An analysis program for the thermal performance prediction of steam turbine cogeneration systems with multi-extraction, reheat and regeneration has been developed on the basis of the thermodynamic heat balance method. Heat balance analyses were performed for a commercial cogeneration power plant using the program. Its appropriateness was verified by comparing its heat balance results with those of other commercial programs and those provided by the original system designer. Further parametric analyses were carried out and performance improvement measures in designing the plant were suggested.

Noise regulation of heavy construction machinery is getting stricter： 3 dB per every 4 year in European community. To meet this requirement many engineers have adopted the enclosing structures with thick absorbing materials and small opening, This increases internal temperature of the enclosure which have engine systems such as electric equipment that are vulnerable to heat, and engine block and muffler that can be regarded as heat sources. So noise control engineers have to consider a coupling problem: combining heat balance and noise reduction. This paper describes this approach by introducing simple heat transfer theory and SEA. The enclosing system of the loader whose enclosing structure consists of two rooms is investigated to show the validity of this method. The results represent that the simple heat transfer theory can be useful to estimate cooling performance when it is linked together by the back pressure theory in duct system. and the radiated noise can also be estimated by the SEA. Therefore a designer can use these approaches to define the opening ratio of an enclosure and the mass flow rate of air considering radiating noise.

When evaluating energy balance and temperature in reduced-scale fire experiments, which are conducted as an alternative to full-scale fire experiments, it is important to consider the similarity in the scale among these experiments. In this paper, a method considering the similarity of energy balance is proposed for setting the conditions for reduced-scale experiments of mechanically ventilated compartment fires. A small-scale fire experiment consisting of various cases with different compartment geometries (aspect ratios between 0.2 and 4.7) and heights of vents and fire sources was conducted under mechanical ventilation, and the energy balance in the quasi-steady state was evaluated. The results indicate the following: (1) although the compartment geometry varies the energy balance in a mechanically ventilated compartment, the variation in the energy balance can be evaluated irrespective of the compartment size and geometry by considering scaling factor F (∝h_effA_wR_T, where h_eff is the effective heat transfer coefficient, A_w is the total wall area, and R_T is the ratio of the spatial mean gas temperature to the exhaust temperature); (2) the value of R_T, which is a part of F, reflects the effects of the compartment geometry and corresponds to the distributions of the gas temperature and wall heat loss.

The thermal design of the bus bar of a Gas-Insulated Switchgear(GIS) becomes important since the current-carrying capacity of the GIS is limited by maximum operating temperature. In order to predict temperature rise of the bus bar, a program has been developed. Various heat sources possibly generated in the bus bar are calculated in the program. To estimate temperature rises at the bus bar caused by the heat balance between the heat generation and heat transfer, the finite volume method as well as the $4^{th}$ order Runge-Kutta method has been employed. In the experiments, temperature rises at conductor, contact part and external tank are measured for full-scale gas-insulated bus bars. The comparisons of the predicted values of the heat balance calculation to those of the experiments are made. From the comparisons, it is concluded that the developed program can predict the temperature rise of the bus bar quite well.

The steady and dynamic process model for an internal reforming molten carbonate fuel cell power plant is discussed in this paper. The dominant thermal and chemical dynamic processes are modeled for the stack module and balance-of-plant, including cathode gas preparation, heat recovery, heat loss (Each heat loss amount for the stack and MBOP is obtained from real plant data) and fuel processing. Based on dynamic model and control demand, PID controllers are designed in the whole system. By applying these controllers we can obtain temperature balance of stack and control system depending on changing steam to carbon ratio, air feed amount, and transient condition.

The purpose of this study is on the performance evaluation of horizontally installed GHEX(Geothermal Heat Exchanger, HGHEX) which has been operated for 5 years successfully. Followings are the results. Firstly, in summer season, on Aug. 2000, $33^{\circ}C$ water was flowing out from HGHEX with continuous operating method, and $27{\sim}29^{\circ}C$ with interval operating method on Jul. 2005. But $2.5{\sim}3.0^{\circ}C$ temperature differences are gained from HGHEX. Secondly, in winter season, on Nov. 2000, $25^{\circ}C$ water was flowing out from HGHEX with continuous operating method, and $13{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ with interval operating method on Jan. 2006. But with each operating method, only $0.1^{\circ}C$ and $0.7^{\circ}C$ temperature differences are gained from HGHEX respectively. As the conclusion of this study, at the point of continuos operating method, seasonal balance of heating and cooling loads, and at the point of interval operating method, balance for geothermal restoring time respectively must be considered for better system performances.

Heat losses from receivers for a dish-type solar energy collecting system are numerically investigated. The analytical method for predicting conductive heat loss from a cavity receiver is used. The Stine and McDonald Model is used to estimate convective heat loss. Two kinds of techniques for the radiation analysis are used. The Net Radiation Method that is based on the radiation heat balance on the surface is used to calculate the radiation heat transfer rate from the inside surface of the cavity receiver to the environment. The Monte-Carlo Method that is the statistical approach is adopted to predict the radiation heat transfer rate from the reflector to the receiver. Based on the heat loss analysis, the performance of two different receivers for multifaceted parabolic solar collectors with several flat facets can be estimated, and the optimal facet size is obtained.

본 연구에서는 화력 발전소 보일러에 대한 연소 및 열전달 해석을 위하여 화로 내부를 다중영역으로 나누고 각 영역에서 energy와 mass balance는 1차원으로 계산하고, 복사열전달은 3차원으로 계산하는 다중영역분할 화로해석 기법을 활용하였다. 그리고 적용 기법에 대한 신뢰성 검증을 위하여 국내 500 MW 급 석탄화력 보일러 화로에 대한 계산 값과 보일러 제작사의 설계 데이터를 비교하여 양호함을 확인하였고, 동일한 설비에 대한 CFD 해석과 비교한 결과 유사한 경향을 얻었다. 본 계산 기법은 CFD 화로해석 보다는 덜 상세하지만, 빠른 시간에 연료반응성, 화로형상 및 운전변수에 따른 특성을 계산할 수 있는 장점이 있으므로 발전소 현장에서의 설비감시진단 및 일일 연료/운전 계획 수립 등 활용성 측면에서 유용할 것으로 예상된다.

This paper analyzes the accuracy of the methods used in calibrating the thermal power of Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1), a low-power miniature neutron source reactor located at the Centre for Energy Research and Training, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. The calibration was performed at three different power levels: low power (3.6 kW), half power (15 kW), and full power (30 kW). Two methods were used in the calibration, namely, slope and heat balance methods. The thermal power obtained by the heat balance method at low power, half power, and full power was $3.7{\pm}0.2kW$, $15.2{\pm}1.2kW$, and $30.7{\pm}2.5kW$, respectively. The thermal power obtained by the slope method at half power and full power was $15.8{\pm}0.7kW$ and $30.2{\pm}1.5kW$, respectively. It was observed that the slope method is more accurate with deviations of 4% and 5% for calibrations at half and full power, respectively, although the linear fit (slope method) on average temperature-rising rates during the thermal power calibration procedure at low power (3.6 kW) is not fitting. As such, the slope method of power calibration is not suitable at lower power for NIRR-1.
