인간이 생활하는데 필요한 전기를 생산하는 시설 중 하나인 화력발전소의 발전수차를 냉각시키기 위하여 많은 양의 냉각수를 바다에서 취수하게 되는데, 이 과정 중에서도 특히 흡입수조(Intake Basin)에서 흡입펌프(Suction Pump)를 통과하는 단계가 매우 중요하다. 흡입수조의 형상과 펌프운용조건 등에 의하여 흡입구(Bell Mouth)에 접근하는 유동이 비대칭일 경우 흡입구 주변에서 선회류가 발생하거나 유속분포가 비균일?비대칭이 되기 쉽다. 그러면 선회류가 더욱 악화되어 볼텍스(Vortex)로 발달되면 취수 펌프에 악영향을 준다. 또한 볼텍스의 발생은 흡입수조의 형상뿐만이 아니라 낮은 수위일 경우 수면과 흡입구의 거리가 짧아지면서 자유수면볼텍스 또는 수중볼텍스가 발생할 확률이 높아지게 된다. 본 연구에서 수리모형시험을 통하여 펌프 조합 및 수위 변화에 따른 볼텍스의 발생여부를 파악하고 볼텍스 저감장치를 고안하였다.

This paper investigated experimentally the performance of cooling systems using thermoelectric and piezoelectric modules for local heating and temperature control, such as a handheld electronic devices. The temperature distribution of the cooling region using thermoelectric modules was measured when the piezoelectric module was and was not with a frequency of 80Hz and 110Hz. The coefficients of performance were also calculated by the temperature results, and the thermo-flow phenomena in the cold region was visualized under the same conditions. The results of the temperature distribution measurements and the coefficient of performance showed that the cooling performance of the cooling system using thermoelectric modules can be improved by operating the piezoelectric module. In addition, when the piezoelectric module was operated based on the result of visualization in the cold region, which was formed by thermoelectric modules, the performance thermoelectric cooling was improved by the thermo-flow formed in the entire cold region as the forced convection of vibration was generated on the local cold region by the piezoelectric module.

As a turbulence-enhancing device, a mixing vane, which is installed at a spacer grid of the fuel assembly, plays an important role in improving convective heat transfer by generating either swirl flow in the subchannels or cross flow between the fuel rod gaps. Therefore, both the geometric configuration and the arrangement pattern of a mixing vane are important factors in determining the performance of a mixing vane. In this study, in order to examine the flow-distribution features inside a $5{\times}5$ fuel assembly with split-type mixing vanes, which was used in the benchmark calculation of the OECD/NEA, we conduct simulations using the commercial computational fluid dynamics software, ANSYS CFX R.14. We compare the predicted results with measured data obtained from the MATiS-H (Measurement and Analysis of Turbulent Mixing in Subchannels-Horizontal) test facility. In addition, we discuss the effect of the split-type mixing vanes on the flow pattern inside the fuel assembly.

Diesel vehicles should be equipped with urea-selective catalytic reduction(SCR) system as a high-performance catalyst, in order to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions. In this study, a three-dimensional Eulerian-Lagrangian CFD analysis was used to numerically predict the multiphase flow characteristics of the urea-SCR system, coupled with the chemical reactions of the system's transport phenomena. Then, the numerical spray structure was modified by comparing the results with the measured values from spray visualization, such as the injection velocity, penentration length, spray radius, and sauter mean diameter. In addition, the analysis results were verified by comparison with the removal efficiency of the nitrogen oxide emissions during engine and chassis tests, resulting in accuracy of the relative error of less than 5%. Finally, a verified CFD analysis was used to calculate the interanl flow of the urea-SCR system, thereby analyzing the characteristics of pressure drop and velocity increase, and predicting the uniformity index and overdistribution positions of ammonia.

Problems created by supersonic jet impinging on solid objects or ground arise in a variety of situations. For example multi-stage rocket separation, deep-space docking, V/STOL aircraft, jet-engine exhaust, gas-turbine blade, terrestrial rocket launch, and so on. These impinging jet flows generally contain a complex structures. (mixed subsonic and supersonic regions, interacting shocks and expansion waves, regions of turbulent shear layer) This paper describes experimental works on the phenomena (surface pressure distribution, flow visualization) when underexpanded supersonic jets impinge on the perpendicular, inclined plate using a supersonic cold-(low system. The used supersonic nozzle is convergent-divergent type, exit Mach number 2, The maximum on the plate when it was inclined was much larger than perpendicular plate, owing to high pressure recoveries through multiple shocks. Surface pressure distribution as to underexpanded ratio showed similar patterns together.

An aerodynamic rig test of a radial turbine for an auxiliary power unit (APU) was performed at a high-temperature turbine test facility at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute. The pressure ratio, Mach number, and flow coefficient in the rig test are the same as those under normal engine operation conditions. The design pressure ratio is 3.096, design test speed is 34909 rpm, and turbine inlet temperature is $160^{\circ}C$. The turbine has airfoil-type nozzles, and the diameter of the turbine wheel is 175.74 mm. The turbine map is experimentally measured, and the detailed flow at the turbine inlet is measured. The pressure distribution in the nozzle at both the hub and the shroud sides and the pressure distribution along the shroud casing of the turbine wheel were measured, and this confirmed that the expansion process in the turbine wheel is acceptable.

In this study, air sampling locations in the stack of the Advanced Fuel Science Building (AFSB) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) were assessed according to the ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 specification. The velocity profile, flow angle and $10{\mu}m$ aerosol particle profile at the cross-section as functions of stack height L and stack diameter D (L/D) were assessed according to the sampling location criteria using COMSOL. The criteria for the velocity profile were found to be met at 5 L/D or more for the height, and the criteria for the average flow angle were met at all locations through this assessment. The criteria for the particle profile were met at 5 L/D and 9 L/D. However, the particle profile at the cross-section of each sampling location was found to be non-uniform. In order to establish uniformity of the particle profile, a static mixer and a perimeter ring were modeled, after which the degrees of effectiveness of these components were compared. Modeling using the static mixer indicated that the sampling locations that met the criteria for the particle profile were 5-10 L/D. When modeling using the perimeter ring, the sampling locations that met the criteria for particle profile were 5 L/D and 7-10 L/D. The criteria for the velocity profile and the average flow angle were also met at the sampling locations that met the criteria for the particle profile. The methodologies used in this study can also be applied during assessments of air sampling locations when monitoring stacks at new nuclear facilities as well as existing nuclear facilities.

A high temperature fabric filter was developed and characterized in order to solve the various problems encountered in the operation of industrial fabric filters. Four kinds of dusts generated in the typical domestic industry were used for its characterization, coke dust from a steel manufacturing process, cement dust from a cement manufacturing process, fly ash from a fluidized-bed combustor, and incinerator ash from a waste plastics incinerator. The physical and chemical properties of the high temperature fabric filter were analyzed in terms of mean flow pore pressure, bubble point pore diameter, mean flow pore diameter, pore size distribution, and the changes in tensile strength and initial elastic modulus under $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ atmospheres. Pressure drop, dust penetration, and figure of merit for the fabric filter were also investigated in a bench-scale filter testing unit. The fabric filter developed in this study had good physical and chemical filter properties and showed a very applicability to typical industrial dusts treatments.

본 연구에서는 원적외선.열풍 복합건조특성을 구명하기 위하여 건조용량 150-500kg이고, 승강기, 상.하부스크류, 건조실, 템퍼링실, 송풍기 및 가열장치로 구성된 시뮬레이터를 제작하여 건조특성시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 가. 열풍온도에 따른 곡온변화를 시험한 결과 열풍온도 45$^{\circ}C$일 때 곡온 32-33$^{\circ}C$를 유지하였으며, 48, 51$^{\circ}C$일 때는 곡온이 35$^{\circ}C$가 넘어서는 현상을 나타났다. 건조중 곡온이 35$^{\circ}C$를 넘어서게 되면 동할미 발생량이 많아지고 품질저하가 급격히 일어난다. 나. 템퍼링실의 온도편차가 2,5$^{\circ}C$ 정도로 고른 온도분포를 나타내었고, 버너 입구쪽과 템퍼링실 중앙지점에서 온도가 약간 높게 나타났으며, 원적외선방사체 표면온도분포는 열풍온도가 45$^{\circ}C$일 때 평균 17$0^{\circ}C$를 유지하였고, 48$^{\circ}C$, 51$^{\circ}C$일 때 각각 22$0^{\circ}C$, 23$0^{\circ}C$에서 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. 다. 원적외선방사체 길이방향으로 온도편차는 버너를 기준으로 해서 버너쪽에서 멀수록 온도가 높았고, 중간, 근거리 순으로 나타났다. 버너의 원거리쪽에서 온도가 높게 나타난 것은 원적외선방사체를 통과하는 열풍이 빠져나가도록 되어있는 열풍 유동관이 버너 원거리에 위치하고 있어 버너에 불꽃이 점화되면서 열풍이 방사체 끝쪽으로 일시 머물렀다가 배출되기 때문으로 판단된다. 라. 건조기의 송풍량을 요인으로 하여 건조속도와 건조에너지를 비교한 결과 송풍량이 30cmm일 때가 25cmm에서보다 약 33%의 건조속도가 증가되어 송풍량이 많을수록 건조속도가 빨라졌으나, 건조에너지는 1,391kcal/kg.water로 나타나 약 4.2%정도가 더 소요 되었다. 곡물순환속도를 요인으로 하여 비교 시험한 결과 곡물순환속도가 33kg/min일때가 26kg/min보다 약 25%의 건조속도가 증가되어 곡물의 순환속도가 빠를수록 건조속도가 빨라졌으며, 건조에너지도 1,334kcal/kg.water로 비슷하게 소요되었다. 마. 시험구와 대비구의 건감률은 시험구에서 1.08~1.36w.b./h로 나타나 대비구보다 약 9.9~18.3%가 높게 나타났고, 건조에너지는 10.2~14.6%가 절감되었다. 발아율은 열풍온도가 낮을수록 높게 나타났고 시험구가 대비구보다 발아율이 낮게 나타났으며, 동할률 증가량도 원적외선.열풍 복합건조방법이 높게 나타나 이것은 곡물 표면에 원적외선 방사에의한 복사열이 전달되어 열장해를 받았기 때문으로 판단되며, 금후 더 연구하여 적정 열풍온도 및 방사체 크기를 구명해야 할 것이다.
