This is to develop a micro water turbine which makes some power from just a fluid velocity in the water pipe. While power is produced from impulsive force which generated by a high head in the case of existing water turbine, this is to produce a power from rotating force of helical turbine which rotated by fluid velocity in the water pipe. Some results of analysis fluid pattern at turbine blade for design shows that bubble is generated from turbulence surrounding blade and pulsatory motion generated as fluid being blocked and opened by blade due to turbine structure. This two phenomena cause to lower power production efficiency and shorten turbine durability. So this is studied to minimize bubble generation and pulsation for optimizing design of turbine blade. Therefore it is determined that the number of blade is three, geometric form of blade is NACA 4420 and angle of blade is 30 degree. An experiment equipment of water turbine is manufactured on the base of these factors(NACA 4420, angle 30。). It is obtained that power production of turbine increases in proportion to velocity which is changed from 1.7 m/sec to 3.5 m/sec. When fluid velocity is 1.7m/sec the power production of turbine is 355W. Power production increase continuously as increasing the fluid velocity and power is 2kW on 3m/sec of fluid velocity.
The performance of helical hydro turbine in water pipe line depends on the sectional shape of turbine blade, pitch angle of turbine blade, solidity and number of turbine blades, To investigate the effects of these design factors on the performance of helical hydro turbine, flow analysis was carried out by using commercial code ANSYS CFX version 14..5. From CFD analysis we obtained the optimum design factors which were the asymmetric blade shape of NACA4420, the pitch angle of 15 degrees and the solidity of 0.3. These results can be used for the actual design of sphere-shaped helical turbine in water pipe line.
OO상수도 매설관로 주요 불탐구간의 매설환경 조건은 고압송유관, 광케이블, 전력선, 도시가스관 등 주변지장물의 전자기장 간섭이나 도로 성토에 따른 토피고 증가 및 주변 굴착공사에 따른 접근 불가 등의 상태이므로, 관로 유지관리를 위하여 직접적인 조사 등을 실시할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
