기존의 천연가스 가스터빈 시스템을 IGCC 발전소에 적용함에 있어 야기되는 탈설계점효과를 고려할 수 있는 압축기 성능곡선의 예측방법을 제안하였다. 압축기 성능해석방법으로는 익렬요소방법에 전압력손실, 유동편차각 모델들을 결합하여 사용하였으며, 본 방법에 의한 예측결과와 실제 압축기 성능실험결과를 비교하였다. 예측결과가 다양한 압축기 운전조건에 대해 시험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, 이를 통해 본 예측방법이 IGCC 공정설계 및 성능평가시 가스터빈 탈설계점 효과를 분석할 수 있는 기본 모듈로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

원자력발전소에는 원자로냉각재펌프와 같이 원심펌프가 많이 쓰이고 대부분의 펌프가 탈설계점에서 운전되고 있다. 이러한 펌프의 성능을 예측하거나 개선하고자 할 때 성능해석코드는 매우 유용하다. 본 연구에서는 기존성능해석프로그램의 문제점인 탈설계점에서의 성능예측 정확도가 많이 떨어지는 점을 개선하고 기존해석방법론을 검토하여 유량변화에 관계없이 일정한 값을 갖는 Slip factor의 문제점을 보안, 유량에 따라 적절히 보상하는 Slip factor를 고려하였고 각종 손실구조 및 적절한 손실모델을 도출하여 새로운 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 이 프로그램을 이용한 계산결과를 실험자료 및 기존의 상용코드 해석결과와 비교한 결과, 극저유량운전범위를 제외하고는 전유량 범위에 걸쳐 매우 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

In this study, a program for the off-design performance prediction of multi-stage axial-compressors is developed based on stage-stacking method. To account for the increased losses at off-design conditions, generalized performance curve is applied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the choice of generalized performance curve and stator exit angle. For this purpose, we tested various generalized performance curves and stator exit angles. In conclusion, Muir's pressure coefficient curve gives a good prediction results regardless of the efficiency curve for a low-stage compressors. On the other hand, for high-stage compressors, The combination of Muir's pressure coefficient curve and Stone's efficiency curve gives a optimistic results. Stator exit angle has a small effect on overall performance curve.

High reliability and minimization of operating cost are important problems for both engine-manufacturer and user in operation of gas-turbine engine, for which various performance diagnostics including a fault identification have been a major issue nowadays. Performance estimation in the off-design conditions, however, encounters problems of large errors and of poor convergence because of much required data to be evaluated. In this study, a diagnostics code of engine performance has been developed by using GPA(Gas Path Analysis). Quantitative performance deterioration of the turbo-shaft engine for SUAV has been estimated with altitude variation and is compared with that obtained by GSP code.

In this study. an off-design performance prediction program for centrifugal pumps is developed. To estimate the losses in an impeller flow passage, two-zone model and two-element in series(TEIS) model are used. At impeller exit. the mixing process occurs with an increase in entropy. In two-zone model. there are both primary zone and secondary zone for an isentropic core flow and an average of all non-isentropic streamtubes respectively. The level of the core flow diffusion in an impeller was calculated by using TEIS model. While internal losses in an impeller an automatically estimated by using the above models, some empirical correlations far estimating external losses. far example, disk friction loss, recirculation loss and leakage loss are used. In order to analyze the vaneless diffuser flow. the momentum equations for the radial and tangential directions are used and solved together with continuity and energy equations.

In general, the choking phenomenon occurs by flow acceleration for a turbine at high pressure ratio condition. In choking condition, total pressure ratio increases without mass flow rate variation. It is hard to predict choking characteristics by using conventional meanline analysis which used mass flow inlet boundary condition. In the present study, the algorithm for predicting choking point is developed to solve the problem. Moreover, performance estimation algorithm after choking is presented by reflecting the flow behaviour of flow expansion at choked nozzle or rotor. The analysis results are compared with 3D CFD analysis and experimental data to validate present method.

In general, the choking phenomenon occurs due to the flow acceleration of a turbine under high pressure-ratio. During choking, the total pressure ratio increases without any variation in the mass flow rate. It is difficult to predict choking characteristics by using conventional meanline analysis, which utilizes mass flow inlet boundary condition. In this study, an algorithm for predicting the choking point is developed to solve this problem. In addition, a performance estimation algorithm is presented to estimate the performance after choking, based on the flow behavior of flow expansion at the choked nozzle or rotor. The analysis results are compared with 3D CFD analysis and experimental data to validate this method.

The effect of built-in volume ratio of expander on the performance of a two-loop Rankine cycle system for engine waste heat recovery of vehicle has been investigated. In the case of positive displacement expander in the various operating condition of the vehicle, it can operate in both under-expansion and over-expansion conditions. Therefore, the analysis of off-design performance for the expander is very important. Furthermore, the volume and weight of the expander as well as the efficiency must be considered in the optimization of the expander. This study shows that the built-in volume ratio of expander causing under-expansion at a target condition is more desirable considering the off-design performance and size of the expander, based on the simple modeling of off-design operation of the expander.

An analysis program to simulate the operation of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system was set up, and system operation with variations in the working conditions of various components (especially the thermal management system) was simulated. The entire system included a PEMFC stack and balance-of-plant components such as an air-supply unit, a fuel-supply unit, and a heat-management unit (cooling system). Thermodynamic models of all components were made to evaluate the design performance of the entire system, and then off-design models were set up to simulate the operation of the entire system under arbitrary working conditions. A parametric study was carried out to examine the effects of varying the operating conditions (especially the ambient conditions and the operating conditions of the cooling system) on the operation and performance of the entire system.
