By controlling the internal pressure in the cyclone separator, we investigated the separation charateristics of $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$ particles with the internal pressure variation. 3-dimensional Langrangian approach was applied for the analysis of the particles separation, and then the minimum cut diameter of the separated particles and the separation rate were calculated through tracking the particle trajectories. The density of the argon gas for transporting particles was decreased corresponding the pressure decrease, consequently, caused the internal pressure drop in the cyclone separator. For that reason the finer particles were separated as the pressure was changed from an atmospheric pressure to an low pressure. Specifically, at 50 torr pressure, $Al_2O_3$ particles of the size of about 4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and $Fe_2O_3$particles of about 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ could be separated.

This paper presents numerical analysis and design optimization of various turbine blade cooling techniques with three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) analysis. The fluid flow and heat transfer have been performed using ANSYS-CFX 11.0. A fan-shaped hole for film-cooling has been carried out to improve film-cooling effectiveness with the radial basis neural network method. The injection angle of hole, lateral expansion angle of hole and ratio of length-to-diameter of the hole are chosen as design variables and spatially averaged film-cooling effectiveness is considered as an objective function which is to be maximized. The impingement jet cooling has been performed to investigate heat transfer characteristic with geometry variables. Distance between jet nozzle exit and impingement plate, inclination of nozzle and aspect ratio of nozzle hole are considered as geometry variables. The area averaged Nusselt number is evaluated each geometry variables. A rotating rectangular channel with staggered array pin-fins has been investigated to increase heat transfer performance ad to decrease friction loss using KRG modeling. Two non-dimensional variables, the ratio of the eight diameter of the pin-fins and ratio of the spacing between the pin-fins to diameter of the pin-fins selected as design variables. A rotating rectangular channel with staggered dimples on opposite walls are formulated numerically to enhance heat transfer performance. The ratio of the dimple depth and dimple diameter are selected as geometry variables.

Cyclonic-dissolved air flotation(Cyclonic-DAF), an advanced form of pressure flotation, applies a structure that enables the forming of twirling flows. This in turn allows for suspended matter to adhere to microbubbles and float to the surface of a treatment tank during the process of intake water flowing through a float separation tank. This study conducted a lab-scale test and pursued geometrical modeling using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) to establish a pilot scale design. Based on the design parameters found through the above process, a pilot cyclonic-DAF system($10m^3/hr$) for removing algae was created. Upon developing the pilot-scale cyclonic-DAF system, a type of algae coagulant(R-119) was applied as the coagulant to the system for field testing through which the removal rates of chlorophyll-a and cyanobacteria were evaluated. The chlorophyll-a and harmful cyanobacteria of the raw water at region B, the field-test site, were found to be $177.9mg/m^3$ and 652,500cells/mL respectively. Treated waters applied with 60mg/L and 100mg/L of algae coagulant presented removal efficiencies of approximately 95% and 97%, respectively. The cyanobacteria cell number of the treated waters applied with 60mg/L and 100mg/L of algae coagulant both that were equal to or less than 1,000cells/mL and were below attention level criteria for the issuance of algae boundary.

많은 플라즈마 공정 중에 건식 식각은 복잡하고 표면반응이 잘 알려지지 않은 등의 이유로 가장 어려운 분야 중의 하나이다. 이러한 이유로 식각 장치 디자인뿐만 아니라 플라즈마를 이용한 건식 식각의 공정 조건은 수많은 시행착오를 통해 시도되어 왔다. 이런 문제들을 극복하기 위해 많은 연구자들에 의해서 다양한 방법과 tool을 이용해 모델링이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $CF_4$ 가스를 이용한 유도결합 플라즈마에 의해 Si와 $SiO_2$를 식각하는 것을 상용 프로그램인 전산모사 유체역학 시뮬레이터인 CFD-ACE+를 이용하여 모델링했다. 150 mm 직경의 웨이퍼에 대한 모델은 식각 속도 실험결과와 비교 하였다. Ar의 경우 20 mTorr에서 13.56 MHz, 500 W인가 시 2.0 eV의 전자온도와 $7.3{\times}10^{11}\;cm^{-3}$의 전자밀도가 계산결과와 상당히 일치하게 측정되었고, $CF_4$를 이용한 $SiO_2$ 식각에서도 식각 속도가 평균 190 nm/min로 일치했고 식각 균일도는 3% 였다. 450 mm 웨이퍼 공정용 장치의 모델 계산 결과에서는 안테나와 기판의 거리, 챔버의 단면적, 기판 지지대와 배기구와의 높이 등 기하학적인 구조와 각 안테나 턴의 위치 및 전류비가 플라즈마 균일도에 많은 영향을 주었으며, 안쪽부터 4 turn이 있는 경우 2번째, 4번째 turn에만 1:4의 전류비를 인가했을 때, 수십%의 전자밀도의 불균일도를 4.7%까지 낮출 수 있었다. 또한, Si 식각에서는 식각 속도의 분포가 F radical의 분포와 같은 경향을 보임을 확인했고, $SiO_2$ 식각에서는 전자 밀도의 분포와 일치함을 확인함으로써 균일한 식각을 위해서 두 물질의 식각 공정에서는 다른 접근의 시도가 필요함을 확인했다. 플라즈마의 준중성 조건을 이용해서 Poisson 방정식을 풀지 않고 sheath를 해석적 모델로 처리하는 방법과, Poisson 식으로 정전기장을 푸는 방법을 통해서 입사 이온의 에너지 분포를 비교하였다. 에너지 범위는 80~120 eV로 같지만, 실험에서는 IED가 낮은 에너지 쪽이 더 높게 측정됐고, 계산 결과에서는 높은 에너지 쪽이 높았다.

Numerical studies were conducted to investigate the internal flow field and combustion characteristics of DISI engine with methanol blended in gasoline. Dual injection was applied and the characteristics were compared to single injection strategy. The amount of the fuel injection was corresponded to air-fuel ratio of each fuel for complete combustion. The preforming model in this study, software STAR-CD was employed for both modeling and solving. The operating speed condition were at 4000 rpm/WOT (Wide open throttle) where the engine was fully warmed. The results of single injection with M28 showed that the uniformity, equivalence ratio, in-cylinder pressure and temperature increased comparing to gasoline (M0). When dual injection was applied, there was no significant change in uniformity and equivalence ratio but the in-cylinder pressure and temperature increased. When M28 fuel and single injection was applied, the CO (Carbon monoxide) and NO (Nitrogen oxides) emission inside the combustion chamber increased approximately 36%, 9% comparing with benchmarking case in cylinder prior to TWC (Three Way Catalytic converter). When dual stage injection was applied, both CO and NO emission amount increased.

This study is related with fire risk assessment for fire and smoke spread of double skin facade system by use of FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) which is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. For the study, fire scenario is intended to evaluate the impact of a fire spread for glazed office building. The major purpose of this study is to analyze the fire risk depending on the width of between inner skin and outer skin and to present fire prevention method regarding double skin facade system. The result of analysis presents fire spread more vertically as intermediate space becomes narrow. It is anticipated that fire can spread upper 2 stories above the fire floor if intermediate space with not more than 1m width. Therefore, prevention of vertical fire spread is required.

The present study investigated numerically heat and mass transfer characteristics of a fixed bed reactor by using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of Fluent (ver. 13.0). The temperature and species fraction were estimated for different porosities. For modeling of the catalyst in a fixed bed tube, catalysts were regarded as the porous material, and the empirical correlation of pressure drop based on the modified Eugun equation was used for simulation. In addition, the averaged porosities were taken as 0.545, 0.409, and 0.443 and compared with non-porous state. The predicted results showed that the temperature at the tube wall became higher than that estimated along the center line of tube, leading to higher hydrogen generation by the endothermic reaction and heat transfer. As the mean porosity increases, the hydrogen yield and the outlet temperature decreased because of the pressure drop inside the reformer tube.

This study aims at finding an optimal exhaust diffuser design of a high altitude testing chamber for a low bypass turbofan engine (F404-402) with thrust pound force of 17,700 and air mass flow rate of 66kg/s ejecting at a speed of Mach 1.66. The final proposed ejector size has better pressure recovery characteristics and targets to reduce operational cost at engine performance testing. Conventional high altitude test chamber layout was adopted and first drawn in two dimensions using Autocad software so as to determine the gas path, the ejector frontal size was then determined from gas dynamics equations considering traditional gas ejection method where both the engine exhaust and cell cooling air are exhausted via the ejector. Modification to a smaller ejector with an alternative secondary cell cooling exhaust port was then performed and modelled in 3D using Solid Works software.

The present paper describes the flow analysis of the flows around the multicopter for the selection of optimal position of air data sensor. For the flow analysis, the commercial fluid dynamics solver, STAR-CCM+ was used with polygon mesh and k-w SST turbulence modeling options. For the simulation of each rotating 4 propellers, unstructured overset mesh method was used. Hovering, forward flight, ascending and descending flight conditions are selected for the analysis and airspeed and flow angle errors were investigated using the CFD results. Through the flow field analysis, sensor location above one propeller diameter distance from the propeller rotating plane showed airspeed error less than 1m/s within the typical flight conditions of multicopter except descending.

We report a realistic field-performance simulation for a new MWIR camera. It is designed for early detection of missile plumes over a distance range of a few hundred kilometers. Both imaging and radiometric performance of the camera are studied by using real-scale integrated ray tracing, including targets, atmosphere, and background scene models. The simulation results demonstrate that the camera would satisfy the imaging and radiometric performance requirements for field operation.
