Gas flow through orifice is encountered in many diverse fields of engineering applications. In order to investigate the critical gas flow through an orifice system, a computational analysis is performed using axisymmetric, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations which are numerically solved by a fully implicit finite volume method. In the present study, the discharge coefficients of two different types of orifices which are a straight-bore orifice and a sharp-edged orifice, are predicted to obtain the critical flow conditions. The present CFD data are compared with the previous experimental results. The present computational results show that the critical mass flow rate through orifice is well predicted and it is a strong function of Reynolds number. The discharge coefficient increases with the orifice diameter.

고속회전 시험장치를 이용하여 V 형태의 회전식 연료 노즐의 오리피스 직경에 따른 분사특성을 파악하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 시험장치는 고속 회전장치, 연료공급장치, 아크릴 케이스로 구성하였다. 분무 오리피스의 직경과 회전속도를 변화시켜가며 분무실험을 수행하였다. 분무입자의 크기 및 속도 측정은 PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) 시스템을 사용하였고, Nd-Yag Laser를 이용하여 분무특성을 가시화하였다. 실험결과, 분무오리피스의 직경이 커질수록 분무입자의 크기가 작아졌으며, 분무입자 크기가 가장 작은 값을 보이는 분무오리피스의 한계 직경이 존재하였다. 오리피스의 직경이 이 한계직경 보다 클 경우 분무입자의 크기는 더 이상 감소하지 않았다. 이것은 분무 오리피스의 직경이 한계직경보다 커질 경우 오리피스 내의 액막이 균일하게 분포하지 않기 때문으로 판단된다.

Various studies on the critical flow models for sub-cooled and/or saturated water were reviewed, especially on Fauske, Moody, and Henry for basic theoretical models; Zaloudek for insight into physical phenomena for a critical flow in an orifice type flow path; Sozzi & Sutherland for a critical flow test of saturated and sub-cooled water at high pressure for orifice and nozzles; and a Marviken test on a full-scale critical flow test. In addition, critical flow tests of sub-cooled water for the break simulators in integral effect test (IET) facilities were also investigated, and a hybrid concept using Moody's and Fauske's models was considered by the authors. In the comparison of the models for the selected test data, discussions of the effect of the diameters, predictions of the critical flow models, and design aspects of break simulator for SBLOCA scenarios in the IET facilities were presented. In the effect of diameter on the critical flow rate with respect to all dimensional scales, it was concluded that the effect of diameter was found irrespective of diameter sizes. In addition, the diameter effect on slip ratio affecting the critical flow rate was suggested. From a comparison of the critical flow models and selected test data, the Henry-Fauske model of the MARS-KS code was found to be the best model predicting the critical flow rate for the selected test data under study.

Particle motion through a disk type critical orifice placed in a 3.0cm diameter chamber has been studied numerically. In the simulation, the velocity field is solved using Pantankar's SIMPLER algorithm for the compressible flow and convergence of the computation is confirmed if the mass source at each control volume is smaller than $10^{-7}$. The particle motion in the flow field is solved in Lagrangian method. The particle trajectories showed that the particles injected away from the center line are expanded rapidly. At lower pressures, this expansion phenomena are more dominant. At lower pressures, the clear difference in particle and air speed is showed all the way down to the exit plan. It was found that particles with Stokes number of ca.2.5 tend to focus close to the center line very well except the particles travelling near the wall. However, particles with Stokes number greater than ca.2.5 show a tendency to cross the center line.

Methods of the characteristics evaluation of turbo-molecular pumps (TMP) are well-defined in the international measurement standards such as ISO, PNEUROP, DIN, JIS, and AVS. The Vacuum Center in the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has recently designed, constructed, and established the integrated characteristics evaluation system of TMPs based on the international documents by continuously pursuing and acquiring the reliable international credibility through measurement perfection. The measurement of TMP pumping speed is normally performed with the throughput and orifice methods dependent on the mass flow regions. However, in the UHV range of the molecular flow region, the high uncertainties of the gauges, mass flow rates, and conductance are too critical to precisely accumulate reliable data. With UHV gauges of uncertainties less than 15% and a calculated conductance of the orifice, about 35% of pumping speed uncertainties are experimentally derived in the pressure range of less than $10^{-6}$ mbar. In order to solve the uncertainty problems of pumping speeds in the UHV range, we introduced an SRG with 1% accuracy and a constant volume flow meter (CVFM) to measure the finite mass flow rates down to $10^{-3}$ mbar-L/s with 3% uncertainty for the throughput method. In this way we have performed the measurement of pumping speed down to less than $10^{-6}$ mbar with an uncertainty of 6% for a 1000 L/s TMP. In this article we suggest that the CVFM has an ability to measure the conductance of the orifice experimentally with flowing the known mass through the orifice chambers, so that we may overcome the discontinuity problem encountering during introducing two measurement methods in one pumping speed evaluation sequence.

This paper presents a hydrostatic bearing design and rotordynamic analysis of a turbo expander for a hydrogen liquefaction plant. Th~e turbo expander includes the turbine and compressor wheel assembled to a shaft supported by two hydrostatic radial and thrust bearings. The rated speed is 75,000 rpm and the rated power is 6 kW. For the bearing operation, we use pressurized air at 8.5 bar as the lubricant that is supplied to the bearing through the orifice restrictor. We calculate the bearing stiffness and flow rate for various gauge pressure ratios and select the orifice diameter providing the maximum bearing stiffness. Additionally, we conduct a rotordynamic analysis based on the calculated bearing stiffness and damping considering design parameters of the turbo expander. The predicted Cambell diagram indicates that there are two critical speeds under the rated speed and there exists a sufficient separation margin for the rated speed. In addition, the predicted rotor vibration is under 1 ㎛ at the rated speed. We conduct the operating test of the turbo expander in the test rig. For the operation, we supply pressurized air to the turbine and monitor the shaft vibration during the test. The test results show that there are two critical speeds under the rated speed, and the shaft vibration is controlled under 2.5 ㎛.

This study presents a numerical simulation investigating hydrodynamic characteristics of high-temperature hydrocarbon aviation fuel injected through a plain orifice injector. The analysis encompassed the temperature range up to the critical point, and the obtained results were compared with prior experimental observations. The analysis unveiled that the injector's exit pressure remains equivalent to the ambient pressure when the fuel injection temperature is below the boiling point. However, when the fuel temperature surpasses the boiling point, the exit pressure of the injector transitions to the saturated vapor pressure corresponding to the fuel injection temperature. Consequently, the exit pressure of the injector increases in tandem with the rapid increase of the saturation vapor pressure due to escalating fuel temperatures. This rise in the exit pressure necessitates a proportional increase in fuel injection pressure to ensure a fixed fuel mass flow rate. Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the discharge coefficient obtained by applying the exit pressure instead of the ambient pressure did exhibit no decrease, but rather was maintained at a nearly constant value, comparable to its level below the boiling point.

The HANARO, multi-purpose research reactor, 30 MWth open-tank-in- pool type, is under normal operation since it reached the initial critical in February 1995. The HANARO is planning to produce a fission moly-99 of radio isotopes, a mother nuclide of Tc-99m, a medical isotope and is under developing a target handling tool for loading and unloading it in a circular flow tube (OR-5). A guide tube is extended from the reactor core to the top of the reactor chimney for easily un/loading a target under the reactor normal operation. But active coolant through the core can be quickly raised up to the top of the chimney through the guide tube by jet flow. This paper is described an analytical analysis to calculate the hole size of a orifice inserted in the circular irradiation hole and to study the flow characteristics through the guide tube under reactor normal operation and loading the target. As results, the results show that the hole size of orifice was 31 mm of the inner diameter to suppress the guide tube jet flow and the coolant safely cooled the target of fission moly after inserting the orifice to the flow tube.

터보분자펌프(TMP)의 특성평가는 ISO, PNEUROP, DIN, JIS, AVS 등 세계 여러 나라의 표준제정기구에서 제정한 국제규격에 그 근거를 두고 있다. 한국표준과학연구원에서는 이러한 국제규격에 기반을 둔 터보분자펌프의 특성평가시스템을 자체 설계/제작하여 그 신뢰성을 확인하기 위해 개발품 및 상용품의 평가에 주력하고 있다. 터보분자펌프의 배기속도 측정방법으로서 기체흐름 영역에 따른 throughput method와 orifice method를 적용하고 있으나 측정게이지, 유량계 및 orifice conductance의 불확도 등 실질적으로 정확한 배기속도를 제시하기 위한 조건들의 제약 때문에 많은 측정오차를 포함하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 배기속도의 측정오차를 줄이기 위한 하나의 고찰로서 본 논문에서는 $10^{-1}$ Pa-L/s 영역까지의 유량 주입범위를 가지는 기 구축된 정적법을 이용한 유량주입에 기반을 둔 throughput method를 이용하여 1000 L/s TMP의 측정 능력을 검증하고자 한다. 또한 분자류 영역인 orifice method를 사용할 경우 고진공영역, 미세유량 주입영역으로 진입할수록 커질 수밖에 없는 배기속도 측정 불확도를 최소화시키기 위해 검증된 유량을 이용한 conductance 값을 제시하여, 기 언급한 두 가지 배기 속도 측정 방법의 연속성을 유지하기 위한 실험적인 방법론을 제기하고자 한다.

In this paper, a sound quality index for the evaluation of the vehicle intake noise was developed through a correlation analysis of the objective measurement and the subjective evaluation. First, intake orifice noise was measured at the wide-open throttle sweep condition. And then, the acoustic transfer function between intake orifice noise and interior noise was measured. Simultaneously, subjective evaluation was carried out with a 10-scale score by 8 special engineers. The correlation analysis between the psychoacoustic parameters derived from the measurement and the subjective evaluation was performed. The most critical factor was determined and the corresponding sound quality index for intake noise was obtained from the multiple factor regression analysis method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed index was validated.
