Natural gas is converted in to LNG by chilling and liquefying the gas to the temperature of $-162^{\circ}C$, when liquefied, the volume of natural gas is reduced to 1/600 of its standard volume. This gives LNG the advantage in transportation. In this study, the effects of the pressure drop of refrigerant and natural gas in the LNG heat exchanger of cryogenic cascade refrigeration cycle were investigated and then the design criteria for the pressure drop of refrigerant and natural gas of the LNG heat exchanger were proposed. The pressure drop of the cascade liquefaction cycle was investigated and simulated using HYSYS software. The simulation results showed that the pressure drop in the LNG heat exchanger is set to 50 kPa considering the increase in the compressor work and COP of cryogenic cascade liquefaction cycle.

The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the heat transfer characteristics of combustion gas or a mixture fuel of LFG and LNG as compared LFG, LNG A Pilot combustion system is constructed. Tube bundle type heat exchangers with vertical and horizontal baffles are used, and the experiment is carried out for different operating conditions, the heating value, the concentration of methane (44.5%, 54.5%). The results show that the Nusselt number of LNG is higher than that of LFG at the same Reynolds number, and in case LFG, the Nusselt number of the mixture of LFG and LNG is larger than that of LFG alone. Therefore, heat transfer is improved by using LFG that is added to LNG pertinently, if and instability of LFG supply will be relaxed.

There are no domestic researches of plate fin heat exchanger in the field of cryogenic such as LNG FPSO liquefaction plant. In this study, condensing heat transfer characteristics of nitrogen according to three kinds of fin type in the plate fin heat exchanger were analyzed through simulation and experiment to secure independent technologies. In the simulation, nitrogen was condensed at 69bar and $-140^{\circ}C$ in serrated and wavy fin of plate-fin heat exchanger. The serrated fin shows the highest value of local heat transfer coefficient, followed by wavy and plain fin. The experimental results were shown errors less than 12% comparing with the simulation results.

2 Types of heater (Vitiated Type, Clean Air Type) in order to increase the temperature for a test are used for industry. In this report, large capacity clean air type heater was designed. Heater capacity and LNG consumption rate can be calculated by the air mass flow and heater inlet/outlet temperature. The heater is composed by Burner, Furnace, Heat Exchanger, and Stack. The hot air from the burner and cold air from the tube inlet exchange their heat indirectly in the heat exchanger, so the desired temperature can be achieved at the exit of the tube.

우리나라에서 피크부하용으로 사용하는 복합발전이 하계시에서 외기온도가 상승함에 따라 실제로는 정격출력을 내지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연료(LNG)의 냉열을 이용하여 가스터빈의 연소용공기를 냉각시킬 경우, 복합발전 시스템의 성능변화를 분석하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과 LNG의 냉열을 이용하여 연소용공기를 원하는 온도까지 냉각시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 연소기로 연료를 투입하기전에 설계온도까지 예열시키는 열교환기를 통해 배기가스에 함유된 현열을 더욱 많이 회수하면서, 가스터빈 투입연료의 온도를 상승시킬 수 있어, 시스템효율이 더욱 상승함을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 외기온도가 변하는 경우에, 본 시스템의 도입을 위해서는 경제성분석과 더불어 열교환기 시스템의 최적합성이 추후 진행되어야 할 것이며, 이를 통해 최적의 발전시스템을 구성할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

The characteristics of evaporation heat transfer for the utilization of LNG cold energy was investigated experimentally using liquified nitrogen and a solution of ethylene-glycol and water under horizontal two-phase conditions in the small-scale equipment of a cryogenic heat exchange system. The inner tubes in the double pipe heat exchanger with 8 mm and 15 mm inner diameter and 6 m length were adopted as a smooth test tubes and enhanced tubes by means of wire-coil inserts. Heat transfer coefficients and Nusselt number for the test tube were calculated from measurements of temperatures, flowrates and pressures. The correlations in a power-law relationship of the Nusselt number, the Reynolds number and Prandtl number for heat transfer were proposed which can be available for design of cryogenic heat exchangers. The correlations showed heat transfer coefficients for the wire-coil inserts were much higher than those for the smooth tubes, increased by more than 2.5 ${\~}$ 5.5 times depending upon the equivalent Reynolds number. Form and length of cryogenic double pipe heat exchanger were proposed for applicable to the utilization of LNG cold energy.

The objective of performing this study is to develop low emission condensing gas boiler. To reduce NOx and CO, three reasonable distances between burner and heat exchanger were decided through the experiments of model plane burner. Three burners with different diameter were made and then emission characteristics were examined. The optimum burner geometry was determined from flame stability, pollutant emission characteristics and applicability to the practical boiler system. In the domain of equivalence ratio 0.68~0.85, turn-down ratio of the burner designed by this research was extended to a wider range of 5 : 1. Thermal efficiency of the boiler developed by this study reached to 97% (LHV basis) of heating water efficiency at heating load of 20,000 kcal/hr when fueled by both of LNG or LPG. Emission ($O_2$=0%, wet basis) of NOx and CO concentration was 26 ppm and 85 ppm when fueled by LNG, 41 ppm and 113 ppm when fueled by LPG respectively.
