In this paper, analysis on the performance characteristics of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree, compressor efficiency, and condensing and evaporating temperature in R404A high- and R744 low-temperature cycle, respectively. The main results were summarized as follows : It was observed that the highest COP of the system is achieved by higher superheating degree in R744 cycle than that in R404A cycle. The COP of the system increased by giving the subcooling degree in both cycles. The COP of the cascade system is the highest value when the system is operated at an optimum evaporation temperature.

In this Study, efficiencies of the scroll expander under development for organic Rankine cycle using engine waste heat of vehicle have been analyzed and compared with the commercial scroll expander. While operating organic Rankine cycle for analysing expander efficiencies, power of expander, inlet temperature of expander, inlet pressure of expander and the flow rate of the working fluid(refrigerant R134a) have been measured. Overall efficiency of the expander has been shown the very low level compared with the overall efficiency of the commercial expander. Especially, because the low volumetric efficiency has much effect on overall efficiency, the working fluid leakage trouble of expander has to be solved surely for improvement of the expander overall efficiency.

이 논문은 재귀원형군 G(2^m , 2^k )를 그래프 이론적 관점에서 고찰하고 정점이 서로소인 사이클과 그래프 invariant에 관한 위상 특성을 제시한다. 재귀원형군은 1 에서 제안된 다중 컴퓨터의 연결망 구조이다. 재귀원형군 {{{{G(2^m , 2^k )가 길이 사이클을 가질 필요 충분 조건을 구하고, 이 조건하에서 G(2^m , 2^k )는 가능한 최대 개수의 정점이 서로소이고 길이가l`인 사이클을 가짐을 보인다. 그리고 정점 및 에지 채색, 최대 클릭, 독립 집합 및 정점 커버에 대한 그래프 invariant를 분석한다.Abstract In this paper, we investigate recursive circulant G(2^m , 2^k ) from the graph theory point of view and present topological properties of G(2^m , 2^k ) concerned with vertex-disjoint cycles and graph invariants. Recursive circulant is an interconnection structure for multicomputer networks proposed in 1 . A necessary and sufficient condition for recursive circulant {{{{G(2^m , 2^k ) to have a cycle of lengthl` is derived. Under the condition, we show that G(2^m , 2^k ) has the maximum possible number of vertex-disjoint cycles of length l`. We analyze graph invariants on vertex and edge coloring, maximum clique, independent set and vertex cover.

Pseudo-Brayton cycle is defined as an ideal Brayton cycle admitting the difference between heat capacities of working fluid during heating and cooling processes. The endo-pseudo-Brayton cycle which is a pseudo-Brayton cycle with heat transfer processes is analyzed with the consideration of maximum power conditions and the results were compared with those of the endo-Carnot cycle and endo-Brayton cycle. As results, the maximum power is an extremum with respect to the cycle temperature and the flow heat capacities of heating and cooling processes. At the maximum power condition, the heat capacity of the cold side is smaller than that of heat sink flow. And the heat capacity of endo-Brayton cycle is always between those of heat source and sink flows and those of the working fluids of pseudo-Brayton cycle. There is another optimization problem to decide the distribution of heat transfer capacity to the hot and cold side heat exchangers. The ratios of the capacies of the endo-Brayton and the endo-pseudo-Braton cycles at the maximum power condition are just unity. With the same heat source and sink flows and with the same total heat transfer caqpacities, the maximum power output of the Carnot cycle is the least as expected, but the differences among them were small if the heat transfer capacity is not so large. The thermal efficiencies of the endo-Brayton and endo-Carnot cycle were proved to be 1-.root.(T$_{7}$/T$_{1}$) but it is not applicable to the pseudo-Brayton case, instead it depends on comparative sizes of heat capacities of the heat source and sink flow.w.

Recently, the technologies to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have attracted significant attention. In this paper, thermodynamic performance analysis of combined cycles consisting of ammonia Rankine cycle (AWR) and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with LNG Rankine cycle to recover low-grade heat source and the cold energy of LNG. The mathematical models are developed and the effects of the important system parameters such as turbine inlet pressure, ammonia mass fraction, working fluid on the system performance are systematically investigated. The results show that the thermal efficiency of AWR-LNG cycle is higher but the total power production of ORC-LNG cycle is higher.

1980년대 이후로 등장한 Nd-Fe-B 소결자석은 뛰어난 자성특성을 나타내며, 원재료도 풍부하기 때문에 단위 자기 에너지당 가격은 비교적 저가이다. 따라서 대부분의 기존 Sm-Co와 주조 Al-Ni-Co 자석재료를 대체하며 다양한 첨단사업의 핵심소재로 적용되며, 자동차 및 의료기기 등 산업 전반에 사용되고 있다. 이러한 응용 중에서도 향후 녹색성장을 위한 신성장동력 산업인 하이브리드 자동차의 구동 모터로서 사용되는 대표적인 영구자석이다. 현재 개발된 Nd계 영구자석은 큐리온도가 낮고 높은 온도에서 자기적 성능의 열화가 심하게 진행된다는 단점이 있기 새로운 합금 설계 및 공정의 최적화를 통해 보자력을 향상 시킴으로써 사용온도를 $200^{\circ}C$ 정도로 높이는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 제조공정을 통해 제조된 소결체의 미세구조에 변화시키기 위하여 약 $10^{-5}$ Torr의 진공분위기에서 $10^{\circ}C/min$의 승온/냉각속도로 $350^{\circ}C$부터 $450^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 2 사이클부터 8 사이클까지 승온과 냉각을 반복하는 열처리를 수행하였다. Nd-Fe-B 소결자석을 $350^{\circ}C{\sim}450^{\circ}C$ 온도구간에서 반복적인 열처리를 수행한 결과 열처리 사이클에 따라 보자력 특성이 다르게 나타내었다. 이에 승온과 냉각을 반복하며 나타난 미세구조의 변화가 자성특성에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지에 대해 고찰하였다.

The effects of heat-treatment on discharge characteristics of $TiFe_{1-x}Ni_x$ alloy were investigated. The content of Ni in alloy was varied from x = 0.1 to 0.6 by each 0.1 increment. Discharge capacity change of each alloy with C/D cycles was measured. With increasing Ni-content initial discharge capacity was increased. but at x = 0.6 it was deceased again. With increasing C/D cycles discharge capacity was rapidly decreased in the alloy of high Ni-content. In order to investigate the effects of heat-treatment on cycle life, $TiFe_{0.5}Ni_{0.5}$ alloy having maximum initial discharge capacity was heat-treated at various temperatures in the range of $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ and tested. The loss of initial discharge capacity was appeared at all temperatures. but cycle characteristics of the alloy was improved. The electrodes heat-treated for 1 hour in the range of $700{\sim}850^{\circ}C$ showed good recovery of discharge capacities through repeated cycles, and from SEM observation results these were considered as 1 hour in the range of $700{\sim}850^{\circ}C$ showed good recovery of discharge capacities through repeated cycles, and from SEM observation results these were considered asbeing due to increased electrode strength and small loss of porosity during heat-treatment. The electrode heat-treated for 1 hour at $900^{\circ}C$ showed poor discharge characteristics because of low porosity.

In this study, the start-up characteristics of a staged combustion engine were analyzed numerically based on relational equation modeling of the entire engine components. The start-up characteristics were extensively analyzed considering the transient period of the total engine system from the start-up sequence till the steady-state of the engine. The performance characteristics of the engine components such as RPM of engine power-pack, chamber pressure and O/F ratio of pre-burner, and mass flow of propellants in the start-up period were investigated. Furthermore, the calculated engine data were compared satisfactorily with the experimental data. Through the comparison of data, successful validation of present engine start-up analysis has been obtained.

The lead-acid batteries are the most often used in human life, because of their low cost, good reversibility and high potential but they have limit cycle ability with low capacitance. The main causes of this problem are forming recrystallization of $PbSO_4$ on electrodes surface during cycles which the recrystallization of $PbSO_4$ is known as sulfation. In this study, formation process of sulfation was investigated depending on charge and discharge cycle numbers. And we decomposed sulfation to renew cycle ability of lead-acid batteries. The renewed lead-acid batteries recovered to 84% compared to first capacity after 600 cycles.
