The vortex tube is a simple device for separating a compressed fluid stream into two flows of high and low temperature without any chemical reactions. Recently, vortex tube is widely used to local cooler of industrial equipments and air conditioner for special purpose. The phenomena of energy separation through the vortex tube were investigated to see the effects of cold flow inlet-outlet ratios and partial admission rates on the energy separation experimentally. The experiment was carried out with various cold flow inlet-outlet ratios from 0.28 to 10.56 and partial admission rates from 0.176 to 0.956 by varying input pressure and cold air flow ratio. To find best use in a given cold flow inlet-outlet ratio and partial admission rate, the maximum temperature difference of cold air was presented. The experimental results were indicated that there are an optimum range of cold flow inlet-outlet ratio for each partial admission rate and available partial admission rate.

부분분사비에 따른 초음속 충동형 터빈 성능변화에 대하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 개방형액체로켓 엔진의 터보펌프에 사용되는 터빈을 이용하였으며 부분분사비 조절을 위해 실험용 노즐블럭을 설계/제작하였다. 실험에 사용된 터빈은 축대칭 수축-확산형 노즐을 갖고 있으며 작동노즐의 개수조절을 통해 부분분사비를 변화시켰다. 작동유체는 고압공기를 사용하였다. 실험결과 초음속 충동형 축류터빈은 부분분사비 변화에 따른 성능변화가 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

The phenomena of energy separation through the vortex tube was investigated experimentally, to see the effect of nozzle area ratio and partial admission rate on the energy separation and cooling capacity. The experiment was tarried out with various nozzle area ratios from 0.031 to 0.232 and partial admission rate from 0.176 to 0.956 by varying input pressure($0.2{\si\m}0.5$ MPa) and cold air mass fraction($y=0.1{\sim}1.0$). From the experimental result, we found the optimum nozzle area ratio and the effective partial admission rate for the available use and best cooling performance in given operation condition. While the maximum drop of cold air temperature was observed at around y=0.3 and $S_n=0.155$, the maximum cooling capacity was observed at around y=0.6 and $S_n=0.094$.

A steam turbine is one of propulsion systems of a LNG carrier, which consists of high pressure (HP) and low pressure (LP) turbines. In order to obtain high power, each one has the form of a multi-stage turbine. Especially, the first stage of a HP turbine is Curtis stage and uses partial admission considering the turbine efficiency. The performance of a HP turbine can be predicted by a mean-line analysis method, because the relatively large value of hub-tip ratio makes the three-dimensional losses small. In this study, a performance analysis method is developed for a multi-stage HP turbine using Chen's loss model developed for the transonic steam turbines. To consider the feature of partial admission, different partial admission models are reviewed, This analysis method can be used in partial load conditions as well as full load condition. The calculation results are also compared with the CFD results about some simple cases to check the accuracy of the program. Performance of two HP turbine models are calculated, and the calculation results are compared with the designed data. The comparison shows the qualitative performance analysis result.

The organic Rankine cycle has been widely used to convert the renewable energy such as the solar energy, the geothermal energy, or the waste energy etc., to the electric power. Some previous studies focused to find what kind of refrigerant would be a best working fluid for the organic Rankine cycle. In this study, R245fa was chosen to the working fluid, and the cycle analysis was conducted for the output power of 30kW or less. In addition, properties (temperature, pressure, entropy, and enthalpy etc.) of the working fluid on the cycle were predicted when the turbine output power was controlled by adjusting the mass flowrate. The configuration of the turbine was a radial-type and the supersonic nozzles were applied as the stator. So, the turbine was operated in partial admission. The turbine efficiency and the optimum velocity ratio were considered in the cycle analysis for the low partial admission rate. The computed results show that the system efficiency is affected by the partial admission rate more than the temperature of the evaporator.

An experimental study is conducted to investigate flow characteristics on a small axial-type turbine which is applied as the rotating part of air tools. It operates in a partial admission due to consumption restriction of the high pressure air. In this operating condition, it is necessary to understand flow characteristics for obtaining the high specific output power. Tested turbine consists of two stages and the mean radius of flow passage is less than 10mm. A 6 bar pressure air is used to operate the turbine. The experimental results show that flow angles depend on the measuring location along the circumferential direction, but its discrepancy is alleviated along the axial direction. Absolute flow velocities show three times difference according to the measuring location at the exit of the first rotor due to the partial admission, but they show similar value at the exit of the second rotor by the velocity diffusion. From the measured flow angles and velocities, a ratio of output power obtained by the first and second rotor is estimated. It shows that the output power obtained by the second rotor is about $11\%$ to that by the first rotor at 60,000 RPM. It is effective therefore to improve the first rotor for increasing the turbine output power.

A turbopump system composed of two pumps and one turbine is considered. The turbine composed of a nozzle and a rotor is used to drive the pumps while gas passes through the nozzle and potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which forces the rotor blades to spin. In this study, an aerodynamic design of turbine system is investigated with some pre-determined design requirements (i.e., pressure ratio, rotational speed, required power, etc.) following Liquid Rocket Engine (L.R.E.) system specifications. For simplicity of 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 close-type system. In this study, a partial admission nozzle is adopted to maximize the efficiency of the open-type turbine system. A design methodology of turbine system was introduced. Especially, partial admission nozzle was designed by means of simple empirical correlations between efficiency and configuration of the nozzle. Finally, a turbine system design is presented for a 10 ton thrust level of L.R.E.

초임계 이산화탄소 발전사이클의 다양한 특성을 분석하기 위하여 Sub-kWe급의 소형 실험장치를 설계, 제작하였으며, 터보발전기를 개발하였다. 초임계 이산화탄소 발전용 터빈에서는 팽창비가 작고, 유량이 작기 때문에 터보발전기의 회전수가 높아지게 되고, 이에 따라 회전 부품의 선정, 터빈 공력설계, 축력 및 회전체 동역학 설계가 어려워지게 된다. 이에 터보발전기의 회전수를 줄이기 위하여 노즐의 여러 채널 중 1개의 노즐만 사용하는 부분유입 방법을 세계 최초로 초임계 이산화탄소 발전용 터보발전기에 적용하였으며, 회전체의 진동을 측정하여 부분유입 노즐을 적용함에도 회전체 안정성은 허용 범위내에 있음을 확인하였다.

액체로켓용 터보펌프시스템의 주요한 구성품의 하나로서 고압 터보펌프의 구동에 사용되는 터빈시스템 설계에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 터빈시스템은 가스발생기에서 발생된 고온/ 고압의 연소가스의 운동에너지를 펌프를 구동시킬 수 있는 기계적 에너지로 전환하는데, 노즐을 통해 연소가스의 운동 에너지를 증가시켜 펌프와 동일 축으로 연결된 동익을 회전시킨다. 액체로켓엔진의 시스템설계의 결과로 주어지는 압력비, 일량, 입구온도, 입구압력 등의 요구조건하에, 이를 만족시키는 터빈 시스템(노즐 및 동익)의 설계연구가 수행되었다. 터빈시스템은 입/ 출구 압력비에 따라서 개방형(Open Type)과 밀폐형(Closed Type)으로 나눌 수 있는데, 개방형의 경우 높은 압력비와 소량의 유량을 필요로 하며 충격형(Impulse Type)의 동익이 사용되며, 낮은 압력비와 다량의 유량을 필요로 하는 밀폐형의 경우 반동형(Reaction Type)의 동익이 사용된다. 시스템의 단순화 및 효율화를 위해서 본 연구에서는 개방형 터빈시스템이 채택되었으며, 특히 개방형 터빈의 특징인 소량의 유량이 터빈을 구동하므로 효율을 증가시키기 위해서 부분분사노즐(Partial Admission Nozzle)이 채택되었으며, 이의 효율에 미치는 영향이 연구되었다. 공기역학적 이론과 실험에 근거한 이론이 사용되었으며, 차후에 항공우주연구원에서 터빈 상사시험을 통하여 본 연구에 적용된 설계를 검증하고자 한다.
