The fully developed turbulent momentum and heat transfer induced by the roughness elements on the outer wall surfaces in concentric annuli are analytically studied on the basis of a modified turbu-lence model. The resulting momentum and heat transfer are discussed in terms of various parame-ters such as the radius ratio the roughness density Reynolds number and Prandtl number accord-ing to the heating condition. The study shows that certain artificial roughness elements may be used to enhance heat transfer rates with advantage from the overall efficiency point of view.

Experiments to investigate the mixing performance of unlike doublet impinging jets are conducted. Reynolds number of simulants used in this study rages from 1.0 to 1.5 Cold flow test is performed to investigate the hydrodynamic effect and spray of the impinging jets are collected locally and calculated by using Rupe's mixing efficiency equation. Momentum exchanges and relative velocity ratio between two jets are taken as the main parameter to represent the effect of enlargement of the orifice diameter. As diameter ratio increases, the corresponding momentum ratio where maximum mixing efficiency occurs and relative velocity at the maximum mixing efficiency ranges 0.6 to 0.7, respectively. Penetration depth can be taken as a prominent parameter to estimate the mixing efficiency.

An experimental study was carried out, in order to set up the procedure for evaluation of hot fire test, to investigate the effect of mixture on combustion performance and combustion stability , and to determine the optimum design condition for designing the liquid rocket engine. $HNO_3$/Kerosene uni-element liquid rocket engine(thrust 24 $\iota{b}_f$, chamber pressure 200 psia) using impinging streams doublet injector was designed, and ground hot-fire test was carried out. To prevent or reduce the hard start during ignition period, two step ignition method was used. This was accomplished by maintaining about 25% of the designed operating pressure doting transient period, then chamber pressure was built up to the designed operating pressure. Maximum combustion efficiency was at O/F ratio 3.6, and combustion efficiency is decreased with increasing momentum ratio.

Three-dimensional engineering simulations of momentum-driven tornado-like vortices are conducted to investigate the flow dynamics dependency on swirl ratio and the possible relation with real tornado Fujita scales. Numerical results are benchmarked against the laboratory experimental results of Baker (1981) for a fixed swirl ratio: S = 0.28. The simulations are then extended for higher swirl ratios up to S = 2 and the variation of the velocity and pressure flow fields are observed. The flow evolves from the formation of a laminar vortex at low swirl ratio to turbulent vortex breakdown, followed by the vortex touch down at higher swirls. The high swirl ratios results are further matched with full scale data from the Spencer, South Dakota F4 tornado of May 30, 1998 (Sarkar, et al. 2005) and approximate velocity and length scales are determined.

Two-dimensional steady laminar natural convection around a heat conducting and generating solid body inside a square enclosure with different thermal boundaries is performed. The mathematical model is governed by the coupled equation of mass, momentum and energy. These equations are discretized by finite volume method with power-law scheme and solved numerically by SIMPLE algorithm with under-relaxation technique. Effect of Rayleigh number, temperature difference ratio of solid-fluid, aspect ratio of solid-enclosure and the thermal conductivity ratio of solid-fluid are investigated numerically for Pr = 0.7. The flow and heat transfer aspects are demonstrated in the form of streamlines and isotherms respectively.

The purpose of this study was to prove that there is inherently golden ratio and color harmony in nature and to investigate some examples that have applied this elements in and out of construction . This is to provide a momentum to explore another new principles of nature and apply them to not only interior but also another design field. Under this purpose, the author of this study reviewed general theories on golden ratio and colour harmony and related them to leaves of plant and flowers to consider. As a result, it has revealed that theoretical golden ratio and colour harmony coincide with the order of nature, and this has made the author to investigate certain examples applied some orders owe can see in the plants to the interior or exterior parts of construction. There are lots of principles in nature still unrevealed to us, and therefore we must consistently make efforts to study new formative orders to apply them.

Dynamic behavior of an ammonia-water absorption system was investigated numerically. Thermal-hydraulic model for a single-effect 3 RT chiller was developed by applying transient conservation equations of total mass, $NH_3$ mass, energy and momentum to each component. Transient variations of system properties and transport variables were analysed during start-up operation. Numerical analyses were performed to quantify the effects of bulk concentration and charging ratio on the system performance in terms of cooling capacity, coefficient of performance, and time constant of system. For an absorption chiller considered in the present study, optimum charging ratio and bulk concentration were to found to exist, which resulted in the maximum cooling capacity and COP. The time constant increased as the charging ratio increased, but decreased with the increase of bulk concentration.

For the prediction of combustion performance of the Unlike Impinging Quadlet Injector (OOOF type), mixing efficiency, mixing characteristic velocity, and efficiency of mixing characteristic velocity were obtained from the cold test. Water/kerosene were used for simulants, The momentum ratio of oxidizer and fuel were mixing correlating parameter. Orifice discharge coefficient, spray pattern and mass distribution were measured. As a result, invasion-depth had strong effect on mixing efficiency, mixing characteristic velocity, and efficiency of mixing characteristic velocity. Mixing efficiency and efficiency of mixing characteristic velocity showed maximum value for momentum ratio 1.67(TMR = 2.5), and fuel rich state showed larger decreasing ratio than oxidizer rich state.

An injector for fuel rich gas generator was designed and experimentally investigated. Five variations of F-O-F triplet impinging type injector were tested to evaluate spray characteristics with kerosene/water simulant propellant. Test was focused to find the effect of design variables of impinging angle, and impinging distance, on the atomization performance. A mixing efficiency is used to compare droplet distribution and local O/F ratio of each injector in the range of momentum ratio of 0.2~1.3. Test results shows the max value of mixing efficiency locates about the 0.8 in momentum ratio. And the injector with an impinging angle of 45 degree and impinging distance of 6mm shows the very good performance result suitable for fuel rich gas generator. A combustion test will be also conducted with selected injector to verify the spray pattern and mixing efficiency.

The pintle injector has many advantages in the key characteristics of a liquid rocket engine, such as combustion stability, combustion efficiency, and wide range of comprehensive thrust control, design and manufacture, and test fired under supercritical conditions. The pintle injector is manufactured with a rectangular, single-row orifice for thrust control and production considerations. In order to verify the combustion performance of the pintle injector and its potential as a commercial injector, the combustion characteristics were analyzed by varying the TMR (Total Momentum Ratio) and BF (Blockage Factor). The result of the hot firing test showed that the heat flux increased as TMR increased, and it confirmed that the characteristic velocity efficiency was more affected by BF than TMR. Suppose a single-row pintle injector with efficiency characteristics insensitive to changes in TMR can achieve high efficiency at low fuel differential pressure conditions. In that case, the variable pintle injector's design flexibility can be increase.
