In order to enhance the heat/mass transfer, a turbulator has been installed at the exit of injection hole for the impingement/effusion cooling system. The local heat/mass transfer coefficients have been obtained by a naphthalene sublimation method. Experiments have been carried out at the fixed jet Reynolds number of 10,000. Two turbulators with different diameter have been used in the current study. The result presents that the turbulator leads to the increase in flow mixing and jet velocity, consequently enhancing the heat/mass transfer at a stagnation region. Further, the stagnation region is divided into four small areas with peak value. In the existence of initial crossflow, the stagnation regions move downstream and low heat/mass transfer regions are formed regardless of the installation of turbulator. However, the increased jet velocity by turbulator reduces the crossflow effect against the jet, resulting in decrease of low heat/mass transfer regions. Compared to the case without turbulator, the installation of turbulator yields $5{\sim}10%$ augmentation in averaged Sh value.

A study on the elution characteristics of biostimulating agents (sulfate and nitrate) from biostimulants which are used for in-situ bioremediation for the coastal sediment contaminated with organic matter was performed. The biostimulating agents were mixed with the coastal sediment, and then massed the mixture into ball. Two kinds of ball type biostimulant were prepared by coating the ball surface with two different polymers, cellulose acetate and polysulfone. A granular type biostimulant (GTB) was also prepared by impregnating a granular activated carbon in the biostimulating agent solution. The image of scanning electron microscopy for the biostimulant coated with cellulose acetate (CAB) showed that the inner side of the coating layer consisted of irregular and bigger size of pores, and the surface layer had tight structure like beehive. For the biostimulant coated with polyfulfone (PSB), the whole coating layer had a fine structure without pore. The elution rate of the biostimulating agents for the CAB was higher than that for the PSB, and the elution rate for the GTB was considerably higher than that for the PSB in distilled water as well as in sea water. The elution rate of the biostimulating agents in turbulent water flow was about 3 times higher than that in standing water, and the elution rate of nitrate was higher than that of sulfate from the stimulating agents.

We prepared biostimulant balls using sea sediment mixed with biostimulants viz acetate, nitrate and sulfate. The Biostimulant balls were coated with Cellulose Acetate (CA) and Polysulfone (PS) to control the release of the biostimulants. SEM images showed that CA coating was porous and irregular in the inside and very uniform and tight like beehive while PS coating was the same in the inside and outside and not porous. Biostimulants release was found to be high in sea water compared to distilled water. The release of nitrate was higher compared to sulfate. In turbulent environment the release of bionutrients was 50% higher than static environment.

The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of jet flow and heat transfer caused by trapezoid rods array in impinging jet system. In this study, trapezoid rods have been set up in front of flat plate to serve as a turbulence promoter. The bottom width of trapezoid rod was W=4, 8 mm and oblique angle were 80$^{\circ}$. The space from rods to the heating surface was C=1, 2, 4 mm, the pitch between each rods was P=30, 40, 50 mm, and the distance from nozzle exit to flat plate was H=100, 500 mm. This results were compared with the case without trapezoid rods. As a result, when rods are installed in front of the impinging plate, the acceleration of the jet flow and the eddies due to the rods seem to contribute to the heat transfer enhancement. Among test conditions, the heat transfer performance was best for the condition of W=8 mm, C=1 mm, P=30 mm and H/B=10. The maximum heat transfer rate is about 1.9 times larger than that without trapezoid rods.

A series of combustion test was done to verify the optimization result of a gas generator for a 10 ton thrust liquid rocket engine. An injector element is F-O-F impinging type injector and the test was conducted with kerosene/LOX propellants. Test results of combustion temperature and pressure show a very good agreement with optimal design result and verify that the design method was properly established. And turbulence ring revealed its effectiveness in enhancing combustion gas mixing and temperature difference in the radial direction showed only less than 15K. Also turbulence ring induced only 3.2% pressure loss in the combustion chamber, which is far less than conventional level observed in a gas turbine engine. Axial temperature distribution also shows that turbulence ring could effectively reduce about 10% or more in gas generator length if its location is properly selected.

On the hypothesis that the unstable intermediates yield by the pre-reaction of auxiliary fuel become an initiator or an explosive center which promotes the chain reaction of main fuel, various organic compounds below $C_{10}$ are injected as an auxiliary fuel prior to main injection. In the previous papers, the effects of the auxiliary fuel additions on the ignition delay period, the stability of flame, the NO concentrations in their exhaust gases have been investigated. In the present paper, to confirm where the most suitable location of lean pre-mixture for the combustion of main fuel is, and how the lean pre-mixture is contacted with main fuel, the effects of the injection timing of auxiliary fuel and the turbulence on combustion processes are investigated. Moreover, from the schlieren and color photographs of flame in the combution field, it could be found that the ignition nuclei are formed in a wider region of main spray, and that these ignition nuclei promote the development of flame, which results in the reduction of flaming duration.

The end-burning combustion field using impinging oxidizer injectors are analyzed with tangential type injectors in order to examine their mixing and combustion characteristics. The impinging type showed further improved mixing effect as well as the combustion efficiency compared to the previously studied tangential injector. A novel injector capable of delivering impinging and swirl effect is introduced in this study where it demonstrated that the grain coning effect can be avoided. It was found that the combined impinging and swirling flow would promote the radial mixing rate increasing the residence time and the turbulent intensity. However, the use of the step combustor which may augment the turbulent intensity did not show any notable difference compared to the basic combustor.

The pressure drop characteristics in a rotating two-pass duct with rib turbulators are investigated in the present study. The square duct has a hydraulic diameter $(D_h)$ of 26.7 mm, and $1.5mm{\times}1.5mm$ square $90^{\circ}-rib$ turbulators are attached on the leading and trailing walls. The pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) is 10. The distance between the tip of the divider and the outer wall of the duct is $1.0D_h$ and the width of divider wall is 6.0mm or $0.225D_h$. The Reynolds number (Re) based on the hydraulic diameter is kept constant at 10,000 to exclude the Reynolds effect, and the rotation number (Ro) is varied from 0.0 to 0.20. The pressure drop distribution, the friction factor and thermal performance are presented for the leading, trailing and the outer surfaces. It is found that the curvature of the $180^{\circ}$-turn produces Dean vortices that cause high pressure drop in the turn. The channel rotation results in pressure drop discrepancy between leading and trailing surfaces so that non-dimensional pressure drops are higher on the trailing surface in the first-pass and on the leading and side surfaces in the second-pass. In the turning region, Dean vortices shown in the stationary case transform into one large asymmetric vortex cell, and subsequent pressure drop characteristics also change. As the rotation number increases, the pressure drop discrepancy enlarges.

The hybrid rocket shows interesting characteristics of complicated mixing layer developed by the interaction between turbulent oxidizer flow and injected surface mass flow from fuel vaporization. In this study, the compressible LES was conducted to explore the physical phenomena of surface oscillatory flow induced by the flow interferences in a duct domain. From the numerical results, the wall injection generates the stronger streamwise vorticites and the negative components of axial velocity accompanied with the azimuthal vorticity near the surface. And the vortex shedding with a certain time scale was found to be developed by hydrodynamic instability in the mixing layer. The pressure fluctuations in this calculation exhibit a peculiar peak at a specific angular frequency($\omega$=8.8) representing intrinsic oscillation due to the injection.
