The vaneless diffusers are widely used in industrial centrifugal compressors which are required to operate within a wide flow range. When very high pressure gases are handled by centrifugal compressor. rotating stall is a serious problem because of the occurance of large aerodynamic exciting forces. Rotating stall mostly often occurs in the impellers but it can occur in vaneless diffusers as well. In this experimental study, the rotating stall in vaneless diffuser with radial type centrifugal impeller was measured by changing the flow rate with I-type, X-type hotwire. As the result, it was cleared which type of rotating stall of the impeller stall would occur and how many stall cells would appear relating with the flow rate. As the flow rate reduced, the propagation speed of rotating stall was reduced. But the stall cell number unchanged with respect to the flow rate.

글라스 라이닝 임펠러는 강산을 포함한 대부분의 화학물질들에 대해 내부식성이 있고, 또한 평활하고 눌어붙지 않는 표면을 가지며 세정이 용이하고 프로세스에 불순물들을 유입하지 않는 강점을 갖고 있다. 글라스 라이닝 HOMEBASE 임펠러는 저점도 유체에서 고점도 유체까지 폭넓은 점도 범위의 액체를 교반할 수 있도록 개발된 다목적형 대형 교반 임펠러이나, 그중에서도 세포 배양이나 효모의 배양, 맥주 발효 솥 등은 저점도 액의 통기 교반에 많이 사용하며, 특히 공기-수계의 통기성 교반에 많이 적용한다. 구조가 간단하면서도 성능 면에서 경쟁력을 갖는 HOMEBASE 임펠러에 대한 글라스 라이닝은 제작상 임펠러와 샤프트의 접합 면적을 가능한 한 작게 할 수 있도록 상하 분할이 필수적이다. 임펠러의 상하 분할은 혼합 성능에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않지만, 통기 성능을 저하하였다. 본 연구에서는 Glass Lined HOMEBASE 임펠러 형상의 최적화를 위해, 상·하부로 분할된 임펠러 사이의 장착각도차와 임펠러 사이의 간격 및 방해판의 개수가 통기 동력에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 상·하부로 분할된 임펠러 사이의 장착각도차와 간격이 통기를 할 때의 동력 P_g와 통기가 없을 때의 동력 P₀의 비인 P_g/P₀를 저하시킨다는 연구 결과를 통해 Glass Lined HOMEBASE 임펠러 최적 형상과 방해판 조건을 도출하였다.

구형교반조 및 원통교반조에서 paddle 임펠러의 교반소요동력을 넓은 범위의 레이놀즈수 영역에서 측정하였다. 구형교반조는 교반조 높이가 직경과 같고, 구형교반조의 체적과 같은 원통교반조의 겉보기 직경을 이용하여 구형교반조 및 원통교반조 모두에 적용할 수 있는 교반소요동력 상관식을 구했다. 이 상관식은 Nagata 등 및 Hixson 등의 실험결과에도 양호하게 상관되었다. 또한 임계레이놀즈수는 본 상관식에서 얻은 층류영역에서 난류영역으로의 전이에 관한 계수 $C_{tr}$에 잘 상관되었다.

A screw-type centrifugal pump was manufactured to carry primarily solids and its impeller had a wide flow passage. However, there was an effect on the flow passage shape on delay of the choke due to entrained air not being clarified yet. Moreover, because its impeller has a particular shape, only few studies have tried to clarify the pump performance and details of internal flow pattern of that pump. For this reason, we carried out the pump performance experiment under air-water two-phase flow condition with different impeller tip clearances, pump rotational speeds and void fractions by using a small screw-type centrifugal pump designed to acquire basic data. In a general centrifugal pump, it was reported that there was a loss of pump head from single-phase flow to the choke due to air entrainment near the best efficiency point being large. However, the loss near the best efficient point in a screw-type centrifugal pump became less than that in a general centrifugal pump.

교반기에서의 유동 특성은 광범위한 산업 분야에서 매우 유용하다. 일반적으로 교반되는 용기에서의 유동 패턴, 전력 소비 및 혼합 시간은 임펠러의 설계뿐만 아니라 용기 형상 및 내부 구조에 달려 있다. 본 연구에서는 베플 형상과 임펠러의 상호 작용에 의해 생성되는 불안정하고 비정상상태의 복잡한 유동 특성 분석을 ANSYS FLUENT LES 난류 모델을 사용하여 수행하였다. Axial Flow 와 Radial Flow 두 가지 타입의 회전 임펠러와 3가지 베플의 형상 사이의 상호 작용과 영향을 전산유체역학(CFD)으로 예측 비교함으로써 교반 시 임펠러와 베플 주변에서의 유동 특성과 혼합 유동장에서 상대적으로 효율적인 경향을 보이는 설계 모델을 검증할 수 있었다.

The constant air volume flow fan can maintain constant flow rate to the wide range of exit pressure. Therefore, the use of this fan is increasing recently for ventilation of high building. Brushless DC motor is adopted to this fan because that has advantages of compactness and performance. But this type of motor protrude from impeller hub side to fan inlet. The Impeller inlet flow is influenced by size of this obstacle called hub. In this paper, the influence of hub shape on the fan performance characteristics are experimentally and numerically analyzed. CFX 12.0 is used to perform the fan internal flow analysis and numerical results are compared with the experiments. Depending on hub shape, internal loss is generated and the performance and efficiency are reduced. The best performance is occurred around $h/b_1$ = 0.25. The results of this study will be contribute to initial design of constant air volume flow fan development.

It is necessary to design a compressor with high pressure ratio that satisfies the IMO(international maritime organization) NOx emission regulation for the marine diesel engine. Impeller was designed using the modified slip factor with the flow coefficient. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the sensitivity of the compressor performance by the vaned diffuser geometries. The first vaned diffuser type was based on a NACA airfoil, the second was channel diffuser, and the third was conformally transformated configuration of a NACA65(4A10)06 airfoil. The sensitivity of the performance was calculated using a commercial CFD program for three different diffuser geometries. The channel diffuser showed the wide range of operation and higher pressure characteristics, comparing with the others. This is attributed to the flow stability at diffuser. Combined with this results with impeller design, the optimized compressor was designed and verified by the test results.

Operating excitation forces of the linear vibratory system are normally determined by direct measurement techniques using load cells, strain gauges, etc. But, hydraulic forces of the rotating turbomachinery such as centrifugal pumps are exerted on an impeller due to asymmety of the flow by the interaction between pump impeller and volute. So, investigations of wide range of hydraulic designs and geometric deviations are difficult by direct method. This paper presents a hybrid approach for fourier transformed operational excitation forces, which uses pseudo-inverse matrix of the transfer matrix for the system and the measured vibrational data with standard installed pump. The determination of the transfer function matrix is based on a linear rotor/stationary system and steady state harmonic response in finite element analysis. And, vibrational data is collected in both vertical and horizontal directions at inboard and outboard bearing housings. The results of the process may be enhanced by making acceleration measurements at many more locations than there are forces to be determined.

We developed a high-efficiency, wide-operating-range centrifugal blower stage to meet the demand for reduced total energy-consumption in sewage treatment plants. We improved the efficiency of the two-dimensional impeller using a shape optimization tool and one-dimensional performance prediction tool. A limit of the throat deceleration ratio was set to maintain the stall-margin of the impeller. The low solidity vaned diffuser and return channel were designed using a sensitivity analysis with orthogonal arrays and three-dimensional steady flow simulations. The low solidity diffuser was designed in order to improve the performance in the low-flow-rate region. The return channel was designed so that the total pressure loss in the return channel was minimized. Model tests of both the conventional and optimized blower stages were carried out, and the efficiency and operating range of both stages were compared. The optimized blower stage improved in stage efficiency by 3% and in operating range by 5% compared with the conventional blower stage.

Flow pattern of cavitation around a plano-convex foil, whose shape is similar to the inducer impeller of the turbo-pumps in the liquid fuel rocket engine, was observed by using a cryogenic cavitation tunnel of blowdown type for visualization. Working fluids were liquid nitrogen and hot water. The parameter range to be varied was between 20 and 60mm for channel width, 20 and 60mm for foil chord, -1.8 and 13.2 for cavitation number, 3.7 and 19.5m/sec for averaged inlet velocity, $8.5{\times}10^4$ and $1.5{\times}10^6$ for Reynolds number, -8 and $8^{\circ}$ for angle of attack, respectively. Especially at positive angle of attack, namely, convex surface being downstream, the whole cavity or a part of the cavity on the foil surface departs periodically. Periodic cavitation occurs only in case of smaller cavitation size than twice foil chord. Cavitation thickness and length in 20mm wide channel are larger than those in 60mm due to the wall confinement effect. Therefore, periodic cavitation in 60mm wide channel easily occurs than that in 20mm. These results suggest that the periodic cavitation is controlled by not only the hydrodynamic effect of vortex shedding but also the channel wall confinement effect.
