The propagation mechanism of a detonation pressure with fully coupled charge is clarified and the blasting pressure propagated in rock mass is derived from the application of shock wave theory. The blasting pressure was a function of detonation velocity, isentropic exponent, explosive density, Hugoniot parameters, and rock density. Probabilistic distribution is obtained by using explosion tests on emulsion and rock property tests on granite in Seoul and then the probabilistic distribution of the blasting pressure is derived from the above mentioned properties. The probabilistic distributions of explosive properties and rock properties show a normal distribution so that the blasting pressure propagated in rock can be also regarded as a normal distribution. Parametric analysis was performed to pinpoint the most influential parameter that affects the blasting pressure and it was found that the detonation velocity is the most sensitive parameter. Moreover, uncertainty analysis was performed to figure out the effect of each parameter uncertainty on the uncertainty of blasting pressure. Its result showed that uncertainty of natural rock properties constitutes the main portion of blasting pressure uncertainty rather than that of explosive properties. In other words, since rock property uncertainty is much larger than detonation velocity uncertainty the blasting pressure uncertainty is more influenced by the former than by the latter even though the detonation velocity is found to be the most influencing parameter on the blasting pressure.

To investigate the pressure dependence of minimum ignition energy(MIE), thermal ignition theory, concept of heat transfer, ideal gas law, and kinetic theory are discussed. Correlation equations for the MIE and pressure were obtained through a regression analysis of reported data. In the proposed methodology the predicted MIE with pressure variations agree with reported data within a few average absolute deviations(A.A.D.). Therefore the proposed methodology has provided to be the general method for predicting the MIE of hydrocarbons.

Gas volumetric fractions and pressure loss are very important parameters in understanding and predicting gas-liquid two-phase flows. They are also essential to design large heat exchanging system in many industries, boiler and refrigerating systems mounted at ships. This paper therefore presents a theoretical method of predicting the pressure loss and gas volumetric fractions in gas-liquid two-phase flows for the whole range of pipe inclinations. The theoretical analysis is based on the two-fluid stratified flow model. It also provides the results of the comparisons between this theoretical analysis results and previous experimental results.

A unsteady internal ballistic analysis model was proposed to take account for the variance of local variance of pressure and velocity along the grain surface of a hybrid rocket combustor. The model of concern in the study was fairly comparable with the test result. The local variation of the oxidizer mass flow rate along grain surface results in chamber pressure, regression rate, and gas velocity change along its flow direction.

In the present study, sloshing problem is analyzed by the application of Finite Difference Method. SOLA-SURF scheme is applied to the analysis of fluid motion considering free surface. Especially, the concept of impact buffer zone is introduced for the prediction of more realistic impact pressure on tank. Numerical computation is carried out for the typical three models, and the computed results show good agreement with experimental data. The computation is also performed for 300,000 tons VLCC as a real-ship application. From the present study, it is proved that this numerical technique is quite practical to the prediction of sloshing impact pressure.

In order to investigate the operating characteristics of a supersonic steam ejector, the axisymmetric, compressible, Reynolds-averaged, Wavier-Stokes computations are performed using a finite volume method. The secondary and back pressures of the ejector system with a second throat are changed to investigate their effects on the suction mass flow. Three operation modes of the steam ejector system, the critical mode, subcritical mode and back flow mode, are discussed to predict the critical suction mass flow. The present computations are validated with some experimental results. The secondary and back pressures of the supersonic steam ejector significantly affect the critical suction mass flow. The present computations predict the experimented critical mass flow with fairly good accuracy A good correlation is obtained for the critical suction mass flow. The present results show that provided the primary nozzle configuration and secondary pressure are blown, we can predict the critical mass flow with good accuracy.

The pressure difference across stenotic blood vessels is a commonly used clinical metric for diagnosing many cardiovascular diseases. At present, most clinical pressure measurements rely solely on invasive catheterization. In this study, we propose a novel method for non-invasive pressure estimation using the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and a 3D multi-path integration approach. We verify spatio-temporal convergence on an in-silico dataset of a cylindrical straight pipe phantom with steady and pulsatile flow fields. We then evaluate the proposed method on an in vitro dataset of reconstructed control, pre-operative, and post-operative carotid artery cases acquired from 4D flow MRI. The performance of our method is compared to existing approaches based on the pressure Poisson equation and work-energy relative pressure. The results demonstrate the proposed method's high accuracy, robustness to spatio-temporal subsampling, and reduced sensitivity to noise, highlighting its great potential for non-invasive pressure estimation.

빈 시스템에서 적정 팬을 선정하기 위해서, 빈에서 벼를 건조 혹은 통풍시킬 때 벼의 저항에 의해 발생되는 공기의 압력손실을 예측하는 모델을 개발하였다. 또한 벼의 건물 손실을 예측하기 위하여 벼의 호흡 모델을 개발하였다. 그리고 온도 및 습도 센서들을 이용한 자동계측 시스템을 사용하여 저장된 벼의 상태를 연속적으로 측정, 분석함으로써 벼의 통풍기준을 결정하고 이를 근거로 빈의 자동통풍 시스템을 개발하여 평가하였다. 공기의 정압 손실은 공기의 속도 및 벼의 함수율의 함수로서 나타내어졌으며, 일정 곡물 깊이에서 벼의 함수율이 낮을수록 그 정압손실은 증가하였다. 벼의 호흡에 의해 발생되는 이산화탄소의 양은 저장온도, 벼의 함수율, 저장 기간의 함수로서 나타낼 수 있었다. 벼의 안전 저장을 위해 곡물의 온도 및 함수율, 평형상대습도, 벼의 품질저하지수(deterioration index)에 대한 자동통풍 기준을 결정하였으며 이들을 이용해서 퍼스널 컴퓨터로 팬, 제습기 등의 통풍 장치들을 자동제어하는 자동통풍 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 곡물의 상태를 예측, 제어함으로써 14% 이하의 함수율과 4이하의 품질저하지수, 그리고 어떤 균류도 생성시키지 않음으로써 벼를 안전하게 저장할 수 있었다.

범용 전산유체해석(computational fluid dynamics) 코드인 CFX를 이용하여 지지격자 형상에 따른 봉다발 부수로에서의 난류유동 수치해석을 수행하였다 ABB와 SIMENS가 각각 개발한 split vane이 부착된 지지격자와 원자력연구소가 개발중인 회전유동 발생장치가 부착된 지지격자를 포함하는 부수로 난류유동을 분석하였다. 각각의 지지격자 형상에 대해 부수로에서의 축방향 속도, 횡방향 속도, 난류 운동에너지, 와류크기와 압력강하 둥을 비교-분석하였다. 세가지 경우 모두 유사한 경향을 나타냈으나 SIMENS split vane의 유동 전향날개가 크기때문에 와류와 압력강하가 다소 크게 예측되었다. 난류 운동에너지와 와류크기는 지지격자 근처에서 현저히 증가한 후 급격히 감소하는 측정결과를 CFX예측결과에서도 확인할 수 있었다. CFX 예측결과는 지지격자 근처에서 실험 결과와 다소 큰 차이를 보였으나 비교적 부수로 유동특성을 잘 나타낸다.
