An analysis of the flow within supersonic turbine cascades is necessary to design and manufacture turbo-pump system. Because of the differences between the specified inlet boundary value and the computed inlet value caused by the far field inlet boundary condition, the computations at desired inlet conditions can not be achieved. So, this paper studied the problem occurred when far field inlet conditions were specified as inlet boundary conditions. And the numerical analyses using Fine Turbo, CFD Program, has been performed and compared with those of experiments when a converging-diverging nozzle or a linear nozzle was located in front of cascades instead of the far field inlet condition.

In image-based CFD modeling of carotid bifurcation hemodynamics, it is often not possible (or at least not convenient) to impose measured velocity profiles at the common carotid artery inlet. Instead, fully-developed velocity profiles are usually imposed based on measured flow rates. However, some studies reported a pronounced influence of inflow boundary conditions that were based on actual velocity profiles measured by magnetic resonance imaging which showing the unusual presence of a high velocity band in the middle of the vessel during early diastole inconsistent with a Dean-type velocity profile. We demonstrated that those velocity profiles were induced by the presence of modest secondary curvature of the inlet and set about to test whether such more "realistic" velocity profiles might indeed have a more pronounced influence on the carotid bifurcation hemodynamics. We found that inlet boundary condition with axisymmetric fully-developed velocity profile(Womersley flow) is reasonable as long as sufficient CCA inlet length of realistic geometry is applied.

The efficiency and lifetime of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system is critically affected by the humidity of the incoming gas, which should be maintained properly under normal operating conditions. Typically, the incoming gas of a fuel cell is humidified by an external humidifier, but few studies have reported on the device characteristics. In this study, a laboratory-scale planar membrane humidifier is designed to investigate the characteristics of water transport through a hydrophilic membrane. The planar membrane humidifier is immersed in a constant temperature bath to isolate the humidifier from the effect of temperature variations. The mass transfer capability of the hydrophilic membrane is first examined under isothermal conditions. Then, the mass transfer capability is investigated under various conditions. The results show that water transport in the hydrophilic membrane is significantly affected by the flow rate, operating temperature, operating pressure, and flow arrangement.

An expander of an organic Rankine cycle is an essential component that significantly influences its entire performance and cycle efficiency. The inlet pressure and temperature of the expander used for the organic Rankine cycle are limited by the expander's mechanical properties and the characteristics of the working fluid. The organic Rankine cycle's output, heat absorption, and efficiency are altered by the inlet pressure and temperature of the expander. In this study, a theoretical comparative analysis was conducted on an organic Rankine cycle's performance changes, which are dependent on the inlet condition of the expander. The working fluid is an R134a refrigerant, and the expander is a positive-displacement type.

냉매 충전량과 이차유체의 입구조건은 $CO_2$용 열펌프시스템의 성능실험에서 중요한 제어변수이다. 따라서, 열펌프사이클의 적용과 난방성능 향상을 위해 제어변수의 특성을 조사하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서, $CO_2$용 열펌프 사이클의 성능 실험은 여러 가지 냉매 충전량에서 이차유체 입구조건에 변화를 주어 수행 되었다. 실험결과, 난방COP는 냉매 충전량이 증가함에 따라 1158g의 냉매 충전량에서 최대가 되었다가 감소하는 경향이 나타나며, 이는 COP가 최대가 되는 냉매충전량이 존재함을 나타낸다. 또한, 난방성능은 가스쿨러내 이차유체의 질량유량의 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 가스냉각기내 2차유체의 입구은도가 $10^{\circ}C$에서 $40^{\circ}C$로 증가하면, 난방용량, 압축일량, 토출압력은 각각 -8.57%, -35.89%, 32.78%로 변화했으며, 증발기 2차유체의 입구 온도가 감소하였을 때 난방COP는 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

원자로 입구노즐에서 원자로 냉각재 펌프에 의한 맥동압력 준위를 원자로 하향통로와 저온 관을 상관시켜 예측하는 방법에 관하여 분석하였다. 원자로 하향통로에서의 맥동압력은 원자로 내부구조물의 건전성 평가에 쓰이는 중요한 인자로 이 값을 정확히 구하기 위해서는 경계조건인 입구노즐에서의 맥동압력을 정확히 예측해야 한다. 이를 위해 원자로 하향통로와 저온관을 상관시켜 원자로 입구노즐에서의 펌프에 의한 맥동압력 준위를 계산하였으며 Palo Verde Unit 1의 실험치와 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 제시된 맥동압력 준위 예측모델은 500℉의 경우 비교적 잘 일치하였으나, 565℉의 경우 상당한 차이가 있었으므로 추가적인 검토 및 수정 작업이 요구된다.

The effects of duct inlet conditions on fan characteristics and upper wind velocity fields were investigated for two kinds of impellers. As the duct inlet condition, the relative positions between duct inlet and fan impeller and the size of baffle plate mounted on a duct inlet were selected. The 3-dimensional velocity components in flow fields were measured by a 5-holes pitot tube. From the results of measurements, it was found that the size of baffle plate scarecely effect on upper wind flow fields and characteristics of fan. It was also confirmed that the upper wind velocity distributions can be estimated by the potential flow field with large baffle plate at duct inlet.

The now velocity distribution at inlet of diesel Particulate filter (DPF) which is connected to each curved duct was simulated using $STAR-CD^{(R)}$. Three kinds of models which describe the shapes of the curved duct ware used for the CFD simulation. The simulation results were compared with the experimental data of velocity distribution which was obtained using a Pitot tube and 2-D positioning machine. At the $90^{\circ}$ curved connecting condition, the CFD simulation results of flow velocity distribution at inlet of the DPF showed a horse hoop shape shifted from the axial center line of the DPF. The CFD simulation results agree reasonably with those of the experiments.
