In operating the underwater engines such as encountered in exploring submarines, the dumping of the exhaust gas out of the engine requires a large portion of the total power, frequently amounting to 25-30% of the power generated. This unfavorable circumstance can be cured by liquefying the exhaust gas and storing it. In the present study, two liquefaction systems were simulated to enhance the overall efficiency; one is a closed cycle diesel engine and the other is a closed cycle LNG engine. The liquefied natural gas (LNG) is chosen as a fuel, not only because its use is economical but also because its cold energy can be utilized within the liquefaction system. Since a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide is used as an oxidizer, liquefying carbon dioxide is of major concern in this study. For further improving this system, the intercooling of the compressor is devised. The necessary power consumed for the liquefying system is examined in terms of the related properties such as pressure and temperature of the carbon dioxide vessel as a function of the amount of the exhaust gas which enters the compressor. The present study was successful to show that much gain in the power and reduction of the vessel pressure could be achieved in the case of the closed cycle LNG engine. The compression power of exhaust gas were observed remarkably lower, typically only 6.3% for the closed cycle diesel engine and 3.4% for the closed cycle LNG engine respectively, out of net engine power. For practicality, a design -purpose map of the operating parameters of the liquefaction systems was also presented.

The objective of this paper is to develop a new energy transport system for district cooling application by using type 2 absorption cycle. Cold energy from the LNG storage system is utilized as the cooling source of the condenser and the rectifier. The pressures of the system, UAs of the evaporator and the desorber, and the inlet temperatures of the refrigerant to each component are considered as the key parameters. The results show that UA of the evaporator is more dominant parameter on COP than that of the desorber and the optimum system pressure for the demand side is estimated as 525 kPa. For the present system, it is recommended that the refrigerant inlet temperature of the evaporator be lower than $4.3^{\circ}C$ for long-distance transportation. It is concluded that the cold energy from the LNG storage system can be effectively applied to the long-distance transportation system for district cooling application with the type 2 absorption cycle. The optimum operation conditions are also predicted from the parametric analysis.

Power generation cycle using ammonia-water mixture as working fluid has attracted much attention because of its ability to efficiently convert low-temperature heat source into useful work. If an ammonia-water power cycle is combined with a power cycle using liquefied natural gas (LNG), the conversion efficiency could be further improved owing to the cold energy of LNG at $-162^{\circ}C$. In this work parametric study is carried out on the thermodynamic performance of a power cycle consisted of an ammonia-water Rankine cycle as an upper cycle and a LNG cycle as a bottom cycle. As a driving energy the combined cycle utilizes a low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible heat. The effects on the system performance of the system parameters such as ammonia concentration ($x_b$), turbine 1 inlet pressure ($P_{H_1}$) and temperature ($T_{H_1}$), and condenser outlet temperature ($T_{L_1}$) are extensively investigated. Calculation results show that thermal efficiency increases with the increase of $P_{H_1}$, $T_{H_1}$ and the decrease of $T_{L_1}$, while its dependence on $x_b$ has a downward convex shape. The changes of net work generation with respect to $P_{H_1}$, $T_{H_1}$, $T_{L_1}$, and $x_b$ are roughly linear.

선진국의 경우 송전용 애자의 내구성 향상을 위한 새로운 평가 기법을 적용하여 신뢰성을 향상시키는 등 연구가 활발하지만 국산 송전용 애자에 대한 열화요인 진단 및 대체기술은 거의 초기 연구 단계에 불과하다. 따라서, 국내 송전 선로 환경에 따른 송전용 애자의 구성 요소별 장기 열화요인 분석 기술의 부족을 극복할 필요가 있다. 모든 형태의 절연물은 사용 환경에 따라 열화에 따른 품질 저하는 피할 수 없다. 이에따라 초기 설계에서 최종적인 품질 확인 시험까지 적절한 불량 요인을 진단하여 개선 할 수 있는 제조공정과 경년품에 대한 정기적인 열화 시험 평가 등을 통해 송전용 자기애자의 신뢰성을 유지하는 것이 필요하다. 송전용 현수 애자의 수명과 신뢰성을 결정하는 요인은 복합적이며, 적정한 시료수와 통계적 접근 방법을 동원하여 분석하는 것이 최선이다 자기 애자의 수명에 영향을 주는 핵심 인자는 시멘트 및 자기부의 강도 저하로 알려져 있다. 기본적인 단품 성능시험을 실시한 결과, 냉열 및 급준파 특성에 대한 내구성이 문제점으로 도출되었다. 물론 특정 경년품(1989년도 제품)에서 집중적으로 불량이 발생한 것이지만, 이것은 일반적으로 문제가 있는 자기 애자에서 발생하는 전형적인 형태이다. 현재 가장 문제가 되는 것은 급준파 및 내아크 시험과 같이 열적, 기계적 충격에 대한 내구성을 확인하는 열화 평가방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 경년품 및 신품에 대한 냉열 가속, 경년 가속 열화시험 및 급준파 열화시험과 현수 애자의 핵심 소재인 자기의 HRB 경도 특성 시험하였다.

When liquefied natural gas (LNG) is vaporized to form natural gas for industrial and household consumption, a tremendous amount of cold energy is transferred from LNG to seawater as a part of the phase-change process. This heat exchange loop is not only a waste of cold energy, but causes thermal pollution to coastal fishery areas by dumping the cold energy into the sea. This project describes an innovative new design for reclaiming cold energy for use by cold storage warehouses (operating in the 35 to $62^{\circ}C$ range). Conventionally, warehouse cooling is done by mechanical refrigeration systems that consume large amounts of electricity for the maintenance of low temperatures. Here, a closed loop LNG heat exchange system was designed (by simulator) to replace mechanical or vapor-compression refrigeration systems. The software PRO II with PROVISION V9.4 was used to simulate LNG cold energy, gas re-liquefaction, and the vaporized process under various conditions. The effects on sensible and latent heats from changes to the array type of heat exchangers have been investigated, as well as an examination of the optimum.

A theoretical and experimental study has been performed to investigate the characteristics of ice-slurry product. By diffusion-controlled model, the possibility of ice slurry has been theoretically anticipated. The water vapor evaporated from the surface of droplets is extracted continuously from the chamber by a vacuum pump. The droplet diameter was measured by silion immersed method. The ice slurry has been obtained by spraying droplets of ethylene-glycol aqueous solution in the chamber where pressure is maintained under the triple point of water. The droplet of which the diameter is $300{\mu}m$, and the initial temperature is $20^{\circ}C$, was changed into ice particle within the chamber of which the height is 1.33m.

The operational characteristics of a metal hydride heat pump system are strongly dependent on the amound of hydrogen gas transferred by hydriding and dehydriding reactions between the reactors under dynamic conditions. A new metal hydride heat pump combined with hydrogen compressor was constructed and the dependency of its operating conditions on such as cycle time, amount of hydrogen to be transferred between two reacting metal hydride reactors, operating temperature, and heat transmission characteristics of the reactors was investigated to find the optimum operating efficiency. These conditions were also evaluated in connection with the cooling output and hydrogen compressor connected to the system in order to enhance the total efficiency.

Swing check valve is opened when the flow direction is forward, when the flow is reversed, the valve is automatically closed by back pressure. In this study, the internal flow field analysis of the valve was conducted by Fluent. The working fluid used in the study, using liquefied methane $-165^{\circ}C$ (CH4) and velocity field, pressure field, pressure drop coefficient were simulated by varying separately the opening divergence into four intervals from 0 to 100%. The approximate research result are as follow : When the opening divergence is smaller, it appears high pressure on the upstream side, this value is relaxed when the opening divergence is large. Flow rate coefficient of the valve shows a larger value as the degree of opening becomes larger, confirming that the check valve used in the study is in the effective flow rate counting range.

최근 경제성장과 생활수준의 향상으로 냉방기기의 설치가 보편화되면서 하절기 냉방부하 증가에 따른 전력 에너지 공급상의 위기를 맞고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 한국전력공사에서는 심야 전력 공급 시간에 냉동기를 가동하여, 얼음의 형태로 냉열을 저장하였다가 주간 냉방에 활용하는 빙축열 냉방 시스템을 보급 하여 주간전력 사용을 우회시키는 방법으로 전력수급의 안정화에 기여하고 예비율을 높이려는 노력을 하고 있다. 이러한 빙축열 냉방 시스템을 좀더 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 빙축열 냉방 시스템에 대한 연구가 필요하며 특히 빙축열 부하예측 기술과 시스템 최적제어 기술의 개발은 최대순간 요구부하의 개선은 물론 시스템의 성능향상과 에너지 소비감소에도 효과적으로 쓰일 수 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 야간에 빙축조에 저장시킨 축열만으로 주간의 냉방부하를 감당하게 하는 전부하 축열 방식을 선택하여 시스템 각 구성요소의 동적현상을 고려한 효과적인 수학적 모텔을 제시하고 이를 사용하여 빙축열 냉방시스탱의 최적제어 알고리즘을 개발하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 효율성을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다.
