In this study, a numerical methodology is proposed for evaluating valve flow noise in a pipe conveying high pressure gas, and the effects of perforated plates on reduction of such valve flow noise are quantitatively analyzed. First, high-accurate unsteady compressible Large Eddy Simulation techniques are utilized to predict flow and flow noise by a valve in a high-pressure pipe. The validity of the numerical result is confirmed by comparing the predicted wall pressure spectrum with the measured one. Next, the acoustic power of downstream-propagating acoustic waves due to the valve flow is analyzed using an acoustic power formula for acoustic waves propagating on mean flow in a pipe. Based on the analysis results, perforated plates are designed and installed downstream of the valve to suppress the valve flow noise and the acoustic power of downstream-going acoustic waves is predicted by using the same numerical procedure. The reduction by 9.5 dB is confirmed by comparing the predicted result with that of the existing system. Based on these results, the current numerical methodology is expected to be used to reduce valve flow noise in an existing system as well as in a design stage.

소형엔진의 성능을 결정하는 흡기시스템 중 흡기포트는 매우 중요한 설계인자이다. 본 연구는 흡기포트에 대한 성능실험 및 CFD(Computaional Fluid Dynamics) 해석을 통하여 흡기 성능을 파악하고, 이러한 일련의 실험과정을 학습하여 제품의 성능 평가 절차를 정립하고 성능을 개선하는데 그 목적이 있다. 흡기 성능평가를 위해 리그를 구성하여 실험과 해석을 진행하였으며 이를 통하여 공기유량계수 값을 획득하였다. 공기유량계수 값은 밸브 리프트 변화에 따른 표준 밸브리프트로 환산한 값을 사용하였다. 실험적 연구를 통하여 기존 소형엔진 흡기 포트의 평가에 대한 기준을 제시하였고, 이는 소형엔진 흡기포트 설계 후 성능 평가를 위한 중요한 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we introduce an approach to design multi-fuzzy controllers for the superheat and the low pressure that have an influence on energy efficiency and stabilization of aft conditioning system. Air conditioning system is composed of compressor, condenser several evaporators and several expansion valves. It is quite difficult to control the air conditioning system because the change of the refrigerant condition give an impact on the overall air conditioning system. In order to solve the drawback, we design multi-fuzzy controllers which control simultaneously both three expansion valve and one compressor for the superheat and the low pressure of air conditioning system. The proposed multi fuzzy controllers are given as two kinds of controller types such as a continuous simplified fuzzy inference type and a discrete fuzzy lookup_table type. Here the scaling factors of each fuzzy controller ate efficiently adjusted by veal coding type Genetic Algorithms. The values of performance index of the conventional type are compared with the simulation results of discrete lookup_table type and continuous simplified inference type.

In this paper, the mathematical models and control algorithm of a thrust control valve were described as a precedent study on the design of thrust control algorithm for a liquid rocket engine (LRE). Numerical simulations were performed using a simplified simulation system of an LRE and the developed mathematical models were validated by comparison with the experimental results. Through these research, basic data were acquired for the development of a thrust control algorithm for a LRE.

The pressure regulator has been developed as a pressure-control device of propellant tank in KSR-III. The pressurization system of KSR-III is a basic pressurization system composed of pressurant, He tank and propellant tank. The pressure-control regulator is the most important part of gas-pressurized feed system along with He tank, pyrovalve and He fill valve. The first model of the regulator is tested to satisfy in leakage, strength and basic performance. The second model is tested in the overall test of the KSR-III propulsion system using water. From the test result of the second model, we conclude that the capacity of valve(Cv) must be increased in real system. The third model is modified and tested in the overall test of KSR-III propulsion system using propellant. Finally, the pressure-control regulator is qualified from firing test.

The high pressure pump of a diesel injection system compresses the fuel supplied at low pressure into high pressure fuel and maintains the fuel of the common rail at the required pressure level according to the engine operating conditions. The high pressure pump is required to operate normally in order to compress the fuel to a high pressure of 2000 bar during the entire lifetime of the vehicle. Consequently, a suitable design technique, material durability and high precision machining are required. In this study, the high pressure pump simulation model of a 1-plunger radial piston pump is modelled by using the AMESim code. The main simulation parameters are the displacement, flow rate and pressure characteristics of the inlet and outlet valves, cam torque characteristics, and operating characteristics of the fuel metering valve and overflow valve. In addition, the operating characteristics of the pump are simulated according to the parameter changes of the hole diameter and the spring initial force of the inlet valve. The simulation results show that the operation of the developed pump model is logically valid. This paper also proposes a simulation model that can be used for current pump design changes and new pump designs.

The KOMPSAT program is carrying out successfully in spite of the short domestic space development history, but there are still many difficulties in Koreanization of most core parts. Because the development of core parts is essential to participate in the advanced nations in space based on the mid-long term national space program, KARI has carried out development of Fill/Drain valve for propellant/pressurant supply of satellite, which has high possibilities to be koreanized, with Hanwha Corp.. This paper summarizes overall processes of development including design, manufacturing and test, and finally 4 sets of modules were successfully made. Also the satisfaction of performance requirements are verified through acceptance tests.

In this study, dynamic analysis of a proportional solenoid valve is performed, and an LQG/LTR controller with an integrator is designed to control the proportional solenoid valve. The dynamic characteristic of a valve is identified using experimental data by employing the frequency-domain modeling technique. The purpose of LQG/LTR control with an integrator is to enhance the system response and to improve the tracking accuracy for a complex input signal. Experimental tests are performed to verify the performance of the controller, and the results prove the high performance of the controller.

In this paper, Analytical study is carried out on the impedance characteristics of the globe control valve, which is mainly used for thrust control in liquid rockets, according to the effective area at low frequency perturbation. The impedance tends to increase according to effective area and the cause of impedance characteristic change through flow field visualization is investigated. In the future, the information on the change in the impedance characteristics of the control valve can be used to obtain the impedance of the supply system and it can be utilized to predict pogo phenomenon as well as design accumulator and orifice to reduce the pogo phenomenon.
