For axial-type turbines which operate at partial admission, a performance prediction model is developed. In this study, losses generated within the turbine are classified to windage loss, expansion loss and mixing loss. The developed loss model is compared with experimental results. Particularly, if a turbine operates at a very low partial admission rate, a circular-type nozzle is more efficient than a rectangular-type nozzle. For this case, a performance prediction model is developed and an experiment is conducted with the circular-type nozzle. The predicted result is compared with the measured performance, and the developed model quite well agrees with the experimental results. So the developed model could be applied to predict the performance of axial-type turbines which operate at various partial admission rates or with different nozzle shape.

A design method for a propeller type rim-driven axial-flow turbine for a micro-hydropower system is presented. The turbine consists of pre-stator, impeller and post-stator, where the pre-stator plays a role as a guide vane to provide circumferential velocity to the on-coming flow, and the impeller as a rotational power generator by absorbing angular momentum of the flow. BEM(Blade Element Method), which is based on the turbine Euler equation, is employed to design the pre-stator and impeller blades. NACA 66 thickness form and a=0.8 mean camber line, which is widely accepted as a marine propeller blade section, is used for the pre-stator and turbine blade section. A CFD method, derived from the discretization of the RANS equations, is applied for the analysis of the designed turbine system. The design conditions of the turbine is confirmed by the CFD calculation. Turbine characteristic curve is calculated by the CFD method, in order to provide the performance characteristics at off-design operation conditions. The proposed procedures for the design of a propeller type rim-driven axial-flow turbine are established and confirmed by the CFD analysis.

본 연구에 채택된 마이크로터빈은 축류형 터빈으로 2단으로 구성되어져 있으며 로터 유로에서의 평균반경이 8.4 mm이다. 이러한 소형 터빈은 마이크로 동력시스템의 드라이브로 사용되어질 수 있으며 무부하 상태에서 100,000 RPM의 회전속도에 도달한다. 하지만 낮은 부분분사에서 작동하므로 동익과 정익의 익형각에 따라 성능의 변화가 발생되어진다. 따라서 노즐, 정익, 동익의 익형각을 변경하면서 비출력과 총 비토오크를 측정하여 각각의 성능을 분석하였다. 성능실험의 결과에 의하면 동익 익형각의 변화에 따라 총 비토오크가 15%까지 변경되어졌으며 최적의 입사각은 $10.3^{\circ}$ 정도였다.

An experimental study is conducted to investigate flow characteristics on a small axial-type turbine which is applied as the rotating part of air tools. It operates in a partial admission due to consumption restriction of the high pressure air. In this operating condition, it is necessary to understand flow characteristics for obtaining the high specific output power. Tested turbine consists of two stages and the mean radius of flow passage is less than 10mm. A 6 bar pressure air is used to operate the turbine. The experimental results show that flow angles depend on the measuring location along the circumferential direction, but its discrepancy is alleviated along the axial direction. Absolute flow velocities show three times difference according to the measuring location at the exit of the first rotor due to the partial admission, but they show similar value at the exit of the second rotor by the velocity diffusion. From the measured flow angles and velocities, a ratio of output power obtained by the first and second rotor is estimated. It shows that the output power obtained by the second rotor is about $11\%$ to that by the first rotor at 60,000 RPM. It is effective therefore to improve the first rotor for increasing the turbine output power.

본 연구에 적용된 터빈은 2단으로 구성되며, 첫 번째 단에는 축류형 터빈이 적용되고 두 번째 단에는 반경류형 터빈이 적용되었다. 축류형 터빈에서 동익의 평균반경은 70mm 이며, 반경류형 터빈의 외경은 입구에서 68mm였다. 실험에서 반경류형 터빈의 경우에는 두 개의 다른 형태가 적용되었으며, 최적의 설계변수를 확인하기 위하여 노즐의 각도를 3가지로 변경하면서 실험을 수행하였다. 터빈의 형상에 따른 성능평가를 위하여 총비토오크를 기준으로 비교하였다. 실험의 결과에서 낮은 부분분사에서 작동하면서 고토오크를 얻기 위한 소형터빈의 성능에는 노즐 각도가 가장 중요한 설계변수임을 보여주었다. 부분분사율이 3.4%이면서 노즐의 분사각도가 $75^{\circ}$인 경우에 두 번째 단에 반경류형 터빈을 장착하였을 때 총비토오크는 13%향상하는 결과를 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 축류형 마이크로터빈의 단 수를 단 단에서부터 최대 6단까지 변경하면서 각 단에서의 공력특성을 측정하였다. 실험에 사용된 마이크로터빈은 터빈입구에서 유량계수가 2.0, 부하계수가 3.25이며 유로의 평균직경이 25.8mm인 소형 축류형 다단터빈이 적용되었다. 정익과 동익의 솔리디티는 0.67~0.75 범위의 값이 적용되었으며 입구에 일정한 질유량과 전압력으로 조정한 후에 터빈의 부하를 변경하면서 탈설계 영역에서의 공력특성을 측정하였다. 본 실험에서는 단 당 최대 2kW/kg/sec의 비출력이 얻어졌으나 단수의 증가에 따라 비출력의 증가폭은 다소 완화되었으며, 토오크의 경우는 단수가 증가되면서 낮은 회전수 영역에서는 토오크의 증가폭이 일정하나 높은 회전수영역에서는 토오크의 증가폭이 둔화되었다. 블레이드의 높이에 비하여 팁간격의 영향이 크므로 터빈의 효율은 낮으나 단 수의 증가에 따라 증가가 가능하다.

Micro hydraulic turbines take a growing interest because of its small and simple structure as well as high possibility of applying to micro and small hydropower resources. The differential pressure exiting within the city water pipelines can be used efficiently to generate electricity like the energy generated through gravitational potential energy in dams. In order to reduce water pressure at the inlet of water cleaning centers, pressure reducing valves are used widely. Therefore, pressure energy is wasted. Instead of using the pressure reduction valve, a micro counter-rotating hydraulic turbine can be replaced to get energy caused by the large differential pressure found in the city water pipelines. In this paper, detail studies have been carried out to acquire basic design data of micro counter-rotating hydraulic turbine, output power, head, and efficiency characteristics on various number of runner vane. Moreover, the influences of pressure, tangential and axial velocity distributions on turbine performance are also investigated.

본 연구에 적용된 터빈은 사류형 터빈이며 동익의 외경은 108 mm 이다. 터빈은 1.7-2.0%의 낮은 부분분사율에서 작동하므로 익형은 축류형으로 설계되었으며 2단으로 구성되었다. 분사가 축방향으로 형성된 경우와 반경방향으로 형성된 경우에 따른 성능특성의 차이가 연구되었다. 또한 터빈의 단수에 따른 성능특성도 비교 되었다. 터빈의 작동범위에 따른 비교를 위하여 회전수를 변경하면서 성능평가가 이루어졌을 뿐만 아니라 시스템의 평가를 위하여 총 비토오크가 얻어졌다. 사류형 터빈이므로 축방향으로 분사되는 경우가 반경방향으로 분사되어지는 경우보다는 양호한 성능을 얻었으며, 출구단 동익의 효과는 회전수에 의하여 좌우되지만 축방향 분사터빈 경우에 최대 7.8%의 비토오크 상승의 결과를 보여주었다.

A parametric study of a 2.5 kW class propeller type micro hydraulic turbine was performed. In order to analyze the internal flow characteristics in the hydraulic turbine, three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model were used and the hexahedral grid system was used to construct computational domain. To secure the reliability of the numerical analysis, the grid dependency test was performed using the grid convergence index method based on the Richardson extrapolation, and the grid dependency was removed when about 1.7 million nodes were used. For the parametric study, the axial distance at shroud span (L) between the inlet guide vane and the runner, and the inlet and outlet blade angles (β₁, β₂) of the runner were selected as the geometric parameters. The inlet and outlet angles of the runner were defined in the 3 spans from the hub to tip, and a total of 7 geometric parameters were investigated. It was confirmed that the outlet angles of the runner had the most sensitive effect on the power and efficiency of the micro hydraulic turbine.
