Numerical analysis had been performed to understand flow characteristics of the flue gas and slurry in the absorber of a flue gas desulphurization (FGD) system using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. Two-fluid(Euler-Lagrangian) model had been employed to simulate physical phenomenon, which slurry particles injected through slurry spray nozzles fall down and bump into the flue gas inflowing through inlet duct. It was not necessary to adopt pre-defined pressure drop inside the absorber because interaction between flue gas and slurry particles was considered. Hundreds of slurry spray nozzles were considered with the spray velocity at the nozzles, swirl velocity and spreading angle. The results note that the flow disturbance of flue gas is found at the bottom of the absorber, and the current rising with high speed stream is observed in the opposite region of the inflow duct. The high speed stream is reduced as the flue gas goes up, because the high speed stream of flue gas dumps falling slurry particles due to momentum exchange between flue gas and slurry particles. In spite of some disproportion in slurry distribution inside the absorber, escape of slurry particles from the absorber facility is not observed. The pressure drop inside the absorber is mainly occurred at the bottom section.

Residual gas fraction in an engine cylinder affects engine performance, efficiency and emission characteristics. With high residual gas fractions, a flame speed and maximum combustion temperature are decreased and these are deeply related with combustion stability especially at idle and NOx emission at relatively high engine load. In this work, the residual gas fraction was calculated by an engine simulation code, which was validated by the experimental data (cylinder pressure and emissions) obtained from 4-cyliner spark ignition engine. A comparison between experimental and computational calculation results was made. The residual gas is generated mostly at low engine speed by the larger pressure difference between the intake and exhaust port. As the valve overlap duration was increased, the amount of residual gas in the cylinder, the amount of HC emission in the exhaust gas and the variation of power output increased.

Densification behavior of $Si_3N_4$ ceramics by two step gas pressure sintering was compared with pres-sureless sintering one step gas pressure sintering or hot isostatic pressing. While it was difficult to get the highly interlocked ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ microstructure during the pressureless sintering due to decomposition above $1800^{\circ}C$ gas pressure sintering could solve this problem by increasing the densification temperature 2MPa of nitrogen pressure was enough to inhibit the decomposition up to $1890^{\circ}C$ and especially two step gas pres-sure sintering applying comparatively low pressure(2MPa) until the closed pore stage and then high pres-sure(10MPa) after pore closure could increase the hardness and the toughness.

High-maneuver missile is a projectile which demands a strong momentum at short time. To produce a necessary thrust for the flight, the gas of high temperature and pressure is generated through explosive combustion of solid propellant, and a great thrust can be obtained by expanding this high temperature and pressure gas. Although the operating time of a rocket motor is less than a few seconds, a failure of part or ablation near the throat of nozzle may take place during the expansion of high temperature and pressure gas for great thrust. In other words, for the precise control of a missile an exact stress analysis considering both, the thermal stress caused by the heat transfer between combustion gas and wall, and the mechanical stress caused by the pressure change in the flow, should be considered first. In this connection, this study investigated the safety, as a point of view of stress and melting point of the material, of the pre-designed thrust generating structure which is subjected to high temperature and pressure as a function of motor operating time.

Supersonic aircraft and missiles often encounter damage issues due to high-speed collisions with small objects such as ice particles and water droplets. This can significantly impact the safety and performance of these vehicles, making the assessment and development of collision testing crucial. Existing collision testing methods have relied on equipment such as gas guns, which utilize high pressure. However, most accelerators for projectiles are large-scale devices designed for weaponry and high-pressure gases, rendering them inaccessible and unsuitable for laboratory use. Therefore, there is a need for research into easily accessible and economically efficient testing devices at the laboratory level. An impact tester can launch a projectile with a velocity of 100 m/s using low-pressure compressed air at approximately 10 bar. The velocity of the impact tester projectile is determined by the pressure within the chamber, friction, and the length of the barrel. In this study, computational fluid dynamics was utilized to define friction coefficients that match experimental results based on projectile weight, enabling accurate prediction of velocity. The resulting data provides practical and effective insights for the design of impact testers, utilizing the defined friction coefficients to understand and predict complex physical phenomena.

To analyze the performance of the gas circuit breaker(GCB), the flow field variables such as temperature, pressure and density should be evaluated accurately In the puffer chamber of puffer type GCB, the pressure rise may Exceed 20 bar and in this range of high pressure, $SF_6$ gas deviates the ideal gas property. Therefore, the real gas property of $SF_6$ should be taken into consideration for the accurate analysis of flow field. This paper presents the analysis technique of cold gas flow in GCB employing the real gas state equation of SF6. The FVFLIC method is Employed to solve the axisymmetric Euler equation. To reduce the computational effort of real gas state equation, the relationship between density and pressure is approximated by the polynomial at the temperature of 300K. The proposed method is applied to the test GCB model and simulation results show good agreement with the experimental ones.

Gas(or methane) hydrates are solid solutions when water molecules are linked through hydrogen bonding and create host lattice cavities that can enclose a large variety of guest gas molecules. The natural gas hydrate crystal may exist at low temperature above the normal freezing point of water and high pressure greater than about 30 bars. A lot of quantities of natural gas hydrates exists in the earth and many production schemes are being studied. In the present investigation, depressurization method was considered to predict the production of gas and the simulation of the two phase flow - gas and water - in porous media is being carried out. The simulation show about the fluid flow in porous media have a variety of applications in industry. Results provide the appearance of gas and water production, the pressure profile, the saturation of gas/ water/ hydrates profiles and the location of the pressure front.

In liquid hydrogen storage tanks, tank damage or leakage in the surrounding pipes possess a major risk. Since these tanks store huge amounts of the fluid among all the liquid hydrogen process facilities, there is a high risk of leakage-related accidents. Therefore, in this study, we conducted a risk assessment of liquid hydrogen leakage for a grid-type liquid hydrogen storage tank (lattice-type pressure vessel (LPV): 18 m³) that overcame the low space efficiency of the existing pressure vessel shape. Through a commercially developed three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics program, the geometry of the site, where the liquid hydrogen storage tank will be installed, was obtained and simulations of the leakage scenarios for each situation were performed. From the computational flow analysis results, the pool formation behavior in the event of liquid hydrogen leakage was identified, and the resulting damage range was predicted.

The soot yield is studied by a premixed propane-oxygen-inert gas combustion in a specially designed disk-type constant-volume combustion chamber to investigate the effect of turbulence on soot formation. Premixtures are simultaneously ignited by eight spark plugs located on the circumference of chamber at 45 degree intervals in order to observe the soot formation under high pressures and high temperatures. The eight flames converged compress the end gases to a high pressure. The laser schlieren and direct flame photographs for observation field with 10 mm in diameter are taken to examine into the behaviors of flame front and gas flow in laminar and turbulent combustion. The soot volume fraction in the chamber center during the final stage of combustion at the highest pressure is measured by the in situ laser extinction technique and simultaneously the corresponding burnt gas temperature by the two-color pyrometry method. It is found that the soot yield of turbulent combustion decreases in comparison with that of laminar combustion because the burnt gas temperature increases with the drop of heat loss.

Lean premix combustion is a best method in low $NO_x$ gas turbine combustor and we must know the characteristics of NO emission in high temperature and pressure condition in premix flame. Numerical analysis was performed to investigate the NO emission characteristics by adopting a counterflow as a model problem using detailed chemical kinetics. Methane $(CH_4)$ was used as a test fuel which is the main fuel of natural gas. The tested parameters were stretch rate, equivalence ratio, initial temperature, and pressure in premix flame. Results showed that NO emission was high in low stretch rate, near stoichiometric equivalence ratio, high initial temperature, and high pressure. Also, the pressure effect was sensitive in high temperature condition.
