Even though the control device of the heating system works well, insufficient water flow rates can degrade control performance and thermal comfort. The water flow rate should be adjusted appropriately to cope with the heating load of each zone. In order to solve these problems, a new balancing concept 'dynamic balancing' was proposed where a balancing valve opening can be automatically modulated according to the heating condition of the room. This study analyzed the effects of dynamic balancing upon indoor thermal environment and energy consumption in a radiant floor heating system through field measurement. Under part-load conditions, the use of a dynamic balancing is a more effective method to reduce energy consumption and to prevent a cavitation. Dynamic balancing is able to help boost the temperature of a room in the start-up period.

온배수의 수중 방류 시 강한 방류 모멘텀 플럭스와 부력 플럭스에 의해 수중제트 인근에는 부력제트가 지배적인 근역이 형성되며, 이러한 근역을 해석하는 도구로써 비정수압 RANS 방정식을 적용한 전산유체역학(CFD) 모델을 이용하여 근역에 대한 적용성을 검토해 보았다. 과거 연구된 바 있는 원형 부력제트 수리실험과 유사한 조건으로 모델을 구성하고 정류시의 수평 부력 제트 경우와 가로흐름시 수직 부력 제트 경우에 대해 수치 실험을 수행하였다. CFD 수치실험의 결과는 수리실험 및 해석해 모델(CorJET)의 결과와 무차원화한 중심 궤적 및 희석율에 대해 비교 검증하였는데, 실제 수리실험의 결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. CFD 모델은 현재 근역 해석해 모델과 광역 준3차원 해수유동 모델이 가지고 있는 한계를 모두 보완할 수 있어 수중방류 온배수 영향해석에 적합한 모델이며, 본 연구를 통해 근역해석의 적합성을 확인하였으므로 향후 계산효율이 확보된다면 수중방류 온배수의 이동 및 확산 해석 도구로써 널리 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 micro-gap 판형 열교환기 내부의 열유동 특성에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 특히 유량 조건에 따라 열교환기의 주 채널로부터 각 micro-gap 으로의 유동분배에 대한 유동관성의 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 열교환기 주 채널의 유동을 레이놀즈 수 100 부터 10000 까지 변화시키며 그에 따른 각 micro-gap 으로의 유동분배와 온도분포의 불균일 정도를 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과 유동분배는 유동관성에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 관성 효과를 감소시킬 수 있는 헤더 설계를 통해 유동분배 불균일 정도를 줄일 수 있었다. 또한 micro-gap 을 통과한 유체의 온도분포의 불균일 정도는 주유량이 증가함에 따라 증가 후 감소 추세를 나타냈다.

Large eddy simulation of vortexing flow of molten steel in the continuous casting mold with and without DC magnetic field was conducted. The influence of the position of magnetic field to the residence time and depth of the vortex was analyzed. The mechanism of the influence of magnetic field to the vortexing flow was found. The computational results show that the vortexing flow is the result of shearing of the two un-symmetric surface flows from the mold narrow faces when they meet adjacent to the SEN; the un-symmetric flow for turbulent vortex is caused by turbulent energy of the fluid and that for biased vortex is caused by biased flow and the turbulent energy of fluid; with the moving of the magnetic field from the centerline of the outlet of the SEN to the free surface, the surface velocity is decreased gradually and the depth of the turbulent vortex and the biased vortex is decreased, the residence time is increased with the magnetic field moves from DL=120mm to DL=60mm and then decreased; the turbulent vortex and the biased vortex can be eliminated when the magnetic field is located at the free surface.

The calculation of the wind field for resource assessment is done by using CFD Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes simulations performed with the commercial software WindSim. A new interface has been created to use mesoscale simulation data from a meteorological model as driving data for the simulations. This method makes it necessary to take into account thermal effects on the wind field to exploit the full potential of this method. The procedure for considering thermal effects in CFD wind field simulations as well as the impact of thermal effects on the wind field simulations is presented. Simulations for non-neutral atmospheric conditions with the developed method are consistent with expected behavior and show an improvement of simulation results compared with observations.

The numerical analysis by using CFX 11.0 commercial code was done for prediction of fluid flow and thermal field in the vertical heat exchanger. The present experimental studies were also conducted to investigate the effects of circulating solid particles on the fluid flow and temperatures in the fluidized bed vertical shell and tube type heat exchanger with counterflow, at which the solid particles of glasses (3 $mm{\Phi}$) were used in the fluidized bed with a smooth tube. The effect of circulation on the distance(L) of tube inlet and baffle plate was also examined. The present experimental and numerical results showed that the particles in the distance (Ds) of 15 mm showed a more efficient circulation without stacked the space and the LMTD(Log Mean Temperature Difference) in the fluidized bed type was much lower than that in the typical type shell and tube heat exchanger.

The thermal comfort of an indoor swimming pool is different from that of general indoor space because of the characteristics of large space and the wear conditions of swimmers. Dew condensation by humid air not only makes mold on the floor, wall and roof but also decreases the durability of buildings by penetrating into their structures. In this study, the characteristics of the flow field, the temperature field and the humidity distribution in an indoor swimming pool have been examined by the numerical method to estimate the level of thermal comfort and the generation rate of dew condensation. The results showed that the dew condensation regions were spread widely at the eastern parts of the swimming pool due to the insufficient air flow rate with low velocity and temperature. To prevent the generation of dew condensation in a region, a sufficient warm air flow rate should be supplied to make an air mixing. The values of PMV at horizontal plane of 1.5 m height have the range of -1.0∼1.2, which means the suitable level for swimmers.

The objective of this work is to investigate the turbulent reacting flow in a three dimensional combustor with emphasis on thermal NO emission through a numerical simulation. Flow field is analyzed using the SIMPLE method which is known as stable as well as accurate in the combustion modeling, and the finite volume method is adopted in solving the radiative transfer equation. In this work, the thermal characteristics and NO emission in a three dimensional combustor by changing parameters such as equivalence ratio and inlet swirl angle have investigated. As the equivalence ratio increases, which means that more fuel is supplied due to a larger inlet fuel velocity, the flame temperature increases and the location of maximum temperature and thermal NO has moved towards downstream. In the mean while, the existence of inlet swirl velocity makes the fuel and combustion air more completely mixed and burnt in short distance. Therefore, the locations of the maximum reaction rate, temperature and thermal NO were shifted to forward direction compared with the case of no swirl.

본 연구의 목적은 고정자장에서 이중원관내 인가자장의 방향 변화에 따른 자성유체의 열유동 특성에 관하여 실험적으로 연구하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 이중원관 내부원관은 $30^{\circ}C$로 유지하고 외부원관은 $25^{\circ}C$로 유지하였으며, 자성유체가 담겨져 있는 중앙관에 고정자장을 상하 좌우의 4방향으로 인가하였다. 인가자장은 영구자석 4개를 이용하여 이중원관 전체로 균일하게 인가하였고, 이중원관내 자성유체는 인가자장의 방향에 따라 열유동 특성이 변화였다. 결과적으로 인가자장을 상측면에서 인가하였을 경우 중력의 영향이 감소하는 방향으로 열확산이 이루어졌으며, 반대로 인가자장을 하측면에서 인가하였을 경우 외견상 중력에 자기 체적력이 추가되어 열확산이 촉진됨을 알 수 있다.

In order to develop better method to enhance and control the flow and heat transfer inside the radiator of electronic device, the synergistic effect of MHD nanofluids and porous medium on the flow and heat transfer in rectangular opened channel is simulated using Lattice Boltzmann method. Three nanofluids of CuO-water, Al₂O₃-water and Fe₃O₄-water are studied to analyze the influence of the type of nanofluid on the synergistic effect. The simulation results show that the porous medium can increase the flow velocity in fluid zone adjacent to the porous medium and enhance the heat transfer on the surface of the channel. Under no magnetic field, when the porosity of porous medium is 0.8, the Nusselt number is 4.46% higher than when the porosity is 0.9. Al₂O₃-water has the best heat transfer effect among the three nanofluids. At Ф=0.06, Ha=100, θ=90°, ε=0.9, Nu of Al₂O₃-water is 6.51% larger than that of CuO-water and 5.05% larger than that of Fe₃O₄-water. Magnetic field enhances seepage in porous medium and inhibits heat transfer in the bottom wall. When Ha=30 and 60, the inhibiting effect is the most significant as the magnetic field angle is 90°. And when Ha=100, the inhibiting effect is the most significant as the magnetic field angle is 120°.
