Thermal NOx is generated in a high temperature environment in a combustion facilities. Exhaust gas recirculation method is widely used among various methods for reducing nitrogen oxides in combustion devices. In the present study, the computational fluid dynamic analysis was accomplished to elucidate the cold flow characteristics in the flue gas recirculation burner with both outlets opening. Because the reciculation pipes is installed toward the tangential direction, the swirling flow is formulated in the burner and the phenomenon of the reverse flow creation is detected at the center area of circular burner. We are confirmed that this is the similar trend with the burner with one side outlet closed. From the present study, it was seen that the recirculated inflow from both recirculated burner outlets increased by about 5% compared to the burner with one side outlet opening. At the outlet located at the exhaust gas recirculation pipe inlet(gas exit 1), the inlet flow was formed in the entire region. At the opposite outlet(gas exit 2), the total flow was discharged, but the center part of the burner was observed to have a reverse flow. The flow rate at the gas exit 2 was 3 ~ 5 times larger than the flow rate at the gas exit 1.

The objective of this study is to numerically investigate the thermal characteristics of an automobile exhaust-based heat exchanger for automotive thermoelectric power generation with various exhaust gas mass flow rates and temperatures. The heat exchanger for automotive thermoelectric power generation has a square-type pin installed inside, so the maximum amount of heat can be transferred to the thermoelectric element from the heat energy coming from the automobile exhaust gas. The exhaust gas mass flow rate changed from 0.01, to 0.02, to 0.03 kg/s, and the exhaust gas temperature changed from 400, to 450, to 500, to 550, to $600^{\circ}C$, respectively. A numerical simulation was conducted by using the commercial program ANSYS CFX v17.0. Consequently, the exhaust gas pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the heat exchanger is determined according to the flow rate of the exhaust gas. When the mass flow rate of the exhaust gas increased, the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the heat exchanger increased, but the exhaust gas pressure difference between the inlet of the heat exchanger and the outlet did not vary with the exhaust gas temperature. Therefore, in order to obtain the maximum surface temperature from the heat exchanger, the exhaust gas mass flow rate should be lower, and the exhaust gas temperature should be higher.

액체금속로의 노심은 핵연료봉과 와이어랩에 의한 부수로로 구성된 복잡한 기하학적 구조의 집합체로 이루어져 있다. 이러한 액체금속로의 정상상태 및 과도상태 노심열수력 상세해석을 위하여 부수로 해석코드 MATRA-LMR 코드를 개발하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ORNL 19 Pin 실험결과와 EBR-II 실험 모의시 정상상태 노심열수력 해석코드인 SLTHEN 코드 계산에 사용되었던 실험데이타를 사용하여 현재 MATRA-LMR 코드로 계산을 수행한 후 그 결과를 비교.분석함으로써, MATRA-LMR 코드의 개발 상태를 평가해 보았다 ORNL 19 Pin 실험과 MATRA-LMR 계산를 비교한 결과 실험을 정확히 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. SLTHEN 코드 계산결과와의 비교에서는 집합체 평균 출구온도와 부수로 최대 출구온도를 비교한 결과 두 코드의 계산은 약 3% 이하의 차이를 보이고 있다. 현재의 MATRA-LMR 코드는 단일 집합체 계산만 가능하나 앞으로의 작업을 통해 전 노심 해석이 가능하도록 다중 집합체 계산 코드로 개발할 예정이다.

In general, inlet temperature of cooling sea water for steam turbine condenser is about $25^{\circ}C$ and outlet temperature is about $60^{\circ}C$. For oil cooler, outlet temperature is about $40^{\circ}C$. Therefore corrosion heavily depends on the temperature of the coolant of a heat exchanger system. It is necessary to set the temperature of the cooling water to have maximum heat transfer efficiency. This paper was studied on the effect of temperature on SCC of Al-brass which is used as a tube material of vessel heat exchanger in $3.5\%$ NaCl + $0.1\%\;NH_4OH$ solution under flow by constant displacement tester. Based on the test results, the behavior of polarization characteristic, stress corrosion crack popagation and dezincification characteristic of Al-brass was investigated.

Wet compression means the injection of water droplets into the compressor of gas turbines. This method decreases the compression work and increases the turbine output by decreasing the compressor exit temperature through the evaporation of water droplets inside the compressor. This paper provides thermodynamic and aerodynamic analysis on wet compression in a centrifugal compressor for a microturbine. The meanline performance analysis of centrifugal compressor is coupled with the thermodynamic equation of wet compression to get the meanline performance of wet compression. The most influencing parameter in the analysis is the evaporative rate of water droplets. It is found that the impeller exit flow temperature and compression work decreases as the evaporative rate increases. And the exit flow angle decreases as the evaporative rate increases.

In this study, dynamic simulation of membrane reactor was performed for water gas shift reaction and temperature, hydrogen concentration, etc. were investigated as a function of time and position. Simulation results indicated that differences of hydrogen concentration, hydrogen partial pressure, and temperature in the radial direction, were larger in the entrance than in the exit. In addition, the hydrogen flux was the largest in the entrance, where the hydrogen partial pressure difference was the largest, and the conversion of carbon monoxide in the exit was about 0.65.

2 Types of heater (Vitiated Type, Clean Air Type) in order to increase the temperature for a test are used for industry. In this report, large capacity clean air type heater was designed. Heater capacity and LNG consumption rate can be calculated by the air mass flow and heater inlet/outlet temperature. The heater is composed by Burner, Furnace, Heat Exchanger, and Stack. The hot air from the burner and cold air from the tube inlet exchange their heat indirectly in the heat exchanger, so the desired temperature can be achieved at the exit of the tube.

Camshaft engines designed for constant engine loads have been applied to existing marine diesel engines. However, due to environmental regulations, electro-hydraulic servo mechanisms, which have a loaddependent cylinder liner jacket water cooling system (LDCL-JWCS), have been recently developed to individually control the temperature of the cylinders depending on the engine load. In this system, the 3-way valve, which prevents low temperature corrosion by reducing the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the cylinder, has been employed, but the outlet mass flow of the existing valve is low. In this study, the design of the internal shape of the 3-way valve was performed by analyzing the effects of the design parameters of the valve shape on the performance (i.e., the outlet mass flow rate and temperature). The proposed model was verified by comparing its performance to that of existing marine diesel engine valves.

The materials of SUS304 and SS400 are adopted for prediction of workpiece temperature variation according to ambient temperature in a reheating furnace. Five thermocouples were installed in a depth direction inside the material, and the ambient temperature was raised to 1200 Celsius degrees. As a result, the material average temperature reached more than 1150 Celsius degrees, and the surface and inside of workpiece locally showed a temperature difference of more than 10K. In order to verify the experimental results, numerical analysis was conducted by applying a thermal model, and the error of numerical simulation compared with the experimental results was within the range of 15K at the average outlet temperature. Also, the error was relatively higher in the SS400 material, which has a larger specific heat change than the SUS304 material. In conclusion, the workpiece temperature in the reheating furnace can be achieved through the atmospheric temperature control, and it is experimentally proved that the material temperature change according to the atmospheric temperature can be estimated within about 3% error range at the outlet position using a thermal model.
