Flow analysis was carried out for a double-suction centrifugal pump. Impeller-only models and a full pump model were used to simulate the velocity field and the pressure field of the pump. Heads and efficiencies were calculated with flow rates in order to obtain general performance of the pump. The calculation results were compared to the experimental data, and satisfactory results were obtained. Thus, it may be said that the CFD serves as a useful tool for pump designs.

Thrust vector control using a coflow-counterflow concept is achieved by suction and blowing through a slot adjacent to a primary jet which is shrouded by a suction collar. In the present study, the flow characteristics of thrust vectoring is investigated using a numerical method. The nozzle has a design Mach number of 2.0, and the operation pressure ratio is varied to obtain various flow features of the nozzle flow. Test conditions are in the range of the nozzle pressure ratio from 6.0 to 10.0, and a suction pressure from 90kPa to 35kPa. Two-dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes computations are conducted with RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. The computational results provide an understanding of the detailed physics of the thrust vectoring process. It is found that an increase in the nozzle pressure ratio leads to increased thrust efficiency but reduces the thrust vector angle.

In point of noise and vibration, it is easy to occur a noise and vibration, because the reciprocal compressor is composed of crank shaft, rod piston and etc. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanism of reciprocal compressor. In this study, we measured the sound pressure level of compressor. There are two dominent frequencies. The first of one results from the suction part. In suction process, the suction valve flutteres, and it produces the noise of the first frequency. The other results from the structural vibration of the shell resonated by discharge pipe. Thus, to reduce the noise of compressor, it will be most efficiency to redesign muffler for the first frequency and discharge pipe for the second frequency.

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.

The cavitation causes suction performance and efficiency of the high-speed pump to be reduced significantly To diminish these effects, the inducer has been used. Most of the inducer is designed at a maximum efficiency point of the pump, therefore suction performance drop due to effects of flow separation and inlet inverse flow is often observed at off-design point. The objective of this study is to find out the cavitation modes at various conditions by applying event detection technique and to design an inducer reducing cavitation. The pressure fluctuations at each cavitating condition were measured at inducer inlet and outlet locations using pressure transducers, which were located 90 degrees apart from each other to identify the cavitation modes. The time-frequency characteristics were analyzed by using Choi-williams distribution. In the second part of this paper, the inducer design method which uses nominal performance characteristic and onset condition of cavitation is introduced and applied to real situation.

A performance prediction method is presented for single(double) suction centrifugal pumps with a review of loss correlations given in the previous open literature. Most of the loss analyses mentioned in the present study are one dimensional and this paper investigates several modeling schemes and shows that a fairly good prediction can be achieved by a proper selection of the most important flow parameters resulting from a mean streamline analysis. Predictions of the trends of total head- capacity and pump efficiency-capacity curves agree well with the experimental data in almost the full range of operating conditions. The prediction method developed through this study can serve as a tool to ensure good matching between parts and it can assist the understanding of the operational characteristics of general purpose centrifugal pumps.

The design of suction muffler for compressor aims to achieve a maximum noise reduction and a minimum pressure loss. Until now, the design process has been performed experimentally rather than theoretically. In this paper, to achieve the maximum noise reduction and minimum pressure loss. we studied the effect of the shape and volume of the expansion tube of the muffler on TL and pressure drop. We made an extensive use of computer program such as SYSNOISE. FLUENT, and STAR-CD to calculate the TL and pressure distribution of suction muffler. The design of the muffler is optimized with respect to flow loss and TL. Experiments are performed to check the result of design change, which proves satisfactory results. It is expected that this process can reduce time to design a muffler in the fields.

This study presents test results of a residential window air-conditioner using R22 and two potential alternative refrigerants, R407C and R410B. A series of performance tests has been carried out for the basic and liquid-suction heat exchange cycles in a psychometric calorimeter test facility. For R407C, the same rotary compressor was used as in the R22 system. However, compressor for the R410B system was modified to provide the similar cooling capacity. The evaporator circuit was changed to get a counter-cross flow heat exchanger to take advantage of zeotropic mixture's temperature glide, and liquid-suction heat exchange cycle was also considered to improve the system performance. Test results were compared with those for the basic R22 system. The modified system with a liquid-suction heat exchanger increased cooling capacity and energy efficiency by up to 5%.

Recently, the cross flow turbines attract more attention for their good performance over a large operating regime at off design point. This study employs a very low head cross flow turbine, which has open inlet duct and has barely been studied before, to investigate the performance of the cross flow turbine with air suction from the rear part of the runner. Unlike conventional cross flow turbines, a draft tube is attached to the outlet of runner to improve the turbine performance. Water level and pressure in the draft tube are monitored to investigate the influence of air suction. Torque at local blade passage of three parts of runner is examined in detail under the conditions of different air suction. Consequently, it is found that with proper air suction in the runner chamber, the water level in the draft tube gradually drops to Stage 2 of the runner and the efficiency of the turbine can be raised by 10%. Overall, the effect of air-layer on the performance of the turbine is considerable.

본 연구에서는 간접흡입식 풍력선별기의 모델에 대하여 폐기물의 선별특성을 전산유체역학적인 방법으로 고찰하여 폐기물 모델에 대한 적정한 항력계수 및 흡입풍속에 대한 결과를 얻었다. 개발중인 풍력선별기는 송풍기를 설치하여 공기를 사이클론 후단에서 흡입하는 방식으로 선별 폐기물이 송풍기 회전차를 통과하지 않는 특징이 있으며, 흡입구의 특성 및 배관의 압력손실이 선별효율에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 풍력선별기를 이용한 폐기물을 선별하기 위해서는 폐기물의 공기역학적 특성에 대한 사전연구가 필수적이다. 비닐의 경우 약 0.8~1.0 내외의 항력계수를 적용하는 것이 타당하며, 캔은 압축여부에 따라 차이가 있으나 0.2~0.7의 범위에 있다. 풍력선별기의 흡입유속에 따른 선별효율은 약 25~26 m/s의 흡입유속에서 가장 높은 효율을 얻었다. 흡입구의 형상, 이송덕트의 배관방법에 따라 압력손실이 발생하여 흡입유속이 변화하므로 표준화를 통해 적절한 설계가 가능하도록 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.
