Air blower has been widely used in many industrial fields such as wind tunnel and large ventilation systems. Its performance is affected by operating conditions and system geometry of inpeller and duct, and these design parameter optimization is essential for the effective development. CFD analysis is carried out to investigate the air flow field characteristics with outlet total pressure in a blower system. Intake air into the impeller blade through the inlet is compressed, and then gradually discharged from the outlet with ascending total pressure, and predicted results are compared with test data. Especially this overall pressure difference in the blower system severely depends on the flow rate. These results are expected to be used as applicable design data for blower performance improvement.

In this study, the cooling performance change according to the arrangement of the fin-tube heat exchanger using a single tube and the cooling performance change according to the air flow rate were studied. The arrangement of basic heat exchanger was set to 4 columns and 4 rows, and the performance change was studied while changing the columns and rows. In addition, the performance change was investigated by changing the air flow rate of the basic heat exchanger.

구조물 환기성능 평가에서 기존 사용된 환기 지표 (ACH: Air Change per Hour)는 유체가 거동하는 구조물 내 유량의 흡·배기량과 전체 볼륨에 의해 결정된다. 이는 구조물 내 유체 유동 중 국부적으로 정체된 흐름을 평가하는 지표로 사용하기 부적합하다. 본 논문에서는 구조물에서 국부적으로 정체된 흐름을 정량적으로 나타내기 위해 역류량을 이용하여 새로운 지표 (κ: 역류량 지수)를 제안 하고, 구조형상 변수에 의해 국부적으로 정체된 유체 흐름을 평가한다. 유체 흐름 영향인자로 구조형상 변수는 공극비 (ρ), 공극 개수 (N)로 선정한다. 전산 유체 역학 (CFD)에 의한 해석 결과, 구조형상 변수에 의한 자연 환기 성능은 유사하지만, 공극의 유무에 의한 국부 정체 기류의 크기에는 차이가 발생함이 나타난다. 또한, 역류량 지수는 구조형상 변수 각각 감소함에 따라 값이 증가하는 경향이 나타난다. 본 결과를 바탕으로 회귀분석을 통해 공극비과 공극 개수 변수에 의한 역류량과 역류량 지수의 근사값이 제시된다.

The effect of the change in air inflow velocity has been investigated at the opening of the malodor emission source to determine its influence on the Complex odor concentration. Both the Complex odor collection efficiency and concentrations were measured according to the change in airflow velocity. When the air inflow velocity was 0.1 m/s, it was observed that some of the generated gas streams were diffused to the outside due to low collection efficiency. In contrast, only the increased gas collection volume up to 0.5 m/s showed no substantial reduction of the Complex odor concentration, which indicates an increase in the size of the local exhaust system as well as the operation cost for the Complex odor control device. When the air inflow velocity reached 0.3 m/s, the Complex odor concentrations not only were the lowest, but the odorous gas could also be collected efficiently. The air inflow velocity at the opening of the malodor emission source was considered the key factor in determining the gas collection volume. Therefore, based on the results of this study, an optimal air inflow velocity might be suggestive to be 0.3 m/s.

The amount of sewage sludge emission is gradually increasing every year. However, the Ocean dumping of sewage sludge was prohibited since 2012 by london convention 96 protocol. Therefore, ground disposal method for recycling organic waste or utilizing to energy technology was needed. The heat is generated when sewage sludge has decomposed with the aerobic microbes. In this study, the heat would be applied to dehydrate sewage sludge. The drying efficiency was evaluated according to Air Flow Rate(AFR) and the mixing proportion of the returned sludge. At the experiments used returned sludge Which was dried at 40% moisture content. As a result, the most high temperature was indicated when it mixed 30% and optimal AFR for maintaining aerobic condition was 200 mL/min.kg. During 14days of Biodrying, the highest temperature of reactor was 46℃ and maintained 5~7days are higher than 40℃. and also 18.8% of moisture was eliminated. These results show that using Biodrying to sewage sludge has economic potential compared to hot-air drying and can be one of the method to produce SRF with additional treatment.

Desorption characteristics of VOCs were investigated for the effective recovery of gasoline vapor. The adsorption capacity and desorption capacity were excellent at relatively low temperatures. The differences in the desorption capacity were not large in the condition; desorption temperature 25℃, desorption pressure 760 mmHg, inlet air flow rate 0.5 L/min, but were relatively great in the condition; desorption temperature 0℃, desorption pressure 60 mmHg, inlet air flow rate 1.0 L/min. The desorption ability of pentane was increased to about 81.4%, and the desorption ability of hexane was increased to about 102%, also the desorption ability of toluene was increased to about 156.7% by changes of temperature, pressure, inlet air flow rate in the experimental conditions. The optimum desorption condition for the effective recovery of VOCs was in the conditions; desorption temperature 0℃, desorption pressure 60 mmHg, inlet air flow rate 1.0 L/min.

The capacity of a pressure fan can be designed based on the air flow resistance of containers packed with fruits and vegetables in a pressure cooling system. This study was conducted to develop an air flow resistance model that was dependent on changes in the air flow rate and the method of stacking containers. The air flow resistance of a container packed with uniformly shaped balls was 1.5 times greater than the sum of the air flow resistance of a vacant container and that of a wire net container packed with only balls. In addition, the air flow resistance increased exponentially as the width of the stacks increased; however, the air flow resistance did not increase greatly as the length and height of the stacks increased, which indicates that the air flow resistance is primarily influenced by the width of the stack in the air flow direction. The air flow resistance in two lines of stacking was up to 17% less than that of the width of the stack. It was also possible to determine the air flow resistance using a function of the air flow resistance through a single container and develop a prediction model. A prediction model of air flow resistance that is dependent on the stacking method and the air flow resistance of a single container was developed.
