Recently, gas turbine generators are widely used for frequency control of power systems. Although the inlet temperature of a gas turbine is a key factor related to the performance and lifespan of the device, the inlet temperature is not measured directly for reasons such as the turbine structure and operating environment. In particular, the inlet temperature of the reheating gas turbine is very important for stable operation management, but field workers are experiencing a lot of difficulties because the manufacturer does not provide information on the calculation formula. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method for estimating the inlet temperature of a gas turbine using a machine learning-based linear regression analysis method based on a polytropic process equation. In addition, by proposing an inlet temperature calculation algorithm through the usefulness analysis and verification of the inlet temperature calculation model obtained through linear regression analysis, it is intended to help to improve the level of reheat gas turbine combustion tuning technology.

Gas turbines, which are used as generators for frequency regulation of the domestic power system, are increasing in use due to the carbon-neutral policy, quick startup and shutdown, and high thermal efficiency. Since the gas turbine rotates the turbine using high-temperature flame, the turbine inlet temperature is acting as a key factor determining the performance and lifespan of the device. However, since the inlet temperature cannot be directly measured, the temperature calculated by the manufacturer is used or the temperature predicted based on field experience is applied, which makes it difficult to operate and maintain the gas turbine in a stable manner. In this study, we present a model that can predict the inlet temperature of a reheat gas turbine based on Deep Neural Network (DNN), which is widely used in artificial neural networks, and verify the performance of the proposed DNN based on actual data.

주증기관 파단사고가 발생하여 서로 다른 온도 및 유속을 갖는 냉각재가 원자로 용기에 유입 될 때 downcomer 및 lower plenum 에서의 혼합현상을 3차원 열수력 분석코드 COMMIX-lB［1］로 모사하여 노심입구에서의 온도분포를 결정하고, 결정된 온도분포를 이용하여 주증기관 파단사고에 대한 열적여유도를 분석하였다. 분석은 주증기관 파단사고시 노심입구온도의 비대칭성이 가장 큰 고리 1호기를 선택하여 수행되었으며, 15주기 교체노심 설계 결과와 비교하여 열적 여유도가 다소 증가함을 확인하였다.

압력기반의 유한체적법과 k-$\varepsilon$난류모델을 이용하여 신생아 보육기 내의 삼차원 정상난류유동해석과 대류현상에 의한 열전달을 해석하였다. 보육기 내의 주된 공기유동은 입구에서 유입된 공기가 보육기 위쪽을 지나 출구로 이동하며 각진 구석에서 작은 와류들이 관찰되었다. 보육기의 입구부를 제외한 대부분에서의 유속은 0.1m/s 이하로 나타났으며, 신생아의 다리부분에서의 속도가 머리부분보다 다소 크게 관찰되었다. 입구쪽의 온도가 출구쪽의 온도보다 1~2$^{\circ}C$ 높게 나타났으며 속도 크기가 큰 다리부분에서의 온도가 머리 또는 목부분보다 다소 낮았다. 보육기 내의 온도변화는 약3~4$^{\circ}C$로 다소 크게 나타났는데 이는 입구에서 유입된 공기가 상벽과 직각으로 만나며, 보육기 외벽의 각진 구석부분에 의한 영향으로 생각된다. 따라서 입구속도를 적절히 줄이거나 유선형의 유동을 갖도록 설계하여 열손실을 최소화한다면 보다 효율적인 보육기가 될 것으로 생각된다.

This paper presents an approximate analytical solution to one-dimensional model of the charging process for stratified thermal storage tanks, in which variation of the inlet temperature as well as the momemtum-induced mixing is taken into accout. The mixing is incorporated into the model as a constant-depth perfectly mixed layer above the plug flow region. Based on the superposition principle, the variable inlet temperature is approximated by a number of step functions. Temperature distributions for the thermocline corresponding to three types of interfacial condition arr successfully derived in terms of well-defined functions, so that a linear combination of them constitutes the final solution. Validity and utility of this work is examined through the comparison of the approximate solution with an exact solution available for the case of linearly increasing inlet temperature. With increasing the number of steps, the present solution asymptotically approaches to the exact one. Even with a limited number of steps, the present results favorably agree with those by the exact solution for a wide range of the mixing depth. Also, it is revealed that fewer steps are needed for meaningful predictions as the mixing. depth becomes larger.

파형 단면을 가진 유하식 집열기의 이론 및 실험 결과로서 유량, 각도등 집열성능에 미치는 영향등이 고려되었다. 입구 온도와 출구온도 차이가 적을 경우에는 이론과 실험치가 잘 맞으나 온도차이가 많을 경우 혹은 입구온도가 높을 때에는 투과체안에 생기는 결로 및 수증기의 영향으로 편차가 커진다. 개방회로와 폐쇄회로의 경우를 구분하여 실험되었는데 개방회로의 경우 효율은 약간 저하되지만 전반적인 성능은 폐쇄회로와 같은 경향을 나타내었다. 개방회로는 과열을 막는 방편으로 이용될 수 있다.

가스터빈 엔진의 효율 및 성능은 터빈입구온도에 크게 좌우되므로, 높은 열효율을 얻기 위하여 최근 가스터빈 엔진은 높은 입구온도(대략 1400-150$0^{\circ}C$)에서 작동되도록 설계되고 있다. 이는 요소재질의 열한계점을 훨씬 상회하며, 이와 같은 입구온도의 고온화 경향은 터빈요소에 대한 열부하를 증가시키고 있다. 따라서 극한의 작동조건하에서의 허용수명 및 안정성의 유지를 위해서 내부대류냉각, 충돌세트냉각과 더불어 막냉각기법이 많이 응용되고 있다. 막냉각기법은 연소기 벽면 혹은 터빈블레이드 표면의 작은 구멍들을 통해서 압축기의 공기를 분사하여 표면에 고온의 유체와 일종의 단열벽을 형성하여 표면을 보호하는 냉각방법이다. 지금까지는 주로 단면적이 일정한 막냉각홀에 대한 연구가 주가 되어왔으나, 이러한 막냉각홀을 이용하는 경우 많은 문제점이 발생한다.

This study presents experimental results of heat transfer characteristics of P.C.M. during outward melting process in a vertical cylinder. The experiment was carried out in six conditions, i. e., three different inlet temperature($7^{\circ}C,\;4^{\circ}C\;and\;1^{\circ}C$) and two directions of working fluid(upward and downward). Melting P.C.M. produced a bell-shaped phase change interface. When the inlet temperature was $7^{\circ}C$, the lower region remained at $4^{\circ}C$ until the temperature of upper region reached $4^{\circ}C$. This was due to the state of maximum density of the lower region. When the direction of the working fluid in the case of $7^{\circ}C$, inlet temperature, was upward, the rate of melting and the total melting energy were higher than when it's direction was downward. But the rate of melting and the total melting energy appeared higher value as it's direction was downward when the inlet temperature is $4^{\circ}C$ and $1^{\circ}C$.

An expander of an organic Rankine cycle is an essential component that significantly influences its entire performance and cycle efficiency. The inlet pressure and temperature of the expander used for the organic Rankine cycle are limited by the expander's mechanical properties and the characteristics of the working fluid. The organic Rankine cycle's output, heat absorption, and efficiency are altered by the inlet pressure and temperature of the expander. In this study, a theoretical comparative analysis was conducted on an organic Rankine cycle's performance changes, which are dependent on the inlet condition of the expander. The working fluid is an R134a refrigerant, and the expander is a positive-displacement type.

A one-dimensional numerical model based on the energy and mass equations have been developed to predict the trans membrane water vapor flux and thermal efficiency under various operating conditions in Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) process. The model validation have been carried out by experimental data from literature and showed good agreement. The effect of operating parameters such as brine inlet temperature and velocity, and distillate inlet temperature and velocity to increase water vapor flux and thermal efficiency were predicted by the steady-state model. The results showed that the inlet temperature and velocity in brine side are dominant factors to control the water vapor flux and thermal efficiency because the effect of inlet temperature and velocity in brine side showed the higher water vapor flux and thermal efficiency than that of inlet temperature and velocity in distillate side. The water vapor flux was increased 3.4 times in the range of 21.22 $kg/m^2h$ to 71.26 $kg/m^2h$ and the thermal efficiency was increased 37.5% in that of 0.556 to 0.765 with increasing brine inlet temperature from $60^{\circ}C$ to $95^{\circ}C$. Meanwhile, the water vapor flux was increased 30% in that of 27.91 $kg/m^2h$ to 36.33 $kg/m^2h$ and thermal efficiency increased 7.5% in that of 0.6 to 0.646 as the brine inlet velocity was increased from 60 m/h to 300 m/h.
