Comprehensive work is done for flows by an axial fan by experimental research. The present model fan is used for air handling device for out-door unit of an air conditioner in home appliance. PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) system and wind tunnel are adopted for measurements of flows and performance evaluation, respectively. Major experimental conditions are the installation depth of a fan into a bellmouth of it. Optimal position of a fan in an inlet guide tube is observed by examination of fan-performance and flows in both upstream and downstream of the fan. Consequently, in the case of the fan inserted in half depth into the inlet tube, the efficiency of fan shows its maximum value and flow patterns is also streamlined.

The flow angle at the inlet and exit of a rotor or stator is an important design parameter involved in the design a fan blade. Flow angles along the radial direction for 3-D stacking are calculated using two kinds of vortex methods, i.e. free vortex method and forced vortex method. The performance test shows that a fan designed by the free vortex method is more efficient than a fan designed by the forced vortex method. As a reference, an imported fan is tested. Even though the straightner of the imported fan is used for the comparison test, the difference of efficiency between the imported fan and the fan designed by the free vortex method is negligible. The noise of the fan designed by the free vortex method is less than that of the imported fan. A bellmouth installed at the fan inlet improved the fan efficiency more than $10\%$.

헤어드라이기, 자동차용 진공청소기, 면도기, 쥬서/믹서기등과 같은 소형 가 전제품은 사용시, 제품과 소비자사이의 거리가 짧아 진동/소음에 관한 인식이 대형 가전제품에 비해 크다. 과거에는 가전제품의 경우, 기본성능 및 각 회사만이 갖고 있는 독자적인 성능과 디자인을 최우선적으로 고려하여 설계하였다. 소음/진동에 관한 문제는 제품이 제작된 후에 필요에 따라 고려되었기 때문에 주어진 조건하에서 저진동/저소음을 위한 대책에는 한계가 있었다. 근래에는 진동/소음에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 제품의 설계단계부터 저진동/저소음 제품을 설계하기 위한 노력이 점차로 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 추세의 한 예로서 헤어드라이기에 대해 결정된 디자인 및 성능이 크게 변경되지 않는 범위내에서 진동/소음이 적은 구조를 설계하는데 목적이 있다. 먼저, 헤어드라이기의 소음원 및 특성을 간단히 규명한 뒤, 벨마우스(bellmouth) 이용등과 같이 일반적으로 잘 알려진 소음저감법을 소음원에 대해 적용하였다. 헤어드라이기의 경우 소음원이 몸체에 삽입되는 순간 특정 주파수대역에서 소음이 증가하는 현상이 발생하는데, 헤어드라이기의 몸체에 대한 음향학적 특성을 수치해석 및 실험을 통해 파악함으로써 이에 대한 원인을 규명하였다. 이를 바탕으로 몇가지의 변경된 구조에 대해 소음에 관련된 현상을 고찰해 봄으로써 저소음을 위한 헤어드라이기의 설계방법을 제안하였다.

An experimental study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of a suction-blowing fan that could not only remove polluted air by suction but also create the air-curtain by blowing. In order to create the air-curtain, rotors were installed on the surface of the shroud. These blows fresh air into the polluted region. The fresh air is spouted backward 45o on the basis of the axial direction using a double-ducted bellmouth. In the same suction operating condition, the suction region was extended by increasing the blowing velocity. However, the increasing rate of suction region was reduced when the blowing velocity was increased steadily. Thus, an efficient blowing velocity should be determined depending on the suction operating condition. In addition, the blowing requires additional input power. In a fixed suction operating condition, the input power was linearly increased in proportion to the blowing flowrate. When the suction-blowing fan was operated in the same input power as the suction fan, the suction region was increased more than 30% based on the 0.6m/sec velocity.

Automotive NVH on brake operation is mainly caused by a coupling action of vehicle speed and inter parts friction and its frequency occurs over a broad band of 0.1 kHz~10 kHz. Especially, squeal noise, being a self-excited vibration generated by friction force between drum and lining, occurs over 1 kHz and consequently dynamic instability is induced when friction energy is applied to a brake vibration system. The squeal strongly depends on nonlinear properties influenced by the material of lining, velocity of vehicle, and the dynamic properties of a brake system. The dynamic properties are considered as a main influential design factor to squeal noise, however the analysis of the properties are rarely facilitated due to arbitrariness of shape by wearing down. In this paper, we research generating tendency of squeal noise through complex eigenvalue analysis, tracking drum brake's unstable modes in accordance with the wear shape of drum and lining such as tapered and bellmouth shape, and analyze computed unstable modes by variable shapes.
