  • Recently, an air-lift bio-reactor operated by micro bubbles has been utilized to product hydrogen fuel. To enhance the performance, characteristics of hydrodynamics inside the bio-reactor were analyzed using a numerical simulation for two-phase flow. An Eulerian model was employed for both of liquid and gas phases. The standard k-ε model was used for turbulence induced by micro bubbles. A Population Balance Model was employed to consider size distribution of bubbles. A hollow cylinder was introduced at the center of the reactor to reduce a dead area which disturbs circulation of CO bubbles. An appropriate diameter of the draft tube and hollow cylinder were optimized for better performance of the bio-reactor. The optimum model could be obtained when the cross-sectional area ratio of the hollow cylinder to the reactor, and the width ratio of the riser to the downcomer approached 0.4 and 3.5, respectively. Consequently, it is expected that the optimum model could enhance the performance of the bio-reactor with the homogeneous distribution and higher density of CO, and more effective mixing.

  • A study of estuarine flows during a neap tide was performed using 13-hour roving acoustic Doppler current profiles (ADCP) and conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles in the Altamaha River estuary, Georgia, U.S.A. The least-squared harmonic analysis method was used to fit the tidal ($M_2$) component and separate the flow into two components: the tidal and residual ($M_2$-removed) flows. We applied this method to depth-averaged data. Results show that the $M_2$ component demonstrates over 95% of the variability of observation data. As the flow was dominated by the $M_2$ tidal component in a narrow channel, the tidal ellipse distribution was essentially a back-and-forth motion. The amplitude of $M_2$ velocity component increased slightly from the river mouth (0.45 m/sec) to land (0.6 m/sec) and the phase showed fairly constant values in the center of the channel and rapidly decreasing values near the northern and southern shoaling areas. The residual flow and transport calculated from depth-averaged flow shows temporal variability over the tidal time scale. Strong landward flows appeared during slack waters which may be attributed to increased baroclinic forcing when turbulent mixing decreases.

  • This study treated self-compacting high Performance concrete as two Phase materials of Paste and aggregates and examined the effect of powder and aggregates on self-compacting high performance, since fluidity and segregation resistance of fresh concrete are changed mainly by paste. To improve the fluidity and self-compactibility of concrete, optimum powder ratio of self-compacting high performance concrete using fly ash and blast-furnace slag as powders were calculated. This study was also designed to provide basic materials for suitable design of mix proportion by evaluating fluidity and compactibility by various volume ratios of fine aggregates, paste, and aggregates. As a result, the more fly ash was replaced, the more confined water ratio was reduced because of higher fluidity. The smallest confined water ratio was determined when 15% blast-furnace slag was replaced. The lowest confined water ratio was acquired when 20% fly ash and 15% blast-furnace slag were replaced together. The optimum fine aggregates ratio with the best compactibility was the fine aggregate ratio with the lowest percentage of void in mixing coarse aggregate and fine aggregate In mixing the high performance concrete. Self-compacting high performance concrete with desirable compactibility required more than minimum of unit volume weight. If the unit volume weight used was less than the minimum, concrete had seriously reduced compactibility.

  • 지정폐기물인 EAF(Electric Arc Furnace) Dust는 현재 대부분이 매립 등 부적절하게 처리되고 있어 지하수 오염 등의 환경 파괴를 일으킬 위험이 있다. EAF Dust의 자원화를 위하여 EAF Dust/점토 조성으로 세라믹 다공체의 제조 가능성을 연구하였다. 출발 원료들의 혼합은 습식 공정으로 행하였으며, 소결 방법은 급속 소결과 일반 소결을 각각 적용하였다. 소결된 시편의 비중, 기공 및 미세구조를 관찰한 결과. 시편내의 발포현상은 탄소(C)의 양과 액상 생성의 유무에 의해 결정됨이 밝혀졌다. 발포를 용이하게 발생시켜 다공체의 경량골재를 얻기 위해서는 소결 시 급열처리하는 것이 유리하였다.

  • A sub-channel solver, named ${\underline{S}}teady$ and ${\underline{T}}ransient$ ${\underline{A}}nalyzer$ for ${\underline{R}}eactor$ ${\underline{T}}hermal$ hydraulics (START), has been developed using the homogenous model for two-phase conditions of light water reactors. The code is developed as a fast and accurate TH-solver for coupled and multi-physics calculations. START has been validated against the NUPEC PWR Sub-channel and Bundle Test (PSBT) database. Tests like single-channel quality and void-fraction for steady state, outlet fluid temperature for steady state, rod-bundle quality and void-fraction for both steady state and transient conditions have been analyzed and compared with experimental values. Results reveal a good accuracy of solution for both steady state and transient scenarios. Axially different values for turbulent mixing coefficient are used based on different grid-spacer types. This provides better results as compared to using a single value of turbulent mixing coefficient. Code-to-code evaluation of PSBT results by the START code compares well with other industrial codes. The START code has been parallelized with the OpenMP algorithm and its numerical performance is evaluated with a large whole PWR core. Scaling study of START shows a good parallel performance.

  • Blends of two thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers, HX2000 and Vectra A950, were prepared by melt blending. Effects of transesterification on these blends are investigated by comparing properties of the blends with and without the addition of an inhibitor, in terms of blend miscibility and rheology. Both the uninhibited and inhibited blends are found to be largely immiscible with very limited miscibility in HX2000-rich phase. No strong evidence indicates the occurrence of transesterification in the blends in the solid state. Dynamic rheological behaviour, such as shear storage modulus (G') and shear loss modulus (G") as a function of frequency, of the blends are interpreted by a three-zone model. HX2000 shows terminal-zone and plateau-zone behaviour, whilst Vectra A950 shows plateau-zone and transition-zone behaviour. The un- inhibited blends show plateau-zone behaviour up to 50% Vectra A950 content and the inhibited blends show plateau-zone behaviour up to 60% Vectra A950 content. Compositional dependence of the complex viscosities of the uninhibited and inhibited blends displayed positive deviations from additivity, which is a characteristic feature for the immiscible thermoplastic blends. When under steady shear, both the uninhibited and inhibited blends show shear thinning behaviour and their viscosities decrease monotonically with the addition of Vectra A950. Compositional dependence of the steady shear viscosities of the two sets of blends displayed negative deviations from additivity and the uninhibited blends were more viscous than the inhibited blends for the full composition range. Although limited agreement with the Cox-Merz rule is found for the inhibited blends, these two sets of blends, in general, do not follow the rule due to their liquid crystalline order and two-phase morphology. Despite being immiscible blends, transesterification, such as polymerization, in the blends might occur during the rheological characterization, supported by the facts that uninhibited blends show HX2000-dominant behaviour at lower Vectra A950 content and are more viscous than the inhibited blends. The addition of transesterification inhibitor in such blends is advised if only physical mixing is desired.ired.

  • Aerodynamic shape design of a partial admission turbine using CFD has been performed. Two step approaches are adopted in this study. Firstly, two-dimensional blade shape is optimized using CFD and genetic algorithm. Initially, the turbine cascade shape is represented by four design parameters. By controlling the design parameters as variables, the non-gradient search is analyzed for obtaining the maximum efficiency. The final two-dimensional blade proved to have a more blade power than the initial blade. Secondly, the three-dimensional CFD analysis including the nozzle, rotor and stator has been conducted. To avoid a heavy computational load due to an unsteady calculation, the frozen rotor method is implemented in steady calculation. The frozen rotor method can detect a variation of the flow-field dependent upon the blade's circumferential position relative to the nozzle. It gives a better idea of wake loss mechanism starting from the lip of the nozzle than the mixing plane concept. Finally, the combination of two and three dimensional design method of the partial admission turbine in this study has proven to be a robust tool in development phase.

  • 두 가지의 서로 다른 난류 변수화를 삼차원적이고 시간의존적인 연안해역의 모델 실험으로 수행하였다. 난류 변수화 중의 하나는 일정한 와동복합화 한 것, C1이고 다 른 하나는 층화 의존적인 와동혼합화, C2이다. C2를 이용한 유체흐름은 강한 경압적 흐름이며 담수와 염수의 수직적인 혼합을 제한하고 있다. 하구언으로부터 방출되는 유 출류는 C2의 경우가 C1의 경우보다 훨씬 더 관성적이며 강한 플륨(plume) 전선을 형성 한다. C에서는 강한 유출류로 인하여 초림계적인 유체흐름의 상태, 즉 표층류의 유출 소도가 경압적 위상속도를 능가하는 상황이 하구언의 외해쪽에 존재할 수 있다. 담수 영역에서 의 유체의 조율과정은 C1의 경우와 C2의 경우가 상당이 바른 바, C에서 의 유체의 흐름은 강한 경압적인 특성을 보여준다.

  • 교반 탱크(stirred tank)는 회전하는 임펠러(impeller)를 이용하여 단상 또는 다상의 유체를 지속적으로 유동시키는 장치로 여러 산업분야에 활용되고 있다. 우수한 성능의 교반기를 설계하기 위해서는 교반 성능에 영향을 미치는 다양한 내부유동특성의 정량적 데이터의 확보가 반드시 필요하지만, 복잡한 구조의 내부유동에 관한 정량적 해석은 현재까지 어려운 문제로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전산유체 해석을 통해 교반 탱크에 적합한 기법을 제안하기 위해 Flunet 6.3의 두 가지 모델을 사용하였다. mixture model을 이용하여 교반 탱크 혼합을 해석하였으며, standard, k-${\varepsilon}$ model을 이용하여 교반 탱크 내의 유동을 해석하였다. 해석 기법으로는 다중 좌표계(Multiple Reference Frame)와 이동 격자(Sliding Mesh) 기법을 이용하였다. 전산유체해석 결과를 가시화 실험 결과와 비교하여 교반 탱크의 내부 유동 및 혼합 특성을 파악하고, 교반 탱크 내부 유동 해석 시 적절한 해석기법 선정의 기초자료를 제시하였다.
