The performance of the crossover system of a centrifugal compressor stage consisting of static components of $180^{\circ}$ U-bend, return channel vanes and exit ducting with a $90^{\circ}$ bend is investigated. This study is confined to the assessment of performance of the crossover system by varying the shape of the return channel vanes. For this purpose two different types of Return Channel Vanes (RCV1 and RCV2) were experimentally investigated. The performance of the crossover system is discussed in terms of total pressure loss coefficient, static pressure recovery coefficient and vane surface pressure distribution. The experimentation was carried out on a test setup in which static swirl vanes were used to simulate the flow at the exit of an actual centrifugal compressor impeller with a design flow coefficient of 0.053. The swirl vanes are connected to a mechanism with which the flow angle at the inlet of U-bend could be altered. The measurements were taken at five different operating conditions varying from 70% to 120% of design flow rate. On an overall assessment RCV1 is found to give better performance in comparison to RCV2 for different U-bend inlet flow angles. The performance of RCV2 was verified using numerical studies with the help of a CFD Code. Three dimensional sector models were used for simulating the flow through the crossover system. The turbulence was predicted with standard k-$\varepsilon$, 2-equation model. The iso-Mach contour plots on different planes and development of secondary flows were visualized through this study.

As a severe accident mitigation strategy in a nuclear power plant, ERVC(External Reactor Vessel Cooling) has been proposed. Under ERVC conditions, where a molten corium is relocated in a reactor vessel lower head, a natural circulation two-phase flow is driven in the annular gap between the reactor vessel wall and its insulation. This flow should be sufficient to remove the decay heat of the molten corium and maintain the integrity of the reactor vessel. Preliminary experimental study was performed to estimate the natural circulation two-phase flow. The experimental facility which is one dimensional, the half height, and the 1/238 channel area of APR1400, was prepared and the experiments were carried out to estimate the natural circulation two-phase flow with varying the parameters of the coolant inlet area, the heat rate, and the coolant inlet subcooling. In results, the periodic circulation flow was observed and the characteristics were varied from the experimental parameters. The frequency of the natural circulation flow rate increased as the wall heat flux increased.

본 연구에서는 2차원 흐름/유사이동 모형에 식생생장모형을 추가하여 하도의 식생 활착 및 성장에 의한 지형변화 과정과 특성을 수치모의 하였다. 교호사주가 발달하는 조건에서 식생 이입 및 활착은 사주의 이동을 감소시켰다. 식생면적 및 하폭의 변화는 저유량 지속시간보다 상류유량 변화에 더 크게 영향을 받았다. 상류유량이 감소하면 식생면적은 증가하고 하도폭은 감소하였다. 망상하도가 발달하는 조건에서 하도내 식생 이입 및 활착은 지형변화 특성에 크게 영향을 미쳤다. 망도하도에서 식생은 망상의 수를 감소시키고 결국 상류유량이 크게 감소하면 하도지형을 망상하도에서 단일수로로 변화시켰다. 식생면적은 상류유량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 하도폭은 식생 도입 후 급격히 줄어들었고 상류유량 감소와 함께 감소하였다. 수치모의를 이용하여 홍수량 감소가 하도 내의 식생 이입 및 활착을 가속시키고 이로 인해 하도변화 특성에 미치는 영향을 정성적으로 확인할 수 있음을 보였다.

낙동강에 위치한 하회마을의 점사주는 상류의 댐에 의해 수량이 조절됨에 따라 토사수리학적 특성이 상당히 변화되었으며, 식생이 발생하는 등 옛 모습을 상실해 가고 있다. 이 연구는 낙동강의 중상류에 위치한 하회지구에 평면 이차원 하상변동 및 수질예측 수치모형인 KU-RLMS 모형을 적용하여 하회마을 앞의 점사주에 영향을 미치는 수리학적 특성 변화를 규명할 목적으로 수행하였다. 평면 이차원 수치모형을 이용한 흐름모의 조건은 고정상 수리모형실험의 실험조건에 대하여 수행하였다. 수치모의 결과 하회마을을 지나면서 부용대 앞의 좌안측에서 흐름이 가속되는 현상이 나타났고, 하회마을 직하류의 우안측에서는 순환이 발생하는 것으로 예측되었다. 이는 수리모형실험 결과와도 일치하는 경향이다. 계획홍수량 흐름조건의 경우 순환현상이 발생하는 하회마을 직하류의 우안측은 유속이 빠른 좌안측보다 약 1.0 m 이상 수위가 상승하는 것으로 예측되었으며, 수리모형실험 결과와도 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents numerical analysis and design optimization of various turbine blade cooling techniques with three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) analysis. The fluid flow and heat transfer have been performed using ANSYS-CFX 11.0. A fan-shaped hole for film-cooling has been carried out to improve film-cooling effectiveness with the radial basis neural network method. The injection angle of hole, lateral expansion angle of hole and ratio of length-to-diameter of the hole are chosen as design variables and spatially averaged film-cooling effectiveness is considered as an objective function which is to be maximized. The impingement jet cooling has been performed to investigate heat transfer characteristic with geometry variables. Distance between jet nozzle exit and impingement plate, inclination of nozzle and aspect ratio of nozzle hole are considered as geometry variables. The area averaged Nusselt number is evaluated each geometry variables. A rotating rectangular channel with staggered array pin-fins has been investigated to increase heat transfer performance ad to decrease friction loss using KRG modeling. Two non-dimensional variables, the ratio of the eight diameter of the pin-fins and ratio of the spacing between the pin-fins to diameter of the pin-fins selected as design variables. A rotating rectangular channel with staggered dimples on opposite walls are formulated numerically to enhance heat transfer performance. The ratio of the dimple depth and dimple diameter are selected as geometry variables.

예조건화된 오일러 방정식의 수렴특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 지배방정식의 거동을 이해하기 위하여 섭동 해석을 수행하였다. 중앙부에 10％ 원호를 가진 2차원 관을 통과하는 다양한 마하수의 비점성 유동장에 대해 수치 계산을 수행하였다. 공간차분은 Roe의 FDS를 사용하고 시간적분은 LU-SGS 기법을 사용하였다. 압력 및 속도의 수렴특성은 마하수와 상관없이 일정하게 유지되었으나, 온도의 수렴성은 마하수가 작아질수록 악화되는 것으로 나타났다. 섭동 해석을 통해 이러한 지배방정식의 수렴특성을 설명할 수 있었으며, 수렴특성이 예조건화 행렬의 거동 특성에 의해 결정된다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

The successful synthesis of hyaluronic acid micro-threads is very promising approach for the broad application in tissue engineering such as dermal fillers. Because hyaluronic acid has the excellent biocompatibility and ability to maintain the moisture of up to several hundred times its own weight. In order to generate the hyaluronic acid micro-threads in microfluidic system, we employed two-phase flow microfluidic chip to make a rapid synthesis of the hyaluronic acid hydrogel. Hyaluronic acid was mixed with 0.02N NaOH solution and 1, 4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) solution and then injected into core channel. The ethanol was used for the 3-dimensional micro-thread formation in sheath channel. We manipulated the diameter of HA micro-threads using controlling of flow rates in microfluidic chip, and showed the feasibility of immobilization in HA micro-threads with florescent substances. Also, the generated HA micro-threads were evaluated and showed the suitable properties with tensile strength, bending property, and swelling profiles for dermal fillers. As a result, we suggested an innovative method for microfluidic chip-based HA micro-threads which could safely be applied as dermal filler in tissue engineering.

Photocurrent enhancement has been investigated in monolayer (1L) $MoS_2$ with PbS quantum dots (QDs). A metal-semiconductor-metal (Au-1L $MoS_2$-Au) junction device is fabricated using a standard photolithography method. Considerably improved photo-electrical properties are obtained by coating PbS QDs on the Au-1L $MoS_2$-Au device. Time dependent photoconductivity and current-voltage characteristics are investigated. For the QDs-coated $MoS_2$ device, it is observed that the photocurrent is considerably enhanced and the decay life time becomes longer. We propose that carriers in QDs are excited and transferred to the $MoS_2$ channel under light illumination, improving the photocurrent of the 1L $MoS_2$ channel. Our experimental findings suggest that two-dimensional layered semiconductor materials combined with QDs could be used as building blocks for highly-sensitive optoelectronic detectors including radiation sensors.

The existing modeling of avalanche dominated breakdown in double gate MOSFETs (DGMOSFETs) is not relevant for 10 nm gate lengths, because the avalanche mechanism does not occur when the channel length approaches the carrier scattering length. This paper focuses on the punch through mechanism to analyze the breakdown characteristics in 10 nm DGMOSFETs. The analysis is based on an analytical model for the thermionic-emission and tunneling currents, which is based on two-dimensional distributions of the electric potential, obtained from the Poisson equation, and the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation for the tunneling probability. The analysis shows that corresponding flat-band-voltage for fixed threshold voltage has a significant impact on the breakdown voltage. To investigate ambiguousness of number of dopants in channel, we compared breakdown voltages of high doping and undoped DGMOSFET and show undoped DGMOSFET is more realistic due to simple flat-band-voltage shift. Given that the flat-band-voltage is a process dependent parameter, the new model can be used to quantify the impact of process-parameter fluctuations on the breakdown voltage.
