Current high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) are based on a closed Brayton cycle with helium gas as the working fluid. Thermodynamic performance of the axial-flow helium gas turbines is of critical concern as it considerably affects the overall cycle efficiency. Helium gas turbines pose some design challenges compared to steam or air turbomachinery because of the physical properties of helium and the uniqueness of the operating conditions at high pressure with low pressure ratio. This report present a review of the helium Brayton cycle experiences in Germany and in Japan. The design and availability of helium gas turbines for HTGR are also presented in this study. We have developed a new throughflow calculation code to calculate the design-point performance of helium gas turbines. Use of the method has been illustrated by applying it to the GTHTR300 reference.

Because the magnetic bearing supports levitating body without contact, wear, noise and vibration, it is very useful to high revolution machinery. In this paper we selected ATmega 128, a less expensive and widely used micro controller, for control the magnetic bearing system. And we selected the sampling time and the control gain of PID controller through trial-and-error. The control program of the one board controller utilized lookup table to reduce calculation time, and bit shifting for the integer calculation in instead of floating point calculation. As the results, the controller carried out relatively high speed PID control on sampling time 0.25 ms. At last the rotation test for the magnetic bearing system was carried out by 3 phase induction motor and air turbine.

A design modification was made on the 9-th stage wheel dovetail of a high-intermodiate pressure (HIP) turbine rotor for a fossil power plant that necessitates the use of new long-shank buckets for the row. A bucket vibration test is necessary to verify that the new 9-th stage buckets have adequate frequency margin from a nozzle passing frequency when running at speed. A finite element analysis (FEA) has been performed using a commercial S/W to approximately estimate bucket natural frequencies, and thus to help the vibration test. A row of the new buckets has been assembled on the HIP rotor for the vibration tests using dynamic balancing facilities. The tests have been done during deceleration run with air excitation. The test results are compared with the calculation using our empirical formula, and show that the modified design meets the frequency-margin requirements.

Power transformers, air-intakes and stacks in the urban combined power plant are main noisy sources. Because of Inhabitant complaint by abnormal noise transferred from the power plant. the noise was investigated at power plant and uptown area. The result of diagnosis made the acoustic resonance phenomenon by 580Hz's combustion dynamic pressure with the standing wave mode of sound fields in exhaust passageway of gas turbine into main noise source of public complain. The abnormal noise is caused by the resonance exhaust noise transferred through stacks of power plant.

Ti-Al intermetallic compounds which can be used in gas turbine at elevated temperature were inves-tigated in order to improve oxidation resistance by the formation of protective oxide scale. Four Ti-Al alloys were prepared by plasma arc melting. As the amount of Al was increased among the alloys, oxida-tion resistance was improved by the formation of relatively purer Al2O3 layer. However, the alloys which have less amount of Al formed a duplex layer of Al2O3 and TiO2. When samples were oxidized in pure oxygen instead of air, oxidation resistance was improved because of formation of the purer Al2O3 layer.

성공적인 연소기 개발이 이루어졌다고 하더라도 엔진에 조립되어 실제 환경에서 조립/운용될 경우, 예상하지 못한 문제나 현상들이 발생하는 사례가 많이 있다. 본 연구는 APU 개발 및 완료 후 운용과정 동안 발생한 선회형 보염구조의 환형 역류형 연소기 관련 문제나 이슈 등을 유동해석과 엔진시험을 통해 최적화 해결, 검증한 것이다.

Film cooling effectiveness on a flat plate was measured with pressure sensitive paint. The pressure sensitive paint(PSP) changes the intensity of its emissive light with pressure and the characteristic was used in film cooling effectiveness measurement. The film coolants were air and nitrogen, and by comparing the intensity of PSP coated surface with each coolant, the film cooling effectiveness was calculated. Three blowing ratio of 0.5, 1, and 2 were tested with two mainstream turbulence intensities. Results clearly showed the effect of blowing ratio and mainstream turbulence intensity. As the blowing ratio increases, the film cooling effectiveness was decreased near the film cooling holes. However, the film cooling effectiveness far downstream from the injection hole was higher for higher blowing ratio. As the mainstream turbulence intensity increased, the film cooling effectiveness was decreased at far downstream from the injection hole.

Development of a small gas-turbine combustor for 100㎾ class APU(Auxiliary Power Unit) has been performed. This combustor is a reverse-annular type and has a tangential swiller in the liner head to improve the fuel/air mixing and flame stability. Three main and three pilot fuel injectors of the simplex pressure-swirl type are used. The performance target at the design condition includes a turbine inlet temperature of l170k, a combustion efficiency of 99%, a pattern factor of 30%, and an engine durability of 3000 hours. Under developing the combustor, we conducted the performance test of our first prototype(TS1) with some variants. As a result of the test, the performance targets of the combustor are satisfied except that the pattern factor is about 4% higher than the target value. Therefore, the second prototype(TS2) was redesigned and the performance test was conducted with the critical focus on the pattern factor and the exit mean temperature. We adopted TS2 four variants to check the improvement of the pattern factor. As a result, the pattern factors of several variants were satisfied with the performance target. Finally, the TS2A variant was chosen as a final combustor fur our APU model.

촉매 연소는 통상의 연소 방식과는 달리 촉매 표면에서 연료와 산화제의 화학 반응에 의한 연소 방식이다. 따라서 연소 영역 이전에 연료와 공기가 잘 혼합되어야 하며, 균일한 공급이 이루어져야 한다. 만약 불균일한 유동 분포가 발생하게 되면, 국부적인 고온 지역이 발생하게 되고 이는 촉매와 지지체에 손상을 초래하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 촉매 연소기의 혼합 및 유동 균일도를 향상시키기 위해 다공판을 사용하였으며, 다양한 파라메터의 변화에 따른 유동 특성의 변화를 조사하기 위해 수치적인 방법을 사용하였다. 각각의 조건하에서 촉매부의 입구에서 유동의 균일도를 조사하고 평가하였으며, 그 결과 적절히 설계된 다공판을 사용하였을 경우 대부분의 해석 조건에 대해 효과적인 균일도 향상을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

제트연료변경에 따른 엔진 운용 특성 변화를 살펴보기 위해 JP-8 연료와 JP-S 연료를 사용하여 소형터 보제트엔진의 지상시험 및 고도시험을 수행하였다. 비중이 18% 높은 JP-S 연료에 대한 연료조절시스템 특성은 동일 연료공급명령에 대한 실 연료공급량이 JP-8 연료보다 8% 많이 공급되었다. 시동특성은 연료조절시스템의 명령 대비 공급량의 차이로 인한 점화시점 및 엔진 회전수 가속율 등의 변화를 제외하고는 유사한 특성을 보였다. 정상상태 성능 특성은 순 추력의 일부 구간을 제외하고는 순 추력과 공기유량, 배기가스온도 등 대부분의 엔진 성능 변수가 1% 이내로 유사하였으나 연료소모량만은 연료의 발열량 차이로 인해 최대 5 %이상 차이가 발생하였다. 이를 동일 추력 대비 비 연료소모율로 비교할 때 지상시험에서는 약 1.1~2.6 %, 고공환경시험에서는 5 % 이상 차이가 발생하였다.
