Needle valves are instrumentation devices with quick-opening inherent flow characteristics, used in pipelines requiring rapid flow supply immediately upon opening the flow path. For needle valves applied in liquefied hydrogen plants operating in cryogenic environments, it is necessary from the initial design stage to have various inherent flow characteristics in addition to quick-opening, depending on the intended usage. In this study, the inherent flow characteristics of a 1/2'' liquid hydrogen needle valve were evaluated through computational fluid dynamics analysis. Disk shapes exhibiting various inherent flow characteristics were proposed by deriving the flow coefficient (Cv) according to changes in disk shapes. Among the disk shapes that directly affect the Cv, the disk length and slope angle were selected, and case studies were conducted with nine parameter combinations. From the results of the normalized Cv regarding to opening rates, disk lengths and slope angles exhibiting quick-opening, equal-percentage, and linear inherent flow characteristics were determined.

일반적으로 압축성과 비압축성에 따라 사용되는 밸브의 유량 관계식은 다르다. 본 논문에서는 유체에 따라 유량 실험에 수행했고, 고유유량계수를 측정했다. 압축성 및 비압축성 유체에 대한 실험 결과, 고유유량계수는 정확히 일치했다. 1/2" 솔레노이드 밸브에 대한 유량실험 결과 고유유량계수는 약 2 이다. 실험을 통해 확보 된 솔레노이드 밸브의 고유유량계수는 아메심으로 모델링하여 밸브의 유동특성을 예측했다.

액체로켓 엔진이 발사체의 추력원으로써 임무를 성공적으로 완수하기 위해서는 주어진 성능 요구조건을 충실히 만족시킬 수 있어야 한다. 가스발생기 사이클 엔진의 경우 엔진을 구성하는 각 구성품들의 성능 분산을 보정하는 지상 시험을 거치게 되며, 이때 보정용 제어밸브를 이용하여 추력이나 혼합비 등의 엔진 성능을 요구수준 이내로 보정하게 된다. 이러한 보정용 제어밸브의 고유유량특성(Inherent Flow Characteristics)을 제어 대상값과 선형적인 관계를 가지도록 선정함으로써 보정 과정을 간단하면서도 예측가능한 형태로 가져갈 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 엔진 모드해석 프로그램을 응용하여 추력 및 혼합비 보정용 제어밸브의 고유유량특성을 계산하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하고, 실제 엔진의 작동 모드를 계산하였다.

New 80-MW (electric) ultra-long-life sodium cooled fast reactor core having inherent safety characteristics is designed with heterogeneous fuel assemblies comprised of driver and blanket fuel rods. Several options using upper sodium plenum and SSFZ (Special Sodium Flowing Zone) for reducing sodium void reactivity are neutronically analyzed in this core concept in order to improve the inherent safety of the core. The SSFZ allowing the coolant flow from the peripheral fuel assemblies increases the neutron leakage under coolant expansion or voiding. The Monte Carlo calculations were used to design the cores and analyze their physics characteristics with heterogeneous models. The results of the design and analyses show that the final core design option has a small burnup reactivity swing of 618 pcm over ~54 EFPYs cycle length and a very small sodium void worth of ~35pcm at EOC (End of Cycle), which leads to the satisfaction of all the conditions for inherent safety with large margin based on the quasi-static reactivity balance analysis under ATWS (Anticipated Transient Without Scram).

The flows through a turbomachinery tend to be extremely complex due to its inherent unsteady and viscous phenomena. A good analysis of the flows associated with rotor/stator interactions in turbomachinery will be great help in design stage. In this investigation, unsteady viscous flow structurts through one and half stage of UTRC large scale rotating axial turbine are analysed. The numerical data was compared with experimental data and showed good agreement.

The Generation IV Lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) take the liquid lead or lead-bismuth eutectic alloy (LBE) as the coolant of the primary cooling circuit. Combined with the natural characteristics of lead alloy and the design features of LFR, the system is the simplest and the number of equipment is the least, which reflects the inherent safety characteristics of LFR. The nuclear main coolant pump (MCP) is the only power component and the only rotating component in the primary circuit of the reactor, so the various operating characteristics of the MCP are directly related to the safety of the nuclear reactor. In this paper, various working conditions that may occur in the normal rotation (positive rotating) of the MCP and the corresponding internal flow characteristics are analyzed and studied, including the normal pump condition, the positive-flow braking condition and the negative-flow braking condition. Since the corrosiveness of LBE is proportional to the fluid velocity, the distribution of flow velocity in the pump channel will be the focus of this study. It is found that under the normal pump condition and positive-flow braking conditions, the high velocity region of the impeller domain appears at the inlet and outlet of the blade. At the same radius, the pressure surface is lower than the back surface, and with the increase of flow rate, the flow separation phenomenon is obvious, and the turbulent kinetic energy distribution in impeller and diffuser domain shows obvious near-wall property. Under the negative-flow braking condition, there is obvious flow separation in the impeller channel.

It is well known that the acoustic characteristics of the sea are significantly affected by bubbles which have their own inherent characteristics at the undersea. In this study, the shape and acoustic characteristics of air bubbles generated by an underwater nozzle are calculated numerically, and are measured with a high speed camera and a hydrophone at various air flow rates in the experimental apparatus. As a result of analysis, the shape calculated numerically well matched with measured values at low flow rates, but in case of relatively higher flow rates. the use of correction coefficient is needed for more accurate estimation of the bubble shape. And also the rising velocity of a single bubble is constant regardless of both the bubble size and the flow rate. and the acoustic signal generated when the bubble is produced by an underwater nozzle has the same characteristic of natural frequency of the bubble pulsation, and is agreed with Minnaert's equation if the correction coefficient is considered in accordance with the flow rate.

The effect of flow conditions on flow measurement is difficult to identify from the inherent characteristics of the flowmeters and flow standard system. A new experimental approach has been attempted to detect the turbine meter error due to inlet flow conditions. In this try not only the design of the turbine meter package but also the data analysis method was altered. It was found that k factor slope of the turbine meter responds to the change of flow conditions in the test line with higher sensitivity than the degree of the data scattering. The flow standard system of $0.1m^3/s$ was chosen for the investigation. The systematic and random error of the system were less than ${\pm}0.08%$ and ${\pm}0.13%$ respectively.

A heat exchanging system employing the impinging air jet is still widely used In the various fields due to its inherent merits that include the easiness in engineering applications and the high heat and/or mass transfer characteristics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the enhancement of heat transfer and flow characteristics by placing a turbulence promoters in front of heat exchanging surface. In this study, a series of circular rods are placed at the upstream of a flat plate heat exchanger that is located at potential core region(H/W=2) of a two-dimensional impinging air jet. Heat transfer enhancement is achieved by inserting turbulence promoter that results in the flow acceleration and disturbance of boundary layer. The average Nusselt number of the flat plate with the turbulence promoters is found to be around 1.42 times higher than that of the flat plate without the turbulence promoters. Based on the results of flow visualization with a smoke wire, it is confirmed that the heat transfer enhancement is caused by the flow separation and disturbance of boundary layer by inserting the turbulence promoter.
