The turbopump inducer cavitation is very important for the success of a Liquid rocket engine. In this study the performance test and cavitation performance test were carried out at various rotational speed with two different diameter inducers. The rotational speed were varied 4000, 6000, 8000 rpm and the variation to the diameter of an inducer were taken as design size and 2 times enlarged size. The major results of the present study were as follows. 1. The hydraulic performance results showed that the similarity was met over the entire test range of the present study. 2. The blade thickness effect was examined and showed that the increased blade thickness resulted in decreased efficiency and worse cavitation performance for large tip clearance. 3. The cavitation performance test results showed that the breakdown NPSH increases as the flow coefficient and does not affected by the rotational speed.

The present study investigated the effect of relative position of the blade on blade surface heat transfer. The experiments were conducted in a low speed wind tunnel with a stationary annular turbine cascade. The test section has a single turbine stage composed of sixteen guide vanes and blades. The chord length of the blade is 150 mm and the mean tip clearance of the blade is $2.5\%$ of the blade chord. The Reynolds number based on blade inlet velocity and chord length is $1.5{\times}105$ and mean turbulence intensity is about $3\%$. To investigate the effect of relative position of blade, the blade at six different positions in a pitch was examined. For the detailed mass transfer measurements, a naphthalene sublimation technique was used. In general, complex heat transfer characteristics are observed on the blade surface due to various flow characteristics, such as a laminar flow separation, relaminarization, flow acceleration, transition to turbulence and tip leakage vortices. The results show that the blade relative position affects those heat transfer characteristics because the distributions of incoming flow velocity and turbulence intensity are changed. Especially, the heat transfer pattern on the near-tip region is significantly affected by the relative position of the blade because the effect of tip leakage vortex is strongly dependent on the blade position. On the pressure side, the effect of blade position is not so significant as on the suction side surface although the position and the size of the separation bubble are changed.

The turbopump inducer cavitation is very important for the success of a liquid rocket engine. In this study, the performance test and cavitation performance test were carried out at various rotational speeds with two inducers of different diameter. The rotational speed was varied by 4000, 6000, and 8000 rpm, and the size effect was tested for the normal inducer and twice-enlarged one. The hydraulic performance results showed that the similarity was satisfied over the entire test range of the present study. The blade thickness effect was examined and showed that the increased blade thickness resulted in decreased efficiency and worse cavitation performance for the large tip clearance. The cavitation performance test results showed that the breakdown NPSH increased as the flow coefficient, and was not affected by the rotational speed.

초음속 터빈에서는 동익 유로에서의 질식 가능성을 줄이며, 설계 압력비를 구현할 수 있도록 한다. 하지만 동익 오버랩을 적용하면, 펌핑손실, 확산손실 등의 추가적인 손실이 동반된다. 따라서 터빈성능을 극대화하기 위한 최적 오버랩 형상을 찾기 위해 근사최적화 기법을 적용하였다. 설계변수는 동익 오버랩의 형상변수이다. 최적설계 결과, 기준모델 대비 팁 누설유량은 약 50% 감소하였으며, 정효율은 약 4% 증가하였다. 팁 오버랩 크기가 성능에 미치는 영향이 크게 나타난 반면, 허브 오버랩 크기가 성능에 미치는 영향은 작게 나타났다.

This paper presents the characteristics of internal clearances for the interstage of blades and shaft gland seals on the steam turbine which are installed in tandem compound. Internal clearances was changed when the rotor turned in the cylindrical sleeve bearing due to the generation of oil film wedge. This presented concern is very useful to prevent the rubbing damage of seal edge between the fixed and moving parts in steam turbine due to the misalignment at the rotating and stationary parts. This method is applied for the unbalanced clearances distribution to the left and right sides in the turbine casing. A considerable amount of unbalanced clearances distribution trend is determined according to the rotating speed of rotor, size and type of proceeding bearing, oil viscosity, surface roughness of bearing and shaft, oil temperature, oil pressure and bearing load.

In the very low specific speed range ($n_s=0.24$ < 0.25, non-dimensional), the efficiency of centrifugal pump designed by a conventional method is very low in common. Therefore, positive-displacement pumps have long been used widely. Recently, since the centrifugal pumps are becoming higher in rotational speed and smaller in size, there expects to develop a new centrifugal pump with a high performance to replace the positive-displacement pumps. The purpose of this study is to investigate the internal flow characteristics of a very low specific speed centrifugal pump and to examine the effect of internal flow pattern on pump performance. The results show that the theoretical head definition of semi-open impeller should be revised by the consideration of high slip factor in the semi-open impeller, and the leakage flow through the tip clearance results in a large effect on the impeller internal flow. Strong reverse flow at the outlet of semi-open impeller reduces the absolute tangential velocity considerably, and the decreased absolute tangential velocity increasese the slip factor with the reduction of theoretical head.

축류팬은 여러 산업분야에서 사용되며, 환기 및 제연을 목적으로 사용하는 송풍기의 핵심 요소이다. 유체 운동을 이용하는 축류팬의 연구는 공력성능에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구 대상은 100마력의 송풍기에 사용되는 축류팬이며, 직경 1800 mm의 대형 송풍기이다. 송풍기의 축류팬은 블레이드, 허브, 허브 캡, 보스로 구성되어 있으며, 블레이드와 허브는 중요한 구성부품이다. 공력성능에 많은 영향을 미치는 블레이드에 대한 설계는 공력성능 예측 프로그램을 이용해 3차원 점 데이터를 추출하여 이를 3D 모델링 형상을 생성하게 된다. 중요 구성부품이 절삭가공을 이용해 가공하게 되면 제품의 수정이 용이하다. 하지만, 블레이드와 허브는 다이캐스팅이나 중력주조를 통해 제작하는 환경으로 인해 금형 제작 전에 구조안전에 대한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 축류팬 정격운전속도와 그 이상의 운전속도에서 주요 구성부품에 대한 구조안전성에 대한 특성과 취약부위에 대한 해석결과는 최대응력과 안전계수를 통해 검증하고 설계시 반영된 여유간극은 블레이드의 회전과 다른 부품과의 간섭 여부를 확인하기 위해 변위 결과를 도출하여 축류팬의 구조안전성에 대해 검증하고자 한다.
