An organic Rankine cycle for ocean thermal energy conversion system is a generating cycle using the temperature difference between surface water and deep water of the ocean. The working fluid is an important factor in the thermodynamic performance of an organic Rankine cycle. There is pinch point analysis as thermodynamic analysis of an organic Rankine cycle. This study performed a thermodynamic performance analysis according to variation in the pinch point temperature difference in heat exchangers and variation of outlet temperature of heat source and heat sink. It analyzed the thermodynamic performance by applying seven types of simple working fluids in a simple Rankine cycle for ocean thermal energy conversion that was designed according to pinch point analysis. As a result of the performance analysis, cycle irreversibility and total exergy destruction factor more decreased, and second law efficiency more increased in the lower pinch point temperature difference and temperature variation of heat source and heat sink in heat exchangers. In addition, the irreversibility changed greatly at a point that occurred in the thermodynamic variation. Among the selected working fluids, RE245fa2 showed the best thermodynamic performance, and the performance of all working fluids was observed to be similar. It needs a strict theoretical basis about diverse factors with thermodynamic performances in selecting heat exchangers and working fluids.

열역학 제 2법칙의 관점의 열역학적 가용에너지인 엑서지 해석법을 적용하여 가솔린, 메탄올, M90 연료를 사용한 전기점화 기관의 성능해석을 수행하였다. 열역학적 사이클 해석을 위하여 사이클을 구성하는 각 과정은 열역학적 모델로 단순화하였고, 크랭크 각도에 따른 실린더의 압력과 작동유체를 구성하는 연료, 공기 및 연소생성물의 열역학적 물성 값들을 이용하여 각 과정에서의 엑서지와 손실 일을 계산하였다. 실험데이터는 단기통 전기점화기관을 가솔린, 메탄올과 M90(메탄을 90%+부탄 10%의 혼합연료)을 연료로 WOT(Wide Open Throttle), MBT(Minimum advanced spark timing for Best Torque), 2500rpm 조건으로 운전하여 측정하였다. 계산에 이용한 자료는 실험으로 측정한 크랭크 각도에 따른 연소실의 압력, 흡입공기와 연료유량, 흡입공기 온도, 냉각수 온도와 배출가스 온도 등이다. 이를 이용하여 각 과정에서의 엑서지와 손실 일을 계산하였으며 각 과정에서의 손실 일은 연소과정에서 가장 크며 팽창과정, 배출과정, 압축과정 및 흡입과정 순으로 크게 나타났다.

복합발전사이클은 서로 다른 온도조건에서 운전되는 두 개의 사이클을 열역학적으로 결합한 발전사이클로서 Fig. 1-(d) 처럼 고온부 사이클에서 배출되는 열량을 저온부 사이클에서 회수하여 전체 시스템효율을 개선하도록 설계되었다$^{1)}$ . 고온부에서 작동하는 사이클을 상부사이클(topping cycle or topper)이라고하며 저온부에서 작동하는 사이클을 하부사이클(bottoming cycle or bottomer)이라고 한다.

In this work a thermodynamic performance analysis is carried out for a combined cycle consisted of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and a LNG cycle. The combined system uses a low grade waste heat in the form of sensible energy and the LNG cold energy is used for power generation as well as for heat sink. The effects of the key parameters of th system such as turbine inlet pressure, condensation temperature and source temperature on the characteristics of system are throughly investigated. The simulation results show that the thermodynamic performance of the combined system can be significantly improved compared to the normal ORC which is not using the LNG cold energy.

The thermodynamic characteristics of a trilateral cycle with water as a working fluid have been theoretically investigated for an electric generation system to recover the waste heat of the exhaust gas from a diesel engine used for the propulsion of a large ship. As a result, when a heat source was given, the efficiencies of energy and exergy were maximized by the specific conditions of the pressure and mass flow rate for the working fluid at the turbine(expander) inlet. In this case, as the condensation temperature increased, the volume expansion ratio of the turbine could be reduced properly; however, the exergy loss of the heat source and exergy destruction of the condenser increased. Therefore, in order to recover the waste exergy from the topping cycle, the combined cycle with a bottoming cycle such as an organic Rankine cycle, which is utilized at relatively low temperatures, was found to be useful.

환경문제에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라, 냉동공조 산업에서 다양하게 이용되는 냉매에 대하여도 많운 시각이 집중되고 있다. 특히, 몬트리얼 의정서와 교토의정서에 의한 지구온난화 물질에 대한 규제로 CFCs와 HCFCs 냉매를 사용하지 못하게 펌에 따라 냉동공조업계에서는 열역학적 물성치가 우수하고 환경친화적인 대체냉매의 개발에 관한 연구를 활발히 진행하고 있다. 이러한 문제의 근본적인 해결책은 자연상태로 존재하는 자연냉매를 이용하는 것이디. 이산화탄소, 암모니아, 탄화수소계열, 물, 공기 등이 대표적으로 거론되고 있는 자연냉매이다. 이 중에서 도 이산화탄소는 인체에 무해하며, 독성이 없고, 화 학적으로 안정하며,기존의 냉동기 재료를 그대로 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 열역학적 성질 및 전달물성이 우수하고, 냉통기에 적용할 때 성능이 개선될 가능성이 많다는 점도 매우 고무적이다. 본 고에서는 최근 가장 주목을 받고 있는 이산화탄소를 이용한 냉동사이클의 특성과 성능향상 방안에 대하여 기존 연구결과를 정리하여 설명하고자 한다.

Recently organic flash cycle (OFC) has been proposed which is a vapor power cycle where heat addition occurs with the working fluid remaining in the liquid state. This study proposes a modified OFC with regeneration and carries out thermodynamic performance analysis of the system utilizing low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy. Effects of working fluid and flash temperature are systemically investigated on the system performance such as net power production and thermal efficiency. Results show that the net power production has a peak value with respect to the flash temperature but the thermal efficiency increases with the flash temperature. The regenerative system shows higher thermal efficiency compared to the original OFC and improved potential for recovery of low-temperature heat sources.

A general concept on the definition of the second law efficiencies of thermodynamic cycles is introduced. The efficiency is defined to be proportional to the entropy generation divided by the maximum possible entropy generation. This way of definition of the cycle efficiency is clear and concise and, moreover, follows faithfully the concept of the second law of thermodynamics. This definition is applied to heat engine, refrigerator and heat pump. The second law efficiencies of heat engine and refrigeration cycles are derived, which are the same as the existing ones, respectively. The second law efficiency of heat pump, however, finds to be different from the existing one. Discussion is given about the difference and its cause.
