The main scope of this paper is to see if the conventional pump can be properly used for a specific fuel, Di-methyl Ether (DME) despite of its low lubricity and high reactivity in the experimental conditions. A wobble plate type fuel pump was connected to the common rail to verify that the pump could deliver the fuel at the required pressure and resultantly DME could be used as fuel without modifying the original pump. At each required pressure (30 Mpa, 35 Mpa, 40 Mpa, 45 Mpa, and 50 Mpa), the pump met the pressure required by the common rail. In addition, pump performance experiments tended to follow the usual performance curve while the flow rate decreased as the pressure increased. The maximum flow rate of the pump was 470 kg/h at 30 Mpa and all measurements were taken with keeping DME temperature below 60℃.

In these days, we are faced to a couple of difficult problems, the one is the unstable price of the energy due to the shortage of fossil fuel resources and the other is the serious environmental pollution from the excessive consumption of fossil fuel. In order to save the thermal energy for the house heating, in this study the heat pump using the natural thermal energy resources was provided for Ondol heating and the thermal energy consumption of the heat was compared to that of oil boiler. The results could be summarized as follows: 1. In the Ondol room the temperature difference between the Ondol surface and room air was about 5∼$10^{\circ}C$ in accordance with the ambient temperature. 2. The Ondol room heating efficiency of the heat pump with compressor of 2PS was the highest at the water flow rate of 200 l/h. 3. The energy saving rate of the heat pump to the oil boiler for heating the Ondol system was 19.3%. 4. The Ondol heating cost of the heat pump was less 20.6% than that of oil boiler when oil price was 478 won/l.

유출지하수나 지표수를 열원으로 하는 지열히트펌프의 Pond Loop형 열교환기를 개발하기 위하여 미국에서 상용화된 Slim-Jim 열교환기와 본 연구에서 자체설계, 제작한 Pond-loop type의 열교환기를 유동이 없는 유출수조 내에서 수조온도가 변화함에 따라 일정한 열교환기 입구온도를 유지하면서 열전달량의 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 유출수를 Heat Source로 사용하는 경우 Slim-Jim에서는 $8,000{\sim}11,000 kcal/hr$의 열량이 전달되었고, 자체 제작한 열교환기에서는 $11,000{\sim}16,000kcal/hr$의 열량이 전달되었다. 유출수를 Heat Sink로 사용할 경우 Slim-Jim에서는 $2,500{\sim}7,000 kcal/h$의 열량이 전달되었고, 자체제작한 열교환기의 경우, $6,800{\sim}14,00 kcal/hr$의 열량이 전달되었다. 측정된 열전달량을 바탕으로 총괄열전달계수를 구한 결과 Slim-Jim 열교환기의 경우 $210{\sim}340 kcal/hr\;m^2{\circ}C$, 자체개발한 열교환기의 경우 $350{\sim}590 kcal/hr\;m^2{\circ}C$로 나타나 자체 개발한 열교환기의 열전달 성능이 비교적 우수함을 입증하였다.

This research is to investigate the performance analysis for efficient design with four different inlet angles of the centrifugal pump impeller. Assuming that the rotation speed and exit angle are fixed, Four cases of the centrifugal pumps were numerically analyzed using ANSYS FLUENT. According to the numerical results, head and pump efficiency at inlet angle of 20 degrees was highest. There is no big difference of efficiency at inlet angle of 20 degrees compared to the inlet angle 30 degrees. About 15% of efficiency at inlet angle of 20 degrees is higher than inlet angle of 40 degrees and 31% higher than inlet angle oof 50 degrees. Because there is liner functional relationship between speed and flow rate, suction flow rate at inlet angle of 20 degrees is superior to the inlet angle of 30 degrees as much as 0.89%, inlet angle of 40 degrees as 13%, inlet angle of 50 as 28.4%. Head at inlet angle of 20 degrees is superior to the inlet angle of 30 degrees as much as 0.4%, inlet angle of 40 degrees as 2.7%, inlet angle of 50 degrees as 3.2%. There should exist highest efficiency and also optimal design shape at inlet angle of 20 degrees.

Seawater lift pump systems are responsible for maintaining open canal levels to provide the suction flow of circulating water pumps at the set point. The objective of this paper is to design a 2-stage mixed flow pump (for seawater lifting), investigate the new impeller modeling method, and performance improvements of the impeller by using a commercial CFD code. The rotating speed of the impeller is 1,750 rpm with a flow rate of 2,700 m3/h. A finite volume method with a structured mesh and realized k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulent model is used to guarantee a more accurate prediction of turbulent flow in the pump impeller. The performance variables such as the static head, brake horsepower, and efficiency of the mixed flow pump are compared based on changes in the impeller blade shape.

심부전 환자의 심근회복을 도울 수 있는 장비인 전기유압방식 좌심실보조기를 개발하였다. 좌심실보조기는 혈액펌프, 압력펌프, 제어기로 구성되어 있으며, 혈액펌프에 내장된 혈액주머니는 동물실험을 위하여 50 ml의 크기로 제작하였다. 좌심실보조기의 성능평가를 위하여 최대 박출량을 측정하고 있으나 실험실에서 측정된 간은 동물 실험에서 관찰되는 것보다 일반적으로 증가된 박출량을 보이게 된다. 이는 생체에서는 좌심방의 체적이 박동 주기에 따라 변하여 좌심실보조기가 받아들일 수 있는 유효 혈액량이 변하는 반면, 모의순환장치에서는 좌심방을 단순 저장고로 사용하기 때문에 좌심방의 박동주기에 따른 체적변화를 감안하지 못하여 생기는 것이다. 본 실험에서는 모의순환 장치에 체적변화 가능한 100ml 크기의 좌심방을 연결하여 좌심방으로 들어오는 혈류량이 제한된 동물실험 상황을 모방하였다. 좌심실보조기의 제어방식중 수측기 이완기 비율(SD 비율)변화에 따른 좌심방 음압발생효과를 관찰한 결과 SD 비율을 40 %로 유지하면 행정거리가 클때도 좌심실의 음압발생을 줄일 수 있는 것을 관찰하였다.

In this study, the distribution characteristics of diffusers with various shapes that are installed in an open-type thermal storage system are numerically investigated. Four diffusers are designed to distribute a working fluid evenly through the holes on bifurcated pipes. Three-dimensional steady simulations of incompressible laminar flow are conducted using commercial software (ANSYS-FLUENT). The simulation results show that both the bidirectional header-type diffuser and the H-type diffuser distribute the working fluid evenly whereas both the unidirectional and the bidirectional diffusers distribute the working fluid unevenly. The results also show that the H-type diffuser requires a higher head of pump than the bidirectional header-type diffuser. Therefore, the bidirectional header-type diffuser is recommended for use because it enables even distribution of the working fluid and requires a low head of pump.

The basic model of impeller was developed for the theoretical analysis of performance. The developed model was tested with two different blade radius of curvature based on the pumping efficiency under the operating conditions in Korea. And the pump performance of the impeller was also tested for the various speeds. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. There was no significant effect on the different blade radius of curvatures on the discharge and pump efficiency. 2. Head and power requirement was increased in proportion to the blade radius of curvature. 3. In the mathematical approach of the blade radius of curvature, the method of involute curve was more recommendable as compared with the method of circular arc curve. 4. The pump efficiency of the model impeller developed based on the theoretical analysis increased about 10% more than that of the existing impeller.
