flow uniformity

A simulation program was developed to evaluate the heat transfer performance of a multi-pass fin-tube evaporator, considering the pressure drop in the distributor and capillary tubes. The effect of capillary tube length for each pass was analyzed with various inlet air flow types and distributions. The appropriate capillary tube length distribution and correlation were determined for various inlet air flow types and distributions. The correlated results agreed well with the simulation, with an average error of less than 7%. By applying an optimal capillary tube length distribution, the heat transfer rate was increased by 4~5% compared to cases with uniform tubelength distributions, for each of the inlet air flow types and distributions considered in this study.

It is important to uniformly supply the fuel gas into the reaction activity area in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Recent studies have shown that the cell performance can be significantly improved by employing metal foam gas distributor as compared with the conventional bipolar plate types. The metal foam gas distributor has been reported to be more efficient to fuel transport. In this study, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been performed to examine the effects of metal foam flow field design on the fuel supply to the reaction site. Darcy's law is used for the flow in the porous media. By solving additional advection equation for fluid particle trajectory, the gas transport has been visualized and examined for various geometrical configuration of metal foam gas distributor.

To investigate the influence of the design and operating parameters of the headbox on hydrodynamics, a pilot headbox system and pressure monitoring apparatus were constructed. The pilot headbox system consisted of a circulating water reservoir, centrifugal pump, distributor, turbulence generator and slice. The distributor was designed to function as a pressure attenuator. Flow rate to the headbox and MD and CD velocity profiles in the slice zone were monitored using an ultrasonic flowmeter and Pitot tubes, respectively. As the distance from the step diffusor increased, evener CD velocity profile was observed. Wall effect increased with the increase of the velocity. Flow stability in the headbox was evaluated by injecting a dye at the outlet of the distributor. Application of theoretical analysis based on CFD in designing headboxes is briefly discussed.

Heat flow characteristics during hot water extraction process was studied experimentally. Data were taken at various outlet port type for the fixed inlet port type, inlet-outlet temperature differences and mass flow rates. In this study, the temperature distribution in a storage tank and an outlet temperature were measured to predict a flow pattern in the storage tank, and a hot water extraction efficiency was analysed with respect to the variables dominating a extraction process. Experimental results show that the extraction efficiency is high in a low flow rate in case of using modified distributor I(MDI) as a outlet port type.

Heat flow characteristics during hot water extraction process was studied experimentally. Data were taken at various outlet port type for the fixed inlet port type, inlet-outlet temperature differences and mass flow rates. In this study, the temperature distribution in a storage tank and an outlet temperature were measured to predict a degree of stratification in the storage tank, and a useful rate of hot water was analysed with respect to the variables dominating a extraction process. Experimental results show that the degree of stratification and useful rate of hot water are all high in a low flow rate in case of using modified distributor I (MDI) as the outlet port type.

노심보충탱크 상부에 설치되는 유동분사기 형상에 따른 냉각수 주입특성 및 탱크 내에서의 열수력 현상 변화를 파악하기 위한 안전주입배관 2인치 파단 소형냉각재상실사고(SBLOCA) 모의시험이 잔열 및 피동잔열제거계통(PRHRS) 모의 없이 수행되었다. 두 가지 형상의 유동분사기를 설치하고 수행한 각각의 시험은 거의 유사한 초기 및 경계조건에서 수행되었으며, 이로 인해 반복시험에 대한 재현성이 충족되었다고 판단된다. 시험결과는 유동분사기의 종류(본 시험에서는 구멍의 개수에 해당)에 관계없이 유사한 열수력학적 거동을 보였으며, 초기 주입유량 관점에서는 구멍의 개수가 2배인 B형이 A형에 비해 좀 더 우수한 주입 성능을 보였다. 노심보충탱크 격리 밸브가 개방된 후 압력평형배관을 통해 유입되는 고온의 원자로냉각재는 상부 헤더에서 상대적으로 저온인 $50^{\circ}C$ 물과 혼합되면서 증기 응축과 같은 상변화에 의한 압력 변동을 동반하는 다차원 열유동 현상을 일으키게 된다. 이로 인해 초반부 노심보충탱크 주입 유량은 상온운전 조건에서 보다는 작게 되고, 일정시간 경과 후에는 유사한 주입유량 특성을 보였다.
