The pulverized coal combustion behavior in the coal fired utility boiler has been investigated with the CFD and process analysis techniques. The used commercial software were CFX and PROATES, and these were coupled each other to get more reliable boundary condition set-up, resulting in more reliable solution. For two cases which were the actual operation condition of A power plant, the calculated values from the coupled CFD and process analysis for thermal energy system were compared with the plant data, and the good agreements were obtained for Case 1 and 2. The calculated temperature distributions on the surface of heat exchangers were compared with the plant data for the steam temperatures across heat exchangers, and these explained the actual operating situation very well. The temperature deviation across the final superheater tube, which was believed to be the main cause of the frequent tube failure, were also explained very well with the calculated distributions of gas temperature and radiation on the plane of the final superheater.

Drilling Jig is the device according to industrial demand for multi manufacturing products on the growing at alarming rate. In the field of design and making for machine tool working, welding, assembling with jig and fixture for mass production is a specific division. In order to prevent the production defects the optimum design of product, fig and fixture putting in the field is very significant manufacturing method. They require analysis of many kinds of important factors, theory and practice of machine tool operating process and its phenomena, jig & fixture structure, machining condition for tool making tool materials, heat treatment of jig & fixture components, know-how and so on. In this study we designed and constructed a drilling jig of mass production and performed tryout under the Auto CAD, database, and window environment. Especially Part1 of this study is reveals with the analysis of part drawing, jig planning, jig design etc.

The approach for evaluating the critical heat flux (CHF) margin using the departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) concept has been widely applied to PWR core design, while DNBR in this approach does not indicate appropriately the CHF margin in terms of the attainable power margin-to-CHF against a reactor core condition. The CHF power margin must be calculated by increasing power until the minimum DNBR reaches a DNBR limit. The Critical Power Ratio (CPR), defined as the ratio of the predicted CHF power to the operating power, is considered more reasonable for indicating the CHF margin and can be calculated by a CPR orrelation based on the heat balance of a test bundle. This approach yields directly the CHF power margin, but the calculated CPR must be corrected to compensate for many local effects of the actual core, which are not considered in the CHF test and analysis. In this paper, correction of the calculated CPR is made so that it may become equal to the DNB overpower margin. Exemplary calculations showed that the correction tends to be increased as power distribution is more distorted, but are not unduly large.

Elastomeric O-rings have been the most common seals due to their excellent sealing capacity, and availability in costs and sizes. One of the critical applications of O-ring seals is solid rocket motor joint seal where the operating hot gas must be sealed during the combustion. This has long been a design issue to avoid the system failure. For laterally constrained, squeezed and pressurized condition, deformed shape of O-ring was measured by computed tomography method and CCD laser sensor, compared with numerical calculations. As clearance gap changes, sealing performance had been evaluated on peak contact stresses at top, bottom and side contact surfaces. As clearance gap increases, peak contact stresses and contact widths in top and side contact surfaces increase, and the asymmetry of stress distributions is promoted due to pressure increase. It is suggested that peak stress of bottom contact surface can be approximated by simple superposition of peak ones due to squeeze and pressure. Under pressurized condition, sealing performance is dependent on not peak stresses of bottom and side contact surfaces but that of top.

In the present study, a three-dimensional numerical simulation was performed in a paint drying system of vehicle assembly line. In the drying system hot air and cool air are blown in turn from the nozzles to dry the trim of vehicle. Inlet boundary condition using user subroutine code is adopted to consider the moving motion of the vehicle. The present paper aims to improve the performance of the drying system. The transient distribution of temperature and velocity at the surface of the vehicle were predicted numerically. From these results, optimal operating condition of the drying system are to be suggested.

The Kaplan turbine model has been tested and analyzed. The blade angle and the guide vane opening of the turbine model were designed to be varied according to the best combination of guide vane and runner blade opening. When the changes in head and output were comparatively large, the efficiency drop were small, so the efficiency characteristics and stability of the entire operating condition were maintained in good condition. These results showed that the developed model in this study will be suitable for small hydropower stations with large changes In head and load such as agricultural reservoir.

Distributions of the parameters in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been analyzed numerically under steady-state and isothermal conditions. The distributions of the crucial parameters (e.g., temperature and pressure) in a PEMFC have a major impact on its safe and efficient operation. This paper predicts the performance of the model electrode plates by calculating the pressure and temperature distributions of working fluid. The calculated results of pressure and temperature at exit condition shows good agreement to experiments and gives details of flow pattern inside of electrode plates.

This paper was undertaken to analyze the morphology of wear debris generated from lubricated moving machine surfaces by image processing. The lubricati, ng wear test was performed under different experimental conditions using the wear test device made in our laboratory and wear test specimen of the pin on disk type wear rubbed in paraffme series base oil, by varying applied load, sliding distance. The four parameters (50% volumetric diameter, aspect, roundness and reflectivity) to describe the morphology have been developed and outlined in the paper. A system using such techniques promises to obviate the need for subjective, human interpretation of particle morphology in machine condition monitoring, thus to overcome many of the difficulties with current methods and to facilitate wider use of wear particle analysis in machine condition monitoring.

In general, major components of nuclear power plant have been evaluated based on 2-dimensional design codes conservatively. However, more exact assessment is necessary for continued operation beyond the design life. In this paper, 3-dimensional stress and fatigue analyses reflecting full geometry and monitored operating condition of reactor pressure vessel have been carried out. The analyses results showed that conservatism of current 2-dimensional evaluation based on design transient. Therefore, it is anticipated that the schemes developed from this research such as 3-dimensional finite element modeling, stress analysis and fatigue analysis related techniques can be utilized as fundamental tools for exact lifetime evaluation and license renewal of major nuclear components.

For developing a 100 kW MCFC power generation system, Several design parameters for a fuel cell stack and system analysis results by Cycle Tempo, a processing computer soft ware, were described. Approximately 170 cells are required to generate 100 kW at a current density of 125 mA/$cm^2$ with 6000 $cm^2$ cells. An overall heat balance was calculated to predict exit temperature. The 100 kW power is expected only under pressurized operation condition at 3 atm. Recycle of cathode gas by more than 50% is recommended to run the stack at 125 mA/$cm^2$ and 3 atm. Manifolds should be designed based on gas flow rates for the suggested operating condition. The fuel cell power generation system was designed conceptually with several choices of utilization of anode exhaust gas. Also system efficiency was calculated at various type of system and operation conditions.
