CPU의 발열량 증가는 서버를 통과하는 배출공기와 유입공기와의 상당한 온도차를 발생시키고 이로 인해 배출공기의 재순환 현상과 유입공기의 바이패스 현상이 발생한다. 이는 데이터센터 냉각시스템의 효율저하를 발생시킨다. 따라서 CRAC의 제어를 통해 유입공기와 배출공기를 분리하는 것이 데이터센터 냉각시스템의 중요한 목표이다. 본 연구에서는 CFD 해석 코드인 ICEPAK을 이용하여 데이터센터에 대한 수치해석을 진행하였다. 실내부로 유입되는 공기유량의 변화에 따른 CPU의 온도와 실 전체의 온도분포를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 CPU의 발열량에 따른 최적 유입유량을 선정하였다. CPU 발열량이 100, 120, 140 W인 경우 유입유량이 $0.15m^3/s$인 지점에서 발열제거와 온도분배가 가장 잘 이루어졌다. RTI 성능지표를 이용하여 해석결과를 검증하였고 RTI 값이 81인 경우 가장 안정적인 결과를 보였다.

Recently, the nanofluid which is stably dispersing or suspending of nanoparticles in the conventional heat transfer fluids (HTF) such as water and ethylene glycol has attracted significant interests as a solar thermal energy absorbing medium because they have excellent absorption and thermophysical properties compared to the typical HTF. In the present study, the efficiency of nanofluid-based flat-plate solar collector is analytically evaluated using the theoretical model of energy balance equation. The theoretical model considers the incoming solar radiation as a volumetric heat generation and the water-based single wall carbon nanohorn(SWCNH) nanofluid is used as a solar energy absorbing medium. Finally, the efficiency of nanofluid-based collector is calculated according to the volume fraction of SWCNH using the analytical solution.

This paper proposes the optimal shape of an LNG fuel tank with a lattice pressure vessel (LPV) design for a tugboat. The LPV is a Type C tank with a design philosophy of "design by analysis," which facilitates greater variability of shape compared with other traditional Type C tanks. Further, compared with conventional cylindrical fuel tanks, the LPV provides better volumetric efficiency. Considering the shape of a fuel tank room, a trapezoidal shape of the LPV is concluded as the most optimal design. This study performs two major analyses of the LPV: structural and heat transfer analyses. First, a design procedure of the LPV based on structural analyses is elaborated. The finite element method is used for the analyses. Furthermore, the results guarantee that the maximum stresses by applied loads do not exceed an allowable stress limitation. Second, the heat transfer analysis of the LPV is conducted. LNG boil-off gas generation is analyzed based on various insulation materials and the degree of acuum.

The high-speed bypass effect on the heat exchanger performance has been investigated numerically. The plate-fin type heat exchanger was modeled using two-dimensional porous approximation for the fin region. Governing equations of mass, momentum, and energy equations for compressible turbulent flow were solved using ideal-gas assumption for the air flow. Various bypass-channel height were considered for Mach numbers ranging 0.25-0.65. Due to the existence of the fin in the bypass channel, the main flow tends to turn into the core region of the channel, which results in the distorted velocity profile downstream of the fin region. The boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness, and the momentum thickness showed the variation of mass flow through the fin region. The mass flow variation along the fin region was also shown for various bypass heights and Mach numbers. The volumetric entropy generation was used to assess the loss mechanism inside the bypass duct and the fin region. Finally, the correlations of the friction factor and the Colburn j-factor are summarized.

For estimation of chain-matching phenomena between normal paraffin as a solvent and straight-chain fatty acid as an additive, the density measurement of n-dodecane, n-tetradecane and n-hexadecane were carried out at oil temperature 313K and pressure up to 1.3 GPa. Their solidification pressure were easily determined by the appearance of molecular crystal, abrupt volumetric contraction and generation of heat of solidification and showed minima under the matching condition. The bulk modulus K of molecular crystal was evaluated using phase diagram. The bulk modulus showed maxima under the each matching condition. The chain matching effect on the bulk modulus beyond the scope of the interfacial phenomena are confirmed.

Coil spring of automobile suspension system is very important to safety and dynamics of passenger car and requires a highly advanced quality control during manufacturing processes. Surface cracks on the coil spring rod produced by mechanical machining and heat treatment may cause a severe accident and large cost to the manufacturer. In order to detect surface cracks of the rod, guided wave technique is applied for a fast total volumetric inspection. Pochhammer equation is studied to investigate the dispersion characteristics of the guided wave in the spring rod and optimal wave modes sensitive to the surface crack are selected experimentally to design the experimental arrangement for the generation of guided wave. Rod samples with different size of artificial axial EDM notch on the surface ranging from 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1 mm are examined by guided wave and inspection results discussed.

A two-phase flow observed in a heat exchanger or nuclear power generation often has a profound effect on undesirable noise or flow characteristics. Void fraction, which refers to the ratio of gas (or liquid) to the total fluid, affects heat transfer coefficient, vibration and so forth. In other words, void fraction is one of most important parameters in two-phase flow since it contributes to comprehend the characteristics of two-phase flow. We developed a two-phase flow visualization system to measure cross-sectional and volumetric void fractions by using quick closing valves and image processing software. With this system, we could observe the plug, slug, and stratified flow patterns of two-phase flow and measure a myriad of void fractions. As a consequence of the experiment, we found that the estimated void fractions were largely coincident with the predictive values by Chisholm model.

핵연료소결체의 편심이 정상상태에서 핵연료봉 열적 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 지배방정식은 핵연료소결체와 피복관영역에 대해 2차원 원통좌표계 (r, $\theta$)로 각각 세우고 유한요소법으로 풀었다. 갭(gap)영역에서 방위각 의존적인 열전달계수를 사용하여 동심구조는 그대로 두는 반면 갭크기의 비대칭성을 고려하였다. 재료물성치는 온도의 함수로 사용되었으며 체적 열발생은 반경의 함수로 고려하였다. 핵연료 소결체의 편심으로 인해 피복관 외부 표면에서 최대국부열속은 증가하였고, 핵연료 소결체의 최대온도와 핵연료 평균온도는 감소하였다. 전자는 최소 DNBR계산시 불확실도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되며, 후자의 두현상은 핵연료 소결체의 용융 가능성과 사고시 핵연료 잠재에너지를 줄어들게 할 것으로 예상된다. 또한, 핵연료 소결체의 편심으로 인해 핵연료 소결체의 온도분포는 비대칭을 이루고 최대온도의 위치는 변동되었다.
