Cooling characteristics are investigated numerically in the chamber for high-performance burnout of wastes with solid phase. Before the combustion chamber is manufactured, combustion analysis is performed for evaluation of burning rate and cooling performance. A water cooling method is applied and its feasibility for cooling is examined depending on coolant flow rate. Another method of complex cooling is adopted by combining air film cooling with water cooling, leading to improved cooling performance.

영광 3호기의 정지냉각펌프 성능감시 설비로는 펌프 유량계, 입구압, 출구압, 모터전류 등이 있으며 현장에서 펌프의 소음 감시나 진동 측정 등을 통하여 펌프 건전성을 확인할 수 있다. 부분충수운전중 여러 연구결과 제시된 펌프의 이상징후 증상은 펌프의 소음 증가, 유량계 또는 모터전류의 불규칙 요동이 있으나 정량적인 값을 제시하지 못하고 있으며 공기유입량에 대한 운전제한 근거만 정량적으로 제시되고 있다. 즉, WCAP-l1916에 따른 펌프의 손상 판단 근거는 연속적인 공기 흡입의 경우 2%이내, 간헐적인 공기흡입의 경우 5%를 제시하고 있다. 영광 3 호기의 부분충수운전시 펌프 입구압력을 제외한 다른 펌프 성능감시 변수들은 허용오차 이내로 별다른 펌프 이상 징후를 발견하지 못하였다. 그러나 펌프 입구압력 기록계의 입구압력 및 진동폭 변화는 정지냉각유량률, RCS 수위, 증기발생기 노즐댐 설치 유무에 따라 민감한 변화를 보여주었으며, 펌프의 건전성 감시에 가장 효과적인 변수임을 보여주었다.

A preliminary， study of low temperature condition was performed to simulate high altitude condition. The mixed air temperature were investigated at various condition by experiments using cryogenic air by heat exchanger and normal temperature air. An experimental setup was constructed to simulate low temperature condition with liquid nitrogen. To control mass flow rate, orifice and pressure regulators were used. The experimental results show that the mixed air temperature increases linearly with mass flow rate of normal temperature air. Therefore it can be help to simulate a low temperature condition of high altitude.

Evaporative cooling is a very effective way for exhaust heat recovery that uses both latent heat and sensible heat. This study investigated the performance of a heat recovery system using evaporative cooling. The experimental apparatus comprised a plastic heat exchanger, a water spray nozzle, an air blowing fan, a water circulation pump, and measuring sensors for the temperature, humidity, and flow rate. The effectiveness of the sensible heat recovery without evaporation was measured and compared with that of the total heat recovery with evaporation. The effectiveness of the sensible and total heat recoveries decreased as the air flow rate increased, and a much higher effectiveness was obtained with the counterflow arrangement in both cases. For total heat recovery, the effectiveness increased with the water flow rate, and the parallel flow arrangement was found to be more sensitive to the water flow rate than the counterflow arrangement.

Previous plastic heat exchangers are expensive because the mold must be newly manufactured depending on the air conditioning space. On the other hand, danpla is so thin that the heat exchange performance is excellent. Moreover, danpla can be used easily in ventilation systems in view of fabrication. This study proposes correlations for the cooling performance of an indirect evaporative cooling system. The experimental apparatus consisted of a heat exchanger, spray nozzle, fan, thermostat, pump, and measuring sensors for temperature, humidity, and airflow rate. The results showed that the effectiveness decreased gradually as the airflow rate increased. In addition, there was an optimal condition in terms of effectiveness. The performance prediction correlations were determined using the experimental data from various conditions. The proposed correlations showed performance accuracies within 4 % error.

Increasing heat generation in CPUs can hamper effective recirculation and by-pass because of the large temperature difference between the exhaust and the intake air through a server room. This increases the overall temperature inside a data center and decreases the efficiency of the data center's cooling system. The purpose of the data center's cooling system is to separate the intake and exhaust air by controlling the computer room air-conditioner(CRAC). In this study, ICEPAK is used to conduct a numerical analysis of a data center's cooling system. The temperature distribution and the entire room are analyzed for different volumetric flow rates. The optimized volumetric flow rate is found for each CPU power. The heat removal and temperature distribution for CPU powers of 100, 120, and 140 W are found to be the best for a volumetric flow rate of $0.15m^3/s$. The numerical analysis is verified through RTI indicators, and the results appear to be the most reliable when the RTI value is 81.

In a passive-type PEMFC stack, axial fans operate to supply both oxidant and coolant to cathode side of the stack. It is possible to make a simple system because the passive-type PEMFC stack does not require additional cooling equipment. However, the performance of a cooling system in which water is used as a coolant is better than that of the air-cooling system. To ensure system reliability, it is essential to make cooling system effective by adopting an optimal stack design. In this study, a numerical investigation has been carried out to identify an optimum cooling strategy. Various channel configurations were applied to the test section. The passive-type PEMFC was tested by varying airflow rate distribution at the cathode side and external heat transfer coefficient of the stack. The best cooling performance was achieved when a channel with thick ribs was used, and the overheating at the center of the stack was reduced when a case in which airflow was concentrated at the middle of the stack was used.

The pre-swirl system is the device that minimizes energy loss of turbine cooling airflow from the stationary parts into rotating parts. In this paper, an off-design analysis was conducted for the ambient air temperature and turbine load conditions. The discharge coefficient was constant for ambient air temperature and turbine load. However, adiabatic effectiveness was increased. This is due to the volume flow rate. The volume flow rate was increased at higher ambient temperature and higher turbine load. It means that the volume of cooling air was increased and the cooling performance of the air was improved. Consequently, adiabatic effectiveness increased by 30.46% at 100% turbine load compared to 20% turbine load. And increased by 18.42% at 55℃ ambient air temperature compared to -20℃ ambient air temperature.

Gasoline engine manufacturers are currently considering designs that will result in low combustion air temperature for improvement of fuel consumption and emission levels. There are a variety of cooling systems that can be used to accomplish this goal. Cooling is therefore normally achieved through a balance of ram and fan action. This paper studies the various systems and compare the cooling performance for several conditions, based on a automotive engine. An experimental analysis was developed to predict the interaction of the fan system and the heat exchangers of the engine cooling system. The local temperature induced by the fan on the cooling system is measured. These experimental result were accomplished using airflow management techniques.
