With the Euro-4 regulation coming into effect, the domestic car industry is forced to look for newer options to reduce NOX in the exhaust. EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Cooler is an effective method for the reduction of NOX form a diesel engine. High efficiency, low pressure loss and compactness are desirable features of an EGR Cooler. The cooling performance of EGR depends on the shape of tubes and the location of the entrance and exit. This paper reports the computational work conducted to estimate the performance of EGR cooler with three different cross section tubes and a triangular spiral tube. Three dimensional computation results show that the triangular tube is more effective than circular and rectangular tube. The most effective geometry is a triangular spiral tube with offset inlet and outlet locations.

Numerical design optimization of a fan-shaped hole for film-cooling has been carried out to improve film-cooling effectiveness by combining a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with the radial basis neural network method, a well known surrogate modeling technique for optimization. The injection angle of hole, lateral expansion angle of hole and ratio of length-to-diameter of the hole are chosen as design variables and spatially averaged film-cooling effectiveness is considered as an objective function which is to be maximized. Twenty training points are obtained by Latin Hypercube sampling for three design variables. Sequential quadratic programming is used to search for the optimal point from the constructed surrogate. The film-cooling effectiveness has been successfully improved by the optimization with increased value of all design variables as compared to the reference geometry.

This work aims to simulate three-dimensional heavy oil flow in a reservoir with heater-wells. Mass, momentum and energy balances, as well as correlations for rock and fluid properties, are used to obtain non-linear partial differential equations for the fluid pressure and temperature, and for the rock temperature. Heat transfer is simulated using a two-equation model that is more appropriate when fluid and rock have very different thermal properties, and we also perform comparisons between one- and two-equation models. The governing equations are discretized using the Finite Volume Method. For the numerical solution, we apply a linearization and an operator splitting. As a consequence, three algebraic subsystems of linearized equations are solved using the Conjugate Gradient Method. The results obtained show the suitability of the numerical method and the technical feasibility of heating the reservoir with static equipment.

본 연구에서는 크리깅 기법을 이용하여 엇갈린 핀휜이 부착된 회전하는 내부냉각유로의 형상 최적화를 수행하였다. 냉각유로 형상의 여러 매개변수 중 핀의 지름과 높이의 비, 핀의 지름과 핀과 핀 사이의 거리의 비를 최적설계를 위한 설계변수로 선택하였다. 열전달 관련 목적함수와 마찰손실 관련 목적함수를 가중계수를 이용하여 선형적으로 결합한 목적함수를 정의하였다. 크리깅 모델을 구축하기 위해 라틴하이퍼큐브 샘플링기법에 의해 생성된 20개 실험점에서 목적함수가 SST난류모델을 사용한 삼차원 레이놀즈평균 나비어-스톡스(RANS) 유동해석법에 의해 계산되었다. 크리깅 기법을 통하여 예측된 목적함수값은 RANS해석을 이용해 계산된 값과 매우 작은 오차 범위 내에서 일치하였으며, 최적설계를 통해 목적함수가 11% 감소하는 결과를 얻었다.

고분자 전해질 연료전지의 구성요소인 기체 확산층(Gas Diffusion Layer)은 반응물을 채널에서 MEA로 전달하며 동시에 생성물을 MEA에서 채널로 전달하는 역할을 한다. 기체 확산층의 기체 투과도가 클수록 기체 확산층을 통과하는 반응기체의 양이 증가하여 고분자전해질 연료전지 성능이 향상되며 물질전달과 함께 열전달이 이루어지기 때문에 생성열에 의한 MEA의 온도상승을 억제해준다. 본 연구에서는 기체 확산층의 기체투과도를 달리하여 전기화학 반응과 열 생성을 고려한 3차원 수치해석 모델을 통해 동일 반응면적을 가지는 직선형 채널과 곡사형 채널에 대해 열전달 및 물질전달 특성을 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과 직선형 채널의 경우 곡사형 채널에 비해 기체 확산층의 기체투과도에 따른 성능 변화가 크지 않았다. 이러한 이유는 직선형 채널에서 주된 물질전달은 확산에 의해 이뤄지기 때문이다. 곡사형 채널의 경우 기체투과도가 높을수록 대류에 의한 물질전달로 원활한 물질전달이 이뤄졌기 때문에 연료전지 성능이 증가 되었으며 원활한 물질전달이 열전달을 촉진하여 MEA의 온도를 낮추었다. 또한 곡사형 채널에서는 기체투과도가 작아질수록 확산에 의한 물질 및 열전달 특성을 보여주었다.

Design and Manufacturing processes of Ti-6Al-4V profiled ring-products were investigated with three-dimensional FEM simulation and experimental analyses. FEM simulation for the ring-rolling process was used to calculate the state variables such as strain, strain rate and temperature. In the simulation results of strain and temperature distributions for a plane ring rolling process, the strain level at the surface area is higher than that at the mid-plane, but the temperature level at the surface area is lower than that at mid-plane due to heat transfer between the workpiece and the work roll. These distributions showed a great influence on the evolution of microstructure in different positions. In order to induce the uniform deformation of the profile ring and reduce the applied load, the final blank was prepared by two-step processes. The mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy ring products made in this work were investigated with tensile and impact tests and analyzed with the evolution of microstructures during the ring rolling process.

In this work, thermal phenomena and temperature rise due to thermal source in electric switchboard were investigated using analytical measures. Electric switchboards are assemblies of panels on which are mounted switches, circuit breakers, high current busbars, meter, fuses and terminals essential to the operation of electric equipment. It is very difficult to predict the temperature rise in switchboard due to the existence of several heat sources. To overcome this situations, we focused on the eddy current distribution on the panel of switchboard caused by high current busbars as a fundamental basis. And thermal sources including busbar and switchgear have been considered. Furthermore, thermal transfer phenomena in switchboard was considered theoretically. Finally, three-dimensional thermal model for eddy current analysis has been adopted and FEM analysis was conducted. As a result, three-dimensional numerical analysis found to be applicable to the analysis of thermal phenomena in switchboard.

In this work, temperature rise and eddy current distribution on the enclosure and conductor of 3 pole gas insulated switchgear were investigated using analytical and experimental measures. The design of the diameters of the conductors and the enclosures of a meal clad gas insulated switchgear is primarily based on the insulation requirements. It is very difficult problem to predict the temperature rise of enclosed switchgear due to the complexity of the phenomena of heat transfer and existence of eddy current loss. To overcome this situations, we focused on the eddy current distribution on the enclosure of switchgear caused by high current 3 pole conductor as a fundamental basis. The experimental results about temperature distribution of 3 pole gas insulated switchgear were reported and measurements are compared with predictions of three-dimensional thermal model for eddy current analysis. As a result, three dimensional numerical analysis found to be in close relationship with experimental results and thermal model is efficient to predict the abnormal temperature rise in switchgear.

The building envelope is important specially for saving energy consumption of residential buildings. but Apartment houses in Korea commonly have inside insulation system which have constantly arisen thermal bridges, the risk of heat loss, as a necessity. This study aims to evaluate integrated insulation performance according to the different shapes of external walls, adjacent to windows. The thermal performance analysis was carried out by Equivalent U-value and using the three-dimensional heat transfer computer simulation (TRISCO-RADCON), under nine different cases of comparing among three each of different bases(current standard model, 30percent energy saving model and 60percent energy saving model). The heating and the cooling load were also compared between two cases (standard U-value and Equivalent U-value) of three each of different bases, using the Building energy simulation which is based on DOE-2.1 analysis. As results, it turns out that if the Equivalent U-value is considered on the envelope analysis, the heat flow loss will be increasing more than the standard U-value, and if heat insulation property of the residential building reinforced rather than current, the rate of influences on the thermal bridges would be extremely expanded. In addition, it is shown that annual heating loads of the apartment house with applied Equivalent U-value substantially increased by more than 15 percent compared to those with the existing U-value, but annual cooling loads were negligibly affected.

A study on the engineering design and numerical thermo-hydraulic analysis for KSTAR TF coil structure cooling system has been conducted. The numerical analyses have been done to verify the engineering design of cooling using the commercial code, FLUENT and in-house code for calculating helium properties which varies with cooling tube's heat transfer. Through the engineering design process based on the steady heat balance concepts, the circular stainless steel tube with inner diameter of 4 mm for TF coil has been selected as cooling tube. From normal operation mode analysis results, total 28 cooling tubes were finally chosen. Also, three dimensional cool down analysis for TF coil with designed cooling tube was satisfied with next three design criteria. First is cooling work termination within a month, second is maximum temperature difference within 50 K in TF coil structure and third is exit helium pressure above 2 bar. Consequently, these cool down scenario results can afford to adopt as operating scenario data when KSTAR facilities operate.
