The pressure drop characteristics in a rotating two-pass duct with rib turbulators are investigated in the present study. The square duct has a hydraulic diameter $(D_h)$ of 26.7 mm, and $1.5mm{\times}1.5mm$ square $90^{\circ}-rib$ turbulators are attached on the leading and trailing walls. The pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) is 10. The distance between the tip of the divider and the outer wall of the duct is $1.0D_h$ and the width of divider wall is 6.0mm or $0.225D_h$. The Reynolds number (Re) based on the hydraulic diameter is kept constant at 10,000 to exclude the Reynolds effect, and the rotation number (Ro) is varied from 0.0 to 0.20. The pressure drop distribution, the friction factor and thermal performance are presented for the leading, trailing and the outer surfaces. It is found that the curvature of the $180^{\circ}$-turn produces Dean vortices that cause high pressure drop in the turn. The channel rotation results in pressure drop discrepancy between leading and trailing surfaces so that non-dimensional pressure drops are higher on the trailing surface in the first-pass and on the leading and side surfaces in the second-pass. In the turning region, Dean vortices shown in the stationary case transform into one large asymmetric vortex cell, and subsequent pressure drop characteristics also change. As the rotation number increases, the pressure drop discrepancy enlarges.

A drop impact on the liquid film/pool generates several phenomena such as the drop floating, bouncing, formation of vortex ring, jetting, bubble entrapment and splashing. These phenomena depend on the impact velocity, the drop size, the drop properties and the liquid film/pool thickness. These parameters can be summarized by four main dimensionless parameters; Weber number, Ohnesorge number, Froude number and non-dimensional film/pool thickness. In the present study, the phenomena of the splashing and bubble entrapment due to the drop impact on the liquid film/pool were numerically investigated by using a Level Set method for the sharp interface tracking of two distinct phases. After the drop impact, the splashing phenomena with the crown formation and spreading were predicted. Under the specific conditions, the bubble entrapment at the base of the collapsing cavity due to the drop impact was also observed. The numerical results were compared to the available experimental data showing good agreements.

본 연구에서는 엇갈린형 관군에 대해 ANSYS FLUENT v.14의 SST 난류모델을 적용하여 가로피치, 튜브표면, 와류발생기위치 등의 변화에 따른 열전달 및 압력강하 특성을 이론적으로 해석하였다. CFD 해석시 튜브표면의 온도는 363 K, 입구측 공기온도는 313 K이고 입구측 속도는 5 m/s에서 10 m/s까지 가정하였다. 그 해석결과로서 열전달계수는 가로피치에 대한 영향은 큰 차이가 없었고, 튜브표면의 돌기형상은 열전달 및 압력강하 특성에서 원형이 톱니형보다 적절하게 나타내었으며, 와류발생기의 설치 경우에는 열전달특성이 튜브의 전방부 위치가 후방부 위치보다 약 4.6% 정도로 우수함을 보였다.

여과집진장치의 중요 문제점 중의 하나인 높은 압력손실을 해결하기 위해 하부유입식 원심 여과집진장치의 특성을 실험적으로 분석하는 것이 본 연구의 주목적으로, 실험은 원심 여과집진장치의 집진효율과 압력손실(특히, 여과포 압력손실) 특성을 일반 여과집진기와 비교 분석하기위해 유입유속, 유입농도 및 선회영역의 변화 등과 같은 다양한 파라메터들에 대해 수행하였다. 실험 결과, $1{\mu}m$ 이하의 서브마이크론 입자들에 대해서 접선유입식이 중앙유입식의 경우 보다 높은 집진효율을 보였으며, 총괄집진효율은 99% 이상을 나타내었다. 유입농도 $100mg/m^3$에서, 압력손실 감소율은 유입유속에 따라 large bag의 경우 15~38%인 반면, small bag의 경우 선회영역의 증가에 의해 30~48%이었다.

In this study, a prediction theory for specific noise that is the overall characteristic of the fan has been proposed. This theory is based on total pressure prediction and broadband noise prediction. The specific noises of two forward curved fans with different number of blades were predicted. The flow around the impeller having 120 blades (MF120) was more biased at a certain positions than the impeller with 40 blades (MF40). An effective domain of the energy conversion of MF40 has extended overall than MF120. The total pressure was affected by the slip factor and pressure loss caused by the vortex flow. The suppression of a major pressure drop by the vortex flow and expansion of the effective domain for energy conversion contributed to an increase in the total pressure of MF40 at the design point. The position of maximum relative velocity was different for each fan. The relative velocity of MF120 was less than that of MF40 due to the deviation angle. The specific noise of MF120 was 2.7 dB less than that of MF40 due to the difference in internal flow. It has been quantitatively estimated that the deceleration in the relative velocity contributed to the improvement in the overall performance.

In this study the optimization of plate-fin type heat sink with vortex generator for thermal stability is conducted numerically. To acquire the optimal design variables, the CFD and mathematical optimization are integrated. The flow and thermal fields are predicted using the finite volume method. The optimization is carried out by means of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method. The results show that when the temperature rise is less than 40 K, the optimal design variables are as follows; $B_1=2.584mm$, $B_2=1.741mm$, and t = 7.914 mm. Comparing with the initial design, the temperature rise is reduced by 4.2 K, while the pressure drop is increased by 9.43 Pa. The Pareto optimal solutions are also presented between the pressure drop and the temperature rise.

Three-dimensional structures of a vortical flow field and heat transfer characteristics in a partially blocked 7-pin fuel assembly mock-up of sodium-cooled fast reactor have been investigated through a numerical analysis using a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, ANSYS CFX. The simulation with the SST turbulence model agrees well with the experimental data of outlet and cladding wall temperatures. From the analysis on the limiting streamline at the wall, multi-scale vortexes developed in axial direction were found around the blockage. The vortex core has a high cladding wall temperature, and the attachment line has a low cladding wall temperature. The small-scale vortex structures significantly enhance the convective heat transfer because it increases the turbulent mixing and the turbulence kinetic energy. The large-scale vortex structures supply thermal energy near the heated cladding wall surface. It is expected that control of the vortex structures in the fuel assembly plays a significant role in the convective heat transfer enhancement. Furthermore, the blockage plate and grid spacer increase the pressure drop to about 36% compared to the bare case.

The vortex tube is a simple device which separates fluid stream into a cold stream and a hot stream without any chemical reaction. The process of energy separation in the vortex tube has caused a great deal of interest. Although many studies on energy separation in the vortex tube using air as the working fluid have been made so far, few experimental studies treated energy separation for incompressible fluid. So, an experimental study for the energy separation in the vortex tube using the water which is essentially an incompressible fluid is presented. When working fluid is the water, the best geometric values of nozzle area ratio and number of nozzle holes are 0.155, 6 respectively. These geometric values are showed by the similar values which are presented by compressible fluid as working fluid. But hot side mass fraction of which maximum temperature drop is happened are different from compressible fluid.

A model testing has been performed to investigate the flow characteristics of a vortex chamber, which plays a role of a flow switch and passively controls the discharge flow rate. This method of passive flow control is a matter of concern in the design of advanced nuclear reactor systems as an alternative to the active flow control to provide emergency water to the reactor core in case of postulated accidents like LOCA (Loss-Of-Coolant Accident). By changing the inflow direction in the vortex chamber and varying the flow resistance inside the chamber, the vortex chamber can control passively the injection flowrate. Fundamental characteristics such as discharge flow rate and pressure drop of the vortex chamber are measured, and its parametric effects on the performance of the vortex chamber are also systematically investigated.

핀-튜브 열교환기는 산업용 보일러, 라디에이터, 냉동기 등에 많이 사용되고 있어 열교환기의 성능향상을 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Plain형 핀-튜브 열교환기에 대해 가로피치, 와류발생기위치, 튜브표면의 돌기형상 및 돌기개수 등의 변화에 따른 열전달 및 압력강하 특성을 이론적으로 해석하였다. CFD 해석시 경계조건으로는 SST 난류모델을 적용하였으며, 튜브표면의 온도는 333 K이고, 입구측 공기의 온도와 속도는 423~438 K, 1.5~2.1 m/s로 가정하였다. 해석결과로는 열전달계수는 가로피치에 대한 영향은 큰 차이가 없으며, 열전달특성은 와류발생기 설치가 튜브 전방부에 위치할수록 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 튜브표면의 돌기형상은 열전달 및 압력강하 특성에서 원형이 톱니형과 삼각형보다 적절하였으며, 16개 원형 돌기형상이 가장 양호하였다.
