This research dealt with performance characteristics of OTEC system applying an ejector and additional pump. Each system using five kinds of working fluids was analyzed, and primary parameters with respect to entrainment ratio were examined: Turbine gross power, evaporation capacity, pump work, efficiency and volume flow ratio. The primary results were as following. The efficiency of ejector-pump OTEC system was dependent on entrainment of the ejector. The degree of efficiency change was different from applied working fluid, and amount of pump work was turned out to be primary factor affected system efficiency. Meanwhile, optimized entrainment ratio was different from applied working fluid since their different vapor density. System efficiency at optimized entrainmet ratio of each working fluid was around 5%, showing minor difference each other.

The analysis of characteristics of pumping in the small tube well for agriculture were surveyed. Study area was located at the Galsinri in Yesangun near the yedang reservoir. Agricultural electricity using rates for pumping, ground water level and volume of pumping was monitored every week. Pump working ratio and pump efficiency during period of transplanting of rice showed 48.9%, 62.7% respectively.

This study investigates two-phase cooling system of close-loop by using FC-72 and PCM(Phase change material). The cooling system consists of evaporator, cold plate, micro pump, and condenser. The heat input on the performance of evaporator is appreciated by visualizing the boiling on the evaporator. The heat performance of cooling system is investigated to determine the effects of volume fill ratio change at working fluid, pump flow rate change, and volume fill ratio change at PCM in cold plate. Experimental results show the ideal condition when the volume ratio of working fluid, the pump flowing, and the volume ratio of PCM are 60%, 6ml/min, and 60% respectively.

Liquid ejectors are widely used as marine pumps, inducer stage for the boiler feed water pump, boiler recirculating pump, cooling water recirculating pump in boiling water type nuclear reactor and a deep well pump, because of their high working confidence and simplicity. Furthermore, it requires only a modest net positive suction head for cavitation-free operation and it can be installed in remote location from mechanical power source. It is not easy to presume the friction losses, because it is complicately affected by area ratio, flowrate ratio, nozzle spacing, throat length, shape of liquid ejector and so on. Therefore, the optimization of liquid ejector design is still dependent, to a large extent, on the experimental results and empirical procedures. On the design of the liquid ejector, the area ratio and the nondimensional throat length are the most important design factors among the mentioned above. In this experiment, the effects of the area ratio and the nondimensional throat length to ejector efficiency are carried out systematically by the combination of 4 kinds of motive nozzle and 2 kinds of throat length. In this paper, the present experimental results are compared with the calculated ones by the previous computer aided design program based on one dimensional flow equation. And also, an empirical equation for the working limit of liquid ejector is reported.

The scroll pump is widely used in ultra clean vacuum systems. However, there is no commonly available information on the hydrogen pumping characteristics of this pump, which creates a difficulty in determining whether the scroll pump can be used or not in a fusion experiment system where hydrogen ,is the main working gas. In this paper the experimental setup, measurement procedures, experimental results, and discussions on the pumping speed, the maximum compression ratio and the back-streaming properties of the scroll pump, especially for the hydrogen gas, are reported.

This paper presents the fabrication of a micro pump consisting of a pair of Al f1ap wave and a phase change actuator. The phase change actuator is composed of a heater, a silicone rubber diaphragm and a working liquid chamber. The diaphragm is actuated by the evaporation and the condensation of the working liquid. The actuator pumps fluid through the valves. The micro pump is fabricated by the anisotropic etch, the boron deposition and the metal evaporation. The forward and the backward flow characteristics of the f1ap valves were obtained. Also, the flow rate of the micro pump has been measured. When the square wave input of 12 V, 60% duty ratio and 0.2 Hz is applied, the average flow rate is $0.15{\mu}{\ell}/sec$ for zero pressure difference.

Experimental investigation has been carried out to examine the operating characteristics of a bubble pump for diffusion absorption refrigerator. The effects of heat input and delivery height on generation rate of refrigerant vapor and circulation rate of solution have been investigated. as a result heat input and delivery height increase, circulation rate of solution increases. And the smaller the tube diameter, the larger the circulation rate of solution. Pumping ratio increases to a critical point and then decrease with the increase of heat input, and it increases with the increase in delivery height. In this paper, Marcus's analytical theory was also examined. It was found that the Marcus\`s analytical theory of a bubble pump was not appropriate for a bubble pump using ammonia aqueous solution as a working fluid.

We propose an electroosmosis-based air delivery scheme for polymer electrolyte fuel cells and experimentally investigate its feasibility. An electroosmotic pump under a low-frequency AC electric field is used to displace initially a volume of pump working liquids. This working liquid is then pumped into a space enclosed by a flexible membrane and the movement of the membrane delivers air to a fuel cell. We successfully demonstrated the operation of a forced-convection fuel cell using this technique. In this preliminary study, however, the power consumption of the pump exceeds the power generated by the fuel cell. We conclude this paper with a discussion of several ways to reduce the pump-to-fuel cell power ratio.

Performance analysis of double-effect absorption heat pump system has been done to find improved working pairs (or mixture) by computer simulation. Based on the thermodynamic analysis, the coefficient of performance and mass flow ratio are investigated to compare three aqueous solutions [LiCl-water, LiSCN-LiBr-water, LiCl-$CaCl_2$-$Zn(NO_3)_2$-water] which was developed for only cooling, with conventional LiBr-water solution. It is found that the performances of the new aqueous solutions are better than that of LiBr-water solution not only in cooling systems, but also in heating systems. Theoretical thermodynamic performance data can be used in heat recovery systems by basic design data.

This study presents heat pump system characteristics using hydrocarbon refrigerants as alternative refrigerant for R-22 with respect to the variation of indoor load. Pure R-22 and R-290. R-600a, R-1270 were considered as working fluids The experimental apparatus was constructed to investigate the performance of heat pump using the air as a heat source. The performance were calculated based on compression shaft work. refrigeration capacity. pressure ratio, discharge temperature and COP. The experimental results show that the COP and refrigeration capacity of hydrocarbon refrigerants were higher than that of R-22. Through the above. hydrocarbon refrigerants are good alternatives in the heat pump system for R-22.
