The effect of symmetric and asymmetric micro regenerative pump impellers on their pressure performance was studied. The shut off head of the pump with the symmetric impeller was about 2.5 times as that with the asymmetric impeller. The computation of the internal flow was performed to clarify the cause of the increase of the head. It was found that the contribution of the angular momentum supply was larger than that of shear stress for the head development in both cases. The larger head and momentum supply in the case of the symmetric impeller were caused by larger recirculated flow rate and larger angular momentum difference between the inlet and outlet to the impeller. The larger recirculated flow rate was caused by smaller pressure gradient in the direction of recirculated flow. The decrease of the circumferential velocity in the casing was attributed to the smaller local flow rate in the casing.

Recently, the erosion due to cavitation frequently occurs on a horn-type rudder of a high-speed large container carrier. It is necessary to understand the flow characteristics around a rudder in fully wetted and cavitating flow condition, and the process of generation and collapse of cavitation for a rudder design to minimize the cavity-induced erosion. The flow characteristics around a two-dimensional hydrofoil(NACA66) are investigated through the computational method utilizing a viscous flow theory applied to a cavitation model. The computational results from the viscous flow theory are verified by the comparison with the experimental results, and are compared with those from the potential flow theory. The effects of angle of attack, Reynolds number, cavitation number, and thickness ratio on the cavitating flow are also investigated.

본 연구에서는 길이 4.5 m와 7.5 m의 다중관 $CO_2$ 급탕 열교환기의 열전달 및 압력강하 특성을 ${\epsilon}-NTU$ 방법을 사용하여 해석하고 결과를 기존의 실험 데이터와 비교하였다. 급탕 열교환기는 쉘측에 물이 흐르고 8개로 구성된 내부 튜브에 $CO_2$를 흐르게 하였으며 열전달 효율을 최대화하기 위하여 대향류로 설계하였다. 각 노드에 대한 물과 $CO_2$ 냉매의 유동에 대한 에너지 평형 방정식은 단면분할법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 열전달율 계산값은 실험값과 ${\pm}5%$ 범위 내에서 잘 일치하였다. 반면에 물의 출구온도는 물 유량이 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적으로 감소하며 계산값과 실험값은 ${\pm}3%$ 내에서 일치하였다. 결과에서 열전달율은 4.5 m와 7.5 m 급탕 열교환기 모두 물 유량 또는 $CO_2$ 입구온도가 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 반면에 물 유량이 증가함에 따라 물의 출구온도는 선형적으로 감소하였다. $CO_2$ 압력강하 계산값과 실험값은 $CO_2$가 고유량일 때 5 % 내에서 잘 일치한 반면에 $CO_2$가 저유량일 때 실험값이 약 20 % 높게 나타났다.

Experimental research on flow characteristics of open natural circulation system was performed, to figure out the mechanism of the open natural circulation behaviors. The influence factors, such as the heating power, the inlet subcooled and the level of cooling tank on the flow characteristics of the system were examined. It was shown that within the scope of the experimental conditions, there are five flow types: single-phase stable flow, flash and geyser coexisting unstable flow, flash stable flow, flash unstable flow, and flash and boiling coexisting unstable flow. The geyser flow in flash and geyser coexisting unstable flow is different from classic geysers flow. The flow oscillation period and amplitude of the former are more regular, is a newly discovered flow pattern. By drawing the flow instability boundary diagram and sorting out the flow types, it is found that the two-phase unstable flow is mainly characterized by boiling and flash, which determine the behavior of open natural circulation respectively or jointly. Moreover, compared with full liquid level system, non-full liquid level system is more prone to boiling phenomenon, and the range of heat flux density and undercooling degree corresponding to unstable flow is larger.

The performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater was measured with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, outdoor temperature, compressor frequency, EEV opening, and water mass flow rate. The optimum refrigerant charge amount of the $CO_2$ system was 1800 g. At water mass flow rates of 75, 85, and 95 kg/h, the water heating temperatures were 74, 67, and $62^{\circ}C$ and COPs were 2.6, 2.8, and 3.0, respectively. Besides, the compressor frequency and water mass flow rate were adjusted to maintain the water heating temperature at $60^{\circ}C$ with the decrease of outdoor temperature. As the outdoor temperature decreased by $5^{\circ}C$, the compressor frequency increased beyond 60 Hz and the water mass flow rate decreased by 16.7%.

The cross-flow turbine is one of the most famous and widely used hydraulic power systems for a long time. The cross-flow turbine is especially popular in many countries and remote regions where off-grided because of its many benefits such as low cost, high efficiency at low head, simple structure, and easy maintenance. However, most modern turbines, including the cross-flow turbine, are unsuitable for the ultra-low head situation, known as less than 3m water head or zero head with over 0.5m/s flow velocity. In this study, we demonstrated a 20kW class inverted-type cross-flow turbine's performance. First, we reevaluated our previous studies and introduced how to design the inverted-type cross-flow turbine. Secondly, we fabricated the 20kW class inverted-type cross-flow turbine for the performance test. And then, we designed a testbed and installed the turbine system in the demonstration facility. In the end, we compare the demonstration with its previous CFD results. The comparing result shows that both CFD and real model fitted on guide vane angle at 10 degrees. At the demonstration, we achieved 42% turbine efficiency at runner speed 125 RPM.

Research into natural refrigerants that use CO₂, instead of chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons, has increased due to the environmental problems caused by ozone depletion. CO₂ refrigerants are more environmentally friendly than conventional refrigerants because they have better latent heat of evaporation and heat transfer efficiency properties. However, they have very low critical temperatures and require high design pressures; therefore, pressure control valves, which reduce the pressure of the CO₂ refrigerant to a safe level and apply it to the refrigerant air conditioning system, are necessary to secure stability against high pressure. In the present study, we evaluated the flow characteristics and valve performance of the pressure control valve using a CO₂ refrigerant by measuring the pressure, velocity, and flow coefficient. In addition, we examined the applied forces caused by the internal pressure from the highly pressurized CO₂ refrigerant and required thrust characteristics.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal condition of the Syngas production by reforming of fuel using plasmatron. Plasma was generated by air and arc discharge. The effects of applied steam, $CO_2$ or Ni-catalyst on fuel conversion, as well as hydrogen yield and $H_2$/CO ratio were studied. When the variations of $O_2$/fuel ratio, $H_2O$/fuel flow ratio and $CO_2$/fuel flow ratio were $0.94{\sim}1.48$, $4.3{\sim}10$ and $0.8{\sim}3.05$, respectively. Under the condition mentioned above, result of $H_2O$/fuel flow ratio was maximum $H_2$ concentration, or $28.2{\sim}31.6%$, and result of $H_2O$/fuel flow ratio with catalyst was minimum CO concentration or $6.6{\sim}7.1%$. and $H_2$/CO ratio were $3.89{\sim}4.86$.

Turbulent flow-induced vibrations generate the structural fatigue and noise problems. In this paper, using Corcos, Smol' yakov-Tkachenko, Ffowcs Williams and Chase models, the input power generated by distributed fluid force is predicted for power flow analysis (PFA) of turbulent flow-induced vibration. Additionally, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to raise the calculation efficiency PFA results obtained are compared with the classical modal solutions for verifications. Analytic results using the fluid models show good agreements with those of modal analysis, respectively.
