In this study, modeling and numerical simulations has been performed to investigate performance characteristics of constant power regulator system for swash plate type axial piston pump. The commercial numerical simulation software, AMESim was applied for analyzing the dynamic behavior of constant power regulator system of swash plate axial piston pump. The validity of simulation model of constant power regulator system is verified by comparing simulation results with experiments. Also, the behavior of main components of constant power regulator system such as spool, sleeve and counterbalance piston is investigated using the results of computer simulation.

The steel impeller placed in a water pump has been studied with the aim to understand corrosion phenomena on the surface responsible for reducing the pumping efficiency of water inside cooling system. This preliminary experiment includes a period (over 5 months) observation with a powered microscope and weight measurements. The experiments are carried out at different conditions of water and mixtures of water and coolants, based on the water contents of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% water (pure tap water). From the visual results of microscopy, most of the steel surface is fitted and clear rusty or corrosion phenomena are noticeable as time goes. In addition, the weight loss of the sample specimen submerged in the water is linearly increased, whereas those in the mixtures of water initially be constant and then gain weight linearly.

Jet pumps are used in a great number of engineering applications. In the present study, jet shapes, mixing chamber shapes, and numerical methods for predicting the performance of an annular-type jet pump are investigated to determine the optimal turbulence model. The flow fields are simulated by solving the momentum and the continuity equations with the standard ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ and the RNG ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ turbulence models at different Reynolds numbers. After that, they are compared with the corresponding experimental data to determine the optimal model. Next, various calculations are conducted to find an optimal shape using the selected turbulence model. The study shows us that the RNG ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ model predicts the performance more exactly, and also shows that the most effective performance can be achieved with $12^{\circ}$ reducing angle and 130mm throat length.

Experimental and theoretical researches about jet pump have been carried out by many researchers. Jet pump can be used for the transportation of solid materials, farm produce, and fishes. It is the purpose of this paper to seek optimal multi nozzle shape of the annular jet pump. Experiments were done for several jet nozzle areas, jet nozzle arrays and jet nozzle lengths. Water was used for both the primary fluid and secondary fluid. The efficiency curves for the annular jet pump having multi nozzles are presented in this paper.

The characteristics of center-driver jet pump which have multi-nozzle were studied in this research. Jet nozzles are connected outside of the bend rather than inserted in the bend in order to transport solid materials or fish without any harm. Jet pumps having one nozzle, two nozzles, four nozzles, and sixteen nozzles were tested in this study. The efficiencies and performances of jet pumps were studied for several nozzles shape, for three different mixing chamber shapes, for two suction area shapes. All the efficiency curves for these cases are presented in this paper.

Annular jet pump can be used for the transportation of solid materials and fish. The effect of mixing chamber on the characteristics of annular jet pump is sought in this paper. Experiments were done for several reducing angles of mixing chamber, and for several throat area. Water was used for both the primary fluid and secondary fluid. A vortex was observed for the straight mixing chamber, but it was not observed for the mixing chamber whose reducing angle is $18^{\circ}$ or higher. The efficiency curves for the annular jet pump are presented in this paper, showing the annular jet pump which has 240 reducing angle and $0.611{\sim}0.73$ value of At/As. is most effective among the tested several annular jet pumps.

최근 임상용 LVAD의 계속된 발전으로 인해 환자들의 삶이 연장되었다. 그러나 LVAD가 환자의 삶을 연장하였지만, 우심실 심부전증을 야기 시켰고, 결론적으로 환자들은 RVAD가 필요하게 되었다. 이러한 이유로 장시간 사용할 수 있는 BVAD의 도입이 요구 되어졌다. 최근 BVAD에 관련된 연구들을 보면 장시간 사용을 위한 원심 BVAD의 디자인과 BVAD에서의 누수 정도를 파악하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BVAD의 누수를 파악하기 위한 속도 데이터와 용적당 흐름 비율의 계산을 CFD를 사용하여 해석적으로 조사하고자 하였다. CFD의 해석 결과 틈새부위의 회전수가 증가 할수록 혈액의 흐름을 방해하는 역류가 증가하고 유량도 줄어들어, 틈새부위의 누수량이 회전속도의 변화에 의존된다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the cause of the discrepancy of the inlet and outlet flow of the lubricating oil feed pump was analyzed by the flow measurement and the analysis of the flow network. At first, we thought that the flow difference was induced by a leak in the middle of the flow network. But, through the flow measurement using ultrasonic flow meter and the performance analysis of the pump, we knew that the cause of the flow difference was due to a drop in efficiency of the pump according to the pressure drop of the outlet. Also, we knew that the shape of the piping had no effect on the efficiency of the pump.

유압베인펌프는 토출유량이 많고 소형으로 동력밀도는 높으나 토출압력면에스는 피스톤식 펌프에 뒤지기 때문에 발생압력의 고압화에 대한 연구가 계속되어 왔다. 유압장치의 경제적인 압력으로서 $300kgf/cm^2$가 제시되어 있는 가운데, 유압베인펌프의 고압화의 연구가 진행중에 있는 점, 또한 최근들어 에너지 절약의 일환으로 펌프의 수명연장 문제가 거론되어 지고 있는 점, 물에 타기 어려운 난연성유압 작동유를 사용할 경우 마찰증대 및 마모성능이 저하하는 점 등의 이유에서 유압베인 펌프의 마찰, 윤활문제가 중요시 되어지고 있다. 특히 펌프의 체적효율을 높이는 것과 마찰, 마모를 저하시키는 것과는 서로 상반된 관계에 놓여있기 때문에 문제의 해결에 어려움을 갖고 있다. 이와같은 모순을 해결하기 위해서는 베인과 캠링사이의 슬라이딩부분의 윤활상태를 파악하지 않으면 안된다. 그러나 베인의 선단부에는 10-20ms의 짧은 시간동안에 수백기압의 압력이 변화하기 때문에 지금까지 확실한 작용력의 파악이 어려워 이 분야의 윤활상태 파악에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 베인과 캠링간의 윤활상태를 윤활공학적 관점에서 보면 변동하중 상태에서의 슬라이딩 탄성유체윤활상태 또는 혼합윤활상태에 있는 것으로 판단되어지는데, 이와같은 여러가지 어려운 조건 때문에 윤활상태를 파악하는데, 어려운점이 뒤따르게 된다. 위와 같은 배경에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 유압베인펌프를 모델화하여 변동하중상태에서 실험이 가능한 장치를 제작, 사용하여 베인 선단 슬라이딩부분의 윤활상태를 파악하였다.
