Modeling and simulation of air humidification by hollow fiber membrane contactors are investigated in the current study. A computational fluid dynamic model was developed by solving the k-epsilon turbulence 2D Navier-Stokes equations as well as mass conservation equations for steady-state conditions in membrane contactors. Finite element method is used for the study of the air humidification under different operating conditions, with a focus on the humidity density, total mass transfer flux and velocity field. There has been good agreement between simulation results and experimental data obtained from literature. It is found that the enhancement of air stream decreases the outlet humidity from 0.392 to 0.340 (module 1) and from 0.467 to 0.337 (module 2). The results also indicated that there has been an increase in air velocity in the narrow space of shell side compared with air velocity wide space of shell side. Also, irregular arrangement has lower dead zones than regular arrangement which leads to higher water flux.

A code developed using the flux-difference splitting scheme on the hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method is applied to simulate three-dimensional internal waves. The material interface is regarded as a moving contact discontinuity and is captured on the basis of mass conservation without any additional treatment across the interface. Inviscid fluxes are estimated using the flux-difference splitting scheme for incompressible fluids of different density. The hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method is used to enforce the boundary condition for a moving three-dimensional body. Immersed boundary nodes are identified within an instantaneous fluid domain on the basis of edges crossing a boundary. The dependent variables are reconstructed at the immersed boundary nodes along local normal lines to provide the boundary condition for a discretized flow problem. The internal waves are simulated, which are generated by an pitching ellipsoid near an material interface. The effects of density ratio and location of the ellipsoid on internal waves are compared.

The objective of the paper is to analyze the thermally induced density wave oscillations in water cooled boiling water reactors. A transient thermal hydraulic model is developed with a characteristics-based implicit finite-difference scheme to solve the nonlinear mass, momentum and energy conservation equations in a time-domain. A two-phase flow was simulated with a one-dimensional homogeneous equilibrium model. The model treats the boundary conditions naturally and takes into account the compressibility effect of the two-phase flow. The axial variation of the heat flux profile can also be handled with the model. Unlike the method of characteristics analysis, the present numerical model is computationally inexpensive in terms of time and works in a Eulerian coordinate system without the loss of accuracy. The model was validated against available benchmarks. The model was extended for the purpose of studying the flow-induced density wave oscillations in forced circulation and natural circulation boiling water reactors. Various parametric studies were undertaken to evaluate the model's performance under different operating conditions. Marginal stability boundaries were drawn for type-I and type-II instabilities in a dimensionless parameter space. The significance of adiabatic riser sections in different boiling reactors was analyzed in detail. The effect of the axial heat flux profile was also investigated for different boiling reactors.

구름이 유입하는 경우 해양대기경계층의 발달을 분석하기 위하여, 울릉도에서 관측한 레윈존데 자료와 AWS 자료, 위성사진, 동해에 설치된 부이 자료를 이용하였다. 이 자료를 이용하여 열의 이류와 표층 열속, 구름 유입에 따른 복사에너지를 추정하였다. 혼합층 내의 열 변화 및 혼합층의 발달을 표층 열속과 구름에 의한 장파복사속으로 설명하였다. 열속의 변화를 알아보기 위해 벌크법을 이용하였다. 울릉도, 동해상의 부이, 포항에서 관측한 자료를 이용한 열수지 방정식으로 대기경계층의 열보존 관계를 분석하였다. 구름의 유입으로 인해 일몰 후 지면의 복사냉각이 방해되고, 구름에서 장파복사가 방출된다. 그로 인해 야간에 오히려 기온이 증가하였다. 또 남서쪽으로부터 따뜻한 공기가 이류되어, 하층 대기의 온도를 증가시켰다. 이러한 이유로 혼합층이 파괴되지 않고, 잔류층을 형성하며 남아있었다.

본 연구는 두 가지 유형의 아트리움 공간에 대해서 Zone모델과 Field모델을 비교하였으며 특히 천장에 열 유속을 갖는 아트리움 화재에 대해서 SMEP화재 모델을 적용하여 연기거동을 수치해석 하였다. Zone 모델로는 NIST에서 개발된 CFAST 그리고 CSIRO에서 개발된 NBTC 1-room 모델을 사용하여 SMEP Field모델을 검증하였다. PISO 알고리즘과 부력항을 포함한 수정 k-e epsilon 난류모델을 사용한 SMEP은 연속, 운동, 에너지 그리고 농도 방정식을 풀었으며, 상용 Zone 모델들과의 비교는 서로 유사한 결과를 보였다. 천장이 유리로 만들어진 아트리움의 경우, 태양열에 의한 천장 열 유속을 고려함으로써 좀더 실제적인 화재현상을 규명할 수 있다. 수치해석결과 천장 열 유속 조건은 연층의 온도 분포에는 영향을 미치지만 연기의 하강과 거동에는 커다란 영향을 미치지 않고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 화재 감지기나 배연 설비 시스템의 설치시 이러한 점들이 고려되어야만 한다.

The interaction of forced convection-conduction with thermal radiation in laminar boundary layer over a plate fin is studied numerically. The analysis is based on complete solution whereby the heat conduction equation for the fin is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy in the fluid boundary layer adjacent to the fin. The fluid is a gray medium and diffusion(Rosseland) approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The resulting boundary value problem are convection-conduction parameter N$_{c}$ and radiation-conduction parameter m, Prandtl number Pr. Numerical results are presented for gases with the Prandtl numbers of 0.7 & 5 with values of N$_{c}$ and M ranging from 0 to 10 respectively. The object of this study is to provide the first results on forced convection-radiation interaction in boundary layer flow over a semi-infinite flay plate which can be used for comparisons with future studies that will consider a more accurate expression for the radiative heat flux. The agreement of the results from the complete solution presented by E. M. Sparrow and those from this paper for the special case of M=0 is good. The overall rate of heat transfer from the fin considering radiative effect is higher than that from the fin neglecting radiative effect. The local heat transfer coefficient with radiative effect is higher than that without radiative effect. In the direction from tip to base, those coefficients decrease at first, attain minimum, and then increase. The larger values of N$_{c}$ M, Pr give rise to larger fin temperature variations and the fin temperature without radiative effect is always higher than that with radiative effect.

The aim of this study is to determine the drought stress index through photochemical analysis in red pepper (Capsiumannuum L.). The photochemical interpretation was performed in the basis of the relation between Kautsky effect and Photosystem II (PSII) following the measurement of chlorophyll, pheophytin contents, and $CO_2$ assimilation in drought stressed 5-week-old red pepper plants. The $CO_2$ assimilation rate was severely lowered with almost 77% reduction of chlorophyll and pheophytin contents at four days after non-irrigation. It was clearly observed that the chlorophyll fluorescence intensity rose from a minimum level (the O level), in less than one second, to a maximum level (the P-level) via two intermediate steps labeled J and I (OJIP process). Drought factor index (DFI) was also calculated using measured OJIP parameters. The DFI was -0.22, meaning not only the initial inhibition of PSII but also sequential inhibition of PSI. In real, most of all photochemical parameters such as quantum yield of the electron transport flux from Quinone A ($Q_A$) to Quinone B ($Q_B$), quantum yield of the electron transport flux until the PSI electron acceptors, quantum yield of the electron transport flux until the PSI electron acceptors, average absorbed photon flux per PSII reaction center, and electron transport flux until PSI acceptors per cross section were profoundly reduced except number of QA reducing reaction centers (RCs) per PSII antenna chlorophyll (RC/ABS). It was illuminated that at least 6 parameters related with quantum yield/efficiency and specific energy fluxes (per active PSII RC) could be applied to be used as the drought stress index. Furthermore, in the combination of parameters, driving forces (DF) for photochemical activity could be deduced from the performance index (PI) for energy conservation from photons absorbed by PSII antenna until the reduction of PSI acceptors. In conclusion, photochemical responses and their related parameters can be used as physiological DFI.

근축회절 이론에서는 횡배율이 달라도 파장과 수치구경이 같으면 항상 동일하게 회절한다. 하지만 수치구경이 큰 광학계에서는 비근축 회절효과에 의하여 횡배율에 따라 회절 특성이 변화하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 높은 수치구경을 가지는 무수차 광학계에서 나타나는 비근축 회절효과를 주요면의 만곡이라는 관점에서 해석하고, 배율이 다른 무수차 원추곡면경의 결상에서 비근축회절효과에 의한 MTF의 변화를 살펴보았다.

The bubble motion during nucleate boiling in a microchannel is investigated by numerically solving the equations governing conservation of mass, momentum and energy in the liquid and vapor phases. The liquid-vapor interface is tracked by a level set method which is modified to include the effects of phase change at the interface and contact angle at the wall. Also, the evaporative heat flux from the thin liquid film that forms underneath a growing bubble attached to the wall is incorporated in the analysis. Based on the numerical results, the effects of channel size, contact angle, wall superheat and waiting period on the bubble growth and heat transfer in a microchannel are quantified.

This paper presents a model on the migration characteristics which is developed by using the equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and for lateral stability of the streambed. This model enables prediction of the magnitude the location of near-bank bed scour as well as rates and direction of meander migration in the sine-wave type revers (SWR) of small sinuosity. It is evident from this study that the transverse bed slope factor B' and transverse mass flux factor play significant roles in predicting migration characteristics, and their values of B'=4.0 and $\alpha$= 0.4 seem reasonable. This model will produce a useful quidelines in planning, design, construction, and development of SWR basin projects.
