Considering the significant waste of industrial energy, effective use of low temperature waste heat is extremely important. In this study, a heat pump cycle with double effect and double stage was realized, which escalates the hot water temperature from $50^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$ using $160^{\circ}C$ high temperature heat source and $17^{\circ}C$ low temperature heat source. The steam generated in the first generator condenses in the first condenser generating steam in the second generator. The steam condenses in the second condenser and is provided to the second evaporator. Part of the water out of the second evaporator is supplied to the first evaporator, which evaporates using low temperature waste heat. The evaporated steam enters the first absorber and the second evaporator. The steam out of the second evaporator is absorbed into the solution at the second absorber. The hot water temperature is raised in the second condenser and in the second absorber. Proper flow rates and UA values, which satisfied temperature lift $20^{\circ}C$ and COP 1.6, were deduced through trior and error. The COP increases as the temperature of the high temperature water increases, hot water temperature decreases and flow rate increases, waste water temperature and flow rate increases, solution circulation rate decreases. On the other hand, the temperature rise of the hot water increases as the temperature of the high temperature water increases, hot water temperature increases and flow rate decreases, waste water temperature and flow rate increases, solution circulation rate increases. In addition, the COP and hot water temperature rise increase as UAs of the heat exchangers increase.

The IMO (International Maritime Organization) is discussing the improvement of energy ef iciency of ships in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. Currently, by applying an ORC power generation system using waste heat generated from ships, high energy conversion efficiency can be expected from ships. This technology uses an organic medium based on Freon or hydrocarbons as the working fluid, which evaporates at a lower temperature range than water. Through this, it is possible to generate steam (gas) and generate power at a low and low temperature relatively. In this study, the analysis of heat flow between the refrigerant and waste heat in the ORC power generation system, which is an organic Rankine cycle, is analyzed using 3D simulation techniques to determine the temperature change, velocity change, pressure change, and mass change of the fluid flowing of the WHRU (Waste Heat Recovery Unit) inside and the outside the structure. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the mass change affects the structure, and this study analyzed the heat transfer of the heat exchanger from the refrigerant and the exhaust gas of the ship's main engine in the ORC power generation system using this technique.

This study computationally explored the thermal performance of passively-cooled polymer heat sinks utilizing seawater. Polymer heat sinks are proposed as cooling modules of the cold sides of thermoelectric generators for waste heat recovery. 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling was conducted for a detailed numerical study. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and pyrolytic graphite (PG) were selected for the base materials of polymer heat sinks. The computational study evaluated the performance of the PPS and PG heat sinks at various fin numbers and fin thicknesses. Their performances were compared with those of aluminum (Al) and titanium (Ti) heat sinks. The study results showed that the thermal performance of the PG heat sink was 3~4 times better than that of the Ti heat sink. This might be due mainly to the better heat spreading of the PG heat sink than the Ti heat sink. The effect of the number of fins on the performance of the PG heat sink was dissimilar to the cases of the PPS and Ti heat sinks. This result can be explained by the interrelationships among heat spreading, surface area enhancement, and fluidic resistance incorporating with an increase in the number of fins.

Most of low-grad heat (< $200^{\circ}C$) generated from industrial process and human body, is abandoned as waste heat. To harvest the waste heat, the thermoelectrics (TE) technology has been widely investigated so far. However, TE suffers from poor performance and high material cost. As an alternative to the TE device, the thermoelectrical cell (TEC) is gaining growing attention these days. The TEC features several advantages such as high Seebeck coefficient, low cost and design flexibility compared to TE, but its commercial viability was limited by its low heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency. However, recent reports have demonstrated that the performance of TEC can be markedly improved by employing novel electrode/electrolyte materials and by optimizing cell design. This article summarizes the recent progress of TECs in terms of the redox couples, electrolyte solvents and additives, electrode materials and cell design.

중소형 폐기물 소각설비의 폐열보일러에서 생산되는 10 $kg/cm^2$미만의 저압증기를 이용한 증기터빈발전에서 증기의 건도를 높이이 위한 증기 전처리가 필수적이며, 건도를 증가시킨 증기를 이용하여 발전실험을 하였다. 본 연구에 적용된 증기터빈발전기는 마이크로 축류식 증기터빈으로 배압식을 채택하였으며, 증기터빈에 공급되는 증기압력의 증가에 따라 증기공급량, 발전량이 증가하였으며, 이에 따른 발전 효율은 설비의 효율에 따라 변하였다. 또한, 배압식 증기터빈의 경우, 공급.배기측의 증기 압력의 차이가 증가함에 따라 발전을 위한 증기 소비율이 감소하고 발전 효율이 증가함을 볼 수 있었다.
