The present paper proposes a new correlation for the flow boiling heat transfer coefficients in the low flow rate condition (Re(sub)LF$\leq$200) within horizontal rectangular channels with small gaps (heights). The gap between the upper and the lower plates of each channel ranges from 0.4 to 2mm while the channel width being fixed to 20mm. Refrigerant 113 was used as the test fluid. The mass flux ranges from 50 to 200kg/㎡s and the channel walls were uniformly heated with the heat flux range of 3-15kW/㎡. The quality range covers from 0.19 to 0.76 and the flow pattern is considered to be annular. The measured heat transfer coefficients increase with the mass flux and the local quality; however the effect of the heat flux appears to be minor. At the low mass flux condition, which is more likely with the smaller gap size, the heat transfer is primarily controlled by the liquid film thickness. The proposed F factor for the heat transfer coefficient in the range of Re(sub)LF$\leq$200 well represents the experimental data within the deviation of $\pm$20%. The Kandlikars flow boiling correlation covers the higher flow-rate range(Re(sub)LF>200) within the deviation of $\pm$20%.

This study have goal with reverse engineering for petrochemistry of high pressure ball valve for localization. Ball valve for development accomplished with flow analysis based on provision of ANSI B16.34, ANSI B16.10, ANSI B16.25 In order to localize the petrochemistry high pressure control valve. Numerical simulation using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) in order to predict a mass flow rate and a flow coefficient form flow dynamic point of view. The working fluid assumed the water($H_2O$). The valve inlet and outlet setup a pressure boundary condition. The outlet pressure was fixed by atmospheric pressure and calculated inlet velocity 5m/s. CFD solver used STAR-CCM+ which is commercial code. The result shows change of mass flow rate according to opening and closing angle of valve. Flow decrease observed open valve that equal percentage flow paten which is general inclination of ball valve. The structural analysis used ANSYS which is a commercial code. Stress analysis result of internal pressure in valve showed lower than yield strength. This is expect to need more detail design and verification for stem and seat structure.

The combustion and flow-rate control characteristics of fuel-rich gas generator which could be adopted to Ducted Rocket propulsion system are investigated. The gas generator is designed considering the design requirements of propulsion system and solid fuel for fuel-rich combustion is developed then adopted to ground test. The results of combustion test show the necessity of the special analysis tool for estimating the gas generator performance where multi-phase flow of fuel-rich gas exists. During the flow-rate control test, characteristics of gas generator pressure with the angle of valve are analyzed and, method to estimate the pressure of gas generator is suggested using the relation between the valve exit area and discharge coefficient.

The flow rate control of a cavitating venturi has been investigated with downstream pressure variation. A set of cavitating venturies for a liquid rocket engine thrust chamber firing test facility have been designed and manufactured. The flow characteristics of the cavitating venturies have been analyzed by experimental and computational methods. Results showed that constant mass flow rate condition was established by the cavitation inside the venturi. However, upstream pressure less than the actual design pressure of the cavitating venturi could not supply a constant flow rate.

This paper presents the flow characteristics of a ball valve used for a gas pipeline. Understanding of the internal flow of a ball valve is an important to analyze the physical phenomena of the valve. Present experimental study was performed by IEC 60534-2-3, the international standard for an industrial control valve testing procedure. Pressure measured at upstream and downstream of the valve, flow-rate and gas temperature passing the inside of the gas pipeline were measured with respect to valve opening rates. Throughout the experimental measurement of the ball valve, empirical equation of the pressure drop between the ball valve according to the mass flow rates is successively obtained using a polynomial curve fitting method. In addition, flow coefficient for determining the valve capacity is also analyzed with respect to valve opening rates using the curve fitting method.

Solid propellant gas generators (SPGG) play a role as a turbopump starter in liquid propellant propulsion systems by supplying pressurized gas to power turbines for engine start. For such a purpose, the propellants should burn with a relative low flame temperature and the combustion gas should not contain corrosive constituents such as chlorine compounds. In accordance with these requirements, stabilized AN-based propellants have been usually used as the most appropriate oxidizer for propellant compositions. However, the burning area of the propellant intends to increase to satisfy the required mass flux because of its low burning rate. Consequently the burning area incensement brings on the SPGG size augmentation. A flow restriction such as filters is applied to decrease the SPGG size by rising up the combustion pressure resulting in increasing the burning rate. The feasibility of the size reduction of SPGG by the employment of filters have been studied. The preliminary results of this study show that the considerable reduction of SPGG size would be achievable just by installing a filter with relatively high pressure loss coefficient.

The appearance of the negative differential pressure(NDP), in which the shot base pressure is higher than the breech pressure, indicates that a potential damage on the gun system is increased. In order to safeguard the gun system, the igniter must be designed to minimize the NDP during the firing process. From this reason, the effect of igniter's burning rate on the NDP of the interior ballistics has been investigated through the numerical simulations. The NDP has been increased with increment of the coefficient in the burning rate of the igniter. A sudden change of the chamber pressure has been shown in case of using a singular coefficient.

Saturated nucleate pool boiling experiments for binary mixtures, which are consisted of refrigerant R11 and R113, were performed with constant wall temperature condition. Results for binary mixtures were also compared with pure fluids. A microscale heater array and Wheatstone bridge circuits were used to maintain the constant temperature of the heating surface and to obtain heat flow rate measurements with high temporal and spatial resolutions. Bubble growth images were captured using a high speed CCD camera synchronized with the heat flow rate measurements. The departure time for binary mixtures was longer than that for pure fluids, and binary mixtures had a higher onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) temperature than pure fluids. In the asymptotic growth region, the bubble growth rate was proportional to a value between $t^{\frac{1}{6}}$ and $t^{\frac{1}{4}}$. The bubble growth behavior was analyzed to permit comparisons with binary mixtures and pure fluids at the same scale using dimensionless parameters. There was no discernable difference in the bubble growth behavior between binary mixtures and pure fluids for a given ONB temperature. And the departure radius and time were well predicted within a ${\pm}30{\%}$ error. The minimum heat transfer coefficient of binary mixtures occurred near the maximum ${\mid}y-x{\mid}$ value, and the average required heat flux during bubble growth did not depend on the mass fraction of R11 as more volatile component in binary mixtures. Finally, the results showed that for binary mixtures, a higher ONB temperature had the greatest effect on reducing the heat transfer coefficient.

Using the methods of stopped-flow and epifluorescence microscopy with entrapped fluorophore, membrane permeability of $NH_3$ and weak acids in liposomes, renal brush border (BBMV) and basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV), and primary culture cells from renal proximal tubule was measured. Permeability coefficient (cm/sec) of $NH_3$ was $(2.9{\times}10^{-2}$ in phosphatidylcholine liposome $25^{\circ}C)$, $5.9{\times}10^{-2}$ in renal proximal tubule cell $(37^{\circ}C)$, $4.0{\times}10^{-2}\;and\;2.4{\times}10^{-2}$ in BBMV and BLMV $(25^{\circ}C)$, respectively. Formic acid has the highest permeability coefficient among the weak acids tested, which was $4.9{\times}10^{-3}$ in liposome, $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ in renal proximal tubule cell, $9.1{\times}10^{-3}$ in BBMV and $3.8{\times}10^{-3}$ in BLMV. There was a linear relationship between external concentration of nonionized formic acid and initial rate of flux of formic acid in liposome, and the slope coincided with the value of permeability coefficient of formic acid measured in pH 7.0. These results show that techniques of stopped-flow and epifluorescence microscopy with entrapped fluorophore provide the precise method of measurement of very rapid transport of nonelectrolytes through membranes with the advantages of instantaneous mixing effect, good resolution time and easy manipulation.

This paper presents on the evaluation of numerical analysis model of a ball valve used for a gas pipeline. The ball valve has important role to control the gas flow of the pipeline as well as safety operation to prevent gas explosion at the emergency. For the validation of numerical simulation, the computational domains are introduced three different types: a hexahedron chamber connected to a pipeline outlet without considering the geometry of pressure tubes, a pipeline only considered the geometry of pressure tubes, and a pipeline connected both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes. The commercial code, SC/Tetra, is introduced to solve the three-dimensional steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis in the present study. The valve flow coefficient and valve loss coefficient with respect to the valve opening rate of 30%, 50%, and 70% are compared with experimental results. Throughout the numerical analysis for the three analysis domains, pressure computed along the pipeline is affected by computational domains. It is noted pressure obtained by the computational model considering both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes has a relatively good agreement to the experimental data.
