It has recently been reported that methanol fuel has been used in the product carrier with established duel fuel engine, which has been greatly reducing emissions of $CO_2$, NOx and SOx from the engine. However, to use methanol alone as fuel oil in a general diesel engine, design modification of cylinder head is needed because the ignition aid device or the duel fuel injection system is needed. On the other hand, only if the mixer is installed on the fuel oil supply line, diesel oil - methanol blending oil can be used as fuel oil for the diesel engine, but there is a problem of the phase separation when two fuels are mixed. In this study, diesel oil and methanol were blended compulsorily in preventing the phase separation with installing agitators and a fuel oil boost pump on fuel line of a test engine. Also, cylinder pressure and fuel consumption quantity were measured according to engine load and methanol blending ratio, and indicated mean effective pressure, heat release rate and combustion temperature obtained from the single zone combustion model were analyzed to investigate the effects of latent heat of vaporization of methanol on combustion stability and characteristics. As a result, the combustion stability and characteristics of 10% methanol blending oil are closest to the those of diesel oil, and it could be used as fuel oil in existing diesel engines without deterioration of engine performance and combustion characteristics.

A fleet consists of a main vessel, light vessels and carrying vessels for purse seine fishery. Carrying vessels contains fish storages to maintain freshness of catches. Currently most carrying vessels applies the cooling system using plain ice though accompanied various shortcomings. Seawater cooling system directly chilling seawater are now in use on carrying vessels in some developed countries to make up for these shortcomings and maximize advantages. This research deals with necessity of seawater cooling systems and establishes system criteria using Aspentech HYSYS program, prior to an experiment of compact-scale seawater cooling system which now in progress of manufacture. Performance comparison on condensation capacity, mass flow rate of working fluid, compressor power input, pump power input and others of the seawater cooling system applying a flooded evaporator is conducted with respect to the temperature of surface seawater varying according to seasons. The result presents that mass flow rate circulating the system is increased about 16.7% as the temperature of surface seawater increases. At the same condition, condensation capacity and compressor input work also increase about 9.8% and 91.2%, respectively.

To cool down a nuclear reactor core and prevent the fuel damage without a pump-driven active component during any anticipated accident, the passive emergency core cooling system (PECCS) was designed and adopted in an advanced light water reactor, i-POWER. In this study, for a validation of the cooling capability of PECCS, thermal-hydraulic integral effect tests were performed with the ATLAS facility by simulating intermediate and small break loss-of-coolant accidents (IBLOCA and SBLOCA). The test result showed that PECCS could effectively depressurize the reactor coolant system by supplying the safety injection water from the safety injection tanks (SITs). The result pointed out that the safety injection from IRWST should have been activated earlier to inhibit the excessive core heat-up. The sequence of the PECCS injection and the major thermal hydraulic transient during the SBLOCA transient was similar to the result of the IBLOCA test with the equivalent PECCS condition. The test data can be used to evaluate the capability of thermal hydraulic safety analysis codes in predicting IBLOCA and SBLOCA transients under an operation of passive safety system.

본 연구에서는 수직형 지중 열교환기의 3차원 CFD 해석 기법을 제안하여 2개소의 현장 열응답 시험과 비교하였다. CFD 해석 비교를 위해 GAMBIT을 이용하여 지중과 지중 열교환기 형상을 모델링하였으며, 상용코드인 FLUENT를 사용하여 3차원 열전달 유동 해석을 수행하였다. 2개소의 현장 열응답 시험에서 도출된 지중 유효 열전도도와 지중 초기온도를 경계조건으로 사용하였으며, 시간에 따른 지중 열교환기의 입구온도 변화는 profile을 사용하여 실제 조건을 모사하였다. CFD 해석 결과 2개소의 지중 열교환기 출구온도는 $0.5^{\circ}C$ 범위 내에서 예측하였고, 기울기는 1.6% 이내에서 적절히 예측하였다. 향후 CFD 해석 기법을 활용하여 지중 열교환기 깊이, 형상 및 배열 변화 등에 따른 성능예측에 활용하고자 한다.

Ground-coupled heat pump systems have been widely used, as they are regarded as a renewable energy source and ensure a high annual efficiency. Among the system components, borehole heat exchangers (BHE) play an important role in decreasing the entering water temperature (EWT) to heat pumps in the cooling season, and consequently improve the COP. The optimal sizing of the BHEs is crucial for a successful project. Other than the existing sizing methods, a simulation-based design tool is more applicable for modern complex geothermal systems, and it may also be useful since design and engineering works operate on the same platform. A simulation-based sizing method is proposed in this study using the well-known Duct STorage (DST) model in Trnsys. TRNOPT, the Trnsys optimization tool, is used to search for an optimal value of the length of BHEs under given ground loads and ground properties. The result shows that a maximum EWT of BHEs during a design period (10 years) successfully approaches the design EWT while providing an optimal BHE length. Compared to the existing design tool, very similar lengths are calculated by both methods with a small error of 1.07%.

A fundamental study on the harvest-type ice storage system applied ice making method in-water and its temperature characteristics in ice storage system was performed experimentally of the charge and discharge of cold. This paper is concerned with the development of a new method for making and separating ice and saving floated ice by installing an evaporation plate at in-water within a storage tank. In a conventional harvest-type ice storage system, a tank saves ice by separating a formed ice from an installed evaporation plate, which is located above an ice storage tank as an ice storage system. A new harvest-type method shows very good heat transfer efficiency than a convectional method. It is because the evaporation panel is directly contacted with water in a storage tank. Also, at a conventional system a circulating pump, a circulating water distributor and a piping are installed, but these components are not necessary in a new method. In this study two kinds of ice storage systems are experimentally investigated to study the thermal characteristics of ice storage tanks.

This work discusses the numerical analysis, the design and experimental test of the SMA actuator along with its capabilities and limitations. Convective heating and cooling using water actuate the SMA(Shape memory alloy) element of the actuator. The fuel such as propane, having a high energy density, is used as the energy source for the SMA actuator in order to increase power and energy density of the system, and thus in order to obviate the need for electrical power supplies such as batteries. The system is composed of a pump, valves, bellows, a heater(burner), control unit and a displacement amplification device. The experimental test of the SMA actuator system results in 150 MPa stress(force : 1560 N) with $3\%$ strain and 0.5 Hz. actuation frequency. The actuation frequency is compared with the prediction obtained from numerical analysis. For the designed SMA actuator system, the results of numerical analysis were utilized in determining design parameters and operating conditions.

본 논문에서는 동반논문에서 구축된 수치해석 모델을 이용하여 SCW의 성능을 평가하기 위한 매개변수연구를 수행하였다. 매개변수연구에는 공극률, 투수계수, 열전도도, 비열, 지열경사 등 5개의 지반환경변수와 유량, 심정심도, 심정직경, 유입관 직경, 블리딩율의 설계변수가 적용되었다. 수치해석은 24시간 연속가동과 가동 중지를 반복하는 14일간의 가동 두 가지로 수행되었다. 해석결과 SCW 성능에 중요한 영향을 미치는 변수는 열전도도, 수리전도도, 지열경사, 유량, 심정 심도, 블리딩율인 것으로 나타났다. 열전도도가 높을수록 SCW의 효율이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 지열경사가 클수록 심정 저부의 온도가 증가하여 난방모드에서는 효율이 향상되지만, 냉방모드에서는 유입수의 온도가 증가하여 오히려 효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 수리전도도도는 $10^{-4}m/s$ 이상일 경우에는 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으나 $10^{-6}m/s$ 이하에서는 영향이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 심정심도가 증가할수록 SCW의 효율이 향상되는 것으로 나타났지만 심정심도를 높일수록 시공비가 증가하게 된다. 블리딩을 적용하며 추가적인 비용 없이 심정온도를 조절할 수 있으며 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 매우 효과적인 방법인 것으로 나타났다. 단, 블리딩은 유출수를 배출할 공간이 확보되며 지하수량이 풍부한 경우에만 적용할 수 있다. 본 매개변수 연구결과, SCW의 성능에 영향을 미치는 요소는 매우 다양하며 이들의 복합적인 영향을 정확하게 규명하기 위해서는 수치적 모델을 수행해야 할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
