기존의 IGCC의 장점인 고효율 플랜트의 특성을 살리기 위해 고온정제를 적용하는 경우 조건변화에 따른 플랜트 성능의 영향을 관찰하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. IGCC에 고온정제 공정을 적용하여 구성한 모델은 연구 목적에 알맞은 범위의 건전성을 가진 것으로 나타났으며 기타 조건을 동일하게 설정한 경우 저온 정제 공정(MDEA amine) 적용에 비해 플랜트 효율이 약 2.7% 가량 상승하였다. 한편 동일한 고온정제 공정이라도 적용하는 흡수제를 zinc titanate에서 zinc ferrite로 달리 하는 경우 탈황제의 화학 반응상 특성 및 차이점으로 인해 연료가스의 발열량 변화를 유발하므로 결과적으로 약 0.5%의 플랜트 효율 손실이 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 탈황 온도 350~$650^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도범위에 대해 민감도 분석을 실행하였으며 민감도 분석 결과 전제 온도의 증가와 플랜트 효율은 정비례하지 않으며 50$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 정제 온도를 적용한 경우는 거의 비슷한 효율을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 정제 온도를 증가시킴으로 인해 가스터빈에 공급되는 연료가스의 온도는 높아지지만 적용한 가스터빈의 출력 및 연소 온도가 제한되어 있어 고온정제를 적용함으로써 얻어지는 이득을 가스터빈에서 충분히 보상하지 못하고 한편으로 고온정제를 채택함으로써 저온정제 적용시 보다 syngas cooler에서 회수할 수 있는 헌열이 줄어듦으로 인한 증기 터빈 출력의 감소가 커지기 때문으로 분석되었다.

The objective of the present study is to predict the characteristics of heat and mass transfer around an evaporative condenser. Numerical calculations have been performed using multi-zone method to investigate heat transfer rate and evaporation rate with the variation of inlet condition(velocity, relative humidity and temperature) of the moist air, the flow rate of the cooling water and the shape of the condenser tube. From the results it is found that the profile of heat flux is the same as that of evaporation rate since heat transfer along the gas-liquid interface is dominated by the transport of latent heat in association with the vaporization(evaporation) of the liquid film. The evaporation rate and heat transfer rate is increased as mass flow rate increases or relative humidity and temperature decrease respectively. But the flow rate of the cooling water hardly affect the evaporation rate and heat flux along the gas-liquid interface. The elliptic tube which the ratio of semi-minor axis to semi-major axis is 0.8 is more effective than the circular tube because the pressure drop is decreased. But the evaporation rate and heat flux shown independency on the tube shape.

The residual heat and high CaO content present in the slag remaining in the ladle after the completion of continuous casting in the electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process have been utilized to reduce power consumption and lime usage in the ladle furnace (LF) process. However, if the timing of such processes does not align with the LF and continuous casting operations, the recycling rate will decrease. To increase the slag recycling rate, the effect of ladle slag recycling methods, specifically pouring ladle slag into the slag pot in advance for subsequent recycling, on LF operations was analyzed. The slag liquefaction rate was calculated using the thermodynamic program Factsage 8.3 for ladle molten slag recycling methods. By applying each of the 10 heats operations for the ladle slag recycling methods, the desulfurization ability and LF operation performance were compared. It was found that when slag was immediately recycled into the ladle after continuous casting was completed, power consumption decreased by 0.3 MWh, LF operation time was shortened by 1.2 minutes, and the desulfurization rate increased by 5.8%.
