Because of overload working condition of sintering cooler, the cooler fan often suffers the break or damage of rotor blade and fixing shaft. Therefore, internal flow characteristics of a steelworks sintering cooler fan by the duct shape of the cooler fan outlet, such as duct outlet opening ratio, duct height and dividing wall shape on the duct outlet flow pattern are examined in detail. The results show that relatively short duct wall height and attachment of dividing wall shape improves flow patterns considerably.

The present study has been carried out to analyze the flow characteristics in the inlet expasion duct of a heat recovery steam generator by using numerical flow analysis. The inlet of HRSG corresponds the outlet of gas turbine exit and the flow after gas turbine has strong swirl flow and turbulence. The inlet flow condition of HRSG should be included the exit flow characteristics of gas turbine. The present numerical analysis adopted the flow analysis result of gas turbine exit flow as a inlet flow condition of HRSG analysis. Because the flow characteristics in the inlet duct of the tube bank is strongly related to the performance of a HRSG, it is most important for the optimal design of HGSG to understanding the flow phenomena in the inlet duct of HRSG. From the present study, the position of breakpoint in the inlet expansion duct should be lower than the reference breakpoint position for the optimal flow uniformity before the tube bank.

In this study, computational fluid dynamics was used to analyze the flow bias generated as air supplied by a fan passes through ducts, piping, and a coal separation screen. The flow bias of the air flow is mostly caused by the spatial characteristics of the fan volute and duct, and the internal baffle and the coal separation screen at the outlet cause strong pressure losses that dampen the flow bias. ANSYS CFX was used for computational fluid dynamics, and since the baffle and the coal separation screen are shaped like perforated plates with many small holes uniformly distributed, actual modeling for analysis was not possible. Therefore, the Porous Loss Model was applied. The evaluation of the flow bias was analyzed based on the velocity distribution of the Porous Loss Model at the outlet surface of the coal separation screen obtained from the computational fluid dynamics results.

액체 램제트 엔진의 특성은 흡입구를 통해 들어오는 유입공기의 상태에 따라 많이 달라진다. 흡입구에 들어오는 공기의 유입각이 일정각도를 넘어서면 유입공기의 왜곡이 심하여 정상적인 연소가 불가능 할 수 있다. 따라서 다양한 비행조건에 따른 램제트 엔진의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 외부 유입영역, 흡입구, 연소기, 노즐 및 출구 대기 영역을 함께 계산하여 유동 특성과 연소 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 흡입구는 마하 2.0을 기준으로 설계하고, 4각 덕트에서 완만하게 원형 덕트로 변화되는 확대관의 형상으로 비행체에 붙어 있는 것으로 격자를 구성하였다. 흡입구에서의 유동 조건은 비행체을 지난 유속이 마하 2.0과 2.2의 경우에 대하여 수치 실험을 수행하였으며, 비반응 유동 해석과 연소가 있는 반응 유동해석 결과를 흡입구를 포함하지 않았던 선행 연구 결과들과 비교하였다. 유입각이 영 일 때의 흡입구를 포함한 계산 결과는 흡입구에서 생성되는 충격파에 의한 손실로 총압력이 흡입구를 포함하지 않았던 선행 연구 결과와 차이가 있었으나 유동 특성에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 유입각이 증가함에 따라 흡입구로 유입되는 공기의 량이 감소하고 그에 따른 유동의 왜곡이 심하여 연소특성에 변화를 보여 주었다.

Effects of the duct inlet guide vane on the flowrate distribution characteristics of the defroster nozzle exit in a defrost duct system were investigated experimentally to design the optimum heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system applied in an automotive compartment. A 3-dimensional hot-wire anemometer system was used to measure the velocity field in the vicinity of the defroster nozzle jet flow and the velocity distributions near the windshield interior surface. At first, two cases of with- and without-duct inlet guide vanes were considered as the test condition, and then three cases of the duct inlet guide vane were tested to determine the optimum guide vane shape and their positions. The arrangement of the duct inlet guide vanes has an effect on the improved flowrate distribution at the defroster nozzle exit and near the windshield interior surface. However, the application of the lots of guide vane to control the flow direction leads to increase the flow resistance, resulting in the decreased flowrate issuing from the defroster nozzle. The shape of the duct inlet guide vane affects not only the flowrate distribution between the driver side and the assistant driver side but also the reduction of the flow resistance in the defrost duct system.

추진기관의 연소실과 같이 큰 열부하를 받는 경우 막냉각은 연소실을 보호하기 위해서 사용되는 대표적인 냉각기법이다. 막냉각의 성능을 극대화하기 위해서는 냉각유체를 2차원 슬롯을 통해서 분사시키는 것이 가장 효율적이지만 여러 가지 이유 때문에 실제 적용에 있어서는 슬롯입구 부근에 작은 구멍을 만들어 이로부터 분사되는 유체를 통해서 냉각시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 주어진 덕트에서 분사율, 분사방법, 슬롯의 형상에 따른 슬롯 출구에서의 유동장 및 온도장 측정과 함께 물질전달 방법을 이용하여 슬롯 립(slot lip) 내벽에서 자세한 국소 열/물질전달계수를 구하였다. 분사율 0.5와 1.0에 대해서 주유동과 같은 방향으로 분사시켜줄 경우와, 유동을 제한시켜 주고 이차유동의 방향을 각각 주유동과 같은 방향과 반대방향으로 분사시키는 방법에 대하여 실험하였으며, 슬롯 입구에 경사슬롯을 설치하여 냉각유체를 분사시키는 방법에 대해서 실험하였다.

This paper describes a potential-based panel method formulated for the prediction of the steady performance of a waterjet propulsor. The method employs normal dipoles and sources distributed on the solid surfaces such as the impeller/stator blades, hub and duct, and normal dipoles in the shed wakes trailing the impeller and stator to represent the potential flow around the waterjet propulsor. To define a closed boundary surface, the inlet and outlet open boundary surfaces are introduced where the sources and dipoles are distributed. The kinematic boundary condition on the solid boundary surface is satisfied by requiring that the normal component of the total velocity should vanish. On the inlet surface, the total inflow flux into the duct is specified, and on the outlet surface the conservation of mass principle is applied to evaluate the source strength. The solid surfaces are discretized into a set of quadrilateral panel elements and the strengths of sources and dipoles are assumed constant at each panel. Applying this approximation to the boundary conditions leads to a set of simultaneous equations. Systematic numerical tests show that the present numerical method is fast and stable. In order to validate the present method, sample computations are carried out first for the case of a conventional axial flow fan which has a similar geometry as the waterjet propulsor, and then for the case of a waterjet propulsor on which experiments are carried out at KRISO(Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering).

This research aims in finding a more optimal ejector size for evacuating engine exhaust gasses and 20% of the cell cooling air. The remaining 80% of cell cooling air pumped into the test chamber is separately exhausted from the test chamber via a discharge port fitted with flow control valves and vacuum pump. Unlike its predecessor this configuration utilizes a smaller capture area to improve pressure recovery. The modified ejector size has a diameter of 1100mm enough to evacuate 66kg/s jet engine exhaust in addition to about 20%, 24kg/s of the cell cooling air tapped from the sterling chamber. This configurations has an area ratio of the engine exit and ejector inlet of about 1.2. Simulation results of the proposed ejector configuration, indicates improved pressure recovery.

각종 홀 (음악홀, 극장, 사무실건물)의 공조 덕트계에는 미로형소음챔버가 설 치되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 소음장치를 건물내부에 설치하는 경우에는 건물 설계단계에서부터 소음챔버로 인한 감음양(투과손실 : Transmission Loss)의 예측계산이 중요하다. 그렇지만, 일반적인 소음장치는 그 형상이나 내표면의 흡음조건이 아주 복잡하기 때문에, 현단계에서는 간단한 이론만으로 투과손 실예측이 거의 불가능하다. 지금까지 이 문제에 대해서 유한요소법(Finite Element Method : FEM)을 이용해 검토한 예가 종종 소개되었으나, 대부분 소음챔버의 입구와 출구에서의 임의의 점에 대한 음압비를 투과손실로서 구 하고 있다. 그러나, 소음기자체의 실질적인 투과손실특성을 알기 위해서는 소음기의 입력 파워에 대한 출력파워의 비로서 구하지 않으면 안된다. 따라 서, 본 연구에서는 유한요소법에 의한 복소음향인텐시티(Complex sound intensity)의 수치계산법을 각종소음기 (팽창형, 미로형)의 투과손실해석에 적 용하기 위하여 이론적인 면에서 고찰했으며, 프로그램도 개발하여 모델해석 에 적용하였다. 또한, 위에서 언급된 수치해석법의 타당성의 검증을 위하여, 측정에 의한 투과손실예측방법으로서 크로스스펙트럼(Cross Spectrum)법에 의한 음향인텐시티계측법의 이용에 대해서 이론적으로 고찰했으며, 그 이론 을 기초로 한 축척 모형실험을 병행하였다.
