A new instrument, an average BDFT (Birectional Flow Tube), was proposed to measure the flow rate in single and two phase flows. Its working principle is similar to that of the Pilot tube, wherein the dynamic pressure is measured. In an average BDFT, the pressure measured at the front of the flow tube is equal to the total pressure, while that measured at the rear tube is slightly less than the static pressure of the flow field due to the suction effect downstream. The proposed instrument was tested in air/water vertical and horizontal test sections with an inner diameter of 0.08m. The tests were performed primarily in single phase water and air flow conditions to obtain the amplification factor(k) of the flow tube in the vertical and horizontal test sections. Tests were also performed in air/water vertical two phase flow conditions in which the flow regimes were bubbly, slug, and churn turbulent flows. In order to calculate the phasic mass flow rates from the measured differential pressure, the Chexal drift-flux correlation and a momentum exchange factor between the two phases were introduced. The test results show that the proposed instrument with a combination of the measured void fraction, Chexal drift-flux correlation, and Bosio & Malnes' momentum exchange model could predict the phasic mass flow rates within a $15\%$ error. A new momentum exchange model was also proposed from the present data and its implementation provides a $5\%$ improvement to the measured mass flow rate when compared to that with the Bosio & Malnes' model.

The roughness effects are very important due to the presence of interacting asperities in mixed lubrication regime. An average Reynolds equation using flow factors is useful to determine the effects of surface roughness on mixed lubrication. In this study, the effect of kurtosis on flow factors is investigated using random rough surfaces generated numerically, The results show that flow factors are very sensitive to h/$\sigma$ according to the value of kurtosis in the partial lubrication regime.

This paper presents an optimization procedure for high-efficiency design of a mixed-flow pump. Optimization techniques based on a weighted-average surrogate model are used to optimize a vane diffuser of a mixed-flow pump. Validation of the numerical results is performed through experimental data for head, power and efficiency. Three-level full factorial design is used to generate nine design points within the design space. Three-dimensional Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport turbulence model are discretized by using finite volume approximation and solved on hexahedral grids to evaluate the efficiency as the objective function. In order to reduce pressure loss in the vane diffuser, two variables defining the straight vane length ratio and the diffusion area ratio are selected as design variables in the present optimization. As the results of the design optimization, the efficiency at the design flow coefficient is improved by 7.05% and the off-design efficiencies are also improved in comparison with the reference design.

In this study, flow factors are evaluated in terms of kurtosis using random rough surface generated numerically. As h/$\sigma$become large øx, øy, øfp approach to 1 and øs, øfs to 0 asymptotically regardless of kurtosis. øx, øy, øfp increase with increasing kurtosis in the mixed lubrication regime. øs, øfs is associated with an additional flow transport due to the combined effect of sliding and roughness. As h/$\sigma$ decreases øs, øfs increase up to a certain point, and then decrease toward zero. This behavior can be attributed to the increasing number of contacts in the mixed lubrication regime. øx in the presence of elastic deformation on the surface is larger than øx in the absence of it because local film thickness( h$\_$T/) increases by elastic deformation.

We present a three-dimensional average flow model considering elastic deformation of pad asperities for chemical mechanical planarization. To consider the contact deformation of pad asperities in the calculation of the flow factor, three-dimensional contact analysis of a semi-infinite solid based on the use of influence functions is conducted from computer generated three dimensional roughness data. The average Reynolds equation and the boundary condition of both force and momentum balance are used to investigate the effect of pad roughness and external pressure conditions on film thickness and wafer position angle.

본 논문에서는 미계측 유역에 적용할 수 있는 갈수지수 산정 회귀모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 30개의 중권역 유역을 대상으로 국가수자원종합관리시스템에서 제공하는 장기유출자료를 이용하여 평균 갈수량과 평균 저수량, 지속기간별 빈도별 갈수지수를 산정하였으며 이를 유역특성인자 18개와 기상특성인자 3개와의 상관 분석을 통하여 최종적으로 유역면적(A), 유역 평균 표고(H), 유역 평균 경사(S), 수계밀도(D), 유출곡선지수(CN), 연증발산량(ET), 연강수량(P)을 선정하여 다중회귀분석을 수행하여 갈수지수 회귀모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 회귀모형을 평가하기 위하여 10개의 검증유역을 미계측 유역으로 간주하여 평균제곱근오차(RMSE) 와 평균절대오차(MAE)를 이용하여 정확도를 추정하였다. 또한 기존의 평균갈수량산정 회귀모형과의 비교를 통하여 본 논문에서 개발한 모형의 우수성을 검토하였다.

최근 전력계통의 대형화와 중조류 설비의 증가 등으로 계통내부에서 소모되는 무효전력 급증에 따라 계통전압관리차원에서 부하역률 관리의 중요성이 새롭게 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최소자승법(Least Square Method)을 이용하여 변압기 무효전력 손실량을 산출하였으며, 유량평균법(Average Flow Method)을 사용하여 부하특성에 따른 지역별, 계절별, 시간대별 부하역률 대표모델을 수립하였다.

This study is to analyze the internal flow at the inside of computer case which is commonly used. The inner configuration are modelled and simulation analysis is done by ANSYS-CFX. Dead volume is happened according to the positioning of VGA and HDD. The advanced model is suggested by removing this volume and making the smooth cooling flow. This model is formed with the constraint conditions same as the existing model. As compared with the existing model, flow configuration is different and the average temperature becomes lower through flow analysis about the advanced model.

To predict the average liquid level under the condition of the countercurrent stratified two-phase flow in a pipe, an analytical model has been suggested. This is made by introducing the interfacial level gradient into the liquid-phase and the gas-phase momentum equations. The analytical method for the gas-phase pressure drop calculation with f$_i$ $\neq$ f$_G$ has also been described using the liquid level prediction model developed in the present study.

This present work is to find optimum design of a NACA65 axial fan blade with weighted average surrogate model. The numerical analysis by Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress turbulence(SST) is discretized by finite volume approximations and solved on hexahedral grids for flow analysis. The blade aerodynamic shape is modified by six design variables for the optimization. The blade profile as well as stacking line is modified to enhance blade total efficiency. Six design variables, airfoil maximum camber, maximum camber location, leading edge radius, trailing edge radius, lean angle at 50% span and lean angle at 100% span, are selected for blade profile to enhance the total efficiency. The PBA model which is basically weighted average of the basis surrogates is used to find the optimal design in the design space from the constructed response surface model for the objective function. By the optimization, the total efficiency is increased by 1.4%.
