This paper presents the steady-state performance analysis of the first stage of a multistage centrifugal pump, composed of a shrouded-impeller, a vaned-diffuser and a return-channel, using the commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, ANSYS CFX. The detailed flow fields in the vaned-diffuser with outlet in its side wall and the return-channel are investigated by the CFD code adopted in the present study. The effect of the vaned-diffuser with a downstream crossover bend and the corresponding return-channel on the overall hydrodynamic performance of the first stage pump has also been demonstrated over the normal operating conditions. The predicted hydrodynamics for the diffusing components herein could provide useful information to match the inlet blade angle of the next stage impeller for improving the multistage pump performances.

A hybrid dust-collector combining a fabric filter with centrifugal force was developed to enhance the performance of the conventional fabric filter systems and its performances were evaluated to compare to that of the existing dust collector. The pressure drop rapidly increased with increasing the elapsed time and the face velocity in two filtration systems. But the increasing ratio of a hybrid dust-collector compare to the existing dust collector was lower. This results were confirmed from the performance such as cleaning interval, residual pressure drop and dust loading rate. The overall collection efficiency of the hybrid dust-collector was more than 99.6% and this showed a improvement of 0.6～2% than that of the existing dust collector. Especially, the fractional collection efficiency at the particle size of around 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ is about 4% higher than that of the existing dust collector.

The effect of forging start temperature, forging ratio on the microstructure and mechanical properties of B7B4 steel ware investigated. Microstructure of centrifugal casted B7B4 steel consisted of martensite and ferrite phase. The volume fraction of ferrite increased with increase of forging start temperature and decreased with increase of forging ratio. Tensile strength and hardness decreased with higher of forging start temperature, while impact value and elongation increased with higher of forging start temperature. With increase of forging ratio, tensile strength rapidly increased up to the forging ratio of 30%, and then slowly increased, but elongation was decreased. Hardness and impact value rapidly increased with increase of forging ratio.

Sensitivity analysis of the cylindrical zigzag cams under acceleration and centrifugal forces is performed. A Lagrangian method is used to determine the mechanism constant of zigzag track, And the equation of motion for cylindrical zigzag cam under rectangular pulse is derived by the governing equations of a single spring mass system. The ratio of the drive force tn resisting force is derived by angular acceleration, centrifugal force and setback force on the operation of the munition. The theoretical sensitivity curves for 3 models are analyzed. And experiments for 3 models are conducted to check safe and functional zone. Zigzag cam types can be satisfied all major design requirements for switch system of munition.

Stall inception in a high-speed centrifugal compressor has been examined. The main objective was to find stall precursor and to develop a reliable stall warning method. Eight equally spaced fast-response pressure transducers in the inducer detected the spatial structure of small amplitude perturbations, via spatial Fourier transform, as stall is approached. Near the stall inception point, the phase of spatial courier coefficients increased linearly with the speed of impeller relation for several impeller revolutions at all test speeds, and the spectrum at impeller frequency increased as stall is approached. These are the clear evidences that the impeller frequency participates in the stalling process.

CSCM upwind flux difference splitting compressible Navier-Stokes method has been used to predict the transonic flows in a centrifugal compressor diffuser. The modified cyclic. TDMA and the mass flux boundary conditions were used as boundary conditions of the diffuser analysis. Broad flow separation on the suction surface near the hub and shroud was observed from the results of the mass flow rates 5.8, 6.0 and 6.2kg/s at 27000 rpm. The three-dimensional flow analysis predicted successfully that the static pressure increased and the total pressure decreased through the flow passage of the channel diffuser when compared to two-dimensional analysis due to the strong effect of the three-dimensional flow. The mass averaged loss coefficients and pressure coefficients were also studied.

Some sized centrifugal compressors were designed and their performance measured to investigate the effects of exit blade thickness, width and back swept angle. The impeller of larger blade thickness shows low pressure ratio compared with that of smaller ones. Backswept angle also have a large effect on the efficiency. Measured values of slip factor are quite different from the estimated values of the Wiesner-Busemann model and an increase in the flow late.

The present experimental study is focused on the application of multi-point simultaneous measurement by PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) to rotor-stater region within centrifugal turbine pump. Six different kinds of rpm(120, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500) are selected as experimental condition. Optimized cross correlation identification to obtain velocity vectors is implemented with direct calculation of correlation coefficients. Fine optical setup concerned with PIV performance is arranged for the accurate PIV measurement of high-speed complex flow. The instantaneous and time-mean velocity distribution and velocity profile are represented quantitatively at the rotor and stator region.

In the current study the effects on pump performances of a conventional centrifugal pump for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid were experimentally studied. The study aimed to compare the pump characteristics for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. The working fluids are water, aqueous sugar solution, glycerin solution, muddy solution and pulp solution. The pump characteristics with high viscosity fluids were different. The operating efficiency for the sugar and glycerin solutions were decreased to $8.1\%$ and $12.9\%$ than that of water. The head reductions of the muddy solution for different concentration ratios were decreased to $7.97\%,\;15.11\%$ and $24.87\%$ than that of water And the head reductions of the pulp solution for different concentration ratios were decreased to $11.87\%,\;19.79\%$ md $36.81\%$ than that of water.

Tip clearance of centrifugal compressor affects the performance. Larger tip clearance results in lower efficiency. What really affects the performance is the running tip clearance, not the cold tip clearance. When the compressor is operating, blade strain and the pressure difference between impeller backplate and hub affects the running tip clearance. This paper describes measured running tip clearance and its effects on the performance of centrifugal compressor. Cold tip clearance before operation was 0.4 mm and running tip clearance varied from 0.86 mm to 0.25 mm with impeller exit pressure. As the pressure at impeller exit increases, the routing tip clearance tends to decreases. The target running tip clearance for compressor at $100\%$ speed was 0.3 mm and it turned out to be exactly 0.30 mm from experiment.
