In this paper, the effect of circumferential inlet distortion on performance and stall has been experimentally investigated in a high-speed centrifugal compressor, comparing distorted cases with undistorted one. The performance of compressor was slightly deteriorated by defect of inlet static pressure which is caused by the circumferential inlet distortion. As stall was fully developed the inlet distortion did not affect the number of stall cell and the propagation velocity. It also did not affect stall inception at 40,000 and 50,000 rpm. However stall occurred at the lower flow rate for distorted flow at 60,000 rpm. For 50,000 rpm a unexpected phenomenon occurred : stall occurred first and then it disappeared.

Design parameters for suction channels of process centrifugal compressors were investigated, and an optimization method to enhance stage efficiency by using the new design parameters was proposed. From results of computational fluid dynamics, the passage sectional area ratios $A_c/A_e$, $A_e/A_s$ and $A_c/A_s$ were found to be the dominant parameters for the pressure loss and circumferential flow distortion, where $A_c$, $A_e$ and $A_s$ are passage sectional areas for the casing upstream side, casing entrance and impeller eye, respectively. The Base suction channel was optimized using the new design parameters, and the Base and Optimized types were tested. Test results showed that the Optimized suction channel achieved 3.8% higher stage efficiency than the Base suction channel while maintaining the same operating range.

Off-design experimental performance was investigated for a small centrifugal compressor, whose impeller diameter is about 125mm, used in an industrial gas turbine. Test rig was designed and manufactured with a radial inflow turbine and a combustor to supply driving power to the compressor. Static pressure was measured on the casing of the impeller, vaneless diffuser, vaned diffuser and volute. Total pressure was obtained using specially fabricated rakes at the vaned diffuser throat and exit. Circumferential nonuniformity was found, near surge, in the Impeller, vaned diffuser and volute region. Spanwise nonuniform flow from the impeller affected the total pressure defects in the vaned diffuser region. Static pressure distortion in the circumferential direction in the volute was found near surge, where the minimum occurred near 140 degree position.

Heat distortion of the non-contacting mechanical face seal is affected by friction heat between primary seal and seal sheet. The fluid or gas in mechanical face seal maintains operating gap, cooling friction heat and lubricates at the face of seal. So we designed face of seal for inclined face. inclined face of seal improves fluid or gas flow at the face of seal and it increases circumferential velocity at outer radius of the seal so temperature of the seal is decreased by low heat transfer coefficient at there. In this paper, inclined face seal are analysed numerically using finite element method for proof improve inclined face seal performance. Angle of the incline face used for FEA is from 50$^{\circ}$to 90$^{\circ}$and for explaining the effects of inclined face in seal, we get temperature, face distortion, and stress in the seal with variable operating gap and rotating speeds. Result of analysis shows that angle of the incline face is 60$^{\circ}$come to good thermal distortion characteristics.

터빈 또는 압축기와 같은 터보기계의 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 입구의 유동을 측정해야 한다. 입구의 평균된 유동을 측정하기 위해서는 일반적으로 여러 개의 엘리먼트를 가진 레이크를 여러 개 사용해서 원주방향과 반경방향으로 평균된 유동을 사용한다. 그런데 터빈 입구에서 레이크를 사용하여 터빈 입구의 유동을 측정하면 레이크에서 유동을 측정한 후 레이크 자체가 손실을 일으키므로 터빈 입구에서의 전압력에 차이가 있을 뿐 아니라 교란된 유동이 터빈의 성능에 기대하지 않은 영향을 미치는 문제점이 있다. 그러므로 터빈 입구에 고정적으로 설치한 레이크로 측정한 데이터로는 정확한 터빈의 성능을 평가하는데 오차를 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 터보기계의 시험시 레이크와 레이크 후단에서 프로브를 이용한 상세 유동 측정을 통하여 레이크의 손실을 측정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 이 방법을 사용하여 시험을 수행한 결과를 제시하였다.
