The complicated helical flow formed in the regenerative turbomachines is usually decomposed into a peripheral component and a circulatory component. On the basis of the momentum exchange theory, the circulatory flow plays a critical role of imparting angular momentum to the peripheral flow. Therefore, the accuracy of performance prediction is dominated by the circulatory flow modeling. Until now the circulatory flow has been accounted of a standstill flow normal to the peripheral flow. However, the circulatory path from the impeller exit to the re-entrance inlet is exposed to the adverse pressure gradient, so it would be more realistic to describe that the circulatory flow is formed on the skewed plane not perpendicular to the peripheral flow. Present study suggests new circulatory flow loss model including the effect of adverse pressure gradient and modifies the effective circulatory flow rate and circulatory pivot which were previously published.

In momentum exchange theory the loss models for the circulatory flow is critically important. But because of lack of loss model on the circulatory flow, analysis model on regenerative turbomachines is not available in the open literature. In the present study circulatory loss is evaluated by combining bend's losses. Through the comparison with the previous experimental data on linear pressure gradient, a combination factor is suggested in terms of the aspect ratio of a channel. Applying this factor to two kinds of regenerative blowers the predicted results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data of the overall performance and the head distribution along the rotational direction. Especially, the comparison with the head distribution demonstrates the accuracy of hydraulic model and loss model suggested in the present study. And the comparison with the overall performance confirms the validness of physical models as well as loss models suggested in the present study.

The periphery pump (or regenerative pump) has been generally applied in the automotive fuel pump due to their low specific speed (high heads and small flow rate) with stable performance curves. In this study, the performance prediction of side channel type periphery pumps has been developed. The prediction of the circulatory flow rate is based on the consideration of the centrifugal force field in the side-channel and in the impeller vane grooves. For the determination of performance curve (head-flow rate), momentum exchange theory is used. The effects of various geometric parameters and loss coefficients used in the performance prediction method on the head and efficiency are discussed, and the results were compared with experimental data.

A performance of a regenerative pump has been analyzed using various pressure loss correlations. The predicted head and efficiency agree favorably with experimental data, which confirms the validity of the present analysis. In addition, performance improvement is made through the optimization of the open channel geometry configuration and the capacity of the regenerative pump. The optimized pump has better efficiency, higher head and larger flow coefficient. Moreover, its operation range is wider than that of the conventional unit.

For regenerative pump performance test we made 5 times enlarged and 3 different kinds blade types impeller with similarity. Due to geometrical characteristic of regenerative pump, there are two kinds of groups which effect on performance of it. One is geometric shape of impeller blade and the other is clearance and inlet/outlet head loss. To study performance of regenerative pump with impeller shape changes, we tested it with reducing clearance. And we reconcile performance data in the case of zero clearance and zero inlet/outlet head loss. Finally we could verify the influence of each group.

순환계는 혈액의 흐름이 원활하게 되도록 그 해부학적 구조와 혈류의 물리학적 특성이 연결되어있다. 혈액의 흐름에 영향을 주는 혈액의 물리학적 특성을 혈유변학적 인자(Hemorheologic factors)라 하며, 혈액의 점도(blood viscosity) 및 적혈구 응집도(erythrocyte aggregation)와 같은 혈유변학적 특성은 헤마토크리트(hematocrit; Hct)와 밀접한 관계를 가진다. 헤마토크리트가 높을수록 혈액 점도가 증가하고 적혈구 응집도는 증가하며 순환을 저해하고 조직에 산소 전달 능력을 방해한다. 혈청 페리틴은 과도하게 있을 경우 산화유리기(oxygen free radial)를 통하여 혈관 내피세포(vascular endothelial cell)와 혈구 세포(blood cell)에 산화 손상을 유발하여 심혈관계 손상을 유발한다. 이러한 기전을 근거로 사혈 혹은 헌혈을 심혈관계 질환의 예방 및 치료에 응용하려는 시도가 오랫동안 있었다. 사혈은 의학에 있어 오랜 역사를 가지면서 특히 한방의 치료적 개념으로 최근까지도 사용되고 있으나 그 과학적 근거가 불충분하고 아직까지 논란의 여지도 있어 근거 중심의 의학을 근간으로 하는 의학에서는 도외시되어왔다. 하지만 혈액량이 증가하면 혈유변학적 인자들(hemorheological factors) 역시 악화되면서 대 순환에서 동맥경화의 발생 및 진행에 영향을 주고, 모세순환(microcirculation)을 악화시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며 심뇌혈관 사건에 영향을 주는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 정기적인 헌혈자(regular blood donors)에게 혈유변학적 인자들을 저명하게 호전시키고 과도한 철분의 함량을 줄여서 산화유리기에 의한 혈구 및 내피세포의 산화 손상을 줄임으로써, 순환계내에서 혈액순환을 촉진시킬 수 있다는 증거들이 보고되고 있다. 헌혈의 효과가 심혈관계 질환에 이익이 된다는 확고한 장기적 코호트 연구결과가 도출된다면 절대적으로 헌혈 혈액량이 부족한 현실과 심혈관계 질환의 예후를 호전시킬 수 있다는 측면에서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다고 생각된다.
