The kinetics of Ti-transformed Salvia miltiorrhiza cell cultures was studied in 250-$m\ell$ shake flasks by using B5 medium with addition of 30 gfL of sucrose. In the cell cultures, the maximum cell mass obtained was 11.5 g DW/L on day 15. The highest amount of phenolic compounds - rosmarinic acid (RA) and lithospermic acid B (LAB) reached 871.3 mg/L (day 15) and 121.3 mg/L (day 13), respectively. The total tanshinone production, i.e., intracellular plus extracellular cryptotanshinone, tanshinone 1, and tanshinone IIA, was 5.3 mg/L on day 13. For the cultivations in 2.4-L stirred bioreactors, the residual sugar level and medium conductivity were a little higher in a small turbine impeller reactor ($T_s$) than those in a large turbine impeller reactor ($T_L$), while a higher cell density was obtained in the $T_L$. For the production of tanshinones and phenolics, better results were obtained in the $T_L$ than in the $T_s$. In the $T_L$, similar or even a little higher production titers of tanshinones and phenolic compounds were achieved compared to those in the flasks. The results suggest that the shake flask results could be successfully scaled up to the $T_L$ reactor. Such a large impeller reactor like $T_L$ may be better than a small impeller one for the large-scale production of the valuable metabolites by the suspension cultures of Ti transformed S.miltiorrhiza cells. This is considered due to the beneficial culture environment in the $T_L$, such as low shear rates as estimated theoretically.

폴리우레탄폼(PUF)은 연질, 반경질, 경질 형태로 제작이 가능하여 산업적으로 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그 중에서도 경질 폴리우레탄폼은 우수한 기계적 특성과 낮은 열전도도를 가지고 있어, 건축물의 단열재와 천연가스 운수송 분야에서 보냉재로 사용되고 있다. 해당 분야에서는 기계적 강도는 높이고 열전도도는 낮추고자 하는 기술적 수요가 꾸준히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경질 폴리우레탄폼을 제작하고, 교반기의 임펠러 형태(Propeller, Dispersed turbine)에 따른 폼의 미세구조와 물성 변화를 연구하였다. FE-SEM 이미지 및 Micro-CT 분석을 통해 Dispersed turbine으로 제조한 폼의 평균 기공 크기가 Propeller로 제조한 기공보다 21.5% 작은 것을 확인하였다. 압축 강도는 작은 기공을 가진 폼에서 15.4% 향상되었고, 열전도도는 3.1% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 PUF 복합재 제조에 활용될 수 있다.

조류발전용 HAT 임펠러에 팁 레이크를 적용하여 임펠러 성능을 고찰해 보았다. 기존의 조류발전용 임펠러는 날개 끝 보오텍스에 의해 효율 감소로 인한 전력 손실 뿐 아니라 소음 및 진동에 의한 설치해역 주변의 해양 생태계 파괴의 우려가 있다. 임펠러 날개 끝에 레이크를 적용함으로써 효율의 개선과 함께 소음 및 진동 저감 효과를 파악하고자 하였다. 향후 레이크 비율에 따른 효율증가 및 캐비테이션 성능 향상에 대한 최적화를 수행할 계획이다.

New concept of wind energy conversion system is proposed to increase the energy density at a given working space. The quality of wind for wind power generation is depend on its direction and speed. However, the quality is not good on land because wind direction is changeable all the time and the speed as well. The most popularly operated wind turbine system is an axial-flow free turbine. But its conversion efficiency is less than 30% and even less than 20% considering the operating time. In this research, a cross-flow type wind turbine system is proposed with a convergent-divergent duct system to accelerate the low speed wind at the inlet of the wind turbine. Inlet guide vane is also introduced to the wind turbine system to have continuous power generation under the change of wind direction. In here, the availability of wind energy generation is evaluated with the change of the size of the inlet guide vane and the optimum geometry of the turbine impeller blade was found for the innovative wind power generation system.

An unsteady three-dimensional simulation based on Reynolds time-averaged governing equation and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, was presented for pump-as-turbine, the pressure fluctuation characteristic of hydraulic turbine with guide vane was obtained. The results show that the time domains of pressure fluctuation in volute change periodically and have identical cycles. In volute tongue and inlet pressure fluctuations are light, while in dynamic and static coupling interface pressure fluctuations are serious; In impeller blade region the pressure fluctuation of pressure surface are lighter than that of suction surface. The dominant frequencies of pressure fluctuation concentrate in low frequency region, and concentrate within 2 times of the blade passing frequency.

This study is performed to understand the effect of the variation in the passage area of a two-dimensional impeller on its performance characteristics. We observe the results with changing the area ratio of inlet to outlet about $1{\sim}2.8$. A comparison between the experimental and numerical results was performed for the same configuration in order to verify the reliability of the CFD code. Overall characteristics in the passages of impeller were analyzed in detail including streamline, Mach number, pressure and polytropic efficiency distribution. When the passage area ratio exceeds 2, the pressure ratio is high. An area ratio of 2.3 showed the highest efficiency. The results will be used as useful reference data to establish the design concept of two-dimensional impeller and to improve its performance.

The experimental study on the effect of axial clearance between the tip of impeller blades and stationary shroud has been performed. The investigated compressor, which is a part of a small auxiliary power unit engine, consists of a curved inlet, a centrifugal impeller, a channel diffuser and a plenum chamber. It was designed for a total pressure ratio of 4.3 and an efficiency of $77\%$ at design speed of 60,000 rpm. The experiments are carried out in an open-loop centrifugal compressor test rig driven by a turbine. For the four different clearance ratios Cr(clearance/impeller tip width) of 6.25, 10.93, 15.60 and 20.30 percent, the overall performance data are obtained at $97\%,\;90\%$ and $80\%$ of the design speed. The results show the overall pressure ratio decrease of $7.7\%$ and the efficiency loss of $8.7\%$ across the variation of clearance ratio near the design speed. It also indicates that the influence of tip clearance became weaker as the flow rate is reduced and the stable operating range is not significantly influenced by the change of clearance ratio.

Procedures and results of aerodynamic design of a centrifugal compressor are presented for development of a 40kW class turbogenerator gas turbine. Specification of higher level of total pressure ratio of 4 and total efficiency of $80\%$ requires advanced methods of design and analysis. In the meanline design/analysis, a method with conventional loss modeling and a method with the two-zone model are alternately used for more reliable prediction. In the impeller blade generation, a series of Bezier curve are combined to produce meridional contours and distributions of blade camber angle and blade thickness. Intermediate profiles of blades are repeatedly produced and changed to be finally fixed through quasi-three dimensional Euler flow analysis. Three dimensional compressible turbulent flow analysis is then performed for the impeller to be confirmed in the final step of design. Satisfactory results in the aerodynamic performance are obtained, which assures that there is no need of aerodynamic re-design.

This paper presents the design procedure of a vertical wind turbine named jet-wheel-turbo turbine and the numerical and experimental verifications. The design parameters such as the rotor inlet angle, the diameter-to-hub ratio, the inlet guide outlet angle and the solidity were optimized to maximize the energy transfer, and to further increase the turbine efficiency by applying the side guide vane and the side opening to the rotor. The maximum power coefficient of 0.59, which is much higher than the ever-designed three-bladed horizontal turbines, was experimentally obtained when the optimal inlet- and side-guide vanes were installed and both sides of the rotor were 80% opened. The maximum power coefficients occur at the tip speed ratio ranging between 0.6 and 0.7. This vertical-axis turbine model can be applied to the large-scale power generation system with the speed and torque control algorithm for the specified wind characteristics.
