The effects of internal manifold designs on the reactants feed-stream in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells [PEFCs] is studied to figure out flow and thermal distribution patterns over an entire fuel cell stack. Reactants flows are modeled either laminar of turbulent depending on regions and the open channels in the bipolar plates are simulated by porous media where permeability should be pre-deter-mined for computational analysis. In this work, numerical models for reactants feed-stream In the PEFC manifolds are classified Into two major flow patterns: Z-shape and U-shape. Several types of manifold geometries are analyzed to find the optimal manifold configurations. The effect of heat generation in PEFC on the flow distribution is also Investigated applying a simplified heat transfer model in the stack level (i.e. multi-cell electrochemical power-generation unit). This modeling technique Is well suited for many large scale problems and this scheme can be used not only to account for the manifold flow pattern but also to obtain Information on the optimal design and operation of PEFC systems.

The flow in the LOX manifold of liquid rocket has been investigated using a CAE technique with an objective of economical modeling of injection holes in order to reduce the overall computational cost of flow analysis during the optimal rocket design procedure. The computational geometry is very close to that of the actual rocket design and the flow condition through the injection holes resembles that in the actual manifold of the liquid rocket. The result shows that the flow in the plane just above the injection holes is not uniformly distributed in terms of pressure and mass flow rate and this is attributed to the large-scale flow patterns present the LOX manifold. Thus, the flow physics should be understood correctly before making any attempt to model the injection holes. In the present study, several boundary conditions which were designed to effectively replace the presence of injection holes have been tested and it was found that a simple modeling can be possible by mimicking the actual geometry of the injection holes. By using this simple injection hole modeling, it was able to obtain about 30% reduction in computational cost but it was still able to reproduce the flow patterns correctly. Also the flow has been analyzed after incorporating a couple of different types of pre-distributors in LOX manifold and the effect of those will be discussed.

본 논문에서는 Ka대역 위성 중계기용 출력 멀티플렉서의 설계 및 제작에 대하여 언급하였다. 출력 멀티플렉서는 저역통과필터, 채널필터, 매니폴드(Manifold)로 구성되어 있으며, 위성 중계기의 무게와 부피를 최소화하기 위하여 채널필터는 이중모드로 설계하였다. 채널별 주파수 선택도를 높이기 위하여 채널필터는 4차 타원 응답형으로 설계하였으며, 저역통과 필터는 13차 corrugated 형으로 설계하였다. 채널필터와 매니폴드의 초기 설계 후 최적화 과정에 있어서 모든 설계 변수를 최적화시키는 대신 일부의 설계 변수만을 최적화시킴으로써 용이하게 최적화 설계할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 제작한 Ka 대역 위성 중계기용 출력 멀티플렉서의 측정결과는 설계결과와 동일한 특성을 나타내었다.

The Performance of a PEMFC stack is strongly dependent on the uniform reactants distribution on MEA. The uniform distribution can be achieved by flow-field pattern and manifold design optimized to satisfy operating conditions. This paper investigates uniform reactants distribution in channels by changing manifold shape and inlet mass flow rate. Typical U and Z shape and modified U and Z shape manifolds with buffer zone were designed. To check the uniform reactants distribution, standard deviation of mass flow rate was compared. The numerical results show that the inlet mass flow rate, inlet shape, and manifolds shape are critical factor for uniform distribution.

In this paper, a computer program for simulation of 4 cycle diesel engines including intake and exhaust manifold system is developed. The wave action theory is applied for optimization of the intake and exhaust manifold system. The calculation results of this computer program is finely accurate and agreed well with experimental results. Accordingly, it is recognized that the developed computer program can be utillized very usefully for the design of intake and manifold system. And then, influential factors of the engine performance in the design of intake manifold is numerically investigated by the calculation only. As the results it is concluded that the inertia one of the dynamic effects on the intake and exhaust maninfold affects mainly the engine performance and the pulsation one is a side effect.

This paper describes an efficient solid modeling method for thin-walled plastic or sheet metal parts, based on the non-manifold offsetting operations. Since the previous methods for modeling and converting a sheet into a solid have adopted the boundary representations for solid object as their topological framework, it is difficult to represent the exact adjacency relationship between topological entities of a sheet model and a mixture of wireframe and sheet models that can appear in the meantime of modeling procedure, and it is hard to implement topological operations for sheet modeling and transformation of a sheet into a solid. To solve these problems, we introduce a non-manifold B-rep and propose a sheet conversion method based on a non-manifold offset algorithm. Because the non-manifold offset aigorithm based on mathematical definitions results in an offset solid with tubular and spherical thickness-faces we modify it to generate the ruled or planar thickness-faces that are mostly shown in actual plastic or sheet metal parts. In addition, in order to accelerate the Boolean operations used the offset algorithm, we also develope an efficient face-face intersection algorithm using topological adjacency information.

실험실 수조에서 조석 및 조류를 발생시키기 위해서는 수조내에 흐름의 분출부와 흡입부를 적절히 설치해야 한다. 분기관은 관수로 측면에 설치된 다수의 구멍을 통하여 관내ㆍ외 압력차에 의해 물을 분출 또는 흡입하는 장치이다. 수조 폭에 따라 균등한 단위폭당 유량을 발생시키기 위해서는 각 구멍의 크기를 적절히 결정해야 하며 이를 위해서는 공급류량, 공급수두, 수두손실, 구멍에서의 분출 및 흡입류량 등의 수리특성을 파악하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 에너지 방정식과 연속방정식으로부터 비롯되는 비선형 연립방정식을 구성하고 Newton 해법을 적용하여 분출 및 흡입분기관의 수리특성을 파악하였다. 아울러, 자동제어 밸브가 부착된 분기관이 수조폭에 걸쳐 일정한 유량을 유지해야하는 조석수조에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In recent year, as the current and future emission regulations go stringent, the research of exhaust manifold and CCC has become the subject of increasing interest and attention. This study is concerned with the systematic approach to improve catalyst flow uniformity and light-off behavior through the basic understanding of exhaust flow characteristics. Computational approach to the unsteady compressible flow for exhaust manifold of 4-1 type and 4-2-1 type and CCC system of a 4-cylinder DOHC gasoline engine was performed to investigate the flow distribution of exhaust gases. In this study, through calculation, the effects of geometric configuration of exhaust manifold on flow structure and its maldistribution in monolith were mainly investigated to understand the exhaust flow patterns in terms of flow uniformity. Based on the design guidance resulting from this fundamental study, the flow uniformity of 4-2-1 type exhaust manifold demonstrated the more improved exhaust characteristics than that of the 4-1 type one.

건축용 접착제로 활용되고 있는 부틸고무는 주로 시트의 형태로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 해석을 통해 부틸고무 시트 압출용 다이를 설계하였다. 압출용 다이의 내부는 크게 매니폴드와 랜드로 나뉜다. 매니폴드는 다이중앙에서 유입되는 재료가 폭 방향으로 흐름이 이루어 지도록 하는 역할을 한다. 랜드는 재료가 흐름 방향으로 균일하게 흐르게 하여 균일한 두께의 시트가 성형되도록 한다. 다이는 매니폴드와 랜드 외에도 아일랜드를 설치하여 흐름의 안정을 주도록 하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 해석을 통하여 다이에서 매니폴드의 각도와 길이, 랜드 길이 그리고 아일랜드를 설계 변수로 하여 다이 출구에서 다이 폭 방향으로 균일한 흐름이 형성되도록 하는 최적의 다이형상을 연구하였다.
