In order to improve the performance of a free power turbine type gas turbine engine by injecting the atomized water into a compressor inlet., a study on Moisture Air Turbine (MAT) cycle was proposed. Compressor work by air-water mixtures in phase change was theoretically considered, and it was found that the water evaporation might reduce the compressor work. Cycle model calculations predicted that power increments of 16.2%, 14.9% and 12.6% by 1.0% water to the air flow rate at the compressor intake with rotational shaft speeds of 1000, 1210, 1350 rps were obtained, and also thermal efficiency due to the reduction of compressor work was improved.

In the present study, in order to improve precision of the component characteristic maps generated by the scaling method, a map generation method which can produce a compressor map from some experimental performance data using GAs(Genetic Algorithms) was proposed. However, in case of the proposed map generation method only using GAs, because it has a drawback for estimating correctly the surge points and the choke points of the compressor map, a modified GAs method was additionally proposed through complementally use of the scaling method to determine obviously those points of the compressor map.

A method for generating the compressor map from some performance measuring data using the hybrid intelligent technique was newly proposed. In order to improve accuracy of the traditional scaling method, a method to generate the compressor map using the GAs(Genetic Algorithms) was previously proposed, but the method has a drawback that it can not find correctly surge and choke points of the compressor map. However, the proposed hybrid intelligent method can determine obviously those points as well as improve the accuracy of the compressor map through complementarily using the GAs and the scaling method.

An Altitude Engine Test Facility(AETF) was built at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute in October 1999 and has been being operated for altitude testing of gas turbine engines of 3,000 Ibf class or less. The AETF has been calibrated using several engines such as J69 of Teledyne Co. as a facility checkout engine. Uncertainty analyses on the air flow rate and thrust were performed using the test results, according to ASME PTC 19.1-1998. Several modifications on the facility and test method were made in order to improve the measurement uncertainty to a satisfactory level over the whole operating envelop. Spatial distributions of pressure and temperature were measured, sensors were substituted by more accurate ones, inlet duct was modified to refine the flow quality, and pressure control logic was revised to remove the cell pressure fluctuation. As a result, the uncertainty of the air flow measurement was improved by 0.1% over all the test conditions, and the net thrust measurement by up to 3%. The improved measurement uncertainties of air flow and thrust are 0.68～O.73% and 0.4～1.3%, respectively.

Compressor work by air-water mixtures in phase change was theoretically considered, and it was found that the water evaporation might reduce the compressor work. Cycle model calculations predicted that power increments of 21.7%, 20.2% and 18.4% by 1.5% water to the air flow rate at the compressor intake with rotational shaft speeds of 1000, 1210, 1350 rps were obtained, and also thermal efficiency due to the reduction of compressor work was improved.

This paper presents results of the development of the turbo generator system with structure which is HSG(High Speed Generator) installed directly to gas-turbine engine. Turbo generator with a high speed motor-generator directly has many advantages aspects of weight, size, lubrication system and complexity of the system compared of conventional turbo generator system with a gear box. But because of direct high speed operation of the high speed generator, we have to need stable high speed motor driving algorithm for perfect engine ignition when engine start. Also we have to need the design of the Power conditioning unit(PCU) for converting high speed AC output power to conventional AC power or needed DC power.

A 100kW class gas turbine combustor was developed and tested for PPU(Primary Power Unit) of ground vehicle. The combustor which employed annular-reverse type and pressure swirl atomizer was designed through 1-D analysis, 3-D thermal flow analysis and combustor performance was experimentally investigated on the combustor test rig. The test result was satisfactory. The developed combustor was also tested for environmental and endurance specification under engine adopted conditions and the application of a state-of-the-art gas turbine combustor to ground vehicle PPU turned out to be successful.

The optimal design and combustion analysis of the gas generator for Liquid Rocket Engine (LRE) were performed. A fuel-rich gas generator in open cycle turbopump system was designed for 101on1 in thrust with RP-1/LOx combination. The optimal design was done for maximizing specific impulse of main combustion chamber with constraints of combustion temperature and power matching in turbopump system. Results of optimal design show the dimension of length, diameter, and contraction ratio of gas generator. The configuration of the gas generator and the condition for performance which can maximize the objective function were determined and found to meet the design constraints. Also, the combustion analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of designed chamber and injector of gas generator. And the effect of the turbulence ring was investigated on the mixing enhancement in the chamber.

Alloy 718은 Fe을 다량 함유하고 있어 가격이 저렴하고 엔진 작동조건에서 내열강도, 내환경성 등이 우수하여, 터빈디스크, 터빈샤프트, 터빈실, 압축기 블레이드 등에 다양하게 이용되고 있다. 이 합금은 고온에서 반복응력을 받는 부위에 대부분 사용되기 때문에 고온인장, 저주기 피로측정 등의 기계적 성질이 동시에 요구되며, 이들 특성은 단조공정변수 및 후열처리 등에 의해 크게 바뀌게 된다. 본 연구에서는 Alloy 718을 이용하여 가스터빈 디스크 제조할 경우 공정변수로서 단조온도, 변형속도 등에 의한 조직이 변화와 이에 따른 기계적 특성의 변화를 다루었다. 특히 이 합금에서 결정립크기는 고온 기계적 성질을 결정하는 중요한 변수로 작용하는데, 2단계 단조공정시 재결정에 의한 조직의 변화를 전산모사 방법에 의해 해석하고 그 결과를 조직 관찰을 통해 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 액체로켓엔진에서 터보펌프의 160kW급 터빈을 구동하고, 액체산소와 케로신을 추진제로 사용하는 가스발생기의 설계점 연소성능시험 결과에 대해 논의하였다. 충돌형 F-O-F 인젝터, 물냉각 채널을 가진 연소실, torch ignitor, turbulence ring 그리고 측정 링을 갖는 가스발생기에 대해 기술하였고, 점화, 연소, 종료 등의 시험 cyclogram에 대해 언급하였다. 설계점에서의 연소시험 및 turbulence ring 장착여부, 연소실 길이 변화에 따른 연소시험의 결과들에 대해 기술하였다. 연소시험 결과 가스발생기는 설계점에서 안정된 작동성을 보여주었고, 연소압력 및 온도 등의 성능이 예측치에 근접하는 결과를 보여 주었다. Turbulence ring은 출구에서의 가스온도를 균일하게 분포시켜 효과적인 혼합 장치임을 보여 주었고, 4-6msec 정도에서의 잔류시간에서는 연소효율의 차이가 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 가스발생기 출구에서의 온도는 공급되는 추진제의 O/F ratio에 따라 매우 민감하게 반응함을 알 수 있었다.
