A numerical study has been performed to investigate the thermal Performance of Solar heating system with baffle type of storage tank by using the commercial code TRNSYS. As a result, the solar fraction depends strongly on the efficiency and heat loss coefficient of solar collector as well as the heating capacity of house and the water temperature supplied to the shower. In addition, the solar fraction has been basically ranked to higher level in baffle type of storage tank than typical type of single storage tank for the range of operation condition.

The LNG tank are properly designed to fit with the limited installation space of a light duty truck, Hyundai Porter II. This designed LNG tank has 36 liter capacity, so two LNG tanks installed on Porter II truck allow it to run about 432 km per fueling. It is almost two times greater than CNG mileage for same truck. To analyze the relationship between car acceleration and heat leak for different fuel vapor/liquid ratios, the modified Fortran program "Pro-Heatleak" is used. Computational analysis shows that the relationship between the heat leak and vapor/liquid ratio is linearly inversed. Heat leak increases with increasing of car acceleration when fuel vapor/liquid ratio is less than 0.5 and decreases when fuel vapor/liquid ratio is greater than 0.5. The difference between maximum and minimum heat leak for full tank is about 12 percents. For the fuel vapor/liquid ratio equal to 0.5 heat leak does not depend on car acceleration.

The passive safety system is adopted in an AP1000 nuclear power unit to improve the operation safety of the whole unit. However, due to boron diffusion and periodic sampling, boron dilution occurs in the core makeup tank. The boron replenishment process in the core makeup tank is essential and becomes particularly important. Based on the validated models, this article numerically investigates the influence of the replenishment flow rate and the position on the boron distribution in the core makeup tank. The thermal fatigue phenomenon of the "T" connection caused by replenishment is analyzed. Finally, the replenishment strategy is proposed to benefit both boron mixing in the core makeup tank and eliminating the thermal fatigue of the "T" connection.

항공기가 급격한 기동을 하는 경우에는 연료의 쏠림에 의해 상당한 하중이 관련 구성품들에 작용하는데 심각한 상황에서는 구성품이나 배관의 파손이 발생하여 연료탱크 외부로 연료가 누설될 수 있다. 특히, 외부 연료탱크가 장착된 경우에는 슬로싱 운동에 의해 외부 연료탱크 체결부에 상당한 하중이 작용하게 되는데, 해당 하중을 반영하지 않은 설계로 인하여 체결부의 파손이 발생하게 되면 항공기 안전 뿐만 아니라 승무원의 생존에도 악영향을 미칠수가 있다. 따라서, 따라서, 항공기 및 승무원의 생존성 향상을 위해서는 연료 슬로싱 운동에 의한 하중을 고려하여 연료탱크와 내부 부품뿐만 아니라 체결부에 대한 설계가 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 회전익항공기용 외부 연료탱크의 슬로싱 시험에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 기법으로 유체-구조 연성해석의 하나인 ALE 방법을 사용하였고 미군사 규격에서 요구하는 시험조건을 수치해석에 적용하였다. 수치해석 결과로 외부 연료탱크 체결부 하중을 계산하여 체결부 설계시 고려해야 하는 하중 수준을 검토하였다. 또한, 슬로싱 운동에 의해 금속피팅부와 복합재 컨테이너에 작용하는 응력수준과 안전여유 분석을 통해 구조건전성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

In recent years, various studies have been conducted on oscillating-water-column-type wave energy converters (OWC-WECs) with multiple chambers with the objective of efficiently utilizing the limited space of offshore/onshore structures. In this study, a numerical investigation based on a numerical wave tank was conducted on single, dual, and triple OWC chambers to examine the hydrodynamic performances and the energy conversion characteristics of the multiple water columns. The boundary value problem with the Laplace equation was solved by using a numerical wave tank based on a finite element method. The validity of the current numerical method was confirmed by comparing it with the measured data in the previous experimental research. We undertook a series of numerical simulations and observed that the water column motion of sloshing mode in a single chamber can be changed into the piston motion of different phases in multiple OWC chambers. Therefore, the piston motion in the multiple chambers can generate considerable airflow at a specific resonant frequency. In addition, the division of the OWC chamber results in a reduction of the time-dependent variability of the final output power from the device. As a result, the application of the multiple chambers leads to an increase of the energy conversion performance as well as a decrease of the variability of the wave energy converter.

Generally, tsunamis are generated by the rapid crustal movements of the ocean floor. Other factors of tsunami generation include landslides on coastal and ocean floor slopes, glacier collapses, and meteorite collisions. In this study, two numerical analyses were conducted to examine the formation, propagation, and deformation properties of landslide tsunamis. First, LS-DYNA was adopted to simulate the formation and propagation processes of tsunamis generated by dropping rigid bodies. The generated tsunamis had smaller wave heights and wider waveforms during their propagation, and their waveforms and flow velocities resembled those of theoretical solitary waves after a certain distance. Second, after the formation of the landslide tsunami, a tsunami based on the solitary wave approximation theory was generated in a numerical wave tank (NWT) with a computational domain that considered the stability/steady phase. The comparison of two numerical analysis results over a certain distance indicated that the waveform and flow velocity were approximately equal, and the maximum wave pressures acting on the upright wall also exhibited similar distributions. Therefore, an effective numerical model such as LS-DYNA was necessary to analyze the formation and initial deformations of the landslide tsunami, while an NWT with the wave generation method based on the solitary wave approximation theory was sufficient above a certain distance.

This study is to systematically analyze the effect of various kinds of design factors on the performance of stratified thermal storage tank. Taguchi method, known as a very reasonable tool in the parametric study, is employed in the present work. Three dimensional unsteady numerical experiment is conducted for 4 design parameters of stratified thermal storage tank: inlet Reynolds number, Froude number, diffuser size d with 3 levels (Re=400, 800, 1200, Fr=0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and d=150 mm, 200mm, 300 mm) and diffuser shape with 2 levels. Orthogonal array $L_{18}(2{\times}3^7)$ is adopted for the analysis of variance. The result gives quantitative estimation of the various design parameters affecting the performance and helps to select the main factors for the optimum design of stratified thermal storage tank. Reynolds number is found to be the most dominant parameter and the diffuser shape plays significant role on the performance of stratified thermal storage tank. Based on this finding, the prior questions on the contribution of the diffuser shape proposed by the authors become clear. The optimum condition for the performance is a set of d=300mm, Re=800, and radial regulated plate diffuser. Conformation test shows the repeatability in the analysis and $1.3\%$ difference between the estimated thermocline thickness and that of numerical result.

Recently, study on hydrogen is being conducted due to environmental pollution and fossil fuel depletion. High-pressure gas hydrogen commonly used is applied to vehicle and tube trailers. In particular, high-pressure hydrogen storage tank for vehicles must comply with the guidelines stipulated in SAE J2601. There is a charging temperature limitation condition for the safety of the storage tank material. In this study, numerical analysis method were verified based on previous studies and the nozzle angle was changed for thermal management to analyze the increase in forced convection effect and energy uniformity due to the promotion of circulation flow. The previously applied high-pressure hydrogen storage tank has a length/diameter ratio of about 2.4 and was analyzed by comparing the length/diameter ratio with 8. As a result, the circulation flow of hydrogen flowing into the high-pressure hydrogen storage tank is promoted at a nozzle angle of 30° than the straight nozzle and accordingly, the effect of suppressing temperature rise by energy uniformity and forced convection was confirmed.
