To overcome disadvantages of conventional two interconnected fluidized beds system, a novel two-interconnected fluidized bed process has been adopted to 3kW chemical-looping combustor. This system has two bubbling beds, solid injection nozzles, solid conveying lines, and downcomers. In this study, effects of operating variables such as gas velocity through the solid injection nozzle, fluidizing velocity, solid height, geometry of solid intake hole, bed temperature on solid circulation rate have been investigated in a 3kW chemical-looping combustor. The solid circulation rate increased as the solid height and the opening area of solid intake holes increased. The effect of the fluidizing velocity and the bed temperature were negligible. Moreover, long-term operation of continuous solid circulation up to 50 hours has been performed to check feasibility of stable operation. The pressure drop profiles in the bubbling beds and the downcomers were maintained steadily and solid circulation was smooth and stable.

Effects of operating variables on temperature profile and performance of 3 MWth chemical looping combustion system were estimated by mass and energy balance analysis based on configuration and dimension of the system determined by design tool. Air reactor gas velocity, fuel reactor gas velocity, solid circulation rate, and solid input percentage to fluidized bed heat exchanger were considered as representative operating variables. Overall heat output and oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas from the air reactor increased but temperature difference decreased as air reactor gas velocity increased. Overall heat output, required solid circulation rate, and temperature difference increased as fuel reactor gas velocity increased. However, overall heat output and temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate increased. Temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate through the fluidized bed heat exchanger increased. Effect of each variables on temperature profile and performance can be determined and these results will be helpful to determine operating range of each variable.

A sea/land breeze circulation system and a regional scale circulation system are formed at a region which has complex terrain around coastal area and affect to the dispersion and advection of air pollutants. Therefore, it is important that atmospheric circulation model should be well designed for the simulation of regional dispersion of air pollutants. For this, Local Circulation Model, LCM which has an ability of high resolution is used. To verify the propriety of a LCM, we compared the simulation result of LCM with an exact solution of a linear theory over a simple topography. Since they presented almost the same value and pattern of a vertical velocity at the level of 1 km, we had a reliance of a LCM. For the prediction of dispersion and advection of air pollutants, the wind filed should be calculated with high accuracy. A numerical simulation using LCM will provide more accurate results over a complex terrain around coastal area.

A quasi depth-varying mathematical model for wind-generated circulation in coastal areas, expressed in terms of the depth-averaged horizontal velocity components and free surface elevation was validated and used to understand the diurnal circulation process. The wind velocity is considered as a dominant factor for driving the wind generated current. In this paper, three dimensional numerical experiments that included the land topography were used to investigate the mesoscale air flow over the coastal regions. The surface temperature of the inland was determined through the surface heat budget consideration with inclusion of a layer of vegetation. A series of numerical experiments were then carried out to investigate the diurnal response of the air flow and wind-generated circulation to various types of surface inhomogeneities.

This paper proposes autonomous speed control strategy for an Electric Vehicle on urban road. SNU campus road is used to reperesent urban road situation. Motor efficiency of driving on campus circulation road can be improved by controlling velocity properly. Given information of campus road, especially slope of road, acceleration is selected from candidate, considering consumed power, human factor and driving time. To apply urban situation, preceding vehicle is also considered. With preceding vehicle, acceleration is defined according to clearance and relative velocity. Acceleration is bounded in normal range. Proposed acceleration control method is activated with proper velocity range for campus circulation road. With acceleration control, motor efficiency becomes better than driving with constant vehicle. To evaluate the performance of proposed acceleration controller, simulation study is conducted via MATLAB.

Floating marina has been interests as an alternative to the facilities for recreational boats because of its cost effectivenes and less environmental conflicts. For tile present research, a square floating marina with a length of 400m and draft of 5m was used. This marina can be extended to 800m by putting anotjer one together. Tidal field around tile marina was simulated using a multi-level finite difference method. Tidal motion was assumed sinusoidal in a closed rectangular bay. Velocities and residual current were investigated for two cases of single marina and two marinas installed in tile bay. It was found that the horizontal velocity fields from the water surface to the structure bottom around tile marina were affected. In the marina basin, magnitude of velocity was reduced considerably but overall quality of water circulation was preserved even after two marina were installed.

Phase averaged velocity fields in the near wake region behind a square cylinder have been (successfully) obtained using randomly sampled PIV data sets. The Reynolds number based on the flow velocity and the vertex height was 3,900. To identify the phase information, we examined the magnitude of circulation and the center of peak vorticity. The center of vorticity was estimated from lowpass filtered vorticity contours (LES decomposition) adopting a sub-pixel searching algirithm. Due to the sinusoidal nature of firculation which is closely related to the instantaneous vorticity, the location of peak voticity fits well with a sine curve of the circulation magnitude. Conditionally-averaged velocity fields represent the barman vortex shedding phenomenon very well within 5 degrees phase uncertainty. The oscillating nature of the separated shear layer and the separation bubble at the top surface are clearly observed. With the hot-wire measurements of Strouhal frequency, we found thats the convection velocity changes its magnitude very rapidly from 25 to 75 percent of the free stream velocity along the streamwise direction when the flow passes by the recirculation region.

To study the effect of paddle wheel on water circulation, velocity components were measured in shrimp ponds both along the longitudinal direction from a single paddle wheel and at 25 grid points of two ponds, which have mean water depth of 1.2m and aspect ratio (length/width) 1.05 and 0.68, respectively. An analysis of factors related to water quality and circulation showed that I) a single paddle wheel has an effective distance of 33m for de-stratification, 16m for particulate suspension and 25m for removal of organic material, dispersion of DO and prevention of bed sediment disturbance and ii) with doubling the number of paddle wheels at the pond corners, the flow speed increased by 13% over the ponds, while it reduced by 8.5% around the pond centres. Contrary to expectation, increasing the number of paddle wheel did not generate strong circulation around the pond centre and improve water quality.

we motivate the of the velocity field of a fluid in three ways: from a calculation of the velocity of a rotating fluid relative to a coordinate system rotating with the fluid and from two calculations of a vector form of circulation in small circles or spheres suspended in a moving fluid.
