본 논문은 복합사이클 발전플랜트의 폐열회수 보일러 최적운전 및 최적설계에 대한 새로운 접근 방법을 도출하기 위해 폐열회수 보일러에서 발생되는 증기로 증기터빈을 구동하는 하부사이클 효율을 검토하였다. 열역학 제1법칙 해석을 통해 하부사이클 에너지 평형을 검토하였고, 열역학 제2법칙을 통해 엑서지 평형을 검토하였다. 하부사이클 효율이 최대가 되는 폐열회수 보일러를 설계하기 위해서는 열역학 제1법칙을 해석할 경우 하부사이클 전체를 해석하여야 함을 알 수 있다. 하지만, 열역학 제2법칙을 통한 엑서지 해석을 행할 경우 하부사이클 효율이 최대가 되는 증발온도와 폐여회수 보일러에서 소모되는 엑서지가 최소가 되는 점이 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문을 통해 폐열회수 보일러에서 소모되는 엑서지 해석을 통해 하부사이클 효율이 최대가 되는 폐열회수 보일러 최적화가 가능함을 알 수 있다.

The molten carbonate fuel cell has a high temperature of waste heat and can constitute a bottoming cycle to increase the efficiency. Previous study used a bottoming cycle as steam turbine cycle. In this study, we are going to replace the bottoming cycle with a supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle. The system power was compared to consider replacing the bottoming cycle. As a result, the power of the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle at the present development stage is lower than that of the steam turbine cycle, but theoretically, the power can be larger than the steam turbine cycle. If the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle improves the isentropic efficiency of the turbine by 89%, the isentropic efficiency of the compressor by 83%, and the effectiveness of the recuperator by 0.9, the power can be same to the steam turbine cycle.

Thermodynamic analysis of cascade refrigeration systems has attracted considerable research attention. On the other hand, a system evaluation based on thermodynamic analyses of the individual parts, including the evaporator, condenser, intercooler, expansion valve, etc., has received less attention. In this study, performance analysis was conducted on a cascade refrigeration system, which has an individual cooling and refrigeration evaporator, and equips the intercooler and air-cooled condenser in a series in a lower cycle. The thermo-fluid design was then performed on the major components of the system - upper condenser, lower condenser, cooling evaporator, refrigeration evaporator, intercooler, compressor, electronic expansion valve - of 15 kW refrigeration, and 8 kW cooling capacity using R-410A. A series of simulations were conducted on the designed system. The change in outdoor temperature from 26 C to 38 C resulted in the cooling capacity of the lower evaporator remaining approximately the same, whereas it decreased by 9% at the upper evaporator and by 63% at the intercooler. The COP decreased with increasing outdoor temperature. In addition, the COP of the cycle with the intercooler operation was higher that of the cycle without the intercooler operation. Furthermore, the increase in the upper condenser size by two fold increased the upper evaporator by 4%. On the other hand, the lower evaporator capacity remained the same. The COP of the upper cycle increased with increasing upper condenser size, whereas that of the lower cycle remained almost the same. When the size of the lower condenser was increased 2.8 fold, the intercooler capacity increased by 8%, whereas those of upper and the lower evaporator remained approximately the same. Furthermore, the COP of the lower cycle increased with an increase in the lower condenser. On the other hand, the change of the upper condenser was minimal.

Integration of various bottoming cycles such as the gas turbine (GT) cycle, organic Rankine cycle, and oxy-fuel combustion cycle with an molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) power-generation system was analyzed, and the performance of the power-generation system in the three cases were compared. Parametric analysis of the three different integrated systems was carried out under conditions corresponding to the practical use and operation of MCFC, and the optimal design condition for each system was derived. The MCFC/oxy-combustion system exhibited the greatest power upgrade from the MCFC-only system, while the MCFC/GT system showed the greatest efficiency enhancement.

Combined cycle power plant is a system where a gas turbine or a steam turbine is used to produce shaft power to drive a generator for producing electrical power and the steam from the HRSG is expanded in a steam turbine for additional shaft power. The temperature of the exhaust gases from a gas turbine ranges from $400{\sim}650^{\circ}C$, and can be used effectively in a heat recovery steam generator to produce steam. Combined cycle can be classed as a topping and bottoming cycle. The first cycle, to which most of the heat is supplied, is a Brayton gas turbine cycle. The wasted heat it produces is then utilized in a second process which operates at a lower temperature level is a steam turbine cycle. The combined gas and steam turbine power plant have been widely accepted because, first, each separate system has already proven themselves in power plants as an independent cycle, therefore, the development costs are low. Secondly, using the air as a working medium, the operation is relatively non- problematic and inexpensive and can be used in gas turbines at an elevated temperature level over $1000^{\circ}C$. The steam process uses water, which is likewise inexpensive and widely available, but better suited for the medium and low temperature ranges. It therefore, is quite reasonable to use the steam process for the bottoming cycle. Recently gas turbine attained inlet temperature that make it possible to design a highly efficient combined cycle. In the present study, performance analysis of a 3 pressured combined cycle power plant is carried out to investigate the influence of topping cycle to combined cycle performance. Present calculation is compared with acceptance performance test data from SeoInchon combined cycle power plant. Present results is expected to shed some light to design and manufacture 150~200MW class heavy duty gas turbine whose conceptual design is already being undertaken.

The thermodynamic characteristics of a trilateral cycle with water as a working fluid have been theoretically investigated for an electric generation system to recover the waste heat of the exhaust gas from a diesel engine used for the propulsion of a large ship. As a result, when a heat source was given, the efficiencies of energy and exergy were maximized by the specific conditions of the pressure and mass flow rate for the working fluid at the turbine(expander) inlet. In this case, as the condensation temperature increased, the volume expansion ratio of the turbine could be reduced properly; however, the exergy loss of the heat source and exergy destruction of the condenser increased. Therefore, in order to recover the waste exergy from the topping cycle, the combined cycle with a bottoming cycle such as an organic Rankine cycle, which is utilized at relatively low temperatures, was found to be useful.

Hierarchically controlled sequence stratigraphic analysis shows that the Lower Ordovician mixed carbonatesiliciclastic Mungok Formation, Korea consists of three depositional sequences: T1, T2, and T3 in ascending order. Sequence boundaries are generally marked by abrupt transition from coarse-grained shallow-water carbonates to finegrained deeper-water carbonates mixed with fine-grained siliciclastics, and show indication of subaerial exposure such as karstification. Within this sequence stratigraphic framework, facies characteristics indicate that the Mungok sequences were mostly deposited on a subtidal ramp without slope break. The Mungok ramp had been under the influence of frequent tropical storm activity during deposition. The difference in lithology of tempestites seems to have been controlled by the nature of substrates and by proximality. High-frequency cycles consist of upward-shallowing facies successions. Cycles of shallow-water and basinal deposits are not well represented, probably due to cycle amalgamation. Cycle stacking patterns do not show a consistent thickness change that is usually associated with a large-scale sea-level change probably because of unfilled accommodation space.

The thermodynamic characteristics of a combined cycle applied with a topping cycle such as a trilateral cycle at relatively high temperatures and a bottoming cycle such as an organic Rankine cycle at relatively low temperatures have been theoretically investigated. This is an electric generation system used to recover the waste heat of the exhaust gas from a diesel engine used for the propulsion of a large ship. As a result, when the boundary temperature between the topping and the bottoming cycles increased, the system efficiencies of energy and exergy were simultaneously maximized because the total exergy destruction rate (${\sum}\dot{E}_d$) and exergy loss ($\dot{E}_{out2}$) decreased, respectively. In the case of a marine diesel engine, the waste heat recovery electric generation system can be utilized for additional propulsion power, and the propulsion efficiency was found to be improved by an average of 9.17 % according to the engine load variation, as compared to the case with only the base engine. In this case, the specific fuel consumption and specific $CO_2$ emission of the diesel engine were reduced by an average of 8.4% and 8.37%, respectively.

서울지하철 1호선이 1974년 개통이후 현재의 이르고 있다. 양적인 팽창뿐만 아니라 기술적 및 서비스 개선 등 많은 발전을 이룩하였다. 다만 전 수명주기측면에서 한 사이클을 활용하고 개량 및 개선의 필요성이 제기된다. 이때 고려하여야 할 사항으로는 운영, 기술적 사항, 경제성, 비용편익측면 등에서 다각도로 검토되어야 한다. 각 하부시스템에 따라서는 각기 하부 시스템간 인터페이스 되어야 할 부분이 우선적으로 검토되어야 하겠지만 그 중에서 가장 어려운 점이 차량과 신호시스템으로 판단된다. 시스템 기능구현측면에서부터 시스템 운영에 미치는 파급효과 크기 때문에 어려움이 있다. 시스템폐기에 따른 도입, 개선 및 개량 등에 있어서 국내 기준측면에서 살펴보면 차량의 경우 기준은 명확하게 정의되어 있으나 신호시스템의 경우는 그런 기준이 수립되어 있지 못하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 신호시스템의 개량에 대하여 전반적으로 검토하여 향후에 정의되어야 할 내용이나 검토하여야할 사항에 대하여 논하였다.
