Solar energy has been experiencing renewed interest because of the recent economical crisis in Korea. Absorption cooling is one of the promising solar energy utilization technologies. In this study the dynamic performance of a solar driven absorption cooling machine(SDACM) was numerically investigated. The simulated machine is a commercially available water/LiBr single effect absorption chillers driven by hot water from solar collectors. The present study has been directed to investigate the dynamic behavior of a solar cooling system including an absorption chiller, solar collector, a hot water storage tank, fan coil units, and the air-conditioned space. The operation of the system was simulated for 9 hours in varying operation conditions. The variation of temperature and concentration in the system components, and that of heat transfer rates in the system were obtained. It was also found that the room temperature was maintained near the desired value by controlling the mass flow rate of hot water.

The three years Performance of a liquid type solar heating system has been determined for a system which has been determined for a system which has been operating continuously since 1976 in Seoul with no serious maintenance. A flat plate collector is used to transform incident solar radiation into thermal energy. This energy is stored if the form of sensible energy and used as needed to supply the space heating loads. An electric auxiliary heaters are provided to supply energy for space heating load when the energy in the storage tank is depleted. The ratio of useful collected solar heat divided by the total solar radiation on the collector was obtained about 84 per cent. It is also obtained the relation between ratio of solar collector area to the heating area and the ratio of useful collected solar energy to the heating load for the useful design data. A comparison between the measured and simulated results with the solar space heating system is described. Hour by hour simulation is made on unsteady state basis using the system parameters and meteorological data at the experiment site. The result of comparison turned out satisfactory for the solar heating system, though the simulation was formed somewhat higher than by experimental.

The new f-chart capable of estimating long-term thermal performance of solar space and water heating systems was developed. The system comprise a flat plate solar collector, heat exchanger, storage tank filled with water, auxiliary fuel fired heater, and a house structure. The information obtained from many simulations of solar heating systems has been used to develop this f-chart. Actual hourly meteorological data collected in Seoul, Daejeon, Kwangju and Daegu, Korea from 1979 to 1983 have been utilized in these simulations. The new f-equation is as follows: $$f=1.034Y_{-}0.0968X_{-}0.2235Y^2+0.0043X^2+0.0144Y^3$$. The system performance estimates obtained from the developed f-chart are in close agreement with the results of experiment.

To solve the problem that photovoltaic panels can not harvest electrical energy at a cloudy day and night, a floating solar thermoelectric generator (FSTEG, hereafter) is studied. The FSTEG is consisted of a dome shaped Fresnel lens to condense solar energy, a thermoelectric module connected with a heat sink to keep temperature difference, a floating system simulating a wavy ocean and an electrical circuit for energy storage. The dome shaped Fresnel lens was designed to have 29 prisms and its optical performance was evaluated outdoors under natural sunlight. Four thermoelectric modules were electrically connected and its performance was evaluated. The generated energy w as stored in a Li-ion battery by using a DC-DC step-up converter. For the application of ocean environment, the FSTEG was covered by the dome shaped Fresnel lens and sealed to float in a water-filled reservoir. The harvested energy shows a potential and a method that the FSTEG is suitable for the energy generation in the ocean environment.

본 연구에서는 실내로 유입되는 온기와 실내공기사이의 온도차 및 유입속도에 따라 발생되는 부력의 영향 및 실내로 유입된 온기의 혼합특성에 관한 열유동특성을 파악하였다. 혼합도의 정의로부터 임계속도($1.2{\sim}1.6m/s$)전 후로 기하학적영향에 대하여서 혼합과의 관계를 파악할 수 있었다. 그리고 축열표율과의 관계는 속도가 크고 기준온도차가 작을수록 부력의 영향을 적게 받아서 아네모스형, 베인형 모두 높은 축열효율을 나타냈다. 그리고 속도가 클 때는 베인형이 전반적으로 우수한 축열효율을 나타냈다. 따라서 유입속도에 의한 영향이 기준온도차에 의한 영향보다 지배적임을 알 수 있었다.

빙축열의 문제점인 물의 과냉각을 억제 또는 제거하기 위하여 고흡수성 고분자를 조핵제로 사용하는 방법이 고안되었다. 축열재인 물을 $25^{\circ}C$에서 $-12^{\circ}C$로 냉각시킨 결과 순수한 물의 경우 샘플중 25%의 샘플은 전혀 결빙되지 않았으며 나머지 얼음이 생성된 샘플의 경우도 평균 $9.8^{\circ}C$의 과냉각을 보인 반면, 조핵제가 첨가된 경우 35%가 전혀 과냉각을 보이지 않았으며 과냉각이 일어난 샘플의 평균과 냉각온도 역시 현저히 감소되었다. 0.5wt%의 고흡수성 고분자가 첨가된 축열재를 사용하여 캡슐타입으로 제작한 축열조에서 열전달 실험을 실시한 결과 과냉각은 전혀 관찰되지 않았으며 이로 인하여 순수물을 축열재로 사용하는 경우보다 축열속도가 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 고흡수성 고분자가 빙축열 시스템의 조핵제로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Heat transfer phenomena during inward melting process of the phase change material were studied experimentally. N-docosane paraffin [$C_{22}H_{46}$] is used for phase change material and its melting temperature is $42.5^{\circ}C$. Experiments were performed for melting of an initially no-sub cooled or subcooled solid in a horizontal cylinder, in order to compare and investigate the radial temperature distribution, ratio of melting and melted mass, various energy components stored from the cylinder wall, figure of the melting front in the horizontal cylinder. The solid-liquid interface motion during phase change was recorded photographically. The experimental results reaffirmed the dominant role played by the conduction at early stage, by the natural convection at longer time during inward melting in the horizontal cylinder. Ratio of melting and melted mass are more influenced by wall temperature, rather than by the initial temperature of solid. The latent energy is the largest contributor to the total stored energy.

In the former study, it is obtained that thermal storage effect of the apartment structure is the disadvantage to maintain comfort indoor thermal environment. However, because the thermal storage effect can be changed of its aspect in heating season, field measurement at the same apartment with the measurement in summer season was conducted in winter season. As results, thermal storage effect of apartment structure was the disadvantage in winter season, too.

This study presents an initial design for a novel system consisting in a coupled nuclear reactor and a phase change material-based thermal energy storage (TES) component, which acts as a buffer and regulator of heat transfer between the primary and secondary loops. The goal of this concept is to enhance the capacity factor of nuclear power plants (NPPs) in the case of high integration of renewable energy sources into the electric grid. Hence, this system could support in elevating the economics of NPPs in current competitive markets, especially with subsidized solar and wind energy sources, and relatively low oil and gas prices. Furthermore, utilizing a prismatic-core advanced high temperature reactor (PAHTR) cooled by a molten salt with a high melting point, have the potential in increasing the system efficiency due to its high operating temperature, and providing the baseline requirements for coupling other process heat applications. The present research studies the neutronics and thermal hydraulics (TH) of the PAHTR as well as TH calculations for the TES which consists of 300 blocks with a total heat storage capacity of 150 MWd. SERPENT Monte Carlo and MCNP5 codes carried out the neutronics analysis of the PAHTR which is sized to have a 5-year refueling cycle and rated power of 300 MW_th. The PAHTR has 10 metric tons of heavy metal with 19.75 wt% enriched UO₂ TRISO fuel, a hot clean excess reactivity and shutdown margin of $33.70 and -$115.68; respectively, negative temperature feedback coefficients, and an axial flux peaking factor of 1.68. Star-CCM + code predicted the correct convective heat transfer coefficient variations for both the reactor and the storage. TH analysis results show that the flow in the primary loop (in the reactor and TES) remains in the developing mixed convection regime while it reaches a fully developed flow in the secondary loop.

본 연구는 용융된 파라핀을 채운 수직원관 내의 상변화물질의 초기온도와 수직원관의 벽면온도를 변화시켰을때 관 내에서 일어나는 열전달현상을 다루었다. 자연대류의 효과는 초기과열된 액상영역 내에서 응고초기 짧은 시간에 걸쳐 일어났고, 그 후 전도열전달이 paraffin 전 영역을 지배하였다. 실험에서 관찰한 응고 형태는 상부표면에서 밀도 증가에 의한 수축공간이 발생하였으며, 그 공간의 크기는 냉각이 진행됨에 따라 증가하였다. 자연대류가 끝나자. 상경계면 상에서 수지상 결정과 mush-zone이 발견되었다. 액상 paraffin의 초기과열은 실험 전반부의 응고질량과 응고두께를 감소시키는 경향을 보였으며, 초기액상과열도와 벽면 과냉도가 큰 경우에 크게 나타났다.
