Along with dust collection efficiency, pressure loss is a very important cyclone operation factor. A severe rise in pressure loss causes the problem of cost. To solve the problem, the method connecting axial-vane type cyclones in parallel is suggested recently. The axial vane type cyclone dust collector applied in this study is a small portable type. Multiple cyclones are installed in a round type. The basic performance test on the axial vane type cyclone dust collector was conducted. As a result, the cut size reduced along with a rise in the wind velocity of the cyclone dust collector inlet. According to the test on dust collection efficiency, the effect of dust collection began to appear in the range of 3㎛ and dust collection efficiency was greatly improved at 5 ㎛. The noise of the cyclone dust collector well met the fan sound power level of KSB 6361.

The impact of vertical grid-nesting on the tropical cyclone intensity and track forecast was investigated using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) version 3.8 and the initialization method of the Structure Adjustable Balanced Bogus Vortex (SABV). For a better resolution in the central part of the numerical domain, where the tropical cyclone of interest is located, a horizontal and vertical nesting technique was employed. Simulations of the tropical cyclone Sanba (16th in 2012) indicated that the vertical nesting had a weak impact on the cyclone intensity and little impact on the track forecast. Further experiments revealed that the performance of forecast was quite sensitive to the horizontal resolution, which is in agreement with previous studies. The improvement is due to the fact that horizontal resolution can improve forecasts not only on the tropical cyclone-scale but also for large-scale disturbances.

원자력시설 핫셀 (Hot Cell)내에서 핵종실험 시 발생하는 고방사능 분진(Hot Particulate)의 크기는 0.5300 ${\mu}m$이고 주 핵종은 UO$_2$였다. 핫셀 내의 고방사능 분진을 제거하기 위해 사이클론과 Bag/HEPA필터로 구성된 장치를 고안하였고, 이 장치의 사이클론에 의해 고방사능 분진을 최대로 포집할 수 있는 실험조건을 제시했다. 모의입자의 크기가 클수록 입자의 포집효율은 높았다. 모의 입자의 크기가 5${\mu}m$ 이상일 때, 입자의 포집효율은 $80\%$보다 높았다. 모의 입자의 크기가 1.0 ${\mu}m$ 보다 작을 때, 포집효율은 $70\%$ 보다 작았다. 모의 입자의 유입속도가 12 m/sec보다 클 때, 포집효율은 $70\%$보다 높았다. 그러나 유입속도가 17 m/sec 보다 클 때 포집효율의 증가율은 크지 않았다. 모의입자의 포집효율은 Vortex Finder의 길이가 7.2 cm이하일 때, 길이의 증가와 함께 높아졌지만 7.2 cm 이상일 때는 낮아지기 시작했다. 그러므로 Vortex Finder의 길이가 7.2 cm 일 때, 최대포집효율을 나타냈다. 사이클론 밑에 보조콘 부착 시 모든 속도 범위에서 약 평균 $2\%$ 정도 포집효율이 증가하므로 보조콘 부착효과가 크지 않았다.

Cyclone, a type of particle collector widely used in the field of ambient sampling and industrial particulate control, is the principal type of gas-solids separator that uses a centrifugal force. The goal of this study is to design and evaluate the cyclone that can be used for the household vacuum cleaners. A multi cyclone with a 1st cyclone and several 2nd cyclones is designed to improve dust collection efficiency. The dust collection efficiency and the suction power of 1st cyclone are evaluated. And the dust collection efficiency and the suction power of multi cyclone are evaluated according to various sizes of inlet and vortex finder. As a result, a cone shape porous filter has better dust collection efficiency than a cylinder shape porous filter. The dust collection efficiency of a multi cyclone is 3.5% greater than that of a single cyclone.

The tangential and axial cyclones were fabricated using a 3D printer and the total collecting efficiency, cut-diameter, and pressure drop characteristics of the two types of cyclones with the same inlet area were investigated experimentally. The results show that the total collecting efficiency tends to increase as the inlet velocity increases. However, at a 20m/s condition of the tangential cyclone, the collected particles were re-entrained to the ascending vortex flow, resulting in a decrease of the total collecting efficiency. In the axial cyclone, the cross-sectional area is designed to increase at the inlet and the velocity is reduced, so that the re-entrainment effect does not appear in this study. The pressure loss of the tangential cyclone was larger than that of the axial cyclone. The cut-diameter tends to decrease with increasing the inlet velocity in two types of cyclones, except for the 20m/s condition of the tangential cyclone.

Particulate matter (PM) is one of the major indoor air pollutants especially in the subway station in Korea. In order to remove PM in the subway station, several kinds of PM removal system such as roll-filter, auto-washable air filter, demister, and electrostatic precipitator are used in the air handling unit (AHU) of subway stations. However, those systems are prone to operation and maintenance problems since the filter-regeneration unit consisting of electrical or water jet parts might malfunction due to the high load of particulates unless the filter medium is periodically replaced. In this study, the use of axial-flow cyclone was proposed for particulate filter unit in the AHU for its low operation and maintenance cost. Novel shape of axial-flow cyclone was designed by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The shape of vortex vane was optimized in terms of pressure drop and tangential velocity. In addition, CFD analysis was validated experimentally through the pressure drop measurement of mock-up model. We found that pressure drop and tangential velocity of fluid through the axia-flow cyclone was significantly affected by the rotating degree of vortex vane and the numerical prediction of pressure drop agreed well with experimental measurement.

Carbonized rice husk(char from rice husk) can be used to improve soils for planting, seedlings, horiculture, pomiculture and truck gardening. Although it is not a fertilizer in nature, it stimulates the growth of plants. Carbonized rice husk is highly recommended for raising soil/water temperature, keeping moisture and aerating roots of plants. The objective of this study was to develop the effective production method of carbonized rice husks by a non-slagging vertical cyclone combustor. A cyclone combustor w vortex collecor Pocket in addition to central collector pocket was selected and tested. Isothermal tests and mixed firing with LPG and rice husk were performed in order to characterize the system. hut rice husk was used during the isothermal test to find the mass collected of rice husk.

본 연구에서는 배연가스속에 함유되어 있는 휘발성 유기화합물과 입자물질 등의 오염물질을 보텍스 사이클론의 원리를 이용하여 동시에 제거하는 메카니즘을 규명하고 나아가 효율을 높이기 위한 영향인자들을 분석 하였다. 보텍스 사이클론 속에 접선방향으로 압축된 공기를 주입함으로써 Joule-Thomson 팽창에 의하여 형성된 저온부분에서 페놀, 탄산가스 및 수분이 활성탄소 입자표면에 응집, 응축 및 흡착이 일어나도록 하였다. 활성탄소와 같은 입자물질은 쉽게 응축될 수 있는 물질들이 저절로 응집이나 응축은 입자물질의 입경이 증가함에 따라 속도는 급속도로 빨라져서 제거효율이 상승된다. 본 연구실험에서 탄산가스와 페놀의 제거효율은 각각 87.3%와 93.8%로 얻어졌다. 그리고 페놀 제거효율은 톨루엔과는 달리 상대습도의 증가에 따라 함께 증가되었고, 활성탄의 주입으로 제거효율도 증폭되었다. Joule-Thomson 계수는 상대습도 10%~50% 범위에서는 도입되는 압력이 높아짐에 따라 같이 상승하였다. 실험의 결과로는 도입되는 압력과 수분이 보텍스 사이클론의 처리효율에 미치는 영향은 공기 속에 함유되어 있는 대상물질의 물리화학적 특성과 입자물질의 특성에 따라 많은 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있고, 따라서 휘발성 유기화합물의 제거효율은 수분의 양과 입자물질의 물리화학적 특성을 조절함으로 제어할 수 있다고 판단된다.

고효율 싸이클론의 설계는 압력강하의 최소화와 집진효율의 최대화를 이루는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 고온, 고압 조건하에서 신뢰성 있는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하여 싸이클론의 집진효율에 영향을 주는 물리적 메카니즘을 연구하는 것이다. 수치 해석적 연구를 통한 고온, 고압 조건에서의 압력강하 계산은 실험데이터와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 온도와 압력은 일반적으로 집진효율에 중요한 영향을 미치는데 보통 항력에서 가스의 밀도나 점도 등에 영향을 주어서로 상반되는 결과를 나타낸다. 그러므로 고온 운전에 따른 집진효율의 감소는 고압 조건으로 운전하는 것이 대안이 될 것으로 판단된다. 집진효율에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 좀 더 세부적인 연구를 위하여 접선방향 속도나 보텍스 파인더의 직경 등과 같은 싸이클론의 설계변수나 운전변수에 따른 연구를 수행하였다. 예상한 바와 같이 접선방향의 속도가 집진효율에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 그리고 보텍스 파인더의 직경이 증가할수록 집진효율은 감소하였으며 보텍스 파인더의 길이는 집진효율에 큰 영향을 나타내지 않았다.

One of effective utilization method of rice husk is to utilize it as culture material by carbonizing the rice husk. As a second part of a series to investigate the effective and continuous production of carbonized rice husk by a cyclone combustor, a non-slagging vertical cyclone combustor without vortex collector pocket was introduced. Isothermal and mixed firing with LPG and rice husk were undertaken in order to characterize the system. Inert rice husk was used during the isothermal test to find mass of rice husk collected. It was impossible to ignite rice husk itself over the experimental conditions considered in this experiment. Cyclone combustor was operated at temperatures of 1,273~1,473K. Detailed combustion data were obtained from a pilot unit with the air flow rate of 70m$^3$/h and rice husk feed of 2kg. The equivalence ratio ranged from 0.66 to 3.48. The auxiliary gas flow rate was varied from 3.22 to 12.86$\ell$/min. The weight reduction, pH and particle size distribution of carbonized rice husk were measured to evaluate the quality of carbonized rice husk. An analysis of exhaust gas emission was conducted to characterize the combustor. The required carbonized rice husk could be obtained at equivalence ratio of 1.68~2.17, combustor temperature of 1,273~1,373K and auxiliary gas flow rate of 3.22~6.43$\ell$/min. A method to reduce CO emissions should be employed.
