Silica fume is a by-product of induction arc furnaces and has long been used as a mineral admixture to produce high-strength, high-performance concrete. Due to the pozzolanic reaction between calcium hydroxide and silica fume, compared with that of Portland cement, the hydration of concrete containing silica fume is much more complex. In this paper, by considering the production of calcium hydroxide in cement hydration and its consumption in the pozzolanic reaction, a numerical model is proposed to simulate the hydration of concrete containing silica fume. The heat evolution rate of silica fume concrete is determined from the contribution of cement hydration and the pozzolanic reaction. Furthermore, the temperature distribution and temperature history in hardening blended concrete are evaluated based on the degree of hydration of the cement and the mineral admixtures. The proposed model is verified through experimental data on concrete with different water-to-cement ratios and mineral admixture substitution ratios.

Propellants pressurized and fed into the combustion chamber undergoes the mechanical, chemical combustion processes. Along with their distinctive physical characteristics, propellant combustion is typically divided into the processes; injection, atomization, mixing, vaporization and chemical reaction. These processes assumed to happen in a serial manner are strongly coupled, thereby involves formidable physical complexities. In this study a numerical experiment is attempted to simulate the burning sprays due to OFO, FOF triplet / FOOF split doublet injectors. Based on Eulerian-Lagrangian frame, Navier-Stokes equation system for compressible flows is preconditioned with low Reynolds number $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model and time-integrated by LU-SGS, and the sprays are described by DSF model with the characteristics initialized by experimentally determined spray characteristics. Simplified single global reaction model approximates heptane-air reaction. It was observed that FOOF split doublet injector shows better atmization with shortest residence and the FOF triplet injector produces better combustion performance.

We must notice ground movement by excavation for reasonable tunnel designs. The convergence confinement method is an attempt to evaluate tunnel stability conditions by means of a mathematical model and a ground response curve. In this study, the convergence confinement method by numerical model was examined. This method don't need the basic assumptions for a mathematical model of circular tunnel shape, and hydrostatic in situ stress. Also modified ground response curve that is calculated after installing the support, is suggested, which informs us the ground movement mechanism. The ground response curve and the support reaction curve are mutually dependent. Especially the support reaction curve depends upon the ground response curve. The mechanism of tunnel must be analyzed by the interaction between support and ground. Consequently the stability of tunnel must be qualitatively investigated by a ground response curve and quantitatively adjudged by a numerical analysis for the reasonable design of tunnel.

In this numerical experiment, the preconditioned compressible Navier-Stokes equation is tested to analyze the laminar spray combustion. Sprayed flow field is formulated by Eulerian-Lagrangian system for the gas and liquid phases each. DSF(Deterministic Separated Flow) model was adopted for the sprays with the vortex model to describe transients of individual droplet heating. Simplified single global reaction model approximates methanol-air reaction with and without disk flame holder. The equation system is discretized by finite difference technique and time integrated by LU-SGS. Due to greatly simplified chemical reaction mechanism and the lack of experimental evidences, most of the efforts were devoted to show the applicability and robustness of preconditioned compressible flow calculation algorithm. Computation results in qualitatively reasonable combusting flow field, hence it is believed that further refinement are required to produce quantitatively accurate solutions.

In an entrained flow coal gasifier, predicting the reaction behavior of pulverized coal particles requires detailed information on devolatilization, char gasification, gaseous reactions, turbulence and heat transfer. Among the input parameters, the rate of devolatilization and the composition of volatile species are difficult to determine by experiments due to a high pressure (~40 bar) and temperature (${\sim}1500^{\circ}C$). This study investigates the effect of devolatilization models on the reaction and heat transfer characteristics of a 300 MWe Shell coal gasifier. A simplified devolatilization model and advanced model based on Flashchain were evaluated, which had different volatiles composition and devolatilization rates. It was found that the tested models produce similar flow and reaction trends, but the simplified model slightly over-predict the temperature and wall heat flux near the coal inlets.

The present study conducted a numerical modeling on the diesel SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system using ammonia as a reductant over vanadium-based catalysts $(V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2)$. Transient modeling for ammonia adsorption/desorption on the catalyst surface was firstly carried out, and then the SCR reaction was modeled considering for it. In the current catalytic reaction model, we extended the pure chemical kinetic model based on laboratory-scale powdered-phase catalyst experiments to the chemico-physical one applicable to realistic commercial SCR reactors. To simulate multi-dimensional heat and mass transfer phenomena, the SCR reactor was modeled in two dimensional, axisymmetric domain using porous medium approach. Also, since diesel engines operate in transient mode, the present study employed an unsteady model. In addition, throughout simulations using the developed code, effects of space velocity on the DeNOx performance were investigated.

촤-가스화 반응은 반응온도, 반응가스 부분압력, 시스템 총 압력, 입자크기 등 운전조건뿐만 아니라 촤의 화학적 조성 및 물리적 구조의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 두 종류의 역청탄 촤를 이용하여 반응온도 1,000-$1,400{^{\circ}C}$에서 $CO_{2}$ 가스화시 입자크기의 영향을 관찰하였다. 실험실 규모의 고정식 반응기를 이용하여 대기압 하에서 실험을 수행하였으며 반응가스인 $CO_{2}$(40 vol%)가 반응기에 공급되면 촤와 반응하여 CO를 생성하였다. 촤의 탄소 전환율을 측정하기 위하여 비분산적외선 방식의 CO/$CO_{2}$ 센서가 장착된 실시간 가스분석기를 이용하였다. 실험결과 동일한 온도에서 입자크기가 감소할수록 가스화 반응성은 증가하였으며 온도가 증가할수록 반응성에 미치는 입자크기의 영향은 더욱더 크게 증가하였다. 또한 반응성이 낮은 촤에서 입자크기의 영향은 다소 적게 나타났다. 입자크기와 석탄 종류는 반응모델에도 영향을 주었다. Shrinking core model은 반응성이 낮은 석탄을 잘 묘사했으며 반대로 Volume reaction model은 반응성이 높은 석탄을 잘 묘사하였다.

드레이톤 탄으로부터 제조된 차(char)의 $850^{\circ}C$ 등온조건 가스화 반응에서 반응기체인 이산화탄소-질소 혼합기체의 이산화탄소 농도가 반응속도에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 저온 가스화 반응성을 높이기 위해 탄산칼륨을 사용하였다. 이산화탄소의 농도가 증가할수록 차-이산화탄소(char-$CO_2$) 가스화 반응성은 좋으며 전환율 증가 속도는 고농도에서는 일정하게 유지되었다. 가스화 반응성은 증가하였으며, 70% 이상의 고농도 조건에서는 일정하게 유지되었다. 기-고체 반응모델 중에서 shrinking core model (SCM)과 shrinking core model (SCM), modified volumetric reaction model (MVRM)을 비교하였다. 선형 회귀를 통해 얻은 상관계수 값은 저농도에서는 SCM이 VRM보다 높은 반면, 고농도에서는 VRM이 SCM보다 높은 값을 보였다. 모든 농도에서 MVRM의 상관계수 값은 다른 모델들 보다 가장 높은 값을 보였다.

Many PE (pre-erection) blocks are supported by wooden, concrete, or steel supports when they are stocked in the outdoor areas of a shipyard. Their positions and numbers are planned on the basis of the workers' experience. Recently, many shipyards have been making PE blocks with various shapes and weight distributions because of the variety of ships and building technologies. Therefore, it is now necessary to deal with blocks that they have no experience with. We propose a method to conveniently and quickly evaluate the structural safety of PE block supports, without the need for special knowledge and technology related to structural analysis. This method can reduce the large number of man hours (MH) normally needed for the analysis. The three-dimensional grillage analysis is performed for a simplified grillage model of a PE block. For efficiency, the grillage model of the PE block is automatically built from its three-dimensional CAD model, and its weight is also automatically distributed on the grillage model. The integrated system has been comprehensively implemented to perform the grillage analysis for the reaction forces on block supports. This paper describes how to make a grillage model of a PE block and estimate the weight distribution of the block on this grillage model. These steps are verified by comparing the supports reaction forces to those of the 3D finite element analysis for the PE blocks that are provided by a shipyard.
