In this paper, an analysis on exergy efficiency of high-efficiency R717 OTEC power system for the efficiency and pressure drop in main components were investigated theoretically in order to optimize the design for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include turbine and pump efficiency, and pressure drop in a condenser and evaporator, respectively. As the turbine efficiency of R717 OTEC power system increases, the exergy efficiency of this system increases. But pressure drop in the evaporator of R717 OTEC power system increases, the exergy efficiency of this system decreases, respectively. And, in case of exergy efficiency of this OTEC system, the turbine efficiency and pressure drop in a condenser on R717 OTEC power system is the largest and the lowest among operation parameters, respectively.

In the development of very high head pumped storage projects, one of the critical problems is the strength of pumpturbine runners. Data obtained by stress measurements of high head pump-turbine runners indicated that dynamic stress due to the vibration of runner might be detrimental, possibly to cause fatigue failure, if the runner were designed without proper consideration on its dynamic behaviour. Numerous field stress measurements of runners and model tests conducted with hydrodynamic similarity revealed that the hydraulic excitation force developed by the interference of rotating runner blades with guide vane wakes sometimes would induce such heavy vibration of runner. Theoretical and experimental investigations on both the hydraulic excitation force and the natural frequencies of runner have been conducted to explore this forced vibration problem.

An applying Thermodynamic method for the purpose of measuring hydraulic efficiency of pump-motor system, based on IEC60041 code, is not easy to adopt at field test. Even though there were splendid development in measuring technic in discharge measuring through the hydraulic machina lots of unsolved problems concerned in flow-rate are still remain in measuring hydraulic efficiency in hydraulic machine. The key point in measuring hydraulic efficiency is to measure exact flow-rate. So, Thermodynamic methode provides a good solution. This methode measures hydraulic efficiency by detecting the difference of temperature and pressure between the hydraulic process of machine, without measuring flow-rate of pump or turbine. By measuring temperature in mk level and absolute pressure in pascal, we can get a difference of thermodynamic specific energy in Moliere chart before and after of hydraulic process, md that difference is equal to hydraulic loses. Following the standard in proceeding Thermodynamic methode, I hope these trial and records make others be familiar to the thermal methode and make it easer to beginner for trial.

A wind power heat generation system that converts wind power directly to heat instead of electric power is considered in this study. The system consists of a wind turbine part and a heat generation part. The heat generation part is materialized by a hydraulic system including a hydraulic pump, a flow control valve, a hydraulic oil tank, etc. The flow control valve primarily converts hydraulic energy generated in the pump to heat energy. It should have a function of overspeed protection under excessive wind speeds. In this study, a novel flow control valve design is proposed for excellent flow control characteristics under excessive pump driving torque (excessive wind speed). The performance of the suggested valve is analyzed using numerical simulation.

Electric pump system is new technology for next generation propulsion unit. The system has simple structure which dose not need gas generator, injector and turbine and might better pump for low cost and low payload rocket. Therefore, this paper suggests conceptual design of electric-pump Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) which has 50 kW & 50,000 RPM for rocket. To satisfy the system's requirement, electromagnetic analysis is conducted for suitable inner and outer diameter of stator and rotor which uses 4000 Gauss cylinder magnet and Inconel 718 can to fix whole rotor. Futhermore, to confirm rotational vibration, rotordynamics analysis is conducted. By this analysis, Campbell diagram is printed. From the diagram, natural frequency could be determined for the only motor and dynamo meter test bench.

This research dealt with performance characteristics of OTEC system applying an ejector and additional pump. Each system using five kinds of working fluids was analyzed, and primary parameters with respect to entrainment ratio were examined: Turbine gross power, evaporation capacity, pump work, efficiency and volume flow ratio. The primary results were as following. The efficiency of ejector-pump OTEC system was dependent on entrainment of the ejector. The degree of efficiency change was different from applied working fluid, and amount of pump work was turned out to be primary factor affected system efficiency. Meanwhile, optimized entrainment ratio was different from applied working fluid since their different vapor density. System efficiency at optimized entrainmet ratio of each working fluid was around 5%, showing minor difference each other.

In this paper, the cycle performance analysis for condensation and evaporation capacity, total work and efficiency of ocean thermal energy conversion power system using R744 ($CO_2$) is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include superheating and subcooling degree, evaporation and condensation temperature, pump and turbine efficiency. The main results were summarized as follows : The evaporation capacity of R744 increases with superheating and subcooling degree, but decreases with the increasing condensation temperature. The total work increases with superheating and subcooling degree of R744, but decreases with the increasing evaporating temperature. And, the efficiency increases with subcooling and superheating degree, but decreases with the increasing condensation temperature. Therefore, superheating and subcooling degree, evaporation and condensation temperature and pump and turbine efficiency of R744 OTEC power system have an effect on the evaporation and condensation capacity, total work and efficiency of this system. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the OTEC power cycle using R744.

Critical speed of high thrust liquid rocket engine turbopump is obtained through a rotordynamic analysis and a unloaded turbopump test is peformed for validation of the numerical model. The first critical speed predicted by the numerical analysis is correlated well with the test result for the bearing unloaded rotor condition only considering mass unbalance load. Using the previous rotordynamic model, critical speed variation is estimated as a function of varied bearing stiffness due to pump and turbine radial loads with relative angle difference. From the numerical analysis, it is found that the relative angle difference of pump and turbine radial loads greatly affects the critical speed. However, additional axial load reduces the effect derived from the relative angle difference of radial loads.
