This paper summarizes the experimentally-measured performance of small-scale, vertical-axis wind turbine for the purpose of improving the aerodynamic efficiency and its controllability. The turbine is designed to have a Savonius-Type rotor with an inlet guide-vane and an side guide-vane so that it achieves a higher efficiency than any lift- or drag-based turbines. The main design factors for this high-efficient, vertical wind turbine are the number of blades (Z), and the aspect ratio of Height/Diameter (H/D) among many. The basic model has the diameter of 580mm, the height of 464mm, and the blade number of 10. The maximum power coefficient of 0.50 was experimentally measured for the above-mentioned specifications. The inlet-guide vane ensures the maximum efficiency when the angle of attack to the rotor blade lies between $15^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$. This experimental results for the vertical-axis wind turbine can be applied to the preliminary design of turbine output curve based on the wind characteristics at the proposed site by controlling its aerodynamic performance given as a priori.

Heat transfer coefficients and static pressure distributions on a gas turbine vane endwall were experimentally investigated in a 5 bladed linear cascade. The Reynolds number based on an axial chord length and the cascade exit velocity was 500,000. Both heat transfer and pressure measurements on the vane endwall were made at the two different turbulence intensity levels of 6.8% and 10.8%. Detailed heat transfer coefficient distributions on the vane endwall region were measured using a hue detection based transient liquid crystals technique. Results show various regions of high and low heat transfer coefficients on the vane endwall surface due to several types of secondary flows and vortices. Heat transfer coefficient and endwall static pressure distributions showed similar trends for both turbulence intensity, however, the averaged heat transfer coefficients for higher turbulence intensity case was higher than the lower turbulence intensity case by 15%.

본 연구에서는 폐열회수 발전시스템에 적용가능한 100kW급 구심터빈을 대상으로 베인노즐의 출구각도 변화에 따른 구심터빈의 성능과 내부유동의 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 상용코드를 이용한 3차원 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 베인노즐 출구각이 커짐에 따라 블레이드 근처 재순환영역은 점차 작아 졌으며, 또한 단면축소효과로 인해 베인노즐 출구끝단 마하수는 1까지 관찰되었다. 본 연구를 통해 분석된 해석결과는 목표출력용 구심터빈의 최적 설계파라미터 구성을 위한 설계자료로 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

A heating flow discharged from a 4-way ceiling type indoor unit has been investigated using a PIV(particle image velocimetry) system For the PIV measurements, an experimental model of 1/10 scale with a transparent room was devised by satisfying the Archimedes number, which is generally used in case that the forced convection has the similar magnitude as the natural convection. To optimize the heating flow, several vane angles and vane control algorithms of cross and right angle controls were considered. Regarding the vane angle, the experimental results show that it should be less than $30^{\circ}$ to avoid re-suction flows which decrease the performance of the air-conditioner. At the vane angle of $30^{\circ}$, applying open/close control gives nae to more uniform distribution of the heating flow than without control. Especially, the cross-control seems to be satisfactory for the thermal comfort.

The numerical study was conducted to investigate the pump performance due to impeller related parameters change in centrifugal pump of very low specific speed by using CFD code. A small centrifugal pump whose specific speed is $N_s=76.2$ was used, and the performance characteristics were discussed for different number of vanes, rotational speed, and the length and height of vane. The numerical results at a very low specific speed show that the increase of the number of vanes has little effect on improvement of output pressure but results in the reduction of pressure fluctuation, and that the head increases with the increase in the rotational speed. The decreasing the length of vane has a considerable reduction of the capacity coefficient in comparison with decreasing the height of vane.

This paper reports on theoretical study of the pressure overshoot in the delivery ports and pressure rising within balanced type vane pump. Pressure overshoot occur due to the accelerated fluid through the notch, so, result in pressure ripple, flow ripple, and noise. For calculating the pressure rising and fluctuations of pressure, we have modeled mathematically used continuity equation based on compressibility and momentum equation considered fluid inertia in the notch, and analyzed simultaneously. As a results of analysis, we have found oscillation of pressure and compression chamber pressure depend on the rotational speeds, bulk modulus of working fluid, notches, number of vane and camring. Using the model, notches have been shown to be important design factor in relaxing the rapid pressure rising and reducing the amplitudes of pressure overshoot.

In the present study, the effects of the design factors and operating conditions on flow characteristics of a vane pump for the automotive power steering system has been analyzed numerically. An unsteady moving mesh technique with cell expansion/contraction method is used to simulate the rotation of vanes with respect to stationary inlet and outlet. As a result, the flow characteristics of the flow rate and pressure rise across the vane pump were obtained. The numerical analyses for the various design factors such as number of vanes and thickness between the rotor and camring and for various operating conditions such as rotational speed and pressure difference between inlet and outlet were extensively performed. And the results were discussed in the paper.

SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) process is presently considered as one of the most effective techniques for removing nitric oxides from exhaust gases. In this study, based on the conceptually designed SCR reactor of 500 MW coal fired power plant. a reduced scale (1/20) SCR reactor model was made to analyze the flow pattern in front of catalyst layer according to the guide vane's design factors such as the number, interval, and angle of vanes. The results of the test were compared to those numerical simulation in order to assure the reliability of two methods. On the basis of our study. the critical Reynolds number (2.0$\times$ 10$^{5}$ ) was proposed for ensuring the similarity between the reduced scale model and the prototype of SCR reactor. Optimum design parameters of guide vanes were determined as follows, 4 vanes, the first vane angle of 93$^{\circ}$, and the vane intervals of 0.85 S/n, 1.05 S/n, 1.1 S/n, 1.0S/n, 1.0S/n (S: the distance of duct, n: the number of guide vanes). The excellent agreement between the results of the numerical simulation and the reduced scale model provides the validation of two methods for prediction of flow through SCR reactor.

In this study, the effects of the impeller shapes on the pump performances of the non-clogging and the screw-type centrifugal pumps are experimentally studied. The characteristics of total head, efficiency and power of the non-clogging pump increase as the number of vanes increases. The screw-type centrifugal pump with the linear-shape vane shows a little better performance than that of the screw-type centrifugal pump with the curved-shape vane. The differences in the characteristics of total head, efficiency and power are, however, insignificant. Therefore, it is advisable that, considering the convenience of pump manufacturing, the screw-type centrifugal pump with the linear-shape vane should be used. This study also compares the pump characteristics of the non-clogging pump and screw-type centrifugal pump. The characteristics of total head and efficiency of the non-clogging pump are better than those of the screw-type centrifugal pump. The screw-type centrifugal pump requires more shaft power than the non-clogging pump.

Copper magnetron anode of a microsave-over consists of an cylindrical outer-tube and various inner-vanes. The magnetron anode is produced by the complex processes; vane blanking, pipe cutting and silver-alloy brazing of vanes. Recently, the backward extrusion process for forming vanes has been developed to avoid the complex procedures. The developed process is analyzed by using upper-bound elemental technique (UBET). In the UBET analysis, the upper-bound load, the configuration and the vane-height of final extruded product are determined by minimizing the roral power consumption with repect to chosen parameters. To verify theoretical analysis, experiments have been carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature, using different web-thickness and number of vanes. The theoretical predictions both for forming load and vane-height are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results.
