  • Experiments had been conducted Qualitatively regarding flow measurement errors of orifice flowmeter due to temperature difference between the inside and outside the natural gas meter-run in case of no pipe insulations. The primary factors considered in this study are fluid velocity and surrounding temperature. In addition, a portion of thermal radiation due to the sun was involved as a factor. The results showed that the considerable errors were not detected even in conditions of low flow rates and large temperature difference between the inside and outside the meter-run.

  • In this study, the numerical investigation of the flow around the SUBOFF submarine model is performed by using the Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) method which is developed based on the SST k-ω turbulence model. At the DES analysis level, complex vortical flows around the submarine model are caused mainly by the vortices due to the appendages and their interactions with the flows from the hull boundary layer and other appendages. The complexity and scale of the vortical flow obtained from the numerical simulations are highly dependent on the grid. The computed local flow properties of the submarine model are compared with the available experimental data showing a good agreement. The DES analysis more reasonably estimates the physical phenomena inherent in the experimental result in a low radius of the propeller plane where vortical flows smaller than the RANS scale are dominant.

  • Direct water quenching technique can be used in hot stamping process to obtain higher cooling rate compared to that of the normal die cooling method. In the direct water quenching process, setting proper water flow rate in consideration of material thickness and the size of the area directly cooled in the component is important to ensure uniform microstructure and mechanical properties. In this study, to derive proper water flow rate conditions that can achieve uniform microstructure and mechanical properties, microstructure and hardness distribution in various water flow rate conditions are measured for 3.2 mm thick boron steel sheet. Hardness distribution is uniform under the flow condition of 1.5 L/min or higher. However, due to the lower cooling rate in that area, the lower flow conditions result in a drastic decrease in hardness in some areas in the hot-stamped part, resulting in low martensite fraction. From these results, it is found that the selection of proper water flow rate is an important factor in hot stamping with direct water quenching process to ensure uniform mechanical properties.

  • This study investigated the erosion-corrosion characteristics of 5038-H321 aluminum alloy in a natural seawater solution through various electrochemical experiments and flow rate parameters. Cathodic polarization experiments were conducted at flow rates ranging from 4 to 12 knots. Considering the concentration polarization section representing a relatively low current density, the range of the potentiostatic experiment was determined to be -1.6 to -1.0 V. The potentiostatic experiment was conducted at various potentials for 180 minutes in seawater. After the experiment, the corrosion characteristics were evaluated by observing surface morphology and measuring surface roughness. As a result, as the applied potential was lower, the amount of calcareous deposits increased and the roughness tended to increase. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the roughness was larger in the static condition than the flow rate condition due to the influence of the flow velocity. Variations in the chemical composition with flow rate variations were analyzed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). In conclusion, the cathodic potential of AA5083-H321 in seawater was determined to be -1.0 V.

  • The jet pump can be used in a test device of a nuclear reactor for high flow amplification as it reduces inlet flow requirement and thereby size of the process components. In the present work, a miniature jet pump was designed to meet high flow amplification greater than 3. Subsequently, experiments were carried out using a test setup for design validation and performance evaluation of the jet pump for different parameters. It was observed that a minimum pressure of 0.6 bar (g) was required for the secondary fluid inside the jet pump to ensure cavitation free performance at high amplification. Spacing between the nozzle tip and the mixing chamber entry point had significant effect on the performance of the jet pump. Variation in primary flow, temperature and area ratio also affected the performance. It was observed that at high flow amplification, the analytical solution differed significantly from experimental results due to very large velocities encountered in the miniature size jet pump.

  • The ignition behavior of single coal particles of five kindes of coal with different ranks (low volatile bituminous, low volatile sub-bituminous, high volatile bituminous, lignite) with particle size of $150-200{\mu}m$ was investigated at high heating rate condition. Particles were injected into a laminar flow reactor and the ignition behavior was observed with high speed cinematography. Sub-bituminous were observed to ignite homogeneously; however, low volatile bituminous coal and lignite undergo fragmentation prior to igntion. The observation was analyzed with previous work.

  • In the most of acoustic system with low flow rate and low pressure level, one-dimensional, linear modeling techniques are used very well. At low frequency, the tube is modeled as inertia element and cavity as capacitance element, and to extend the range of frequency normal mode oscillators are represented. Bond graph modelling techniques are proposed to predict TL (Transmission Loss) and time response which is impossible by transfer matrix in muffler system. A simple acoustic filter which consists of several tubes and cawities is analyzed in both time and frequency domain.

  • A microscopic theoretical study is performed to predict the rheological properties of human blood in the low concentration limit. The shear thinning behavior of blood in the low shear limit is studied by considering the aggregate formation of red blood cells, which is called the rouleaux formation. Then the constitutive equations of blood in the high shear limit are derived for various flow situations by considering the unique features of deformation of blood cells. Specifically, the effects of the surface-area-preserving constraint and the lank-treading motion of blood cells on the rheological properties are studied.
