The design of blade is considered of lift-to-drag ratio, structure, a condition of process of manufacture and stable maximum lift coefficient, etc. This study is used the simplified method for design of the aerodynamic blade and aerodynamic analysis used blade element method. This process is programed by delphi-language. The program has any input values such as tip speed ratio, blade length, hub length, a section of shape and max lift-to-drag ratio. The program displays chord length and twist angle by input value and analyzes performance of the blade.

In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out to investigate the influence of jet fan design variables on the performance of a jet fan. In order to achieve an optimum jet fan design and to explain the interactions between the different geometric configurations in the jet fan, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics and the DOE method have been applied. Several geometric variables, i.e., hub-tip ratio, meridional shape, rotor stagger angle, number of rotor-stator blades and stator geometry, were employed to improve the performance of the jet fan. The objective functions are defined as the exit velocity and total efficiency at the operating condition. Based on the results of computational analyses, the performance of the jet fan was significantly improved. The performance degradations when the jet fan is operated in the reverse direction are also discussed.

This paper presents a procedure for the design optimization of a centrifugal compressor. The centrifugal compressor consists of a centrifugal impeller, vaneless diffuser and volute. And, optimization techniques based on the radial basis neural network method are used to optimize the impeller of a centrifugal compressor. The Latin-hypercube sampling of design-of-experiments is used to generate the thirty design points within design spaces. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport turbulence model are discretized by using finite volume approximations and solved on hexahedral grids to evaluate the objective function of the total-to-total pressure ratio. Four variables defining the impeller hub and shroud contours are selected as design variables in this optimization. The results of optimization show that the total-to-total pressure ratio of the optimized shape at the design flow coefficient is enhanced by 2.46% and the total-to-total pressure ratios at the off-design points are also improved significantly by the design optimization.

Seoju is one of the nine weeks of the ancient period, and according to literature records, the construction of Seojuseong Fortress has a long history of 2573. This is the land of Oseongtong-gu, a political and military hub, and flood disasters have frequently led to frequent reconstruction of fortresses. In particular, it is also an important place to show that the function of the fortress is defensive and has a function of preventing floods. This study analyzed the shape of Seojuseong Fortress and the characteristics of urban spaces in the Myeongcheong period through excavation data and literature data.

As consumption of high-quality fruits increases and sales and packaging units become smaller, the demand for automatic fruit grading systems is increasing. Compared to other crops, the quality of fruit is determined by visual characteristics such as shape, color, and scratches, rather than just physical size and weight. Accordingly, this study presents a CNN model that can effectively extract and classify the visual features of fruits and a perceptron that classifies fruits using physical features, and proposes a stacking ensemble model that can effectively combine the classification results of these two neural networks. The experiments with AI Hub public data show that the stacking ensemble model is effective for grading fruits. However, the ensemble model does not always improve the performance of classifying all the fruit grading. So, it is necessary to adapt the model according to the kind of fruit.

This study was performed to develop a high-efficiency submersible nonclogging pump impeller. Toward this end, we simulated the effect of some parameters such as the outlet position of a blade ($h_I$), outlet width of a blade ($b_2$), and hub profile on the pump efficiency by using the commercial codes ANSYS CFX and BladeGen. The results showed that the pump efficiency was proportional up to $h_I$= 38 mm and $b_2$= 55 mm. It remained constant over these values. However, the head and shaft power were proportional to $h_I$ and $b_2$ in the simulated ranges. The effects of hub profile changes on the pump efficiency were relatively small compared to those of the other parameters.

A horizontal dust collector is used in a large wind-volume grain dryer. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to analyze the flow characteristics inside the dust collector, including the effects of wear on the conical hub on the dust collection performance. Recently, a horizontal cyclone dust collector was developed with a conical hub and fixed vanes at the inlet of the dust collector to generate swirl flow to separate foreign matter from the air. The dust collector is relatively small in size and easy to install, and it has a relatively low back pressure, which does not require any additional power. However, there are problems with a back pressure problem and dust deposition that are caused by the shape of the horizontal dust collector. To solve these problems, the flow characteristics were studied with internal shapes of the dust collector using three-dimensional flow analysis.

In this paper, experimental and numerical study on a combined sheet metal forming and plate forging of a seal part of a passenger car's hub bearing is conducted to develop the new process of which target is to remove machining process by plate forging and to achieve near-net shape manufacturing. The previous process of a sheet metal forming inevitably needed a machining process for making stepped sheet after conventional sheet metal forming in a progressive way. The stepped sheet is intended to be formed by plate forging in this study. Through the systematic way of developing the combined forming process using solid elements based-elastoplastic finite element method (FEM), several conceptual designs are made and an optimized process design in terms of geometric dimensioning and tolerance of straightness of the thin part is found, which is exposed to bending in metal forming of axisymmetric part. The predicted straightness measured by the slope angle of the tilted thin region is compared with the experimental straightness, showing that they are in a good agreement with each other. Through this study, a systematic approach to optimal process design, based on elastoplastic FEM with solid elements, is established, which will contribute to innovating the conventional small-scaled sheet metal forming processes which can be dealt with by solid elements.

In this paper, a high-performance and low-noise centrifugal fan is developed for cooling automotive seats which provide a driver with pleasant driving environment. First, the flow characteristics of the existing fan unit was analyzed using a fan performance tester and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. The analysis of the predicted flow field indicated vortex flow near the tip of fan hub and stagnation flow on the top of fan hub. Two design points are devised to reduce the vortex flow and the stagnation flow observed in the existing fan unit. First, the cut-off clearance which is the minimum distance between the fan blade and the fan housing is increased to reduce the vortex strength and, as a result, to reduce the overall sound pressure level. Second, the hub shape is more modified to eliminate the stagnation flow. The validity of proposed design is confirmed through the numerical analysis. Finally, a prototype is manufactured with a basis on the numerical analysis result and its improved flow and noise performances are confirmed through the P-Q curves measured by using the Fan Tester and the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) levels measured in the anechoic chamber.

In a supersonic turbine, A rotor overlap technique reduced the chance of chocking in the rotor passage, and made the design pressure ratio satisfied. However, the technique also made additional losses, like a pumping loss, expansion loss, etc. Therefore, an approximate optimization technique was appled to find the optimal shape of overlap which maximizes the improvement of the turbine performance. The design variables were shape factors of a rotor overlap. An optimal design for rotor overlap reduces leakage mass flow rate at tip clearance by about 50% and increases about 4% of total-static efficiency compared with the base model. It was found that the most effective design variable is the tip overlap and that the hub overlap size is the lowest.
