In this paper hydrodynamic lubrication analysis is carried out to investigate the effects of groove location on the lubrication performance of a piston and cylinder system in a linear compressor. The rectangle shaped grooves having a constant groove depth and width are applied on the lubrication area of the piston. The Universal Reynolds equation is used to calculate the oil film pressure, and the Elrod algorithm with the finite different method is used to solve the governing equation. The JFO boundary condition is applied to predict cavitation regions. Transient analysis for different locations of the grooves on the piston is carried out using the typical operating condition of the linear compressor in order to estimate the variations of frictional power losses and minimum film thicknesses. When the grooves are applied on the lubrication area, both the frictional power loss and the minimum film thickness decrease. The frictional power loss can be reduced effectively, while maintaining a minimum film thickness to enable the piston operation without direct contact with the cylinder surface, by means of choosing a proper location of the grooves. The optimum location of the grooves to improve a lubrication performance depends on the operation condition or the system requirements specification.

가스터빈 엔진의 성능을 예측하기 위해서는 자신의 성능 특성을 포함한 구성품 성능도가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 압축기 성능도를 제작사에서 제공한 성능덱으로부터 역으로 식별하는 방법을 제안하였다. 알고리즘은 틸트 로터 방식 스마트 UAV를 위한 PW206C 터보축 엔진에 적용하였다. 제안된 방법을 검증하기 위하여 새롭게 만들어진 압축기 성능도를 이용한 해석 결과와 제작사에서 제공한 EEPP(Estimated Engine Performance Program) 덱을 이용한 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 기존의 스케일링 방법을 이용하여 얻어진 구성품 성능도를 이용한 해석결과와도 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 새롭게 제안된 성능도 생성 방법이 기존의 스케일링 방법보다 더 효과적임을 확인하였다.

가스터빈 엔진의 성능은 그 구성품 성능 특성에 큰 영향을 받는다. 보통 이러한 구성품 성능 특성은 여러 조건에서의 수많은 실험을 통해 얻을 수 있지만 그것은 제작사의 고유 재산이기 때문에 쉽게 제공되지 않는다. 그렇기 때문에 보통 성능 덱을 이용하거나 소유하고 있는 엔진 성능 맵을 스케일링 하여 사용한다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 탈설계점에서 오차를 보인다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소형 가스터빈 엔진 실험 장치를 구성하여 몇 구간에서의 실험을 통해 데이터를 축적하고 이를 이용하여 구성품 성능 맵을 축척하는 방법을 제시하였다. 그리고 프로그램을 이용하여 대상 엔진의 정상상태 성능 모델을 구성하여 실제 측정 데이터와 새롭게 생성된 구성품 맵을 사용했을 경우, 그리고 기존의 방법을 이용한 경우를 비교하였다.

A three-dimensional computation was conducted to understand effects of the inlet boundary layer thickness on the internal flow in a low-speed axial compressor operating at the design condition($\phi=85\%$) and near stall condition($\phi=65\%$). At the design condition, the flows in the axial compressor show, independent of the inlet boundary layer thickness, similar characteristics such as the pressure distribution, size of the hub comer-stall, tip leakage flow trajectory, limiting streamlines on the blade suction surface, etc. However, as the load is increased, the hub corner-stall grows to make a large separation region at the junction of the hub and suction surface for the inlet condition with thick boundary layers at the hub and casing. Moreover, the tip leakage flow is more vortical than that observed in case of the thin inlet boundary layer and has the critical point where the trajectory of the tip leakage flow is abruptly turned into the downstream. For the inlet condition with thin boundary layers, the hub corner-stall is diminished so it is indistinguishable from the wake. The tip leakage flow leans to the leading edge more than at the design condition but has no critical point. In addition to these, the severe reverse flow, induced by both boundary layer on the blade surface and the tip leakage flow, can be found to act as the blockage of flows near the casing, resulting in heavy loss.

The noise and vibration sources of rotary compressor for room air-conditioner are pressure pulsation of compression process, cavity resonance of inner space, structural radiation noise of shell and impact noise of discharge valve. Among them, pressure pulsation is very important noise and vibration source. Because it transferred various kinds of noise and vibration like as mentioned above. In this reason, muffler and resonator are used in order to absorb and remove these noises. But an analytical prediction using acoustic analysis does not coincident with the experimental result. The difference between analysis and actual state is due to the assumption of analysis. This paper covered with new concept of muffler design based on the turbulence kinetic energy of flow by using CFD. From this analysis, it is possible to decide the best position of discharge port of muffler. Therefore $2{\sim}3dB$ noise reduction effect is acquired in rotary compressor of 5000 BTU grade. Also new approach of resonator design is suggested. From this study, the characteristics of resonator and surge hole (a kind of resonator without pipe length) are identified. The former is useful for pure tone noise (narrow frequency band), and the latter is effective for broad frequency band. This paper shows that it is very available to use 3 dimensional analysis of resonator in order to predict more exact tuning frequency. The result is proved by a lot of experiments. From combination of fluid analysis and acoustic analysis, up stream position is effective location of resonator concerning turbulence motion of fluid.

The reciprocating compressor is widely used in the industry field, because it has simple principle and high efficiency. In this work, in order to improve design of discharge passage line in hydrogen compression system Numerical analysis was conducted. General information about an internal gas flow is presented by numerical analysis approach. Relating with hydrogen compressing system, which have an important role in hydrogen energy utilization, this should be a useful tool to observe the flow quickly and clearly. Flow characteristic analysis, including velocity, pressure and turbulence kinetic energy distribution of hydrogen gas going out from the cylinder to discharge-path line are presented in this paper. Discharge-passage model is designed based on real model of hydrogen compressor. Pressure boundary conditions are applied considering the real condition of operating system. The result shows velocity, pressure and turbulent kinetic energy are not distributed uniformly along the passage of the Hydrogen system. Path line or particles tracks help to demonstrate flow characteristics inside the passage. The existence of vortices and flow direction can be precisely predicted. Based on this result, the design improvement might be done.

The primary design goal of a compressor is focused on improving efficiency. Secondary objective is to widen the operating range of compressor. This paper presents a numerical and experimental investigation of the influence of the bleed slot on the operating range for the 1.2 MW class centrifugal compressor installed in a turbocharger. The main design parameters of the bleed slot casing are upstream slot position, inlet pipe slope, downstream slot position and width. The DOE(design of experiment) method was carried out to optimize the casing design. Numerical analyses were done by the commercial code ANSYS-CFX based on the three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Results showed that efficiency and pressure ratio increased as the downstream slot position and width were smaller and the upstream position was located away from the impeller inlet. Experimental works were also done with and without the bleed slot casing. The simulation results were in good agreement with the test data. Enhancement of both the surge margin up to 26.5% and the pressure ratio with the optimized bleed slot design were achieved, compared with the surge margin of only 6.6% without the bleed slot casing.

This study was conducted to develop a heating system for a fuel cell-driven electric vehicle. The system consists of a compressor, an expansion device and three heat exchangers. A conventional air source heat exchanger is used as primary heat exchanger of the system, and an additional water source heat exchanger is used as a pre-heater to supply heat to the upstream air of the primary heat exchanger. On the other hand, the third heat exchanger consists of a water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. The heat source of the pre-heater and the water-refrigerant heat exchanger is the waste heat from the fuel cell's stack. In the experiment, the indoor and the outdoor air temperature were fixed, and the compressor speed, EEV opening and waste heat temperature were varied. The results indicate that the $COP_h$ of the proposed system is 3.01 when the system is operating at a 1,200 rpm compressor speed, 50% EEV opening, and $50^{\circ}C$ waste heat source temperature in air pre-heater operation. However, when the system uses a water-refrigerant heat exchanger, the $COP_h$ increases to up to 9.42 at the same compressor speed and waste heat source temperature with 75% EEV openings.

본 연구에서는 제트 추진 기관의 터빈 익렬에서의 유동과 대기중에 부유되어 있는 입자들이 제트엔진 내부로 유입될 경우 이에 따른 압축기 날개의 마모 및 충돌 부위를 예측하기 위하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 일반적으로 각종 항공기의 추진 기관용 가스 터빈 엔진은 대기중에 부유되어 있는 각종 입자들의 영향을 받게 된다. 특히, 화산 지역, 먼지 입자 부유물이 많은 공업지대 또는 사막지역을 비행하는 항공기의 경우는 모래 알갱이, 먼지, 및 연소 입자의 직접적인 영향을 받아 각 요소들에 심각한 부식 및 마모가 발생됨으로써 성능 저하 및 냉각통로의 막힘, 압축기와 터빈 날개의 손상 등이 예측되어 진다. 이러한 손상들은 초기에는 미세하게 발생하지만, 손상 정도가 점점 누적됨에 따라서 항공기의 안전 운전에 심각한 위험 요소로서 작용할 수 있으며, 경제적으로도 기관의 유지 보수비용의 증가를 가져 올 수 있다. 따라서 압축기에 화산재 또는 대기중에 부유되어 있는 금속 입자나 먼지 입자 등이 유입되었을 경우, 압축기 날개의 손상 부위와 정도를 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 입자의 유입각에서 라그랑지안 방법을 적용하여 압축기 날개 유로로 부유된 입자의 궤적을 예측하고 입자의 충돌에 의한 충격량을 계산하였다. 아울러 정량적인 충돌량을 해석하기 위하여 입자 충돌 계수를 정의하여 압축기 날개 표면의 충돌특성을 해석하였다. 세라믹과 연강에 대한 날개 표면의 마모량을 계산하였으며, 이러한 예측들을 통하여 표면에의 코팅 등의 개선책을 찾을 수 있었다.
