This study has investigated numerically and experimentally the flow characteristic of air-cooling fan for transmission oil cooler in the large-size diesel engine. Impellers of cooler were composed of eight normal-scale and eight small-scale blades in the zig-zag pattern. In order to increase the discharge pressure of cooling fan, turbo type of fan blade is proposed in the impeller for transmission oil cooler. The fluidic performance of cooling fan has been estimated numerically by using the commercial code and experimentally carried out with reference on AMCA Standard 210-99. As a result, it is confirmed that the numerical result for performance curve is in good agreement with experimental data.

The performance of a centrifugal fan depends on the dimensional parameters of impeller, such as the inlet and exit diameter, area ratio, relative flow angles to the blade, and the number of blades. These design parameters, however, are inter-related, so it is very difficult to identify the effect of each parameter on the fan performance. In this experimental study the effects of the design parameters on the performance of a small centrifugal impeller being used for vacuum cleaners are investigated. A total of 30 shrouded impellers with 120mm diameter were tested and the results were non-dimensionalized to compare their performance.

A cross-flow fan relatively makes high dynamic pressure at low speed because a working fluid passes through an impeller blade twice and blades have a forward curved shape. Therefore, the performance of a cross-flow fan is influenced 25% by the impeller, 60% by the rearguider and the stabilizer, 15% by the heat exchanger. At the low flow rate, there exists a rapid pressure head reduction, a noise increase and an unsteady flow against a stabilizer and a rearguider. Moreover, it is difficult to analyze the reciprocal relations of the cross-flow fan because each parameter is independent. Numerical analyses are conducted with different starting angles of the rearguider. Two-dimensional, unsteady governing equations are solved, using FVM, PISO algorithm, sliding grid system and ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ standard turbulence model.

Hydraulic performance and flow resistance tests were performed to confirm the main parameters of the hydraulic instrumentation that can affect the pump performance of the reactor coolant pump. The flow resistance test offers important experimental data, which are necessary to predict the behavior of the primary coolant when the circulation of the reactor coolant pump is stopped. Moreover, the shape of the hydraulic section of the pump, which was considered in the test, was prepared to compare the mixed-flow- and axial-flow-type models, the difference in the number of blades of the impeller and diffuser, the difference in the shape of the impeller blade and its thickness, and the effect of coating at the suction bell. Additionally, five models of the hydraulic part were manufactured for the experiments. In this study, the differences in performance owing to the design factors were confirmed through the experimental results.

A wind turbine is one of the most popular energy conversion systems to generate electricity from the natural renewable energy source and an axial-flow type wind turbine is the most popular system for the electricity generation in the wind farm nowadays. In this study, a cross-flow type turbine has been studied for the application of wind turbine for electricity generation. The target capacity of electric power generation of the model wind turbine developing on the project is 12 volts, 130A/H (about 1.56kW). The important design parameters of the model turbine impeller are the inlet and exit angle of the turbine blade, number of blade, hub/tip ratio and the exit flow angle of the casing. In this study, the radial equilibrium theorem was used to decide the inlet and exit angle of the impller blade and CFD technique was used to have the performance analysis of the designed model power turbine to find out the optimum geometry of the CPT impeller and casing. The designed CPT with 24 impeller blades at ${\alpha}=82^{\circ}$, ${\beta}=40^{\circ}$ of turbine blade angle was estimated to generate 284.6 N.m of indicated torque and 2.14kW of indicated power.

원심형 연료펌프의 공동발생 특성을 해석하기 위하여 2차원 cascade 모델링을 적용한 수치 해석 코드를 개발하였다. 해석 코드의 해석 능력에 대한 타당성을 검증한 후, 원심형 펌프의 임펠러 블레이드 주위 유동에 대한 공동 발생을 예측하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 원심형 연료 펌프의 작동 조건에서는 공동이 발생하지 않는 것을 확인 하였다. 그러나 펌프의 회전속도가 설계점 조건보다 높은 작동점 이외의 영역에서는 공동이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 작동유체의 온도가 낮아지면 공동 발생의 위험이 감소 하지만 온도가 높아지면 작동 영역을 조금 벗어난 입구 유속에서도 공동이 발생할 수 있음을 알았다.

In this research, the performance predictions of the submersible mixer were investigated. The variation of the performance characteristics by changing the impeller design parameters were discussed through the flow calculation results by using a commercial program, FLUENT. The performance of the submersible mixers is related to the velocity diffusion profiles downstream of the impeller and also the required input motor power to mix the fluid. In this study, the various design parameters such as the number of blade, the hub and tip diameters, the impeller blade profiles and revolution speed of the blades were taken for the fixed values. The blade sweep direction, the chord length distribution along with the radius of the blade and the inlet blade angle were changed to make different testing models. The flow calculation results show the effect of the changed design parameters on the performance of the submersible mixers and also give some helpful information for designing more efficient submersible mixers.

In this study, the numerical study has carried out to analyze the factors of the efficiency decrease at backward flow situation in an axial fan with adjustable blades. The analysis is carried out the pitch angle $36^{\circ}$ on the forward flow and the pitch angle $-26^{\circ}$ on the backward flow. The numerical results show that the air flow rates of the pitch angle $36^{\circ}$ and $-26^{\circ}$ are respectively calculated to 285 CMM and 212 CMM. The results are similar to the experimental results carried out by Chang, and have made the maximum error of 10.6% when compared with the experimental results. The important reason of the fan efficiency decrease is that axial fan used for this study was designed to use for the forward flow. As the results, the pitch angle $-26^{\circ}$ has occurred the recirculation around the impeller blade, impeller cover and stator.

A conventional centrifugal pump causes a drastic deterioration of air-water two-phase flow performances even at an air-water two-phase flow condition of inlet void fraction less than 10% in the range of relatively low water flow rate. Then we have developed a two-phase flow centrifugal pump which consists of a tandem arrangement of double rotating cascades and blades of outer cascade have higher outlet angle more than $90^{\circ}$. In design of the two-phase flow pump for various sized and operating conditions, similarity relations of geometric dimensions to hydraulic performances is very useful. The similarity relations of rotational speed, impeller diameter and blade height are investigated for the developed impeller in the present paper. As the results, the similarity law of rotational speed and impeller diameter is clarified experimentally even in two-phase flow condition. In addition, influences of blade height on air-water two-phase flow performances indicate a little difference from the similarity relations.

Flow field and near-field noise of a centrifugal fan has been studied with an efrcient compressible method and STAR-CD. The flow field of the centrifugal fan is assumed two-dimensional. Most of the compressible studies has been done by inviscid solver because viscous simulation shows little difference. The near field noise is estimated in term s of sound pressure level in frequency domain transformed from the computed pressure fluctuations using FFT. The simulation has been done on various design elements such as impeller blade shapes, the number of blades and cut-off clearance. The comparison shows that the number of blades has a significant effect on near-field noise without losing aerodynamic performance.
