Present paper describes on/off design performance analysis of an 74KW industrial turboshaft gasturbine engine. Procedures to match between the compressor, combustor and turbine have been incorporated into the developed program satisfying compatibility requirement of flow and work and ratational speed. The validity of the performance results from the developed program are yet to be proved through performance experiments of the resultant engine, but comparison of the present results with those from "GASCAN(Thermoflow:America) under similar mass inlet flow, pressure ratio, and speed condition show good agreement despite present results underpredict 6-10% for power and up to 3% in efficiency, respectively.

Solid propellant gas generators (SPGG) play a role as a turbopump starter in liquid propellant propulsion systems by supplying pressurized gas to power turbines for engine start. For such a purpose, the propellants should burn with a relative low flame temperature and the combustion gas should not contain corrosive constituents such as chlorine compounds. In accordance with these requirements, stabilized AN-based propellants have been usually used as the most appropriate oxidizer for propellant compositions. However, the burning area of the propellant intends to increase to satisfy the required mass flux because of its low burning rate. Consequently the burning area incensement brings on the SPGG size augmentation. A flow restriction such as filters is applied to decrease the SPGG size by rising up the combustion pressure resulting in increasing the burning rate. The feasibility of the size reduction of SPGG by the employment of filters have been studied. The preliminary results of this study show that the considerable reduction of SPGG size would be achievable just by installing a filter with relatively high pressure loss coefficient.

A turbopump system composed of two pumps and one turbine is considered. The turbine composed of a nozzle and a rotor is used to drive the pumps while gas passes through the nozzle and potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which forces the rotor blades to spin. In this study, an aerodynamic design of turbine system is investigated with some pre-determined design requirements (i.e., pressure ratio, rotational speed, required power, etc.) following Liquid Rocket Engine (L.R.E.) system specifications. For simplicity of turbine system, impulse-type rotor blades for open-type L.R.E. have been chosen. Usually, the open-type turbine system requires low mass flow-rate compared to close-type system. In this study, a partial admission nozzle is adopted to maximize the efficiency of the open-type turbine system. A design methodology of turbine system was introduced. Especially, partial admission nozzle was designed by means of simple empirical correlations between efficiency and configuration of the nozzle. Finally, a turbine system design is presented for a 10 ton thrust level of L.R.E.

The radial turbine has been successfully applied to the systems which request relatively small output compared with the axial turbine, and has low manufacturing cost due to it's small size and simple structure. Recently, the researches on the development and the efficiency maximization of the radial turbine are in progress corresponding with the trend toward miniaturization in turbo machinery and the development of small dispersed power generation systems. The radial turbine is to be applied to our turbo refrigerator of which engine speed is 26,000 rpm and turbine efficiency is $88\%$. Also, as a heat exchanger is accepted instead of a combustor in our turbo refrigerator, the design of radial turbine has been performed to be appropriate to the circumstance of low temperature air, not high temperature combustor gas, into the turbine inlet . This radial turbine is being developed in consideration with not only the aero-dynamic performance but also the simplification of manufacturing and integration, and the durability at operating condition. This paper refer to the performance evaluation about the radial turbine design by comparison with consulting from Russia and the our evaluation about various design factors which are considered in aero-dynamic design process.

고진공 펌프 국산화의 일환으로 터보분자 펌프와 크라이오 펌프 개발이 진행 중이다. 크라이오 펌프 개발은 기계연구원, 우성진공(주), 국민대학교가 연합해서 수행하고 있다. 올해 9월말에 끝나는 1단계 마지막 3차 년도에는 두 고진공 펌프 모두 시제품을 완성하고 성능을 입증해야 한다. 이를 위해 고진공 펌프 개발과 별도로 진공 펌프 종합특성평가 시스템 개발도 표준과학연구원 주도로 진행되고 있는데 크라이오 펌프 평가 시스템은 원자력연구원이 담당하고 있다. 완성된 크라이오 펌프 성능평가 장치는 상온 기준 5${\times}$10-11 mbar의 기저압력을 보이고 있어서 초고진공 영역에서 크라이오 펌프 운전성능을 평가할 수 있는 준비를 마쳤다. 현재 크라이오 펌프 냉동기는 전반적으로 목표 설계치에 근접한 냉각성능을 나타내고 있는데 예를 들면 2차 냉각단 냉각능력이 10 K, 10 W로 대형 크라이오 펌프를 제작하기에도 충분하다. 활성탄 어레이도 여러 모델들을 자작하여 배기성능을 시험해 보았으므로, 최종적으로 3,600 L/s 급에 적합한 어레이를 만들고 이를 개발된 냉동기에 얹고 열차폐와 몸통을 씌워 펌프로서의 운전성능을 평가하는 일이 남아있다. 시제품은 상용품과 달리 기기가 차지하는 공간이 크고 부대설비가 복잡해서 운전성능 평가 장치에 부착해서 실험하기 어려울 수도 있으므로 기계연구원 현장에서 진공 게이지와 기체도입구만 부착한 마구리 플랜지를 펌프 흡기구 위에 달고 간이로 배기속도를 측정하는 것도 고려하고 있다. 이 경우는 표준용기를 사용할 때보다 배기속도가 과대평가되므로 이를 보정해 주는 방안을 마련해 놓아야 한다.

In this study, sand casting process was applied to manufacture a large aluminum turbo-type fan used for tank powerpack. To apply the sand casting method, the turbo fan was reverse engineered, and after designing three gating systems, the optimal gating system design was selected by performing casting simulation. In the case of the bottom up-gating system, there is a significant temperature loss of the molten alloy during blade filling. When the molten alloy is completely filled into the sand mold, the blade upper tip and front shroud are below the liquidus temperature. In the case of the top down-gating system, molten alloy scattering occurs, but the temperature loss while the blade is filled is smaller than that of the bottom up type. And after the inflow of molten alloy into the mold is completed, the blade upper tip and front shroud are higher than the liquidus temperature. A sand mold was manufactured with the top down-gating system and the casting process was performed. The fan was made perfectly in appearance without any unfilled parts.

Performance tests of a liquid-oxygen pump were carried out using liquid nitrogen (LN2) as a working fluid in a cryogenic turbopump test facility in Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). The tests were performed at 30-55% of the design rotational speed, and the results were compared with those from a water test. The experimental results confirmed the similarity of the hydraulic performance, which allows the prediction of the pump performance at a design rotational speed of 20,000 rpm. The overall cavitation performance of the pump in the cryogenic environment was better than that in the water environment for all ranges of flow rates and rotational speeds. Critical cavitation number at the design flow rate was determined as 0.012 from the cryogenic test, and as 0.024 from the water test. The improved cavitation performance is due to the thermodynamic effect in cryogenic fluids.

Recently, KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute, Korea) and CIAM(Central Institute of Aviation Motors, Russia) have made an effort in developing a centrifugal compressor for a small gas turbine engine as part of a collaboration program. This compressor has been designed as a sub-component for an axial-centrifugal compression system for a small turbo-shaft engine aiming adiabatic efficiency higher than 0.81. The geometrical design requirement imposes restrictions to have high inlet hub-to-tip ratio and inlet swirl flow. In this study, the compressor has been designed using the generalized experimental data established from those compressors having pressure ratio of 3.7 to 5. From this generalized empirical correlation, desirable values of design parameters could be obtained. Subsequently, quasi-3D and 3D viscous flow analyses have been performed to ensure the adopted methodology. It is expected that the centrifugal compressor provides total pressure ratio of 4.89, corrected mass flow-rate of 1.64kg/sec, and adiabatic efficiency of 0.815 with inlet hub-to-tip ratio of 0.641. These relatively high total pressure ratio and inlet hub-to-tip ratio are the main distinctive features in this design. Besides, one of the main features of this centrifugal compressor is the adoption of a double-row bladed diffuser to effectively decelerate the transonic flow leaving the impeller. The compressor has been manufactured and will be tested in the near future.

In turbomachinery rotor, there are small differences in the structural and/or geometrical properties of individual blades, which are referred to as blade mistuning. Mistuning effects of the forced response of bladed disks can be extremely large as often reported in many studies. In this paper, the pattern optimization of intentional mistuning for bladed disks considering with intentional mistuning intensity effect is the focus of the present investigation. More specifically, the class of intentionally mistuned disks considered here is limited, for cost reasons, to arrangements of two types of blades (A and B, say) and Genetic Algorithm is used to optimize the arrangement of these blades around the disk to reduce the forced response of blade with intentional mistuning intensity levels.
