The purpose of this study is to manufacture and test a thermoelectric generator which converts unused energy from close-at-hand sources, such as garbage incineration heat and industrial exhaust, to electricity. A manufacturing process and the properties of a thermoelectric generator are discussed before simulating the thermal stress and thermal properties of a thermoelectric module located between an aluminum tube and alumina plate. We can design the thermoelectric modules having the good properties of thermoelectric generation. Resistivity of thermoelectric module for thermoelectric generation consisting of 62 cells was 0.15-0.4$\Omega$ Developed thermoelectric modules can be expected th have better properties than thermoelectric cooling modules above $70^{\circ}C$ in temperature difference between hot and cold ends.

Solar/absorption cooling system was analyzed and its operating condition was examined. For the system, the optimum size of absorption refrigerator and collector area should be determined. As the temperature of water supplied to the generator increases, the collector efficiency decreases whereas the coefficient of performance of absorption refrigerator increases up to a certain point, and vice versa for decreasing of the temperature of water supplied to the generator . Thus if the reeling load is given, the appropriate operating condition can be determined between the two opposing trends by simulation program. As an example of the simulation, the case of Jejudo province was studied. Under the conditions (such as weather data and prices of components, etc.) given en the sample calculation, the result shows that the optimum temperature of water supplied to the generator turned out to be $80.3^{\circ}C$, and still shows a large economical disadvantage in present stage compared to the case of conventional vapor compression cooling/heating combined heat pump system.

In this study, a method for increasing the initial water supply was employed to protect the water injection nozzle by the flame when supplying the water to the steam generator. During the initial steam generator test, the flow rate was controlled by using the only venturi, but cooling water was not supplied to the combustion chamber at the beginning of combustion, thereby resulting in damage to the water nozzle. To solve this problem, a venturi and an orifice were configured in parallel to increase the initial supply flow rate to form a differential pressure between the water manifold and the combustion chamber. Venturi and orifice supply sequences were established through the water flow tests, and combustion tests were conducted for final verification. Consequently, a continuous supply of the cooling water at the beginning of combustion was achieved, and the experiment was successfully performed without damaging the cooling water nozzle.

Present study deals with performance analysis of an inert gas generator (IGG) which is to be used as an effective mean to suppress the fire. The IGG uses a turbo jet cycle gas turbine engine to generate inert gas for fire extinguishing. It is generally known that a lesser degree of oxygen content in the product of combustion will increase the effectiveness of fire suppressing. An inert gas generator system with water injection will bring advantages of suffocating and cooling effects which are considered as vital factors for fire extinguishing. As the inert gas is injected to the burning site, it lowers the oxygen content of the air surrounding the flame as well as reduces the temperature around the fire as the vapour in the inert gas evaporates during the time of spreading. Some important aspects of influencing parameters, such as, air excess coefficient. $\alpha$, compressor pressure ratio, $ pi_c$, air temperature before combustion chamber, $T_2$, gas temperature after combustion chamber, $T_3$, mass flow rate of water injection, $M_w$, etc., on the performance of IGG system are investigated. Calculations of total amount of water needed to reduce the turbine exit temperature to pre-set nozzle exit temperature employing a heat exchanger were made to compare the economics of the system. A heat exchanger with two step cooling by water and steam is considered to be better than water cooling only. Computer programs were developed to perform the cycle analysis of the IGG system and heat exchanger considered in the present study.

In this study, we investigate the plugging effect on the CE type steam generator tube. The natural frequency and mode shape will be changed due to decrease of the effective mass distribution along the tube. We compared the variation of stability ratio for plugged tube with that for unplugged one. The natural frequency increased because of removing the cooling water inside the steam generator tube, but the stability ratio decreased inversely because of changing the vibrational model shape. We also investigated the turbulent excitation effect.

The purpose of this research is to study the characteristics of the coefficient of perform-ance (COP) of the small absorption refrigeration system. This experimental study is performed with two selected variables, the temperature of the generator and the input temperature of the cooling water. In order to determine the input temperature of the generator which gives maximum COP, the experimental data are obtained with controlling the temperature of the generator in the range of $20-32^{\circ}C$ of the temperature of the cooling water. The range of the generator heat suppling temperature which gives maximum efficiency is about $90-95^{\circ}C.$ The temperature range depends on the characteristics of the equipment unit. The most important result in this experiment is the trends of the COP in accordance with the variation of these temperatures. This trend will furnish the informations and knowledges for designing and operating the absorption refrigerator.

In this study, Ice slurry generator heat transfer characteristics are experimentally investigated for the ice slurry generating system with scraper which is pneumatically operated. The ice slurry generator has the same shape as the vertical double tube type heat exchanger. Refrigerant is flowing in the outside tube and ethylene glycol solution in the inside tube. Refrigerant and solution water are parallel flow type which entering bottom of generator and leaving top of generator. The experimentations are conducted under the various test conditions such as compressor speed and cooling water temperature. For the above experimental conditions, heat transfer characteristics of the ice slurry generating system are evaluated in terms of the overall heat transfer coefficient and the heat transfer rate. And the experimental results show that the heat transfer rate of the system is increased as the compressor speed increases and the cooling water temperature decreases.

In this study, the optimization design data was presented by analyzing the performance and durability of the cooling fan by one-way fluid-structure interaction analysis of the cooling fan shape used in the engine generator. For this purpose, a steady-state analysis was performed on the flow field inside the cooling fan, and the durability was analyzed by using the steady-state calculation results as input data for structural analysis. Six types were modeled for fluid analysis by changing the blade and sweep angle of the cooling fan, and the ratio of mass flow rate and torque was best in A type, but B type with relatively large mass flow rate was the best. It was judged to have flow performance. As a result of examining the structural analysis by setting the four blade thickness of the B type selected through the fluid analysis, it was judged that B Type-3 is the most suitable when considering the fatigue safety factor.
