This study investigated heat transfer phenomena during the freezing of an initially superheated or non-superheated liquid in a cooled cylinder tube. Numerical and experimental method were performed to obtatin the temperature and velocity distribution, the shape of interface. Natural convection effects in the superheated liquid were confined and moderated a short freezing time. After natural convection ceases, heat conduction dominated in the whole paraffin, so Crystal and much-zone were found out in PCM. Initial superheating of liquid tended to morderatly diminish the frozen layer thickness at short freezing times but little effect on the these quantities at longer times. On the amount of frozen mass, Iintial liquid superheating is less affected than tube wall subcooling.

In binary solidification compositional convection in a porous mushy layer influences the quality of the final products. We consider the mushy layer solidifying from below with a constant solidification velocity. The disturbance equations for the mushy layer are derived using linear stability theory. The basic-state temperature fields and the distribution of the porosity in the mushy layer are investigated numerically. When the superheat is large, the thickness of the mushy layer is relatively small compared to the thickness of the thermal boundary layer. With decreasing the superheat the critical Rayleigh number based on the thickness of the mushy layer increases and the mushy layer becomes stable to the compositional convection. The critical Rayleigh number obtained from the continuity conditions of temperature and heat flux at the mush-liquid interface is smaller than that from the isothermal condition at the upper boundary of the mushy layer.

In the power system, the transformer's neutral earth reactor line 1 grounding failure may occur. By limiting the magnitude of the failure grounding current flow, it will aid to reduce the failure of the transformer. Consequently, this also may avoid the failure of the disconnection of the industrial insulator line that cause by melting. Besides, utilizing the decreasing circuit breaker or others related equipment can use to avoid the possibility of explosion of the transformer. If the failure happen during the operation of the power system, a huge interference will definitely may occur. Therefore, by installing the DONGBUSAN S/S #3M.Tr neutral earth reactor among TOP and BOTTOM BRACE part in the power system, the causes of the rising temperature and reason of the over-current flow that cause by over-current can be analyze.

The steam power plant is becoming more important to supply a stable power lately. Desuperheater of the steam power plant facility plays a role in maintaining the proper superheat to avoid damage turbine power due to the superheated steam produced in the boiler. In this study, when the steam flows $530^{\circ}C$, 36.7 kg/s, 1.36 MPa in the 460mm pipe, variable orifice nozzle developed in Korea was carried out the performance analysis in coolant injection conditions of $150^{\circ}C$, 4.28 MPa. Findings, steam pipe coolant temperature was maintained at $446^{\circ}C$ and sprayed droplet size was verified by $50{\mu}m$ or less.

Three dimensional numerical analysis were performed to investigate the combustion characteristics in a tangentially fired pulverized coal boiler. The predicted values at the outlet of economizer for the gas temperature, O$_2$, NO, CO were been compared with the measured data. By using the actual operating conditions of the power plant, the distribution of velocity, gas temperature, O$_2$, CO, CO$_2$ and NO as well as the particle tracking in the boiler were investigated. Throughout the present study, the non-uniform distribution of flue gas temperature in front of the final superheater might be resulted from the residual swirl flow in the upper furnace of the boiler. The present analysis on non-uniform distribution of the gas temperature could provide the useful information to prevent the frequent tube failure from happening in the final superheater of the tangentially coal-fired boiler.

In this paper, cycle performance analysis of cascade refrigeration system using alternative FREON refrigerants and natural refrigerants are presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooled and superheated degree, and condensing and evaporating temperature, temperature difference of cascade heat exchanger in cascade refrigeration system. The COP of cascade refrigeration system increases with the increasing subcooled degree, but there is no significant changes with the increasing superheated degree. The COP of cascade refrigeration system depends on evaporating and condensing temperatures of cascade heat exchanger. Therefore, subcooled degree, evaporating and condensing temperature of cascade heat exchanger using alternative FREON refrigerants and natural refrigerants have an effect on the COP of this system. In this paper, COP of cascade refrigeration system using (R23 / R290), (R23 / R600), (R23 / R600a), (R23 / R717), (R744 / R404A) are higher 20 ~ 36 % than (R23 / R22), using R23 for low temperature system and R22 for high temperature system.

Temperature rise characteristics of medium voltage class transformers and dielectric characteristics of its insulation oil according to the loading rate were investigated using the transformer that has thermocouples embedded in the windings. The hottest-spot of the transformer locates at about 2/3 height of the windings where they adjoin each other among the 3 phase windings. The temperature difference between the hottest-spot and top-oil is about $17[^{\circ}C]$ and the value keeps uniformly in short time after changing the loading rate. Capacitance of the oil varies in inverse proportion to temperature and the inclination rate is about -0.0106 that is not dependent on the aging rate. On the other hand the capacitance is increased depending on the aging rate, so the capacitance characteristics of the oil could be applied to the diagnostic technique.

In this paper, alternative natural refrigerant R290(Propane), R600(Butane), R717(Ammonia), R1270(Propylene) for freon refrigerant R22 were used working fluids for 2-stage compression and 1-stage expansion refrigeration system. The operating parameters considered in this study included evaporation temperature, condensation temperature, subcooling degree, superheating degree, mass flow rate ratio of inter-cooler. The main results were summarized as follows : The COP of 2-stage compression and 1-stage expansion refrigeration system increases with the increasing subcooling degree and mass flow rate ration of inter-cooler, but decreases with the increasing evaporating temperature, condensing temperature and superheating degree. Therefore, subcooling degree, mass flow rate ratio of inter-cooler of 2-stage compression and 1-stage expansion refrigeration system using natural refrigerants have an effect on COP of this system. The COP of natural refrigerants was higher than the COP of freon R22 in this study, so points to be considered are the security, the attached facilities for natural refrigerants than COP.

The automatic hot gas by-pass technique is applied to control the capacity of refrigeration and air-conditioning system when operating at part load. In the scheme, the hot gas from the compressor is extracted and injected into the outlet of an evaporator through a hot gas by-pass valve. Thus, In this paper, the hot gas by-pass scheme for CO2 is discussed and analyzed on the basis of mass and energy conservation law. A comparative study of the schemes is performed in terms of the coefficiency of performance (COP) and cooling capacity. The operating parameters considered in this study include compressor efficiency, superheating degree, outlet temperature of gas cooler and evaporating temperature in the R744 vapor compression cycle. The main results were summarized as follows : the superheating degree, outlet temperature and evaporating temperature of R744 vapor compression refrigeration system have an effect on the cooling capacity and COP of this system. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the compression refrigeration cycle using R744.
