We have developed the exclusive CAD/CAM system for the machining of impeller blades. This study is about the mod-eling method for the effective machining of impeller blades farmed by ruled surface. As the impeller is consisted of boss part and blade part, the boss is modeled by rotational surface of hub curve on z-axis and the blade is described by ruled- surfaces between hub curve and shroud curve. This modeling process can be carried out on the software developed in this study. And, the developed software can describe the impeller as a solid model through interface with Solid-Works soul- ware. The developed software containing the interface method proposed in this study was very effective fur impeller modeling.

An impeller is a type of high-speed rotor that is used to compress or transfer fluid under high-speed and pressure at high temperatures. The impeller is composed of an axial hub and several blades attached along the hub. The weight and shape of an impeller must be balanced, because their imbalances can cause noise and vibration, which can lead to the breakage of the impeller blades during operation. Thus, the hub and blades of an impeller are commonly machined in a 5-axis NC machine to obtain qualified surfaces. The impeller machining strategy or process plan can not be easily obtained due to the complex, overlapped and twisted shapes of impeller blades. Skillful machining process planners may generate appropriate machining strategies based on their experiences and floor data. However, in practice most shop floor data for the impeller machining is not well-structured such that it does not effectively provide a process planner with information for machining strategies and/or process plans. This paper reports the development of a case-based machining strategy support system (CBMS) that employs case-based reasoning to obtain the machining strategy of an impeller by using the existing machining strategies of the shop floor. The CBMS generates impeller machining strategies through a stepwise reasoning process considering the similarity features between the blade shapes and machining regions. A case study is provided to demonstrate that CBMS can generate useful machining strategies facilitating process planners. The developed system can simulate the tool paths of impeller machining and runs on the web.

Centrifugal blowers are widely used for air handling units in industry applications. The blower has a centrifugal impeller and a scroll casing including a driving component such as an electric motor. The impeller takes forward or backward blades to induce flows into the blower. Comprehensive investigation according to the two kinds of blades is systematically carried out for a guidance of design. It is observed that flow rate of the blower with forward blades is larger than that of the system with backward blades. The reason is due to larger velocity from the rotating forward blades and the tendency is validated by a parallel experiment with a wind tunnel. Numerical analysis for the system shows detail information inside the blades and the casing. A series of figures to show the flow details offers deep understanding of a centrifugal blower with different blades.

The flow field measurements were conducted on the planes between impeller blades, and the gap between the impeller and turbine blades under speed ratio of 0.4. The study showed that high velocity regions move from locations near the suction surface of the impeller to the pressure blade, shroud corner as flow progresses from the mid-chord of impeller passage to exit and out into the gap region. Planes 3 through 5 also showed flow reversal occurring in the area near the shell surface and progress far into the impeller passage from the impeller passage exit, near shell surface. This affected the converter efficiency negatively. This study would aid in the construction of higher accuracy CFD models of this complex turbomachinery device.

LDV(laser Doppler velocimetry) measurements were conducted on the exit region of the impeller passage and the gap between the impeller and turbine blades under 0.8 speed ratio. The 0.8 speed ratio has an impeller speed of 2000rpm and a turbine speed of 1600rpm. A periodic variation of the mass flow rate is present in many of the measurements made. The frequency of this variation is the same as the frequency of the turbine blades passing the impeller passage exit. It is found that the instantaneous position of the turbine had effect on fluid flow inside the impeller passage and gap region. This study would aid in the construction of higher accuracy CFD models of this complex turbomachinery device.

이 논문은 선박에서 자세 안정용 양방향 축류펌프에 대한 임펠러 블레이드의 형상최적설계를 설명한 것이다. 양방향 축류펌프용 블레이드는 대칭형 익형을 사용하므로 효율이 기존의 단방향 축류펌프보다 낮다. 이러한 양방향 축류펌프의 단점을 최소화 하고 효율을 증가시키기 위해 최적설계기법을 사용하였다. 양방향 축류펌프의 성능 개선을 위해 상용 CFD 프로그램인 ANSYS CFX v.13 을 이용하여 유동해석을 수행하였다. 직교배열표, 분산분석과 직교다항식을 이용한 대리모델기반 최적설계방법은 최적 설계변수를 결정하고 주효과를 찾는데 사용하였다. 최적설계 결과로부터, 임펠러 블레이드의 유효한 설계변수를 확인하고 이의 최적해와 설계요구조건 만족에 대한 유용성을 설명하였다.

원심압축기 임펠러의 블레이드는 고속회전과 정상유동 압력에 의한 정적하중이 가해진다. 동시에 임펠러와 디퓨저 베인 간 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 비정상 유동의 공력가진력이 공진조건에서 주기적으로 임펠러를 가진함에 따라 임펠러 블레이드의 고주기피로 파손이 발생할 수 있다. 이에 대한 정밀한 구조응답 예측을 위해 ANSYS를 이용한 비정상 유동 해석과 모드해석을 각기 수행하여 공력가진력과 주요 공진조건을 도출하였다. 이 후 공력-구조를 연계하는 단일방향의 강제진동 해석을 수행하고, 결과들을 토대로 고주기피로에 대한 안전도를 평가하였다.

The performance of small-size impellers with ruled surfaces was investigated for flank milling over a wide speed range, using computational fluid dynamics analyses and gas bench tests. An impeller with a ruled surface was designed, manufactured, and tested to evaluate the effects of blade loading, the backsweep angle, and the relative velocity distribution on the compressor performance. The simulations and tests were completed using the same compressor cover with identical inlet and outlet channels to accurately compare the performance of the abovementioned impeller with a commercial impeller containing sculptured blades. Both impellers have the same number of blades, number of splitters, and shroud meridional profiles. The backsweep angles of the blades on the ruled impeller were selected to work with the same pinched diffuser as for a sculptured impeller. The inlet-to-exit relative velocity diffusion ratio and the blade loading were provided to maximize the flow rate and to minimize the surge flow rate. The design flow rate, rpm, were selected same for both impellers. Test results showed that for the compressor stage with a ruled impeller, the efficiency was increased by 0.32% with an extended surge margin without a reduction in the pressure ratio as compared to the impeller with the sculptured design. It was concluded that an increased relative velocity diffusion coupled with a large backsweep angle was an effective way to improve the compressor stage efficiency. Additionally, an appropriate blade loading distribution was important for achieving a wide operating range and higher efficiency.
