본 연구에서는 폐열회수 발전시스템에 적용가능한 100kW급 구심터빈을 대상으로 베인노즐의 출구각도 변화에 따른 구심터빈의 성능과 내부유동의 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 상용코드를 이용한 3차원 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 베인노즐 출구각이 커짐에 따라 블레이드 근처 재순환영역은 점차 작아 졌으며, 또한 단면축소효과로 인해 베인노즐 출구끝단 마하수는 1까지 관찰되었다. 본 연구를 통해 분석된 해석결과는 목표출력용 구심터빈의 최적 설계파라미터 구성을 위한 설계자료로 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

푸쉬-풀 환기시스템은 도금조와 같이 흡인해야 할 거리가 상대적으로 긴 경우에 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 창문이나 출입문을 통한 방해기류가 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템의 오염물질 제어효율을 심각하게 훼손시키고 있다고 추측하고 있으나 이에 대한 세부적인 연구가 부족한 상태에 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(Computational fluid dynamics)을 이용하여 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템에서의 방해기류의 방향과 세기가 흡인효율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 평가해 보았다. 선형흡인효율(Linear capture efficiency) 방법을 이용하여 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템에서 가상의 개방조에서 발생한 오염물질이 푸쉬-풀 시스템에 의하여 포집되지 못하고 누출되는 구역이 어딘지를 찾아낼 수 있었다. 전산유체역학 컴퓨터시뮬레이션은 AIRPAK2.1 (FLUENT CODE) 소프트웨어를 사용하였다. 푸쉬-풀 후드시스템에 방해기류가 강하게 작용하면 상대적으로 강한 와류가 발생하는데, 일반적인 난류모델인 ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$모델은 와류현상을 충분히 보여주지 못한 반면에 RNG 모델을 사용했을 때 실험결과를 적절히 모사해낼 수 있었다. RNG 모델을 이용하여 세가지 방향, 즉 푸쉬에서 풀 방향으로, 풀에서 푸쉬 방향으로 그리고 그에 수직되는 방향으로 방해기류가 있을 때의 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템의 흡인효율을 분석하였다. 방해기류가 0.25m/s이하일 때에는 흡인효율이 거의 떨어지지 않았으나, 방해기류가 0.6m/s에서 흡인효율이 40-70%로 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 방해기류를 감소시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해서도 연구를 해야 되겠지만, 방해기류 존재 하에서 충분한 흡인 효율을 유지할 수 있는 푸쉬-풀 후드 설계기준에 대한 연구도 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Fluid film bearings are among the best devices used for overcoming friction and reducing wear. Surface texturing is a new surface treatment technique used for processing grooves and dimples on the lubricated surface, and it helps to minimize friction further and improve the wear resistance. In several studies, parallel surfaces, such as thrust bearings and mechanical face seals, have been investigated, but most sliding bearings have a convergent film shape. This paper presents the third part of a recent study and focuses on the effect of the groove shape on the lubrication performance of inclined slider bearings, following the two previous papers on the effects of the groove position and depth. We adopted the continuity and Navier - Stokes equations to conduct numerical analyses using FLUENT, which is a commercial computational fluid dynamics code. The groove shape adopted in the numerical analysis is rectangular and triangular, and its depth is varied. The results show that the streamlines, pressure distributions, and groove shape significantly influence the lubrication performance of the inclined slider bearing. For both shapes, the load-carrying capacity (LCC) is maximum near the groove depth, where vortices occur. In the shallow grooves, the LCC of the rectangular shape is higher, but in deeper grooves, that of the triangular shape is higher. The deeper the rectangular groove, the higher the decrease in the frictional force. The results of this study can be used as design data for various sliding bearings.

This work investigated the optimal condition for an uniform deposition growth rate in the vertical cylindric CVD chamber. Heat transfer, surface chemical reaction and mass diffusion in the flow field of CVD chamber h,id been computed using Fluent v5.3 code. A SIMPLE based finite Volume Method (FVM) was adopted to solve the fully elliptic equations for momentum, temperature and concentration of a chemical species. The numerical analysis results show good agreements with the measurements obtained by N. Yoshikawa. The results obtained by the numerical analysis showed that the film growth rate in the center of a susceptor is increasing, as the inner flow approaches to the forced convection. To the contrast, as it approaches to the natural convection, that in the outside of a susceptor is increasing. As the Reynolds number increases, the uniformity may not hold due to the larger temperature gradient at a susceptor surface. Therefore, when the temperature gradient on the surface of a susceptor is zero, the film growth rate becomes uniform on most surface.

Surface texturing is widely applied to reduce friction and improve the reliability of machine elements. Despite extensive theoretical studies to date, most research has been limited to parallel thrust bearings, mechanical face seals, piston rings, etc. However, most sliding bearings have a convergent film shape in the sliding direction and the hydrodynamic pressure is mainly generated by the wedge action. The results of surface texturing on inclined slider bearings are largely insufficient. This paper is the first part of a recent study focusing on the effect of the groove position on the lubrication performances of inclined slider bearings. We model a slider bearing with one rectangular groove on a fixed pad and analyze the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. The results show that the film convergence ratio and the groove position have a significant influence on the pressure and velocity distributions. There are groove positions to maximize the supporting load with the film convergence ratio and the groove reduces the frictional force acting on the slider. Therefore, the proper groove position not only improves the load-carrying capacity of the slider bearings but also reduces its frictional loss. The present results apply to various surface-textured sliding bearings and can lead to further studies.

It is currently well known that surface textures act as lubricant reservoirs, entrap wear debris, and hydrodynamic bearings, which can lead to certain increases in load-carrying capacities. Until recently, the vast majority of research has focused on parallel sliding machine components such as thrust bearings, mechanical face seals, piston rings, etc. However, most sliding bearings have a convergent film shape in the sliding direction and their hydrodynamic pressure is mainly generated by the wedge action. Following the first part of the present study that investigates the effect of groove position on the lubrication performances of inclined slider bearings, this paper focuses on the effects of groove depths and film thicknesses. Using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT, the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are numerically analyzed. The results show that the film thickness and groove depth have a significant influence on the pressure distribution. The maximum pressure occurs at the groove depth where the vortex is found and, as the depth increases, the pressure decreases. There is also a groove depth to maximize the supporting load with the film thickness. The friction force acting on the slider decreases with deeper grooves. Therefore, properly designed groove depths, depending on the operating conditions, can improve the load-carrying capacity of inclined slider bearings as compared to the bearings without a groove.

The fans installed in standard Hanwoo loose barns (room size : 10 m (width) $\times$ 5 m (length)) are frequently used to reduce Hanwoo's heat stress during hot weather and to dry the wet floor. However, the most effective method of installing fans has not been suggested yet. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate two methods of installing fans under the ceiling of Hanwoo loose barn by using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code, FLUENT and to recommend the optimum fan installing method. The fan installation options were fan tilting angles of $45^{\circ}$ and $0^{\circ}$ (horizontal). The fans of 1 m diameter were installed at 3 m above floor. A velocity scale on 10 cm and 110 cm above floor and air flow pattern were used as the parameters to evaluate the fan installing methods. The fans tilted at $45^{\circ}$ angle produced higher wind at 10 cm and 110 cm above floor and more uniform air flow pattern, compared with the fans installed horizontally. Based on these results, fans tilted at $45^{\circ}$ angle may help to reduce Hanwoo's heat stress and will dry the floor better than fans installed horizontally. Therefore, it is suggested that the fans of 1 m diameter in a standard Hanwoo loose barn should be installed at a $45^{\circ}$ tilt angle and 3 m above floor with spacing of 5 m at the center of a room column.

This study was carried out to determine necessary conditions for optimal ventilation of small windowless piglet house (5.2 (W) ${\times}$ 12.3 (L) ${\times}$ 2.3 (H) m) with negative tunnel ventilating system using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation. The weaning piglet house for this experiment was consisted of 4 rooms (520 (W) ${\times}$ 300 (L) cm), 3 fences (70 (H) cm), 1 air inlet (350 (W) ${\times}$ 2 (H) cm) and 1 exhaust fan (50 (D) cm), and simulated using CFD code, FLUENT. The simulation results for the original weaning piglet house showed ununiform ventilation for each room. Therefore, to uniformly ventilate all rooms, the heights of the air inlet and first fence were modified to 3 cm and 100 cm, respectively. The simulation result f3r the modified weaning piglet house showed uniform ventilation for all rooms and the optimum air inlet velocity of 1.4 m/s.

조류발전용 HAT 임펠러에 팁 레이크를 적용하여 임펠러 성능을 고찰해 보았다. 기존의 조류발전용 임펠러는 날개 끝 보오텍스에 의해 효율 감소로 인한 전력 손실 뿐 아니라 소음 및 진동에 의한 설치해역 주변의 해양 생태계 파괴의 우려가 있다. 임펠러 날개 끝에 레이크를 적용함으로써 효율의 개선과 함께 소음 및 진동 저감 효과를 파악하고자 하였다. 향후 레이크 비율에 따른 효율증가 및 캐비테이션 성능 향상에 대한 최적화를 수행할 계획이다.
