Usually shell and tube heat exchangers are employed to recover energy between fluids. Recently, numerous papers on these heat exchangers have been published; however, the velocity and temperature profiles or comparison of the features of the flow with or without inside tubes have rarely been described. In this research, experimental and numerical studies were carried out to investigate the characteristics of the flow around the spiral baffle plates without inside tubes in a horizontal circular tube using a particle image velocimetry method and ANSYS 14.0~15.0 version (Fluent). The results showed that swirling flow was produced between the spiral baffle plates. The tangential components were strong between the two spiral baffles; however, the axial or radial velocities components were indicating nearly zero. From the spiral motion in the space of the two baffles, it is considered that there were no dead zones between the spiral baffle.

Sedimentation is one of the most common and important units in conventional water treatment plant. Structure such as various baffle walls and inclined plate settler may be obstacles to the horizontal flow when it is poorly designed. Therefore, the effects of these structures on characteristics of hydraulic flow must be evaluated to improve the settling efficiency of the floc. The hydraulic characteristic of the two sedimentations at Y water treatment plant (YWTP), which have different deflector baffles inside the settling basin, were investigated by tracer (fluoride) test. The inclined plate settler installed inside settling basin caused an undesirable impact on horizontal flow and produced dead zone. Solid baffle wall under the plate settler could help to minimize the formation of density currents and flow short circuiting. NaF used as a tracer was recovered more than 90% at investigated all basins. Morill index ($t_{90}/t_{10}$), Modal index ($t_p/T-HRT$) and short-circuiting index ($[M-HRT-t_p]/M-HRT$) were determined from tracer test results performed at YWTP. Those indices ranged 2.95~3.02, 0.40~0.53 and 0.32~0.46, respectively.

A variety of inner baffles are often installed to reduce liquid sloshing and prevent tank damage. In particular, a porous baffle has a distinct advantage in reducing sloshing by changing the natural periods and dissipating the wave energy in a tank. In model tests, porous baffles with five different porosities were installed vertically in a liquid tank under sway motion. The free surface elevations and pressures were measured using an image processing technique and a pressure gage for various combinations of baffle's porosity and submergence depth, and tank's amplitude and period. The experimental results were in good agreement with the analytic solutions (Cho, 2015), with the exception of a quantitative difference at resonant periods. The experimental results showed that the sloshing characteristics in a tank were closely dependent on both the porosity and submergence depth of the baffle, and the optimal porosity existed near P = 0.1275.

The performance of gas-fired boilers were experimentally investigated. The heat exchanger used for the experiments consisted of circular tube with longitudinal fins for the gas side and a spiral coil for the water side. The burner was located at the top of the heat exchanger, and the burned gas flowed down to the exit. The experiments carried out for different water flow rates, the heat capacities of the boiler and the number of baffle. The thermal efficiency of the upward flow was higher than that of the downward flow of the water in the heat exchanger. As the boiler capacity increased, the thermal efficiency decreased. As the number of the baffles increase, the thermal efficiency increased and the increasing rate of the efficiency decreased. The gas-side overall heat transfer coefficient was independent of the flow rate of the water. The effect of the number of the baffles on the heat transfer coefficient was greater than that of the boiler capacity.

고온 고압의 액체 로켓 엔진 연소실 설계에서 연소 불안정 현상은 항상 큰 문제로 인식되어 왔다. 이 문제의 근본적인 원인은 연소로 인한 급격한 열 방출에 기인하며 연소 과정에서 생기는 아주 작은 소음이 연소실 내의 음향모드와 상이 일치하면서 연소실 내의 압력이 급격히 높아져 엔진의 파손까지도 가져오게 한다. 본 연구는 이러한 연소 불안정 현상을 제거하기 위해 사용되는 안정화 장치로서 배플이 어떻게 로켓 연소실의 안정화에 도움을 주는가에 대한 이론적인 배경을 제공하는데 그 주안점을 두어 베플이 부착된 연소실에 대하여 음향해석을 행하여 배플을 사용함으로 인한 여러 가지 특이한 효과들이 연소 불안정 현상을 제거하는 중요한 메카니즘으로 작용함을 밝혀 내었다. 이중 대표적인 것으로는 첫째, 배플 격실내에서 횡모드 음향파가 종모드화되는 경향이며, 둘째, 연료 분사면 주위에서 불안정 유동이 극히 억제되는 현상과, 셋째로 연소실 내의 정상모드 진동수가 감소되는 현상등이다.

In this study, flow analysis and dehumidification experiment were conducted on hollow fiber membrane module to determine the dehumidification characteristics of its various configurations. A quantitative analysis of the CFD for four different models with a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and 30%RH inlet humidity was conducted. Each model has different shape parameters i.e. the number of hollow fiber membranes and the presence or absence of baffles. After comparison between the flow analysis results and dehumidification experiment results, the percentage error was found to be approximately 2%. The moisture removal rate for each model was calculated using flow analysis data. It was found that the moisture removal rate of refined model with three baffles and eight hollow fiber membranes was highest among the four modeled modules of hollow fiber membrane one, i.e. about 60%.

The horizontal porous baffle and its effect as an anti-slosh device have been investigated intensively in a swaying and rolling rectangular tank. To accurately assess the level at which porous baffles reduce liquid sloshing, the Matched Eigenfunction Expansion Method (MEEM) has been utilized as an analytical tool. The velocity potentials in the horizontal baffle-covered fluid region are expressed by the sum of the homogeneous and particular solutions to avoid solving the complex dispersion equation. By applying an equivalent linearized quadratic loss model, the nonlinear algebraic equation is derived and solved by implementing the Newton-Raphson iterative scheme. To prove the validity of the present theoretical model, a series of experiments have been conducted with different centered horizontal porous baffles with varying porosities and submerged depths in a swaying and rolling rectangular tank. Reasonably good agreements are obtained regarding the analytical solutions and the experiment's findings. The influence of porosity, submerged depth, and length of a centered horizontal porous baffle on anti-slosh performance have been analyzed, especially at resonance modes. The developed predictive tool can potentially provide guidelines for optimal design of the horizontal porous baffle.

In this study, a 3D model of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is established, and a new 3D baffle structure is designed, which is combined with the parallel flow field and then optimized by numerical simulation methods. The number of baffles and the cross-sectional trapezoidal base angle are taken as the main variables, and their impacts on the performance indexes of the cathode side are analyzed. The results show that the 3D baffle can facilitate the convection and diffusion mass transfer of reactants, improve the uniformity of oxygen distribution, enhance the drainage capacity, and make the cell performance superior; however, too small angle will lead to excessive local convective mass flux, resulting in the decrease of the overall uniformity of oxygen distribution and lowering the cell performance. Among them, the optimal number of baffles and angle are 9 and 58°, respectively, which improves the net output power density by 10.8% than conventional flow field.

본 연구의 목적은 급경사지 사면에서 토석류 재해가 발생했을 때, 토석류 저감 구조물의 효과를 조사한 실험연구이다. 제어 구조물로는 베플 형태를 취하였고, 베플의 설치 기수와 각 제원에 따라서 하류에서의 토석류에 의한 토사퇴적면적과 토사도달거리를 조사한 것이다. 수로의 경사가 급할수록 토사의 퇴적면적과 도달거리가 증가하였고, 토사체적농도가 감소할수록 토사퇴적면적과 토사의 도달거리가 증가하였다. 토사농도가 작은 경우(Cv = 0.5)는 토석류의 액성이 크기 때문에 수로 경사에 따른 차이가 나타났고, 전반적으로 토사체적농도가 클수록 토사퇴적면적과 토사의 도달거리 감소율이 크게 나타났다. 베플의 수를 증가할수록 토사퇴적면적과 도달거리를 약 5~10% 이상 감소하는 것으로 나타남으로서 베플의 토석류 제어능력이 있음을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 급경사지에서 토사재해가 발생할 때 감쇠 또는 제어 구조물을 설치할 때 중요한 정보를 제공할 것이다.
