Due to environmental concerns $CO_2$ has been reintroduced as a potential candidate to replace HFCs in refrigeration systems. Oils are always required in a vapor-compression cycle, and thus actual working fluid in the system is $CO_2$-oil mixtures even though the oil concentrations are low at the heat exchangers and the expansion device. The cooling heat transfer coefficients for $CO_2$-oil mixtures under supercritical condition are required to designing of the gas cooler in the $CO_2$ refrigeration system properly. In the present study, the gas cooling heat transfer coefficients for $CO_2$-PEC9 was estimated by using the Gnileinski correlation, and the Kim and Ghajar model through the previous prediction models for the thermo-physical properties of $CO_2$-oil mixture. The Gnileinski correlation was used when the oil wt.% in the mixture is less than 1.0, and for the higher oil concentration the Kim and Ghajar model was applied. The estimated results agree with the experimental results conducted by the Dang et al.

The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop during gas cooling process of carbon dioxide in a helically coiled tube were investigated experimentally. The experiments were conducted without oil in the refrigerant loop. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable speed pump, a mass flowmeter, a pre-heater, a gas cooler(test section) and an isothermal tank. The test section is a double pipe type heat exchanger with refrigerant flowing in the inner tube and water flowing in the annulus. It was made of a copper tube with the inner diameter of 4.85 [mm], the outer diameter of 6.35 [mm] and length of 10000 [mm]. The refrigerant mass fluxes were 200${\sim}$600 [kg/$m^2$s] and the average pressure varied from 7.5 [MPa] to 10.0 [MPa]. The main results were summarized as follows: The heat transfer coefficient of supercritical $CO_2$ increases, as the cooling pressure of gas cooler decreases. And the heat transfer coefficient increases with the increase of the refrigerant mass flux. The pressure drop decreases in increase of the gas cooler pressure and increases with increase the refrigerant mass flux.

This paper deals with the research for the effects of the operating parameters that could be used for a transcritical $CO_2$ mobile air-conditioning system on the cooling performance. The experimental conditions of the performance tests for a system and components such as a gas cooler and an evaporator were suggested to compare the performance of each with the standardized test conditions. And this research presents experimental results for the performance characteristics of a $CO_2$ mobile air conditioning system with various operating conditions such as different gas cooler inlet pressures and frontal air velocities/temperatures passing through an evaporator and a gas cooler. Experimental results show that the cooling capacity was more than 5kW and coefficient of performance (COP) was more than 2.1, also. Therefore, we checked that the mobile air-conditioning system using $CO_2$ has good performance compared to that using HFC-134a.

Recently, many researchers have analyzed the performance of the transcritical $CO_2$ refrigeration cycle in order to identify opportunities to improve the system energy efficiency. The reduction of the expansion process losses is one of the key issues to improve the efficiency of the transcritical $CO_2$ refrigeration cycle. In this study, the analytical study on the performance characteristics of $CO_2$ cycle with an ejector carried out with a variation of outdoor temperature, gascooler inlet air velocity, evaporator inlet air velocity, and evaporator inlet air temperature. As a result, the system performance could be improved over 85% by using an ejector for various operating condition because of the reduction of compressor work. Moreover, the cooling capacity increased about 18% for variable outdoor condition. Therefore, the high performance of an ejector system could be maintained for wide operating conditions and system reliability could be improved compared to that of a basic system.

In this study, a $CO_2$ air-conditioning system was investigated with different types of electrically driven compressors, parallel flow type gas cooler, four-pass type evaporator, internal heat exchanger integrated with accumulator, and electric expansion valve. The experimental study was conducted under various operating conditions (ie., different rotational compressor speeds, air inlet temperatures and air velocity coming into heat exchangers). The experimental results showed the cooling capacity was 3.5kW at $35^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature when the vehicle was idle (ie., the worst condition for cooling off the gas cooler). In terms of performance effect of the compressor, the e-RP model had a slightly better cooling capacity and coefficient of performance than the e-GR model under the same test conditions. An experimental equation for optimum cooling-performance control was also suggested based on the results. A high-pressure control algorithm for the super critical cycle was determined to achieve both maximum cooling performance and efficient energy consumption. The results from the experimental equation coincided with those of previous experimental studies.

본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스의 초임계수 처리 후 얻어진 당화액 내 발효저해물질인 퓨란계 화합물(5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), 푸르푸랄)을 제거하기 위한 목탄 처리의 효과를 구명하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 유사 당화액을 제조하고 목탄 투입량 및 처리 시간에 따른 당 및 퓨란계 화합물의 제거율을 계산해 활성탄의 경우와 비교분석하였다. 글루코오스, 자일로오스, 5-HMF, 푸르푸랄이 포함된 유사 당화액에 목탄 또는 활성탄을 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12% (w/v) 농도로 투입하여 1, 3, 6, 12, 24시간 동안 처리하였다. 처리 결과, 목탄 투입량 및 처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 5-HMF 및 푸르푸랄 제거율이 점차 증가하여 목탄 투입량 8%, 처리 시간 3시간 이상에서는 5-HMF, 푸르푸랄 모두 95% 이상 제거되었으며, 동시에 당의 손실(< 2%)은 거의 없었다. 반면, 활성탄을 처리하였을 경우, 목탄보다 온화한 조건(활성탄 투입량: 8%, 처리 시간: 1시간)에서도 5-HMF 및 푸르푸랄 제거율이 95% 이상이었으나, 글루코오스 및 자일로오스 또한 각각 10% 이상이 제거되었다. 따라서, 결론적으로 당 생산 및 추가적인 당 활용 공정을 고려할 때, 목탄을 이용하는 것이 상대적으로 당화액의 퓨란계 화합물을 효과적으로 제거하고 당 수율을 유지하는 방법으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 초임계 이산화탄소를 반용매로 하는 재결정 공정(SAS, Supercritical Anti-Solvent)을 이용하여 약물 전달시스템의 후보물질로 주목받고 있는 dextran의 미립자를 제조하였다. 용매로는 DMSO(dimethyl sulfoxide)를 사용하였으며, 공정변수인 온도(308.15~323.15 K), 압력(90~130 bar), 용질의 농도(10~20 mg/ml), 용액 주입속도(5.3~15.2 ml/min) 그리고 용질의 분자량(Mw=37,500, 400,000~500,000)이 미세입자 형성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 형성되는 미세입자의 크기는 용질 농도가 증가할수록 증가하였으나, 용액 주입속도와 압력은 입자 크기에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 저분자량의 dextran의 경우에는 313.15 K에서 가장 작은 입자가 만들어졌으며, 고분자량의 dextran의 경우에는 $0.1{\sim}0.5{\mu}m$정도 크기의 입자가 만들어 졌으며 온도와 압력이 커질수록 입자의 크기도 증가하였다. 용질의 농도가 5 mg/ml인 경우, 분자량이 작은 dextran 으로는 입자를 제조할 수 없었으며 고분자량의 경우에는 용질 농도가 15 mg/ml 까지 증가하면 제조된 입자들이 서로 엉키는 경향을 보였다. 분자량이 작은 경우에는 낮은 농도에서는 재결정조에서 충분한 과포화도를 얻을 수 없어 침투성과 확산계수가 큼에도 불구하고 재결정화가 이루어지지 못하며, 분자량이 큰 고분자계의 높은 농도에서는 서로 상호작용하는 인력이 저분자에 비해 크게 증가하게 되어 입자들이 엉키게 되는 것으로 사료된다.

통계적 실험계획법을 이용하여 TDI 공정에서 발생하는 고체 폐기물(TDI-R)을 근임계수로 가수분해하여 TDA로 재활용하는 연구를 진행하였다. Batch 반응기를 이용한 실험으로부터 TDA 수율에 미치는 주요 인자들의 영향과 교호작용을 확인하였고, pilot plant를 이용한 연속공정 실험을 통해 TDA 수율과 공정 변수들의 상관 식을 도출하였다. TDA 수율에 영향을 주는 주요 인자들은 반응온도, 촉매 종류 및 농도, 물과 TDI-R의 중량비(WR) 등이 유효한 것으로 파악되었다. 반응 온도와 촉매 농도가 증가할수록 TDA 수율은 감소하였고, WR이 증가할수록 수율은 증가하였으며, 촉매로는 $Na_2CO_3$보다 NaOH를 사용하는 것이 효율적이었다. 주요 인자들의 교호작용으로는 촉매농도와 반응온도, WR과 반응온도, 촉매 종류와 반응시간 등이 유효한 것으로 파악되었다. 아임계 온도인 $300^{\circ}C$에서는 촉매 농도 영향이 작지만 초임계수 온도인 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 촉매 농도가 증가할수록 수율이 감소하였다. 반면 $300^{\circ}C$에서 WR이 증가하면 수율이 증가하지만 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 영향이 나타나지 않았다. Pilot plant를 이용하여 scale-up에 필요한 공정 변수의 최적화 실험을 실시하였다. 공정의 경제성, 효율성을 고려하여 공정변수로는 촉매농도와 WR을 정하였고, 중심합성 설계법을 이용하여 TDA 수율에 미치는 인자들의 영향을 파악하였다. 촉매 농도에 따라 수율은 증가하며, 촉매 농도가 낮을 때는 WR이 2.5 이하에서 수율이 최대값을 보인 후 WR이 증가함에 따라 수율이 감소하지만 촉매 농도가 증가하면서 최대값을 보이는 WR이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Pilot plant 실험 결과를 회귀 분석하였으며 TDA 수율을 예측할 수 있도록 촉매 농도와 WR이 변수인 2차 식으로 상관식을 도출하였다.

Supercritical carbon dioxide ($sCO_2$) power system is emerging technology because of its high cycle efficiency and compactness. Meanwhile, PCHE (Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger) is gaining attention in $sCO_2$ power system technology because PCHE with high pressure-resistance and larger heat transfer surface per unit volume is fundamentally needed. Thermo-fluidic characteristics of $sCO_2$ in the micro channel of PCHE should be investigated. In this study, heat transfer characteristics of $sCO_2$ of various inlet conditions and cross-sectional shapes of single micro channel were investigated experimentally. Experiment was conducted at supercritical state of higher than critical temperature and pressure. Test sections were made of copper and hydraulic diameter was 1 mm. Convective heat transfer coefficients were measured according to each interval of the channel and pressure drop was also measured. Convective heat transfer coefficients from experimental data were compared with existing correlation. In this study, using measured data, a new empirical correlation to predict near critical region heat transfer coefficient is developed and suggested. Test results of single channel will be used for design of PCHE.
