Liquid fossil fuel contaminated by water can cause trouble in the combustion processes and affect the endurance of a combustion system. Using an optical sensor to monitor the water content instantaneously in a fuel pipeline is an effective means of controlling the fuel quality in a combustion system. In two component liquid flows of oil and water, the flow pattern and characteristics of water droplets are changed with various flow conditions. Additionally, the light scattering of the optical sensor measuring the water content is also dependent on the flow patterns and droplet characteristics. Therefore, it is important to investigate the detailed behavior of water droplets in the pipeline of the fuel transportation system. In this study, the flow patterns and characteristics of water droplets in the turbulent pipe flow of two component liquids of gasoline and water were investigated using optical measurements. The dispersion of water droplets in the gasoline flow was visualized, and the size and velocity distributions of water droplets were simultaneously measured by the phase Doppler technique. The Reynolds number of the gasoline pipe flow varied in the range of $4{\times}10^{4}\;to\;1{\times}10^{3}$, and the water content varied in the range of 50 ppm to 300 ppm. The water droplets were spherical and dispersed homogeneously in all variables of this experiment. The velocity of water droplets was not dependent on the droplet size and the mean velocity of droplets was equal to that of the gasoline flow. The mean diameter of water droplets decreased and the number density increased with the Reynolds number of the gasoline flow.

In the present study, the dispersion characteristics of hydrogen leakage from a Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) were analyzed by numerical simulation in order to assess the risk of a hydrogen leakage incident in a long road tunnel. In order to implement the worst case of hydrogen leakage, the FCV was located at the center of a tunnel, and hydrogen was completely discharged within 63 seconds. The Leakage velocity of hydrogen was adopted sub-sonic speed because that the assumption of the blockage effect of secondary device inside a vehicle. The temporal and spatial evaluation of the hydrogen concentration as well as the flammable region in a road tunnel was reported according to change of ventilation operating conditions. The hydrogen was blended by supply air form a ventilation fan, however, the hydrogen was discharged to outside in the exhaust air. It is observed that the efficiency way to eliminate of hydrogen is supply air operating condition under the hazardous hydrogen leaking incident. The present numerical analysis can be provided useful information of ventilation under the hydrogen leaking situation.

Spray visualization and computer simulation of a DME injector have been conducted to investigate the enlarged injection hole diameter effect. To increase the reliability of the computational result, simulation results have been compared with the visualization test results, and the behaviors of a DME spray under various high-pressure and -temperature conditions have been computed. This study shows a discrepancy of 3.57% between the experimental and the computational results of penetration length for an injection pressure of 35 MPa and ambient pressure of 5 MPa. When simulating the engine conditions, the maximum penetration length of a fully developed DME spray is 42 mm when the temperature to pressure ratio is 300 K/MPa. The DME spray behavior is dominantly affected by the ambient pressure under the condition that the ratio is less than 300 K/MPa, and by the ambient temperature under the condition that the ratio is more than 300 K/MPa.

In this research, polysulfone hollow fiber membrane was used to recover $CO_2$ which is one of greenhouse gases from flue gas stream being emitted after the combustion of fossil fuels. The prerequisite requirement is to design the membrane process producing high-purity $CO_2$ from flue gas. For separation of $CO_2$, a membrane module and flue gas containing 10% carbon dioxide was used. The effects of operating conditions such as pressure, temperature, feed gas composition and multi-stage membrane on separation performance were examined at various stage cuts. Higher operating pressure and temperature increased carbon dioxide concentration and recovery ratio in permeate. Recovery ratio and separation efficiency increased if a higher content of $CO_2$ injection gas composition. Three-stage membrane system was producing a 95% $CO_2$ with 90% recovery from flue gas. The separation efficiency of three-stage membrane system was higher than one-stage system.

A general combustion characteristics of forcing nonpremixed jet in laminar flow rates have been conducted experimentally to investigate the effect of forcing amplitude with the resonant frequency of fuel tube. There are two patterns of the flame lift-off feature according to the velocity increasing; one has the decreasing values of forcing amplitude on the lift-off occurrence when a fuel exit velocity is increasing, while the other has the increasing values. These mean that there are the different mechanisms in the lift-off stability of forced jet diffusion flame. Especially, the characteristics of attached jet flame regime are concentrically observed with flame lengths, shapes, flow response and velocity profiles at the nozzle exit as the central figure. The notable observations are that the flame enlogation, in-homing flame and the occurrence of a vortical motion turnabout have happened according to the increase of forcing amplitude. It is understood by the velocity measurements and visualization methods that these phenomena have been relevance to an entrainment of surrounding oxygen into the fuel nozzle as the negative part of the fluctuating velocity has begun at the inner part of the fuel nozzle.

The high temperature occurs due to the combustion gas from engine in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The high temperature may cause serious damages in UAV structure. The Functionally Graded Material (FGM) is chosen as a candidate material of the engine duct structure. A functionally graded material (FGM) is a two- component mixture composed by compositional gradient materials from one material to the other. In contrast, traditional composite materials are homogeneous mixtures, and involve compositions between the desirable properties of the component materials. Since significant proportions of an FGM contain the pure form of each material, the need for compromise is eliminated. The properties of both components can be fully utilized. Thermal stress analysis of FGM layers (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100) is performed in this paper. In addition, the creep behavior of FGM applied in duct structure of an engine is analyzed for better understanding of FGM characteristics.

알루미늄 합금은 내구성과 내식성이 우수한 경량 재료이다. 그 중 Al-Mg계 5083 Al 합금은 가공성 및 용접성이 우수하여 선체 재료로 널리 이용되고 있다. 이는 선체 중량의 경량화로 인해, 연료비 절감과 빠른 선속 등 다양한 이점을 지니기 때문이다. 그러나 선박의 고속화에 따라 선체에 가해지는 유체충격이 증가하고, 압력 저하에 기인하여 캐비테이션-침식 손상이 증가할 뿐만 아니라, 염소이온이 존재하는 해수환경에서는 침식과 부식의 시너지효과로 인하여 재료의 손상이 더욱 가속화된다. 이에 대한 다양한 방지책들이 제안되고 있으나, 강한 충격압을 동반한 캐비테이션 침식-부식 복합 손상 환경에서는 다소 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 5083에 대하여 캐비테이션 환경 하에서 일정 전위를 인가하며 침식-부식 손상이 최소화 되는 전위 구간을 규명하고자 하였다. 먼저, 분극 실험을 선행하여 재료의 전기화학적 거동을 파악 한 후 적용 전위구간을 선정하여, 해당 전위를 인가한 상태에서 캐비테이션 실험을 실시하였다. 전기화학적 분극실험과 캐비테이션-전기화학 복합 실험은 $25^{\circ}C$의 해수 하에서 실시하였으며, 시험편의 노출면적은 $3.24cm^2$으로 하였다. 분극 실험은 개로전위로부터 +3 V까지 2 mV/s의 분극속도로 전위를 인가하였고, 기준전극으로 Ag/AgCl, 대극으로 백금전극을 사용하였다. 캐비테이션-전기화학 복합 실험은 정전위를 인가한 상태에서 대향형 진동법으로 진동수 20 kHz, 진폭 $30{\mu}m$ 진동을 20분간 가하였으며, 혼팁과 시험편 사이의 거리는 1 mm로 일정하게 유지하였다. 실험 후 표면 손상의 정량적 분석을 위해 인가된 전위별 전류밀도를 비교하고, 무게감소량을 측정하였으며, 손상경향 파악을 위하여 3D광학현미경과 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 통해 표면을 분석하였다.

Cr-Mo 합금강은 고온 환경 하에서 높은 크리이프 강도와 우수한 내식성 때문에 발전설비, 석유 화학, 그리고 해양산업과 같은 여러 산업분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, Cr-Mo 강의 내식성은 합금 내 Cr 함량에 크게 의존한다. 이는 고온에서 Cr과 O가 화학적 반응을 일으킴에 따라 보호성의 Cr 산화스케일을 형성하기 때문이다. 그러나 화석연료를 사용하는 발전설비의 경우, $SO_2$가 포함된 강한 부식성의 연소 가스가 배출되며, 이에 노출된 금속의 표면에서는 산화와 황화가 동시에 발생한다. 황화스케일은 산화스케일에 비해 매우 빠르게 성장하며, 그 특성이 매우 취약하기 때문에 황화 환경에서 금속의 내식성 및 기계적 물성치는 보다 크게 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화력 발전소의 증기발생용 튜브 재료인 9Cr-1MoVNb 강을 선정하였으며, $SO_2$ 가스 환경 하에서의 부식 및 기계적 물성치 저하 특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 9Cr-1MoVNb강의 화학 성분 조성은 0.1 C, 0.38 Si, 0.46 Mn, 0.25 Ni, 8.38 Cr, 0.93 Mo, 0.18 V, 0.09 Nb, 그리고 나머지는 Fe이다. 부식시험은 가공된 미소시험편과 인장시험편을 전기열처리로에 장입한 후, $650^{\circ}C$에서 $N_2+O_2+O_2+SO_2$ 조성의 가스를 분당 50 CC로 흘려주었다. 제작된 시험편에 대한 부식거동은 무게 증가량, optical microscope, scanning electron microsope, 그리고 energy dispersive x-ray spectrum을 통해 평가하였다. 그리고 기계적 물성치 평가를 위한 인장시험은 분당 2mm 변위제어를 통해 실시하였다. 그 결과, 9Cr-1MoVNb 강은 $SO_2$ 가스 환경 하에서 비 보호적인 Fe-풍부상의 산화 스케일층이 두껍게 형성됨에 따라 열악한 내식성을 나타냈다. 그에 따라 기계적 물성치는 저하되는 경향을 나타내었다.

A gasoline direct injection engine has an intake air temperature can be lowered by the fuel vaporization in the combustion chamber increase the volume efficiency is high compression ratio. Therefore, study for injection rate and characteristics which influence mixture formation in combustion chamber is important. Movement of the injector needle has a direct effect on the injection of the fuel, such as formation of cavitation, the fuel injection rate, etc. Therefore, recent studies on the dynamic characteristics of the injector considering the movement of the needle have been reported, but it takes a lot of time and cost to experimentally confirm the movement of the needle inside the injector. In this study, AMESim, a commercial 1-D code, and Star-CCM+, a 3-D CFD code, were used to predict the dynamic performance of the injector with needle motion. In order to predict the movement of the needle under the high pressure, the result of the surface pressure distribution according to the movement of the needle was derived by using the morphing technique of flow analysis. In addition, we predicted the injection rate of the injector considering the movement of the needle in conjunction with the 1-D code. The injection rate of the injector was measured by the BOSCH's method and the results were similar to those of the simulation results. This method can predict the injection rate and injection characteristics and this result is expected to be used to predict the performance of gasoline direct injection engines with low cost and time in the future.

This paper deals with the FE analysis for the free vibration of sloshing in horizontal cylindrical tank with baffles. We use Laplace equation based on potential theory as governing equation. This problem is solved by FEM using lineal isoparametric elements. We assume that the tank as well as baffles is rigid body and by separating nodes into two at the baffle location, baffle effect is obtained by separating nodes into two at the baffle location. For the calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes, we introduce Lanczos transformation and Jacobi iteration methods. Numerical results of the first longitudinal and transverse modes, while comparing with literature cited, are very good. In order for the baffle effects on the free vibration of sloshing, various combinations of baffle parameters, which are location, inner diameter and number, are examined.
