A cycle analysis is performed to investigate how the non-ideal gas behavior of helium reduces the heating capacity of VM heat pumps. Since the operating pressures of VM heat pumps are as high as 1 to 20 MPa, the compressibility factor of helium becomes clearly greater than 1 and the non-ideal behavior always represents a thermal loss in heating. To calculate the amount of the losses, an adiabatic cycle analysis is performed with the real properties of helium and the net enthaply flows through the two regenerators are numerically obtained. It is shown that the non-ideal gas losses could be as much as 8% in the heating capacity when the operating pressures are greater than 10MPa. The effects of the operating temperatures and the dead volumes on the loss are presented.

This research represents enhancement of forgeability of SNCM522H steel. Output Shaft (OP Shaft) has been used as a subject for the study. OP Shaft is used as component of power train for automobiles. To develop I pass cold forging process instead of existing 2 pass process for OP Shaft, studies in terms of process design and heat treatment were performed. To verify the new process, CAE simulations were performed. And hardness test, microstructural analysis and tensile tests after heat treatment were carried out to evaluate the validity of proposed heat treatment cycle. The 2 pass forging process could be reduced as 1 pass process through improvement of process and heat treatment cycle.

A general concept on the definition of the second law efficiencies of thermodynamic cycles is introduced. The efficiency is defined to be proportional to the entropy generation divided by the maximum possible entropy generation. This way of definition of the cycle efficiency is clear and concise and, moreover, follows faithfully the concept of the second law of thermodynamics. This definition is applied to heat engine, refrigerator and heat pump. The second law efficiencies of heat engine and refrigeration cycles are derived, which are the same as the existing ones, respectively. The second law efficiency of heat pump, however, finds to be different from the existing one. Discussion is given about the difference and its cause.

The effect of heat treatment on torsion characteristics of high nitrogen steel wire has been studied by torsion test, tensile test, specific resistivity, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. After heat treatment at 600∼$700^{\circ}C$, torsion cycle was increased with increasing temperature. Especially, in case of high nitrogen steel wire heat teated at $650^{\circ}C$, torsion cycle was sharply increased. It is estimated that cold worked high nitrogen steel wire started to recrystallize and phase transform at 64$0^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere.

The objectives of the present work is to investigate the influence of the solution cooled absorber(SCA), refrigerant drain heat exchanger(RSX), exhaust gas/solution heat exchanger(ESX) and high efficiency solution heat exchanger on COP for a double-effect series-flow absorption chiller. A simulation program has been prepared for the cycle analysis of absorption chillers. As a result, Solution heat exchangers(LSX, HSX) are a most effective element for the COP than the others. In spite of the poor contribution to COP, SCA make a rule to reduce the crystallization phenomena of LiBr solution at solution heat exchanger. And the optimum solution split ratio are varied with the relative size of RSX and LSX.

Thermodynamic and economic analyses of various types of gas turbine combined cycle power plants have been performed to establish criteria for optimization of power plants. The concept of efficiency, in terms of the difference in energy levels of electricity and heat, was introduced. The efficiency of power and heat generation by power plants with other purposes was estimated, and power generation costs were figured out for various types of combined heat and power plants(i.e., fired and unfired, condensing and non-condensing modes, single or double pressure HRSG).

A technique of the heat rate allocation was devised to monitor the performance of Combined Cycle Power Plant. This calculates the expected heat rate of current conditions and compares it with actual values. Loss allocation in heat rate is reconciled by calculating the magnitude of the deficiency contributed by major components, such as the gas turbine, heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), steam turbine and condenser. Expected power output is determined by a detailed model and correction curves of the plant.

An air source heat pump using liquid injection technique, which can be applied for very low temperature climate, has been simulated to examine the design options. Comparison between the simulation and experiment has been carried out to validate the simulation method. Effects of various design parameters such as liquid injection rate and injection pressure are Investigated to optimize the performance of the heat pump. Finally, optimal liquid infection rate and injection pressure to maintain sufficient heating capacity and moderate discharge refrigerant temperature are suggested when the heat pump was operated at very low outdoor temperature.

Geothermal water at moderate temperature in a range between 30 to $50^{\circ}C$ exists sparse in surroundings. Mostly they are utilized as heat or water source at spar zones in Korea. However, a large portion of used water is discarded due to its poor recovery quality and inferior application technologies. In this research, an innovative heat pump system based on the hybrid concept that combinate compression cycle and absorption cycle was investigated mathematically. The hybrid heat pump aims to recycle various kind of the heat sources at moderate temperature including geothermal water effectively. The prime objective of the simulation is to design a compression/absorption hybrid heat pump system which can make high temperature above the level of $90^{\circ}C$ and low temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ as well at the same using $50^{\circ}C$ geothermal heat water. As a result, primitive data was provided as a basis to design a prototype 3 RT class hybrid heat pump.
