Rankine cycle using ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid has attracted much attention, since it may be a very useful device to extract power from low-temperature heat source. In this work, the thermodynamic performance of regenerative ammonia-water Rankine cycle is thoroughly investigated based on the second law of thermodynamics and exergy analysis, when the energy source is low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy. In analyzing the power cycle, several key system parameters such as ammonia mass concentration in the mixture and turbine inlet pressure are studied to examine their effects on the system performance including exergy destructions or anergies of system components, efficiencies based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The results show that as the ammonia concentration increases, exergy exhaust increases but exergy destruction at the heat exchanger increases. The second-law efficiency has an optimum value with respect to the ammonia concentration.

Exergetic and thermoeconomic analysis were performed for a 500-MW combined cycle plant and a 137-MW steam power plant without decomposition of exergy stream of matter into thermal and mechanical exergies. The calculated costs of electricity are almost same within 0.5% as those obtained by the thermoeconomic method with decomposition of exergy into thermal and mechanical exergies of the combined cycle plant. However for the gas-turbine cogeneration plant having different kinds of products. the difference in the unit costs of products, obtained from the two methodologies is about 2%. Such outcome indicates that the level at which the cost balances are formulated does not affect the result of thermoeconomic analysis, that is somewhat contradictory to that concluded previously.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain enthalpy balance and exergy analysis for the energy losses in a steam power plant. The enthalpy and exergy analysis of the steam power plant were carried out on the various output of steam turbine. While enthalpy analysis shows that circulating loss in the condenser is maximum, exergy evaluation of the power plant shows that the losses of the boiler and turbine are considerably larger than those of condenser and feed water heater. Most irreversible losses of the power plant occur at the boiler. For improving the performance, the precise study about the irreversible losses of the boiler is necessary.

In order to minimize compression power and analyze the cause of exergy loss for a dry ice production cycle with 3-stage compression, the variation of compression power was investigated and the exergy analysis was peformed for the cycle. In this cycle, $CO_2$, is used both as a refrigerant and as a raw material for dry ice. The behavior of compression power and irreversibility in the cycle were examined as a function of intermediate pressure. From this result, the conditions for the minimum compression power were obtained in terms of the first stage or the third stage pressure. In addition, the irreversibilities for the cycle were investigated with respect to the efficiency of compressor. Result shows that the optimum pressure is not consistent with the conventional pressure obtained from the equal-pressure-ratio assumption. This is mainly due to the change in mass flow rate of the intermediate stage compressor by the flash gas evaporation from the flash drums. Most important is that the present exergy analysis enabled us to find bad performance components for the cycle and informed us of methods to improve the cycle performance.

대형 선박의 추진용 디젤엔진에서 버려지는 배기가스의 열을 회수하기 위한 랭킨사이클이 적용된 발전시스템에 대하여 R245fa 및 water의 작동유체에 따른 그 엑서지 특성을 분석하였다. 그 이론적인 계산 결과로, R245fa에 대하여 터빈입구의 압력이 증가할수록 엑서지 효율 및 시스템의 엑서지 효율이 증가하였고, 엑서지 파괴율은 주로 응축기 및 증발기에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 그리고 질량유량의 증가에 따라 시스템의 엑서지 효율이 증가하는 특성을 보였다. Water의 경우에, 증발기에서의 엑서지 파괴율은 R245fa의 경우와 유사하게 나타났지만, 터빈입구의 압력 및 질량유량 비율의 변동에 대하여 열원에 대한 엑서지 손실률이 가장 큰 폭으로 변동하였다.

지구 온난화 문제 해결과 온실가스 감축을 위해 순산소 연소를 통한 $CO_2$ 포집기술이 개발되었으나, 산소 생산비용이 높아 경제성이 떨어지는 문제를 가지고 있다. 순산소 연소에 필요한 대량의 산소 생산은 초저온 공기분리장치(ASU: Air Separation Unit)가 가장 적합한 방법으로 산소 생산 비용 절감을 위해 ASU의 효율을 높이는 것이 필요하다. ASU의 효율 향상을 위해서는 현재 공정의 효율 평가 및 에너지 소비 형태를 확인해야 하며, 이를 위해 엑서지 분석이 사용될 수 있다. 엑서지 분석은 공정에서 사용된 에너지의 정보, 에너지 손실의 위치, 크기 등을 확인 시켜주며, 에너지 손실을 최소화 할 수 있는 공정 최적화를 가능하게 해준다. 본 연구에서는 초대형 규모의 ASU 공정개발 및 최적화를 위해 엑서지 분석을 이용하였다. ASU의 공정모사를 수행하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 엑서지 값을 계산하였다. 그 결과 ASU의 cold box에서 엑서지 손실을 줄이기 위해 운전압력을 낮추는 방법을 제안하였고, cold box의 열침입 및 열손실 감소의 필요성을 확인하였다. 또한 ASU의 단위 공정 중 다른 공정과 열통합이 필요한 위치를 확인 하였다.

Gas turbine system with steam injection has shown outstanding advantages such as high specific power and NOx reduction. In the present work, a comparative exergetic analysis was carried out for Steam Injected Gas Turbine (STIG), Regenerative Steam Injected Gas Turbine (RSTIG), and Regenerative After Fogging Gas Turbine (RAF). Effects of pressure ratio, steam injection ratio and steam injection method on the system performance was theoretically investigated. The results showed that the order of the highest exergy efficiency is RSTIG, RAF, and STIG for low pressure ratios but STIG, RSTIG, and RAF for high pressure ratios. In each arrangement, the combustion chamber has the highest exergy destruction and the compressor has the second one.

During the hydrogen fueling process, hydrogen temperature inside the compressed tank were limited below 85℃ due to the allowable pressure of tank material. The chiller system to cool compressed hydrogen used R407C, greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential (GWP), as a refrigerant. To reduce greehouse gas emission, it should be replaced by refrigerant with a low GWP. This study proposes a chiller system for fueling hydrogen with R290, consisted in propane, by applying the C3 pre-cooled system use d in the LNG liquefaction process. The proposed system consisted of hydrogen compression and cooling sections and optimized the operating pressure through exergy analysis. It was also compared to the exergy efficiency with the existing system at the optimal operating pressure. The result showed that the optimal operating pressure is 700 kPa in 2-stage, 840 kPa/490 kPa in 3-stage, and the exergy efficiency increased by 17%.

In this study, the exergy characteristics were analyzed, according to the mass flow rate of the propane working fluid and the pressure change in the turbine inlet, for the efficient recovery of cold energy and exhaust heat by the waste energy recovery system applied to the LNG FSRU regasification process. When the turbine inlet pressure and mass flow rate of the Primary Rankine Cycle were kept constant, the exergy efficiency and the net power increased. This occurred as the turbine inlet pressure and the mass flow rate of the working fluid increased in the Secondary Rankine Cycle, respectively, and the maximum values were confirmed. In this regard, the fluctuations in the exergy rate flowing into and out of the system and the exergy rate destroyed by pumps, evaporators, turbines, and LNG heat exchangers (condensers) were examined in detail.

본 논문은 R744용 해양온도차 발전 시스템의 운전변수에 대한 최적의 설계를 위해서 엑서지효율을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 고려된 작동변수로는 과열도와 과냉각도, 증발온도와 응축온도, 터빈과 펌프 효율 등이다. 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. R744용 해양온도차 발전 사이클의 증발온도, 과열도, 터빈효율, 펌프효율이 증가할수록 엑서지 효율은 증가한다. 그러나 응축온도와 과냉각도는 증가할수록 엑서지 효율이 감소한다. 이 중에서 증발온도의 변화가 R744용 해양온도차 발전 사이클의 엑서지 효율에 가장 크게 영향을 미치고, 펌프효율이 가장 적게 영향을 미친다. 따라서 R744용 해양온도차 발전 사이클의 엑서지 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 증발온도를 표층수 온도에 가장 근접하게 증가시키는 것이 유리하다.
