The numerical study was conducted to investigate the pump performance due to impeller related parameters change in centrifugal pump of very low specific speed by using CFD code. A small centrifugal pump whose specific speed is $N_s=76.2$ was used, and the performance characteristics were discussed for different number of vanes, rotational speed, and the length and height of vane. The numerical results at a very low specific speed show that the increase of the number of vanes has little effect on improvement of output pressure but results in the reduction of pressure fluctuation, and that the head increases with the increase in the rotational speed. The decreasing the length of vane has a considerable reduction of the capacity coefficient in comparison with decreasing the height of vane.

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.

해수의 접촉이 많은 금속 임펠러는 해수의 염분에 의해 부식이 되므로 탄소섬유로 제작된 임펠러를 사용한 해수펌프가 개발되었다. 해수펌프의 임펠러와 와류실의 최적설계를 수치해석을 통해 수행하였고 관련인자(임펠러 두께, 표면 거칠기)의 영향을 평가하였다. 임펠러의 두께는 무게 때문에 재료에 따라 제한된다. 탄소섬유를 사용한 임펠러는 경량이므로 최대효율을 나타내는 임펠러 두께를 사용할 수 있다. 표면 거칠기의 경우 같은 운전 조건에서 펌프의 효율에 7 % 범위에서 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다.

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 number of blades. These design parameters, however, are inter-related, so it is very difficult to identify the effect of each parameter to the fan performance. In this experimental study the effect of the design parameters on the performance of a small centrifugal impeller being used for vacuum cleaners are investigated. Total 30 shrouded impellers with 120mm diameter were tested and the results were non-dimensionalized to compare their performance.

This paper describes the influence of geometric parameters on the noise generation from a centrifugal compressor. From the analysis of noise measurements, it is observed that Blade Passing Frequency noise related to the rotating impeller is more important, and it is focused on the comparison of this discrete frequency noise according to the shape change. Navier-Stokes solver is used to simulate the flow-field of the impeller and the vaned diffuser, and time-dependent pressure data are calculated and Fourier-transformed to perform the near-field noise prediction. The effects of various geometry design variables such as the gap between the impeller and the diffuser, impeller shape variations on the near-field noise distribution are investigated.

본 연구에서는 낮은 비속도에서 작동하는 소형터보임펠러에서 베인의 형상을 최적화하여 출구에서 높은 양정을 얻기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 임펠러의 설계점에서 비속도는 SI 단위로 4.0이며 임펠러의 외경은 56mm이다. 최적화를 수행할 때 임펠러의 외경을 고정하여 펌프의 부피를 제한하였으며 임펠러 내부의 설계변수를 변경하면서 목적함수인 양정을 극대화하였다. 설계변수는 베인의 형상설계와 관련이 있는 8개의 설계변수를 사용하였으며, 최적화를 위한 방법으로는 반응면법을 사용하였다. 내부유동장의 계산은 상용코드인 CFX-10을 사용였으며, 최적화된 임펠러에서 얻어진 양정은 초기설계변수에 의하여 설계되어진 임펠러에 비하여 9.7%이상 증가하였다. 이러한 증가는 내부 유로에서의 재순환영역의 감소와 직접적인 관련이 있었다.

Surface pressure integration and momentum method were respectively performed to evaluate the impeller thrust and the system thrust of a contra-rotating axial flow water jet propulsion, and an interesting phenomenon so-called thrust paradox was revealed. To explain the paradox, the impeller thrust and the system thrust were physically and theoretically analyzed, the results show that the impeller thrust is head involved and is determined by the hydraulic parameters upstream and downstream the impeller, while the momentum method depicted by a classic equation is valid simply under the best efficiency point. Consequently, the role of a water jet propulsion nozzle was deduced that the nozzle is mainly to limit the flow rate that crosses the impeller and to assure the system working under the best efficiency condition apart from its ability to produce momentum difference. Related mathematical formula expressed the nozzle diameter is the dominant variable used to calculate the working condition of the water jet propulsion. Therefore the nozzle diameter can be steadily estimated by the former expression. The system thrust scaling characteristics under various speeds were displayed lastly.

This paper describes that the size of inactive zone can be directly applied to design multiblade fan/scroll system. From the experimental studies using a five hole pitot tube and smoke test, it is found that the size of inactive zone has linear relations with the mean velocity of impeller inlet and cut-off angle gives a great influences to the fan efficiency. For the practical design, a function related with geometric parameters(i.e. inner radius, cord length, cut-off clearance and cut-off angle) of fan/scroll system is suggested. By using these formulas, the size and distribution of inactive zone can be predicted without the measurements through the full domain, it can be possible to use them to know the efficiency improvement for new model designed.
