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.

가스-액체 이젝터에 관한 수치해석은 3차원 CFD 모델로 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 이젝터의 유동특성과 질량전달특성에 대한 작동조건과 이젝터의 기하학적 모형의 영향에 관한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. CFD 결과 실험 데이터에 의하여 검증되었으며, 유동 분석과 이젝터 성능의 예측 또한 실행되었다. 작동상태의 변화는 0.2 $\sim$ 1.2 범위에서 가스-액체 유량비를 변화시킴으로서 주어진다. 혼합관의 $L_M/D_M$이 4 $\sim$ 10의 범위에서 변화를 주었다. CFD 연구는 길이와 직경비가 5.5일 때 체적 유량전달계수는 가스 유량이 증가함에 따라 증가한다는 것을 나타낸다. 동시에 $L_M/D_M$가 4일 때 체적유량전달계수는 기체-액체 유량비가 0.6에서 최대치에 도달한다. 또한, 체적 유량전달계수는 혼합 튜브길이가 증가함에 따라 감소한다.

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.

Ejector system can induce the secondary flow or affect the secondary chamber pressure by both shear stress and pressure drop which are generated in the primary jet boundary. Ejectors are widely used in a range of applications such as a turbine-based combined-cycle propulsion system and a high altitude test facility for rocket engine, pressure recovery system, desalination plant and ejector ramjet etc. The primary interest of this study is to set up an configuration and operating conditions for an ejector in the condition of sonic and subsonic. Experimental and theoretical investigation on the sonic and subsonic ejectors with a converging-diverging diffuser was carried out. Numerical simulation was adopted for an optimal geometry design and satisfying the required performance. Also, some ejectors with a various of nozzle throat and mixing chamber diameter were manufactured precisely and tested for the comparison with the calculation results.

Ejector system are used to transport a low momentum flow to the higher pressure flow by the momentum change between high and low momentum flows. This system is used to simulate the high altitude and Mach number condition over altitude 20 km and Mach 4 of the supersonic test facility. We applied the design and the performance analysis technique(EISIMP code) of the Ramjet Test Facility(RJTF) air system in JAXA to the ejector system of the ramjet test facility in KARI. After preliminary design of the ejector system, we performed a computational study using FLUENT and investigated shock structures and flow characteristics of the ejector system.

This paper depicts the computational results for the axisymmetric subsonic/sonic ejector systems with a second throat. The numerical simulations are based on a fully implicit finite volume scheme of the compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in a domain that extends from the stagnation chamber to the ejector diffuser exit. In order to obtain practical design factors for the subsonic/sonic ejector systems which are applicable to industrial vacuum pumps, the ejector throat area, the mixing section configuration, and the ejector throat length are changed in computations. For the subsonic/sonic ejector systems operating in the range of low operation pressure ratios, the effects of the design factors on the vacuum performance of the secondary chamber are discussed.

For the purpose of a cost effective design of practical subsoni $c^ersonic ejector systems, an experiment was carried out using a superheated steam as a primary driving flow. The superheated steam jet was produced by several different kinds of subsonic and supersonic nozzles. The secondary flow of atmospheric air inside a plenum chamber was drawn into the primary steam jet. The vacuum performance of the plenum chamber was investigated for a wide range of the ejector operation pressure ratio. The result showed that the static pressure of the mixed flow at the ejector throat is only a function of the ejector operation pressure ratio, regardless of the primary nozzle type employed.ed.

An ejector is a fluid transportation device that operates based on the principle that a high-pressure fluid is spouted through a driving pipe and the pressure of a low-pressure fluid is increased through exchange of momentum with a low-pressure gas. Steam-steam ejectors have been widely used for suction, mixture, and dehydration. They can be easily used in places where fluid moves and expenses are reasonable. In addition, such ejectors are a semi-permanent fluid device that requires little maintenance. In this study, we present an optimized design by analyzing what cannot be obtained through experiments in order to improve the device performance, analyze general contents of a flow by acquiring exact test data on specific and interpretative areas using more advanced experimental techniques, and identify the flow characteristics of a branch pipe by examining the validity of experiments using computer hydrodynamics simulations.

The flow characteristics of supersonic ejectors is often subject to compressibility, unsteadiness and shock wave systems. The numerical works carried out thus far have been of one-dimensional analyses or some Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) which has been applied to only a very simplified configuration. For the design of effective ejector-pump systems the effects of secondary mass flow on the supersonic ejector flow should be fully understood. In the present work the supersonic ejector-pump flows with a secondary mass flow were simulated using CFD. A fully implicit finite volume scheme was applied to axisymmetric compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The standard two-equation turbulence model was employed to predict turbulent stresses. The results obtained showed that the flow characteristics of constant area mixing tube types were nearly independent of the secondary flow rate, but the flow fields of ejector system with the second-throat were strongly dependent on the secondary flow rate due to the effect of the back pressure near the primary nozzle exit.
