This paper deals with performance characteristics and efficiencies of Pelton turbine can be applied as one of ERDs (Energy Recovery Devices) of PRO (Pressure Retarded Osmosis) system for desalination. The objective of this study is experimentally estimating the performance of micro-scale Pelton turbine for PRO pilot plant. Especially the performance characteristics with variations of jet nozzle diameter of Pelton turbine are discussed in detail. In order to do this, lab scale test rig of Pelton turbine was made for performance test, which includes water tank, Pelton wheel with buckets, jet nozzle and torque brake and so on. The parameter effects related on Pelton turbine's efficiency were investigated and discussed on the influence of the variations of load and speed ratio.

To investigate the generation mechanism of the shock-associated noise, an underexpanded supersonic jet from an axisymmetic nozzle is simulated under the conditions of the Nozzle exit Mach number of 2 and the exit pressure ratio of Pe/Pe =1.5. The present simulation is performed based on the high-order accuracy and high-resolution ENO (Essentially Non-Oscillatory) scheme to capture the time-dependent flow structure representing the sound source. It was found that the shock-associated noise is generated by the weak interaction between the downstream propagating large turbulence structures of the jet flow and the quasi-periodic shock cell structure during the one is passing through the other. The directivity of propagating waves to the upstream is clearly shown in the visualization of pressure field. It is shown that the present calculation of the centerline pressure distribution is in fare agreement with the experimental data at the location of first shock cell.

In the course of missile system design, jet plume impingement is encountered in designing airframe as well as launchers, requiring careful investigation of its effect on the system. In the present paper, recent works on such topic are presented to demonstrate usefulness of CFD results in helping design the hardware. The jet impinging flow structure exhibits such complex nature as shock shell, plate shock and Mach disk depending on the flow parameters. The main parameters are the ratio of the jet pressure to the ambient pressure and the distance between the nozzle and the wall. In the current application, the nozzle contour and the pressure ratio are held fixed, but the jet impinging distance is varied to illuminate the characteristics of the jet plume with the distance. The same methodology is then applied to a complex vertical launcher system (VLS), capturing its flow structure and major design parameter. These applications involving jets are thus hoped to demonstrate the usefulness and value of CFD in designing a complex structure in the real engineering environment.

본 연구에서는 중심선 방정식 선정에 따른 노즐 성능 영향성을 확인하고자 하였다. 곡선 방정식과 설계 형상 파라미터를 활용하여 S-형 노즐 3조와 Double S-형 노즐 3조를 설계하였고 노즐 차폐 성능은 차폐율 정의를 이용하여 평가하였다. 그리고 내부 유동을 분석하기 위해 속도 분포도와 압력분포도로 특성을 연구하였고, 노즐 성능 계수로는 총 추력 비(f)와 노즐 단열 효율계수(η)를 통해 노즐의 성능을 평가하였다. 중심선에 따른 S-형 노즐의 성능 영향성을 분석한 결과 출구에서 급격한 곡률 변화가 있는 중심선은 노즐 성능이 우수한 반면 차폐율이 낮은 특징이 있다. 반면에 입구에서 급격한 곡률 변화가 있는 중심선은 노즐 성능이 낮아지고 차폐율이 높은 특징이 있다. Double S-형 노즐은 첫 번째 곡률에서 완만한 특징을 보이는 중심선을 사용하는 것이 노즐 성능과 차폐율이 우수하였다.

A method to design the contour and conception of a plug nozzle of arbitrary shape, but specified exit flow conditions is presented. Severals shapes can be obtained for exit Mach number by changing the specific heats ratio. The characteristics of the nozzle in terms of length, weight and pressure force exerted on the wall are compared to the Minimum Length Nozzle and found to be better. Our field of study is limited to the supersonic mode to not to have the dissociation of the molecules. The design method is based on the use of the Prandtl Meyer function of a perfect gas. The flow is not axial at the throat, which may be advantageous for many propulsion applications. The performance benefits of the plug nozzle compared to the Minimum Length Nozzle are also presented.

An ejector is a fluid machinery to be utilized for mixing fluids, maintaining vacuum, and transporting them. The Ejector is applied for a variety of industrial fields such as refrigerators and power plants. It is adopted to recycle anode off gas safely in 5kW Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell system of KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute). The ejector is placed at mixing point between the anode off gas and the cathode off gas or the fresh air. In this study, the entrainment ratio is measured according to the diametrical ratio of nozzle to throat. In addition, the performance curve of the ejector and the differential pressure in diffuser is observed.

Supersonic free jets discharging from an orifice or a nozzle have long been research subject with a number of engineering applications and have mainly been investigated using dry air or other gas without any condensation effects. The major characteristics of those supersonic jets are now well known in terms of jet pressure ratio and ratio of specific heats of gas. Recently, the supersonic jets of superheated steam or moist air are being used in many industrial applications, in which case is expected that the condensation effects might alter the fundamental structure of the dry air jet. The present study aims to investigate the supersonic moist air jet and to clarify the condensation effects on the jet structure. An experiment is carried out using an indraft wind tunnel facility. The relative humidity of moist air is controlled at the nozzle supply, and the jet pressure ratio is varied to obtain the moderately under expanded flows at the exit of the nozzle. It is found that the relative humidity of moist air can change the diameter and location of Mach Disk.

High-pressurized jet is widely using in industrial works. however, few papers studied on the performances or characteristics on that kind of nozzles. And in this study, some flow characteristics with the variation of nozzle aspect ratios such as mean velocity distributions, momentum variations along the center line have been experimentally investigated. As the results, some semi-empirical correlations of profiles of pressure and mean velocity distributions, momentum conservations with the nozzle aspect ratios are formulated. It is expected that these empirical formula can be applied for the random estimations of nozzle performances.

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 $S_n=0.094$.

In this study, a new laval type nozzle was designed and manufactured. Using this nozzle tin powder was produced in close coupled system by using nitrogen gas at different operating conditions. The results showed that the increasing the gas pressure up to 1.47 MPa reduced the mean powder size down to 11.39 microns with a gas/melt mass flow rate ratio of 2.0. Powders are spherical in shape and have smooth surfaces.
