In this study, we perform a series of aero-thermo-mechanical analyses to predict the running-tip clearance and the effects of impeller deformation on the performance using a centrifugal compressor. During operation, the impeller deformation due to a combination of the centrifugal force, aerodynamic pressure and the thermal load results in a non-uniform tip clearance profile. For the prediction, we employ the one-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method using CFX 14.5 and ANSYS. The predicted running tip clearance shows a non-uniform profile over the entire flow passage. In particular, a significant reduction of the tip clearance height occurred at the leading and trailing edges of the impeller. Because of the reduction of the tip clearance, the tip leakage flow decreased by 19.4%. In addition, the polytrophic efficiency under operating conditions increased by 0.72%. These findings confirm that the prediction of the running tip clearance and its impact on compressor performance is an important area that requires further investigation.

Clutch disc 의 facing은 사용할 때마다 마찰로 인하여 마멸된다. 마멸함에 따라 clutch cover의 구조상 clutch cover의 release lever가 올라와 clutch release bearing (thrust bearing)과의 간 극이 작아져서 드디어 이 간극이 없어지게 되면 release lever가 clutch release bearing을 누르게 되어 평상에도 clutch가 절반 정도로 떨어지는 상태로까지 됨으로써 clutch의 완전한 연결을 할 수 없어 slip이 일어나게 된다. 이상과 같은 문제점들을 해소하기 위하여 clutch의 control system을 수시로 조정하지 않으면 안되며 이러한 번거로움을 피하기 위하여 release lever가 올라옴으로써 release bearing과의 간극이 작아져서 자동적으로 일정한 간극을 유지하여 clutch의 slip을 방지하고 clutch기구의 내구성을 향상시키기 위한 것이 무조정식 release cylinder, 혹은 clutch adjuster이다. 이에 대한 신형식 두 종류의 구조, 작동 및 특징에 대하여 해설하여 본다.

Mechanical tappet is used to reduce the cost and friction loss compared with hydraulic tappet. But the mechanical tappet doesn't have the ability to control the clearance between cams and valves and is selected by measuring the distance between valves and cams in order to minimize the clearance of valves by considering thermal expansion of valves. So, the valve clearance is nearly zero after fully warming-up periods, but there is valve clearance before warming-up. Especially at cold condition, the clearance is relatively large and can bring about some problems. In this study, the valve motions like lift, velocity, seating velocity and bouncing height were studied at various valve clearance conditions by experiment and analysis. As the valve clearance increases, the ramp area becomes shorten and it causes the valve train motion to have bad effects.

This paper presents the performance test result of the 30-ton class turbopump turbine. Test has been conducted using high pressure cold air, The turbine overall performance has been measured for various pressure ratio and rotational speed settings. The nozzle-rotor clearance effect on turbine performance also has been tested for the four kinds of the nozzle-rotor clearance values. We found that turbine efficiency rated 51.1% at its design velocity ratio and pressure ratio of 13.5. We also found that turbine efficiency can be increased by 3.5% for approximately 1mm decrement of the nozzle-rotor clearance from its nominal value.

A cabinet-door integrated finite element model for a built-in side-by-side refrigerator with an ice dispenser and home bar was constructed, and its deformation was analyzed by ANSYS. As loads, the food load in the shelf and baskets, and thermal load occurring during the normal operation condition were considered. From results of the analyses, the door height difference (DHD) and door flatness difference (DFD) between the two doors, and the increase in the gap of the door gasket, which affects the sealing of cool air in the cabinet, were derived. As results of an evaluation of the differences, the DHD and DFD under the assembled condition satisfied the acceptance criteria of the manufacturer. The food and thermal loads increased the DHD and DFD due to thermal deformation, and the DFD increased significantly. In addition, the increase in the gap of door gasket located between the cabinet and doors was derived from the results of displacements under the food and thermal loads. The evaluation showed that the maximum increase in gap appeared at the left edge of the freezing compartment gasket, which satisfied the acceptance criteria of the manufacturer.

In this study, the expansion, stress, and operating clearance of bearing elements during operation are observed using the inner/outer ring temperature test data of a 3.0×10⁶ DN-class roller bearing. The operating clearance characteristics of inner-/outer-ring cooling (IORC) bearings are compared to those of inner-ring cooling (IRC) bearings. For IRC bearings, the thermal expansion of the outer ring is the most important factor in clearance variation. As a result, the operating clearance is less than the initial clearance of 61 ㎛, and the operating clearance decreases to 0.5 ㎛ at 25,500 rpm. Conversely, the temperature of the outer ring of IORC bearings is lower than that of IRC bearings, so the operating clearance is kept smaller. When the coolant flow rate to the outer ring is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 L/min, the temperature difference between the inner and outer rings is minimized and the operating clearance is maintained at a significantly lower level than IRC bearings. Small operating clearances are expected to be effective in reducing cage slip and skid damage in roller bearings. The results and analysis procedures of this study can be utilized to design of bearing clearance, lubricant flow rate, and assembled interference in the early design stage of aerospace roller bearings.

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.

It is very important that establishing the valve train equations and representing the behavior of the valve train parts. To maintain the specific efficiency of running engine, the cam profile of valve train has more specific influence on the adequate behavior of the valve train than a valve clearance, heat-resistance and durability of parts. The polynomial cam, the multipol cam and polydyne cam profie are widely used to represent cam behaviour. In this study, using polydyne cam design profile equations which is more adequate for representing high speed engine, the geometrical modeling and mathmatical variable analysis are established to analysis the valve behaviour.

A numerical model (SK-EST) for estimating hydraulic conductivity using monitoring data of underground LPG storage cavern was developed. The model calculates hydraulic conductivity from matrix equation which is established from the distribution of hydraulic potential. To verify the applicability of this model, an inverse analysis was performed using the monitoring data of pressure cell of an operating underground LPG storage cavern. And also using the water pressure parker test data which were obtained to look over the operation capability of pressure cell, conductivity variation with depth was estimated using the developed numerical model (SK-EST) and was compared with in situ results.
