In this study, the fire suppression characteristics of a water mist with natural wind in a road tunnel were calculated using the FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulation) code. In addition, the cooling and the chemical kinetic effects of water vapor on fire extinction ere investigated in a counterflow non-premixed flame using a detailed chemistry. As a result, the behavior of fire plume and the spray characteristics of water mist are modified remarkably with the increasing of wind velocity. In the case which is not the external natural wind, small droplets are more efficient in fire suppression than large droplets. However, the large droplets show better results on the fire suppression than the small droplets with the increasing of wind velocity. It can be estimated that the natural wind disturb the penetration of water droplets into the flame region and decrease the effect of oxygen dilution. Finally, it can be identified that the fire into the natural wind can be suppressed with smaller amount of $H_2O$ by flame stretching effect in the flame region than one in an enclosure, and the chemical kinetic effects of $H_2O$ on fire extinction are not affected significantly the velocity of natural wind.

포그냉방시스템에 관한 연구는 대부분 VETH선도 등을 이용하여 온실 환경이 전체적으로 동질이라는 가정하에서 환기량 및 전체 분무수량 등을 계산하는 정도였으나, 1990년대 중반에 들어서면서 CFD 기법을 이용하여 온실 환경을 보다 정확하게 해석할 목적으로 CFD 기법을 이용하는 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. (중략)

Extra heavy vacuum residue oil has advantage as the fuel of a power plant in reducing the cost of power generation. Numerical study is conducted by the KIVA code to understand combustion, heat transfer and flow field characteristics in the test reactor. The combustion model of pulverized coal particles is adopted as the combustion process of extra heavy oil is similar to that of coal. As an initial phase of investigation parametric study is performed with respect to SMD and spray angle of injected spray droplets.

The numerical method for the flow field of a gas atomization process is presented. For the analysis of the compressible supersonic jet flow of a gas. an axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a LU-factored upwind method. The MUSCL type TVD scheme is used for the discretization of inviscid flux, whereas Steger-Warming splitting and LU factorization is applied to the implicit operator. For the validation of the present method, we computed the flow field around the simple gas atomizer proposed by Issac. The numerical results has shown excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Performance of injector equiped with screw type swirler which is suitable for supersonic cruise engine combustor was investigated using theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods. Based on discharge coefficient and spray angle which represent the performance of injectors, the geometrical parameters which affect these performance parameters were defined, control group injectors were designed, and variation of performance parameters according to the geometrical parameters were examined. Within the defined range, measured value of performance of injectors was smaller than result of theoretical prediction, and prediction result from numerical simulation using VOF method agreed with the result of experiments very well. The viscous barrier was not observed, and minimum discharge coefficient and maximum spray angle, 0.05 and 104 respectively, was obtained for this type of injector.

A study on the measurement of critical heat flux using the transient inverse heat conduction method in spray cooling was performed. The inverse heat conduction method estimates the surface heat flux or temperature using a measured interior temperature history. The effects of the measuring time interval and location of temperature measurement on the measurement of critical heat flux were primarily investigated. The following results were obtained. The estimated critical heat flux decreased as the time interval of temperature measurement increased. Meanwhile, the effect of measurement location on critical heat flux was not significant. It was also found, from the experimental results, that the critical superheat increased as the measurement location of thermocouple neared the heat transfer surface.

Influences of the starting salts on the phase and morphology of the Pb(Zr, T)O$_3$powders prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis were studied. The Phases of the Powders Prepared from the combination of metal nitrate(or oxynitrate), acetate(or oxyacetate), and alkoxide were the Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_3$with or without minor PbTiO$_3$. The pores on the surface of the spherical particles increased with the nitrate content in the starting solution and their formation was thought to result from the decomposition characteristics of metal nitrate. Pb acetate, Zr oxyacetate, Ti oxynitrate, and Ti (isopropoxide+acetylacetonate) was suitable as the starting salts for the preparation of Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_3$powders by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis in the viewpoint of the phase and morphology of the powders.

Among various De-NOx technologies, Urea-based Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems are known to be the most effective in marine diesel applications. The spraying and mixing behavior of the urea-water solution has a decisive effect on the system's net efficiency. Therefore, in this study, the spray behavior and ammonia uniformity with and without a static mixer were analyzed by CFD in order to optimize the SCR system. The results showed that the static mixer significantly affected the uniformity of velocity and ammonia concentration. Static mixers may be especially suited for marine SCR systems with space constraints.

To date, the demand for Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) has been continuously increased to overcome the problem of air pollution and lack of energy. In particular, the underground CCPP is exposed to substantial fire and explosion risks induced by gas leakage. The present study conducted numerical simulations to examine the fire behavior and gas leakage characteristics for a restricted region including gas turbine and other components used in a typical CCPP system. The commercial code of FLUENT V.14 was used for simulation. From the results, it was found that flammable limit distribution of leakage gas affects fire behavior. Especially, the flame is propagated in an instant in restricted region with LNG gas. In addition, consequence analysis factors such as critical temperature and radiation heat flux are introduced. These results would be useful in making the safety guidelines for the underground CCPP.
