Recently, as the fine dust is increased and the emission regulations of diesel engines are strengthened, interest in diesel soot filtration devices is rapidly increased. In particular, there is a demand for technology development for higher efficiency of diesel exhaust gas after-treatment devices. As part of this, many studies conducted to increase the exhaust gas treatment efficiency by improving the flow uniformity of the exhaust gas in the DPF and reducing the pressure drop between the inlet and outlet of disel particle filter (DPF). In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed when exhaust gas flows into the canning reduction device equipped with a 13" asymmetric DPF in order to maintain the flow uniformity in the diesel exhaust system and reduce the pressure. In particular, a study was conducted to find the geometry with the smallest pressure drop and the highest flow uniformity by simulating the DPF I/O ratio, exhaust gas temperature, inlet-outlet pressure and flow uniformity according to the geometry and hole size of distributor.

A parametric study of the thermal effects of a half-circumferential grooved journal bearings under aligned and misaligned conditions has been carried out by solving numerically the coupled Reynolds and energy equation system. Five different sets of boundary conditions for the energy equation have been used which include mixing between recirculating oil and inlet oil and a contraction ratio for the cavitation region. The effects of changes of the inlet oil temperature and pressure, the wall temperature and the L/D ratio have also been examined. For the range of parameters found in internal combustion engines, the mixing effectiveness at the groove and the resulting final mixture temperature have been found to be as important as the wall temperature and the heat transfer rate. The variability of the temperature, though, has been shown to smooth out the peaks of both pressure and friction during misaligned condition Distributions of friction and pressure in the oil are also examined which may be useful in attempts to reduce friction without reducing load. Results for an axial grooved bearing are also presentsed for comparision purpose.

Recently, a great deal of research and development of a fuel cell have been carried out to solve problems on the drain of fossil fuel, air pollution and global warning. In order to improve the efficiency of a fuel cell, it is necessary to clarify the flow in separator. In this study, distributions of velocity flow rate and pressure, and streamlines are examined in detail from numerical analysis with CFD code. In the experiment the distribution of flow rate is measured and flow in the each grooves of the separator is visualized by dye method changing Reynolds number. Furthermore, effects of size of the inlet and outlet manifolds and shape of ribs near the inlet outlet on the distributions of flow and pressure are examined.

Using a cycle simulation program developed by authors, some thermodynamic characteristics of an aircraft ECS under various operating conditions are studied. When the inlet temperature of cockpit and avionics bay, as well as ram air flow, is held fixed, the effect of the change of regulated bleed pressure is examined. When the regulated bleed pressure, and the cockpit and avionics bay inlet temperature are fixed, the effect of the change of ram air flow is also investigated.

This study describes a theoretical analysis for the wall temperature of ceramic filter trap and pressures of inlet and outlet channel in the filter trap. In this study, the maximum wall temperature through filter trap length with time during the regeneration period showed a tendency moving from forward to backward. The pressure change of filter trap increased at the initial combustion but decreased with the combustion to be activated. So the pressure difference between initial and end regeneration at the inlet channel showed about 2kPa. The thermal regeneration period of this filter trap in the theoretical analysis showed about 200seconds in which the wall temperature was similar to the case of initial condition and the pressure showed about 1 kPa.

The aim of this study is to provide fundamental informations that make it possible to use a cool stream and a hot stream simultaneously. We changed the pressure of compressed air that flows into a tube, the inner diameter of orifice that a cold stream exits, and the mass flow rate ratio. And in each case, we measured the temperature of a cold stream and a hot stream in each exit of a tube. Also we measured the axial temperature distribution and the radial temperature distribution in internal space of a tube. From the study, following conclusive remarks can be made. Average flow rate that flows into a tube is in proportion to square root of inlet pressure. As inlet pressure increases axial and radial temperature distribution in the inner space of vortex-tube increase. As mass flow rate ratio change, separation point moves.

In this study, the effects of water vapor in inlet air, spark advance and fuel type in the spark ignition engine were investigated through the experiments of combustion and flame arriving pattern analysis using ionization probe. The results of flame propagation experiment using ionization probe show that the flame which ignited from spark plug located at the center of the combustion chamber propagated faster in exhaust side than in intake side due to the mixture flow motion inducted into combustion chamber from intake tumble port at all conditions. And as the partial vapor pressure increased, the flame propagation became slower in all direction. Especially effects were greater for intake side than the exhaust side.

This study investigates the response characteristics of a four-cylinder four-stroke turbocharged diesel engine by using computer simulation and experiments when a rapid acceleration is applied to the fuelpump rack. In the theoretical analysis, linearization method is used to avoid the difficulty on the complex nonlinear functions. Comppressor exit pressure, pressure and temperature of turbine inlet, and turbocharger speed are chosen as the independent variables of transfer functions which represent the dynamic characteristics of the turbocharger system, and expressed as the functions with respect to the time. Experiments on the same eigine system are also carried out to prove the validity of theoretical study. Further, this study carried an experiment for improving transient response performance by injecting air into the inlet manifold under the rapid accelerating conditions. The effects of air injection on the response performances are also represented at varying conditions such as injection pressure, injection period, accelerating rate, accelerating time, engine speed and load.

An acoustical shape optimization problem is formulated for optimal design of a perforated reactive muffler with offset inlet/outlet. The mean transmission loss value in a target frequency range is maximized for an allowed pressure drop value between an inlet and an outlet. Partitions in the chamber are divided into several sub-partitions, whose lengths are selected as design variables. Each sub-partition has the same number of holes, whose sizes are equal. A finite element model is employed for acoustical and flow analyses. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is used to obtain an optimal muffler. The acoustical and fluidic characteristics of the optimal muffler are compared with those of a reference muffler. Validation experiment is carried out to support the effectiveness of our suggested method.

This paper describes a methodology for determination of representative CANDU feeder geometry and the pressure drops between inlet/outlet header and fuel channel in the primary loop. A code, MEDOC, was developed based on this methodology and helps perform a calculation of equivalent feeder geometry for a selected channel group on the basis of feeder geometry data (fluid volume, mass flow rate, loss factor) and given property data pressure, quality, density) at inlet/outlet header. The equivalent feeder geometry calculated based on this methodology will be useful fur the transient thermohydraulic analysis of the primary heat transport system for the CANDU heavy water-cooled pressure tube reactor.
