The blockage rate for three kinds of nets commonly used in agricultural facilities was assessed by using the image acquisition and its relevant processing. By using both empirical relations presented by Idel’chik and Richards and Robinson, and the blockage rate obtained from the image processing, the pressure drop through the nets was predicted and also compared with wind tunnel experiment results. The results of the study showed that the blockage rate of the net was discriminated according to such factors as the magnitude of nets, the existence of inside threads, the thickness and number of threads. In addition, the blockage rate for the incident angle of 0° when the wind blew at the front had the range of 0.22-0.29 (0.22-0.32 when considering whole incident angles from 0° to 45° by 15°). For the nets with the blockage rate of about 30% or below, the prediction by the empirical relations of by Idel’chik and Richards and Robinson showed a little higher pressure drop overall than that of the wind tunnel test, but the use of the empirical relations and the blockage rate could be thought of as providing effectively meaningful guidelines for the safe design of agricultural facilities including nets because the wind tunnel test has been tedious and expensive. Further research and potential application on the prediction technique of the pressure drop, regarding both a subtle deformation by the wind and manufacturing methods with regard to the level of knots and the existence of inside threads, needs to be done for the nets with higher blockage rate.
In order to analyze the pressure drop of the fluid passing through the hydraulic coupler, a flow model using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis technique was developed and the fluid flow rate and pressure distribution inside the coupler were analyzed. The analysis model was corrected by comparing the pressure drop measurement using a 6.35mm hydraulic coupler with the ISO reference value and the simulation prediction value. Using the calibrated model, the flow rate and pressure drop of 13 types of hydraulic couplers distributed on the market were analyzed, and their performance was determined by comparing them with ISO reference values. In the case of type A coupler, the pressure drop was generally higher than the ISO reference value, and in the case of type B coupler, the pressure drop was similar to or lower than the ISO reference value. It was confirmed that the complex flow analysis inside the hydraulic coupler could be easily performed through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, and based on this, problems could be identified and performance could be improved performance.
Heat transfer and pressure drop of horizontal heat exchangers with different configurations and installations numerically characterized. Three different heat exchangers were used and shaped as linear, wavy, and horizontal slinky, respectively. Installation depth was set from 0.5m to 3.0m and pipe spacing was ranged from 0.3m to 2.1m. The results showed that heat transfer rate and pressure drop were increased with the increase in the installation depth and the pipe spacing. The horizontal slinky heat exchanger carried more heat compared to others due to the greater effective heat transfer surface area per installation area. In terms of a ratio of heat transfer rate to pressure drop indicating the system efficiency, the linear heat exchanger performed better than others. On the other hand, the horizontal slinky heat exchanger was the most effective with respect to a ratio of heat transfer rate to installation cost.
At a two phase flow, according to gas and liquid phase flow rates, various flow regimes are developed such as bubbly, slug/plug, churn, annular, droplet flow and so on. At a two phase flow in small scaled channels, among various flow regimes, the intermittent flows such as bubbly, slug/plug flow are developed in the broad regions of two phase flow pattern map. In particular, the flow regimes are influenced by surface wettability. In a case of slug flow in hydrophobic small scaled channels, gas and liquid phases are perfectively separated by interfaces and contact line. The pressure drop of the two-phase flow is largely generated at moving contact line. Therefore, to well design two-phase flow system with small scales, it is important to estimate the pressure drop at moving contact line. In this study, on the basis of previous research, the pressure drop at moving contact line is experimentally measured for a various fluids (0-40% water-ethanol mixtures). And, the previous correlation to estimate pressure drop at moving contact line is verified by experimental data. In an addition, we discuss interfacial broken phenomena of slug flow in a minichannel. (D=1.555mm).
In this study, the air-side cooling capacity and pressure drop of an evaporator for a refrigerator unit were experimentally investigated. Using the calorimeter, the performance of the evaporator was verified by changing the fin shape, fin pitch, tube row and air flow rate. The experimental apparatus consisted of the calorimeter which functioned as a constant temperature and humidity chamber and the refrigeration cycle. In order to select the heat exchanger suitable for the evaporator, both air-side cooling capacity and pressure drop should be considered at the same time. From the evaporator performance test by pin type, wavy pin was selected. The optimal performance of the evaporator was observed at the fin pitch of 5 mm, the tube row of 6 row, and the air flow rate of 40㎥/min.
본 연구에서는 지름이 일정한 하나의 직선 관형 막을 가정하여 그 단위구간의 투과속도에 대한 물질수지를 세웠으며 이것을 기초로 하여 파이프의 정상상태 식과 함께 비선형 연립 2차 미분방정식을 이루었다. 이러한 관형 막의 압력손실을 표현한 연립방정식은 비선형이므로 Gauss-Seidel method와 같은 반복법에 의해서 해결될 수 있다. 이러한 수치해를 나타내기 위해 모사 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 또한 투과수는 운전 조건의 변화에 따라 변하므로 각 조건에서의 연립 방정식의 해를 수치적으로 적분하여 해결하였다. 모사의 결과를 검증, 해석하기 위해서 실제 중공사막과 유사한 관형 막을 사용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 중공사막을 유체가 흐를 때 발생하는 압력손실, 유량, 그리고 투과수의 관계를 분석적 방법을 이용해 제시하였고 이러한 이론적 기초를 바탕으로 실제 기공을 가진 막에 적용하여 그 정확성을 실험을 통하여 비교하였다.

In recent European telecommunication base transceiver stations(BTS), a membrane laminated air filter is reported to replace a heat exchanger in order to cool internal digital units of BTS. The concept of using the air filter is for the direct ambient cooling (DAC) of BTS without heat loss generally found in the heat exchanger type BTS. In the present study, a performance evaluation experiment was conducted to investigate the pressure drop characteristics with dust loading and the particle collection efficiency of the air filter for the DAC of BTS. Finally, the long term operation lifetime of the air filter for BTS was suggested with a given fan rotation speed.
In order to develop combination air filters for air conditioners, 2 types of charging section were constructed. One was the wire-plate type and the other was the scroll type. Each charging section was combined with the same electrostatic polypropylene (PP) media. NaCl aerosol particles with geometric mean diameter of 0.05∼0.16㎛, geometric standard deviation of 1.6∼1.9 and total number concentration of 1,700∼24,000 particles/㎤ were used to determine collection efficiencies of the combination air filters for air conditioners with respect to particle size. It was shown that the scroll type combination air filter has greater collection efficiencies and lower pressure drops than the wire-plate type one does.

Heat transfer performance improvement by fin and groovs is studied for condensation of R-11 on integral-fin tubes. Eight tubes with trapczodially shaped integral-fins having fin density from 748 to 1654fpm(fin per meter) and 10, 30 grooves are tested. A plain tube having the same diameter as the finned tubes is also used for comparison. R-11 condensates at saturation state of 32 ℃ on the outside tube surface coded by inside water flow. All of test data are taken at steady state. The heat transfer loop is used for testing singe long tubes and cooling is pumped from a storage tank through filters and folwmeters to the horizontal test section where it is heated by steam condensing on the outside of the tubes. The pressure drop across the test section is measured by menas pressure gauge and manometer. The results obtained in this study is as follows : 1. Based on inside diameter and nominal inside area, overall heat transfer coefficients of finned tube are enhanced up to 1.6 ~ 3.7 times that of a plain tube at a constant Reynolds number. 2. Friction factors are up to 1.6 ~ 2.1 times those of plain tubes. 3. The constant pumping power ratio for the low integral-fin tubes increase directly with the effective area to the nominal area ratio, and with the effective area diameter ratio. 4. A tube having a fin density of 1299fpm and 30 grooves has the best heat transfer performance.
