Recently, research on high-efficiency refrigeration cycles that apply an ejector to basic cycles has progressed actively. The role of the ejector and the performance of refrigeration cycles are subordinate to ejector locations. In this study, the performance of three refrigeration cycles with different ejector locations is compared and analyzed. The results showed an increased COP in all cycles due to the application of the ejector, with the highest increase of 44% compared to a basic refrigeration cycle. The ejector refrigeration cycle proposed in this study presents the highest COP, 3.47. Moreover, the decrease in condensation capacity in Bergander's cycle, Xing's cycle, and our proposed ejector refrigeration cycle went up to 21%. In refrigeration cycles applying the ejector, the pressure ratio of the ejector, the vapor fraction of discharge, and compression ratio are important factors for COP enhancement. For this reason, detailed and accurate control of these is significant.

The effects of design parameters of supersonic ejector system under the assumption of constant pressure mixing were performed. Design parameters were mass flow rate ratio, area ratio between primary and secondary flow, and primary Mach number. 1-D theoretical performance of ejector in terms of pressure ratio and contraction ratio with and without loss mechanism such as diffuser efficiency and friction were considered.

In this study, the performance and structure of a parallel ejector comprised of multiple single ejectors were confirmed through numerical analysis. The same design variables (mass suction ratio, compression ratio, and expansion ratio) relevant to the performance of a single ejector were considered in the design of the parallel ejector. Analytical results showed that there was no significant difference in the performance of either system related to the operating mass suction ratio; however, the systemsize was significantly reduced. In addition, it was confirmed that when ejectors of the same performance capacity are arranged in parallel, the combined mass suction ratio is lower than that of the single ejector, allowing a lower pressure to be realized. The results of the analysis indicated that the parallel ejector's performance is not significantly different from that of any single ejector, but confirmed that the parallel ejector can offer a configurationdependent advantage in size and operation.

This paper describes an ejector design technique which used for simulating low pressure environment corresponding to high altitude. Also the ejector performance characteristics was investigated according to performance and geometric variables by cold gas flow test. Entrainment ratio, compression ratio and expansion ratio were designated as performance variables and an ejector gap ratio was designated as a geometric variable. A relationship between the performance variables to predict the ejector performance was identified and it was confirmed that the performance variables have much more effective than the ejector gap ratio through the ejector cold gas flow test.

본 논문은 유한체적법에 근거한 CFD 분석기법을 이용하여 증기 이젝터의 성능에 대하여 구동노즐의 기하학적 형상에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. 구동노즐의 직경비를 변화시키고 또한 직경비를 일정하게하고 구동 노즐의 위치를 변화시키면서 최적의 조건을 조사하였다. 연구 결과 이젝터의 성능은 구동노즐의 직경과 노즐의 출구 위치에 의해 좌우됨을 확인하였다. 일정 노즐 면적비에 대하여 노즐 목 직경이 감소함에 따라 혼입율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였고 일정 노즐 목 직경에 대하여 면적비의 증가는 혼입율의 감소의 원인이 된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 혼입율은 노즐의 출구 위치에 따라 영향을 받는다는 것도 확인하였다. 혼입율은 노즐 출구의 위치가 이젝터의 상류로 이동할수록 증가하고 그 위치는 이젝터의 일정단면적부 직경(D)에 대하여 0.4D일 때 최적의 성능을 보였다.

산업공정에서 널리 사용하는 반응기는 성질이 상이한 물질을 혼합하는 시스템으로서 본 연구에서는 이젝터(ejector)에 의한 반응기의 개발을 수행하였다. 액체-가스 이젝터는 구동유체에 의하여 기체가 흡입되면서 각종 유해가스를 제거하는 목적 또는 기체와 액체의 혼합 등 목적으로 사용된다. 본 실험에서 액체구동 가스혼합반응기의 실험 장치를 구축하고 이젝터 내부의 유동패턴과 기체용해도 자료를 도출하며 고효율 이젝터 설계를 위한 진공도 측정과 디퓨저 각도가 다른 이젝터의 실험 및 수치해석을 수행하였다. 이젝터의 성능은 흡입 측에서의 진공압력으로 평가되며 이 진공압력은 이젝터의 노즐 설계 및 유동조건에 의하여 결정되므로 이에 대한 기본적인 특성 도출이 선결되어야 한다. 순환유체의 유량이 70LPM, 80LPM 90LPM조건에서 두 가지 디퓨저에 대하여 비교실험을 수행하였다. 실험적 연구와 수치해석연구를 통하여 혼합성능과 이젝터의 내부유동특성에 대하여 고찰한 결과 디퓨저의 각도가 5.0도일 때 진공도가 더욱 높으며 구동액체의 유량이 작을 때는 진공도차이가 크지만 유량이 증가함에 따라 진공도 차이가 감소된다. 구동액체의 유량이 증가할수록 용존산소농도는 증가하며 디퓨저의 각도가 5.0도일 때는 용존산소 농도가 더 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Considering the complexity and difficulty on the researching, how to enhance the performance of ejector-diffuser system effectively became a significant task. In the present study, the supersonic nozzle was redesigned using Chevrons installed at the inlet of the secondary stream of the ejector-diffuser system for the purpose of the performance improvement. A CFD method based on Fluent has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows and shock waves inside the ejector. Primary numerical analysis results show that the Chevrons get a positive effect on the ejector flows. The comparison of ejector performance with and without the Chevron was obtained and optimal number of chevron lobe is discussed to increase the performance. The ejector-diffuser system performance is discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, pressure recovery as well as total pressure loss.

In order to predict the performance of subsonic/sonic ejector system and to provide fundamental data for a cost effective design, one dimensional gas dynamics theory was applied to the subsonic and sonic ejector systems with the second throat. In the current theoretical analyses, ejector throat area ratio, mass flow ratio and secondary stagnation pressure were derived as a function of the operating pressure ratio of the ejector, and the discharge coefficient of the primary nozzle and the loss coefficient of the diffuser were incorporated into the whole performance of the ejector system. The results of theoretical analysis can be applied to practical industrial use of subsonic and sonic gas ejector systems.
