In order to protect the nuclear reactor coolant system from corrosion, lithium is injected into the coolant from the chemical injection tank. The present study investigates the chemical injection characteristics of the injection tank using a low Reynolds number turbulence model. Laminar flow analysis showed very little diffusion of the jet and gave incorrect flow and concentration fields. A disk located near the inlet of the injection tank was effective in mixing the chemical additives in the top portion of the tank, and significant reduction in injection time was obtained.

A computer code was developed to simulate the filling stage of the injection/compression molding process by a finite element method. The constitutive equation used here was the compressible Leonov model. The PVT relationship was assumed to follow the Tait equation. The flow-induced birefringence was related to the calculated flow stresses through the linear stress-optical law. Simulations of a disk part under different process conditions including the variation of compression stroke and compression speed were carried out to understand their effects on birefringence variation. The simulated results were also compared with those by conventional injection molding.

A theoretical analysis of an annular injection supersonic ejector equipped with a second-throat was developed under the assumption that the secondary flow is choked aerodynamically by interaction with primary flow in the mixing chamber. The predicted secondary flow pressure agrees reasonably well with the measurements. Using the analysis, the compression ratio, the secondary flow Mach number, and the location of the choking point were presented in terms of entrainment ratio.

This study was carried out to improve the design of fuel injection pump for marine medium diesel engine. For this purpose, all parts of fuel injection pump were modeled and simulated using CATIA V5R19, FLUENT & MSC Nastran. Flow analysis for plunger cylinder and structural analysis for plunger, roller and spring, which were considered as essential parts of fuel injection pump, were performed to find the optimal design of fuel injection pump. As the results, flow of fluid in plunger cylinder was showed good results in case of 7.7~8.0m/s of plunger velocity. Furthermore, it was confirmed that plunger, roller and spring could be operated safely under 1,800bar pressure.

The reaction rate, equilibrium, and flow injection analysis methods were fundamentally evaluated for the determination of aqueous ammonia. The selected indophenol blue method was based on the formation of indophenol blue in which ammonium ion reacted with hypochlorite and phenol in alkaline solution. In the optimized reaction condition, the reaction followed 1st order reaction kinetics and the final product was stable. The absorbance measurements before and after the equilibrium were utilized for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods. The reaction rate methods, based on the relative analytical signals for the possibility of eliminating interferents, were shown to have good linear calibration curves but the detection limit and the calibration sensitivity were poorer than those in the equilibrium method. The detection limits were 32-49 pub and 24 pub for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods, respectively In the flow injection analysis, the absorbance was measured before the equilibrium reached and thus resulted in 30% reduction of calibration sensitivity. However, the detection limit was 11 ppb, indicating that the peak-to-peak noise for the blank was remarkably improved. Compared to the manual methods, the optimized experimental condition in a closed reaction system reduced the blank absorbance and the inclusion of ammonia from the atmosphere was prevented. In addition, highly reproducible mixing of sample and reagents and analytical data extracted from continuous recording showed excellent reproducibility.

In this study, design technology of a non-mechanical flow meter using fluidic oscillation generated during the fluid flow in the chamber was investigated. To with respect to design a splitter, which is the most important factor in fluid oscillation, a transient flow simulation analysis was performed for three types of shapes and changes in inlet flow velocity. The oscillation characteristics with respect to the time in each case were compared, and it was confirmed that the SM03 model was the best among the presented models. In addition, the FFT analysis of the fluid oscillation results for the SM03 model was used to obtain a linear correlation between the flow velocity change and the maximum frequency, and a frequency of 20.957 (Hz/m/s) per unit flow velocity was obtained. Finally, injection molding simulation and molding experiment of the chamber with the designed splitter were performed.

Air lift pump operated by buoyancy is mainly used for the continuous circulation and the purification of fluids. In this study, the computational flow analysis has been performed with the geometric and operating conditions of the air lift pump. The numerical data from the analysis have been verified by comparing with the previous experimental data. The following results are obtained which advance the efficiency of the air lift pump. As the submergence length of pipe increases and the pipe length over the water surface decreases, the non-dimensional mass flow ratio increases in both cases. When the position of the air injection hole is within the pipe, the circulation range of the surrounding fluid becomes widened with the distance between the air injection hole and the pipe inlet relatively becoming narrower. It is more efficient both when the air injection velocity is at 10 m/s and at 15 m/s, and when the diameter of the pipe with holes is doubled near the water surface. It is expected that these results can be provided as fundamental data for operating the air lift pump.

Recently, the engineering designer of injection mould has become more and more dependent on the CAE. In the design factors of injection mould, the shrinkage rate should be considered as one of the important performances to produce the reliable products. therefore the shrinkage rate can be mostly calculated by the MoldFlow and Pro-engineering. in the design process. However it is not easy to predict the shrinkage rate of a plastic injection mold in its design process because the analysis can take minutes to hours, the high computational costs of performing the analysis limit their use in design optimization. In this study, the surrogate models, DACE model, based on the Kriging in order to optimize the shrinkage rate of electric microwave oven window is used in lieu of the original models, facilitating design optimization.

The gate location in injection molding has a significant influence on the quality and productivity. Therefore, injection molding CAE is used to determine the gate location. With increasing injection molding CAE and the adoption of a 3D mesh, which takes more computation time for analysis, gate location optimization in the shortest time and least resources is the most challenging issue. In this paper, we propose a methodology for optimization based on the flow length to consider the flow balance and weld line. In addition, the flow balance is obtained in the disc-type plate while the weld lines exit the slit-holes to avoid a stress concentration.
