The presence of non-condensable gases as an additional thermal resistance inside a refrigerating circuit has been found for a general refrigerator, The effect of non-condensable gases was varied by controlling the injection amount of dry air into the refrigerating circuit to increase a thermal resistance. Energy consumption tests for the refrigerator were conducted under the various amounts of non-condensable gases. The tested refrigerating circuit was the household refrigerator. As the molar fraction of non-condensable gases was increased from 0% to 1.46%, the amount of energy consumption was found to increase up to 25%. The increase of the amount of non-condensable gases in refrigerating circuit was found to result in increasing the condensation temperature at the condenser and decreasing the evaporation temperature at the evaporator, which were presumably caused by the low specific heat and increased partial pressure of non-condensable gas.

모든 액체는 소량의 기체성분들이 녹아있으며, 액체에 용해되는 기체의 양은 액체에 작용하는 주위압력에 기여하는 각 기체성분의 분압에 비례한다는 헨리의 법칙을 따른다. 따라서 다단증발식 해수담수화설비의 경우, 각 증발단의 운전온도와 압력은 다르며, 이 운전조건에 비례하여 해수에 용해되어 있던 기체들이 증발과정에서 방출되는데 주성분은 불응축기체인 이산화탄소, 질소, 산소 및 아르곤이다. 대류열전달의 입장에서는 불응축기체는 증발증기를 응축시키는 냉각기의 성능을 저하시키는 주요한 원인이기 때문에 증발과정에서 방출되는 불응축기체의 평가는 증발식 해수담수화설비에서 중요한 설계인자 중의 한가지이다. 증발식 해수담수화공정의 경우, 대부분의 증발기는 진공압력으로 유지되기 때문에 진공유지장치의 설계를 위해서는 증발과정에서 해수로부터 방출되는 불응축기체의 방출량을 평가하는 것이 매우 중요다. 본 연구는 불응축기체의 방출량을 정량적으로 계산하기 위해 수행하였으며, 연구결과에 따르면 불응축가스의 방출량은 후단으로 갈수록 감소하며, 담수생산량에 비례함을 알 수 있었다.

급속열분해를 통한 바이오-오일 생산 공정은 무산소 조건에서 바이오매스를 급속열분해하여 얻어진 열분해가스를 급속 냉각 시켜 열분해오일을 생산한다. 이에 공정 내부의 산소 농도를 0 ~ 3% 이하로 유지하기 위해 캐리어 가스로 질소를 사용한다. 그러나 공정의 규모가 커질수록 질소의 사용량이 증가하고, 이는 공정 운전비용 증감 및 지속적인 질소 가스 충전을 위한 설비비 증감 할 수밖에 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 팜 부산물 열분해에서 질소 사용량 감소를 위해 미응축가스 재순환 공정을 적용하여, 가스재순환율에 따른 질소 사용량과 미응축가스의 가연성 성분의 농도 변화를 측정하고 이에 따른 바이오-오일의 품질 수율 변화를 측정하여 가스재순환 공정의 활용 가능성을 연구하였다.

The present work pertains to a research program to study Molten Fuel-Coolant Interactions (MFCI), which may occur in a nuclear power plant during a hypothetical severe accident. Dynamics of the hot liquid (melt) droplet and the volatile liquid (coolant) were investigated in the MISTEE (Micro-Interactions in Steam Explosion Experiments) facility by performing well-controlled, externally triggered, single-droplet experiments, using a high-speed visualization system with synchronized digital cinematography and continuous X-ray radiography. The current study is concerned with the MISTEE-NCG test campaign, in which a considerable amount of non-condensable gases (NCG) are present in the film that enfolds the molten droplet. The SHARP images for the MISTEE-NCG tests were analyzed and special attention was given to the morphology (aspect ratio) and dynamics of the air/ vapor bubble, as well as the melt drop preconditioning. Energetics of the vapor explosion (conversion ratio) were also evaluated. The MISTEE-NCG tests showed two main aspects when compared to the MISTEE test series (without entrapped air). First, analysis showed that the melt preconditioning still strongly depends on the coolant subcooling. Second, in respect to the energetics, the tests consistently showed a reduced conversion ratio compared to that of the MISTEE test series.

Particulate matter (PM) emitted from fossil fuel-combustion facilities can be classified as either filterable or condensable PM. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defined condensable PM as material that is in the phase of vapor at the stack temperature of the sampling location which condenses, reacts upon cooling and dilution in the ambient air to form solid or liquid in a few second after the discharge from the stack. Condensable PM passed through the filter media and it is typically ignored. But condensable PM was defined as a component of primary PM. This study investigates the change of condensable PM according to the variation in the sulfur dioxide of combustion gas. Domestic oil boilers were used as the source of emission ($SO_2$) and the level of $SO_2$ concentration (0, 50, 80, and 120 ppm) was adjusted by diluting general light oil and marine gas oil (MGO) that contains sulfur less than 0.5%. Condensable PM was measured as 2.72, 6.10, 8.38, and $13.34mg/m^3$ when $SO_2$ concentration in combustion gas were 0, 50, 80, and 120 ppm respectively. The condensable PM tended to increase as the concentration of $SO_2$ increased. Some of the gaseous air pollutants emitted from the stack should be considered precursors of condensable PM. The gas phase pollutants which converted into condensable PM should reduced for condensable PM control.

The wall film-wise condensation plays an important role in the heat transfer processes of heat exchangers, refrigerators, and air conditioner. In the field of nuclear engineering, steam condensation is often utilized in safety systems to remove the core decay heat under both transient and accident conditions. In particular, passive containment cooling system (PCCS), are designed to ensure containment safety under severe accident conditions. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) scale analysis has been conducted to calculate the heat transfer rate of the PCCS. However, despite the increase in computing power, there are challenges in the long-term transient simulation of containment using CFD scale codes. In this study, a heat structure coupling between the CFD and system analysis codes was performed to efficiently analyze PCCS. In addition, the component unstructured program for interfacial dynamics (CUPID) was improved to analyze the condensation behavior of ternary gas mixtures. Thereafter, the condensation heat transfer on the primary side was calculated using the improved CUPID and CFD code, whereas that on the secondary side was simulated using MARS. Both the coupled codes were validated against the CONAN facility database. Finally, conjugate heat transfer simulations with wall condensation in the presence of non-condensable gases were appropriately performed.

최근 에너지 효율이 높은 공정기술의 수요가 증가하면서 분리막을 이용한 기체분리가 많은 연구자들의 관심을 모으고 있다. 현재 분리막에 의한 기체 분리 시장은 고분자막이 독점하고 있으며 탄화수소와 같은 응축기체 분리시장이 휠씬 큼에도 불구하고 주로 비응축 기체분리에 제한되고 있다. 이는 고분자 재료의 물성에 한계가 있기 때문이다. 제올라이트막이나 제올라이트/고분자 복합막이 제올라이트의 우수한 분리력과 화학적/열적 특성으로 인해 고분자막의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 대안이 될 수 있다. 이번 총설에서는 이러한 기체분리를 위한 제올라이트막과 제올라이트/고분자 복합막에 대해 간략히 소개하고자 한다.

MOF 재료는 금속 이온과 유기 리간드가 결합하여 형성하는 결정성 나노 기공 구조로, 높은 비표면적과 기공 구조 제어, 기능성 부여가 가능해 분리막 재료로 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 총설에서는 다양한 MOF 분리막의 합성 방법과 MOF 분리막을 통한 기체 분리 응용에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The practical route for disposal of sewage sludge becomes energy recovery by combustion after its ocean dumping is banned in 2012 in Korea. Due to the high moisture content, however, sewage sludge is required to be dried before transport and combustion. In this study, pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of dried sewage sludge was investigated in a small-scale fixed bed reactor in order to provide fundamental data for energy recovery of the fuel. As the first step of combustion, the primary products of pyrolysis were analyzed in a fixed bed reactor for the condensable volatiles (tar), non-condensable gases, and char. For the combustion characteristics, another fixed bed reactor was constructed to monitor the weight and temperature of the fuel particles during ignition and combustion under different air flow rates. The test results were used to derive the ignition and burning rates.

In this paper, from a review of the size distribution of the bubbles during pool scrubbing obtained from experiments by EPRI, we apply the bubble size distributions to analyses on the decontamination factors of pool scrubbing via I-COSTA (In-Containment Source Term Analysis). We perform sensitivity studies of the bubble size on the various mechanisms of deposition of aerosol particles in pool scrubbing. We also perform sensitivity studies on the size distributions of the bubbles depending on the diameters at the nozzle exit, the molecular weights of non-condensable gases in the carrier gases, and the steam fractions of the carrier gases. We then perform analyses of LACE-ESPANA experiments and compare the numerical ~ results to those from SPARC-90 and experimental results in order to show the effect of the bubble size distributions.
