In this paper, we identify the noise source and the path of a chiller. This chiller is newly developed for R-l34a refrigerant and 250 RT cooling capacity. The measured overall SPL of the developed turbo-chiller is about 100 dBA. Due to the high rotating speed of the centrifugal impeller, the nun noise source of the chiller is the blade passing frequency and its higher harmonics of the centrifugal impeller. This generated soundpropagates through the duct, and then transmits and radiates to the outer field. From the experiment, it is found that the high frequency noise is mostlytransmitted and radiated through the elbow duct, but the low frequency noise is transmitted and vadiated through the condenser wall. Therefore applying the absorbing material is an effective way of reducing the high and low frequency noise simultaneously. Measurement results show that the application of the sound absorbing material to the elbow duct reduced the overall sound pressure level by 4 dB compared to the 9 dBA reduction for the case of full enclosure. In order to control the generated noise, a dissipativetype silencer is also designed and tested. The silencer reduced the radiated noise about 7.5 dBA.

An experimental study is conducted for unsteady wet steam flow in a four-stage low-pressure test steam turbine. The measurements are carried out at outlets of the last two stages by using a newly developed fast response aerodynamic probe. This FRAP-HTH probe (Fast Response Aerodynamic Probe - High Temperature Heated) has a miniature high-power cartridge heater with an active control system to heat the probe tip, allowing it to be applied to wet steam measurements. The phase-locked average results obtained with a sampling frequency of 200 kHz clarify the flow characteristics, such as the blade wakes and secondary vortexes, downstream from the individual rotational blades in the wet steam environment.

Here is represented a vortex panel method to evaluate the performance characteristics of the 2-dimensional turbomachinery with circular arc blades or logarithmic blades. The present method is characterized by distributing small consecutive panels of linearly varing vortex strength satisfying boundary condition at control points and Kutta condition at trailing edge. To confirm the reliability of the present method, experimental result of a 2-D pump impeller of six circular arc blades is compared with the calculated one. As an application of the present method, figures are presented in series showing velocity and pressure distribution between blades.

Design and developments of a propeller fan for a cooling tower have been accomplished by both numerical prediction of performance and experimental validation with a wind tunnel, Main interest lies on blade geometry of a fan for optimal design of aerodynamic performance. The present methodology for numerical estimation is commercial program, Fine/Turbo, which gives us engineering information such as flow details near the blades and flow rate of it. The numerical results are compared with precise experimental output and show good agreement. Also new proposed model of a blade with the program show improved performance relative to present running model in market.

Numerical analysis and its inverse design process of 2nd stage of JT8D aircraft engine is described. One of the most important factors that affect the performante of turbomachine is secondary flow in the blade passage, so that the performance of turbomachine can be improved by controlling secondary flow. In this paper, as a method to control secondary flow, commercial inverse design program, TurboDesign is used. Meridional derivative of angular momentum is selected as a parameter to control blade leading in this program, To validate inverse designed model, computational analysis is applied which includes rotor-stator-interaction. In this paper, CFB results of both original and inverse designed model are compared to examine how much the performance improves without reduction of work output.

Recently, turbomachine blades are becoming larger and more flexible, it is necessary to calculate natural frequencies of a rotating blades for avoiding resonance. This problem is complicated by the fact that blades are tapered, twisted and curved. To keep with this demands, the designer must rely on more exact methods of calculation. In this paper, natural frequencies of a single straight or curved blade with variable R.P.M. are calculated by a stiffness matrix method. Results of investigation on the correspondence between the calculated and other values of the literature are described. The calculated values are agree with the other values but with a small error. Furthermore, the influence of Coriolis force on the natural frequency for rotating, curved turbo blades is described.

This study has investigated numerically and experimentally the flow characteristic of air-cooling fan for transmission oil cooler in the large-size diesel engine. Impellers of cooler were composed of eight normal-scale and eight small-scale blades in the zig-zag pattern. In order to increase the discharge pressure of cooling fan, turbo type of fan blade is proposed in the impeller for transmission oil cooler. The fluidic performance of cooling fan has been estimated numerically by using the commercial code and experimentally carried out with reference on AMCA Standard 210-99. As a result, it is confirmed that the numerical result for performance curve is in good agreement with experimental data.

The aim of this study was to find the initial design value of turbine blade for electrical type turbocompound system generating 10 kW. Turbocompound is one of the waste heat recovery system applying to internal combustion engine to recover exhaust gas energy that was about 30 % of total input energy. To design the turbine blade, 1-D mean line flow model was used. Exhaust gas temperature, pressure, flow rate and turbine rotating speed was fixed as primary boundary conditions. The velocity triangles was defined and used to determine the rotor inlet radius and width, the rotor outlet radius at shroud and radius at hub, the rotor flow angles and the number of blades.

터보 분자 펌프는 수 만 rpm의 고속으로 회전하여 분자 유동 영역에서 효율적으로 기체를 배기하는 특성을 가지고 있지만 실제 플라즈마 공정에서는 챔버의 압력이 수 mTorr이상이므로 점성 유동 영역이나 전이 유동 영역에 해당한다. 따라서 터보 분자 펌프의 rotor, blade, stator등의 설계가 점성 유동 영역에서 반응성 가스 및 플라즈마 특성에 의해서 어떤 영향을 받는지 수치 모델을 통하여 해석을 시도하였다.

We are working on improving the performance by applying the three-dimensional design element to the rotor blades of high pressure supersonic impulse turbine that drives turbo pump of liquid rocket engine. In this paper, based on the shape of a rotor blade of a turbopump turbine designed in the past, a three-dimensional shape is applied to a rotor blade through a stacking line change such as sweep and dihedral. After performing the flow analysis, the changes in the turbine performance characteristics for each design element were carefully examined and the results were summarized.
