터보팽창기를 이용한 폐압발전에서 전력생산량과 온도의 산출식의 열역학적 유도과정을 제시하였고, 전력생산량은 압력차가 아니라 압력비가 주요변수임을 밝혔다. 천연가스 폐압발전 인입부의 고압가스는 전기에너지(비용) 투입이 거의 없이 무상으로 얻어지는 에너지라는 사실을 보임으로써, 폐압이 지금까지는 별로 주목받지 못하였지만 새로운 청정에너지원 중의 하나임을 밝혔다. 공급가스 온도 보상을 위한 방법으로 팽창 후의 heating 방식을 택한다면, 전력생산과 더불어 냉열을 이용할 수 있고, 냉열이용량 만큼 heating 에너지를 줄일 수 있으므로 경제성을 배가시킬 수 있다.

This paper performed to predict vertical temperature distribution and air flow near cold heat source in the mass merchandising store. At the height of 150 cm, the vertical air temperature difference between the results of CFD and of measurement field showed $10\%$ near the refrigeration zone and $8.8\%$ near the freezing zone. Therefore, it regarded as appropriate for the using CFD to investigate airflow near the heat sources. The 3 kinds of CFD model were divided by the disposition of diffuser/exhaust and diffuser air temperature. At the refrigeration and freezing zone in the Model 2 and 3, the temperature difference between the front and the back of human model were showed $6.8^{\circ}C\;and\;3.9^{\circ}C$ with diffuser air temperature $17^{\circ}C$ and were showed $6.8^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$ with diffuser air temperature $19^{\circ}C$.

LNG는 극저온액체로 저장탱크의 열유입으로 인하여 지속적으로 BOG가 발생하고 있으며, 이의 효과적인 방법의 재액화가 요구되고 있다. 이 BOG의 재액화에는 공급되는 저압 펌프 후의 LNG의 냉열을 이용하는 데, 현재의 공정은 BOG 단위 발생량에 대하여 10배 이상의 LNG 흐름이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 NGL분리액화와 2차 고압펌프 후의 LNG 냉열을 이용하는 공정을 새롭게 고안하였으며, 이를 분석한 결과 LNG 소요유량이 3~4배에 불과한 매우 효과적인 재액화 시스템이 되었다. 본 고안에 의하면 하절기에도 원활한 BOG 재액화가 가능하므로, LNG기지의 안전성 향상과 공급 의 효율을 높일 수 있는 매우 효과적인 공정으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents thermodynamic performance analysis of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) using low temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy and using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as heat sink to recover the cryogenic energy of LNG. LNG is able to condense the working fluid at a very low condensing temperature in a heat exchanger, which leads to an increased power output. Based on the mathematical model, a parametric analysis is conducted to examine the effects of eight different working fluids, the turbine inlet pressure and the condensation temperature on the system performance. The results indicate that the thermodynamic performance of ORC such as net work production or thermal efficiency can be significantly improved by the LNG cold energy.

The ammonia-water based power generation cycle utilizing liquefied natural gas (LNG) as its heat sink has attracted much attention, since the ammonia-water cycle has many thermodynamic advantages in conversion of low-grade heat source in the form of sensible energy and LNG has a great cold energy. In this paper, we carry out thermodynamic performance analysis of a combined power generation cycle which is consisted of an ammonia-water regenerative Rankine cycle and LNG power generation cycle. LNG is able to condense the ammonia-water mixture at a very low condensing temperature in a heat exchanger, which leads to an increased power output. Based on the thermodynamic models, the effects of the key parameters such as source temperature, ammonia concentration and turbine inlet pressure on the characteristics of system are throughly investigated. The results show that the thermodynamic performance of the ammonia-water power generation cycle can be improved by the LNG cold energy and there exist an optimum ammonia concentration to reach the maximum system net work production.

In this study, computer simulation and optimization works have been performed for an open-loop Rankine cycle to generate power using five cases of liquefied natural gas compositions. PRO/II with PROVISION V9.4 from Schneider electric company was used, and the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of the state model was utilized for the design of the power generation cycle. It was concluded that more power was obtained from less molecular weight liquefied natural gas since there was more volumetric flow rate with less molecular weight.

본 논문에서는 유기랭킨사이클과 LNG 사이클로 구성된 복합사이클의 열역학적 성능 해석을 수행한다. 이 복합사이클에서는 현열 형태의 저등급 폐열을 사용하며 LNG 냉열은 열싱크 뿐 아니라 동력 생산에도 사용된다. 시스템의 성능에 대한 터빈입구압력, 응축온도, 열원온도 등 주 파라미터들의 영향을 상세하게 분석한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이 복합시스템은 LNG 냉에너지를 사용하지 않은 일반의 ORC에 비해 현저하게 성능이 개선될 수 있음을 보여준다.

This work describes analysis on the effect of inlet air cooling by the cold energy of liquefied natural gas(LNG) on the performance of gas turbines. Gas turbine off-design analysis program to simulate the influence of compressor inlet temperature variation is prepared and an inlet air cooler is modeled. It is shown that the degree of power augmentation is much affected by the humidity of inlet air. If the humidity is low enough, that is the water content of the air does not condense, the temperature drop amounts to $18^{\circ}C$, which corresponds to more than 12% power increase, in case of a $1350^{\circ}C$ class gas turbine with methane as the fuel. Even with 60% humidity, about 8% power increase is possible. It is found that even though the fuel contains as much as 20% ethane in addition to methane, the power improvement does not change considerably. It is observed that if the humidity is not too high, the current system is feasible oven with conceivable air pressure loss at the inlet air cooler.

Thermodynamic analysis of extraction process from the constant pressure LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) vessel was performed in this study. LNG was assumed as a binary mixture of 90% methane and 10% ethane by mole fraction. The thermodynamic properties such as temperature, composition, specific volume and the amount of cold energy were predicted during extraction process. Pressure as a parameter ranges from 101.3kPa to 2000kPa. The result shows the peculiar phenomena for the LNG as a mixture. Both vapor and liquid extraction processes were investigated by a computer model. The property changes are negligible in the liquid extraction process. For the vapor extraction process, the temperature in the vessel increases rapidly and the extracted composition of methane decreases rapidly near the end of extracting process. Specific volume of vapor has the maximum and that of liquid has the minimum during the process. When pressure is increased, specific volume of vapor decreases and that of liquid increases. It was found that specific volume of vapor phase had a major effect on the heat absorption at constant pressure during vapor extraction process. If the pressure of the vessel increases, the total cold energy which can be utilized from LNG decreased.

The Boil-Off-Gases(BOG) in the LNG production terminal are continuously generated during the unloading, storage and supply processes by the heat penetration. In order to use these gases as useful fuel, the reliquefaction process should be installed to put the reliquefied BOG in the main LNG supply line before the secondary pump in terminal. The current reliquefaction method of BOG in LNG terminal is the direct contact one between LNG and BOG in the absorption column. But the system has severe disadvantage, which is the 10 times of LNG circulation needed for unit mass of BOG reliquefaction. It causes, therefore, high power consumption of LNG circulation pump and excessive city-gas supply, even if short demand of NG is needed in the summer time. In this paper, the new reliquefaction system of BOG by using LNG cold energy with indirect contact in precooler was suggested and analysed. The result showed new indirect contact method of BOG reliquefaction system between LNG cold energy and BOG is much more effective than the current direct contact one because of only about 1.3 times of LNG circulation needed and higher energy saving by pump power reduction.
