This paper describes the continuous flow operation of membraneless sodium perborate fuel cell using acid/alkaline bipolar electrolyte. Here, hydrazine is used as a fuel and sodium perborate is used as an oxidant under Alkaline-acid media configuration. Sodium perborate affords hydrogen peroxide in aqueous medium. In our operation, the laminar flow based microfluidic membranleless fuel cell achieved a maximum power density of $27.2mW\;cm^{-2}$ when using alkaline hydrazine as the anolyte and acidic perborate as the catholyte at room temperature with a fuel mixture flow rate of $0.3mL\;min^{-1}$. The simple planar structured membraneless sodium perborate fuel cell enables high design flexibility and easy integration of the microscale fuel cell into actual microfluidic systems and portable power applications.

Hard disk drives (HDD) in computer are used extensively as data storage capacity. The trend in the computer industry to produce smaller disk drives rotating at higher speeds requires an improved understanding of fluid motion in the space between disks. PIV measurement was used fer the unsteady flow between the center pair of four disks of four times larger than common radius of HDD disk at several rpm in a fixed cylindrical enclosure. The boundary between inner region and outer region is detected using PIV measurement and the number of dominant vortices s determined clearly. Tip vortices generated by an obstruction with actual-like configuration can be found at inner region. Oscillating flow from the obstruction appears at outer region with complex flow pattern.

A numerical model based on the SOLA-VOF method, which can calculate the transient free-surface configuration of the melt, has been developed in order to analyze melt flow in the investment mold. The computational results were compared with experimental results obtained from pure aluminum investment casting. Heat transfer analysis, with and without consideration of melt flow effect has been performed. It can be concluded that analysis of melt flow in the investment mold, provides the optimum conditions for gating design. It also enables more precise solidification simulation, since heat loss, while filling the thin and complex investment mold, plays an important role in determining the solidification sequence.

In order to investigate the operating characteristics of a supersonic steam ejector, the axisymmetric, compressible, Reynolds-averaged, Navier-Stokes computations are performed using a finite volume method. The secondary and back pressures of the ejector system with a second throat are changed to investigate their effects on the suction mass flow. Three operation modes of the steam ejector system, the critical mode, subcritical mode and back flow mode, are discussed to predict the critical suction mass flow. The present computations are validated with some experimental results. The secondary and back pressures of the supersonic steam ejector significantly affect the critical suction mass flow. The present computations predict the experimented critical mass flow with fairly good accuracy. A good correlation is obtained for the critical suction mass flow. The present results show that provided the primary nozzle configuration and secondary pressure are known, we can predict the critical mass flow with good accuracy.

The paper concentrates on an experimental study of the pressure drop in double-layered packed beds formed by glass spheres, having the configuration of horizontal and vertical stratification. Both single-phase and two-phase flow tests are performed. The pressure drop during the test is recorded and the measured data are compared with those of homogeneous beds consisting of mono-size particles. The results show that for the horizontally stratified bed with fine particles atop coarse particles, the pressure drop in top layer is found higher than those of homogenous bed consisting of the same smaller size particles, while the measured pressure drop of bottom part is similar with those of similar homogenous bed. But for the homologous bed with upside-down structure, the stratification has little or no effect on the pressure drop of the horizontally stratified bed, and the pressure drop of each layer is almost same as that of homogeneous bed packed with corresponding spheres. Additionally, in vertically stratified bed, the pressure drops on the left and right side is almost equal and between those in homogeneous beds. It is speculated that vertically stratified structure may lead to lateral flow which redistributes the flow rate in different parts of packed bed.

Recently, according to increase in the requirement of electric power, a thermoelectric power plant equipped with pulverized coal combustion system is highly valued, because coal has abundant deposits and a low price compared with others. For efficient use of coal fuel, most of plant makers are studying to improve combustion performance and flame stability, and reduce pollutants emission. One of these studies is how to control the profile of particle injection and velocity dependant on coal nozzle configuration. Basically, nozzle which has mixed flow of gas and particle is required to have the balanced coal concentration at exit, but it is very difficult to obtain that by itself without help of other device. In this study, coal distribution and pressure drop in gas-solid flow are calculated by numerical method in nozzle with various shapes of venturi diffuser as a means to get even coal particle distribution. The tentative correlations of pressure drop and exit coal distribution are deduced as function of the height, length and reducing angle of venturi from the calculated results. When coal hurner nozzle is designed, these equations are very useful to optimize the shape of venturi which minimize uneven particle distribution and pressure drop within coal nozzle.

가스터빈 연소기의 스월러와 노즐을 제작하여 스월러 형상 변화에 따른 비연소시 케로신 분무 특성과 연소시에 열유동장의 특성을 조사하였다. 액적의 크기(SMD)와 속도를 파악하기 위해서 위상도플러입자분석기(PDPA)를 이용하였고, 연소 온도를 조사하기 위해서 R-type 열전대(Platinum vs. Platinum-13%rhodium)를 이용하였다. 분무와 화염의 가시화는 스틸 카메라를 이용하였다. 스월러각이 커서 스월수가 큰 경우에 분무 및 화염이 반경방향으로 빠르게 발전하였다. 화염은 스월수가 작을 때는 원추형의 화염이 형성되지만 스월수가 커지면서 스월 모멘텀이 중심축으로 이송되고 혼합이 촉진되어 원통형으로 바뀌었다.

슬롯과 다공판을 이용한 충격파와 난류 경계층 간섭유동의 피동제어에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 슬롯의 다양한 형상 변화가 간섭유동에 미치는 영향이 관찰되었으며, 이를 위하여 간섭유동 후방에서 피토/벽압력 분포 및 쉴리렌, 유맥선, 오일막 간섭 줄무늬 형상과 같은 유동가시화 결과 등이 얻어졌다. 유동방향의 슬롯의 경우 간섭유동 후방에서 제어되지 않은 경우와 비교하여 보다 높은 피토압력이 국소적으로 관찰되었으나, 폭방향 슬롯제어는 전체적으로 제어되지 않은 경우에 비하여 피토압력 크기에서 큰 장점을 보이지 않았다.

본 연구에서는 열차와 지하철 역사 형상긴의 유통 흐름에 대한 상호작용을 고려하여 승강장 스크린도어(PSD)봐 비정상 풍압해석을 수행하였다. PSD의 주목적은 열차가 역사 안으로 진입할 때, 인명사고를 예방하고 풍압, 오염된 분진, 소음 등을 차단하는데 있다. PSD에 대한 비정상 풍압수준을 정확하게 예측하기 위하여 이동격자법을 활용한 전산유체역학 기법이 적용되었다. 개방형 및 밀폐형 역사가 고려되었으며, 열차가 역사를 통과하는 경우와 역사에서 멈추는 경우에 대한 풍압 수준을 상호 비교하였다.
