Experiments were conducted to investigate the flow characteristics of water through rectangular PDMS microchannels with a hydraulic diameter ranging from 66.67 to 200 ${\mu}m$. In the experiments, the flow rate and pressure drop across the microchannels were measured at steady states. The experimental results were compared with the predictions from the conventional laminar flow theory. A significant difference between the experimental data and the theoretical predictions was found. Experimental results indicate that the pressure gradient and flow friction in microchannels are higher than those from the conventional laminar flow theory. This may be attributed to the fact that there exists effect of surface roughness of the microchannels. In this study, a surface roughness model is implemented to interpret the experimental data. A good agreement between the experimental data and the numerical predictions with a surface roughness model were found.

The pressure ripple in most hydraulic systems is the root cause of their noise and vibration. This paper reduced the pressure ripple using side branch hose for an axial piston pump applied to small excavator. First, in calculating open area, a new method using groove area of valve plate is proposed. Simulation model in AMESim environment is developed to verify proposed method, find effective length and diameter of branch hose. Finally, the comparisons with experiment results show that the proposed method is more effective than previous method in reducing the pressure ripple.

Turbulent mixed convection in heated vertical annulus is investigated using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) technique. The objective of this study is to find out the effect of buoyancy on turbulent mixed convection in heated vertical annulus. Downward and upward flows with bulk Reynolds number 8500, based on hydraulic diameter and mean velocity, have been simulated to investigate turbulent mixed convection by gradually increasing the effect of buoyancy. With increased heat flux, heat transfer coefficient first decreases and then increases in the upward flow due to the effect of buoyancy, but it gradually increases in downward flow. The mean velocity and temperature profiles can not be explained by the wall log laws due to the effect of buoyancy, too. All simulation results are in good quantitative agreement with existing numerical results and in good qualitative agreement with existing experimental results.

An experimental study on the heat transfer and friction characteristics of a fully developed turbulent air flow in a square channel with $45^{\circ}$ inclined ribs on one, two, and four walls is reported. Tests were performed for Reynolds number ranging from 7,600 to 24,900. The pitch-to-rib height ratio, p/e, was kept at 8 and rib height-to-channel hydraulic diameter ratio, $e/D_h$, was kept at 0.0667. The heat transfer coefficient and friction factor values were enhanced with the increase in the number of ribbed walls. Results of this investigation could be used in various applications of internal channel turbulent flows involving different number of roughened walls.

Fluid flow in a rectangular duct with $90^{\circ}$ mitered elbow is measured by 5W laser doppler velocity meter. The fluid flow is also computed by commercial software of STAR-CD for comparison between measured and computed velocity profiles in the duct. Reynolds numbers for the comparison are 1,608 and 11,751 based on mean velocity and hydraulic diameter of the duct. First, the fluid flow of Reynolds number equal to 1,608 is predicted by assumptions of both laminar and turbulent models. But, even though the Reynolds number is less than 2,300~3,000, the computation by turbulent model is closed to the experimental data than that by laminar model. Second, the computation for Reynolds number of 11,751 by turbulent model also predicted the experimental data satisfactorily.

With traditional experimental methods such as the secondary fluid (e.g., water) calorimetric method, it is very difficult to accurately test the local condensation heat transfer inside mini-channels. Hence, there are large discrepancies between the results of previous studies. The experimental methods as well as unidentified sources of uncertainties could be reasons for such discrepancies. In this study, innovative experimental techniques were developed to measure the in-tube condensation heat transfer coefficient. With these techniques, very low heat dissipation rates such as several watts from the mini-channel could be estimated and low mass flow rates below the 0.1 ㎏/h could be measured with reasonable uncertainties. To the authors' knowledge, these techniques provide a unique experimental apparatus for measuring the condensation heat transfer coefficients inside the sub-millimeter hydraulic diameter single channels.

Recent trends in the electronic equipment indicate that the power consumption and heat generation in a chip increase as the components are miniaturized and the computing speed becomes faster. Suitable heat dissipation is required to ensure the guaranteed performance and reliable operation of the electronic devices. The aim of the present study is to investigate the forced-convective thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a pin-fin heat exchanger as a candidate for cooling system of the electronic devices. The influence of the structure of the pin-fin assembly on heat transfer is investigated by porous medium model. The results are compared with the experimental data or correlations of several researchers for the heat transfer coefficients for the channel flow with pin-fin arrays. Finally, the effects of design parameters such as the pin-fin diameter and the spacing are examined.

The present paper studies the thermal-hydraulic behaviour of the rectangular supercritical natural circulation loop (SCNCL) using numerical model of one dimensional. Then the results of this model is confirmed with experimental and benchmark results. Variations with several geometric parameters like loop diameter, riser length, and heater length and operating conditions like heater inlet enthalpy, pressure, friction factor, and inlet and exit loss coefficient on steady-state performance are investigated for various orientations like HHHC, HHVC, VHVC and VHHC of the heater and cooler. The chances of existing static instability (Ledinegg excursion) has been investigated, which reveals that it can arise only in a low inlet enthalpy condition, far from the suggested various orientations of heater and cooler.

제올라이트를 식물 여과상의 여재로 사용가능성을 평가하고 설계 인자를 얻기 위하여 식물을 식재하지 않고 제올라이트만 칼럼에 충전하여 유기물, 인 질소 등의 제거효율 분석하여 최적 수리학적 부하, 최적 여재의 입경범위 결정 그리고 원수의 상 하향류 주입에 따른 제거효율을 비교하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 입경 범위 0.5$\sim$1 mm와 1$\sim$3 mm인 두 종류의 제올라이트를 부피비 1 : 1로 혼합하여 높이 1 m에서 수리학적 부하 53, 113, 160, 314, 450, 667 $L/m^2{\cdot}d$로 변화시키며 실험한 결과 수리학적 314 $L/m^2{\cdot}d$에서 $COD_{Cr}$, 94.63%, T-P 41.41%, T-N 90.46%과 $NH_4^+-N$ 99.75% 정도로 안정적으로 제거되었다. 제올라이트 입경 0.5$\sim$1 mm와 1$\sim$3 mm의 혼합비를 1 : 1(I), 1 : 3 (II), 1$\sim$3 mm만을 여재(III)로 사용하여, 수리학적 부하 314 $L/m^2{\cdot}d$로 동일하게 각 칼럼에 주입한 결과 T-N과 $NH_4^+-N$은 입경의 변화에 관계없이 87%, 99%이상의 높은 제거율을 보였고, COD의 경우 I, II에서 89%이상의 높은 제거율을 보였다 반면 T-P의 경우는 입경에 관계없이 56.42$\sim$58.71% 제거되었다. 그러나 1$\sim$3 mm인 제올라이트에서 제거효율이 약간 좋지 않아 두 제올라이트를 1 : 1로 혼합한 여재가 적합하였다. 수리학적 부하 314 $L/m^2{\cdot}d$, 제올라이트 입경 0.5$\sim$1 mm와 1$\sim$3 mm를 1 : 1로 혼합한 여재 높이 100 cm에서 원수를 하향류 및 상향류로 주입하면서 하향류 20, 40, 80, 100 cm, 상향류 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 cm에서 시료를 채취하여 분석한 결과 모두 원수가 주입되는 부근 여재 높이 20 cm에서 가장 많이 제거되었다. 상향류 보다 하향류로 원수를 주입했을 때 제거효율이 높았다.

점토는 물과 같이 극성이 큰 유체가 존재할 때 매우 낯은 투수계수를 갖게된다. 따라서 극성이 매우 낮은 탄화수소계연료나 할로겐화 유기용제등은 간극수(pore water)를 밀어내지 못하기 때문에 점토공극내로 이동할 수 없다. 최근들어 대기오염 저감대책의 하나로 알콜이나 MTBE(methyl-tert-butyl ether)등과 같은 가솔린 산소첨가제의 사용량이 늘어나고 있는 추세에 있다. 이들 산소첨가제는 극성을 띠고 있으며 물에 대한 용해도가 매우 높기 때문에 간극수를 교체하여 가솔린이나 유기용제등의 점토층내 이동을 촉진시킬 가능성을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가솔린-알콜 혼합연료(gasohol)의 압밀점토층 내에서의 이동을 실험적으로 살펴보았다. 카올린슬러리를 압밀시켜 제조한 점토층에 가솔린, 알콜, 그리고 물의 혼합액을 152 Pa하에서 접촉시켰다. 점토층내로의 유체이동은 교체된 간극유체유량을 측정함으로써, 그리고 현상학적인 관찰은 핵자기 공명상(magnetic resonance image; MRI)을 측정해봄으로 추적하였다. 또한 점토시료의 구조는 environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과를 볼 때 가솔린만 존재시 접촉 14일 이후에도 물로 포화된 점토층내로 가솔린이 이동하지 못한 반면 gasohol 혼합체는 접촉후 단 20분이내에 점토층을 완전 통과하여 탄화수소계연료에 첨가된 알콜이 점토층내로의 이동을 한층 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. Gasohol과 접촉시 이러한 점토의 투수계수 증가는 알콜로 인해 점토의 공극구조가 붕괴되어 더 큰 공극을 형성시켰기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 공극직경(pore diameter)이 증가함으로 gasohol이 간극수를 교체하는데 필요한 모세압력이 감소되어 gasohol이 쉽게 점토증을 이동하게 되는 것이다.
