현재 소방장비에 적용되어지는 소방펌프를 살펴보면 원심펌프가 주류를 이루고 있으며 폼 약제 이송 장치와 같은 특수한 장비에 용적형펌프가 일부 사용되고 있다. 또한 국내 소방펌프의 형식승인 및 검정기술기준 또한 원심펌프 위주로 되어 있어 원심펌프 이외의 펌프를 소방장비에 적용하기에는 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 고압으로 대유량 방수가 가능하도록 개발된 회전용적형펌프의 방수성능을 기존의 원심펌프와 비교 테스트하고 그 결과를 분석하여 회전용적형펌프의 소방장비에 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

A CFD code was developed to investigate the inception of cavitation around impeller blades of centrifugal fuel pump using two dimensional cascade modeling. With the verification test for numerical validity of the developed code, the prediction of the onset of cavitation was made for the configuration of a newly designed KHP fuel pump. The calculation results show impeller design was free of cavitation if the pump operates within the operational temperature and rotational speed range. However, the cavitation would be relatively easy to occur at off design region of fuel pump where the rotational speed is higher than design limit. Specially, the onset of cavitation is sensitively dependent on the increase in fuel temperature while the decrease in temperature will reduce the possibility of cavitation inception in the pump.

Efficiency characteristics of centrifugal turbopumps for a liquid rocket engine were investigated. Predicting the performance of pumps for a turbopump assembly test, the variation on pump efficiency by working fluids was analyzed from pump component tests. Water and liquid nitrogen (LN2) were used for the component test, kerosene (Jet A-1) and liquid oxygen (LOX) were adapted for the turbopump assembly (TPU) test as working fluids. Overall performance of the pumps was investigated covering design/off-design operating points and the pump efficiency on the environment of real media (LOX/kerosene) could be modified from the pump component tests.

In this study, tile characteristics of three dimensional flow fields in centrifugal flump impeller are investigated by numerically. Detailed analysis and understanding of flow field in centrifugal pump are very important to predict performance of components. The three dimensional viscous fluid flow in centrifugal pump is distingushed isentropic process region from irreversible process region by wall shear effect, secondary flow, centrifugal and Coriolis forces, variation of boudary layers. Development of low momentum region by viscous fluid flow in the centrifugal impeller causes stall and blockage which is irreversible process region, and resulting in decrease of the performance and efficiency of centrifugal pump. Especially, the result is that Coriolis and centrifugal forces are most powerful factors which are increasing the irreversible region.

A centrifugal pump was selected as a basic study, for it was utilized widely at the industry among various types of pumps. The purpose of this study was to develop the software for design of centrifugal pump. The step of this design was divided into two stages. First, the impeller was designed by the experiences and theory of A.J.Stepanoff, and the head was checked whether the design of impeller was acceptable. Second, the volute chamber was designed by the Archimedes spiral. Then, These procedures of impeller and volute chamber were developed into the software in C-language. Checked the validity of the developed software, the results were consistent with the actual pump produced domestically.

The non pulsation blood pump is divided into axial flow and centrifugal style according to the direction of inlet and outlet flow. An axial flow blood pump can be made smaller than a centrifugal blood pump because centrifugal pump's rpm is fewer than axial flow pump. Hemolysis is an important factor for the development of an axial flow blood pump. It is difficult to identify the areas where hemolysis occurs. Evaluation of hemolysis both in in-vitro and in-vivo test requires a long-time and more expensive. Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis enables the engineer to predict hemolysis on a computer which just can get not only amount of htmolysis but also location of hemolysis. It takes shorter time and less expensive than in-vitro test. The purpose of this study is to git Computational fluid dynamics in axial flow pump and to verify the accuracy of prediction by the possibility of design comparing CFD results with in-vitro experimental results. Also, wish to figure out the correction method that can bring improvement in shape of axial flow blood pump using CFD analysis.

The effects of an impeller and floating ring seals on the performance of centrifugal pumps are investigated on the basis of their test results using water. The pumps are single-staged centrifugal pumps developed for 30-ton- and 75-ton-class liquid rocket engines, and are components of a turbopump that supplies propellants (liquid oxidizer and kerosene) to the combustion chamber. The exit width of the impellers and the numbers and exit angles of the impeller blades are found to have influences on the pump heads. In addition, the pumps have different efficiencies according to the gaps between the floating ring seals and the impellers, whereas the pump size seems to have less effect on the efficiency.

Positive displacement pumps with high pressure and water capacity are used large fires in various high-rise buildings. This study provides information for a performance approval standard of fire pumps for fire trucks based on centrifugal pump standards enacted in 2012. An experiment was conducted with a positive displacement pump for three levels of performance from the approval standard (V-1, 2, and 3). The efficiency of the pump was included in the reference, which requires the approval of 65% performance, the same as a centrifugal pump. The water pressure is between 1.5 and 2.5 MPa, and the required flow rate was established as at least $0.31m^3/min$ and up to $3.0m^3/min$. A relief valve was added to adjust the shut-off pressure due to the structural characteristics of the positive displacement pump. A strainer was also installed to prevent damage to the inside of the pump due to foreign matter. However, the strainer includes a difference from the positive displacement pump to operate without a vacuum pump and the centrifugal pump. This is due to the additional approval standard portion of the positive displacement pump, which is expected to be selected for more variety of fire-fighting equipment and proactive responses to fire suppression in a high-rise buildings and large fires. In conclusion, this approval standard was enacted in January 2016.

In order to build a conceptual design program for a liquid rocket engine system, performance based sub-programs for each core component of the engine system were made. Parts included were the combustion chamber, supersonic nozzle, centrifugal pump, and impulsive turbine. Simple mathematical models based on classical thermodynamic and inviscid theories were adopted with proper tuning by empirical data. In Part I, aiming to validate each sub-program, we examined the results of each program qualitatively, and parametrically investigated the sensitivity due to the change in design parameters.

회전축계의 강제진동으로 가장 전형적이고 공업상 중요한 것은 넓은 의미로서 불평형 진동이다. 불평형은 회전체의 제작상 피할 수 없으며 진동이 전혀 문제가 되지 않는 정도로 제작하는 것은 경제적인 면에서도 불가능하다. 지금까지 미끄럼 베어링으로 지지된 회전축계의 불평형 응답 특성에 대하여는 여러 연구자에 의해 연구가 진행되고 있다. 수중에서 운전되는 펌프는 물의 감쇠작용 때문에 축진동 문제는 적다고 생각되어 펌프의 축진동에 관한 보고는 별로 없다. Black은 펌프의 축진동을 연구하여, 시일부분이 축진동 응답에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 보였다. 그러나 시일형상에 따른 유체력 평가가 충분히 구명되지 않았기 때문에 환상 시일부분의 틈새,폭경비 및 압력차 등이 펌프진동에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는가가 충분히 검토 되어 있지않다. 이에 저자는 펌프용 시일의 유체력에 의한 진동 특성에 관한 일련의 연구를 진행하여 각종 시일의 유체력을 해석하였고, 이 유체력이 회전축계의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였으며 범용 안정성해석 프로그램을 개발하였다.
