  • In this paper, the response surface method using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis to optimize the shape of a multi-blade centrifugal fan, is described. For numerical analysis, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard k - c turbulence model are transformed into non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Due to the large number of blades in this centrifugal fan, the flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow by introducing the impeller force models for economic calculations. Linear Upwind Differencing Scheme(LUDS) is used to approximate the convection terms in the governing equations. SIMPLEC algorithm is used as a velocity-pressure correction procedure. Design variables, location of cur off, radius of cut off, expansion angle of scroll and width of impeller were selected to optimize the shapes of scroll and blades. Data points for response evaluations were selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method was used for the optimization on the response surface. As a main result of the optimization, the efficiency was successfully improved. It was found that the optimization process provides reliable design of this kind of fans with reasonable computing time.

  • An experimental study of an ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) system has been performed for small-scale applications in the range of a few kW for low-grade-recovery heat sources. The ORC system was equipped with a scroll expander. Experimental tests were carried out using this system, and showed good performance and reliability for the small-scale system. The effects of various operating conditions were selected as the main parameters for the performance of ORC system, such as the expander speeds and mass flow rates of R-134a for expander inlet temperatures ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $190^{\circ}C$, as well as the thermal power, thermal efficiency, expansion efficiency, and volumetric efficiency.

  • The transient characteristics of a 4.0㎾ inverter driven heat pump was investigated by theoretical and experimental studies. The heat pump used in this study consists of a high side scroll compressor and $\Phi$7 compact heat exchangers with two capillary tubes. A series of tests was peformed to examine the transient characteristics of heat pump in heating and cooling mode when the operating speed was varied from 30Hz to 102Hz. One of the major issues that has not been addressed so far is transient characteristics during speed modulation. A cycle simulation model has been developed to predict the cycle performance under frequency rise-up conditions, and the results of theoretical study were compared with the results of experimental study. The theoretical model was driven from mass conservation and energy conservation equations to predict the operation points of refrigerant cycle and the performances at various operating speeds. For transient conditions, the simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental results within 10%. The transient cycle migration of the liquid state refrigerant causes a significant dynamic change in system. Thus, the migration of refrigerant is the most important factor whenever An experimental analysis is performed or A simulation model is developed.

  • There are many attempts to transfer many applications from PC to mobile which has small screen, cause of a development of mobile technology. To display the whole information of the PC on the tiny screen, it makes many Horizontal Scroll, Horizontal Scroll in mobile screen makes people to miss where they are reading easily and such a frequent error makes readability of the information in mobile screen low. We suggest a Line Marker to help readability of the mobile screen high. This study shows the relationship between the conditions of Line Marker such as fixed or moved or not exists and the factors of the reading time and satisfaction.

  • This paper is bibliographical study on Chonshin-sarikyung(全身舍利經 sutra scroll) which is owned by Sungbo museum Woljung-sa(月精寺) in Odae-san(五臺山). Through the investigation with documents and other historical materials in relation to the history of Woljung-sa, I found new prospect that Elder Yuyun of Suda-sa changed name of Woljung-sa at the middle of 13th century. Therefore, as it is considered that construction of Palgakgucheungsuktab(八角九層石塔 Octagonal Nine-storied stone Pagoda) and completion of Chonshinsarikyung were closely related to the rebuilt of Woljung-sa, it is proved that Palgakgucheungsuktab and Chonshin-sarikyung had been completed at this rebuilt period.

  • In order to improve efficiency of a system with three-dimensional flow characteristics, this paper presents a new method that overcomes three-dimensional effects by using two-dimensional CFD and neural network. The method was applied to shape optimization of cut-off in a multi-blade fan/scroll system. As the entrance conditions of two-dimensional CFD, the experimental values at the positions out of the inactive zone were used. The distributions of velocity and pressure obtained by two-dimensional CFD were compared with those of three-dimensional CFD and experimental results. It was found that the distributions of velocity and pressure have qualitative similarity. The results of two-dimensional CFD were used for teaming as target values of neural network. The optimal angle and radius of cut-off were determined as 71$^{\circ}$and 0.092 times the outer diameter of impeller, respectively. It is quantified in the previous report that the optimal angle and radius of cut-off are approximately 72$^{\circ}$and 0.08 times the outer diameter of impeller, respectively.

  • It is not easy to apply a small-sized centrifugal fan to the duct used for the thermal management of home electronic appliances due to complex design parameters of its blades and scroll. The main objective of this study was to develop the systematic process to design an optimal centrifugal fan based on the 3-dimensional configuration of blades obtained from the conceptual design program self-developed with the given design constraints such as the flow rate, the total pressure loss, the size of fan, and the number of rotation. The design process to find an optimal centrifugal fan for refrigerator was technologically linked in many ways. The complex grid generation system of the fan model included scroll was adopted for the numerical simulation. The FVM CFD code, FLUENT, was used to investigate the three dimensional flow pattern at the coordinate system of rotating frame and to check the optimal performance of the fan. By using this design process, a selected centrifugal fan was designed, numerically simulated, manufactured and experimentally tested in the wind tunnel. The performance curve of fan manufactured by NC process was compared with numerically obtained characteristic curve. The developed design method was proved into being excellent because these two curves were well matched.
