The purpose of this study is to investigate the best melting condition with various winding number of a heating pipe, supplying quantity of engine coolant and coolant temperature at the inlet of the heating pipe. Also, it is to suggest getting method of an appropriate quantity of the agent for the urea-SCR system within 10 minutes. For this matter, this study identifies the temperature distribution of inside of urea-tank while it is frozen at the low temperature condition, and suggests the best melting condition of the frozen urea within 10 minutes. From the results, it was found that 2L of melted urea was obtained by the coolant flow rate of 200L/hr at $70^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes from the start of engine operating.

Results from an experimental study of flow distribution in a close-coupled catalytic converter(CCC) are presented. The experiments were carried out with a flow measurement system specially designed for this study under steady and transient flow conditions. A pitot tube was a tool for measuring flow distribution at the exit of the first monolith. The flow distribution of the CCC was also measured by LDV system and flow visualization. Results from numerical analysis are also presented. Experimental results showed that the flow uniformity index decreases as flow Reynolds number increases. In steady flow conditions, the flow through each exhaust pipe made some flow concentrations on a specific region of the CCC inlet. The transient test results showed that the flow through each exhaust pipe in the engine firing order, interacted with each other to ensure that the flow distribution was uniform. The results of numerical analysis were qualitatively accepted with experimental results. They supported and helped explain the flow in the entry region of CCC.

For the optimal design and the efficient operation of the double pipe type latent heat storage equipment, the effect of the parameters of the system were analysed. The statistical analysis showed that the theoretical and the experimental results of the volume change rate and the temperature variations were well agreed. Therefore, this theoretical model is reasonable to analyze two dimensional moving boundary problems. In the analysis of the effects of the parameters, the heat extraction fraction and the water outlet temperature of the system as function of the time were analysed depending on the initial temperature of PCM, water inlet temperature, water mass flow rate and the dimension of the inner tube.

The purpose of this study is to develop a snow melting system using the pulsating heat pipe(PHP). The experimental apparatus is consisted of a PHP, a concrete structure, a constant water thermostatic bath and a flowmeter. The experiment was performed at the outdoor air temperature of $-8^{\circ}C$ and inlet temperature of hot water of $75^{\circ}C$. PHP is the closed and non-loop type heat exchanger which is charging R-410A as an operating fluid. As experimental results, the temperature profile of vertical and horizontal orientation of concrete structure was measured with operating time. The heat flux of the snow melting was required more than 300 $W/m^2$. We confirmed that the snow melting system using the PHP was useful for anti-freezing road.

This paper addresses characteristics of compressible flow dynamics inside a pipe with an accumulator and an inlet orifice. It also presents a simple but stable numerical method associated with the accumulator-orifice calculation. In particular, a focus is given to developing a method of finding an optimum design of the accumulator-orifice system (i.e., the accumulator size and the throttle resistance) that gives the most effective dissipation of the water-hammering problem. It is found that there exists indeed an optimum set of parameter values for the most effective dissipation of the wave energy.

The noise of an running industrial fan or blower depends on the type of a fan, the machining accuracy and assembled conditions of each element, and buffs. Many studies have been carried out to reduce the noise through silencer in blower. In this study, 3 types of buffs which have different hole are employed in pipe of blower to study the influence the number and arrangement of buffs on the noise reduction at inlet and outlet in pipe. Commercial engineering software ANSYS was employed to analyze the characteristics and reduction ratio of pressure. Experimental results shows that optimal one can reduce the reduction ratio of noise as much as 16 percents in the laboratory. Good agreement was found between the analysed ratio of noise reduction and those obtained from the experiments.

Recently, it has been important to develop light, silent and less-vibrational automobile. In this study, in order to investigate the characteristics of the noise caused by the main silencer components-stiffener flange, inlet pipe and exhaust pipe etc., computational flow analysis, vibration and noise experiments were performed about the variable heights of the stiffener flange. Flow structure in the mainsilencer which calculated by CFD solver-IDEAS ESC, and frequency response function results of impact hammer test was proposed and it was found good agreement between former results and the exhaust orifice noise measured.

We constructed an air-lifted seawater propulsion system for decreasing fuel consumption of the ships. The system has a form of pipes which can be easily installed on the sides of the ship. Seawater mixed with air, will rise along within the pipe, and will be discharged downward. If the directions of inlet / outlet of the pipe are designed properly, a propulsive energy can be obtained. We tested the system with a model ship in Jangsa port at Sokcho-city with a water depth of 2.5 meters. The system was supplied regulated air at 6 bars during the 3 tests. The model ship was moving forward at a rate of 0.18 meters per second. In case of large ships equipped zfrom clean energy.

With time, the stable management of turbidity is becoming more important in the water treatment process. So optimization of coagulation is important for the improvement of the sedimentation efficiency. we evaluated the mixing and hydrodynamic behavior in the coagulation basin using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The items for evaluation are a location and the speed of agitator and angle of an injection pipe. The results of the CFD simulation, the efficacy of mixing in the coagulation basin was not affected according to one or two injection pipe and angle of an injection pipe. If there is a agitator near outlet of coagulation basin, the efficacy of mixing don't improve even though the speed of agitator increase. So location of agitator is perfect when it locate center at the inlet stream. The coagulation basin at this study, the proper speed of agitator is form 20rpm to 30rpm.

This study is performed for propose that exactly equivalent length of TBP in the applied at water-based fire protection system. For predict the measuring position of equivalent length, we determined the measuring position using the FVM about pressure drop of TBP. For the reckon of the exact about measured value we compared with the result of FVM and we knew the similar value each other. Using the results we proposed the friction loss measuring position that inlet of main dirction is 20 times of appellation diameter in main pipe, outlet of main dirction is 10 times of appellation diameter in main pipe and outlet of branched direction is 20 times of appellation diameter.
