A surge phenomenon cause noise and pulsations in a turbo compressor, which is an unstable operating regime. Because surge protection ensures a safe compressor operation, it is important to understand the physics of the surge phenomenon. In this study, the surge characteristics of a 250-hp class turbo-compressor were evaluated experimentally. The experimental parameters were the rotational speed, opening angles of the inlet guide vane and exit valve, and inlet pipe diameter and flow rates of the inlet gases. The results showed that the compressor surge was very sensitive to the gas flow rates, exit pressure, rotational speed, and bypass flow rates.

Recently, needs for UAVs and small aircraft and small turbo jet or turbo fan engines for these air-crafts are increasing. Size and weight are the two main restrictions in small air-crafts such as UAV or VLJ propulsion system applications. Therefore, high power density is required in small size and designers come up with unconventional solutions in the design of small aero gas turbine engines. One of the solutions is the usage of highly loaded axial compressors. This paper introduces an aerodynamic design method of a highly loaded axial compressor and its review process. Numerical simulation has been carried out to assess the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

가스터빈 엔진의 성능을 제대로 예측하기 위해서는 먼저 주요 구성품인 압축기, 터빈 등의 성능 자료가 충분히 알려져 있어야 한다. 특히 압축기는 조건의 변화에 따라 성능변화가 크므로 엔진 성능예측시 압축기 성능특성은 매우 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 압축기의 경우, 유동의 특성상 역압력 구배로 인한 유동의 박리가 발생하는 등 유동현상이 매우 복잡해진다. 이와 같은 2차원 압축기 익력 성능예측을 위하여 압축성, 비압축성 수치해석기법 및 난류 모델을 DCA(doble circular arc) 아음속 압축기 익렬에 적용하여 실험 결과와 비교 검토하였다.

압축가스를 이용하여 추진제를 액체 로켓 엔진에 공급하는 경우, 공급압력은 정상 연소상태의 연소압을 기준으로 하여 설계한다. 그러나 연소초기의 연소실 압력은 대기압 상태이므로 과도한 유량이 공급되어 이로 인해 hard-start 가 발생하며, 최악의 경우 엔진의 파손을 가져온다.

Highly plastic clays in their normally consolidated states are not always linear but are concave downwards. Thus their compression index deceases with the increase of consolidation pressure. The $e-{\log}{\sigma}_{\upsilon}{\prime}$ curves of plastic or non-plastic silty clays are not linear but are convex upwards. In this paper, consolidation tests were conducted with several undisturbed field soils of Korea south coast and their $e-{\log}{\sigma}_{\upsilon}{\prime}$ plots are not always linear. In case of using Butterfield's method(liquid limit 50~100%), ${\ln}{\upsilon}-{\ln}{\sigma}_{\upsilon}{\prime}$ plots are linear. But some undisturbed samples which have void ratio over 2.24, liquid limit over 100% and plasticity index over 60% are not linear. In results of consolidation tests with remolded samples which contain silt(fly ash) contents of 90% has compression index increasing with the increase in consolidation pressure.

The present study describes unsteady flow phenomena generated in a supersonic flow passing over a rectangular cavity and suggests a way of control of pressure oscillation, doing harm to overall performance and stable operation of aerodynamic and industrial applications. The three-dimensional, unsteady, compressible Navier-stokes equations are numerically solved based on a fully implicit finite volume scheme and large eddy simulation. The cavity flow are simulated with and without control methods, including a triangular bump and blowing jet installed near the leading edge of the cavity. The results show that the pressure oscillation is attenuated by both control techniques, especially near the trailing edge of cavity.

Compression pressure of individual cylinder and valve timing have big influence on combustion pressure, indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), emission, vibration, combustion noise and many other combustion parameters. Conventional method, however, to check compression pressure uniformity is done by mechanical pressure gage and valve timing is checked manually. This conventional method causes inaccuracy of cylinder pressure measurement because of different cranking speed results from battery status and temperature. Also to check valve timing, related FEAD parts should be disassembled and timing mark should be checked. This study describes and suggests new methodology to measure compression pressure by analysis of start motor current and to check valve timing by cylinder pressure with high accuracy. Results, it is found that detection of bulky as well as small leaky cylinder is possible by cranking motor current analysis and wrong valve timing can be detected by cylinder pressure analysis and cam and crank sensor signal.

A study was conducted on the effect of leading edge location for the performance characteristics of a centrifugal compressor impeller. Five impellers with different leading edge location were selected for numerical analysis. The impeller with leading edge located 10% away from the inlet about meridional distance from entrance to exit showed the best total pressure ratio and efficiency. Also, this case showed relatively uniform flow distribution because of a weak intensity of the separation region at impeller exit. The impeller with leading edge located far from this location showed lowest total pressure ratio and efficiency. Performance of compressor also decreased due to non-uniform flow distribution at impeller exit.

수소 추출과 리포밍 과정, 연료 전지, 저장소로 구성된 수소 연료에 대한 연구는 세계적으로 번영하고 있는 중이다. 그러나 한국의 수소 스테이션에 대한 연구는 아직도 개발이 미미한 수준이다. 그리고 역시 수소 스테이션의 가장 중요한 부분인 수소 압축기에 대한 연구도 미흡하다. 수소압축기에서 가장 중요한 부분 중에 하나는 스너버인데 이것의 기능은 수소가스의 맥동압을 줄이고 불순물을 제거한다. 스너버 내부에는 버퍼라고 불리는 기울어진 판이 설치되어 맥동압을 줄이고 불순물을 제거하는 역할을 담당한다. 스너버 내부의 압력 손실과 맥동압이 최소가 될 때 스너버는 적절한 성능을 가졌다고 평가된다. 그러므로 이 연구의 목적은 수치해석을 통하여 스너버의 최적의 기하학적 크기와 버퍼의 각도에 따른 최적의 스너버를 찾는 것이다. 수치해석의 결과에서 다양한 버퍼각도에 따른 스너버의 독특한 특성을 볼 수 있다. 결과적으로 버퍼의 각도가 $35^{\circ}$일때 최소의 압력손실율이 발생했고, 버퍼의 각도가 $10^{\circ}$일 때 최소의 맥동압이 발생하였다.
