Electric arc furnace and converter slag are produced by about 6 millions tons in Korea at 2000 year. But compared with blast furnace slag, those are utilized only in unvalued material like landfill and road construction. There are unstable materials, like free CaO, in electric arc furnace and converter slag at steel-manufacturing process. This might cause volume expansion in concrete, if electric arc furnace and converter slag aggregates were used in concrete. This expansion may reach to crack or collapse of concrete. It is therefore settled by standard specification for concrete that electric arc furnace and converter slag aggregates have not to use in concrete. First of all, volume stability and stabilized process should be solved in electric arc furnace and converter slag aggregate to use in concrete. In this study, 6 types of aging are evaluated for effects of stabilization to reduce the expansion of electric arc furnace and converter slag. h converter slag aggregate, these types of aging are not good for volume stability for concrete aggregate, and even if converter slag aggregate is treated with aging, concrete with it has some problems that strength is reduced with curing days. But in electric arc furnace slag aggregate treated with hotwater and steam aging, the expansion of electric arc furnace slag aggregate is reduced about two times than that of converter slag aggregate, and electric arc furnace slag aggregate concrete has good results in strength compared with control concrete using crushed stone.

A $CO_2$ cycle shows large throttling loss during the expansion process. The application of an expander into the $CO_2$ cycle can reduce the throttling loss and then improve system performance. In this study, the performance of a transcritical $CO_2$ cycle with an expander was analytically investigated in order to improve the cooling performance of the system. The expander was applied to the single-stage and two-stage compression cycles. The performance was analyzed with the variations of compressor frequency, outdoor temperature, and expander efficiency. The single-stage and two-stage compression cycles with the expander showed COP improvement of 25% and 32%, respectively, over the single-stage cycle with an EEV.

Relatively low cycle performance of a conventional $CO_2$ system is partly due to significant increase in friction loss in the expansion process, since the pressure drop across the expansion device is considerably large compared to a conventional refrigeration cycle. To recover friction loss and increase refrigeration effect by providing isentropic expansion, a rotary vane type expander has been designed. Performance of the designed expander has been investigated by numerical simulation. With the pressure condition of 9 MPa/4.5 MPa and inlet temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, volumetric, isentropic, and mechanical efficiencies of the expander are calculated to be 58.1%, 101.1%, and 78.8%, respectively, resulting in total expander efficiency of 46.3%. With this expander, COP of a $CO_2$ refrigeration cycle is estimated to be improved by about 14%.

As $CO_2$ emission with imprudent using fossil fuel, annual mean temperature of earth is increased in every year. Geothermal energy is inexhaustible energy resource to solve this problem. Heat pump performance and heat exchange efficiency of ground loop are important to distribute widely. Thus, this study are performed to increase heat pump performance and heat exchange efficiency of ground loop with dual expansion valves and spacer. As a results, COP of cooling & heating is obtained improvement up to 11.4% using dual expansion valves, and heat exchange efficiency is increased up to 17.5% using spacer. It will be reduced initial installation cost due to increasing heat pump performance and heat exchange efficiency of ground loop.

Experiments were conducted to determine the operating characteristics of a small-scale ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system for various low-temperature heat sources. A small-scale ORC power generation system adopting R-245fa as a working fluid was designed and manufactured. Hot water was used as the heat source, and the temperature was controlled using 110-kW electric resistance heaters that provided temperatures of up to $150^{\circ}C$. An open-drive oil-free scroll expander directly connected to a synchronous generator was installed in the ORC unit. Experiments were conducted by varying the rotational speed of the expander under the same heat source temperature conditions. The factors that influence the performance of the small-scale ORC system were analyzed and discussed.

Almost all of the natural gas consumed in South Korea is compressed into very high pressure for the transportation through the underground pipelines, then reduced in pressure regulation stations before delivery to the consumer. For pressure reduction, expansion valves have been used due to the simple and effective installation, but recover none of the energy in the gas during compression. Hence, turbo-expanders are proposed instead of the valves to accomplish the same pressure letdown function and recover some of the compression energy in the form of shaft work converting into electric powers. Here we have theoretically calculated the electric powers at the pressure reduction from 68.7 bar to 23 bar (which are the average values taken at the inlet and outlet points of the expansion valve in medium-pressure regulation stations) according to the inlet conditions of temperature and flow rate. The natural gas is considered as two cases of a pure methane and the mixture of hydrocarbons with a very small amount of nitrogen, and the Peng-Robinson equation of state is employed for the calculation of required thermodynamic properties. The electric energy is recovered as much as 1596 MW(methane) and 1567 MW(mixture) based on the total supply of natural gas in 2013.

Turbopump, which is a part of 75 ton open cycle liquid rocket engine has a super sonic impulse turbine. This paper investigated the leading edge thickness effect on the turbine performance experimently. Two rotors were tested with the different leading edge thickness. The ratios (rotor thickness to Pitch) are 1.9 and 1.4 times to 30 ton turbine rotor. As a result, a rotor with 1.4 times ratio had a 1.5% higher efficiency gain than a rotor with 1.9 times ratio. The pressure ratio with the maximum efficiency on the same rotational speed was increased to the full expansion ratio of nozzle.
