이 연구의 목적은 열수력 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 PCHE의 새로운 유로 형상을 제안하는 것이다. 기존의 Zigzag 유로는 굽힘점에서 유동 박리와 역류 영역의 발생으로 높은 압력손실을 가지고 있다. 이 단점을 개선하기 위하여 굽힘점에 직관영역을 삽입하였다. 또한 직관의 길이 변화가 열전달 및 압력손실에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 새로운 형상과 기존 Zigzag 유로의 열수력 성능을 Goodness Factor를 사용하여 정량적으로 비교하였다. 질량유량은 $1.41{\times}10^{-4}$에서 $2.48{\times}10^{-4}kg/s$까지 변화 하였다. 1mm 직관길이에서 평균 Goodness Factor는 Zigzag보다 약 25% 정도 증가되었다.

20세기에 대두된 HCFC나 CFC계의 냉매들의 환경에의 악영향을 극복하기 위하여 보다 환경 친화적인 이산화탄소와 같은 자연냉매에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 겨울철 대기의 열원을 이용하여 증발을 유도하는 이산화탄소 열펌프는 증발기의 온도가 높아 효율이 상대적으로 낮아지고, 130bar가 넘는 고압으로 인하여 열펌프 설비 부품들의 제작의 어려움이 따르게 된다. 본 연구는 보다 낮은 압력의 새로운 2단 팽창식 $CO_2$ 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프를 고안하여 이러한 단점들을 해소하고 보다 효율을 증가시키고자 하였다. 새로운 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프에 2단 팽창방식과 효과적인 냉각방식의 시스템 구성을 하여 혼합냉매인 $CO_2$ 와 R32를 적용하였다. 공정에 고압 70bar, 중간 팽창압은 25bar, 최종 저압은 10bar를 적용하여 해석한 결과, 현재의 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프 공정의 COP는 1.629이었으나, 개선된 중간 압력 25bar의 2단 팽창 오토 캐스케이드 공정은 2.332로 현재의 공정보다 43.15% 향상되었다. 또한 저압측 증발기의 온도도 $-10^{\circ}C$ 이하가 되어 찬 외기에도 증발이 용이하게 발생되는 공정이 되었다. 본 공정이 향후 $CO_2$ 열펌프의 성능계수를 보다 향상시키고 고압에 따른 부품 문제들의 해소에 기여할 수 있는 공정으로 분석되었다.

A new cavitating model by using bubble size distribution based on bubbles-mass has been proposed. Both liquid and vapor phases are treated with Eulerian framework as a mixture containing minute cavitating bubbles. In addition vapor phase consists of various sizes of vapor bubbles, which are distributed to classes based on their mass. The bubble number-density for each class was solved by considering the change of the bubble-mass due to phase change as well as generation of new bubbles due to heterogeneous nucleation. In this method, the bubble-mass is treated as an independent variable, and the other dependent variables are solved in spatial coordinates and bubble-mass coordinate. Firstly, we employed this method to calculate bubble nucleation and growth in stationary super-heated liquid nitrogen, and bubble collapse in stationary sub-cooled one. In the case of bubble growth in super-heated liquid, bubble number-density of the smallest class based on its mass is increased due to the nucleation. These new bubbles grow with time, and the bubbles shift to larger class. Therefore void fraction of each class is increased due to the growth in the whole class. On the other hand, in the case of bubble collapse in sub-cooled liquid, the existing bubbles are contracted, and then they shift to smaller class. It finally becomes extinct at the smallest one. Secondly, the present method is applied to a cavitating flow around NACA00l5 foil. Liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen are employed as working fluids. Cavitation number, $\sigma$, is fixed at 0.15, inlet velocities are changed at 5, 10, 20 and 50m/s. Inlet temperatures are 90K in case of liquid nitrogen, and 90K and 1l0K in case of liquid oxygen. 110K of oxygen is corresponding to the 90K of nitrogen because of the same relative temperature to the critical one, $T_{r}$=$T/T_c^{+}$. Cavitating flow around the NACA0015 foils was properly analyzed by using bubble size distribution. Finally, the method is applied to a cavitating flow in an inducer of the LE-7A hydrogen turbo-pump. This inducer has 3 spiral foils. However, for simplicity, 2D calculation was carried out in an unrolled channel at 0.9R cross-section. The channel moves against the fluid at a peripheral velocity corresponding to the inducer revolutions. Total inlet pressure, $Pt_{in}$, is set at l00KPa, because cavitation is not generated at a design point, $Pt_{in}$=260KPa. The bubbles occur upstream of the foils and collapse between them. Cavitating flow in the inducer was successfully predicted by using the bubble size distribution.

The components in ultra super critical (USC) steam turbine, which is under development for high efficient power generation, are encountering harsher solid particle erosion by iron oxide scales than ones in the existing steam turbines. Therefore, the currently used boride coating will not be able to hold effective protection from particle erosion in USC system and should be replaced by new particle erosion resistant coatings. One of the best protective coatings developed for USC steam turbine parts was found to be vanadium-boride (V-boride) coating which has a hardness of about 3000 HV, much higher than that of boride, 1600~2000 HV. In order to evaluate particle erosion resistance of the various coatings such as V-boride, boride and Cr-carbide coatings at high temperature, particle erosion test equipments were designed and manufactured. In addition, erosion particle velocity was simulated using FLUENT software based on semi-implicity method for pressure linked equations revised (SIMPLER). Based on experimental results of this work, the vanadium-boride coating was found to be superior to others and to be a candidate coating to replace the boride coating.

A series of Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) experiments helps us to understand the single-particle (hydrogen atom) dynamics of a globular protein and its hydration water and strong coupling between them. We also performed Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations on a realistic model of the hydrated hen-egg Lysozyme powder having two proteins in the periodic box. We found the existence of a Fragile-to-Strong dynamic Crossover (FSC) phenomenon in hydration water around a protein occurring at TL=$225{\pm}5K$ by analyzing Intermediate Scattering Function (ISF). On lowering of the temperature toward FSC, the structure of hydration water makes a transition from predominantly the High Density Liquid (HDL) form, a more fluid state, to predominantly the Low Density Liquid (LDL) form, a less fluid state, derived from the existence of a liquid?liquid critical point at an elevated pressure. We showed experimentally and confirmed theoretically that this sudden switch in the mobility of the hydration water around a protein triggers the dynamic transition (so-called glass transition) of the protein, at a temperature TD=220 K. Mean Square Displacement (MSD) is the important factor to show that the FSC is the key to the strong coupling between a protein and its hydration water by suggesting TL${\fallingdotseq}$TD. MD simulations with TIP4P force field for water were performed to understand hydration level dependency of the FSC temperature. We added water molecules to increase hydration level of the protein hydration water, from 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 1.00 (1.00 is the bulk water). These confirm the existence of the FSC and the hydration level dependence of the FSC temperature: FSC temperature is decreased upon increasing hydration level. We compared the hydration water around Lysozyme, B-DNA and RNA. Similarity among those suggests that the FSC and this coupling be universal for globular proteins, biopolymers.

$CO_2$ 초임계 유체에서 열식법을 이용하여 폴리프로필렌과 켐펜을 혼합하여 다공성 폴리프로필렌 막을 제조했다. 폴리프로필렌 농도 10 wt%의 조건에서 제조된 폴리프로필렌 막의 공극률은 메탄올, 에탄올, n-부탄올에 따라 각각 78, 80, 73%였다. 폴리프로필렌의 농도가 증가할수록 인장강도는 높아졌으며 폴리프로필렌 농도가 10 wt% 일 때 인장강도는 $0.17kg_f/mm^2$였다. $CO_2$ 초임계 유체를 사용하여 켐펜을 추출한 결과 시간에 따라 추출속도가 증가하였으며 5분 경과 후 94% 제거되었다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 추출속도가 증가했으며 $45^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 99% 제거되었다. 그러나 그 이상의 높은 온도에서는 추출속도는 저하되었다. 150 bar의 압력까지는 압력이 증가함에 따라 켐펜의 추출속도는 증가하였으나, 그 이상의 압력 조건에서는 압력이 증가함에 따라 추출속도는 미소하게 감소했다. 추출속도는 $CO_2$ 초임계 유체의 켐펜에 대한 용해도 특성과 상관성이 있었다.

Due to the need of increasing thermal efficiency, supercritical pressure and temperature have been utilized in power plants. It is well known that 9Cr1Mo steel is suitable fer use in power plants operating at supercritical conditions. Therefore, to ensure the safety and the soundness of the power plant, creep characterization of the steel is important. In this study, the creep characterization of the gCr1Mo steel using small punch creep(SP-Creep) test has been described. The applied load and the central displacement of the specimen in SP-Creep test have been converted to bearing stress and strain of uc, respectively. The converted SP-Creep curves clearly showed the typical three-stage behavior of creep. The steady-state creep rate and the rupture time of the steel logarithmically changed with the bearing stress and satisfied the Power law relationship. Furthermore, the Larson-Miller parameter of the SP-Creep test agreed with that of the tensile creep test. From the comparison with low Cr-Mo steels, the creep characteristics of 9Cr1Mo steel proved to be superior. Thus, it can be confirmed that the 9Cr1Mo steel is suitable for supercritical power plant.

Gas foil thrust bearings (GFTBs) support axial loads in oil-free, high speed rotating machinery using air or gas as a lubricant. Due to the inherent low viscosity of the lubricant, GFTBs often have super-laminar flows in the film region at operating conditions with high Reynolds numbers. This paper develops a mathematical model of a GFTB with turbulent flows and validates the model predictions against those from the literature. The pressure distribution, film thickness distribution, load carrying capacity, and power loss are predicted for both laminar and turbulent flow models and compared with each other. Predictions for an air lubricant show that the GFTB has high Reynolds numbers at the leading edge where the film thickness is large and relatively low Reynolds numbers at the trailing edge. The predicted load capacity and power loss for the turbulent flow model show little difference from those for the laminar flow model even at the highest speed of 100 krpm, because the Reynolds numbers are smaller than the critical Reynolds number. On the other hand, refrigerant (R-134a) lubricant, which has a higher density than air, had significant differences due to high Reynolds numbers in the film region, in particular, near the leading and outer edges. The predicted load capacity and power loss for the turbulent flow model are 2.1 and 2.3 times larger, respectively, than those for the laminar flow model, thus implying that the turbulent flow greatly affects the performance of the GFTB.
