The mixing vanes attached to the spacer grid of rod bundles are used to improve the heat transfer in heat exchanger devices by controlling the characteristics of the flow structures and turbulence. In this study, velocity patterns induced by two types of mixing vane(split and swirl vane) are measured by the PIV technique to better understand how to effect on the cross and secondary vortex flow patterns in $5{\times}$ rod bundle simulating the fuel assembly of the nuclear reactor. A successful measurement of the lateral velocity patterns was conducted using a specially designed beam sheet generator and experimental loop at KAERI. As the result, we found that for the cross flow between subchannels, the split vane is more effective than the swirl vane, while for the secondary vortex flow in each subchannel, the swirl vane's one is larger and longer than split vane's one.

Thus, this study aimed to develop a gear-type vane damper in order to replace the link-type vane damper. To achieve this goal, the torque generated in a gear-type vane damper was analyzed, and a structural analysis was conducted. In addition, the fluid flow was analyzed according to the changes in the vane's angle, and experimental tests such as a dry-heat test and cold test were conducted considering the operating conditions of the vessels. Moreover, an appropriate actuator was selected for the developed gear-type vane damper, and studies on the reduction in the backlash due to the facing-pressure adjustment length and flow rate and leakage test due to the vane's angle were conducted.

In this study, the characteristic of a vane pump of automotive power steering system is numerically analyzed. The vane pump changes the energy level of operation fluid by converting mechanical input power to hydraulic output. To simulate this mechanism, moving mesh technique is adopted. As a result, the flow rate and pressure are obtained by numerical analysis. The flow rate agrees well with the experimental data. Moreover, the variation and oscillation of the pressure around the rotating vane are observed. As a result of flow characteristics, The difference of pressure between both side of vane tip causes the back flow into the rotor. As the rotational velocity increases, the flow rate at the outlet and the pressure in the vane tip rises with higher amplitude of oscillation. In order to reducing the oscillation, the design of devices for decreasing the cross-area of the outlet part and returning the flow from the outlet to the inlet is required.

This paper investigates a variable geometry (VG) mixed flow turbine with a novel, purposely designed pivoting nozzle vane ring. The nozzle vane ring was matched to the 3-dimensional aspect of the mixed flow rotor leading edge with lean stacking. It was found that for a nozzle vane ring in a volute, the vane surface pressure is highly affected by the flow in the volute rather than the adjacent vane surface interactions, especially at closer nozzle positions. The performance of the VG mixed flow turbine has been evaluated experimentally in steady and unsteady flow conditions. The VG mixed flow turbine shows higher peak efficiency and swallowing capacity at various vane angle settings compared to an equivalent nozzleless turbine. Comparison with an equivalent straight vane arrangement shows a higher swallowing capacity but similar efficiencies. The VG turbine unsteady performance was found to deviate substantially from the quasi-steady assumption compared to a nozzleless turbine. This is more evident in the higher vane angle settings (smaller nozzle passage), where there are high possibility of choking during a pulse cycle. The presented steady and unsteady results are expected to be beneficial in the design of variable geometry turbochargers, especially the ones with a mixed flow turbine.

The aerodynamic characteristics of large transport vehicle has become more and more important in recent vehicle design to improve driving performance in high speed cruising and raise the product valve with regard to a comfortable driving condition. Hence, detailed knowledge of the flow field around truck coner vane is essential to improve fuel efficiency and reduce the dirt contamination on vehicle body surface. In this study, three-dimensional flow characteristics around corner vane attached to truck cabin were computed for the steady, incompressible, and high speed viscous flow, adopting the RNG k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. In order to investigate the influence of configuration and structure of corner vane, computations were carried out for four cases at a high Reynolds number, Re=4.1$\times$106 (based on the cabin height). The global flow patterns, drag coefficient and the distributions such as velocity magnitude, turbulent kinetic energy around the corner vane, were examined. As a result of this study, we could identify the flow characteristics around corner vane for the variation of corner vane length and width. Also, suggest the improved structure to reduce the dirt contamination in cabin side.

다섯 종류의 시판 고추장에 대한 항복응력은 vane 방법에 의해 controlled shear-rate 조건에서 측정되었다. Vane 항복응력은 전단속도와 전단응력 데이터의 외삽법(extrapolation)에 의해 결정된 Casson 항복응력 보다 높은 수치를 보여주었다. 고추장의 구조가 손상되지 않은 시료와 이미 손상된 시료에 대해 vane 방법에 의해 정적항복응력$({\sigma}_s)$과 동적항복음력$({\sigma}_d)$이 각각 측정되었으며 큰 수치 차이로부터 고추장에 대한 구조파괴 정도를 결정하는 데 있어 vane 방법이 적합함을 알 수 있었다. ${\sigma}_{ov}({\sigma}_{s},\;{\sigma}_{d})$와 ${\sigma}_{oc}$ 수치 사이에는 좋은 상관관계를 보여주고 있으며 ${\sigma}_{d}$ 수치는 외삽법에 의해 얻어진 ${\sigma}_{oc}$ 수치와 잘 일치함을 나타냈다. ${\sigma}_{s}$와 ${\sigma}_{d}$의 비율로부터 얻어진 무차원 yield number$(N{\sigma}_{o})$는 고추장의 일시적 구조 존재여부를 결정하는데 사용될 수 있다. $N{\sigma}_{o}$로부터 계산된 fator ${\varepsilon}$의 수치$({\varepsilon}=0.100-0.169)$로부터 고추장은 강한 결착구조를 형성하고 있는 분산식품임을 알 수 있었다.

As an important device in the nuclear island, the nuclear coolant pump can continuously provide power for medium circulation. The vane is one of the stationary parts in the nuclear coolant pump, which is installed between the impeller and the casing. The shape of the vane plays a significant role in the pump's overall performance and stability which are the important indicators during the safety serve process. Hence, the bionic concept is firstly applied into the design process of the vane to improve the performance of the nuclear coolant pump. Taking the scaled high-performance hydraulic model (on a scale of 1:2.5) of the coolant pump as the reference, a united bionic design approach is proposed for the unique structure of the guide vane of the nuclear coolant pump. Then, a new optimization design platform is established to output the optimal bionic vane. Finally, the comparative results and the corresponding mechanism are analyzed. The conclusions can be gotten as: (1) four parameters are introduced to configure the shape of the bionic blade, the significance of each parameter is herein demonstrated; (2) the optimal bionic vane is successfully obtained by the optimization design platform, the efficiency performance and the head performance of which can be improved by 1.6% and 1.27% respectively; (3) when compared to the original vane, the optimized bionic vane can improve the inner flow characteristics, namely, it can reduce the flow loss and decrease the pressure pulsation amplitude; (4) through the mechanism analysis, it can be found out that the bionic structure can induce the spanwise velocity and the vortices, which can reduce drag and suppress the boundary layer separation.

An experimental study on the performance and instability development characteristics of a centrifugal compressor equipped with an adjustable inlet guide vane has been performed with varying guide vane angles. The test was conducted at the design speed of 20,800 rpm for 6 guide vane angles : $-30^{\circ},\;-20^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;0^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;20^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$. Unsteady pressures were measured using high-frequency pressure transducers at the inducer to investigate the instability phenomena such as rotating stall and surge inside the compressor. From the unsteady measurements, it is found that the transient process from rotating stall to surge was mainly affected by inlet guide vane angles. The results of the present study can be applied to the instability control of the centrifugal compressors using a adjustable inlet guide vane.

본 논문에서는 평택화력 제2호기 FDF(Forced Draft Fan : 압입송풍기, 이하 FDF) 출구의 공기량제어를 Vane Control 시스템으로 구성되어 있는 것을 구동 유도전동기에 가변속 제어시스템(이하 VFD: Variable Frequency Drive)으로 교체하여 발생한 실험결과를 보여준다. VFD는 Vane을 전개(全開)하고 전동기 속도를 변경시켜 연소에 필요한 노내 공기량을 제어하는 방식이다. VFD 운전은 정속도 Vane 개도 운전에 비해 Throttle Loss를 최소화해서 에너지 절감효과는 크지만 간단한 Vane 제어기에 비해 복잡한 전력전자제어시스템이 어우러진 기기로 신뢰도는 떨어지는 것이 사실이다. 따라서 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 전력생산 보일러에서 후비보호책으로 VFD 고장 시에 Vane제어 모드로 절환은 필연적으로 필요한 설비이다. VFD에서 Vane으로 절환 시에 일어나는 과도상태를 최소화하기 위해서는 보일러 연소제어 알고리즘의 최적화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 구현된 제어알고리즘을 정리한 것이다.
