The Kaplan turbine model has been tested and analyzed. The blade angle and the guide vane opening of the turbine model were designed to be varied according to the best combination of guide vane and runner blade opening. When the changes in head and output were comparatively large, the efficiency drop were small, so the efficiency characteristics and stability of the entire operating condition were maintained in good condition. These results showed that the developed model in this study will be suitable for small hydropower stations with large changes In head and load such as agricultural reservoir.

본 연구는 GE 7FA+e DLN 2.6 가스터빈 연소기를 축소 제작한 모형 가스터빈 연소기의 연소 동특성 및 연소불안정 현상을 알아보고 위해 진행되었다. 모형 연소기에 사용된 연료노즐은 1/3 크기로 상사하여 제작되었으며, 실제 연료노즐과 동일한 2단 스월러(swirl vane)를 가지고 있다. Plenum과 연소기의 형상은 실 가스터빈과 유사한 음향학적 특성을 가질수 있도록 설계되었다. 실험은 공기온도 $200{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, 대기압, 노즐출구 속도 $30{\sim}75\;m/s$, 당량비 $0.4{\sim}1.2$, 연소실 길이 $375{\sim}700\;mm$,에서 이루어졌으며, 그 결과 소염영역 근처의 저 당량비 영역과 당량비 1.1 이상인 연료 과농 상태에서 연소 불안정 현상이 관찰 되었다.

최근 고온부품의 기술발전으로 고효율 가스터빈 발전설비들이 운전되고 있으나 국내의 가스터빈설비는 일일 기동정지를 반복 운전하므로써 열싸이클에 의한 블레이드와 베인의 재료물성은 급격히 나빠지고 있다. 현재 가스터빈 부품 교체와 정비는 제작사에 의존하고 있는 실정으로 이에 본 연구에서 독자적인 교체 및 정비 관리 기준을 위해 수명평가와 손상분석의 기초자료로 활용하고자 실제 운전된 가스터빈 고압 1단 블레이드와 베인의 사용시간별 손상거동을 분석하였다. 사용재의 블레이드는 등가운전시간(EOH)이 23,686, 27,909 및 52,859 이고 베인은 28,714 및 52,859 으로 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 ${\gamma}$'의 크기는 증가하고 형상은 구형 또는 판상으로 변형되었다. 블레이드는 leading edge영역, 베인은 center영역에서 가장 큰 미세조직의 열화가 관찰되었으며 이는 경도의 감소경향과 일치하였다. 열차폐 코팅층내 bond코팅층에서는 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 표면산화층의 두께가 증가하였다.

Gas turbines are extensively used in flight propulsion, electrical power generation, and other industrial applications. During its life span, a turbine blade is taken out periodically for repair and maintenance. This includes re-coating the blade surface and re-drilling the cooling holes/channels. A successful laser re-drilling requires the measurement of a hole within the accuracy of ${\pm}0.15mm$ in position and ${\pm}3^{\circ}$ in orientation. Detection of gas turbine blade/vane cooling hole position and orientation thus becomes a very important step for the vane/blade repair process. The industry is in urgent need of an automated system to fulfill the above task. This paper proposes approaches and algorithms to detect the cooling hole position and orientation by using a vision system mounted on a robot arm. The channel orientation is determined based on the alignment of the vision system with the channel axis. The opening position of the channel is the intersection between the channel axis and the surface around the channel opening. Experimental results have indicated that the concept of cooling hole identification is feasible. It has been shown that the reproducible detection of cooling channel position is with +/- 0.15mm accuracy and cooling channel orientation is with +/$-\;3^{\circ}$ with the current test conditions. Average processing time to search and identify channel position and orientation is less than 1 minute.

Recently, micro hydropower attracts attention because of its clean, renewable and abundant energy resources to develop. However, suitable turbine type is not normalized yet in the range of micro hydropower and it is necessary to study for the effective turbine type. Moreover, relatively high manufacturing cost by the complex structure of the turbine is the highest barrier for developing the micro hydropower turbine. Therefore, a cross-flow turbine is proposed for micro-hydropower in this study because of its simple structure and high possibility of applying to low head. The purpose of this study is to further simplify the turbine structure and improve the performance, A guide vane is removed and the runner chamber is made compact using a new air supply method. The results show that the efficiency of the turbine is improved in a wide operating range and the size of the turbine is remarkably reduced.

This paper presents a CFD-based methodology for the prediction of guide vane torque in hydraulic turbine distributor for aligned and misaligned configurations. A misaligned or desynchronized configuration occurs when the opening angle of one guide vane differs from the opening angle of all other guide vanes, which may lead to a torque increase on neighbouring guide vanes. A fully automated numerical procedure is presented, that automates computations for a complete range of operation of a 2D or 3D distributor. Results are validated against laboratory measurements.

Recently, small hydropower attracts attention because of its renewable, clean and abundant energy resources to develop. Therefore, a tubular type hydro turbine is proposed for small hydropower in this study because the turbine has relatively simple structure and high possibility of applying to small hydropower. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance characteristics of the turbine by field test. Field test iss conducted using one tubular turbine system as well as serial arrangement system by two tubular turbines taking into consideration of actual operation conditions. The results show that efficiency of test turbine changes considerably by the runner vane angle. Best efficiency of one turbine arrangement is higher than that of two turbine serial arrangement.

The effects of interaction between partially premixed and premixed swirl flames on CO and NOx emissions were experimentally investigated using a hybrid/dual swirl jet combustor for a micro-gas turbine. Under the condition of constant angle ($45^{\circ}$) for outer swirl vane, the angle and direction of inner swirl vane installed for a partially premixed flame were varied as main parameters with a constant fuel flow rate for each nozzle. It was found that for all conditions, CO and NOx emissions were measured below 4 ppm and 15 ppm at 15% $O_2$, respectively, in a wide range of equivalence ratio (0.6~0.9). For co-swirl flows, CO emission increased dramatically as the angle of inner swirl vane increased from $15^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ near lean-flammability limit (i.e. equivalence ratio of 0.5). On the other hand, the case of swirl $angle=45^{\circ}$ provided the lowest NOx emission at higher equivalence ratios than 0.6. For counter-swirl flows, the case of swirl $angle=45^{\circ}$ extended the lean-flammability limit but higher NOx emissions were found compared to those of co-swirl flows. These results could be inferred by interaction between (inner) partially premixed and (outer) premixed swirl flames. However, these estimations were not clear yet because there was insufficient data on turbulent flow structure and fuel-air mixing in the present experimental approach.
