A fuel pump and turbine rotordynamic design is performed for a 75 ton thrust liquid rocket engine. A distance from the rear bearing to the turbine was considered as a design parameter for load distribution of the bearings. Asynchronous eigenvalue analysis was performed as a function of rotating speeds, turbine mass and bearing stiffness to investigate critical speed of the fuel pump and turbine. From the numerical analysis, it is found that the effect of the front bearing stiffness is negligible in the critical speed due to the large mass moment of inertia of the turbine. With the rear bearing stiffness over $2{\times}10^{8}N/m$ and the turbine mass below 20 kg, the critical speed of the fuel pump and turbine in long shaft case is at least 70 % higher than the operating speed 11,000 rpm.

마모씨일과 발란스디스크에서의 로마킨효과가 3600rpm에서 운전되는 14단 터빈펌프의 동특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 14단 터빈펌프 시제품 해석을 위한 유한요소 모델링 및 해석결과는 실험적 모드해석을 통하여 5% 이내의 오차로 검증되었다. 2. 마모링 및 밸런스 디스크의 로마킨효과를 고려하였을 때 시제품 펌프의 위험속도는 그렇지 않았을 때에 비하여 1차의 경우 약 50% 상승하나 고차의 경우는 그 영향이 미미하였다. 그런데 1차 위험속도가 운전속도와 밀접한 관련이 있으므로 설계시 로마킨효과는 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 3. 마모링 및 밸런스디스크의 설계변경에 의하여 시제품 펌프의 강성을 변화시킬 경우 위험속도가 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 이용하면 펌프의 심각한 구조변경 없이도 씨일의 적절한 설계에 의하여 임펠러 깃등의 고조화성분을 포함한 유해한 진동을 회피하는 동특성 설계가 가능하다. 향후 계속 연구사업으로서 씨일의 동특성 해석코드 개발 및 Wet Test를 통하여 본 연구결과를 검증하고 그 결과를 다단 터빈 펌프의 동특성 설게에 적용하여 고압 다단 터빈 펌프의 독자적 개발에 활용코자 한다.

Effect of rotor tip geometry on the performance of supersonic impulse turbine was investigated experimentally. Using the shrouded supersonic impulse turbine of the 30ton class liquid rocket engine turbopump as a base model, the measured performance of de-shrouded rotor was compared. The effect of nozzle-rotor overlap also has been investigated. It has been found that the magnitude of turbine efficiency is largely affected by the existence of the rotor shroud. However, measured efficiency sensitivity of the de-shrouded supersonic impulse turbine with respect to turbine tip clearance was relatively smaller than that of high performance reaction turbine. It also has been found that there exists nozzle-rotor overlap value which results optimum efficiency in supersonic impulse turbine.

The turbine system composed of a nozzle and a rotor is used to drive turbopumps while gas passes through the nozzle, potential energy is converted to kinematic energy, which forces the rotor blades to spin. In this study, an aerodynamic design of a turbine system is investigated using compressible fluid dynamic theories with some pre-determined design requirements (i.e.,pressure ratio, rotational speed, required power etc.) obtained from a liquid rocket engine (L.R.E.) system design. For simplicity of a 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 the close-type system. In this study, a partial admission nozzle is adopted to maximize the efficiency of the close-type turbine system. A design methodology of the a turbine system has been introduced. Especially, a partial admission nozzle has been designed by means of simple empirical correlations between efficiency and configuration of the nozzle. Finally, a turbine system design for a 10 ton thrust level of L.R.E is presented.

Performance test of the 75ton class turbopump turbine was performed. Using the measured turbine power characteristics in the wide-range operational conditions, variations of nozzle velocity ratio, total pressure loss, and relative flow angle to the pressure ratios and rotational speeds are quantified. Efficiency and nozzle exit pressure behavior was also investigated and compared with 30ton turbopump turbine data. A rotor blade was redesigned based on the test results and CFD analysis.

Numerical analyses of two-stage turbopump turbines were conducted. One of the candidates for the 1st rotor was selected based on the result of the numerical investigation. Besides, the effects of the stator height on the turbine performance were studied. Finally, the performance of the entire two-stage turbine was predicted by numerical calculation. The result showed that the two-stage turbine produces more specific power than a one-stage turbine.

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.

화력발전소 보일러의 급수량은 유출되는 증기량에 맞추어 자동 조절된다. 유출 증기량이 변하는 상황에서도 이에 상응하는 급수량은 실시간으로 조절되어야 한다. 증기량과 급수량에 차이가 있으면 보일러의 보유 수량과 드럼의 수위가 변하게 되므로, '드림수위를 일정하게 유지하는 것'이 급수량제어의 목표라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 실제 운용되고 있는 설비를 대상으로 고찰한 내용이며, 급수펌프 구동력으로는 중기터빈을 사용한다. 증기터빈과 급수펌프는 같은 축으로 연결되어있으며, 급수량 조절은 급수펌프의 회전속도를 제어함으로써 이루어진다. 터빈에 사응되는 증기는, 고압과 저압 2종류이며, 저압 증기가 부족한 경우에 고압증기를 사용하는 구성으로 되어있다. 증기 밸브의 유량 특성에는 비선형성을 많이 포함하고 있었다. 이 외에도 급수펌프가 갖는 비선형성을 분석하였으며, 이 특성들을 모두 종합한 '증기터빈 속도제어기 튜닝 곡선'을 제시하였다

Torque characteristics of a turbopump turbine was analyzed using the turbine performance test result. Specific torque of the subject turbine could be expressed as a linear function of corrected rotor speed at a fixed pressure ratio and it has been confirmed by the test result. It also found that corrected rotor speed-specific torque characteristics does not change anymore if the turbine pressure ratio is set bigger than a certain value. Using the turbine torque characteristics and pyro-starter performance test results, rotational speed development behavior of the turbopump was predicted. Prediction revealed that the lap time reaching 50% of turbopump design speed is less than 0.7 second. Effect of the thermal loss between pyro-starter and turbopump was negligible.
