thermodynamic cycle analysis has been performed for the power generation systems to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The power cycle used the air or water at room temperature as a heat source and the LNG at cryogenic temperature as a heat sink. Among manypossible configurations of the cycle. the open Rankine cycle. and the closed Brayton cycle, and the closed Rankine cycle are selected for the basic analysis because of their practical importance. The power output per unit mass of LNG has been analytically calculated for various design parameters such as the pressure ratio. the mass flow rate. the adiabatic efficiency. the heat exchanger effectiveness. or the working fluid. The optimal conditions for the parameters are presented to maximize the power output and the design considerations are discussed. It is concluded that the open Rankine cycle is the most recormmendable both in thermodynamic efficency and in practice.

A performance simulator for the fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV) is developed to evaluate the potentials of hybridization for fuel cell electric vehicle. Dynamic models of FCHEV's electric powertrain components such as fuel cell stack, battery, traction motor, DC/DC converter, etc. are obtained by modular approach using MATLAB SIMULINK. In addition, a thermodynamic model of the fuel cell is introduced using bondgraph to investigate the temperature effect on the vehicle performance. It is found from the simulation results that the hybridization of fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) provides better hydrogen fuel economy especially in the city driving owing to the braking energy recuperation and relatively high efficiency operation of the fuel cell. It is also found from the thermodynamic simulation of the FCEV that the fuel economy and acceleration performance are affected by the temperature due to the relatively low efficiency and reduced output power of the fuel cell stack at low temperature.

Thermodynamic modeling of low-pressure scroll compressor was developed by combining continuity and energy conservation equation. Suction gas heating was considered using energy balance inside the low pressure shell. Pressure, temperature and mass of refrigerant-22 as a function of orbiting angle were calculated by solving the governing equations using fourth order Rung-Kutta scheme. Motor efficiency was taken by experiments with a variation of frequency. The developed model was applied to the analysis of an inverter driven scroll compressor with a variation of frequency, pressure ratio and operating conditions. The model was verified with the experimental results at the same operating conditions. The developed model was adequate to predict performance of the inverter driven scroll compressor as a function of operating conditions. Calculated parameters from the model were discharge temperature, mass flow rate, power input, COP, and thermodynamic properties with respect to orbiting angle. To enhance the performance of a scroll compressor, it is essential to diminish leakage at low frequency level and improve the mechanical efficiency at high frequency level.

The thermodynamic properties of R134a, the prospective R12 alternative, have been computerized using Martin-Hou equation of state and the coefficients given by Willson-Basu. Several experimental results in literatures for PVT data, saturated vapor pressure, saturated liquid density are compared with the calculated results to investigate the accuracy. The average deviation (max. deviation) is 0.13% (0.25%) for saturated liquid density, 0.25% (0.8%) for PVT data. Thermodynamic properties, enthalpy, entropy are compared with the NIST's. The maximum percent difference is 3% for saturated liquid enthalpy, 1.5% for saturated vapor enthalpy, 4% saturated liquid entropy, and 0.7% for saturated vapor entropy. Correction of W-B's coefficients and inclusion of the sixth term of M-H EOS for improvement of accuracy are recommended. R134a and R12 are compared with respect to refrigeration performance. COP's are different from each other within 3%. Refrigeration effect of R134a is superior to that of R12 but refrigeration capacity of R134a is inferior to that of R12 because the volumetric efficiency of the system using R134a is lower than that of the system using R12.

본 연구에서는 국내 부존 바나듐 광물인 포천 지역의 바나듐 함유 함티탄철석(VTM: Vanadium-bearing titaniferous magnetite)을 대상으로 하여, 바나듐 회수를 위한 황화 배소 반응의 열역학적 평가를 수행하였다. Na₂SO₄를 이용하여 황화 배소를 진행하는 경우, 배소조건에 따른 배소 후 바나듐 및 불순물의 수침출 거동을 평가하고, 황화 배소 반응에 대한 메커니즘 규명을 위하여 열역학적 평가를 수행하였다. Na₂SO₄를 이용한 황화 배소의 경우 Na₂CO₃를 이용한 염배소 공정과 비교하여 반응 온도는 200 ℃ 정도 높았지만 바나듐 침출률이 높고 Al, Si 등의 불순물에 대한 낮은 침출률을 보였다. 바나듐만 선택적으로 수침출되는 황화 배소 반응의 특징은 기상의 SO₂ 가스와 정광내 바나듐간의 반응에 따른 반응 메커니즘에 기인하는 것으로 예상되었다.

The thermodynamic performance of the electrochemical hydrogen compressor was analyzed to perform a comparative analysis with the performance of the mechanical compressor. The performance was analyzed through the applied current and the measured voltage value. The test results showed that the efficiency of the electrochemical hydrogen compressor was high in the low current density range. In addition, it was confirmed that the amount of increasing compress work of the electrochemical hydrogen compressor is smaller than that of the mechanical compressor. Therefore, it is expected to have higher efficiency than mechanical compression when compressed with a sufficiently high-pressure range.

주어진 열원에서 유기 랭킨 사이클 시스템을 통해 얻을 수 있는 최대 출력 조건에서의 최적 효율을 구하기 위한 이론식을 유도하였으며, 이것이 작동 유체의 열물성치에 의한 엔탈피를 기초로 하여 계산된 열효율과 비교하여 잘 일치되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 유도된 결과식에 의해 최대 출력은 열원의 열용량과 초기 온도 그리고 핀치점 온도차만의 함수임을 알 수 있었으며, 이 때의 효율은 열원의 열용량과 관계없이 입열원과 방출열원 초기 온도와 핀치점 온도차의 함수임을 알 수 있었다. 여기서 구한 최대 출력시의 효율식은 실제 랭킨 사이클 시스템의 설계를 위한 최적 설계지표로 사용될 수 있으며 실제 발전소의 성능 예측을 위한 최적 효율로도 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

For the past few years, the concern for clean energy has been greatly increased. Ocean thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) power plants are studied as a viable option for the supply of clean energy. In this study, we examined the thermodynamic performance of the OTEC power system for the production of electric power. Computer simulation programs were developed under the same condition and various working fluids for closed Rankine cycle, regenerative cycle, Kalina cycle, open cycle, and hybrid cycle. The results show that the regenerative cycle showed the best system efficiency. And then we examined the thermodynamic performance of regenerative cycle OTEC power system using the condenser effluent from Uljin nuclear power plant instead of the surface water. The highest system efficiency of the condition was 4.55% and the highest net power was 181 MW.

Recently, manganese nodule has been focused on alternative resources because of its high grade of noble metallic elements such as Co, Ni, and Cu etc. From the viewpoint of an optimization the operating variables for energy efficiency of smelting reduction process, thermodynamic model for smelting reduction process of Manganese nodule was developed by using energy and material balance concept. This model provided that specific consumption of pure oxygen and coke was strongly depended on post combustion ratio (PCR) and heat transfer efficiency (HTE). The dressing and dehydrating process of low grade manganese can be proposed an essential process to minimize the specific energy consumption with decreasing slag volume. The effect of electricity coal base smelting reduction process was also discussed from the energy optimizing point of view.

본 연구는 수소제조를 위한 디메틸에테르 수증기 개질반응에 대한 열역학적 특성 분석을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 온도(300~1500 K), 반응물 조성비(Steam/Carbon ratio = 1~7), 압력(1, 5, 10 기압) 등의 다양한 반응조건을 변화시키면서 열역학적 평형조성 및 효율 등을 조사하였다. 주어진 조건하에서 흡열반응인 개질반응과 발열반응인 수성가스 전환반응 및 메탄화반응간 경쟁특성을 확인하였으며, 반응온도 400 K를 지나면서 수소발생이 관찰되어 550 K를 지나면서 급격한 발생량의 증가를 확인하였다. 반응물 가운데 수증기의 비율을 증가시킬 경우 수성가스 전환반응이 촉진되어 일산화탄소 저감 및 수소발생 증가 거동을 나타내었다. 결과적으로 열역학적 효율감소를 최소화 하면서 수소발생량을 극대화 할 수 있는 조건은 반응온도 900 K 및 수증기 대 탄소간 비율이 3.0 이내의 범위에 해당하는 것으로 판단된다.
