Construction waste mainly consists of concrete aggregates of various size. Improper handling of concrete waste would be a major environmental problem whereas its recycling would be both economically useful and environmentally friendly. Bigger concrete aggregates are crushed and converted to medium and fine particles to make them recyclable. An apparatus to separate the concrete aggregates by their size is thus needed for their effective recycling. In this work, segregation of concrete particles in air flows from a newly designed rotary separator having three stages of blades is simulated using a commercial software, ANSYS-CFX. Both 2-D and 3-D models with 360, 240 and 180 blades in each stage are considered. Fundamental mechanism of separation of particles(pase) and the effect of design parameters such as particle size, rotor speed, air flow rate etc. on the performance of the separator are investigated. Critical size of particles that can be separated by the developed separator is also presented in this work. Simulation results are overall in good agreement with data predicted from the theoretical model previously reported in the companion paper.

Coal gasification is heading for a great future as one of the cleanest energy sources, which can produce not only electricity and heat, but also gaseous and liquid fuels from the synthesis. The work focuses on 300MW shell type one-stage entrained flow coal gasifier which is used in the Integrated coal Gasification Combined Cycle(IGCC) plant as a reactor. As constructing an IGCC plant is considerably complicated and expensive compared with a pulverized-coal power plant, it is important to determine optimum design factors and operating conditions using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. In this study, the results of numerical calculations show that $O_2$/Coal ratio, 0.83, Steam/Coal ratio, 0.05, coal particle diameter, $100{\mu}m$, injection angle, $4^{\circ}$ (clockwise) are the most optimum in this research.

농업과 IT기술 융합이 가속화됨에 따라 식물공장 내 작물의 품질 및 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 식물공장의 생산성을 최대화하기 위해서는 먼저 시설 내부의 특성을 고려하여 생육에 적합한 열 환경과 공기의 흐름을 제공하기 위한 고도의 생장환경 관리기술이 필요하다. 현재 운영되고 있는 식물공장은 특화된 공기유동장치의 설계 및 운영기술이 확립되지 않아 온도 기류 편차로 인한 불균일한 품질의 작물 생산, 재배기간 연장에 따른 에너지 소비 등의 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 식물공장 시설의 설계 단계에서 전산유체역학 시뮬레이션을 이용한 공기유동장치의 배치 및 운영기술에 대한 최적화 과정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 시뮬레이션을 이용한 순환 팬의 적정 배치 및 유속을 파악하여 식물공장 시설 내부의 각 지점별 온도 편차를 최소화하고 에너지소비를 절감한다. 시뮬레이션 조건은 순환 팬의 설치 위치 및 수량 그리고 유속변화에 따라 총 12가지의 Case로 구분하였으며 해석을 위한 경계 조건 변수는 동일하게 설정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 2set의 순환 팬을 식물재배기 상단에 부착한 Case D의 제어 조건이 설정온도에 부합하는 296.33K의 평균온도를 유지하면서 식물생육에 적합한 0.51m/s의 기류분포를 보였다. 또한, 순환 팬의 유속을 변화시킨 결과, 출구 유속을 2.09/s로 설정한 Case D-3이 에너지 효율 측면에서 가장 우수한 결과를 보였다.

A high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model for the lower plenum of the High-Temperature Test Facility (HTTF), a ¼ scale test facility of the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) managed by Oregon State University. In most next-generation nuclear reactors, thermal stress due to thermal striping is one of the risks to be curiously considered. This is also true for HTGRs, especially since the exhaust helium gas temperature is high. In order to evaluate these risks and performance, organizations in the United States led by the OECD NEA are conducting a thermal hydraulic code benchmark for HTGR, and the test facility used for this benchmark is HTTF. HTTF can perform experiments in both normal and accident situations and provide high-quality experimental data. However, it is difficult to provide sufficient data for benchmarking through experiments, and there is a problem with the reliability of CFD analysis results based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes to analyze thermal hydraulic behavior without verification. To solve this problem, high-fidelity 3-D CFD analysis was performed using the LES model for HTTF. It was also verified that the LES model can properly simulate this jet mixing phenomenon via a unit cell test that provides experimental information. As a result of CFD analysis, the lower the dependency of the sub-grid scale model, the closer to the actual analysis result. In the case of unit cell test CFD analysis and HTTF CFD analysis, the volume-averaged sub-grid scale model dependency was calculated to be 13.0% and 9.16%, respectively. As a result of HTTF analysis, quantitative data of the fluid inside the HTTF lower plenum was provided in this paper. As a result of qualitative analysis, the temperature was highest at the center of the lower plenum, while the temperature fluctuation was highest near the edge of the lower plenum wall. The power spectral density of temperature was analyzed via fast Fourier transform (FFT) for specific points on the center and side of the lower plenum. FFT results did not reveal specific frequency-dominant temperature fluctuations in the center part. It was confirmed that the temperature power spectral density (PSD) at the top increased from the center to the wake. The vortex was visualized using the well-known scalar Q-criterion, and as a result, the closer to the outlet duct, the greater the influence of the mainstream, so that the inflow jet vortex was dissipated and mixed at the top of the lower plenum. Additionally, FFT analysis was performed on the support structure near the corner of the lower plenum with large temperature fluctuations, and as a result, it was confirmed that the temperature fluctuation of the flow did not have a significant effect near the corner wall. In addition, the vortices generated from the lower plenum to the outlet duct were identified in this paper. It is considered that the quantitative and qualitative results presented in this paper will serve as reference data for the benchmark.

This study aims to suggest an evaluation method of thermal environment using CFD, not an experiment, which is usual in the field. Model train is the newly introduced Mugunghwa train. Since its compartment occupies a large space and chairs and other accessories make it a complicated structure, 3-D calculation might take too much time and effort to make evaluation itself possible. Therefore, we suggest a 2-D model to replace the original 3-D model for averaged temperature and temperature distribution in the cabin.

In this study, the characteristics of turbulent flow and collection efficiency for an one-stage electrostatic precipitator(ESP) with slit type collecting electrode for urban railway underground tunnels were obtained using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) commercial code FLUENT 6.3 and lab-scale experiments. The electrostatic precipitator was operated under high gas velocity(3~12m/s). Five different designs of collecting electrode, flat plate-type and a slit-type of 3mm, 5mm, 7mm and 10mm slit width and four various gas velocity(3, 6, 9, and 12m/s) were used and applied. A standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model in CFD commercial code FLUENT 6.3 was used for flow simulation. The flow simulation results showed that the turbulent intensity of flat plate-type was higher than slit-type under all gas velocity conditions and also the turbulent intensity of flat plate-type was increased continuously, but in case of slit-type was maintained at constant range. And, the turbulent intensity was decreased according to increasing of slit width. The experimental results showed that the collection efficiency of slit-type was higher than flat plate-type under all gas velocity conditions. And, over 6m/s gas velocity condition, the collection efficiency of 5mm and 7mm was highest, when compared to 3mm and 10mm.

본 연구에서는 사류 및 부압이 발생하는 자유수면을 가진 댐 상류 및 여수로에서 물의 흐름의 동수역학적인 거동을 파악하기 위하여 수치모형을 적용하였다. 댐 건설시, 댐 상류에서의 유동을 알아보기 위하여 2차원 수치모형인 RMA2를 이용하였고, 접근부에서의 3차원적 흐름과 여수로, 방류관 등에서의 흐름분포를 평가하기 위하여 3차원 CFD 프로그램인 FLUENT를 사용하였다. 수치모의에서는 지형 및 구조물에 관한 세부인자들이 수치모형을 구성하는 데 사용되었다. 한탄강 댐에 적용한 2차원 수치모의 결과, 댐 상류부 여러 지점에서 최대 유속이 1 m/s에 이르는 와류가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 2차원 수치모형이 댐 건설 후 상류하천의 2차원적 유황을 규명하는 데 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 의미한다. 3차원 수치모의 결과, 수위와 방류조건에 따라서 댐 직상류의 3차원 접근 흐름의 변화가 발생하고 있으며, 여수로, 방류관, 배사관으로 배출되는 유속이 상이하게 나타나고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 댐 상류 100 m지점에서 댐 여수로 중심선에 대한 유속 분포 모의치를 수리모형실험에서의 측정치와 비교한 결과, 두 값이 비슷하게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 2, 3 차원 수치모형이 댐 상류부 및 여수로의 흐름을 해석하는 데 있어서 수리모형실험에서 쉽게 수행하기 어려운 다양한 조건을 모의함으로써 댐 설계 최적화에 기여할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Although it has recently been regulated for use as an eco-friendly policy in Korea, the use of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) cooling boxes, which are used as cold chain delivery insulation boxes for fresh agricultural and livestock products, is also increasing rapidly as e-commerce logistics such as delivery have increased rapidly due to COVID-19. Studies were conducted to optimize the EPS cooling container through internal air heat flow of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis and FEM (Finite Element Method) random vibration analysis using domestic PSD (Power Spectral Density) profile of the EPS cooling box to which the refrigerant is applied in this study. In the analysis of the internal air heat flow by the refrigerant in the EPS cooling box, the application of vertical protrusions inside was excellent in volume heat flow and internal air temperature distribution. In addition, as a result of random vibration analysis, the internal vertical protrusion gives the rigid effect of the cooling box, so that displacement and stress generation due to vibration during transport are smaller than that of a general cooling container without protrusion. By utilizing the resonance point (frequency) of the EPS cooling box derived by the Model analysis of ANSYS Software, it can be applied to the insulation and cushion packaging design of the EPS product line, which is widely used as insulation and cushion materials.
