Fouling deposits due to surface-coated particles have been calculated using CFD techniques. The sticking probabilities of the surface-coated particles are also evaluated on the basis of an energy balance. The sticking probabilities of the deposit surface are also included in the prediction of the deposition occurring through the multiple impaction of particles with the deposit surface. The sticking probability of an impacting particle is expressed in terms of such parameters as particle viscosity, surface tension, impact velocity, impact angle and the thickness of the sticky layer on a particle. Particulate behavior around a tube in cross flow was studied using the Lagrangian approach. Three important parameters i.e. impact velocity, impact angle, and particulate concentration, were used in the prediction of deposition rate. The computational predictions were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.

Performance of electrostatic diesel PM filtration systems (E-DPS) with different types has been tested using the carbon particles generated by spark discharge in laboratory. Among the five electrostatic precipitators, the multiple wires cylindrical E-DPS with the highest collection efficiency and relatively lower differential pressure at the flow rate of $1\;m^3$/min, as an applicable device to diesel engine as an after treatment system, has been combined with another collection cylinder to improve the collection efficiency of diesel particulate matters generated from diesel engines. The multiple wires cylindrical E-DPS combined with the cylindrical collector showed the collection efficiency of more than 60% at the engine speed of 2,000 rpm with the engine loads of 25 and 50%.

Particulate matter (PM) is one of the major indoor air pollutants especially in the subway station in Korea. In order to remove PM in the subway station, several kinds of PM removal system such as roll-filter, auto-washable air filter, demister, and electrostatic precipitator re used in the air handling unit (AHU) of subway station. However, those systems are faced to operation and maintenance problems since the filter-regeneration unit consisting of electrical or water jet parts is malfunctioned due to the high load of particulates and the filter material needs periodic replacement. In this study, we surveyed the particle removal systems in order to develop the new system of particle removing can be adopted in the current AHU of subway station.

The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) has been used for degrading atmospheric pollutants. These devices induce the electrical forces to facilitate the removal of particulate pollutants. The ions travel from the high voltage electrode to the grounded electrode by Coulomb force induced by the electric field when a high voltage is applied between two electrodes. The ions collide with gas molecules and exchange momentum with each other thus inducing fluid motion, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow. In this study, for the simulation of electric field and EHD flow in ESPs, an open source EHD solver, "espFoam", has been developed using open source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM(R) (Open Field Operation and Manipulation). The electric potential distribution and ionic space charge density distribution were obtained with the developed solver, and validated with experimental results in the literature. The comparison results showed good agreement. Turbulence model is also incorporated to simulate turbulent flow; hence the developed solver can analyze laminar and turbulent flow. In distributions of electric potential and space charge, the distributions become distorted and asymmetric as the flow velocity increases. The effect of electrical drift flow was investigated for different flow velocities and the secondary flow in a flow of low velocity is successfully predicted.

The DPF temperature distribution which has a great effect on regenerating the ceramic filter effectively was measured at 30 locations using K-type thermocouples. Five partitioned electric heaters were used for heating the ceramic filter and they are switched ON/OFF in order. Also, the temperature distribution in the ceramic filter was measured with varying the electrical power supply to the heaters and the mass flow rate of the air supply from a blower. The uniform distribution of the air flow velocity at the inlet of the DPF make that of the temperature in the ceramic filter. The difference in heating ability between the partitioned heaters had a great effect on the temperature distribution in the ceramic filter.

In this paper, it is proposed to solve the problem of the harmful exhaust gas reduction device DPF. The exhaust gas is effectively guided through the control of the exhaust gas flow path which is separated in both directions. Through cross control of two DPF units, it helps to improve the purification and regeneration combustion characteristics of harmful emissions. It is possible to prevent an increase in internal pressure caused by deposition of particulate matter in the DPF. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an automobile harmful exhaust gas reduction device capable of solving the problem of lowering the output and lowering the fuel consumption.

연속살균장치는 $130^{\circ}C$에서 $140^{\circ}C$의 초고온에서 연속적으로 식품을 열처리 하는 공정으로 재래 배치식 공정에 비하여 순간적인 짧은 시간이 소요되는 경제적인 공정이나, 액상과 고상으로 구성된 저산도 식품은 고상입자의 대류열전달 계수와 장치내 체류시간이 정확히 구명되지 않아서 연속살균기술이 성공적으로 적용되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서 연속살균장치에서의 액상식품과 고상식품사이의 대류열전달 계수를 예측하기 위하여 연속살균장치의 Hold tube에서 정육면체 모델 식품내부의 온도를 측정할 수 있는 장치를 개발하였다. 연속살균장치의 홀드튜브에서 정육면체 모델 식품의 온도변화를 예측할 수 있는 유한차분법을 이용한 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하고 소고기를 대상으로 이 시뮬레이션 모델의 입력변수인 비열, 열전도도를 실험적으로 측정하여 사용하였다. 0.0에서 15.0 centipoise의 점도를 가지는 모델 액상식품의 15.6에서 45.2liter/min 의 유속에 대하여 액상과 소고기 정육면체의 대류열전달계수는 792에서 2107W/$m^2$K으로 예측되었다.

The phenomena of two-phase suspension flows appear widely in nature and industrial processes. Hence, it is of great importance to understand the mechanism of the gas-solid two-phase flows. In the present study, the numerical simulation has been approached by utilizing the Eulerian-Lagrangian methodology for describing the characteristics of the fluid and particulate phases in a vertical pipe and a 90°square-sectioned bend. The continuous phase(gas phase) is described by the Eulerian formulation and a κ-ε turbulence model is employed to find mean and turbulent properties of the gas phase. The particle properties(velocity and trajectory) are then described by a Lagrangian approach and computed using the mean velocity and turbulent fluctuating velocity of the gas phase. The predictions are compared with measurements by laser-Doppler velocimeter for the validation. As a result, the calculated results show good agreements.

The TIER-LII system was established and evaluated using carbon black for diesel particulate size measurement. It contains a new designed sensor head which makes it easier to be measured. Through LII signal analysis of some parameters, we can understand that there were few correlations observed in effect of temperature, shield gas flow rate, and mixture flow rate.. However, an amount of difference was observed in different size of particulates.

Polycrystalline Al-Cu ribbons were produced by planar flow casting(PFC). Solidification behavior and microstructual changes of the ribbons have been investigated as a function of ribbon thickness and processing parameters. The solidification front velocity, V varies within the ribbon, decreasing with increasing the distance, S from the wheel-contact surface, as $V=17.6S^{-1}$. In Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy, rapid decrease in solidification velocity toward the free surface causes a change in solidification morphology from planar to cellular, and finally, to dendritic. The length and inclination of columnar grains solidified with planar front were related to the wheel velocity. The transition from particulate degenerate eutectic structure to regular lamellar eutectic structure was observed to be caused by a difference of the relative growth velocites of ${\alpha}-Al$ and ${\theta}$ during solidification in the Al-Cu eutectic alloy.
