Annular flow refers to a special type of two-phase flow pattern in which liquid flows as a thin film at the periphery of a pipe, tube, or conduit, and gas with relatively high velocity flows at the center of the flow section. This gas also includes dispersed liquid droplets. The liquid film flow rate continuously changes inside the tube due to two processes-entrainment and deposition. To determine the liquid holdup, pressure drop, the onset of dryout, and heat transfer characteristics in annular flow, it is important to have proper knowledge of flow characteristics. Especially a better understanding of entrainment fraction is important for the heat transfer and safe operation of two-phase flow systems operating in an annular two-phase flow regime. Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop a computational model for the simulation of the annular two-phase flow regime and assess the various existing models for the entrainment rate. In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in ANSYS FLUENT has been applied to determine annular flow characteristics such as liquid film thickness, film velocity, entrainment rate, deposition rate, and entrainment fraction for various gas-liquid flow conditions in a vertical upward tube. The gas core with droplets was simulated using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) which is based on the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. The Eulerian Wall Film (EWF) model was utilized to simulate liquid film on the tube wall. Three different models of Entrainment rate were implemented and assessed through user-defined functions (UDF) in ANSYS. Finally, entrainment for fully developed flow was determined and compared with the experimental data available in the literature. From the simulations, it was obtained that the Bertodano correlation performed best in predicting entrainment fraction and the results were within the ±30 % limit when compared to experimental data.

The problem of determining the discharge rates of gases from pressurized vessels through pressure relief devices was dealt with comprehensively. First, starting from basic fluid flow equations, detailed modeling procedures were presented for isentropic nozzle flows and frictional flows in a pipe, respectively. Meanwhile, physical explanations were given to choking phenomena in terms of the acoustic velocity, elucidating the widespread use of Mach numbers in gas flow models. Frictional flows in a pipe were classified into adiabatic, isothermal, and general flows according to the heat transfer situation around the pipe, but the adiabatic flow model was recommended suitable for gas discharge through pressure relief devices. Next, for the isentropic nozzle flow followed by adiabatic frictional flow in the pipe, two equations were established for two unknowns that consist of the Mach numbers at the inlet and outlet of the pipe, respectively. The relationship among the ratio of downstream reservoir pressure to upstream pressure, mass flux, and total frictional loss coefficient was shown in various forms of MATLAB 2-D plot, 3-D surface plot and contour plot. Then, the profiles of gas properties and velocity in the pipe section were traced. A method to quantify the relationship among the pressure head, velocity head, and total friction loss was presented, and was used in inferring that the rapid increase in gas velocity in the region approaching the choked flow at the pipe outlet is attributed to the conversion of internal energy to kinetic energy. Finally, the Levenspiel chart reproduced in this work was compared with the Lapple chart used in API 521 Standatd.

The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of operating condition and ejector geometries on the hydrodynamics and on the mass transfer characteristic of ejector. The CFD results were validated with available experimental data. Flow field analyses and predictions of ejector performance were also carried out. Variation on the operating conditions was made by varying the gas-liquid flow rate ratio in the range of 0.2 to 1.2. The ejector configuration was also varied on the length to diameter ratio of mixing tube ($L_M/D_M$) in the range of 4 to 10. CFD studies show that at $L_M/D_M$ 5.5, the volumetric mass transfer coefficient increases with respect to gas flow rates. Meanwhile, at $L_M/D_M$ 4, the plot of volumetric mass transfer coefficient to gas-liquid flow rates ratio reach maximum at gas-liquid flow rates ratio of 0.6. This study also shows that volumetric mass transfer coefficient decrease with respect to the increase of mixing tube length.

A serpentine channel geometry often used in a fuel cell has a strong pressure gradient between adjacent channels in specific regions. The pressure gradient helps some amount of reactant gas penetrate through a gas diffusion layer(GDL). As a result, the overall serpentine flow structure is slightly different from the intention of a designer. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of serpentine flow structure on current density distribution. By using a commercial code, STAR-CD, a numerical simulation is performed to analyze the fuel cell with high aspect ratio of active area. To increase the accuracy of the numerical simulation, GDL permeabilities are measured with various compressive forces. Three-dimensional flow field and current density distribution are calculated. For the verification of the numerical simulation results, water condensation process in the cathode channel is observed through a transparent bipolar plate. The result of this study shows that the region of relatively low current density corresponds that of dropwise condensation in cathode channels.

An integrated adsorption/catalytic process has been considered to treat dioxin and $NO_x$ simultaneously. The process consists of a cyclone and a reactor with nine bag filters. In this study, numerical analysis has been performed to understand flow characteristics with inflow-duct types in the reactor. To consider flue gas and activated carbon particles simultaneously, Euler-Lagrangian model was employed. Fundamental flow patterns of flue gas and activated carbon particles, pressure distribution and distribution of activated carbon have been obtained from the numerical analysis. Also trace length and residence time of flue gas, residence time of activated carbon particles have been calculated directly. Flow patterns of flue gas and activated carbon particles in the reactor were very complicated and they moved along very various paths. Therefore, their residence time in the reactor was also various. The flow characteristics in the reactor were strongly influenced by inflow-duct types. The results obtained would be effectively used to estimate the removal efficiency in the reactor once the residence time is combined with the reaction equation.

고준위방사성폐기물처분장의 공학적 방벽에서는 다양한 원인으로 인해 기체가 발생한다. 만약 기체 생성 속도가 기체 확산 속도보다 빠를 경우 기체의 압력이 증가하게 되고, 기체 유입 압력(gas entry pressure)을 넘어서게 되면 기체가 급격히 벤토나이트 완충재를 통과하는 기체 이동 현상(gas migration)이 발생하게 되며 이는 사람과 주변 환경을 방사능에 노출시킬 수 있기 때문에, 공학적 방벽의 장기 건전성 확보 측면에서 기체 이동 현상을 명확히 규명하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 특히 벤토나이트 완충재와 같이 점토 물질을 다량 함유한 매질에서만 나타나는 매우 중요한 기체 흐름 현상인 팽창 흐름에 대한 수리-역학적 메커니즘을 규명하고, 기체 이동 현상의 정량적 평가를 위한 새로운 수치 해석 기법 개발 및 검증이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공학적 방벽에서의 기체 이동 현상을 모사하고자 역학 손상 모델 및 손상도를 고려한 2상 유동 모델을 개발하였으며, 일정 체적 경계 조건 하에서의 1차원 기체 주입 시험 모사를 통해 개발된 모델의 적용성을 검토하였다. 수치 해석 결과 공극 수압 및 응력, 기체 유출량이 팽창 흐름 발생 시 급격히 증가하는 현상을 모사할 수 있었다.

디자인 룰에 의해 Gate Length 가 100nm 이하로 줄어듦에 따라 Gate delay 감소와 Switch speed 향상을 위해 보다 더 큰 drive current 를 요구하게 되었다. 본 연구는 dirve current 를 증가시키기 위해 고안된 Strained Si substrate 를 만들기 위한 SiGe layer 성장에 관한 연구이다. SiGe layer를 성장시킬 때 SiH$_4$ gas와 GeH$_4$ gas를 furnace에 flow시켜 Chemical 반응에 의해 Si Substrate를 성장시키는 LPCVD(low pressure chemical vapor depositio)법을 사용하였고 SIMS와 nanospec을 이용하여 박막 두께 및 Ge concentration을 측정하였고, AFM으로 surface의 roughness를 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 우리는 10,20,30,40%의 Ge concentration을 갖는 10nm 이하의 SiGe layer를 얻기 위하여 l0nm 이하의 fixed 된 두께로 SiGe layer를 성장시킬 때 temperature, GeH$_4$ gas pre-flow, SiH$_4$ 와 GeH$_4$의 gas ratio를 변화시켜 성장시킨 후 Ge 의 concentration과 실제 형성된 두께를 측정하였고, SiGe의 mole fraction의 변화에 따른 surface의 roughness 를 측정하였다. 그 결과 10 nm의 두께에서 temperature, GeH$_4$ gas pre-flow, SiH$_4$ 와 GeH$_4$ 의 gas ratio의 변화와 Ge concentration 과의 의존성을 확인 할 수 있었고, SiGe 의 mole traction이 증가하였을 때 surfcace의 roughness 가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구 결과는 strained Si 가 가지고 있는 strained Si 내에서 n-FET 와 P-FET사이의 불균형에 대한 해결과 좀 더 발전된 형태인 fully Depleted Strained Si 제작에 기여할 것으로 보인다.
