The turbine system composed of a nozzle and a rotor is used to drive turbopumps while gas passes through the nozzle, potential energy is converted to kinematic energy, which forces the rotor blades to spin. In this study, an aerodynamic design of a turbine system is investigated using compressible fluid dynamic theories with some pre-determined design requirements (i.e.,pressure ratio, rotational speed, required power etc.) obtained from a liquid rocket engine (L.R.E.) system design. For simplicity of a turbine system, impulse-type rotor blades for open type L.R.E. have been chosen. Usually, the open-type turbine system requires low mass flow rate compared to the close-type system. In this study, a partial admission nozzle is adopted to maximize the efficiency of the close-type turbine system. A design methodology of the a turbine system has been introduced. Especially, a partial admission nozzle has been designed by means of simple empirical correlations between efficiency and configuration of the nozzle. Finally, a turbine system design for a 10 ton thrust level of L.R.E is presented.

A study has been conducted to observe the slot film cooling effect on a convergent nozzle wall. The slot film cooling is used to protect the nozzle wall from the hot combusted gas by the coolant injected from the slot around the inner wall of the nozzle. The film cooling effectiveness and the heat transfer to the nozzle wall are influenced significantly by the blowing ratio of the coolant to the main flow and those are also influenced by the shape of the slot and the flow acceleration in the nozzle. In the present study, the heat transfer for the various blowing ratios has been performed by the experimental method and the results are compared with the results computed by the empirical formula. The numerical method has been conducted to compare the film cooling effectiveness of the convergent nozzle with that of the cylinder. For the relatively low blowing ratio, the cooling effectiveness increases sharply as the blowing ratio increases, and the increasing rate slows down for the high blowing ratio.

An ejector is a kind of pump which is using pressure energy of high pressure fluid. This study aims to investigate performance influencing according to change the ejector mixing section shape using CFD simulation by Finite Volume Method. Optimum conditions were suggested 3 kind of variable such as nozzle diameter, nozzle length, distance from nozzle tip to the diffuser inlet. The results, It was confirmed that the diameter of the nozzle was the greatest effect in performance of the ejector. The diameter of the nozzle get smaller, mixing ratio was increased. On the other hand, nozzle length, distance from nozzle tip to the diffuser inlet had little effect on performance. It was proposed specific Mixing section, Nozzel diameter 23.8mm using the Artificial Neural Network.

It is well known that there are three mechanisms in the nozzle surface regression, namely ablation, mechanical erosion and chemical corrosion. There are Analogies among these three mechanisms. In order to compare the order of the magnitude of these mechanism, the analogy was adapted and the Mach number of the gas flow was expressed by the nozzle shape(location).

A thermal resistance estimation of carbon/carbon composites used as the nozzle throat insert of solid rocket motor was performed using TPEM motor. Three types of TPEM motor and two types of propellant were employed. The ablation rate is higher for the higher chamber pressure and also higher for the higher concentration of oxidizing species in combustion gas, but it is lower for the higher material density.

Geometry change of burner nozzle has influence on fuel atomizing and combustion characteristics. NOx reduction technologies can be divided into two method; Before combustion method(NOx treatment of fuel) and After combustion method(NOx treatment of flue gas). In this study, experiments are carried out using difference nozzle and combustion condition change to reduce NOx in heavy oil fired thermal utility boiler. These methods have advantage like easy application and low installation cost. By this method NOx can be reduced by 18% and maintain CO emission level.

Ultrafine calcim carbonate powders with the size of 0.05~0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the calcite phase were prepared by the nozzle spouting method which was conducted by spouting calcium hydroxide slurry in reactor filled with CO2 gas. Well dispersed ultra-fine particles were synthesized in condition of high Ca(OH)2 concentration of the slurry ( 0.5wt%) synthesized calcium carbonate powder was shown the large particle size with agglo-meration.

A rapid expansion of moist air of condensible gas through a supersonic nozzle gives rise to condensation of nonequilibrium and equilibrium processes. Because most of the effects of condensation on the flow are caused by process of nonequilibrium condensation, it is very important to know the onset. condition of nonequilibrium condensation. In the present study, the relation between the initial relative stagnation humidity and the onset Mach number, for the case of the similarity law suggested by Zierep and Lin. Furthermore, the present theoretical result number is compared with the experimental, numerical and other results.

The influence on a stability of thermal plasma has been investigated in an electrode structure of non-transferred plasma torch. The variations of dynamic characteristic of the arc voltage was analyzed and compared in terms of voltage character and nozzle types for both the step-shaped nozzles and magnetic-approved cylindrical nozzle. From the experimental results, an electrode gap, flow rate of arc gas, and currents are considered as major operational parameters. As conclusion, it was assured that a torch with step-shaped nozzles of magnetic-approved type produce the stable plasma jet.

In the present study, the characteristics of upward bubble flow were experimentally investigated in a liquid bath. An electro-conductivity probe was used to measure local volume fraction and bubble frequency. Since the gas is concentrated at the near nozzle, the flow parameters are high near the nozzle. In general their axial and radial values tended to decrease with increasing distance. For visualization of flow characteristics, a Particle Image Velocimetry (P.I..V) and a thermo-vision camera were used in the present study. The experimental results show that heat transfer from bubble surface to water is largely completed within z=10mm from the nozzle, and then the temperature of bubble surface reaches that of water rapidly. Due to the centrifugal force, the flow was more developed near the wall than at bubble-water plume. Vortex flow in the bottom region was relatively weaker than that in the upper region.
