A numerical investigation has been carried out about the performance of a 500MW class tangentially coal-fired boiler, focusing on the optimization of separated overfire air (SOFA) position to reduce NOx emission. For this purpose, a comprehensive combination of NOx chemistry models has been employed in the numerical simulation of a particle-laden flow along with solid fuel combustion and heat and mass transfer. A reasonable agreement has been shown in baseline cases for predicted operational parameters compared with experimental data measured in the boiler. A further SOFA calculation has been made to obtain optimum elevation and position of SOFA port. Additionally, clarifying on the effect of SOFA on NOx emission has been carried out in the coal-fired boiler. As a result, this paper is valuable to provide an information about the optimum position of SOFA and the mechanism by which the SOFA would affect NOx emission.

The pilot study was conducted to (i) investigate the ability of various membrane integrity monitoring methods to detect changes in membrane integrity during operation, and (ii) determine the impact of membrane damage on microbial removal by microfiltration. Two variations of air pressure hold tests were investigated for direct integrity monitoring: pressure decay (PD) and diffusive air flow (DAF) tests which are most commonly used integrity tests for microfiltration (MF) membranes. Both PD and DAF tests were sensitive enough to detect one damaged fiber out of 66,000 under field operaing conditions. Indirect integrity monitoring such as turbidity and particle counting, however, responded poorly to defects in membrane systems. Microbial challenge study was performed using both new and deliberately damaged membranes, as well as varying the state of fouling of the membrane. This study demonstrated that MF membrane with nominal pore size $0.2{\mu}m$ was capable of removing various pathogens including coliform, spore, and cryptosporidium, at the level required by drinking water regulations, even when high operating pressures were applied. A sharp decrease in average log reduction value (LRV) was observed when one fiber was damaged, emphasizing the importance of membrane integrity in control of microbial contamination.

The ice slurry maker which can produce the ice slurry well for the ice particle in-flowing condition was revised. We removed the stagnant region at the top of the ice slurry maker, and IPF 40% could be realized. The IPF controller with 6 mm diameter holes at the bottom was designed. But the IPF controller with only 6 mm diameter holes could not control IPF in a pipe. This is because the ice particles at ice slurry flow exist homogeneously not only at the upper part but also at the bottom part. We changed the hole size of IPF controller surface using fine meshes and then, IPF in a pipe was increased by 70% when the hole size was $80{\mu}m$ and less.

Bottom ash from a coal-fired power plant is usually landfilled to a nearby site, which causes a growing environmental concern and increased operating costs. One way of recycling the bottom ash is to produce light-weight aggregate (LWA) using a rotary kiln. This study investigated the temperature profiles of raw LWA particles in a rotary kiln to identify the range of operating conditions appropriate for ideal bloating. For this purpose, a new simulation method was developed to integrate a 1-dimensional model for the bed of LWA particles and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the fuel combustion and gas flow. The temperature of LWA particles was found very sensitive to the changes in the air preheating temperature and excess air ratio. Therefore, an accurate control of the operation parameters was essential to achieve the bloating of LWA particles without excessive sintering or melting.

강우유출 조건에서 침투도랑의 여과기작은 수리학적 조건에 따라 변화할 수밖에 없다. 침투도랑에서 유출시간에 따른 다양한 여과조건이 입자상 물질의 제거에 미치는 영향을 이해하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 도로강우 유출수 처리를 위해 설치된 우드칩 충진 침투도랑에서 일어나는 여과기작을 조사 분석하였다. 유출수문곡선을 몇 개의 영역으로 분리하고 각 영역에서의 여과 메커니즘을 분석한 결과 여과는 수직흐름과 수평흐름, 그리고 불포화 흐름, 부분 포화흐름, 그리고 포화흐름을 거치면서 진행되는 것으로 나타났다. 불포화 흐름조건에서는 입자상 물질의 제거효율은 55-76%를 나타냈으며 주요 기작은 물리적인 억류(trapping)로 나타났으며 유출유량이 크게 증가하여 침투도랑에서 포화흐름이 조성되었을 때 제거효율은 75-95%로 크게 증가하였는데 이는 확산기작의 작용 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 강우 중단 후 유출량 감소로 침투도랑이 부분 포화흐름으로 전환되는 시점에는 음으로 하전된 공기와 물의 경계면의 존재로 여과효율이 감소한 것으로 추정된다. 강우시 급격히 변화하는 수리학적 조건에서 발생하는 흐름조건 및 여과 메커니즘과 이와 같은 인자가 여과효율에 미치는 영향을 도출하기 위하여 변수통제가 비교적 용이한 실험실 규모의 침투도랑에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

The effects of hydrogen enrichment to methane have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed hydrogen-enriched methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The hydrogen-enriched methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through different degrees of swirl vanes. The flame characteristics were examined for different amount of hydrogen addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The hydrogen addition effects and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using micro-thermocouple, particle image velocity meter (PIV) and chemiluminescence techniques to provide information about flow field. The results show that the flame area increases at upstream of reaction zone because of increase in ignition energy from recirculation flow for increase in swirl intensity. The flame area is also increased at the downstream zone by recirculation flow because of increase in swirl intensity which results in higher centrifugal force. The higher combustibility of hydrogen makes reaction faster, raises the temperature of reaction zone and expands the reaction zone, consequently recirculation flow to reaction zone is reduced. The temperature of reaction zone increases with hydrogen addition even though the adiabatic flame temperature of the mixture gas decreases with increase in the amount of hydrogen addition in this experiment condition because the higher combustibility of hydrogen reduces the cooler recirculation flow to the reaction zone.

선박의 표면은 소형선박에서부터 대형까지 매끄럽지 않고 어느 정도의 표면조도(surface roughness)를 가지고 있다. 표면조도는 표면저항과 열전달을 증가시키기 때문에 선박의 설계시 고려해야 될 중요한 설계인자 중 하나이다. 때문에 표면조도에 따른 주위유동에 관한 연구와 조도변화에 따른 유동 및 난류에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 선박의 표면조도는 선박에서 뿐만 아니라 기계나 항공까지 광범위하게 적용이 가능하며 가용 분야 또한 매우 넓다. 본 연구에서는 레저선박의 표면조도 간격변화에 따른 표면유동에 어떠한 영향을 끼치며 표면조도 영역에 따른 경계층에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다.

Birds and insects flap their wings to fly in the air and they can change their wing motions to do steering and maneuvering. Therefore, we created various wing motions with the parameters which affected flapping motion and evaluated the aerodynamic characteristics about those cases in this study. As the wing rotational velocity was fast and the rotational timing was advanced, the measured aerodynamic forces showed drastic increase near the end of stroke. The mean lift coefficient was increased until angle of attack of $50^{\circ}$ and showed the maximum value of 1.0. The maximum mean lift to drag ratio took place at angle of attack of $20^{\circ}$. Flow fields were also visualized around the wing using particle image velocimetry (PIV). From the flow visualization, leading-edge vortex was not shed at mid-stroke until angle of attack of $50^{\circ}$. But it was begun to shed at angle of attack of $60^{\circ}$.

Dust released from the rotating timber cutting process causes various kinds of diseases as well as safety issues. Although there were lots of efforts to reduce the amount of dust by installing large-sized dust collectors or by using expensive high-quality cutters, they proved to be not so effective. In this study we want to modify and improve the design of the rotary cutter system to prevent dust from being released to the environment as possible by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. We have developed CFD models of the conventional cutter and several design modifications. Through the CFD analysis the characteristics of the air flow was predicted, and then the behavior of dust produced during the cutting process was analyzed for different designs. The most efficient design feature to capture dust inside the cutter as much as possible was chosen based on the CFD analysis results. Finally the prototype of the ratary saw machine was constructed and tested to check the dust capturing efficiency, which result is reasonably consistent with the predicted performance through the CFD analysis.

The roasting of pyrite with a cyclone reactor have been studied in terms of investigating the reaction behavior of pyrite. The development of a fundamental model for pyrite oxidation and lime sulfation in a vertical cyclone reactor. The model assumes a chemical control shrinking core behavior for the pyrite and a fluid film control shrinking core behavior for the lime. The oxygen and sulphur dioxide concentrations and the energy balance for the gas, pyrite and lime particles are solved. The model was solved and characterized numerically. Experiments have been performed to study the influence of reaction parameters such as reactor temperatures, pyrite particle sizes, air flow rates, feeding rates, and mixing ratio of pyrite and lime. The oxidation and sulfation products were characterized chemically and physically.
