Turbocharger has been widely used in many passenger cars in application with diesel engines because of high power and fuel efficiency. However, flow-induced noise (whoosh or hissing noise) which is generated within a compressor during its operation at marginal surge line can deteriorate noise characteristics. Hissing noise excitation is associated with the generation of turbulence within the turbocharger compressor and radiated through the transmission path in a turbocharger system. In this study, a expansion muffler with lids is devised and installed in the transmission path to reduce the hissing noise. Acoustic and fluid dynamic characteristics for the muffler are investigated which are related to the unsteadiness of turbulence and pressure in the turbocharger system. A transfer matrix method is used to analyze the transmission loss of the muffler. A simple expansion muffler with lids is proposed for the reduction of high frequency component noise. Turbulence simulation is carried out by a standard k - ${\varepsilon}$ model. An optimal design condition of the muffler is obtained by extensive acoustic and fluid dynamic analysis on the engine dynamometer with anechoic chamber. A significant reduction of the hissing noise is achieved at the optimal design of the muffler as compared with the conventional muffler.

We are working on improving the performance by applying the three-dimensional design element to the rotor blades of high pressure supersonic impulse turbine that drives turbo pump of liquid rocket engine. In this paper, based on the shape of a rotor blade of a turbopump turbine designed in the past, a three-dimensional shape is applied to a rotor blade through a stacking line change such as sweep and dihedral. After performing the flow analysis, the changes in the turbine performance characteristics for each design element were carefully examined and the results were summarized.

In this study, Real Coded Genetic Algorithm(RCGA) and Artificial Neural Network(ANN) are used for developing the defect diagnostics of the aircraft turbo-shaft engine. ANN accompanied with large amount data has a most serious problem to fall in the local minima. Because of this weak point, it becomes very difficult to obtain good convergence ratio and high accuracy. To solve this problem, GA based ANN has been suggested. GA is able to search the global minima better than ANN. GA based ANN has shown the RMS defect error of 5% less in single and dual defect cases.

It is common for highly loaded supersonic stage to have very high relative inlet Mach number. To get this level of inlet Mach number, rotor blade outer diameter or rotational speed should be increased. In the case of commercial turbo-fan engine, it is preferred to make the rotor blade outer diameter large than increasing the rotational speed. But, for multi-stage fan of military engines, overall diameter is often restricted and they are apt to increase the rotational speed. With high rotational speed, relative inlet Mach number is likely to be well supersonic over the entire rotor blade span and the characteristic of the stage is affected with meridional shape of the stage, especially at near hub or tip. In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of two different hub surface shape is compared and it's merit and demerits were discussed.

본 논문은 Comprex압력파 과급기(Pressure-wave Supercharger;이하 PWS)의 공기 역학적인 원 리에 대해 기술하였으며, 또 기체 동력학적인 현상들이 별도의 제어장치없이도 우수한 운전성과 낮은 연료소모율, 적은 배기 배출물을 형성하는 차량들에 대해 기계적으로는 간단하면서도 완벽 한 boosting장치를 만들어 내는데 어떻게 사용될 수 있는지를 설명하였다. 근본적인 목적은 종 래의 turbo charger와 동일이지만 Comprex PWS는 현재 응용되고 있는 승용차가 요구하는 여러 가지면, 즉 1) 부하변동에 대한 충진공기압의 빠른 응답성 2) 엔진속도 전영역에 걸친 높은 boost 효과 3) 배기배출물특성을 좋게할 수 있는 배기가스 재순환(EGR)효과 등에서 종래의 것과 구별된다. 따라서 PWS의 중요한 특징들을 기술하였으며 마지막으로 최근 자동차용 Diesel Engine에의 몇 가지 예를 보았다.

A cascade wind tunnel test for a turbine nozzle, which was designed for a small turbo jet engine in a previous study, has been conducted to evaluate its aerodynamic performance and losses. The large-scale blades were based on the mid-span profile of the nozzle. Oil film flow structure, and then 3-dimensional velocity components were measured in the flow passage with a 5-hold pressure probe, in addition to turbulent intensities at mid-span of cascade exit using a hot-wire anemometer. From this study, 3-dimensional growth of horseshoe and passage vortices in the downstream direction was clearly understood with near-wall flow phenomena. In addition, secondary flow and losses associated with the blade configuration were obtained in detail.

In enhancing the technologies for the highly efficient and low pollution vehicles, the emitted sound by applying those techniques is degraded, which needs further vibro-acoustic tuning. The point of concern is usually related to the sound quality, and, sometimes, to the direct connection with the pedestrian safety. In this talk, a brief discussion is given to the sound quality issues on the start-stop function, cylinder-on-demand, engine down-sizing, turbo-chargers, road noise, and artificial warning sound.

For a short time a pyre-starter should turn the blades of a turbine to the adequate rotational speed by a single operation. Through this process the pressures of the components of a propellant rise rapidly up to the operating point, and the components enter into a gas-generator. Combustion in the gas-generator occurs to keep the turbopumps working. In this research characteristic parameters of a pyre-starter which correspond to the required performance of the turbopump before the gas-generator starts to work were selected

This paper deals with developing an Expert system for tool selection using knowledge base system approach, and its application. For the sake of building of knowledge base, the information from process through sensor, tool handbook and interview with expert are referrenced and managed. The system developed shows good application flexibility in providing the actual cutting process with the selection of tool(insert, holder) and cutting conditions(feed, speed, rake type, and so on), is found as a useful system for real-time machining process. The Expert system for tool selection is written in TURBO PROLOG ver. 2.0 for inference engine capability, and can be run in interactive mode for user friendliness. In order to apply the system developed in actual cutting process, more parameters should be considered and scrutinized, and the system should be further extended in modular basis.
