부상화염에서 노즐직경과 연료유량을 변화하면서 화염전파속도와 연료과농영역, 연료희박영역, 확산화염 영역에서의 체적연소반응속도의 변화 특성을 수치해석을 통하여 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 사용한 3가지 연료노즐 직경(d=0.25, 0.30, 0.35mm)에서 연료분출속도를 증가시키면 화염전파속도가 증가하지만 변화폭은 4.3%를 넘지 않는다. 연료분출속도를 증가함에 따른 연료량 증가는 직접적이고 선형적으로 체적연소반응속도에 연관되어 있음을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 부상화염에서 연료량의 증가는 화염전파속도 보다 체적연소반응속도가 연료량 변화에 대응함을 알 수 있었다.

In the core of the nuclear power plant of PWR, several cases of fuel failure by unknown causes have been experienced for various fuel types. From the common features of the failure pattern, failure lead time, flow conditions, and flow induced vibration characteristics in nuclear fuel bundles, it is deduced that the fretting wear failure of the fuel rod at the spacer grid position is due to the fluidelastic vibration. In the past, fluidelastic vibration was simulated by quasi -static semi-analytical model, so called the static model, which could not account for the interaction between the rods within a bundle. To overcome this defect and to provide for more flexibilities applicable to the fuel bundle, Tanaka's unsteady model was modified to accomodate the geometrical differences and governing parameter changes during the operations such as the number of rods, pitch to diameter ratio (P/D), spring force, damping coefficient, etc. The critical velocity was calculated by solving the governing equations with the MATLAB code. A comparison between the estimated critical velocity and the test result shows a good agreement. Finally, the level of decrease of the critical velocity due to the reduction in the spring force and reduced damping coefficient due to the radiation exposure is also estimated.

This study addresses the contamination sensitivity test of a typical fuel pump for an automotive vehicle. The objective of the study is to find the contamination sensitivity coefficient of a fuel pump on specific contaminant particle sizes so that an optimal fuel filter could be selected. To achieve the objective, the degradation of discharge flow rate of the fuel pump is measured under the experiments of various contaminants size ranges of ISO test dust up to $80\;{\mu}m$. The fundamental theory of contamination sensitivity is introduced and the contamination sensitivity coefficients are estimated using the experimental data. Maximum contamination sensitivity coefficient of $5\chi\;10^{-6}\;L/min{\cdot}Ea$ is found in the contaminant size range of $40\;{\mu}m\~50\;{\mu}m$. The magnified picture of the surface of vane disc reveals that the abrasive wear is the principal cause of discharge flow rate degradation. Hence, this study reveals that a high efficiency filter for contaminant particles especially in the size range of $30\;{\mu}m\~70\;{\mu}m$ especially should be used to maintain the service life of the fuel filter.

This paper describes performance enhancement of a fuel cell's blower by controlling flow path. Different duct diameter at the inlet and outlet of the blower is selected for reducing blower noise level and input power. Hole diameter and the number of hole at the check valve are tested to reduce the input power of the blower. Two types of blower, fuel pressurized blower and cathode blower, are considered in the present study. Throughout experimental measurements of the test blowers, it is found that duct diameter is effective to reduce noise level and input power in the fuel cell blower. Noise reduction due to the optimal duct diameter at the outlet is more effective when flow rate is relatively large. That is, cathode blower has larger noise reduction compared to fuel pressurized blower because of larger flower rate. Input power of the blower can be reduced by controlling the hole diameter and the number of hole at the check valve.

To achieve the objective, the degradation of discharge flow rate of fuel pump was measured under the experiments of various contaminants size ranges of ISO test dust up to 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The fundamental theory of contamination sensitivity was introduced and the contamination sensitivity coefficients were estimated using the experimental data. Maximum contamination sensitivity coefficient of $5{\times}10^{-6}$ L/minㆍEa was found on the contaminant size range of 40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$∼50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The magnified picture of the surface of vane disc revealed that the abrasive wear was the principal cause of discharge flow rate degradation. Hence, this study revealed that high efficiency filter on the contaminant particle size range of 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$∼70${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ especially should be used to maintain the service lift of the fuel filter.

The traditional method to calculate the gravity feed is to assume that only one tank in fuel system supplies the needed fuel to the engine, and then calculated for the single branch. Actually, all fuel tanks compete for supplying oil. Our method takes into consideration all fuel tanks and therefore, we believe, our method is intrinsically superior to traditional methods and is closer to understanding the real seriousness of the oil supply situation. Firstly, the thesis gives the mathematical model for fuel flow pipe, pump, check valve and the simulation model for fuel tank. On the basis of flow network theory and time difference method, we established a new calculation method for gravity feed oil of aeroplane fuel system, secondly. This model can solve the multiple-branch and transient process simulation of gravity feed oil. Finally, we give a numerical example for a certain type of aircraft, achieved the variations of oil level and flow mass per second of each oil tanks. In addition, we also obtained the variations of the oil pressure of the engine inlet, and predicted the maximum time that the aeroplane could fly safely under gravity feed. These variations show that our proposed method of calculations is satisfactory.

연소과정 중에 발생하는 질소산화물을 저감하는 기술인 MILD 연소에 대하여 연료노즐과 공기노즐의 위치와 공기유량을 변화하면서 나타나는 연소특성을 수치해석을 통하여 연구하였다. 본 연구의 MILD 연소로는 연료노즐과 공기 노즐 사이에 연소배기가스의 배출구가 있는 연소로를 이용하였다. 공기노즐은 8개, 연료노즐은 4개를 사용하였다. 연료노즐이 연소로 중앙 부근에 위치한 연소로의 경우에 공기유량이 적을 때는 연소반응대가 연료노즐에서부터 연소로 벽면으로 치우치게 되지만 공기유량이 커지면 연소반응대가 연료노즐 측에서 시작하여 연료노즐 상부로 형성된다. 공기노즐이 연소로 중앙부분에 위치한 경우에 공기유량이 적을 때는 연소반응대가 공기노즐 부근에서 시작하여 연소로 벽면으로 치우치지만 공기유량이 증가하면 연소반응대가 연료노즐 측으로 옮겨가게 된다. 두 가지 경우 모두 공기유량이 증가하면 연소반응대에서 최대온도가 증가하고 따라서 배기가스에서의 NOx 농도가 증가한다. 두 가지 노즐 위치에서의 NOx 생성을 비교해 보면 공기노즐이 연소로 중앙에 위치한 경우가 연료노즐이 연소로 중앙에 위치한 경우보다 NOx 농도가 현저히 적음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 NOx 저감과 연료의 미연가스 배출을 감안할 때 공기노즐이 연소로 중앙에 위치하고 이론공기량에 해당하는 공기량을 분출할 때 NOx 생성에 가장 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, effects of flow types and size of molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) were investigated using CFD simulation. In the simulation, the current collector of MCFCs were assumed to be an porous media. With the area of $0.09m^2$, the effect of flow types such as Co-flow, Counter-flow, Cross-flow were studied. After that the effect of the size and flow direction was studied. Among three-flow types, MCFCs with co-flow type shows more uniform distribution and current density distribution.

최근 연료경제성 및 강화되는 배출가스 규제를 만족하기 위하여 대체연료의 하나인 LPG에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 현재 LPG 차량에 적용되고 있는 제3세대 LPG 연료공급방식인 LPLi(Liquid Phase LPG Injection) 시스템은 가솔린 차량과 비교하여 배출가스는 적게 배출하면서 동등한 출력을 낼 수 있게 하는 핵심 기술이다. LPG 연료를 고압의 액상 상태로 공급하기 위해서는 LPG 펌프가 필요하다. 연료펌프의 성능을 저하 시킬 수 있는 연료 내 불순물을 제거하기 위하여 연료펌프에는 연료필터가 장착되어 있으며 장착되는 연료필터의 종류에 따라서 연료펌프의 성능도 변하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 임펠라 방식을 채택한 LPG 연료펌프에서 극세사, 이중메쉬, 외장형 필터의 세 가지 필터에서 부하별 토출성능 및 효율을 파악하였으며 온도 변화에 따른 펌프유량 변화를 측정하였다.
