The performance prediction of SMART MCP was performed using a computational fluid dynamics code. General capacity-head performance curve of MCP, which is provided to other design branches as design input, was obtained and it showed the typical type of axial pump performance curve. When four MCPs operate in parallel and one of them stops while the others continue to operate, SMART requires reduced power operation. A procedure for predicting the performance of SMART MCP for that case was developed and verified with available experimental data. An analysis based on the developed procedure was performed for two cases; the impeller of sloped MCP is fixed or free to rotate in reverse direction. According to the results, $73\%$ flow rate of normal operation enters the reactor core in the case of the locked impeller. In case of the impeller free rotation, the flow rate entering the reactor core is $62.8\%$.

The design of a high speed axial piston pump for hydrostatic transmission systems requires specific understanding on where and how much its internal frictional and flow losses are generated. In this study, the frictional loss of a bentaxis type hydraulic piston pump was analyzed in order to find out which design factors influence the mechanical efficiency most significantly. To this end, the friction coefficients of the sliding components were experimentally identified by a specially constructed tribometer. Applying them to the three-dimensional dynamic model of the pump presented by Doh and Hong [1], the friction torques generated by the sliding components such as piston head , bearing and valve plate were theoretically computed. The accuracy of the computed results was confirmed by the comparison with the experimentally measured mechanical efficiency. In this paper, it is shown that the viscous friction on the valve plate and the drive shaft bearing is the primary sources of the frictional losses of the bent-axis type pump, while the friction forces on the piston contribute to them only slightly.

Using the extensional vibration mode of PZT ring, a piezopump is successfully made. The PZT ring is polarized with thickness direction. The traveling extensional wave along the circumference of the ring is obtained by dividing two standing waves which are temporally and spatially phase shifted by 90 degrees from each other. The proposed piezopump is consisted of coaxial cylindrical shells that are bonded piezoelectric ceramic ring. The pump takes an unobtrusive operation into the simple displacing mechanism using peristaltic traveling waves without the physical moving parts. The finite elements analysis on the proposed pump model is carried out to verify its operation principle and design by the commercial FEM software. Components of piezopump were made, assembled, and tested to validate the concepts of the proposed pump and confirm the simulation results. The performance of the proposed piezopump is about 580 ${\mu}l/min$ in flow rate with the highest pressure level of 0.85 kPa, when the driving voltage is 150 $V_p$, 57 kHz.

An experimental investigation was performed to study on the generation of air bubble and air core with swirling flow in a horizontal cicular tube. To determine some characteristics of the flow, 2D PIV technique is employed for velocity measurement in water. The experimental rig is manufactured from an acryl tube. The test tube diameter of 80mm, and a length of 3000mm. The used algorithm is the gray leve cross-correlation method(Kimura et al. 1986). An Ar-ion laser is used and the light from the laser(500mW) passes through a probe to make two-dimensional light sheet. In order to make coded images of the tracer particles on one frame, an AOM(Acoustic-Optical Modulator) is used. The maximum axial velocities showed near the test tube wall at y/D =0.1 and y/D =0.9 along the test tube. The higher Reynolds number increase, the lower axial velocities are showed in the center of the test tube. The air bubbles are generated from Re =10,000 and developed into air core from the recirculating water pump rpm equal 30Hz. The pressure and temperature are measured across the test tube at X/D=3.33.

Considering the shape of a valve plate in design is important for reducing the pulsation phenomenon, which is a negative factor in pump performance. The purpose of this study is to propose an optimized method for a valve-plate V-type notch of a piston pump by modeling and simulation. The method uses $SimulationX^{(R)}$, a commercial hydraulic analysis program, and to provide data for the designing of the notch. The opening areas are determined by performing kinematic analysis of the notch part where the opening area changes rapidly. After applying the result analysis, the main effects on maximum pressure pulsation and maximum backflow according to the notch design factors are analyzed by using the full factorial method of experimental design. The optimized solutions are derived for the notch design variables, based on the analyzed data.

LRE(liquid rocket engine) performance design code with several modules for each engine component has been developed for a preliminary design purpose. Thrust chamber, non-cryogenic centrifugal pump, single stage axial impulse turbine, gas generator and exhaust pipe for extra thrust have been considered. For simplicity, pump exit pressures are fixed, which eliminates pressure balancing problem between thrust chamber and turbopump unit. In this paper, calculated performance parameters with system flow charts and the design methodologies for each component are briefly presented and the results are compared with tile real engine specification.

The attachment of inducer in front of main impeller is a powerful method to improve cavitation performance. Cavitation surge oscillation, however, often occurs at partial flow rate and extremely low suction pressure. As the cavitation surge oscillation with low frequency of about 10 Hz occurs in a close relation between the inlet backflow cavitation and the growth of blade cavity into the throat section of blade passage, one method of installing an axi-asymmetrical plate upstream of inducer has been proposed to suppress the oscillation. The inlet flow distortion due to the axi-asymmetrical plate makes different elongations of cavities on all blades, which prevent the flow from becoming simultaneously unstable at all throat sections. In the present study, changes of the suppression effects with the axial distance between the inducer inlet and the plate and the changes with the blockage ratios of plate area to the cross-sectional area of inducer inlet are investigated for helical inducers with tip blade angles of $8^{\circ}$ and $14^{\circ}$. Then a conceivable application will be proposed to suppress the cavitation surge oscillation by installing axi-asymmetrical inlet plate.

Pressure, which is a dynamic characteristic of a floodgate, is predicted using an FSI analysis method. A fluid analysis model and a hydrology analysis model were used as analysis models. As a result of the analysis, we found that a warped model has smaller acceleration than a square model. Additionally, this numerical analysis technique was applied to the actual hydrology, and the analysis results were compared with the results of the vibration tests. As a result, we confirmed that there is a small difference between the results of the vibration tests and the results of the FSI analysis. Through this analysis, the applicability and reliability of the FSI analysis method were verified. We concluded that the pressure of a floodgate can be measured through an FSI analysis method.
