A surface piercing propeller (SPP) in tunnel has been proposed recently as a new propulsion system for a high speed air cavity ship. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the characteristics of the SPP in tunnel through a series of model tests. A model propulsion system is placed on a dummy body made of Acrylics. The tunnel is divided into two regions by a guide vane extending from the inlet to the center of the propeller shaft. Air has been supplied from an air nozzle placed at the bottom of the dummy body and the changes in propeller performances caused by the air flow are investigated. The measurements are done for open water and in-tunnel conditions, both for fully and partially submerged propeller. The influence of the guide vane configurations on the propeller performance is also studied. The experiments are performed at the variable pressure circulation water channel of Inha University

음식물쓰레기 퇴비화시설에서 발생하는 악취에 대해 90일 동안 입구농도를 측정한 결과 발효기 가동시간에는 $10{\sim}100ppm$, 비가동시간에는 $0{\sim}10ppm$의 농도를 나타냈다. 바이오필터의 제거효율은 초기에 80%정도를 보이다 20일 전후를 해서 90%이상을 나타냈다. 압력손실은 90일 경과 후에도 20 $mmH_2O$를 넘지 않아 바이오필터에 효율적인 악취처리가 이루어졌음을 알 수 있다.

This study has been conducted to investigate the thermopneumatic and flow characteristics of diffuser/nozzle based thermopneumatic micropumps. In this study, a transient three-dimensional numerical analysis using FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) model has been employed to analyze the effects of the interaction between the membrane and two fluids (air and water) in the thermopneumtic micropump. The transient temperature and pressure in the cavity, the transient displacements of the membrane and the net flow rate of the micropump have been closely calculated for the frequency of 1 Hz. It has been found that the difference of the flow rates at the inlet and outlet is larger in the cooling period than in the heating period and that the duty ratio is very important in association with pump performance because the temperature in the cavity ascends drastically in the heating period and descends slowly in the cooling period. This study can be regarded as fundamental understandings for the design and analysis of thermopneumatic micropumps.

Effect of a non-absorbable gas on the absorption process in a vertical tube absorber was investigated numerically. The water vapor mined with air as the non-absorbable gas is absorbed into LiBr/water solution film. The flow is assumed to be laminar and fully developed in both liquid and gas phases. The diffusion and energy equations were solved in both phases to give the temperature and concentrations, from which heat and mass fluxes were determined. It was shown that the local absorption rate decreases as the mass fraction of air in water vapor increases. The vapor pressure of water at the liquid-vapor interface reduces significantly since the non-absorbable gas is accumulated near the interface. The effect of non-absorbable gases on absorption rate becomes larger as the mass flow rate of the vapor decreases. For small amount of non-absorbable gases the total absorption rate of water vapor increases as the mass flow rate of the vapor decreases. Total absorption rate increases as the mass flow rate of the vapor increases for large concentration of non-absorbables at the inlet of an absorber.

The goal of this study was to evaluate micro-bubble concentration ($C_{air}$) in water by air/water ratio (A/W ratio) with a micro-bubble generating pump. The estimation of micro-bubble concentration is based on the balance of inlet/outlet air and water flow rate. On net A/W ratio to be generated micro-bubble, we found that the obtained the $C_{air}$ are shown as a function of discharge pressure ($P_g$) of the micro-bubble generating pump. The correlation of the $C_{air}$ and the $P_g$ ($C_{air}=3.261P_g-1.754$) was adequately described by the least square methods with a high correlation coefficient (r = 0.9459) and calculated values fit the experimental data quite well. The $C_{air}$ was lower than theoretical dissolved air concentration ($C_{aq}$) calculated by Henry's law. The $C_{air}$ for being operated the micro-bubble generating pump was 6.75 - 39.53 mL/L, however, we found that the optimum of the $C_{air}$ to generate micro-bubble was the range from 10 to 12 mL/L.

For a given axial turbine blade, reverse design method is developed to improve blade efficiency, optimize blade profile, or repair parts etc. In this process, design parameters for designing axial turbine blade are induced. The induced design parameters are as follows; ellipse at leading edge, radios of trailing edge, axial chord, tangential chord, wedge angle at the inlet, and unguided turning angle. Suction and pressure surfaces of turbine blade are described by cubic polynomials. Two sample blades we chosen and their blade profiles are measured at the mean radius. Values of design parameters for sample blades are obtained by the reverse design method. Re-designed blade profiles using calculated design parameters are compared with the measured data, and they show good agreement. So, the developed design method could be applied to design general turbine blades. Various blade shapes are designed, and they show that designed blade profiles can be adjusted by controlling design parameters.

The flow and heat/mass transfer characteristics on the squealer tip surface of a high-turning turbine rotor blade have been investigated at a Reynolds number of $2.09{\times}10^5$, by employing the oil-film flow visualization and naphthalene sublimation technique. The squealer rim height-to-chord ratio and tip gap height-to-chord ratio are fixed as typical values of $h_{st}/c$ = 5.5% and h/c = 2.0%, respectively, for turbulence intensities of Tu = 0.3% and 15%. The results show that the near-wall flow phenomena within the cavity of the squealer tip are totally different from those over the plane tip. There are complicated backward flows from the suction side to the pressure side near the cavity floor, in contrast to the plane tip gap flows moving toward the suction side after flow separation/reattachment. The squealer tip provides a significant reduction in tip surface thermal load with less severe gradient compared to the plane tip. In this study, the tip surface is divided into six different regions, and transport phenomena at each region are discussed in detail. The mean thermal load averaged over the squealer cavity floor is augmented by 7.5 percents under the high inlet turbulence level.

Since the temperature of waste heat source is relatively low, it is difficult to maintain high level of efficiency in power generation when the waste heat recovery is employed in the system. In an effort to improve the thermal efficiency and power output, use of ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid in the power cycle becomes a viable option. In this work, the performance of ammonia-water mixture based Rankine cycle is thoroughly investigated in order to maximize the power generation from the low temperature waste heat. In analyzing the power cycle, several key system parameters such as mass fraction of ammonia in the mixture and turbine inlet pressure are studied to examine their effects on the system performance. The results of the cycle analysis find a substantial increase both in power output and thermal efficiency if the fraction of ammonia increases in the working fluid.

Waste-to-energy facilities including incinerators are known as an efficient method to reduce wastes. In waste-to-energy facilities, more efficient cooling system is still needed for grates as the energy density of waste increased. For better cooling performance with the water-cooled grates, optimal design of cooling water pathways is highly beneficial. We performed numerical investigation on fluid flow and residence time of cooling water with change of the geometry of the cooling water pathway. With addition of round shaped guide vanes in the water pathway, the maximum residence time of flow is reduced(from 4.3 sec. to 2.4 sec.), but there is no significant difference in pressure drop between inlet and outlet, and average residence time at the outlet. Furthermore the flow stagnation region moves to the outlet, as the position of the round shaped guide vanes is located to the neck point of pathways.

Gas turbine engine among Principal internal combustion engines has been mainly applied as an aero and industrial Power plant. In order to increase its thermal efficiency. it has been raised their pressure ratio of compressor and the turbine inlet temperature. To operate above the limit temperature of turbine material, turbine nozzle vanes should be cooled. For this the cooling air is bled from the compressor section of 9as turbine. Meanwhile, to keep high thermal efficiency of 9as turbine, turbine vanes are to be cooled by using small cooling air Therefore, the complex cooling passages are requested to be designed and evaluated the effectiveness of vane cooling by measuring turbine vane temperature. But it is very difficult or impossible for us to measure local turbine temperatures at actual temperature When local heat transfer coefficients are known these can be calculated, therefore this study has been investigated on obtaining these coefficients of turbine vane at room temperature using TLC.
