The objective of this study is to design and manufacture a fuel pump with the plunger diameter of 4 mm and stroke of 7 mm that can be mounted in a small single-cylinder four-stroke agricultural diesel engine, and to investigate the performance characteristics of the pump. The combustion pressure in a cylinder was reproduced by forming the back pressure of 1, 6, 11, 16 and 21 bar with a nitrogen gas in the home-manufactured modeling cylinder. In the experiment, the discharge pressure was measured at the spot of 1 cm away from the discharge port of a developed fuel pump. The delivery pressure and delivery flow rate were measured at the spot of 30 cm away from the discharge port of the pump, and the pump efficiency was calculated. The pump motor speed was changed from 600 to 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 rpm. It is found that the delivery feed rate of fuel pump is increased as the rotational speed is raised, and is decreased as the back pressure, compression pressure in the cylinder, is increased. Also, the pump efficiency is reduced as the rotational speed and back pressure are increased.

Turbopump test for a 30-ton-thrust liquid rocket engine was carried out using real-propellant. Liquid oxygen, kerosene, cold hydrogen gas were used for the oxidizer pump, the fuel pump, and the turbine, respectively. The turbopump was reliably operated at the design and off-design conditions and the performance requirements were satisfied, which implies that the turbopump development at the engine subsystem level is successfully accomplished in the point of performance validation. This paper presents the results of a test where the turbopump was run for 75 seconds at three operating modes. In terms of performance characteristics of pumps and turbine, the results of turbopump assembly test using real-propellant showed a good agreement with those of the turbopump component tests using simulant working fluid.

A Non-Evaporable Getter(NEG) pump was fabricated using Zr-V-Fe alloy modules to obtain $10^{-9}$ Pa range pressures. Pumping performances and activation characteristics were investigated and the pumping speeds for hydrogen, deuterium and carbon monoxide gases of the NEG pump were measured. And hydrogen desorption characteristics were examined during activation at $450^{\circ}C$. Futhermore the vacuum performance was compared with those of other high vacuum pumps as turbo-molecular pump, sputter-ion pump, and cryo pump by analyzing the residual gases of the system.

The fuel pump mounted on the engine in the vehicle is consist of the outer and inter rotors, and which inhales fuel from the inlet port and supplies it to the outlet port. In this study, it is carried out the analysis and test of the fuel pump with rotors to evaluate its performance. It is analyzed the flow characteristics of the fuel pumps with numerical simulation in their inlet-outlet angles of 0, 15, 30 degree. After it is determined whether it has the best flow characteristics, its vibration characteristics is analyzed. The flow rate of a pump in the inlet-outlet angles of 0 degree is 191.0 LPH(Liter per hour) which is the largest. and its vibration is calculated to be 0.866 $^m/s^2$. In the results of vibration test, it is known that the vibration of the research pump is smaller than that of the existing one. And the natural frequencies of two pumps is nearly same. Therefore it is known that the performance of the research pump is superior.

고도의 진공 환경을 요구하는 반도체 생산 라인에 적용되는 고진공 펌프는 주로 복합 분자펌프와 크라이오 펌프가 사용되고 있다. 이 중 크라이오 펌프는 극저온으로 냉각되는 냉각판에 기체 분자를 응축 또는 흡착시켜 기체를 제거하는 방식으로 복합 분자 펌프로 무게가 가볍고 증발 온도가 낮은 네온, 수소, 헬륨 기체 제거에 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 상용화된 크라이오 펌프에 적용되는 GM 극저온 냉동기를 대체하기 위한 2단 GM형 맥동관 냉동기를 개발하여 기초 성능 시험을 수행하였다. 1단과 2단 모두 U-자형 형상으로 제작되었으며, 압력과 질량 유동 사이의 위상 조절을 위하여 오리피스 밸브와 이중 유입 밸브를 사용하였다. 개발된 맥동관 냉동기의 냉각 성능 목표는 1단(80 K)과 2단(20 K)에서 각각 45 W와 5 W이다. 기초 시험에서는 위상 조절용 밸브들의 개도와 작동 조건에 대한 냉각 특성과 부하 특성 시험을 수행하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 로터리 밸브 및 위상 조절 기구의 배치로 인해 고온부 형상이 복잡한 맥동관 냉동기를 크라이오 펌프로의 적용 편의성을 위하여 고온부 외형 구조를 단순화하였으며, 개발된 맥동관 냉동기와 기존에 크라이오 펌프에 적용되는 GM 극저온 냉동기를 비교, 고찰하였다.

An analysis was conducted to predict the hydraulic performance of a reactor coolant pump (RCP) of SMART at the off-design as well as design points. In order to reduce the analysis time efficiently, a single passage containing an impeller and a diffuser was considered as the computational domain. A stage scheme was used to perform a circumferential averaging of the flux on the impeller-diffuser interface. The pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the pump was determined and was used to compute the head, efficiency, and break horse power (BHP) of a scaled-down model under conditions of steady-state incompressible flow. The predicted curves of the hydraulic performance of an RCP were similar to the typical characteristic curves of a conventional mixed-flow pump. The complex internal fluid flow of a pump, including the internal recirculation loss due to reverse flow, was observed at a low flow rate.

Since LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) fuel supply system has an advantage of low emission characteristics, many studies have been conducted. In spite of the advantage of LPG supply system, a higher vapor pressure and lower viscosity than diesel or gasoline fuel may cause unstable running of fuel pump by the deterioration in lubrication performance and chemical reaction with rubber parts than that of diesel and gasoline fuel. Therefore its physical properties can cause the deterioration of durability. In this research, we developed an external type LPG pump which has the advantage of the price competitiveness and the convenient maintenance for LPLi system. The experiments were carried out in order to assess characteristics of the external type fuel pump at different fuel composition and temperature. As a result, there aren't any differences between internal and external type pump performance. It is observed that the same level of efficiency was maintained for both pumps as flow rate was increased with higher fuel temperature and more contents of propane in the fuel. And the pressure difference in LPLi system is maintained at constant with the various fuel compositions and temperatures due to their own characteristics of fuel supply system.

본 연구에서는 난방운전시 저온 및 착상 조건에서 히트펌프 칠러의 성능을 조사하고자 하였다. 실험은 항온항습 기능을 가진 공기엔탈피 방식의 칼로리미터와 항온수조를 사용하여 수행되었으며, 실외온도조건을 설정한 후에 히트펌프 칠러의 성능을 실험으로 측정하였다. 외기조건이 $-7^{\circ}C$에서 $-15^{\circ}C$까지 변화함에 따라 시스템의 성능과 COP는 표준온도 조건의 실험값 보다 약 48~87%까지 감소하였다. 착상 실험에서는 시간 변화에 따라 출구수온이 표준온도를 기준으로 74% 감소하였다. 본 연구로부터 히트펌프 칠러의 설계 기초자료 획득 및 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.
