A numerical simulation on the flow field was carried out on the cylindrical shell with baffles. The steady incompressible 3-D Navier-Stokes solution is obtained with the actual operational condition and geometry of the heat exchanger. The effect of the location of inlet and outlet on the cylindrical shell with baffle is investigated by varying flow rate. The angle between the location of In/Outlet and baffle cutting part is $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $120^{\circ}$, $150^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$. The present results show that the pressure drop is dependent on Reynolds number in the inlet area and position of inlet and outlet; i.e., the pressure drop increases with increasing Reynolds number and the pressure drop decreases with increasing angle between baffle cutting part and position of inlet and outlet.

The butterfly valve is widely used in the industrial field as an on-off or a flow control valve. When the butterfly valve is used as a flow control valve. cavitation sometimes occurs in the range of high flow rate because of the small valve opening. Therefore. the pressure loss and the cavitation characteristics are investigated by use of a commercial CFD code. The results show that the possibility of cavitation occurrence in the cryogenic butterfly valve is very high in the case of valve opening angle below 10 degree and incident velocity over 6m/s. By increasing the inlet velocity at 10 degree of valve opening angle. the value of loss coefficient increased. However. by increasing the inlet velocity at 50 degree of valve opening angle. the value of loss coefficient decreased.

펌프 성능 관점에서 바라보면 회전날개의 충격손실을 최소화하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 회전날개의 충격손실에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 흡입 케이싱 내에 설치되는 안내깃의 형상 및 설치 각 변화가 축류 펌프의 성능에 미치는 효과를 수치 해석 방법을 통해 살펴보았다. 그리고 주어진 운전조건에서 흡입 케이싱 내에 설치되는 안내깃의 최적형상 및 설치 각을 최적화 기법을 사용하여 최적화하였다.

Numerical calculation has been performed to investigate the fluid flow, heat transfer and local mass fraction of chemical species in the MOCVD (metalorganic chemical vapor deposition) manufacturing process. The mixing of reactants (trimethylgallium with hydrogen gas and ammonia) was presented by the concentration of each reactants to predict the uniformity of film growth. Effects of inlet size, location, mass flow rate and susceptor/cold wall tilt angle on the concentration were reported. The newly developed reactor, that precursors were supplied at separated inlet to prevent from premixing, was investigated to obtain the quantitative verification. As a results, the optimum mass flow rate, wall tilt angle and inlet conditions were proposed.

This paper presents the performance enhancement of a double-inlet centrifugal blower by the shape optimization of an inlet duct. Two design variables, a length of anti circulation vane and an angles of inlet guide, are introduced to improve the inlet flow uniformity leading to the blower performance. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are used to analyze the blower performance and the internal flow of the blower. From the shape optimization of the inlet duct of the double-inlet centrifugal blower, the optimal positions of each design variable are determined. Throughout the analysis of sensitivity, it is found that the angle of the inlet guide is more effective than the length of the anti-circulation vane to increase flow uniformity at the outlet of the duct. Efficiency and pressure for the optimal inlet duct shape are successfully increased up to 3.55% and 3.2% compared to those of reference blower at the design flow condition, respectively. Detailed flow field inside the blower is also analyzed and compared.

Inlet part of a printed circuit heat exchanger has been optimized by using three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes analysis and surrogate modeling techniques. Kriging model has been used as the surrogate model. The objective function for the optimization has been defined as a linear combination of uniformity of mass flow rate and the pressure loss with a weighting factor. For the optimization, the angle of the inlet plenum wall, radius of curvature of the inlet plenum wall, and width of the inlet pipes have been selected as design variables. Twenty six design points are obtained by Latin Hypercube Sampling in design space. Through the optimization, considerable improvement in the objective function has been obtained in comparison with the reference design of PCHE.

A PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) was applied to measure in-cylinder velocity field according to inlet valve angle during intake stroke. Two engines, one is conventional DOHC 4 valve and the other is narrow valve angle, were used to compare real intake flow. The results show that the intake flow pattern of conventional engine is more complicated than that of narrow angle one in horizontal plane and the vertical component of in-cylinder flow is rapidly decayed at the end stage of intake. On the other hand, the flow pattern of narrow angle one is relatively well arranged in horizontal plane and the vertical velocity component remains so strongly that forms large-scale strong tumble. Two engines also form commonly three tumble; two are small and bellow the intake valve and one is large-scale. The center of large scale tumble moves to bottom of cylinder as the vertical velocity increases.

This paper presents the design procedure of a vertical wind turbine named jet-wheel-turbo turbine and the numerical and experimental verifications. The design parameters such as the rotor inlet angle, the diameter-to-hub ratio, the inlet guide outlet angle and the solidity were optimized to maximize the energy transfer, and to further increase the turbine efficiency by applying the side guide vane and the side opening to the rotor. The maximum power coefficient of 0.59, which is much higher than the ever-designed three-bladed horizontal turbines, was experimentally obtained when the optimal inlet- and side-guide vanes were installed and both sides of the rotor were 80% opened. The maximum power coefficients occur at the tip speed ratio ranging between 0.6 and 0.7. This vertical-axis turbine model can be applied to the large-scale power generation system with the speed and torque control algorithm for the specified wind characteristics.

The flow characteristics of secondary recirculation region in a liquid fuel ramjet combustor are measured using PIV method. The model combustor has two rectangular inlets that form 90 degree angle each other. The tested angles of the air intakes were 30, 45 and 60. Three guide vanes are installed in each rectangular inlet to improve the flow stability. The experiments are performed in the water tunnel test with the same Reynolds number as the case of Mach 0.3 at the inlet. PIV software is developed to measure the characteristics of the flow field in the combustor. The accuracy of the developed PIV program is verified with rotating disk experiment and standard data. The experimental results show that the secondary recirculation flow occurred at the front junction of inlet main stream and combustorchamber. The size of secondary recirculation regions are increased with increasing air inlet angles. Since the performanceof combustor is very dependant on not only the main recirculation in the dome region but also the secondary recirculation flow in a junction region, the optimal angle of the air intakes should consider the both recirculation size as a frame holder.

자동차용 터보차저 압축기의 성능 개선을 위해 원주방향의 볼류트 입구 높이들이 수정되었고 디퓨저를 포함한 볼류트에 대한 유동장이 상용 소프트웨어를 사용하여 조사되었다. 기본적으로 잘 설계된 볼류트는 높은 압력회복계수와 낮은 전압력손실계수를 보여주어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 단면형상과 설단면각(Tongue Angle)을 가지나 원주방향으로는 서로 다른 볼류트 입구 높이를 갖는 두 경우의 원형단면 볼류트가 선정되었다. 하나는 $90^{\circ}$ 원주방향에서는 단면 중앙으로 유입되나 이후의 원주방향에서는 볼류트 단면 최하단부들을 잇는 접선과 동일한 높이를 유지하면서 점진적으로 하단부로 유입되는 볼류트 형상이다(케이스 1 볼류트). 다른 하나는 설단면에서는 접선방향으로 유입되도록 모든 원주방향에 대하여 입구 높이를 2 mm 낮춘 형상이다(케이스 2 볼류트). 해석결과, 케이스 2 볼류트가 케이스 1 볼류트보다 높은 압력회복계수로 인한 높은 전압력비와 낮은 전압력손실계수로 인한 높은 등엔트로피 효율을 보여주었다.
