액화 천연 가스는 도시가스로 공급되기 위해 기화의 과정을 거치는데 이 때 약 800 kJ/kg의 냉열이 발생한다. 현재 이 에너지는 모두 바다로 버려지고 있어 에너지 재순환 관점에서 보면 아주 심각한 에너지 낭비를 초래하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 점에 착안하여 버려지는 액화 천연 가스의 냉열을 활용할 수 있는 해수담수공정을 제안하고 이 공정을 최적화하여 고유 전력 소비와 경제성에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과 제안된 공정의 에너지 소모량은 -5.2 kWh/m³, 담수생산 단가는 0.148 USD/m³으로 계산되어 현재까지 개발된 어떤 공정보다도 우수함을 확인하였다.

A chiller cooler absorbs the thermal energy of water to generate cold water and supplies the generated cold water to a cold water pipe buried in the wall of a small mobile modular house to greatly increase the cooling area. An attempt was made to reduce the required cooling time significantly. A small chiller cooler suitable for the cooling load of a small mobile modular house with an area less than 3.3 m² was employed. When cooling is done during summer using a chiller cooler installed outdoors, heat absorption energy loss occurs in the cold water pipe owing to the high temperature. To address this, a study was conducted to reduce the endothermic energy loss significantly. As the mass flow rate of the cold water flowing inside the cold water pipe increased, the temperature decrease gradient of the cold water increased. From the start of the cooling operation, the air temperature of the small mobile modular house decreased linearly in proportion to the operation time. Furthermore, the temperature of the air inside the small mobile modular house decreased in proportion to the increase in the flow of water inside the cold water pipe.

Recently, the technologies to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have attracted significant attention. In this paper, thermodynamic performance analysis of combined cycles consisting of ammonia Rankine cycle (AWR) and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with LNG Rankine cycle to recover low-grade heat source and the cold energy of LNG. The mathematical models are developed and the effects of the important system parameters such as turbine inlet pressure, ammonia mass fraction, working fluid on the system performance are systematically investigated. The results show that the thermal efficiency of AWR-LNG cycle is higher but the total power production of ORC-LNG cycle is higher.

Cold-formed channel sections are used in a variety of applications in which they are required to absorb deformation energy. This paper investigates the collapse behaviour and energy absorption capability of cold-formed steel channels with flange edge stiffeners under large deformation major-axis bending. The Yield Line Mechanism technique is applied using the energy method, and based upon measured spatial plastic collapse mechanisms from experiments. Analytical solutions for the collapse curve and in-plane rotation capacity are developed, and used to model the large deformation behaviour and energy absorption. The analytical results are shown to compare well with experimental values. Due to the complexities of the yield line model of the collapse mechanism, a simplified procedure to calculate the energy absorbed by channel sections under large bending deformation is developed and also shown to compare well with the experiments.

The cold-air distribution system is expected as an efficient method to reduce energy consumption in the air-conditioning system. We introduced some control strategies for the system by summarizing some references in the view point of energy saving. Direct digital control is specially emphasized as an important control technique for the system. Some drawbacks which habe been conventionally mentioned to apply the cold-air distribution to real fields can be solved by using the technique. The control strategy which is introduced in here will be available to build control system for the air-conditioning based on the cold-air distribution for energy saving.

Argonne National Laboratory of the United States and Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology (KIPT) of Ukraine have cooperated on the development, design, and construction of a neutron source facility. The facility was constructed at Kharkov, Ukraine, and its commissioning process is underway. The facility will be used for researches, producing medical isotopes, and training young nuclear specialists. The neutron source facility is designed with a provision to include a cryogenically cooled moderator system-a cold neutron source (CNS). This CNS provides low-energy neutrons, which will be used in the scattering experiment and material structures analysis. Cold neutron guides, coated with reflective material for the low-energy neutrons, will be used to transport the cold neutrons to the experimental site. The cold neutron guides would keep the cold neutrons within certain energy and angular space concentrated inside, while most of the gamma rays and high-energy neutrons are not affected by the cold neutron guides. For the KIPT design, the cold neutron guides need to extend several meters outside the main shield of the facility, and curved guides will also be used to remove the gamma and high-energy neutron. The neutron guides should be installed inside a shield structure to ensure an acceptable biological dose in the facility hall. Heavy concrete is the selected shielding material because of its acceptable performance and cost. Shield design analysis was carried out for the CNS guide hall. MCNPX was used as the major computation tool for the design analysis, with neutron and gamma dose calculated separately. Weight windows variance reduction technique was also used in the shield design. The goal of the shield design is to keep the total radiation dose below the $5.0{\mu}Sv/hr$ guideline outside the shield boundary. After a series of iterative MCNPX calculations, the shield configuration and parameters of CNS guide hall were determined and presented in this article.

본 논문에서는 LNG 냉열 에너지를 활용한 지역 냉방 시스템 가능성에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 액상의 LNG는 기상의 가스로 변환하는 과정에서 많은 냉열 에너지를 발생한다. 최근에 빙축열을 이용한 건물의 냉방 시스템 구축과 심층수를 이용한 지역 냉방 시스템이 도심지의 기존 사무실 건물이나 대규모 건물의 냉방장치로 도입되고 있는 상황이다. LNG의 냉열 에너지는 기존의 냉매에 의존한 개별 냉방 시스템을 대체하는 새로운 냉열 에너지 공정으로 쾌적한 공간을 제공하는 천연의 대규모 냉각매체로 재사용될 수 있다. 버려지는 냉열 에너지는 낮은 코스트로 운영될 수 있는 중요한 청정 에너지원이기 때문에 냉방 시스템으로 개발되면, 기존의 에어콘 시스템에 견주어 볼 때 공기중에 유해한 오염원의 발생과 환경적으로 유해한 냉매 방출을 대폭적으로 줄일 수 있는 우수한 냉방 시스템이 될 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 냉열 에너지를 활용한 지역 냉방 시스템에 대한 환경 친화적 기본적 설계 개념, 여러 가지 냉방 시스템 성능에 대한 유익한 기반적 정보를 제공하고자 한다.

Hydrogen is bridge fuel with high energy content and environmentally friendly to satisfy the stringent IMO regulation relating to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is growing interest in hydrogen in numerous nations and regions illustrated by an extensive range of research and development in technology. Regarding maritime applications, researchers have recognized the utilization of hydrogen as a fuel for fuel cells, a device that converts the chemical energy of the fuel to electrical energy. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), with high working temperature, is easy to combine with the waste heat recovery cycles/devices to increase output power and thermodynamic performances as well. Furthermore, the cold energy from liquid hydrogen supplied to SOFC can also be used to generate more power. In this study, we proposed a SOFC integrated system with the idea of combining the waste heat recovery from the SOFC exhaust stream and cold energy utilization from LH₂. The designation is aimed to target small-scale vessel which uses electric propulsion for short distances voyage.

Since metallic foam will increase the performance of heat exchanger, it have caused many researcher's attention recently. Our research base on the model that metallic foams applied to heat exchanger. In this case, there is three kind of heat transfer mechanisms, heat conduction in fibers, heat transfer by conduction in fluid phase, and internal heat change between solid and fluid phases. In this paper we study both the hydraulic and thermal aspect performance. Pressure drop along air flow direction will be presented. As thermal aspect, we first discuss the acceptance of applying thermal equilibrium among the two phases. then to calculate the dimensionless temperature profile, the heat transfer coefficient and Nu number in 14 metallic foams(7 Aluminium foams, 7 FeCrAlY foams). All these discussion is based on the same velocity u=2 m/s.
