Thermodynamic method of pump performance measurement calculates pump efficiency and flowrate by measuring fluid temperature increase and pressure rise through the pump. The theory of this method is investigated and precise comparison experiment with classical hydraulic method was conducted to verify the accuracy. Classical hydraulic pump performance measurement results and Yatesmeter results based on the thermodynamic method showed good agreement in measured performance.

Centrifugal pump shows the strongest secondary flow. Wake is formed near pressure surface close to hub at impeller exit for centrifugal pump impeller. Pressure gradient drives secondary flow in the inducer region, while in the remaining region the following sources drive together: > Pressure gradient > Coriolis force Low-momentum fluid near suction surface hub moves toward pressure surface hub in mixed-flow pump impeller. Tip leakage vortex dominate secondary flow in axial-flow pump impeller. Tip leakage vortex dominate secondary flow in axial-flow in axial-flow pump impeller

Dynamic loads may arise from rotating parte of pump if they are insufficiently balanced. The magnitude of pump induced vibrations varies according to the weight, eccentricity, and unbalanced mass of pump. This is a study to estimate the pump induced vibration in time and frequency domain by transfer function. The transfer function has real and imaginary information of signals, and response function has also real and imaginary information. So the vibration force can be obtained from the response and transfer function by complex calculation. The amplitudes and components of 50Hp pump vibration force are suggested.

The performance characteristics of heating and cooling operation for a heat pump system using seawater heat source and exhaust energy are presented. The heat pump system is made of a waste heat recovery system and a vapor compression refrigeration system. The working fluid is R-22. The heat pump system COPs are measured during heating and cooling operation modes, and the resultant COPs were 9.7 and 7.9, respectively, which are three times higher than those of the heat pump itself. Therefore, the performance of the heat pump system using exhaust energy is excellent compared to that of a general heat pump. The experimental data can be effectively used for the design of the high efficient heat pump using a seawater heat source.

The engine cooling system for a medium duty V6, 4.5 L diesel engine was modeled with a commercial code, GT-Cool in order to investigate the effect of controllable electric pump on the cooling performance and the fuel economy. The simulation results of the cooling system model with mechanical coolant pump were validated with experimental data. Two different types of electric pumps were implemented into the cooling system model and PID control for electric pump operation was incorporated into the simulation study. Based on the simulation result with electric pump, conventional thermostat hysteresis was modified to reduce pump operation for additional improvement of fuel economy, and then the benefit of electric pumps with modified thermostat hysteresis on fuel economy was demonstrated with the simulation. The predicted result indicates that the cooling system with electric pump and modified thermostat hysteresis can reduce pump power consumption by more than $99\%$ during the FTP 74 driving cycle.

21세기에 가장 시급하게 확보되어야 하는 기술은 BT (Biotechnology)와 NT(Nano technology)를 접목시키는 기술이다. 특히, 이들을 종합한 MEMS에 관한 연구는 가장 광범위한 분야에서 활발하게 이루어지고 있어 그 기술적 가치가 점차 중요시되고 있다 본 연구는 Simulation을 통하여 Bio-MEMS기술에서 사용되는 미세Pump 내에서의 유체흐름을 Fluent 프로그램을 사용하여 알아보고자 하였다. 즉, 미세Pump 내로 유체가 흐를 경우, 유체의 압력변화나 온도 변화 및 Model에 따른 유동의 흐름을 관찰하여 미세pump 내에서의 최적의 외부조건과 최적의 Pump모델을 알아보고자 실험하였다. 유동의 흐름을 조사해 본 결과 Chamber의 유무에 따라 압력과 온도의 변화를 관찰할 수 있었다. Chamber가 있는 경우 압력의 변화가 적었고 온도의 변화 또한 적었다. 따라서 Chamber가 있는 Pump가 유체의 흐름에 영향을 적게 줌을 알 수 있었으며 이는 Chamber가 있는 Pump를 설계하는 것이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

Diesel engines have the advantages of good fuel efficiency and low emissions. Therefore, car makers have been developed various kinds of diesel engine management system to clean up emissions while improving fuel efficiency. One of them is the common rail system. In the common rail system, diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at ultra high pressures up to 1,800 bar to ensure more complete combustion for cleaner exhaust gas, and highly precise multiple injection reduces NOx emission, combustion noise and vibration. Generally speaking, common rail system consists of booster pump, high pressure pump, common rail, injectors, control valves, and sensors. The high pressure pump receives low pressure fuel from the booster pump and supply high pressure fuel to injectors through the high pressure common injection rail. Therefore, high pressure pump has an important role in common rail system. In this paper, we have investigated the performance of high pressure pump of common rail system.

A multi-type heat pump controls the mass flow rate of the working fluid to cope with variable heat loads when it is under dynamic load condition. This paper describes the exergy analysis associated with the dynamic response of heat pump. First, a basic heat pump cycle is examined at steady state to show the general trends of exergy changes in each process of the cycle. Entropy generation issue in the exchangers is discussed to optimize the heat pump cycle. Second, the performance of the inverter-driven heat pump is compared to that of the conventional one when the heat load is variable. Third, the exergy destruction rate associated with the ON/OFF operations of the heat pump is calculated by simulating the thermodynamic states of the condenser and the evaporator. The inefficiency of the ON/OFF operation during the transient period is quantitatively revealed by the exergy analysis.

A set of experiments using a 1/10 scale model pump which was manufactured to simulate performance of reactor coolant pump(RCP) of Y.G.N # 3 and 4, was executed in single phase(at atmospheric pressure and room temperature) and near-saturation(300 ~ 600kPa). The pump characteristics in single phase flow was similar to the characteristics of the RCP. The pump characteristic curves at nearly saturated state were correlated in terms of flow coefficient and head coefficient for subcooled temperature using the cavitation number defined as (equation omitted), which can be predicted the cavitation possibility. The pump behavior around the saturated temperature almost consists with single phase behavior until the cavitation occurs(When cavitation occurs. When the flow coefficient is about 0.12), the pump head rapidly degrades. In this situation, subcooled temperature is about 1.8~8$^{\circ}C$ and cavitation number of model pump is 1.0 ~ 1.7.

It is reported recently that the pump head deterioration near the best efficiency point, from single-phase flow to the choke due to air entrainment became less in a screw-type centrifugal pump than in a general centrifugal pump. Moreover, at a narrow tip clearance, the pump head became partially higher in two-phase flow than that in single-phase flow. However, the internal pressure fluctuations on this pump due to air entrainment have not been studied yet. For that reason, we have examined the influences of void fraction, flow coefficient and impeller tip clearance on pressure fluctuations in the casing. The void fraction became larger, the influence of tip clearance on pressure distribution became less.
