A rotor blade is an important device that converts kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy. Rotor blades affect the power performance, energy conversion efficiency, and loading and dynamic stability of wind turbines. Therefore, considering the characteristics of a wind turbine system is important for achieving optimal blade design. This study examined the general blade design procedure for a wind turbine system and aero-structure design results for a 2-MW class wind turbine blade (KR40.1b). As suggested above, a rotor blade cannot be designed independently, because its ultimate and fatigue loads are highly dependent on system operating conditions. Thus, a reference 2-MW wind turbine system was also developed for the system integrated load calculations. All calculations were performed in accordance with IEC 61400-1 and the KR guidelines for wind turbines.

The performance of gas turbines is decreased as their operating hours increase. Fouling in the axial compressor is one of main reasons for the performance degradation of gas turbine. Airborne particles entering with air at the inlet into compressor adhere to the blade surface and result in the change of the blade shape, which is closely and sensitively related to the compressor performance. It is difficult to exactly analyze the mechanism of the compressor fouling because the growing process of the fouling is very slow and the dimension of the fouled depth on the blade surface is very small compared with blade dimensions. In this study, an improved analytic method to predict the motion of particles in compressor cascades and their deposition onto blade is proposed. Simulations using proposed method and their comparison with field data demonstrate the feasibility of the model. It if found that some important parameters such as chord length, solidity and number of stages, which represent the characteristics of compressor geometry, are closely related to the fouling phenomena. And, the particle sloe and patterns of their distributions are also Important factors to predict the fouling phenomena in the axial compressor of the gas turbine.

In recent years, the crisis of energy is growing seriously and also the contamination of ecology has been reverberated as international problem. The social concerns on energy crisis have been growing for the last several years and also the interests in new and renewable energy have been increased. Therefore, in order to solving these problems, as solution of one, this paper is investigated using the aeration system at the fish farm, etc from nature energy such as wind power. This study suggests the fundamental data of designing for these similar apparatus and examines the parameters of wind velocity and wind receiving area. Especially, the water outlet position was mainly investigated with optimum outlet angle of wind pump.

As a part of the development of aircraft gas turbines, combustion performance tests have been conducted in the single combustor sector. The effects of change in the amount of air supplied to the main combustion zone to the performance of the combustor, such as a pollutant emission, a liner temperature distribution and an exit temperature patterns, were studied. Emissions of CO and NOx increased with the main air-ratio and exit temperature pattern was improved. When changing the pattern of the dilution holes, it was shown that the temperature patterns on the exit plane of the combustor and the surface of liner changed depending on the main flame structure and mixing with diluent air. These observations will be applied to combustor liner designs to improve combustor durability and emissions reduction performance.

A genetic algorithm (GA) has been employed to optimize the major design variables of the liquid rocket engine. Mass flow rate to the main thrust chamber, mass flow rate to the gas generator and chamber pressure have been selected as design variables. The target engine is the open gas generator cycle using the LO2/RP-1 propellant. The objective function of design optimization is to maximize the specific impulse with condition of energy balance between the pump and the turbine. The properties of the combustion chamber have been obtained from CEA2. Pump & turbine efficiencies and properties of the gas generator have been modeled mathematically from reference data. The result shows 3~4% errors for the specific impulse and 2~6% errors for the pump power of the gas generator cycle compared to references.

Measurements of temperature fields and film-cooling effectiveness have been conducted for a shower-head film cooling on the leading edge of a blunt body, which simulates a first-stage turbine stator. In this study, three injection cases are employed for an average blowing ratio based on freestream velocity, M, of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. Two (Case 1), four (Case 2) and six (Case 3) rows of normal holes are symmetrically drilled on the three tested circular-cylinder leading edges. The measurements show that regardless of M, the film-cooling effectiveness increases as the injection row is situated at farther downstream location. In Case 1, the film-cooling effectiveness is highest for M = 0.5 and lowest for M = 1.5. On the contrary, in Case 3, the film-cooling effectiveness is highest for M = 1.0 and lowest for M = 0.5. When M = 0.5, the film coverage by the first row of the injection holes deteriorates as the number of the injection row increases. In particular, the film-cooling effectiveness due to the injection through the first row of the holes in Case 3, has a nearly zero value.

산업경제구조의 변화로 경험이 풍부한 전문가들이 은퇴하고 경험이 적은 직원들이 그들의 업무를 대신하는 구조로 조직이 변화하고 있다. 동시에 녹색성장시대의 도래로 화석연료를 사용하는 설비에 대한 투자가 줄면서 점차로 노후화되는 경향을 보이고 있어 불필요한 운전 과도현상에서 기인된 극단적인 손상은 설비자체 및 전력공급계통 전체에 치명적이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 석탄화력발전소 제어 시스템은 이러한 사안들을 안정적으로 이끌어 나가기 위한 중요한 요소로 저비용 고효율 발전소 유지를 위해 중점적으로 발전시켜 나가야 할 부분이다. 본 논문은 석탄화력발전소의 주구성요소인 보일러와 터빈을 제어하는 마스터 제어기의 복잡한 로직을 모델 기반의 간단한 로직으로 개발하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 실제 발전소에 적용하기 위한 내용을 기술하였다. 실제 발전소는 많은 위험요소들을 안고 있기 때문에 시뮬레이션에서 나타나는 급격한 제어동작을 수용할 수 없을 경우도 있으며, 실제 다른 많은 변수들이 제어불안정 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 차후 실제 적용한 결과는 예측제어의 사용과 같은 제어시스템 향상을 위한 개발과 운영효율 향상에 사용될 것이다. 튜닝 과정에서의 연구결과는 시간절약과 제어부분 결함제거 등 직원들의 전문지식 향상 등에 도움을 주게 될 것이다.

When four operation parameters are adjusted, the temperature of reheater steam is around the designed operator temperature and the decrease of reheater spray flow rate is achieved. As a result, the decrease of thermal efficiency also can be prevented. To keep the reheater exit temperature on the designed value and decrease the use of reheater spray flow rate, the control of four operation parameters is considered and applied in the operation of a thermal power plant.

The effects of hole expansion angle and the arrangement of nozzles on a film cooling system for a turbine-blade-shaped surface were experimentally investigated. Liquid crystal with flue-temperature correlation and an image processing system were employed to evaluate surface temperature. Distributions of cooling effectiveness were then presented to figure out the change of heat transfer characteristics with different geometric conditions of cooling-holes. It was found thats the averaged cooling efficiency on the suction surface was maximum with 10 degree of the cooling hole expansion angle. It was also shown that the averaged cooling efficiency on the pressure surface and the averaged cooling efficiency for dual array case were not affected by the hole expansion angle.
