This study investigated on details of flow characteristics in a vaneless diffuser of a compressor with 2-dimensional impeller at various flow rates. Experiment for a low speed compressor model in a water reservoir was performed to analyze the flow field in the vaneless diffuser and volute casing, which was done by PIV measurement. It was also focused on the periodic flow patterns occurring at low flow rate near unstable operating region of the compressor. At low flow rate condition, the flow visualization clearly shows that the flow energy from impeller is highly accumulated at the compressor exit by the blockage effect of a flow damper and consequently the reverse flow occurs in the diffuser.

This paper presents the simulator for dynamic modeling of a MT(micro turbine) during start-up period. The simulator is implemented by modeling a dynamic power of main components of a MT including compressor, combustor and turbine. A modeling for a MT under steady state operation can be accurately built from thermodynamics analysis. But dynamic modeling during start-up period is very difficult because efficiency of main components is very low and the designed value has big error and nonlinear characteristics during start-up. In this paper, new method without using thermodynamics analysis during start-up is proposed for the simulator. The power models of main components are derived from analysis of the experimental operation data by test motoring using a electric starter under constant power output. The simulator is developed using MATLAB/Simulink. For constant power output control, sensorless vector inverter is designed and algorithms for starting from stall and method for controling a output power are proposed. The performance of developed simulator is verified by comparing experimental and simulation start-up results.

두꺼운 에어포일은 받음각이 클 때 역압력 구배가 일어날 수 있기 때문에 날개의 중앙부 후방에서 유동박리(Flow separation)와 와류 진동(Vortex shedding)이 쉽게 발생할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 항공기가 이 착륙할 때 받음각이 커짐에 따라 유동박리에 의한 실속이 발생할 수 있는데 이를 지연 시켜 실속각을 크게 하면 안전성이나 효율 면에서 유리하다. 이를 위해 날개에 Hole을 만들어 와류를 잡아 유동의 박리를 지연시키고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON_CFD 시스템의 2D_Incomp_P 솔버를 사용하여 NACA0018 에어포일의 윗면에 다른 위치의 Hole이 있을 때와 크기가 다른 Hole이 있을 때의 실속각이 가장 커지는 경우를 찾아보았다. Hole의 위치와 반지름 크기를 변화시켰을 때 각각의 최대 양력 계수를 비교하여 실속각의 증가와 Streamline을 그려 유동박리가 지연됨을 확인하였다.

The electric motor is essential to drive turbo machinery. In order to overcome the speed limitations of general motors, the inverter is used to perform high speed to tens of rpm. The high speed drives are widely used in many applications such as turbo blower, turbo centrifugal compressors, and pump using air bearing technique. Starting of high speed motor can cause step out, stall, oscillation of motor because the phase inductance is much smaller than that of ordinary motor. This paper studied on the starting characteristic of variable speed centrifugal chiller considering high speed motor characteristics. Finally, the superiority of the inverter is verified by experimental results.

In this study, one-way fluid structure interaction analysis(FSI) on wind turbine blade was performed. Both a quantitative fluid analysis on 3-bladed wind turbine and a structural analysis using the surface pressure data resulting from fluid analysis were carried out. Streamlines and angle of attack was easily acquired from analysis results, we showed the inlet velocity that the stall begins to occur. In the structural analysis, structural displacement and maximum stress of the two comparative models was calculated. The location that has maximum stress was found. The pressure difference between back and front part of the blade increases as the inlet velocity increase. The torque and maximum with regard to inlet velocity was also presented.

Runoff at any given location along a stream can be expressed as a function of its upstream area. The runoff-drainage area relationship can be well expressed as power-law (Brush, 1961) with its exponent, ranging as high as unity (e.g., Stall and Fok, 1968) and as low as 0.5 in natural rivers. Here, we study the runoff-drainage area relationships for Han River and Nakdong River, Korea. We find that the relationships follow power-law and their exponents are highly related with occurrence frequency of flow. To support this, we analyze flow frequency with historical data measured over decades. Findings in this study can broaden our understanding on mechanisms behind the catchment response to runoff.

본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 사용자가 단순히 버튼 만 클릭하면 자동으로 축사의 배설물을 청소하며 작업을 마무리 하게 된다. 만약 온도가 상승하여 위험한 경우가 발생시에는 열 감지 센서가 작동하여 환풍기를 돌리고, 또한 지붕에 물을 분사시켜서 온도를 낮추어 폐사하는 것을 막을 수 있다. 이 시스템은 소수의 인력으로 다양한 크기의 축사를 관리 감독 할 수 있는 특징을 갖는다. 본 연구의 기술은 LabVIEW 소프트웨어 기술과 온도센서 및 전자소자인 스위치를 이용하여 모니터링시스템과 인터페이스 하는 기술이다. 축사의 축소화된 모델을 제작하여 직접 구현하여 문제점들을 보완하는데 주안점을 두었다. 또한 CCD 카메라를 설치하여 원격지에서 직접 축사 현장을 감시하면서 작업을 할 수 있도록 화상 모니터링시스템도 구축하였다.

In this research, we propose an energy harvesting structure with a flexible blade element vibrating at its first mode to maximize the power output of the piezoelectric material. For this purpose, a piezoelectric patch was attached on the blade element used in a small-scale wind turbine, and air load was applied with a suitable angle of attack in the stall zone. The aerodynamic load created by air excitation vibrates the blade element in its first natural frequency and maximizes the voltage output of the piezoelectric patch. The variation of power outputs with respect to electrical resistance, air speed, and extra mass is experimentally investigated for various cases. An analytical model is constituted using a single-mode blade element with piezoelectric patch dynamics, and the power outputs of the obtained model are compared with experimental results.

In this paper, we studied the control strategy of applying STATCOM(static synchronous compensator) to mitigate the FIDVR(fault induced delayed voltage recovery) phenomenon. The proportion of motor loads is gradually increasing which might affect power system stability. Excessive reactive power consumption by the stall of the motor loads causes FIDVR phenomenon. In addition, the low inertia of the small HVAC(heating, ventilation and air conditioner) unit will not separate itself in the event of a contingency, causing system instability. For this reason, we have developed a control strategy that utilizes STATCOM efficiently through static and dynamic analysis. Case studies on a Korean power system have validated the performance of the proposed scheme under severe contingency scenarios. The results have verified that the proposed strategy can effectively mitigate FIDVR and improve the stability and reliability of the system.
