Membrane bioreactor(MBR) processes have been widely applied to wastewater treatment for last decades due to its excellent capability of solid-liquid separation. However, membrane fouling was considered as a limiting factor in wide application of the MBR process. Excess aeration into membrane surface is a common way to control membrane fouling in most MBR. However, the excessively supplied air is easily dissipated in the reactor, which results in consuming energy and thus, it should be modified for effective control of membrane fouling. In this study, cylindrical tube was introduced to MBR in order to use the supplied air effectively. Membrane fibers were immersed into the cylindrical tube. This makes the supplied air non-dissipated in the reactor so that membrane fouling could be controlled economically. Two different air supplying method was employed and compared each other; nozzle and porous diffuser which were located just beneath the membrane module. Transmembrane pressure(TMP) was monitored as a function of airflow rate, flux, and ratio of the tube area and cross-sectioned area of membrane fibers(A$_m$/A$_t$). Flow rate of air and liquid was regulated to obtain slug flow in the cylindrical tube. With the same flow of air supply, nozzle was more effective for controlling membrane fouling than porous diffuser. Accumulation of sludge was observed in the tube with the nozzle, if the air was not suppled sufficiently. Reduction of membrane fouling was dependent upon the ratio, A$_m$/A$_t$. For diffuser, membrane fouling was minimized when A$_m$/A$_t$ was 0.27, but 0.55 for nozzle.

Diesel engine injector is used for spraying the fuel into the cylinder chamber. Complex phenomenon like cavitation occurs from small scale domain, highly pressurized condition and rapid injection. Flow inside the nozzle affects the whole engine performance including combustion and exhaust, therefore understanding the flow inside the injector nozzle is very important. In this paper, cylindrical and convergent-divergent nozzles are suggested for nozzle types and their influences on nozzle internal flow and nozzle outlet characteristics will be analyzed by changing their outlet diameters.

Numerical analysis was conducted on thrust vector control using multi-nozzle system. The nozzle using flow valve switch to control mass flow of multi scarfed nozzle to manage thrust was considered. The operating characteristics of scarfed nozzle, thrust component and moment of multi nozzle in terms of mass flow rate were investigated by three dimensional flow simulation.

A study on the effect of engine nozzle configuration on the engine plume Infra-red (IR) signature characteristics is performed. Configuration design of an engine nozzle with high aspect ratio to reduce IR signature level and a cylindrical nozzle which is typically used for conventional aircraft which does not require IR signature reduction is performed. And CFD analysis for the two nozzles is performed to compare the flowfields characteristics of the two nozzles. Finally IR signature analysis for the two nozzles is accomplished to calculate the total intensity level at mid-wave infra-red and investigate the differences of IR signature characteristics between the two nozzles.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the internal nozzle flow and cavitation characteristics numerically in both circular and elliptical nozzles. The program FLUENT 6.2 was used to perform the numerical simulation of the cavitating flow in the nozzles. A comparison was made between the cavitation shapes predicted numerically and those found experimentally in order to validate the numerical solution. This study showed that the cavitation in the circular nozzle had a cylindrical shape that was symmetrical with the nozzle axis. However, the cavitation in the elliptical nozzles had a horseshoe-like shape. In addition, the radial velocity distribution varied between the major and the minor axis planes when the working fluid was flowing into the inlet.

In this paper a method for finding solutions of acoustic, vortex and entropy wave equations in a cylindrical tube with variable section area was suggested under the consideration of that the high frequency instability in a rocket engine combustion chamber is an acoustic phenomena, which Is coupled with combustion reaction. and that a combustion chamber and exhaust nozzle are usually shaped cylindrically As a consequence of that some method. which enable the mathematical analysis of the influence of entropy and vortex waves to acoustic wave. was suggested. According to the method reflection coefficients of acoustic wave on a supercritical nozzle was numerically calculated, through which it was presented that entropy or vortex waves can strengthen or weaken the reflection rate of acoustic wave.

감압증발의 효율을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 액주내의 기포생성에 의한 자기 미립화를 수반하는 과열액분류의 증발을 분사 감압증발이라고 하며, 특히 적절한 방법으로 액체내에 기포핵을 공급하는 경우에는 매우 좋은 증발성능이 얻어 진다는 것이 보고되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 온배수를 감압증발시켜 저온저압의 증기를 제조하여 MVR로부터 승온승압에 의해 고온의 증기를 얻기위한 것이 연구의 목적이므로, 증발효율향상을 위해 기포핵 공급용 전해전류장치를 설치하고, 감압증발용의 노즐을 원통형 튜브로 대체하기위해 튜브형 노즐로 부터 과열액을 급격히 감압시켜 자기미립화에 의한 증발을 유도하여 전해전류가 증발효율에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 연구하고자 작동액체로써 물을 사용하고, 액체온도, 액체유량, 과열도 및 기포핵 공급용의 전해전류량을 변화시켜 실험을 수행하였다.(중략)

복합재 연소관과 노즐을 기계적 체결방법으로 결합하면 결합부위에서 재료의 불연속성과 기하학적 불연속성으로 인한 높은 응력집중이 발생해 구조적으로 매우 취약하게 됩니다. 복합재 연소관의 경우에는 내압을 받는 원통형 구조물이므로 기존의 평판에 대한 연구결과를 그대로 사용할수 없으므로, 이 글에서는 복합재 셀 구조물의 응력 및 파손 해석을 수행할수 있도록 1차전단변형 셀이론을 이용한 유한요소해석 프로그램을 개발하였습니다. 기계적체결부위의 모델링에 대해 검토하였으며 복합재료의 파손평가에 사용되는 여러가지 파손식을 적용해 비교하였습니다. 이 해석 방법을 이용해 복합재 연소관의 적층각, 볼트직경, 연소관의 끝단까지의 길이 등이 파손하중에 미치는 영향을 제시하였습니다

In this paper, the two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional(3D) analyses have been performed in order to evaluate the structural integrities and compare 2D and 3D results for nozzles attached to cylindrical shells. Three nozzles, which are currently used in the nuclear power plant, are chosen to evaluate the structural integrities, and each nozzle is subjected to internal pressure, temperature variation and external loads. It is found that the 2D analysis for internal pressure should be performed with a factor of more than 1.5 or a stress concentration factor; 2D and 3D analysis results for temperature variation are almost similar to each other regardless of cladding; and the analysis results for external loads by WRC Bulletin 297 are more conservative than the 3D analysis results.
