In general, the choking phenomenon occurs by flow acceleration for a turbine at high pressure ratio condition. In choking condition, total pressure ratio increases without mass flow rate variation. It is hard to predict choking characteristics by using conventional meanline analysis which used mass flow inlet boundary condition. In the present study, the algorithm for predicting choking point is developed to solve the problem. Moreover, performance estimation algorithm after choking is presented by reflecting the flow behaviour of flow expansion at choked nozzle or rotor. The analysis results are compared with 3D CFD analysis and experimental data to validate present method.

In general, the choking phenomenon occurs due to the flow acceleration of a turbine under high pressure-ratio. During choking, the total pressure ratio increases without any variation in the mass flow rate. It is difficult to predict choking characteristics by using conventional meanline analysis, which utilizes mass flow inlet boundary condition. In this study, an algorithm for predicting the choking point is developed to solve this problem. In addition, a performance estimation algorithm is presented to estimate the performance after choking, based on the flow behavior of flow expansion at the choked nozzle or rotor. The analysis results are compared with 3D CFD analysis and experimental data to validate this method.

This study investigated the influence of air staging on combustion and NOx emission in a tangential-firing boiler at a 560 MWe capacity. For air staging, the stoichiometric ratio (SR) for the burner zone was varied from 0.995 to 0.94 while the overall value was fixed at 1.2. The temperature and heat flux in the burner zone and upper furnace corresponded to the distribution of SR, while the total boiler efficiency remained similar. The NOx emission at the furnace exit was reduced by up to 20% when the SR in the burner zone decreased to 0.94. However, the amount of unburned carbon and slagging propensity was not noticeably influenced by the changes in the SR of the burner zone. Therefore, it was favorable to lower the SR of the burner zone for reduction of NOx emission.

The heat transfer and flow characteristics of gas turbine blade tip were investigated in this paper by using the conjugate heat transfer analysis. The rotor inlet boundary condition profile which was taken from the first stage nozzle outlet was used to analyse. The profile contained the velocity and temperature information. This study presents the influence of tip clearance about aerodynamic loss, heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness with the squealer tip designed blade model which tip clearance variation range from 1% to 2.5% of span. Results showed that the aerodynamic loss and the heat transfer coefficient were increased when the tip clearance was increased. Especially when the tip clearance was 2% of the span, the average heat transfer coefficient on the tip region was increased obviously. The film cooling effectiveness of tip region was increasing with decreasing of the tip clearance. There was high film cooling effectiveness at cavity and near tip hole region.

In the MPLS(Multiprotocol Label Switching) forwarding paradigm, once a packet is assigned to a FEC(Forwarding Equivalence Class), no further header analysis is done by subsequent routers; all forwarding is driven by the labels. This has a number of advantages over conventional network layer forwarding. The MPLS LER(Label Edge Router) is located at the boundary of MPLS domain and plays a role in connecting with the existing Internet as an ingress or an egress router. That is, the MPLS LER as an ingress router assigns a label to a packet which enters the MPLS network from the Internet by analyzing its header and forwards to a corresponding next router in MPLS domain. As an egress router, the MPLS LER turns the packets out of the MPLS network by performing the reverse operation. In this paper, we analyze the traffic performance of an MPLS LER system and estimate the IP(Internet Protocol) packet processing capacity of the system using queueing model and simulation. It is found that the maximum IP packet processing capacity of the system is estimated by 420,000 through 460,000 packets/sec.

The combustion characteristics with variations in synthetic natural gas (SNG) compositions were studied in a lab-scale combustor. The objective of the current study is to investigate the flame stabilization, flame structure, and spectrometry in a non-premixed SNG flame with varying fuel compositions. For the analysis of light emission in SNG flames, we used a spectrometer. As experimental conditions, the fuel jet velocity at the nozzle exit $u_F$ was varied from 5 to 40 m/s and the coaxial air velocity $u_A$ was varies from 0 to 0.43 m/s. The experiments showed that the flame stability increased with the hydrogen component in SNG.

In a spray experiment using a venturi mounted on a lean premixed LPP injector, droplets appear to have non-uniform distributions. To solve this problem, the exit angle of the venturi was changed to form a dump surface on the nozzle neck. The dump surface improved the atomization performance and minimized droplet loss while forming recirculation zone in the venturi exit. In order to solve the non-uniform spray of the injector, the flow characteristics inside the venturi and SMD of the spray are compared. Finally, an optimum venturi shape is selected to minimize the spray loss and improve the spray performance.

This study presents the measurement techniques on the periodic fluctuating flow such as the discharge flow of a centrifugal impeller in unstable operating region. During rotating stall, the flow at the exit of a centrifugal compressor impeller fluctuates periodically with lower frequency than that of the blade passing. To observe the blade-to-blade flow characteristics during rotating stall, the phases of all the sampled data sets should be adjusted to those of the reference signals with two processes, in these processes, DPLEAT (Double Phase-Locked Ensemble Averaging Technique) can be used. From these measurement and data processing techniques, the characteristics not only on the blade-to-blade flow with high frequency, but also on the periodic rotating stall flow with low frequency at the centrifugal impeller exit can be clearly observed.

The near field structure of round turbulent jets with initially asymmetric velocity distribution is investigated experimentally. Experiments were carried out using a constant temperature hot-wire anemometry system to measure streamwise velocity in the jets. The measurements were undertaken across the jet at various streamwise stations in a range starting from the jet exit plane and up to a downstream location of twelve diameters. The experimental results include the distribution of mean and instantaneous velocities, vorticity field, turbulence intensity, and the Reynolds shear stress. The asymmetry of the jet exit plane was obtained by using circular cross-section pipes with a bend at the upstream of the exit. Three pipes were used for this study: A straight pipe, 90 and 160 degree-bended pipes. Therefore, at the upstream of the pipe exit, the secondary flow through the bend and the mean streamwise velocity distribution could be controlled by changing the curvature of pipes.
