The instability of two-phase loop thermosyphons was investigated experimentally and analytically. Three orifice type inserts were used to study the effect of change in the pressure drop in the flow channel of the TLT on the flow instability and temperature fluctuation. It is observed that a decrease in the size of the orifice insert from 3.7 mm (no insert) to 0.71 mm drastically reduced the fluctuation of the temperature, especially at the evaporator section of the TLT. With the orifice type insert of 0.71 mm for the TLT, the overall temperature fluctuation was almost completely eliminated, especially at higher power input to the TLT The analysis based on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability theory seems to predict reasonable well the loop stability state of the TLT with experimentally determined constant factors.

The flow characteristics of an intermittent fuel injection into a stationary ambient air were investigated using gasoline. The measurements were made by two-channel, air cooling type Phase Doppler Anemometer(PDA) system (DANTEC, 750 MW). And a pintle type injector of MPI (Multi-point Port Injection) system was utilized as a fuel injector. The PDA receiver optic was set up in a 60.deg. C forward scatter arrangement to obtain the optimum scattering signal of fuel droplets. The data were obtained by synchronizing PDA system with the fuel injection period, and the axial and radial velocity and turbulent components of fuel droplets were mainly measured for the analysis of temporal and spatial distribution depending upon the fuel injection pressures.

The performance of a regenerative pump is affected by many parameters, especially blade shape of impeller, leakage flow in the clearance and head losses at the inlet & outlet. An impeller with J-shape blade was designed and 5 times scale up model was tested at similarity conditions to evaluate the performance. Performance variations with clearance change were executed. The amounts of leakage flow through the clearance were estimated using the one-dimensional leakage flow models and analysis. Main leakage flow is generated through the gap between the impeller and casing. The inlet & outlet head losses were also estimated. Such corrections are very important to evaluate the final performance of the impeller and pump. Cavitation test was also performed at 1,200 rpm. NPSH of the regenerative pump was obtained and growth of cavity within blades was visualized.

In dehumidification evaporation cooling system. the regeneratie evaporative cooler(REC) makes an important role to reduce the sensible cooling load in the system through evaporative cooling, By this reason, many studies about increasing the cooling capacity of the REC were undertook. In this paper, we analyzed the cooling characteristics of the REC due to the structures of the REC and determined the best structure for the REC's effectiveness and cooling capacity. From the study. we could obtain some important results: at first. corrugated type has the benefit to expand the channel width of the REC, But because the type has some weak points about the size and weight. there is almost no benefit to improve the performance of the REC. Through these reasons. we decided that finned type is the best structure to improve the performance of the REC.

본 연구는 변형수제 중 하나로서 "ㄱ" 모양을 갖는 L형 수제(L-type Groyne)에 대한 수리실험 연구이다. 연구 목적은 수제설계를 위한 기초자료인 수제주변(수로부, 수제역)의 흐름특성을 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 수리실험을 통하여 수제설계의 주요 수리특성인 주수로의 유속변화, 흐름중심선의 변화 및 흐름분리영역을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 흐름중심선은 수로내의 최대유속이 발생되는 유선으로 정의하였으며 흐름분리영역은 본류영역인 주흐름과 수제영역인 재순환영역(recirculation zone)의 경계를 나타낸다. 5가지 수제 팔길이 조건에 대하여 유속을 변화시키면서 수리실험을 수행하였고, LSPIV(Large Scale Particle Image Velocimetry)기법을 적용하여 수제주변 흐름장을 측정 및 분석하였다. 실험결과 주흐름의 유속은 최대 1.5배 증가되는 것으로 나타났으며 수제 팔길이의 영향은 적었다. 흐름중심선의 폭은 수로폭의 $55{\sim}58%$ 구간으로 변화되었으며 흐름중심선과 흐름분리영역은 Froude 수에 큰 변화를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

굴뚝의 백연을 줄이기 위하여 6종의 전열판을 선정하여 각각에 대한 열유동 특성을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 전열판의 열전달 성능(열전달 능력, 압력강하, 난류운동 에너지, 열전달계수 등)을 조사하기 위하여 상용 전산유체역학 프로그램인 ANSYS CFX Ver.14를 활용하여 균일유동 조건에서 수치해석을 수행하였다, 다른 유로구조를 가지는 6종의 전열판에 대한 전산해석으로부터 기본형, 사각형, 삼각형, 파형 열교환기의 열유동 과정이 모사되었다. 균일유동 해석으로부터 6종 열교환기들의 열전달 능력, 압력강하, 난류운동 에너지, 열전달계수들은 다른 경향을 보였으며, 유로 내의 열유동 특성은 주어진 유량, 전열판 형상, 종횡비에 좌우됨을 알 수 있었으며, 동일 파형에서는 종횡비가 낮을수록 열전달 성능이 우수하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 백연저감용 열교환기의 설계 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

As a single-channel pump is used for wastewater treatment, this particular pump type can prevent performance reduction or damage caused by foreign substances. However, the design methods for single-channel pumps are different and more difficult than those for general pumps. In this study, a design optimization method to improve the hydrodynamic performance of a single-channel pump impeller is implemented. Numerical analysis was carried out by solving three-dimensional steady-state incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the shear stress transport turbulence model. As a state-of-the-art impeller design method, two design variables related to controlling the internal cross-sectional flow area of a single-channel pump impeller were selected for optimization. Efficiency was used as the objective function and was numerically assessed at twelve design points selected by Latin hypercube sampling in the design space. An optimization process based on a radial basis neural network model was conducted systematically, and the performance of the optimum model was finally evaluated through an experimental test. Consequently, the optimum model showed improved performance compared with the base model, and the unstable flow components previously observed in the base model were suppressed remarkably well.

The velocity and pressure fields of a ship's propulsion mechanism of the Weis-Fogh type, in which a airfoil moves reciprocally in a channel, are studied in this paper using the advanced vortex method. The airfoil and the channel are approximated by a finite number of source and vortex panels, and the free vortices are introduced from the body surfaces. The viscous diffusion of fluid is represented using the core-spreading model to the discrete vortices. The velocity is calculated on the basis of the generalized Biot-Savart low and the pressure field is calculated from integrating the equation given by the instantaneous velocity and vorticity fields. Two-dimensional unsteady viscose flows of this propulsion mechanism are numerically clarified, and the calculated results agree well with the experimental ones.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of the channel in corrugated plate type heat exchangers numerically. Numerical work has been conducted using the Reynolds Stress Model(RSM) by utilizing the commercial finite-volume code, FLUENT. Based on this model, the dependence of heat transfer and friction factor on geometrical parameters have been investigated. It is found that larger corrugation angle give higher values of heat transfer coefficients and friction factors. As the reynolds number increases, the heat transfer coefficient also increases. It is also observed that the heat transfer coefficient reaches maximum while the friction factor stays relatively low at same corrugation angle. Through the analysis, it is found that the optimum corrugation angle for the heat exchanger performance exists. It is noted that the flow repulsions at the contact point of the two fluid streams make the low mixing more active for larger corrugation angle and high reynolds number.

To improve the conventional optical chromatography, the continuous particle separator, the cross-type optical chromatography, is fabricated using micro-channel and fiber optics. A laser beam irradiates into the liquid solution containing particles in the perpendicular to the liquid flow direction. The different sized polystyrene latex micro-spheres, $2.0\;{\mu}m\;{\pm}\;0.02\;{\mu}m$, $5.0\;{\mu}m\;{\pm}\;0.05\;{\mu}m$, and $10.0\;{\mu}m\;{\pm}\;0.09\;{\mu}m$ diameter, are separated in cross-type optical chromatography. The separated particles are delivered to down stream in the micro-channel maintaining the retention distance continuously. The measured retention distances for different sized particles well agree with theoretical predictions.
