Bottom ash from a coal-fired power plant is usually landfilled to a nearby site, which causes a growing environmental concern and increased operating costs. One way of recycling the bottom ash is to produce light-weight aggregate (LWA) using a rotary kiln. This study investigated the temperature profiles of raw LWA particles in a rotary kiln to identify the range of operating conditions appropriate for ideal bloating. For this purpose, a new simulation method was developed to integrate a 1-dimensional model for the bed of LWA particles and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the fuel combustion and gas flow. The temperature of LWA particles was found very sensitive to the changes in the air preheating temperature and excess air ratio. Therefore, an accurate control of the operation parameters was essential to achieve the bloating of LWA particles without excessive sintering or melting.

Recent advances in energetic materials modeling and high-resolution hydrocode simulation enable enhanced computational analysis of bio-medical treatments that utilize high-pressure shock waves. Of particular interest is in designing devices that use such technology in medical treatments. For example, the generated micro shock waves with peak pressure on orders of 10 GPa can be used for treatments such as kidney stone removal, transdermal micro-particle delivery, and cancer cell removal. In this work, we present a new computational methodology for applying the high explosive dynamics to bio-medical treatments by making use of high pressure shock physics and multi-material wave interactions. The preliminary calculations conducted by the in-house code, GIBBS2D, captures various features that are observed from the actual experiments under the similar test conditions. We expect to gain novel insights in applying explosive shock wave physics to the bio-medical science involving drug injection. Our forthcoming papers will illustrate the quantitative comparison of the modeled results against the experimental data.

Many researches have been investigating small direct-injection diesel engines using the spray impacting on walls. Those systems have one or more raised pips to break-up the fuel and spread it widely toward a desired direction in a combustion chamber. In this study, the sizes and heights of the pips are determined by using a computational fluid dynamics code employing non-orthogonal grid systems. In order to find out the suitable pip-shape to a small chamber, the spray behaviors, occupied spary volumes and averaged droplets sizes are calculated with the variation of shape of the pip, such as, size and heights and inclined degree. The desired shape of the impinging land is proposed for the design of combustion system in small diesel engines.

본 연구에서는 4단 화격자로 구성된 목재 펠릿 보일러의 연소실에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 목재 펠릿의 화염은 화격자에서 연소실 출구까지 신장되는 데 이 현상이 균질 반응에 기반한 수치해석 기법으로 잘 예측되었다. 수치해석으로 구한 유동장을 보면 연소실 상류에서 출구쪽으로 강한 재순환 유동이 형성되는데 이 유동을 따라 화염이 신장된다. 이와 같은 유동 및 연소 형태는 부분부하 조건에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였을 때도 유지되었다. 따라서 연소실의 체적을 변경하는 것보다 연소실의 구조를 변경하는 것이 연소 효율을 개선하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 연소 효율을 높이기 위하여 연소실 출구 위치 변경하거나 화격자 개수를 늘이는 방안 또는 격벽과 같은 내부 구조물을 설치하는 방안을 제안하였다.

현재 가연성 가스의 누출시 누출된 가스의 확산과 VCE에 의한 과압을 예측하기 위해 여러 모델들이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 이 모델들은 누출설비의 지형과 장애물 그리고 건물들의 영향에 대해서는 충분히 고려하지 않은 단순한 접근방법을 이용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 누출된 물질의 연소형태, 설비의 Geometry, 난류, 장애물, 바람의 영향 등 여러 변수를 고려하여 보다 정확하게 분석할 수 있는 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) Model을 검토함으로서 누출된 가스의 확산과정과 분포형태 그리고 폭발시 화염과 과압의 결과를 2D와 3D의 가상공간에서 제시하였다. 이러한 CFD 분석결과는 폭발에 대한 리스크 분석과 리스크 기반의 설계에 있어 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

Accumulation of coal ash at the boiler wall reduces combustion and fuel efficiency. The design of a wall blower is important to effectively remove coal ash. We present numerical results for the removal of coal ash from boiler walls of domestic coal-fired power plants, associated with the computational fluid dynamics for the flow from spray nozzle to boiler wall. The numerical model simulates an erosion process in which the multiphase fluid comprising saturated vapor and fluid water is sprayed from the nozzle, and the water particles impact the boiler wall. We adopt the Finnie erosion model for water particles. We obtain the erosion rate density as a function of nozzle angle and its injection angle. As excessive coal ash removal usually induces damage to the boiler wall, the removal operation typically focuses on a large area with uniform depth rather than the maximum removal of coal ash at a specific location. In order to estimate the removal performance of the wall blower nozzle considering several functionality and reliability factors, we evaluate the optimal injection and nozzle angles with respect to the biggest cumulative and highest erosion rates, as well as the widest range and lowest standard deviation of the erosion rate distribution.

SiC composite materials are usually used to very high temperature condition such as thermal protection system materials at space vehicles, combustion chambers or engine nozzles because they have high specific strength and good thermal properties at high temperature. One of the most widely used fabrication methods of SiC composites is the chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process. During the process, chemical gases including Si are introduced into porous preform which is made by carbon fibers for infiltration. Since the processes take a very long time, it is important to reduce the process time in designing the reactors and processes. In this study, both the gas flow and heat transfer in the reactors during the processes are analyzed using a computational fluid dynamics method in order to design reactors and processes for uniform, high quality SiC composites. Effects of flow rate and heater temperature as process parameters to the infiltration process were examined.

Design of a reformer consisting of combustion chamber and reforming chamber was investigated for a 1 kW and a 5 kW polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), respectively, using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). First, the 1kW reformer was considered to obtain the reliability of the numerical study. It was modeled, calculated and compared with experimental data. Second, the 5kW reformer was considered for a geometric study. Three tip sizes (35, 40, and 45 mm) and five aspect ratios was selected. It was found that the optimum was at tip sizes of 40 and 45 mm, at aspect ratios of -10% and -20% of the standard length.

A general procedure of obtaining reliable one-step kinetics model for hydrocarbon mixture from the fully detailed chemistry is described iin this study. One-step theoretical formulation of the induction parameter model IPM uses a theoretical reconstruction of the induction time database obtained from a detailed kinetics library. Non-dimensional induction time calculations is compared with that of detailed kinetics. The IPM was latter implemented to fluid dynamics code and applied for the numerical simulation of detonation wave propagation. The numerical results including the numerical smoked-foil record show the all the details of the detonation wave propagation characteristics at the cost around 1/100 of the detailed kinetics calculation.

Three-dimensional numerical study was carried out for the investigation of the detonation wave structures propagating in tubes. Fluid dynamics equations and conservation equation of reaction progress variable were analyzed by a MUSCL-type TVD scheme and four stage Runge-Kutta time integration. Chemical reaction was modeled by using a simplified one-step irreversible kinetics model. The variable gas properties between unburned and burned states were considered by using variable specific heat ratio formulation. The unsteady computational results in three-dimension show the detailed mechanisms of rectangular and diagonal mode of detonation wave instabilities resulting same cell length but different cell width in smoked-foil record. The results for the small reaction constant shows the spinning mode of three-dimensional detonation wave dynamics, which was rarely observed in the previous numerical simulation of the detonation waves.
