터보펌프를 구성하는 부분 조합체 중의 하나인 산화제 펌프의 인듀서와 임펠러에 대해서 정적 구조해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 온도, 원심력 및 압력의 영향을 각각 독립적으로 파악한 후 조합된 하중이 작용하는 경우에 대해서 인듀서와 임펠러의 거동을 살펴보았다. 설계된 형상과 재질에 대해서 구조적으로 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 온도였으며, 모든 경우에 대해서 적절한 안전 여유를 갖는 것으로 예측되었다. 하지만 진동의 영향은 고려되지 않았기 때문에 회전부와 케이싱과의 간섭 여부를 정확히 파악하기 위해서는 추가적으로 진동 해석이 수행되어야 할 것이다.

Centrifugal fans are widely used in industrial practices but the noise generated by these machines causes one of the most serious problems. In general, the centrifugal fan noise is often dominated by tones at BPF(blade passage frequency) and its higher harmonics. This is a consequence of the strong interaction between the flow discharged from the impeller and the cutoff in the easing. However, only a few researches have been carried out on predicting the noise because of the difficulty in obtaining detailed information about the flow field and casing effects on noise radiation. The objective of this study is to develop a prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of a centrifugal fan, and to calculate the effects of small vanes that are attached in original impeller - Splitter impeller. We assume that the impeller rotates with a constant angular velocity and the flow field around the impeller is incompressible and inviscid. So, a discrete vortex method (DVM) is used to model the centrifugal fan and to calculate the flow field. The force of each element on the blade is calculated by the unsteady Bernoulli equation. Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic source. The splitter impeller changes the acoustic characteristics as well as performance. Two-splitter type impeller and splitter impeller which splitter locates in jet region are good for acoustic characteristics.

Two-dimensional, angle-resolved LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimetry) measurements of the turbulent rotating flow field in a confined cylinder have been performed. The configurations of interest are flows between a rotating upper disk with a rod attached by a disk or impeller(${\theta}= 90^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}$) and a stationary lower disk in a confined cylinder. The mean flow velocity as well as the turbulent intensity of the flow field have been measured. The results show that the flow is strongly dependent on the position of the impellers or the disk, negligibly affected by the Reynolds number in turbulent flow. It is observed that the mixing effect of the axial flow impeller(${\theta}= 45^{\circ}$) is better than that of the radial flow impeller(${\theta}= 90^{\circ}$) or a disk.

The 3-lobes blower has been conventionally made by constructing the impeller with the cross-section of simple arc, and has several problems such as noise, vibration and the oscillation of torque. These are caused by the variation of clearance between both impellers rotating in geared. In the present study, an approach for the design of cross-section of impeller has been proposed to prevent the above problems. The whole cross-section is divided into the concave and convex part. The concave zone is designed by simple arc and the convex zone is modified by the condition that some part of convex zone is always in contact with the other impeller during rotating. A sample design has been carried out and it can be seen that the clearance between both impellers is always uniform and the validity of present work has been verified.

In this paper we present an efficient method for finite element vibration analysis of a structure with cyclic symmetry and applied it to calculating the natural vibration characteristics for a blower impeller. Blower impeller having a cyclically symmetric structure is composed of circumferentially repeated substructures., The whole-structure is partitioned into substructures and then finite element vibration analysis is performed for a substructure using transformed equations for each number of nodal diameter which are derived from discrete Fourier transform in consideration of the cyclic symmetry. natural vibration characteristics for three kinds of models which are blower impeller without support ring with small support ring and with large support ring are numerically analyzed and compared. Accuracy and efficiency of the present method are verified by comparison of results of the analysis with substructure and with whole-structure. Also the results of the analysis by cyclic symmetry module(SOL 115) of MSC/NASTRAN are presented and compared.

This study presents the measurement techniques on the periodic fluctuating flow such as the discharge flow of a centrifugal impeller in unstable operating region. During rotating stall, the flow at the exit of a centrifugal compressor impeller fluctuates periodically with lower frequency than that of the blade passing. To observe the blade-to-blade flow characteristics during rotating stall, the phases of all the sampled data sets should be adjusted to those of the reference signals with two processes, in these processes, DPLEAT (Double Phase-Locked Ensemble Averaging Technique) can be used. From these measurement and data processing techniques, the characteristics not only on the blade-to-blade flow with high frequency, but also on the periodic rotating stall flow with low frequency at the centrifugal impeller exit can be clearly observed.

Primary function of a centrifugal compressor volute is to serve the flow from the impeller and diffuser to pipe system. But losses in volutes at off-design lead to poor stage efficiency and reduction of operating range. This is largely caused by the interaction between the impeller and volute flow fields. The magnitude of distortion is increased as the operating point is away from the design point and, as a result, the interaction between the impeller and volute is stronger. The objective of present study is to find the characteristics of tile flow in the diffuser and volute of the centrifugal compressor with rectangular cross-sectional volute. The measurements are carried out in two cases with the existence and nonexistence of the volute casing. The detailed pressure is presented by comparing the experimental results obtained at two cases with each others.

An impeller is a important part of turbo-machinery. It has a set of twisted surfaces because it consists of many blades. Five-axis machining is required to produce a impeller because of interference between tool and workpiece. It can obtain good surface integrity and high productivity. This paper proposes finish cutting method for machining impeller with 5-axis machining center and optimization of cutting condition by response surface method. Firstly, cutting methods are selected by consideration of operation characteristics. Secondly, response factors are determined as cutting time and cutting error for prediction of productivity. Experiments are projected by central composite design with axis point. Thirdly, regression linear models are estimated as single surface in the leading edge and as dual surface in the hub surface cutting. Finally, cutting conditions are optimized.

This paper proposes a roughing path generation method fer machining impeller with 5-axis machining center. Traditional researches are focus on finishing for machining impeller. To achieve efficient machining, roughing method must be studied. The proposed method consists two steps : One is to select optimal tool size and tool attitude by dividing cutting area into two regions to reduce cutting time. The regions are automatically divided by character point on the geometry of impeller blade. After dividing, the tool of the optimal size is selected for each divided region. The other is avoidance of tool interference. Tool interference in cutting areas is avoided by checking the distance between tool axis vector and ruling line on blade surface or approximated plan between ruling line. Using this method, the cutting time is reduced efficiently.
