Numerical analyses of a turbine redesigned to achieving the weight reduction by equipping square nozzles and the original turbine have been conducted and the results have been compared. The results show that the turbine with square section nozzles has more even flow distribution at the first row rotor inlet and less inactive areas but the loss induced by wake is increased. Despite the wake loss, the newly designed turbine shows better performance than the original one. It has also been found that the turbine performance can be improved by reshaping its stator and second row rotor.

In this paper, we present the flow and heat transfer characteristics with the array of impinging jet nozzles by using the numerical computation and experiment. Numerical solutions were obtained for dimensionless gap H=6, dimensionless outlet length L=10 and Reynolds number Re=1500 by using the commercial CFD code, CFX-5. Experimental and numerical results were agreed well with each other. It was found that the impinging jet with circular array nozzles generated the uniform heat transfer area and the maximum heat transfer is higher than rectangular array nozzles for certain parameter sets. It is one of the most important utilities providing steam to turbine in order to supply mechanical energy in thermal power plant. It is composed of thousands of tubes for high efficient heat transfer.

This paper presents both experimental and numerical studies regarding nozzles used for the SI engine application, particularly for the intake-port fuel injection type. The atomization mechanism of the multi-hole plate nozzle was investigated experimentally. It was found that the nozzle design added turbulence into the liquid-film jet and the jet disintegrated rapidly. Based on the results, various plate types for the nozzle were developed and tested; six hole nozzle for liquid jet interaction, plate-type nozzle with flat duct channel, and the simpler structured nozzle. The spray characteristics of the prototype nozzles were examined experimentally while the internal flow of the nozzle was investigated computationally. It was shown that turbulent liquid-film was injected and atomization quality was improved by controlling the internal flow condition of the plate-type nozzle.

Numerical investigation has been performed to simulate the spray characteristics in mist-spray fire suppression nozzles in sense of design parameters. Two key shape factors in nozzle orifices. i.e. diameter and length are chosen as simulation parameters. Commercial softwares, FLUENT and FDS with the proper modelings were applied as numerical tools. Main performances of nozzles, i.e., K-factors, spray angles, droplet size, jet velocities and fire suppression time are analyzed for each parameter to find optimal design conditions.

The shock structure of supersonic, dual, coaxial jet is experimentally investigated. Eight different kinds of coaxial, dual nozzles are employed to observe the major features of the near field shock structure of the supersonic, coaxial, dual jets. Four convergent-divergent supersonic nozzles having the Mach number of 2.0 and 3.0, and are used to compare the coaxial jet flows discharging from two sonic nozzles. The primary pressure ratio is changed in the range between 4.0 and 10.0 and the assistant jet pressure ratio from 1.0 to 4.0. The results obtained show that the impinging angle, nozzle geometry and pressure ratio significantly affect the near field shock structure, Mach disk location and Mach disk diameter. The annular shock system is found depending the assistant and primary jet pressure ratios.

In the present study, numerical simulation has been performed to investigate the characteristics of the mist flow through the fire suppression nozzles. The commercial CFD software, FLUENT with the proper modeling was applied in both the internal and external flow region of the spray nozzles. Applications were done to the full cone nozzle for the operation range of the low pressure and high flow-rate. Numerical validation was proved by the comparison of the experimental data. Parametric study of the key design factors was tried to improve the performance.

An experiment was conducted to figure out the atomization characteristics of a highly viscous biodiesel fuel with rice-barn oil applying and ultrasonic energy into it. A spray simulator for the droplet atomization, an ultrasonic system, and six different nozzles(3 pintle-type nozzles and 3 single hole-type nozzles) were made. To investigate effects of ultrasonic energy in a highly viscous liquid fuel, an immersion liquid method was used as a measurement method on droplet size distributions. It was found that the ultrasonic energy was effective for the atomization improvement of the rice-bran oil as a highly viscous biodiesel fuel and the factor나 such as the nozzle opening pressure, pin-edge angles, hole diameters, and collection distances affected the atomization of spray droplets.

Experimental and theoretical researches about jet pump have been carried out by many researchers. Jet pump can be used for the transportation of solid materials, farm produce, and fishes. It is the purpose of this paper to seek optimal multi nozzle shape of the annular jet pump. Experiments were done for several jet nozzle areas, jet nozzle arrays and jet nozzle lengths. Water was used for both the primary fluid and secondary fluid. The efficiency curves for the annular jet pump having multi nozzles are presented in this paper.

It has been reported that propane non-premixed interacting flames are not extinguished even in 210m/s if eight small nozzles are arranged along the imaginary circle of 40 ~ 72 times the diameter of single nozzle. In this research, experiments were extended to the methane flame. Nine nozzles were used- eight was evenly located along the perimeter of the imaginary circle and one at the geometric center. The space between nozzles, s, the exit velocity and the role of the jet from the center nozzle were considered. On the contrary to the propane non-premixed flame, small amount of fuel fed through the center nozzle makes the methane diffusion flame stable even at the choking conditions. In the laminar region, the flame at the center nozzle anchored the outer lifted flames.

An experimental study has been peformed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of impinging jets with multiple orifice nozzles. Four different shapes of multiple orifice nozzle were tested to improve the heat transfer characteristics of impinging jet. Heat transfer coefficients were obtained by using transient and steady method based on the liquid crystal thermography, and both methods showed very similar results. The effects of multiple orifice nozzles on the heat transfer characteristics of impinging jets were discussed in detail. The results showed that multiple orifice nozzles improved the heat transfer characteristics of impinging jet. Especially, heat transfer coefficients around stagnation region of impinging jets were highly increased.
