The serpentine flow channel is widely used in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) to prevent flooding phenomena because it effectively removes liquid water in the flow channel. The pressure drop between inlet and outlet increases as compared with straight channels due to minor losses associated with the corners of the turning configurations. This results in a strong pressure gradient between adjacent channels in specific regions, where some amount of reactant gas can be delivered to catalyst layers by convection through a gas diffusion layer (GDL). The enhancement of the convective flow in the GDL, so-called bypass flow, affects fuel cell performance since the bypass flow influences the reactant transport and thus its concentration over the active area. In the present paper, for the bipolar plate design, a simple analytic model has been proposed to predict the bypass flow in the serpentine type flow channels and validated with three-dimensional numerical simulation results.

연소기기에서 연소반응과정이 일어날 때 연소로 내 고온의 온도 분위기에서 공기 중의 산소와 질소가 반응하여 질소산화물이 발생하게 된다. 발생한 질소산화물을 저감하기 위하여 화력발전소나 폐기물 소각로는 촉매를 이용한 탈질설비를 설치하고 있는데 이에 따른 설치와 유지비용이 많이 소요된다. 연소기기에서 질소산화물을 저감하기 위한 여러 가지 방법 중에 배기가스 재순환 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 배기가스 재순환 배관에 코안다 노즐을 사용하여 배기가스를 재순환하는 재순환 버너에 대하여 전산유체해석을 통해 연구를 수행하였으며 냉간 유동에서 배기가스 재순환 유동 특성을 살펴보았고 코안다 노즐의 공기 측 간격 변화와 공기 유량 변화에 따른 배기가스 재순환 유량 특성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 버너 형상은 배기가스 재순환 흡입구와 출구는 원통 버너의 중심을 향하지 않고 접선 방향으로 설치되어 있어서 버너 내부에서 선회 유동이 형성 되었으며 이에 따라 원통 내부의 중심부분에 역류가 일어나는 특성을 관찰하였다. 또한, 코안다 노즐의 공기 측 간격은 0.5mm일 때는 배기가스 재순환 유량이 공기량 보다 약 2.5배 이었고 1.0mm일 때는 약 1.5배로 나타났으며 같은 공기 측 간격에서 공기량을 증가하면 배기가스 재순환 유량은 약간 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The sonic nozzle is widely used as reference device for calibrating flowmeters In gas flow measurement and its use requires the Critical Flow Factor(CFF) based on the thermodynamic properties of the gas at the nozzle throat. ISO-9300 provides the calculating method of the factor. But since the CFF from this method show an error over ${\pm}0.5%$ In specific conditions and of ${\pm}0.1{\sim}{\pm}0.2%$ in common Natural Gas(NG) custody transfer condition. this method cannot be applied for gas flow measurement with sonic nozzle. Each research bodies or organizations of the world have joined in order to calculate the CFF more accurately. They have performed these works using their own method and compared the results with each other under the management of ISO. KOGAS have joined those works, because the high-pressure natural gas flow calibration facility of KOGAS will be constructed in late 1999, and then had necessities to calculate a CFF accurately. The calculation method of KOGAS was using the equation of state from AGA-8('94), high accuracy model of ideal gas properties and the solutions of thermodynamic equations. The evaluation results have had a very good consistency within ${\pm}0.05%$ in most NO custody transfer conditions compared to the speed of sound for methane and also shown that the CFF was within ${\pm}0.1%$ compared to the results of other works of the world.

A high resolution scheme for solving gas-liquid two-phase flows with cavitation is described. This scheme uses the curvilinear coordinate grid and solves the density based momentum equations for mixture of gas-liquid medium with a preconditioning method to treat both compressible and incompressible flow characteristics. The present preconditioned method is based on the Runge-Kutta explicit finite-difference scheme, and is improved by using the diagonalization, the flux difference splitting and the MUSCL-TVD schemes to save computational effort and to increase stability and resolvability, especially at gas-liquid contact surfaces. A homogeneous equilibrium cavitation model is used to treat the gas-liquid two-phase medium in cavitating flow as a locally homogeneous pseudo-single-phase medium. Therefore, it is easy to solve cavitating flow, including wave propagation, large density changes and incompressible flow characteristic at low Mach number. Some numerical results obtained by the present scheme are shown.

The bed combustion in an incinerator interacts with the gas flow region through heat and mass transfer. Combined bed combustion and gas flow simulations are performed to investigate this coupled interaction for various operating conditions and furnace configurations. Radiation onto the bed from the furnace is interrelated with the combustion characteristics in the bed, and is also affected by the flow pattern in the gas flow region. Since the contribution of gaseous emission to the total radiation is significant, an adequate flow pattern in a well-designed furnace shape would lead to an increased heat influx on the bed, especially in the early stage of the waste combustion. Advancing the initiation point of the waste combustion can also reduce the size of the lower gas temperature region above the bed, which can be achieved by controlling operating conditions such as the waste feeding rate, the bed height and the primary air flow distribution.

Saltation occurs in horizontal flow of solid and gas when the carrier gas velocity is small enough to permit enough to settling of the solid particles within the transport line. So we should examine the pneumatic flow system to lessen the unbured carbon in the power plant. In this paper the saltation velocity was studied on the various solid flow rate in the constant pipe diameter and on the various temperatures of the flow gas. The air velocity in the power plant transport lines was also surveyed in order to compare with the saltation velocity. As the solid flow rate increased in the constant diameter, saltation velocity increased and as the temperater of the flow gas inereased in the transport line, saltation velocity also increased.

Gas flow characteristics within the cylinder is important factors in impoving lean combustion stability. This paper shows the effects of various flow fields generated by a swirl control valve(SCV) on combustion process in a 4-valve spark ignition engine. An impulse swirl/tumble meter was used to elucidation the steady-state flow characteristics, and a rotating grating type LDV was developed to measure the mean velocity and tunbulence intensity in relation to the crank angle. These methodologies were applied to clarify the correlation between gas flow characteristics and combustion stability at a lean air fuel ratio. An analysis of the correlation revealed the gas flow conditions required to optimize a lean-burn system.

In order to visually analyze the flow characteristics, gas was injected into the liquid bath through nozzle installed at the center of bottom of the bath. When gas was injected into the liquid bath, several flow patterns were observed bubble-liquid plumb, the spout flow that occurred at the free surface, liquid circulation flow by bubble's behavior, etc. Various bubbles, from small bubbles to Taylor bubbles, consisted of the bubble-liquid plumb. In the pure liquid region, the large and small several vortices were formed and irregularly circulated. These irregular repetition and circulation play a important role of mixing in the bath. The vortices were developed in the upper and the side wall regions and the movement of flow in the low region was very small. It is known as 'dead zone'.

The gun-type gas burner adopted in this study is generally composed of some slits and swirl vanes. Therefore, this paper is studied to investigate the effect of slits and swirl vanes on the turbulent flow fields in the horizontal plane of gas swirl burner with a cone type baffle plate measured by using X-probe from hot-wire anemometer system. This experiment is carried out at flow rate $450\;{\ell}/min$, which is equivalent to the combustion air flow rate necessary for heat release 15,000 kcal/hr in gas furnace, in the test section of subsonic wind tunnel. When the burner has only swirl vanes, the axial mean velocity component shows the characteristic that spreads more remarkably toward radial direction than axial one, but when it has only slits, that is developed spreading more toward axial direction than radial one. Therefore, because the biggest speed is spurted in slits and it derive main flow toward axial direction encircling rotational flow that comes out from swirl vane that is situated on the inside of slits, both slits and swirl vanes composing of cone type gas burner act role that decreases the speed near slits and increases the flow speed in the central part of a burner. Moreover, because rotational flow by swirl vanes and fast jet flow by slits increase turbulent intensities effectively coexisting, the turbulent kinetic energy is distributed with a bigger size fairly near slits than burner models which have only slit or swirl vanes within X/R<0.6410.

연소로에서 질소산화물을 저감하기 위하여 여러 가지 방법으로 연구가 진행되어 오고 있는데 그 중에 배기가스를 재순환하여 저감하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구는 배기가스를 재순환하는 방법으로 연소로 외부에 코안다 노즐을 이용하여 배기가스를 재순환 유입하는 방법을 사용하였다. 코안다 노즐을 이용하여 배기가스를 재순환하고 혼합가스는 연소로 접선 방향으로 투입하여 선회유동을 유발하는 특징을 가지는 배기가스 재순환 버너이다. 이러한 버너에서 연소로 내의 선회 유동 특성을 살펴보고 온도와 반응속도 분포를 살펴봄으로써 코안다 노즐을 이용한 재순환 버너의 연소 유동 특성을 규명하였다. 과잉공기계수와 코안다 노즐 간격을 변화하여 배기가스 재순환 유입량 특성을 살펴보았으며 과잉공기계수를 증가하면 재순환 유입량비가 증가하였고 코안다 노즐 간격을 증가하면 코안다 노즐 공기 출구에서 속도가 낮아져서 재순환 유입량이 감소한다는 특성을 알았다. 배기가스 출구에서 평균온도는 코안다 노즐 간격 변화에 거의 무관하며 과잉공기계수 증가에 따라 감소하는 것을 알았다. 이러한 특성으로 배기가스 출구에서 NOx 농도는 과잉공기계수 증가에 따라 현저히 감소하고 코안다 노즐 간격에는 상대적으로 영향이 적은 것으로 나타났다.
