The in-situ thermal response test for the design of a ground heat exchanger of geothermal heat pumps have difficulty in predicting the outlet temperature according to the variation of conditions due to the expense and time. This paper suggests a 3-D CFD analysis method to predict the heat transfer performance of vertical type ground heat exchanger, which is mostly used in national, and the outlet temperature and the slope of two in-situ thermal response tests were compared to test the proposed CFD reliability. The results of CFD analysis showed that the outlet temperature was predicted to within $0.5^{\circ}C$ of the actual value and the slope was predicted to within 1.6%. The reliability of the CFD analysis method was confirmed using this process, and the outlet temperature prediction of the two in-situ thermal response tests was obtained by changing ${\pm}20%$ of the flow rate and the effective thermal conductivity conditions, respectively. The results of CFD analysis showed that the outlet temperature of Case 1 was 28.0 (-20%) and $29.6^{\circ}C$ (+20%) for the flow rate variation and $29.6^{\circ}C$ (-20%) and $28.0^{\circ}C$ (+20%) for the effective thermal conductivity variation, and the outlet temperature of Case 2 was 28.4 (-20%) and $29.8^{\circ}C$ (+20%) for the flow rate variation and $29.7^{\circ}C$(-20%) and $28.4^{\circ}C$(+20%) for the effective thermal conductivity variation.

Emission regulations have been strengthened step by step for marine engines. A noble measure is required both inside and outside of the combustion chamber. The combustion characteristics in cylinder have a very close relationship with the exhaust emission characteristics. Injection valve and nozzle hole geometry is an important factor for combustion. The study to improve the spray characteristics has concentrated on nozzle inlet geometry and nozzle hole diameter, but the exit geometry has not considered. In this study the nozzle exit angle variation was tested. The results show that the angle between $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ is more effective than the other cases.

In present paper focused on the influence of the inlet-outlet area ratio of counter flow manifold on the flow distribution and pressure drop characteristics of a tubular heat exchanger. The characteristics of flow distribution and pressure loss can be obtained depending on the inlet-outlet area ratio. In this paper, a tubular heat exchanger can be designed with minimum flow mal-distribution and better characteristic of pressure loss by choosing the optimum inlet-outlet area ratio.

유역내의 강우량을 통하여 유역 출구지점에서의 유출량을 예측하고, 그에 따른 대비를 세우는 것은 매우 중요하다. 유역내의 강우량은 유역내의 강우관측소에서 얻어지는 실시간 자료를 통하여 알 수 있지만, 강우 관측소의 강우 자료가 유역 출구지점에서의 유출량이나 하천 흐름의 특성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지는 알 수 없다. 유역 내에서 강우 관측소가 유출량 또는 하천의 흐름에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수도 있지만, 부정적인 요소가 될 수도 있기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유역 내 강우 관측소가 출구지점 유출량과 흐름특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 판단하고 최적의 강우 관측소 조합을 찾아 내 하천 흐름의 특성과 유출량을 예측하였다. 본 연구에서는 갑천 유역 내의 6개 강우관측소와 유역 출구지점의 유출량과 하천 흐름에 영향을 줄 것이라고 판단되는 유역 주변의 강우 관측소 7개, 총 13개의 강우 관측소를 선정하였다. 13개의 강우 관측소에서 12, 11개씩 선택하여 총 90개의 부분집합을 구성하고, 유전자 알고리즘을 통하여 실제 유출량에 가장 비슷한 결과를 보이는 강우 관측소 조합을 찾아내고자 하였다.

In this study, we analysed the influence of the performance and inflow flow of a radial inflow turbine with the variation of vane nozzle exit angles for a 100kW class turbine applicable in the waste heat recovery system. For this, three-dimensional CFD analysis was performed using commercial code called ANSYS Fluent 12.1. As the vane nozzle exit angle was more increased the reattachment region near blades of the vane nozzle got smaller, and also the Mach number at vane nozzle exit was observed to be 1 due to the effect of the cross section reduction. Through this study, we expect that the analysed results will be used as the design material for the composition of the turbine optimal design parameters corresponding to the target output power.

To identify the effects of an outflow area on pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus, three different flow restrictors were studied experimentally. For the test, a heated tube of smooth stainless steel and water at atmospheric pressure were used. Both annuli with open and closed bottoms were considered. To validate the effects of the outflow area on the heat transfer, the results of the annulus with the restrictor were compared with the data for the plain annulus without the restrictor. The reduction of the outflow area ultimately results in a decrease in the heat transfer. As the outflow area is very small, a slight increase in heat transfer is also observed. The major cause of this tendency is explained as the difference in the intensity of liquid agitation cause by the movement of coalesced bubbles. It is identified that the convective flow, pulsating flow, and evaporative mechanism are considered as the important mechanisms.

Twin-fluid atomization has been widely used in combustors and process industries because of its high performance and simple structure. Flow visualization and pressure measurements were conducted to investigate the effects of gas flow in twin-fluid atomization. Schlieren photographs showed that changes in atomizing gas pressure, altered the wave patterns, and the lengths of both recitrculating toroid (impinging stangnation point) nad supersonic flow region in the jet. A longer supersonic wave pattern like net-shape wqas observed as atomizing gas pressure increased. The disintegration phenomenon of liquid delivery tube. The variation of spray angles with gas pressures were obtained by visualization using laser sheet beam. Suction pressuresat the nozzle orifice exit and recirculating region are shown to be used to estimate the stable atomization condition of a twin-fluid atomizer.

The overall results of hot firing tests of fuel-rich gas generator with impinging injector at design and off-design points are described. The gas generator consists of an injector head with impinging injector, a water cooled combustor wall, a turbulence ring to enhance mixing, an instrument ring measuring temperature and pressure and a nozzle. The combustion tests were successfully performed without damage of gas generator. Test results show that the outlet temperature is not dependent on residence time of hot gas within 4～6msec but dependent on chamber pressure. The relation between outlet temperature and combustion efficiency resulting from measured pressure, mass flow rate and area of nozzle throat is shown. The overall O/F ratio is the critical parameter to determine the outlet temperature and the linear correlation between two parameters is established.

This paper analyzed characteristic of temperature change as well as bottom of tunnel with thermometer according to tunnel length and region during one year. And it measured temperature distribution near tunnel portal. In the paper it was known that tunnel entrance and exit have different characteristic temperature distribution in accordiance with bottom of tunnel per tunnel length. Temperature of tunnel changed from tunnel exit to fifty meter and distribution of tunnel temperature was established uniform regardless of tunnel length. But temperature distribution of tunnel changed in tunnel entrance differ from tunnel exit in the location of one hundred twenty five meter and one hundred fifty meter. Cold air inflowed from tunnel entrance have influenced with the location of one hundred twenty five meter and one hundred fifty meter.

A numerical simulation on a primary calcinator of porcelain was performed with using Fluent to calculate the heat efficiency by studying velocity vector and temperature profile according to variables such as the location of outlet and porcelain. Control-Volume based Finite Difference Method and Up-wind scheme are used for discretization of differential equation. SIMPLEC Algorithm and standard k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model are selected to resolve the pressure-velocity coupling and the turbulent. The result of simulation showed that the whole velocity vector field in a calcinator was varied greatly according to the location of outlet. But the whole temperature profile at each zone was still high regardless of the location of outlet because of the radiation. But the temperature of a case with a outlet at sidepart of preheating or cooling zone was little high compared to the case with a outlet on the top of preheating zone. The velocity vector field and temperature profile in a calcinator were almost not affected by the location of porcelain, but the temperature inside a porcelain was much affected according to the place where it was located. The heat efficiency in a calcinator was 44.6% and the gas temperature in the outlet was about 1000 K.
