A preliminary series design of compressors for a two-stage centrifugal chiller is suggested. Six groups of hydrodynamically similar compressors, ranging from 233RT to 1,200RT, are introduced. Flow rates, impeller diameters, and wheel speeds for each group are determined from hydrodynamic similarity to share impellers of adjacent groups. It is expected that these compressors can have the same performance and efficiency from the smallest model to the largest one.

This experimental study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of centrifugal pipes which were made of silica fume concrete. External load tests showed that maximum external load ranged from 1,100~5,300kgf/m with thickness ratio(t/D) of between 4.5%~10.0%. Correlation between thickness ratios and external loads was excellent with $R^2$ of 0.99. Respective correlation between measured and computed vertical deformation was good with $R^2$ of higher than 0.90. And therefore, vertical deformation and tensile stress of centrifugal concrete pipes may be theoretically computed with a good precision.

Centrifugal pump shows the strongest secondary flow. Wake is formed near pressure surface close to hub at impeller exit for centrifugal pump impeller. Pressure gradient drives secondary flow in the inducer region, while in the remaining region the following sources drive together: > Pressure gradient > Coriolis force Low-momentum fluid near suction surface hub moves toward pressure surface hub in mixed-flow pump impeller. Tip leakage vortex dominate secondary flow in axial-flow pump impeller. Tip leakage vortex dominate secondary flow in axial-flow in axial-flow pump impeller

A centrifugal atomization process for uranium fuel was developed in order to fabricate high uranium density dispersion fuel for advanced research reactors. Spherical powders of $U_3Si$ and U-Mo were successfully fabricated and dispersed in aluminum matrices. Thermal and mechanical properties of dispersion fuel meat were characterized. Irradiation tests at the research reactor HANARO confirm the excellent performance of high uranium density dispersion fuel.

Principal peculiarities of technology for applying coatings of metallic powders on internal surfaces of hollow cylindrical parts by centrifugal method with induction heating from internal surface of part are examined. It is shown that most effective checking and regulating method of sintered powder layer is monitoring the high-frequency current generator power upon contactless pickup indications of external surface temperature of rotating part.

The importance of CFD work in the process of turbomachinery development has been continuously growing. It is therefore necessary to have some bench marks for validation purposes when any CFD codes are to be developed. In the present study, some public information on centrifugal compressor test results is collected to render useful data for the developers.

A general program of three dimensional profile design of impellers for centrifugal/fixed-flow compressors is successfully commercialized using Bezier curves and quasi-3D flow analysis methods. Control points for meridional hub and shroud contours and blade camberline angles are arbitrarily changed to give smooth Bezier curves. With specified blade normal thicknesses, contructed geometry is instantly analyzed using flow analysis methods to be checked.

Flows in the centrifugal compressor volute with circular cross section are numerically investigated. The computational grid for the calculation utilized a multi-block arrangement to form a butterfly grid and flow calculations are performed using commercial CFD software, CFX-TASCflow. The centrifugal compressor of this study has axial diffuser after radial diffuser because of the shape of inlet duct and installation constraints. Due to this feature the swirling flow pattern is different from the other investigations. The flow inside volute is very complex and three dimensional with strong vortex and recirculation through volute tongue. The calculation results show circumferential variations of the swirl and through flow velocity and pressure distribution. The mechanism deciding flow structure is explained by considering the force balance in volute cross section. And static pressure recovery and total pressure loss are estimated from the calculated results and compared with Japikse model.

Wet compression means the injection of water droplets into the compressor of gas turbines. This method decreases the compression work and increases the turbine output by decreasing the compressor exit temperature through the evaporation of water droplets inside the compressor. Researches on wet compression, up to now, have been focused on the thermodynamic analysis of wet compression where the decrease in exit flow temperature and compression work is demonstrated. This paper provides thermodynamic and aerodynamic analysis on wet compression in a centrifugal compressor for a microturbine. The meanline dry compression performance analysis of centrifugal compressor is coupled with the thermodynamic equation of wet compression to get the meanline performance of wet compression. The most influencing parameter in the analysis is the evaporative rate of water droplets. It is found that the impeller exit flow temperature and compression work decreases as the evaporative rate increases. And the exit flow angle decreases as the evaporative rate increases.
