일반적으로 이젝터(ejector)는 노즐로부터 팽창하는 높은 운동량을 가지는 주 유동과 주변의 낮은 운동량을 가지는 유동사이에서 생기는 강한 전단력을 이용하여, 분류 주변의 유체를 보다 고압의 부분까지 압축하여 수송하는 장치이다. 이젝터는 노즐(nozzle)과 디퓨저(diffuser)로 되어 있으며, 회전부분이나 활동부분을 가지지 않는 유체기계이므로 고장이 적고, 소형임에도 불구하고 대용량의 유체를 압축할 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이젝터의 구동은 유체의 전단력만을 이용하므로 효율이 낮은 단점이 있으므로, 이젝터 형상의 최적설계 및 성능개선을 위한 연구가 필요하다.

The effects of design parameters of supersonic ejector system under the assumption of constant pressure mixing were performed. Design parameters were mass flow rate ratio, area ratio between primary and secondary flow, and primary Mach number. 1-D theoretical performance of ejector in terms of pressure ratio and contraction ratio with and without loss mechanism such as diffuser efficiency and friction were considered.

Ejector system are used to transport a low momentum flow to the higher pressure flow by the momentum change between high and low momentum flows. This system is used to simulate the high altitude and Mach number condition over altitude 20 km and Mach 4 of the supersonic test facility. We applied the design and the performance analysis technique(EISIMP code) of the Ramjet Test Facility(RJTF) air system in JAXA to the ejector system of the ramjet test facility in KARI. After preliminary design of the ejector system, we performed a computational study using FLUENT and investigated shock structures and flow characteristics of the ejector system.

This paper investigates the effect of the rotational motion of a driving fluid generated by a rotational motion device at the inlet of a driving nozzle for a gas-liquid ejector, which is the main device used for ozonated ship ballast water treatment. An experimental apparatus was constructed to study the pressure and suction flow rate of each port of the ejector according to the back pressure. Experimental data were acquired for the ejector without rotational motion. Based on the data, a finite element model was then developed. The rotational motion of the driving fluid could improve the suction efficiency of the ejector based on the CFD model. Based on the CFD results, structure optimization was performed for the internal shape of the rotation induction device to increase the suction flow rate of the ejector, which was performed using the kriging technique and a metamodel. The optimized rotation induction device improved the ejector efficiency by about 3% compared to an ejector without rotational motion of the driving fluid.

Considering the complexity and difficulty on the researching, how to enhance the performance of ejector-diffuser system effectively became a significant task. In the present study, the supersonic nozzle was redesigned using Chevrons installed at the inlet of the secondary stream of the ejector-diffuser system for the purpose of the performance improvement. A CFD method based on Fluent has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows and shock waves inside the ejector. Primary numerical analysis results show that the Chevrons get a positive effect on the ejector flows. The comparison of ejector performance with and without the Chevron was obtained and optimal number of chevron lobe is discussed to increase the performance. The ejector-diffuser system performance is discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, pressure recovery as well as total pressure loss.

The International Maritime Organization(IMO) could try to adopt more severe amendment to prevent any air pollution from various waste materials by marine incinerator. This study is to analyse the performance improvement through Ansys CFD about new invented system which has three flue-gas discharge channels and sub-ejector installed in the dischage channel in order to evacuate flue-gas well from the combustion chamber. The results showed that the discharge temperature of flue-gas was below the regulated value of IMO by the multi-channels, and the sub-ejector system installed in the discharge channel was highly effective one to improve the flue-gas discharge ability.

In this study, experimental and analytical studies were carried out to observe the phenomenon of aerodynamic throat formed according to the primary flow and secondary flow momentum of the ejector. The equilibrium interval of the aerodynamic throat, which is the main variable of the ejector performance, was observed through the experiment using the cold flow experiment and the analysis using FLUENT. Performance characteristics were investigated by the change of the primary flow rate and the throat diameter of the ejector cylinder. As a result, the performance of the standard ejector was confirmed to be within the range of 0.33~1.167(off-design/design) and cylinder throat diameter range of 1~1.17(off-design/design area ratio).

Ejector-diffuser system makes use of high-pressure primary stream to entrain the low-pressure secondary stream through pure shear action between two streams. In general, the flow field in the ejector-diffuser system is highly complicated due to turbulent mixing, compressibility effects. A fatal drawback of the ejector system is in its low efficiency. Many works have been done to improve the performance of the ejector system, but not yet satisfactory. In the present study, a mixing guide vane was installed at the inlet of the secondary stream for the purpose of the performance improvement of the ejector system. A CFD method has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows inside the ejector-diffuser system. The present results obtained were validated with existing experimental data. The mixing guide vane effects are discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, total pressure loss as well as pressure recovery.

Tandem-ejector has been devised for engine-bay cooling. In this study, 1-D model has been developed to analyze Tandem-ejector. In the model, the primary, the secondary and the tertiary flow conditions have been analyzed with isentropic process. The mixing process has been analyzed with conservation laws based on the control volume analysis. The total pressure loss of the primary flow has been analyzed under the matching condition between the static pressure of Tandem-ejector discharge flow and atmospheric pressure. Consequently, 1-D model can predict Tandem-ejector performance accurately and provide the performance map.

This research was conducted for an acquisition of the ramjet engine test facility design technique which are concerned about freejet type test facility. In this research, we concentrated on the design technique and the construction technique of the vitiation air heater(VAH), test section, diffuser and ejector. Based on the operating modes of the basic test facility, ten operating modes in coordinates "Altitude-Mach number" was regenerated from Mach 2, Altitude 0km to Mach 5, Altitude 15km. In this operating modes, we calculated a design parameter of the supersonic nozzle, VAH, diffuser and ejector and acquired a technique for the ramjet test facility operating and repairing.
