Heating channel layout design and evaluation technology for SMC molding system was investigated in this work. Traditional rules of cooling channel design in injection molding were applied to the present work. Finite element thermal analysis with $ANSYS^{TM}$ was performed to evaluate the temperature distribution of SHC mold surface. SMC mold was manufactured to evaluate the effect of a proposed heating channel layout system on the temperature distribution of SMC mold surface and infrared camera was applied to a measurement of temperature distribution. It was shown that infrared camera application was possible in a measurement of temperature distribution on SHC mold surface.

본 연구에서는 가스터빈 블레이드의 필름 냉각에서 45도 리브가 있는 냉각채널의 필름 홀 위치가 블레이드의 표면냉각 성능에 미치는 영향을 전산유체해석 기법을 통하여 분석하였다. 또한 냉각채널의 리브 유무의 영향을 동일 분사율에 대해서 고찰하였다. 수치해석 도메인은 3차원으로 구성하였고 상용코드(Fluent ver. 17.0)를 사용하여 정상상태 조건 하에서 수치해석을 진행하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 블레이드 표면에서의 냉각효율, 유속, 유선, 압력 계수를 비교 분석하였고 홀 위치의 변화가 리브 구조에 의해 유발되는 이차 유동의 토출에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 리브가 설치되어 있는 경우 냉각채널의 내부유동은 상부에서 반시계 방향 및 하부에서 시계 방향의 와류쌍을 형성하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 리브가 있는 채널의 경우 리브에 의하여 발생한 와류유동이 홀 출구 부근에서 더 높은 압력 차이를 유발하여 리브가 없는 경우보다 최소 12% 이상의 높은 냉각 효율을 나타냈다. 또한 리브가 있는 채널 중에서 홀이 좌측에 위치한 경우(Rib-Left) 리브에 의하여 발생한 이차 유동이 홀 부근의 벽면에 부딪혀 홀 경사각 방향으로의 유동이 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. 블레이드 표면으로 토출된 냉각기체가 주 유동 경계층 내부에서 머무는 영역이 다른 케이스에 비하여 넓기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 또한 이 경우 홀 출구 부근에서 가장 큰 압력 계수 차이를 나타내었고 이로 인하여 냉각기체의 토출이 촉진되어 냉각효율이 다소 증가하였다.

In Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU)-type nuclear power plants, the reactor is composed of 380 fuel channels and refueling is performed on one or two channels per day. At the time of refueling, the fluid force of the cooling water inside the channel is exploited. New fuel added upstream of the fuel channel is moved downstream by the fluid force of the cooling water, and the used fuel is pushed out. Through this process, refueling is completed. Among the 380 fuel channels, outer rows 1 and 2 (called the FARE channel) make the process of using only the internal fluid force impossible because of the low flow rate of the channel cooling water. Therefore, a Flow Assist Ram Extension (FARE) tool, a refueling aid, is used to refuel these channels in order to compensate for the insufficient fluid force. The FARE tool causes flow resistance, thus allowing the fuel to be moved down with the flow of cooling water. Although the existing FARE tool can perform refueling in Korean plants, the coolant flow rate is reduced to below 80% of the normal flow for some time during refueling. A Flow rate below 80% of the normal flow cause low flow rate alarm signal in the plant operation. A flow rate below 80% of the normal flow may cause difficulties in the plant operation because of the increase in the coolant temperature of the channel. A new and improved FARE tool is needed to address the limitations of the existing FARE tool. In this study, we identified the cause of the low flow phenomena of the existing FARE tool. A new and improved FARE tool has been designed and manufactured. The improved FARE tool has been tested many times using laboratory test apparatus and was redesigned until satisfactory results were obtained. In order to confirm the performance of the improved FARE tool in a real plant, the final design FARE tool was tested at Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2. The test was carried out successfully and the low flow rate alarm signal was eliminated during refueling. Several additional improved FARE tools have been manufactured. These improved FARE tools are currently being used for Korean CANDU plant refueling.

In this paper, a parametric study on ribs which are installed in an equilateral triangular internal cooling channel is presented. The numerical analysis of the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics is performed using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport turbulence model. The numerical results are obtained at Reynolds number, 20,000. The parametric study is performed for the parameters, the angle of a rib, rib pitch-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, rib width-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, and rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio. The computational results are validated with the experimental data for area-averaged Nusselt number.

The injection molding process is suitable for manufacturing complicated plastic products. As the customer request higher quality products increase, realization of the precise dimensional and shape controls is getting more important. For this purpose it is important to obtain uniform cooling procedure over the whole surface of the high temperature molded plastic. Failure to this may lead to different shrinkage speed, internal stresses and unwanted shape deformations. It is necessary to distribute coolant flow rates to the main channel and to the sub-channels properly to insure uniform cooling process when there are parallel cooling channels. In this study, three-dimensional turbulent flow simulations for representative parallel cooling channels were performed. To insure the intended flow rate to each sub-channels, various shape designs for the channel system were investigated. The results show that as the Reynolds number increases the effect of shape design is more profound. Through the proper flow distribution, uniform cooling effects would be expected.

하이브리드 전기자동차(HEV)용 인버터의 스위칭 소자에서 발생하는 열을 효율적으로 냉각시키기 위한 수냉식구조를 제안한다. 기존의 볼트형 냉각구조는 강한 수압에서 누수현상이 발생할 수 있으므로 본 논문에서는 이를 방지하기 위해 방열판 내에 파이프 형태의 구조를 적용하였다. 발열원을 기준으로 수로의 이격거리 변화와 여러 형태의 수로에 대해 방열현상을 시뮬레이션으로 해석하고, 방열효과가 우수한 2가지 배관구조 모델을 기준으로 방열효과를 비교 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 토대로 2가지 배관구조를 적용한 HEV용 30kW급 인버터를 제작하여 방열효과를 검증하였다.

This paper reports the fluid flow and heat transfer around a module cooled by forced air flow generated by a piezoelectric(PZT) cooling fan. The fluids are locally accelerated by a flexible PZT fan which deflects inside a fluid transport system of comparatively simple structure mounted on a PCB in a parallel-plate channel(450${\times}$80${\times}$700㎣). Input voltages of 20-100V and a resonance frequency of 23㎐ were used to vibrate the cooling fan. Input power to the module was 4W. The fluid flow around the module was visualized by using PIV system. The temperature distributions around a heated module were visualized by using liquid crystal film(LCF). The cooling effect using a PZT fan was independent of the vent area ratios at the channel inlet and was similar to the forced convection cooling. We found that the flow type was Y-shape and the cooling effect was increased by the wake generated by a piezoelectric cooling fan.

The improvement in the battery performance and life using a battery thermal management system directly affects the improvement in the performance, life, and energy efficiency of electric vehicles. Therefore, this study numerically analyzed the heat exchange processes between the coolant inside the cooling plate channel and the heat generated by the battery. The cooling performance was analyzed based on the average temperature, temperature uniformity, and the maximum and minimum temperature differences of the battery. A performance difference existed depending on the coolant inlet temperature but showed the same tendency of cooling performance according to the shape of each plate's channel. Type 1 showed the best results in terms of battery temperature uniformity, which is the most important measure of battery performance; Type 2 showed the best results in terms of the average temperature of the battery; and Type 3 showed the best results in terms of the maximum and minimum temperature differences of the battery compared with that of the other cooling plates.

The desiccant rotor is the most essential component of desiccant cooling system, but one of its drawbacks to spread out is rotor size. To reduce the size of rotor the analysis of rotor performance is crucial. Systematic examination on the effect of desiccant and channel geometries has been conducted based on the numerical program previously developed. Considered parameters related to channel geometries are channel shape and cross section area of channel, and parameters related to desiccant are mass fraction, heat capacity, density, maximum water uptake and separation factor of isotherm. Considerable reduction of rotor size is expected by adjusting the parameters.
