In this study, a drainage-regulated type geotextile tube structure was proposed. The structure is composed of high permeability polypropylene(PP) and low permeability (PET) fabric in which the lengths of the fabric depend on the circumference ratio of the cross section. The purpose is to reduce the pressure inside the geotextile tube structure during filling as much as possible. Experimental study on the characteristics of the geotextile tube structure according to the permeability of the geotextile was also carried out. Experimental results of 4 small scaled geotextile tube structures showed that the bottom section formed as drainage type can reduce the filling pressure as well as increase the sedimentation height which confirms as the optimum cross section of the tube.

Close-coupled atomizers are of great interest and controlling their performance parameters is critical for metal powder producing and spray forming industries. In this study, designed close-coupled nozzle systems were used to investigate the effect of the nozzle types and protrusion length of the melt delivery tube on the pressure formation at the melt delivery tube tip. The observed metal flow rate was not behaving as what was earlier assumed, namely that, deeper aspiration enhanced metal flow rate. Higher aspiration pressure at the tip of the melt delivery tube increases the stability of atomization process.

This study has focused on identifying the cause of agglomeration that occurred in a domestic commercial-scale circulating fluidized bed boiler. Solid refuse fuel (SRF) was fed into the target facility to produce electricity. Agglomeration occurred in the combustor and cyclone during commercial operation. The bed material, clinkers produced in the combustor and cyclone, and boiler ash were collected, and components that are known to cause agglomeration were analyzed. Additionally, the possibility of slagging and fouling formation was predicted using components obtained by XRF analysis. The melting temperature of the bed material was decreased by complex reactions of low-boiling-point metal, alkaline metal and sulfur, and chlorine components. Then, agglomeration was generated because the bed material and ash were melted and combined. Basicity (B/A), which can lead to slagging, was estimated to be above 1.0 (reference 0.5 < B/A < 1.0). The boiler ash had a basicity of 1.83. The slag viscosity index (SVI) was estimated to be between 18.83 and 49.78 (reference 65 < SVI < 72). The boiler ash and combustor clinker had 3.30 and 4.40 total alkali (TA) values, respectively (reference 0.3 < TA < 0.4). This condition determined that slagging and fouling formation easily progressed. This result is expected to be utilized as data for preventing agglomeration formation and clinker generation.

최근 지구 온난화와 더불어 급격한 기후 변화 등으로 여름철 주간 냉방 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 이에 따른 전력 수요량 또한 증가하고 있다. 이런 이유로 세계적으로 에너지 이용 효율 향상에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있고, 최근 국내 및 국외의 축냉시스템을 이용한 주간 전력 피크값을 최소화 하는 연구개발과 실제 적용 사례가 늘어나고 있다. 빙축열시스템의 경우 그 경제적 효과가 높아 그 관심이 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 축냉시스템은 주간 냉방에 사용하는 냉열을 야간에 만들어 탱크에 저장해 두었다가 그것을 낮에 이용함으로써, 갑작스런 부하 증가에 적절히 대응할 수 있는 등 여러 가지 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 실험에서는 슬러리아이스 생성을 위해 냉각표면에서 생성된 슬러리아이스를 분리시키기 위해 유체보다 밀도가 낮은 역전유동 물질을 삽입하여 역전 유동층을 형성하였으며, 역전유동층의 유동에 의해 관군으로 구성되어 있는 냉각튜브 표면에 빙부착이 심화되기 전에 얼음 입자를 분리시켜 수 내지 수십 미크론 단위의 슬러리아이스를 생성하도록 하였다.
