This paper addresses the optimal design of dividing wall distillation column which is rapidly applied in a variety of chemical processes over recent several years because of its high energy saving efficiency. A general dividing wall column model which can cope with the heat transfer through the dividing wall is developed using rigorous computer simulation. Based on the simulation model, the effects of the internal recycle flow distribution around the dividing wall and the heat transfer across the dividing wall on overall system performance are investigated. An improved method is suggested to utilize the heat transfer through the wall to optimal column design. The suggested method is compared with the existing method via. simulation study and shows more improved energy saving result. Several control strategies for the divided wall column are tested and the optimal control strategy is propose

In this paper, the electric vehicle (EV) and internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) are compared for different driving cases. The EV exhibits a lower powertrain efficiency when driven on the aggressive driving cycle than when driven on the moderate cycle. In particular, EV powertrain efficiency is low when the battery state of charge (SOC) is low, but ICEV efficiency increases when the driving cycle changes from the moderate cycle to the aggressive cycle. Based on these results, attempts can be made to increase EV powertrain efficiency. EV charging before the battery power drops to a low charging state can reduce energy consumption by 2.7% for an urban area. Furthermore, ECO driving has a more significant effect on EVs than on ICEVs.

Whole-Body counters have been used to evaluate the internal contamination of gamma emitting radionuclides. Among the whole-body counters used in domestic nuclear facilities, Fastscan made by CANBERRA contains 2 NaI(Tl) detectors and is generally used to monitor the primary internal exposure. It has the advantage of achieving MDA even with short time measurements. Accuscan is a bed type, and has good energy resolution because it is composed of HPGe detector. Since the Accuscan with better energy resolution than Fastscan has better able to identify radionuclides, it is used to monitor secondary internal exposure. Some nuclear facilities have only Fastscan. We analyzed statistically whether Fastscan is enough to ensure accuracy and precision comparing with Accuscan. To do this, we prepared a CRM created by the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science. We also obtained the data of 6 Fastscans and 5 Accuscans in domestic nuclear facilities. As a result of the study, although Fastscan compared with Accuscan is not as accurate as the Accuscan, the precision is statistically same. However, accuracy of Fastscan is in compliance with international standards except low energy range. In terms of accuracy and precision except radionuclides emitting low energy, it is possible to measure radioactivity inside workers even in nuclear facilities where only Fastscan is used.

Recently, researchers are developing a new, clean, renewable and sustainable energy to the industrial areas and the residential areas. Solar cell and fuel cell energy are presented in this paper. The paper shows the P-I and I-V characteristics of fuel cells which are connected in parallel and series. And the voltage drop of internal resistance of the fuel cell decreases with the increasing of the current of the fuel cell. A voltage drop at the internal resistance is increased according to the current, thus the terminal voltage is decreased. The internal resistance is calculated $0.3[\Omega]$ from maximum power transfer condition.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems utilize the temperature difference between the surface water and deep ocean water to generate electrical energy. In addition to ocean surface waves, wind and current, in certain locations like the Andaman Sea, Sulu Sea and the South China Sea the presence of strong internal waves may become a concern in floating OTEC system design. The current paper focuses on studying the dependence of the CWP hydrodynamic drag on relative velocity of the flow around the pipe, the effect of drag amplification due to vortex induced vibrations and the influence of internal waves on the floating semi and the cold water pipe integrated OTEC system. Two CWP sizes are modeled; the 4m diameter pipe represents a small scale prototype and the 10m diameter pipe represents a full commercial size CWP. are considered in the study.

The measurements of velocities of internal flow in a scaled-up nozzle were made by laser Doppler velocimetry in order to clarify the effect of internal flow on the characteristics of fuel spray. The investigated length to diameter ratio(L/d) of the orifice were 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8, and inlet radius to diameter ratio(r0/d) were 0 and 0.5. Mean and fluctuating velocities and discharge coefficients were obtained at various Reynolds number ranging between 15,000 and 28,000, and L/d ranging between 1 and 8 in sharp and round inlet nozzle. The turbulent intensity and turbulent kinetic energy at exit in a sharp inlet nozzle were higher than that in a round inlet nozzle. For sharp inlet nozzle, fluctuating velocities near exit were decreased with increasing L/d.

Electromagnetic seawater thrusters may be classified into four general categories : internal duct dc, external field dc, internal peristaltic ac, and external peristaltic ac. Internal duct dc thrusters offer the advantages of low magnetic field leakage, simple construction, and potentially high reliability. The most efficient internal duct configuration consists of converging inlet nozzle and a straight discharge duct. Ideal efficiency calculations based on the one-dimensional Bernoulli equation show that thrusters should be designed with large cross-sectional areas and operate at low discharge velocities. In practice, this may be accomplished by using multiple thruster ducts. Conductivity enhancement, high magnetic fields, and long electrodes will also improve efficiency.

Fast depletion of fossil fuels is urgently demanding a carry out work for research to find out the viable alternative fuels for meeting sustainable energy demand with minimum environmental impact. In the future, our energy systems will need to be renewable and sustainable, efficient and cost-effective, convenient and safe. Hydrogen is expected to be one of the most important fuels in the near future to meet the stringent emission norms. The use of the hydrogen as fuel in the internal combustion engine represents an alternative use to replace the hydrocarbons fuels, which produce polluting gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydro carbon (HC) during combustion. In this paper contemporary research on the hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engine can be given. First hydrogen-engine fundamentals were described by examining the engine-specific properties of hydrogen and then existing literature were surveyed.
