A wavelet method is presented in order to improve the computational efficiency of two dimensional unsteady flow problems while maintaining the order of accuracy of conventional CFD schemes. First, by using the interpolating wavelet transformation including decomposition and thresholding, an adaptive dataset to a solution is constructed. Then, inviscid and viscous fluxes are calculated only at the points within an adaptive dataset, which enhances the computational efficiency. Second, thresholding step is modified to maintain the spatial and temporal accuracy of conventional CFD schemes automatically by selecting the threshold value between user-defined value and the magnitude of spatial or temporal truncation error. The wavelet method suggested in this study is successfully applied to various unsteady flow problems and it is shown that the computational efficiency is enhanced with maintaining the computational accuracy of CFD schemes.

Prediction of performance and operating characteristics of a state-of-the-art ultra-supercritical (USC) steam turbine is an important issue in many ways. Theoretical and empirical correlation equations, developed a few decades ago, have been widely used in commercial programs for a prediction of performance. To improve of these correlation equations and apply them to the high pressure turbine of a USC steam turbine, computational fluid dynamic analysis was carried out and correlation equations to calculate efficiency variation of each stage were made. Both fluid dynamic characteristic and thermodynamic performance was analyzed for the development of the correlation equations. In particular, the impact of flow addition through an overload valve (OLV) between stages was examined throughly. The trend of pressure drop due to the flow mixing by the OLV flow addition was analyzed and an efficiency correlation equation considering the OLV flow was also made.

The performance of gas-fired boilers were experimentally investigated. The heat exchanger used for the experiments consisted of circular tube with longitudinal fins for the gas side and a spiral coil for the water side. The burner was located at the top of the heat exchanger, and the burned gas flowed down to the exit. The experiments carried out for different water flow rates, the heat capacities of the boiler and the number of baffle. The thermal efficiency of the upward flow was higher than that of the downward flow of the water in the heat exchanger. As the boiler capacity increased, the thermal efficiency decreased. As the number of the baffles increase, the thermal efficiency increased and the increasing rate of the efficiency decreased. The gas-side overall heat transfer coefficient was independent of the flow rate of the water. The effect of the number of the baffles on the heat transfer coefficient was greater than that of the boiler capacity.

In the present study a detailed examination of various porous media models for predicting filtration efficiency and pressure drop of diesel particulate filter (DPF), such as sphere-in-cell and constricted tube models, are attempted. In order for demonstrating their validities of correct estimation on permeability, geometry of property configurations common in commercial cordierite DPFs are correlated to the porous media flow models, and validations of predicted filtration efficiencies due to the use of different unit collectors are made with experiments. The result shows that the porosity, pore size and permeability of cordierite DPF can be successfully correlated by Kuwabara flow field with correction factor of 0.6. The unit collector efficiency predicted by sphere-in-cell model agrees very well with measurements in accumulation mode, whereas that by constricted tube model with significant prediction error.

In a general centrifugal pump, if it is operated in a two-phase flow the activity of the impeller usually degrades and occasionally losses its function. However, the effect of break down of centrifugal pump due to entrained air has not been clarified yet. This paper shows the air-water two-phase flow characteristics of closed type and semi-open type impellers. In a sing1e-phase flow, closed-type impeller has higher efficiency and head. But in air-water two-phase flow semi-open type impeller's rates of decreases of efficiency and head are decreased.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the overall performance and local flow characteristics of sirocco fan in a range hood. Measurement of overall performance for sirocco fans were conducted based on AMCA standard 210. The effects of flow blockages due to the motor inside the fan on the fan performance were investigated by experimentally and numerically and the results were compared with each other. The numerical and experimental results show the inlet flow blockage reduces the performance (ie. fan static pressure, design flow rate, maximum efficiency and free delivery flow rate) of fan. It is found that the blockage makes the flow field highly non-uniform through the blade and cause the efficiency decrement.

Experimental investigation was conducted to study the effects of pitch angle maximum camber on the performance and noise of an axial-flow fan used in outdoor-unit of air -conditioner. For this study the axial-flow fan whose pitch angle can be varied was made and the Specific sound Pressure Level and other coefficients were measured using the anechoic fan tester. It is found that pitch angle affects more severly than the maximum camber on the fan performance. On the while the maximum camber affects much on the specific sound power level. Present results show that it is important to choose the optimum pitch angle and maximum camber to design the high-performance and low-noise axial-flow fan and specific noise measured in the anechoic fan tester can be sued effectively for the design of low-noise fan.

Numerical simulations for the effects of secondary flow and turbulence diffusion on the particle concentration distributions have been carried out for the single stage electrostatic precipitator. The electrohydrodynamic secondary flow, particle concentration distribution and collection efficiency have been evaluated as a function of dimensionless parameters such as Re, $N_{end}$, $P_{e}$ x. The results of simulations show that for increasing secondary flow intensity the concentration distribution is drastically deformed and collection efficiency is decreased which is more than due to turbulent diffusion.n.n.

This paper describes the improvement of engine cooling system. To improve engine cooling performance, the authors approached in two ways. One is to increase water pump performance, changing of impeller shape and lightening of material were carried out. The second one is cooling efficiency rise, which were investigated with head gasket coolant flow passage optimization with flow visualization technique. The test results show that water pump performance was increased effectively, reduction of pump drive torque, and increase of pump flow-rate and pressure rise. Gasket hole pattern optimization test results represent an optimized head coolant flow which stands cross flow from exhaust to intake port side and small vortex were removed.

터터보 과급은 디젤엔진과 가솔린엔진 모두에서 핵심기술이다. 특히 가솔린엔진에서 엔진 다운사이징 등 다른 제어 기술과 결합하여 이산화탄소(CO2) 배출을 감소시키는 데 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 승용차용 가솔린엔진에 장착되는 트윈 스크롤 터빈 터보과급기에서 맥동유동의 터빈 효율을 측정하였다. 맥동 생성장치가 있는 저온 테스트 벤치를 제작하여 맥동 유동이 있는 비정상상태의 압력과 온도를 측정하고 터빈 효율을 산출하였다. 테스트 벤치는 공기 압축기, 트윈 스크롤 터빈, 온도 및 압력 측정 장치 등으로 구성되었다. 실제 승용차용 엔진에서 주로 사용되는 중저속 엔진 작동 영역에 해당하는 맥동 주파수 25.0 Hz와 33.3 Hz를 공급하면서 터보과급기 회전속도를 60,000 rpm에서 100,000 rpm까지 변화시키며 측정을 수행하였다. 이때 압축비를 1.088에서 1.600 사이의 값으로 조정하였다. 이 측정 조건에서 터빈 효율은 0.517~0.544 값을 보였다. 맥동 주파수 33.3 Hz의 경우, 터빈 회전수 60,000 rpm에서 터빈 효율의 변동은 7.7%이나 터빈 회전수 100,000 rpm에서 변동은 2.6%로 터빈 회전수가 증가함에 따라 맥동의 영향은 감소하였다. 맥동 유동에서의 터빈 효율은 정상 유동 터빈 효율에 비해 터빈 회전수 60,000 rpm 인 경우 7.0%, 회전수 100,000 rpm 인 경우 3.0% 낮은 값을 보이고 있어 맥동 유동이 터빈 효율을 악화시키는 결과를 보였으며 이러한 영향은 터빈 회전수가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다.
