본 연구는 연소기체로부터 $CO_2$ 기체를 포집하는 기포 유동층 흡착 및 재생 반응기 공정의 주요 운전변수의 영향을 조사하기 위해서 단순화된 공정모델을 개발하였다. 반응속도와 반응기에서 고체입자의 평균체류시간을 이용하여 흡착탑과 재생탑에서 각 반응 전환율을 계산하였다. 실험실 규모 기포 유동층 공정에 적용하여 $CO_2$ 포집효율에 대한 온도, 기체유속, 고체순환속도, 연소기체 중 수분농도의 영향을 조사하였다. $CO_2$ 포집효율은 흡착탑의 온도 혹은 유속이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였다. 그러나 연소기체의 수분농도 혹은 재생탑의 온도가 증가함에 따라서 증가하였다. 계산된 $CO_2$ 포집효율은 측정값과 잘 일치하였다. 그러나 본 모델은 $CO_2$ 포집효율에 대한 고체순환속도의 영향과 잘 일치하지 않았다. 이의 해석을 위해서는 기체-고체 접촉효율에 대한 이해가 더 필요하였다.

해양온도차발전은 해양의 표층수와 심층수의 온도차를 이용하여 발전하는 유기랭킨사이클이다. 작동유체와 사이클 구성은 유기랭킨사이클의 열역학적 효율에 큰 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 작동유체와 사이클에 따른 해양온도차발전시스템의 성능분석을 수행하였다. 고전적인 단순 랭킨사이클과 단순 랭킨사이클의 대안으로 제시되고 있는 개방형 및 통합형 재생 랭킨사이클 그리고 칼리나 사이클이 본 연구에서 고려되었으며, 작동유체로는 9종의 단일냉매와 3종의 혼합냉매를 본 연구에 적용하였다. 사이클의 성능분석에는 핀치포인트온도차를 일정하게 유지하는 핀치포인트분석이 적용되었다. 성능분석결과를 살펴보면, 단순 랭킨사이클과 개방형 및 통합형 재생 랭킨사이클의 경우 RE245fa2를 작동유체로 사용하며, 칼리나 사이클의 경우 $NH_3/H_2O$의 질량비가 0.9:0.1일 때 열역학적 효율이 가장 높았다. 한편, 개방형 및 통합형 재생 랭킨사이클과 칼리나 사이클을 해양온도차발전시스템에 적용할 경우 단순 랭킨사이클과 비교하여 각각 약 2.0 %, 1.0%, 10.0%의 효율 향상을 기대할 수 있었다.

Stirling engine is a heat engine with a high potential efficiency, multi-fuel capability, its low emission, quiet operation, very low maintenance requirement and long life. The Stirling cycle can ideally achieve optimum thermodynamic efficiency of the Carnot cycle. But the actual efficiency of practical reciprocating Stirling engine is much less than that of ideal Stirling cycle due to several mechanical limits. This paper presents a new-type Stirling engine employing the scroll mechanism superior to the reciprocating Stirling engine. The new-type Stirling engine is characterized as traits of continuous and wholly seperated compression and expansion, one-way flow, direct cooling and heating through the extensive surfaces of scroll wraps. By means of this traits, the new-type Stirling engine can achieve thermodynamic cycle closer to the ideal Stirling cycle and have many mechanical merits. Also, the new-type Stirling cycle can be applied as Stirling refrigerator and Duplex Stirling machine.

This paper reviews the development status of magnetic refrigeration system for hydrogen liquefaction. There is no doubt that hydrogen is one of most important energy sources in the near future. In particular, liquid hydrogen can be utilized for infrastructure construction consisting of storage and transportation. Liquid hydrogen is in cryogenic temperatures and therefore high efficient liquefaction method must be studied. Magnetic refrigeration which uses the magneto-caloric effect has potential to realize not only the higher liquefaction efficiency > 50 %, but also to be environmentally friendly and cost effective. Our hydrogen magnetic refrigeration system consists of Carnot cycle for liquefaction stage and AMR (active magnetic regenerator) cycle for precooling stages. For the Carnot cycle, we develop the high efficient system > 80 % liquefaction efficiency by using the heat pipe. For the AMR cycle, we studied two kinds of displacer systems, which transferred the working fluid. We confirmed the AMR effect with the cooling temperature span of 12 K for 1.8 T of the magnetic field and 6 second of the cycle. By using the simulation, we estimate the total efficiency of the hydrogen liquefaction plant for 10 kg/day. A FOM of 0.47 is obtained in the magnetic refrigeration system operation temperature between 20 K and 77 K including LN2 work input.

Design of Reverse Stirling Cycle based refrigerator can be predicted by Schmidt theory as a useful tool and by experiment it is found that for practical purposes the power and efficiency predicted by this analysis are about 35% of the actual values. Therefore, appropriate provision is to be made for getting the realistic result with the minimum deviation. The present paper first investigates the suitability of application of Schmidt design analysis for standard ZIF-1002 and PLN-106 Single cylinder Cryogenerator model. As the result is found to be optimistic, the same design procedure is applied for the design of a separate Cryogenerator for generating a cooling effect which is sufficient to produce 7 kg per hour liquid nitrogen using an indigenous condenser of 80% effectiveness. The paper describes all the details of the design methodologies and relevant results are found to be satisfactory.

As regulations governing the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have become increasingly stringent in China, regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) have been more frequently applied in medium- and high-concentration VOCs treatments. However, due to the lack of existing RTO-related research, experience remains a dominant factor for industrial application. This paper thus aimed to establish a model for industrial RTOs, using a transient simulation method and thermal equilibrium model to simulate the internal velocities and temperature distributions of an RTO across multiple cycles. A comparison showed an error of less than 5% between most correlating simulated and experimental measurement points, verifying that the simulation method was accurate. After verification, the velocity and temperature fields inside the RTO were simulated to study the uniformity of temperature and velocity within the packed beds: both fields displayed high uniformity after gas flowed through the honeycomb regenerator. The effects of air volume, VOCs concentrations, and valve switching times on the oxidation chamber temperature, RTO outlet temperature, and thermal efficiency (as well as their averages) were studied. The VOCs removal rate in this study was constantly above 98%, and the average thermal efficiency reached 90%.

This paper describes generating efficiency characteristics of the double acting Stirling engine/generator for domestic small-scale CHP (Combined Heat and Power) system. In small distributed generation applications, Stirling engine has competition from fuel cell, microturbine and etc. In order to be economical in the applications, a long life with minimum maintenance is generally required. Free piston Stirling engine (FPSE) has no crank and rotating parts to generate lateral forces and require lubrication. Double acting Stirling engine/generator has one displacer and two power piston which are supported by flexure springs. Two power pistons oscillate with symmetric displacement and are connected with moving magnet type linear generators for power generation from PV work. In experiments, 1 kW class double acting free piston Stirling engine/generator is fabricated and tested. Heat is supplied to hot end of engine by the combustion of natural gas and converted to electric power by linear generators which are assembled with power pistons. The electric parameters such as voltage, current and phase are measured with for variable flow rate of fuel gas. Especially, generating efficiency of FPSE is measured with three different measurement methods. Generating efficiency of the double acting Stirling engine/alternator is about 24%.

Increasing emission of $CO_2$ significantly effects the global warming. Chemical absorption is one of separation methods of $CO_2$ from the industrial flue gases. In this study, the $CO_2$ removal efficiency as well as the $CO_2$ absorption amount of aqueous AMP (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) solutions were measured using the continuous absorption and regeneration apparatus. We investigated the effect of aqueous AMP+AEPD(2-amino-2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol) and AMP+TIPA (triisopropanolamine) solutions to enhance absorption characteristics of AMP. As a result of this study, the absorption amount and $CO_2$ removal efficiency were increased with adding TIPA into 30 wt.% AMP. The absorption amount and $CO_2$ removal efficiency of aqueous 30 wt.% AMP+5 wt.% TIPA solution were $1.70\;kg-CO_2/kg-absorbent$ and 91.1%, while those of aqueous 30 wt.% AMP solution were $1.58\;kg-CO_2/kg-absorbent$ and 89.3%. In addition, aqueous 30 wt.% AMP+5 wt.% TIPA solution used in the study revealed the high stripping efficiency, which was almost 98%, at the temperature of $110^{\circ}C$. Thus, the temperature of regenerator should be operated at $110^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, the performance analysis for evaporation capacity, total work and efficiency of the ocean thermal energy conversion(OTEC) power system using mixed refrigerant(R32,R152a) is conducted to find the effect of hot wasted water on OTEC power system. The system in this study is applied with two stage turbine, regenerator, cooler and separator on Organic Rankine Cycle. The commercial program HYSYS is used for the performance analysis. The main results were summarized as follows : The efficiency of the OTEC power cycle has a largely effect on the evaporation capacity and total work. As increasing temperature of heat source water, evaporator's capacity is decreased but total work increase. Otherwise, using hot wasted water bring effects not only increasing system efficiency but also declining evaporator's capacity. Thus With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to find way to use hot wasted water emitted by power plant and so on.

In order to reduce the compression power and to use the overall energy contained in LNG effectively, a combined cycle is devised and simulated. The combined cycle is composed of two cycles; one is an open cycle of liquid/solid carbon dioxide production cycle utilizing LNG cold energy in $CO_2$ condenser and the other is a closed cycle gas turbine which supplies power to the $CO_2$ cycle, utilizes LNG cold energy for lowering the compressor inlet temperature, and uses the heating value of LNG at the burner. The power consumed for the $CO_2$ cycle is investigated in terms of a solid $CO_2$ production ratio. The present study shows that much reduction in both $CO_2$ compression power (only 35% of the power used in conventional dry ice production cycle) and $CO_2$ condenser pressure could be achieved by utilizing LNG cold energy and that high cycle efficiency (55.3% at maximum power condition) in the gas turbine could be accomplished with the adoption of compressor inlet cooling and regenerator. Exergy analysis shows that irreversibility in the combined cycle increases linearly as a solid $CO_2$ production ratio increases and most of the irreversibility occurs in the condenser and the heat exchanger for compressor inlet cooling. Hence, incoming LNG cold energy to the above components should be used more effectively.
