Effects of the nozzle wall angles on the supersonic flow field in a thrust optimized nozzle were numerically investigated. The combustor and operating condition of 30-tonf rocket engine was selected to study the optimum nozzle shape. The nozzle flow of combustion products was realized by the shifting equilibrium calculation for the propellant of kerosene-LOx. The change of nozzle wall angles induced different developing patterns of the internal and secondary shock wave. The optimum nozzle was obtained when the internal shock was in a specific position at the nozzle outlet. The nozzle wall angles of the optimum nozzle were very similar to those of the optimum nozzle which does not consider the shock wave.

In this study, a numerical study was conducted to characterize the E-D nozzle which changes according to the nozzle pressure ratios. Three different numerical analysis models were designed by changing the pintle inflection angles. When the nozzle pressure ratio is low, the outside air flows into the E-D nozzle to form an open flow field. As the nozzle pressure ratio increases, the flow transition occurs to become the closed flow field where the recirculation region is isolated inside the nozzle. Also, the highest thrust coefficient was obtained in the analytical model with high pintle inflection angle at all nozzle pressure ratios.

The objective of this study is to investigate the combustion characteristics of dual type of sintering burner as a function of design parameters using lab-scale sintering burner through experimental and numerical approaches. Combustion characteristics were evaluated by the radical method. The numerical model was verified as a temperature using R type of thermocouple at the bed surface. The effect of nozzle distance and angle were performed through the CFD analysis, and the comparison of burner types. As a results, dual type burner has more wider and uniform flame distribution than single type burner. Asymmetry and 45 degree angle condition have been suggested as an optimal condition for the ignition of the sintering bed surface.

In this study, the flow characteristics of an injection nozzle installed in a high-pressure holder for improving productivity were determined. The inlet velocity, nozzle inflow angle, and nozzle outlet diameter were selected as design factors having an influence on the flow characteristics, and numerical analysis was conducted for these factors. As the inlet velocity is high and the nozzle outlet diameter is small, the pressure and velocity of the injected flow are high. In the case of the nozzle inflow angle, the variation of flow characteristics according to angle was slight, but the highest pressure and velocity were found at $15^{\circ}$. In addition, the possibility of chip elimination by the injected flow was analyzed on the basis of the numerical results.

Emission regulations have been strengthened step by step for marine engines. A noble measure is required both inside and outside of the combustion chamber. The combustion characteristics in cylinder have a very close relationship with the exhaust emission characteristics. Injection valve and nozzle hole geometry is an important factor for combustion. The study to improve the spray characteristics has concentrated on nozzle inlet geometry and nozzle hole diameter, but the exit geometry has not considered. In this study the nozzle exit angle variation was tested. The results show that the angle between $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ is more effective than the other cases.

For the design of the shortened ED(Expansion Deflection) nozzle, a numerical study of ED nozzle was performed according to the length reduction methods. The first method is to reduce the extension length of the ED nozzle with 80% bell nozzle length by 10%, 20% and 30%. The second method is to shorten the extension length by increasing the nozzle throat angle. Due to the increase in the curvature of the contour as the length shortened, the decrease in the nozzle exit velocity between the ED nozzle with 80% bell nozzle length and the ED nozzle in the first method was reduced, and the thrust become similar. The ED nozzle of the second method increased the thrust by increasing the nozzle exit velocity compared to the ED nozzle with 80% bell nozzle length.

Numerical analysis was done to evaluate the fluid distribution inside of the mixing quencher to increase the reaction efficiency of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in the scrubbing column which is used for simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification. Effective injection of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) solution in the mixing quencher has major effects for improving the reaction efficiency in the scrubbing column by enhancing the mixing of the aqueous $H_2O_2$ solution with the exhaust gas. The current study is to optimize the array of nozzles and the spray angles of the aqueous $H_2O_2$ solution in the mixing quencher by using the computational method. Main concerns of the analysis are how to enhance the uniformity of the $H_2O_2$ concentration distribution in the internal flow. Numerical analysis was done to check the distribution of the internal flow in the mixing quencher in terms of RMS values of the $H_2O_2$ concentration at the end of quencher. The concentration distribution of $H_2O_2$ at the end of is evaluated with respect to the different array of the nozzle pipes and the nozzle tip angles, and we also analyzed the turbulence formation and fluid mixing in the zone. The effect of the spray angle was evaluated with respect to the mixing efficiency in different flow directions. The optimized mixing quencher had the nozzle array at location of 0.3 m from the inlet duct surface and the spray angle is $15^{\circ}$ with the co-current flow. The RMS value of the $H_2O_2$ concentration at the end of the mixing quencher was 12.4%.

A MILD (Moderate and Intense Low oxygen Dilution) combustion, which is effective in the reduction of NOx, is considerably affected by the recirculation flow rate of hot exhaust gas to the combustion furnace. The present study used the MILD combustor, which has coaxial cylindrical tube. The outside tube of the MILD combustor corresponds to the exhaust gas passage and the inner side tube is the furnace passage. A numerical analysis was accomplished to elucidate the characteristics of exhaust gas entrainment toward the inner furnace with the changes of coanda nozzle geometrical parameters, nozzle passage gap length, nozzle passage length, nozzle angle and expansion length. The optimal configuration of coanda nozzle for the best entrainment flow rate was gap length, 0.5 mm, expansion angle, 4o and expansion length, 146 mm. The nozzle passage length was irrelevant to the exhaust gas entrainement.

This study performs a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the inner flow of a multihole injector nozzle by using ANSYS CFX 13.0. Based on the obtained results, a design of experiment (DOE) was performed and applied to investigate the effects of injector nozzle design parameters on cavitation. To analyze the design sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio), the hole diameter, hole length, hole angle, and K-factor of the nozzle hole were selected as design parameters, and the effect of these parameters was investigated at 16 experimental points. Consequently, it was found that the effect of the K-factor on the cavitation and inner flow of the injector nozzle is the greatest. Thus, the selection of a suitable K-factor is important in nozzle design considering cavitation flow.
