The stratification phenomena of still hydrogen (20%) and methane (80%) gas mixture in a vertical urban gas pipe have been investigated by simulating the flows based on a mixture model. The stratification is accompanied with the natural convection by the buoyancy force. The hydrogen volume fraction in the upper sections of the pipe increases with time but the increasing rate gets smaller due to the weaker buoyancy force. The pipe with a smaller diameter exhibits a higher peak of hydrogen concentration. The size of vortices is proportional to the pipe diameter. The slip velocity between hydrogen and methane oscillates with a large amplitude at the earlier stage of stratification and then the amplitude decreases sharply. The slip velocity decreases with the diameter, making the stratification become slower. The length of pipe does not affect the stratification since the pipe is sufficiently long relative to the size of vortices.

The aim of this study was to analyze the thermal performance through Test-Cell of TI-wall in domestic climate. This study was carried out as follows: 1) The TI-wall was studied for ability to reduce heat loss through the building envelope and analyzed to TIM properties. 2) Test models of TI-wall were designed through the investigation of previous paper and work, measured for winter and spring, and the thermal effects were analyzed. The type of the TIM used in test model is small-celled(diameter 4mm and thickness 50mm) capillary and cement brick(density $1500kg/m^3$) was used by thermal mass. 3) Test-cell of TI-wall was calibrated from measured data and the dynamic simulation program ESP-r 9.0. In these simulations, the measured climate conditions of TaeJon were used as outdoor conditions, and the simulation model of Test-cell was developed. 4) The sensitivity analysis is executed in various aspects with standard weather files and ESP-r 9.0, and then most suitable system of TI-wall are predicted. Finally, The suitable system of TI-wall was analysed according to sizes of air gap, kinds, thickness, and the surface absorption of therm wall. The result is following. In TI-wall, Concrete is better than cement brick, at that time the surface absorption is 95%, and the most efficient thickness is 250mm. As smaller of a air gap, as reducer of convection heat loss, it is efficient for heating energy. However, ensuring of a air gap at least more than 50mm is desirable for natural ventilation in Summer.

As the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) tank contains cryogenic liquid, realistic thermal analyses are of a primary importance for a successful design. The structural details of the LNG tank are so complicated that some strategies are necessary to reasonably predict its temperature distribution. The proposed heat transfer model can consider the beneficial effects of insulation layers and a suspended deck on temperature distribution of the outer concrete tank against cryogenic conditions simply by the boundary conditions of the outer tank model. To this aim, the equilibrium condition or heat balance in a steady state is utilized in a various way, and some aspects of heat transfer via conduction, convection and radiation are implemented as necessary. Overall thermal analysis procedures for the LNG tank are revisited to examine some unjustifiable assumptions of conventional analyses. Concrete and insulation properties under cryogenic condition and a reasonable conversion procedure of the temperature-induced nonlinear stress into the section forces are discussed. Numerical examples are presented to verify the proposed schemes in predicting the actual temperature and stress distributions of the tank as affected by the cryogenic LNG for the cases of normal operation and leakage from the inner steel tank. It is expected that the proposed schemes enable a designer to readily detect the effects of insulation layers and a suspended deck and, therefore, can be employed as a useful and consistent tool to evaluate the thermal effect in a design stage of an LNG tank as well as in a detailed analysis.

현장에서의 주요 운송 메카니즘을 연구하기 위하여 시간별 잔존수 농도분포곡선 자료를 이용하였다. 운송개념을 대표하는 모델로서 2개의 상반된 가설에 근기한 모델, 즉 CDE와 CLT모델을 사용하였으며 파라미터 추정을 위하여 깊이별 평균농도자료에 최적화기법을 적용하였으며 잔존수 농도의 도달시간을 나타내는 확율밀도함수를 이용하여 모멘트해석도 시행되었다. 모멘트 해석결과 잔존수농도의 1차 및 2차 시간 모멘트는 침출수농도의 것들보다 크게 나타났다. 또한 시간 모멘트를 이용하여 오염물질 운송시간의 변이도와 확산 파라미터도 도출되었다. 변이도 및 확산계수와 운송거리간의 상관관계는 침출수농도 및 잔존수농도에 대해서 동일하게 나타났다. 이러한 관계를 이용하여 2가지 모델을 검정하였으나 운송거리에 따른 운송파라미터의 불규칙한 변화로 확정적 결론을 얻을 수 없었다. 따라서 첫 번째 깊이에서 얻은 파라미터를 이용하여 다른 깊이에서의 오염물질 운송 방식을 예측하여 실측자료와 비교하여 각 모델을 검정하였다. 그 결과 CLT 모델이 CDE 모델보다 현장실측자료에 근접하였다. 이는 오염물질이 이동함에 따라 완전한 혼합이 발생하는 것이 아니라 상관흐름 즉, "오염물질이 각 층을 통과할 때 빠른 물질은 빠르게 느린 물질은 지속적으로 느리게 움직인다"는 사실을 뒷받침한다고 볼 수 있다. 특히 첨두농도에 대한 CDE 모델의 과대예측은 오염물질 확산의 과소평가에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다.

Urea-SCR system, which converts nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and water in the presence of a reducing agent, usually AdBlue urea solution, is known as one of the powerful NOx reduction systems for mobile as well as stationary applications. For its consistent and reliable operation in mobile applications, such various problems as transient injection, ammonia slip, and freezing in cold weather have to be resolved. In this work, therefore, numerical study on three-dimensional unsteady heating problems were analyzed to understand the melting and heat transfer characteristics such as urea liquid volume fraction, temperature profiles and generated natural convection behavior in urea solution by using the commercial software Fluent 6.3. After validating by comparing numerical and experimental data with pure gallium melting phenomena, numerical experiment for urea melting is conducted with three different coolant heating models named CH1, 2, and 3, respectively. Finally, it can be found that the CH3 model, in which more coolant is concentrated on the lower part of the urea tank, has relatively better melting capability than others in terms of urea quantity of $1{\ell}$ for start-up schedule.

The nuclear fuel cycle plant is composed of various subsystems such as a fuel storage and delivery system (SDS), a tokamak exhaust processing system, a hydrogen isotope separation system, and a tritium plant analytical system. Korea is sharing in the construction of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) fuel cycle plant with the EU, Japan, and the US, and is responsible for the development and supply of the SDS. Hydrogen isotopes are the main fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. Metal hydrides offer a safe and convenient method for hydrogen isotope storage. The storage of hydrogen isotopes is carried out by absorption and desorption in a metal hydride bed. These reactions require heat removal and supply respectively. Accordingly, the rapid storage and delivery of hydrogen isotopes are enabled by a rapid cooling and heating of the metal hydride bed. In this study, we designed and manufactured a vertical-type hydrogen isotope storage bed, which is used to enhance the cooling performance. We present the experimental details of the cooling performances of the bed using various cooling parameters. We also present the modeling results to estimate the heat transport phenomena. We compared the cooling performance of the bed by testing different cooling modes, such as an isolation mode, a natural convection mode, and an outer jacket helium circulation mode. We found that helium circulation mode is the most effective which was confirmed in our model calculations. Thus we can expect a more efficient bed design by employing a forced helium circulation method for new beds.

In this work, the effects of shade combination, shade height and wind regime on greenhouse climate were quantified. A two-dimensional (2-D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed based on an 11-span plastic greenhouse in eastern China for wind almost normal to the greenhouse orientation. The model was first validated with air temperature profiles measured in a compartmentalized greenhouse cultivated with mature lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., 'Yang Shan'). Next, the model was employed to investigate the effect of shade combinations on greenhouse microclimate patterns. Simulations showed similar airflow patterns in the greenhouse under different shade combinations. The temperature pattern was a consequence of convection and radiation transfer and was not significantly influenced by shade combination. The use of shade screens reduced air velocity by $0.02-0.20m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, lowered air temperature by $0.2-0.8^{\circ}C$ and raised the humidity level by 0.9-2.0% in the greenhouse. Moreover, it improved the interior climate homogeneity. The assessment of shade performance revealed that the external shade had good cooling and homogeneity performance and thus can be recommended. Furthermore, the effects of external shade height and wind regime on greenhouse climate parameters showed that external shade screens are suitable for installation within 1 m above roof level. They also demonstrated that, under external shade conditions, greenhouse temperature was reduced relative to unshaded conditions by $1.3^{\circ}C$ under a wind speed of $0.5m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, whereas it was reduced by merely $0.5^{\circ}C$ under a wind speed of $2.0m{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Therefore, external shading is more useful during periods of low wind speed.

캡슐형 잠열재를 이용한 열저장 시스템은 바닥 난방 및 건물 난방에서 매우 효과적인 시스템이다. 이러한 시스템 개발에 필수적인 요소가 열유동 매체가 순환하는 파이프 주변의 캡슐내 온도 분포와 열유동 매체의 유량 등이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 3차원 비정상 상태에서 Navier-Stokes 방정식, 난류모델을 비롯한 스칼라 보존 방정식을 적용하여 캡슐 블록의 온도 분포 및 파이프 내의 유동장 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 본 연구와 같이 계산 영역이 특별한 기하학적 현상을 형상(circle+square)인 문제 해결하는데 적용할 수 있는 새로운 격자 생성 기술(MBFGE/CCM)을 개발하였다. 격자계는 파이프에서 원형 격자를 이용하였고, 캡슐 블록에서 사각 격자를 이용하여 다중격자와 미세격자를 결합하여 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 컴퓨터를 이용한 수치해석적 방법을 미세 캡슐을 이용한 축열보드에 적용하여 2종류의 열경계 상태에 대하여 속도와 온도분포를 계산하여 비교분석을 하는 것이다. 온도는 축열 보드의 한 쪽면은 대류면이고 다른 한쪽면은 단열면인 경우(Case 2)보다 양면 모두 단열인 경우(Case 1)일 때 더 높게 상승하였다. 온수 파이프 중심선인 Y=0 에 가까운 영역에서 Case 1과 Case 2사이에 축열 보드 내에서 온도 차이는 확연하게 나타났다. 향후 수치해석의 정확도를 높이고 축열 보드의 열전달 현상을 보다 정확히 계산하기 위해서는 위치 및 시간에 따른 정밀한 온도 측정값이 필요하고 특히 잠열재인 미세 캡슐이 상변화를 하므로 온도 변화에 따른 물질의 비열(C$_{p}$)과 열전달율(λ)을 고려한 방정식이 요구된다.
