A commercial CFD code is used to compute the 3-D viscous flow field within the inlet flow concentrator of the newly developed AHU (Air Handling Unit). To improve the performance of the AHU, the inlet air needs to be gradually accelerated to the fan's annular velocity without causing turbulence or flow separation. Three major geometric parameters were selected to specify the inlet shape of the AHU. The performance of the AHU could be measured by the inlet and outlet flow uniformity and the total pressure loss through the inlet flow concentrator. Several numerical calculations were carried out to determine the influence of the geometric parameters on the performance of the AHU. The best geometric values were decided to have efficient inlet shape with analyzing CFD calculation results.

In order to design efficient Urea Decomposition Chamber (UDC) for the Low Pressure (LP) Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, numerical simulations were conducted with respect to various design parameters. The design parameters examined in this simulation include the chamber diameter, inlet and outlet shape of chamber, and urea injection point. Reaction kinetics for the urea decomposition was proposed and validated with the experimental data in the range of $300{\sim}450^{\circ}C$. The effects of design parameters on the performance of UDC were evaluated by the calculated urea conversion and pressure drop. As a result, the local optimum design values were derived by the parametric study.

본 연구에서는 옥외소화전의 디스크 형상을 고려한 압력손실에 관한 실험 및 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 옥외소화전의 압력손실은 국제 시험규격인 Underwriters Laboratory (UL)에서 제시하고 있는 시험방법을 적용하였으며, 옥외소화전의 입 출구 배관 직경을 고려한 압력손실 실험 장치를 제작하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 옥외소화전은 입구 직경 150 mm 1개와 토출부 직경 63.5 mm 2개 그리고 직경 114.3 mm 1개인 구조로 직경 63.5 mm인 토출부는 유량범위 760 L/min~2,270 L/min, 직경 114.3 mm인 토출부는 3,030 L/min~6,060 L/min 범위에서 압력손실을 측정하고 유량계수를 구하였다. 동일한 실험조건에서 상용해석프로그램인 ANSYS Ver.14.0을 사용하여 압력손실 측정값과 해석결과를 비교하여 정확성을 확인하였으며, 다양한 디스크 형상을 모델링하여 압력손실에 중요한 영향을 미치는 인자를 분석하였다. 그 결과 옥외소화전은 디스크의 경사 각도가 $0^{\circ}$~$45^{\circ}$인 경우 유량계수는 494.46~680.64 ($L/min/kPa^{0.5}$)로 경사각이 작을수록 압력손실이 가장 낮게 나타나는 것을 수치적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과는 옥외소화전의 성능인 압력손실을 예측하기 위한 디스크 형상의 설계 자료로 활용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The heat and flow characteristics in a single-phase parallel-flow heat exchanger was examined numerically to obtain its optimal shape. A response surface method was introduced to predict its performance approximately with respect to design parameters over design domain. Design parameters are inflow and outflow angle of the working fluid and horizontal and vertical location of inlet and outlet. The evaluation of the relative priority of the design parameters was performed to choose three important parameters in order to use a response surface method. A JF factor was used as an evaluation characteristic value to consider the heat transfer and the pressure drop simultaneously. The JF factor of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by about 5.3%.

발전소의 냉각수 방류과정에서 대량으로 발생하는 거품의 제거를 위하여 지금까지 소포제와 확산방지 막에 의존해왔지만 유지보수나 비용 등의 문제로 안정적인 구조물에 의한 거품발생 방지 방안 마련이 요구되어왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 거품저감 구조물 설계 기술을 확보하기 위하여 공기연행 해석이 가능한 난류 수치 모형을 적용해 보았다. 방류수의 낙하양상에 따라 공기연행률의 차이가 있고 차단벽의 잠김 깊이와 통과 유속에 따라 연행공기의 유출률이 달라지므로 각 Case에 대한 비교를 통해 적정 단면을 설계할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 단면 형상에 따른 공기 연행률과 유출률을 비교하여 거품의 발생 및 유출이 최소가 되는 단면을 찾았으며, 설계 기준은 현장 여건 특히, 바닥 수심고와 월류양상 등에 따라 달라질 수 있으나 수중 방류구 통과 유속은 1 m/s이내가 되도록 하고 차단벽의 잠김 깊이는 최소한 수중 방류구 단면의 수직고 이상은 되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

This study analyzed the duct characteristics of hubless rim-driven propeller (RDP) used in underwater robots. In the previous study, flow visualization experiments were performed with an advancing ratio of 0.2 to 1. The vortex at the front of the duct increased in strength while maintaining its size as the advancing ratio decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to study the optimization of the duct shape. Conventional propeller thrusters use acceleration/deceleration ducts to increase their efficiency. However, unlike conventional propellers, it is impossible to apply to airfoil acceleration/deceleration ducts due to the RDP structure. In this study, duct wake flow characteristics, thrust force, and efficiency according to the duct shape of RDP were analyzed using numerical analysis techniques. Duct design is limited and six duct shapes were designed. As a result, an optimized duct shape was designed considering duct wake flow characteristics, thrust force, and efficiency. The shape that the outlet width of the RDP was kept constant until the end of the duct showed higher thrust force and efficiency.

Proper operation of clarifier partly depends on outlet conditions. Effluent has to be uniformly withdrawn to prevent scouring of settled sludge and carry over of settling sludge from the clarifier. In this paper, 3-D numerical model was employed to analyze the flow and settling performance of the rectangular clarifier. There were two simulation conditions of which in the same clarifier, the first one was assumed to have a 11.5 meter weir length and the second has 8.5 meters. Shape, location and placement of the weir structure were different, but both of those outlets meet weir loading design criteria. Simulation results indicate that clarifier with longer weir generally gave strong and unstable currents at the mid-stream where the weir starts while in the clarifier with short and relatively simple weir, uniform and stable flow was observed in most parts of the settling zone, and especially at the weir region. These flow conditions affected settling performance. Effulent SS concentration from clarifier equipped with the long and complicated placement of weir was 24.5 mg/L, but 7.0 mg/L from the clarfieir having short weir length. From this study, it can be concluded that as reported from other studies, weir loading does not guarantee settling performance and 3-D numerical model can be a useful tool for determining and validating outlet structure.

In this paper, a new preform design method is proposed to eliminate the excessive flash in metal forging process. After carrying out finite element simulation of the process with an initial billet, backward particle tracing is performed from the outlet of the flash. Then, the region which belongs to the flash is easily found .. The process is analyzed again with the redesigned billet which is removed that region the above mentioned region. The optimal preform shape which minimizes the amount of flash without changing the forgibility can be obtained in several iterations.

This paper presents the performance characteristics of a centrifugal blower using the design parameters of an impeller blade. Two design variables, the bending length from the blade trailing edge and bending angles of an impeller blade, are introduced to analyze the effects on the blower performance. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model are introduced to analyze the performance and internal flow of the blower. Relatively good agreement between experimental measurements and numerical simulation at the design flow condition is obtained. Throughout present study, it is known that pressure increases as the bending length from the trailing edge and bending angle increase while efficiency decreases. But efficiency is decreased. Detailed flow field inside the centrifugal blower is also analyzed and compared.

This study performs structural and vibrational analyses on three models of motorcycle mufflers, A, B, and C, due to the pressure of exhaust gases. Model A is the common model seen on motorcycles, model B is a model with a longer outlet, and model C is a model with some curved outlets. This research shows that all models have sufficient strength at the given loading condition, and model A has the highest durability against vibration among three models. The appropriate configuration can be determined to be the most efficient by applying this result to the design of motorcycle muffler.
