Recently, research on high-efficiency refrigeration cycles that apply an ejector to basic cycles has progressed actively. The role of the ejector and the performance of refrigeration cycles are subordinate to ejector locations. In this study, the performance of three refrigeration cycles with different ejector locations is compared and analyzed. The results showed an increased COP in all cycles due to the application of the ejector, with the highest increase of 44% compared to a basic refrigeration cycle. The ejector refrigeration cycle proposed in this study presents the highest COP, 3.47. Moreover, the decrease in condensation capacity in Bergander's cycle, Xing's cycle, and our proposed ejector refrigeration cycle went up to 21%. In refrigeration cycles applying the ejector, the pressure ratio of the ejector, the vapor fraction of discharge, and compression ratio are important factors for COP enhancement. For this reason, detailed and accurate control of these is significant.

This study describes to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of waste solvent recovery system using a double pipe heat exchanger heating solvent by the hot oil. The solvent recovery system consists of the feeding pump, the double pipe heat exchanger, the vacuum spray chamber, and the condenser. A double pipe heat exchanger consists of the first section to conduct the heating of solvent to the thermal saturated point and the second section to evaporate the saturated solvent. The heat transfer area for vaporization of water, benzene and alkylbenzene was predicted by the heat balance modelling and experimentally measured from the temperature distribution as a function of solvent flow rate and heating temperature. The required heat transfer area for vaporization was increased with increasing solvent flow rates and with decreasing heating temperatures due to decreased quantity of transferred heat per the unit area. Theoretical modelling of the heat transfer area for solvents vaporization in the pipe showed good agreement with experimental results. Results showed to be suitable for the waste solvent recovery using a double pipe heat exchanger.

This paper describes preliminary research conducted for developing a high-efficiency clean large cauldron using the liquid-vapor phase change heat transfer. To improve the isothermal environment of the cauldron, naphthalene and FC-40 were selected as the working fluids to operate well in the temperature range of $100-200^{\circ}C$ and used in experimental investigations of the heat transfer characteristics. A two-phase closed thermosyphon was designed and built to demonstrate the functionality of the working fluids. Startup, boiling, and condensation tests were performed, and the test results were used to examine the possibility of complementary effects of the startup and heat transfer characteristics of the two-phase closed thermosyphon using a mixture of naphthalene and FC-40.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a gradual decline in memory associated with shrinkage of brain tissue, with a localized loss of neurons mainly in the hippocampus and basal forebrain. This study investigated the neuroprotective effect of Gastrodia elata aqueous extracts against scopolamine-induced neurotoxicity in the hippocampus of male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals (n=25) were divided into five different groups with five animals per each group. The normal group (Nor) was administered with saline, while the control (Con) group was administered saline after scopolamine treatment. The experimental group (Exp) was administered Gastrodia elata aqueous extracts (200 mg/kg body weight) for 20 or 30 days after scopolamine treatment. From a light microscopy study, the nuclei of neurons in the hippocampus were more shrunken or condensed in the 20 or 30 day control groups compared to experimental groups. The densities of neurons from the CA1 and CA3 area of the hippocampus in the Exp increased compared with the Con. Amyloid ${\beta}$ protein, containing PAS-positive materials, was lower in the Exp compared with the Con. The present study demonstrates that Gastrodia elata aqueous extracts possess neuroprotective potential, thus validating its use in alleviating the toxic effects of scopolamine.

Among the flare systems that handle discharged substances from safety valves, the knockout drum was a key facility for safety, but the installation standards were not clear, so it was necessary to review the standards acceptable to the workplace and regulatory agencies. After investigating the domestic and foreign technical standards of knockout drums and the deficiencies of previous studies, research was first conducted on the degree of mass discharge, the installation location of the intermediate knockout drum, and the effect of changes in the composition of the discharged material. As a result of the study under the process simulation conditions, the gas-liquid separation of the knockout drum was completed in a small amount of less than 7,500kg/hr. However, when more than that was released, the gas-liquid separation effect was small even with the addition of an intermediate knockout drum. In addition, when the composition ratio of the material easily condensed was increased (molar fraction 10%), the gas-liquid separation effect of the knockout drum increased in the case of mass release. The gas-liquid separation effect was analyzed to be greater when the knockout drum was installed adjacent to the stack than the knockout drum was installed adjacent to the process equipment.

바이오매스 에너지라 함은 생물체를 구성하는 유기물을 이용하는 에너지이다. 바이오매스는 에너지 위기 및 $CO_2$에 의한 지구온난화 및 화석자원의 고갈이 진행되면서, 화석연료와 달리 재생이 가능하고 지속 가능한 자원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 그 중에서도 목질계 바이오매스는 다른 신재생에너지원에 비해 국내 잠재량이 가장 풍부한 에너지원 중의 하나이다. 바이오매스 에너지 기술로는 직접연소, 열화학적 변환, 생화학적 변환의 기술이 있다. 본 연구에서는 목재를 원료로 한 부분산화 조건의 숯 생산 공정에서 목재의 열분해 가스 생산특성을 고찰하였다. 열분해가스 중에 응축된 목초액의 pH는 3.58～3.92 정도로 분석 되었고, 산도는 시간이 경과 할수록 2.74에서 4.44%로 농도가 증가 되었다. 숯 생산 공정에서의 목재의 열분해는 초기부터 48시간까지는 열분해가스의 조성의 변화가 거의 없었고, 48시간 경과 후에는 열분해가스 중에 가연성가스인 $H_2$, CO, $CH_4$가 약 5%정도 배출되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The coating of metal surface with carbon nanotubes(CNTs) has been studied for the heat transfer enhancement of the boiling and condensation of refrigerant. The multiwalled carbon nanotube/copper oxide(CuO) composite powder, which has been surface modified by dispersant and polyvinyl alcohol solution, was ultrasonically sprayed and sintered on a copper wafer. In this paper, experiments were performed to assess the characterization and comparison of the carbon nanotube before and after sinterning and the morphology changes of the CNT/CuO-coated surface by using different dispersants. The dispersants used are THF (Tetrahydrofuran), SDBS(Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt), SDS(Sodium dodecy sulfate). The samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and Raman spectroscopy.

The fault diagnosis technologies may be applied in order to decrease the energy consumption and the maintenance cost of an air-conditioning system. In this paper, a fault diagnosis algorithm was developed by using a neural no-fault model and a dual fuzzy logic. Five different faults, such as the compressor valve leakage, the liquid line blockage, the condenser fouling, the evaporator fouling, and the refrigerant leakage of an air-conditioning system, were considered. The fault diagnosis algorithm was tested by using a fault simulation facility. Test results showed that the algorithm developed for this study was effective to detect and diagnose various faults. Therefore, this algorithm may be practically used for the fault diagnosis of an air-conditioning system.
