Low-grade waste heat has generally been discarded in industry due to lack of efficient recovery methods. In recent years, organic Rankine cycle(ORC) has become a field of intense research and appears as a promising technology for conversion of heat into useful work of electricity. In this work thermodynamic performance of ORC with superheating of vapor is comparatively assessed for various working fluids. Special attention is paid to the effects of system parameters such as the evaporating temperature on the characteristics of the system such as maximum possible work extraction from the given source, volumetric flow rate per 1 kW of net work and quality of the working fluid at turbine exit as well as thermal efficiency.

This research presents an innovative integrated ethanol solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system designed for applications in marine vessels. The system incorporates an exhaust gas heat recovery mechanism. The high-temperature exhaust gas produced by the SOFC is efficiently recovered through a sequential process involving a gas turbine (GT), a regenerative system, steam Rankine cycles, and a waste heat boiler (WHB). A comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of this integrated SOFC-GT-SRC-WHB system was performed. A simulation of this proposed system was conducted using Aspen Hysys V12.1, and a genetic algorithm was employed to optimize the system parameters. Thermodynamic equations based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics were utilized to assess the system's performance. Additionally, the exergy destruction within the crucial system components was examined. The system is projected to achieve an energy efficiency of 58.44% and an exergy efficiency of 29.43%. Notably, the integrated high-temperature exhaust gas recovery systems contribute significantly, generating 1129.1 kW, which accounts for 22.9% of the total power generated. Furthermore, the waste heat boiler was designed to produce 900.8 kg/h of superheated vapor at 170 ℃ and 405 kP a, serving various onboard ship purposes, such as heating fuel oil and accommodations for seafarers and equipment.

최근 늘어가는 에너지 수요를 화석연료에만 의존 할 수 없게 되면서 대체 에너지의 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, 이러한 상황에서 유기랭킨 사이클(Organic Rankine Cycle, 이하 ORC)등 산업체 폐열, 태양열, 지열, 해수 온도차 등의 저등급 에너지를 효과적으로 활용하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지역난방 축열시 회수수를 혼합하지 않고 ORC를 이용하여 하부사이클을 구성하여 성능해석 상용프로그램으로 작동유체 및 운전특성을 예측하였다. 지역난방수 운전조건인 열원 온도 $120^{\circ}C$, 열원 유량 $163m^3/h$(회수수 유량을 고려한 값)로 하고 이 온도에 적합한 다수의 작동유체를 선정하여 성능해석을 수행하였으며, 최고의 성능이 나타난 R245fa의 경우 269.2kW출력과 6.37%효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 ORC 시스템의 응축기 압력변화에 따라 지역난방 회수수 온도가 $57.3{\sim}85^{\circ}C$범위에 형성됨으로서 보일러 입구온도상승에 따른 연료 절감 효과가 예상되었다.

Maritime transportation is going to transfer to alternative fuels as a result of the worldwide demands toward decarbonization and tougher maritime emissions regulations. Methanol is considered as a potential marine fuel, which has the ability to reduce SOx and CO₂ emissions, reduce climate change effects, and achieve the objective of green shipping. This work proposes and combines the innovative combination system of direct methanol solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), gas turbines (GT), and organic Rankine cycles (ORC) for maritime vessels. The system's primary power source is the SOFC, while the GT and PEMFC use the waste heat from the SOFC to generate useful power and improve the system's ability to use waste heat. Each component's thermodynamics model and the combined system's model are established and examined. The multigeneration system's energy and exergy efficiency are 76.2% and 30.3%, respectively. When compared to a SOFC stand-alone system, the energy efficiency of the GT and PEMFC system is increased by 19.2%. The use of PEMFC linked SOFC has significant efficiency when a ship is being started or maneuvered and a quick response from the power and propulsion plant is required.

선박의 주 추진용 디젤엔진으로부터 배출되는 배기가스의 열을 회수하는 폐열회수 발전시스템에 대하여, 상대적으로 고온에 상부의 3 변 사이클과 상대적으로 저온부에 하부의 유기 랭킨 사이클이 적용되는 복합 사이클에 대한 열역학적 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 상부와 하부 사이클 사이에 경계온도의 증가에 따라, 총 파괴된 엑서지율(${\sum}\dot{E}_d$) 및 엑서지 손실율($\dot{E}_{out2}$)이 각각 감소되었기 때문에, 시스템의 에너지 및 엑서지 효율이 모두 최대화되었다. 그리고 상부의 체적 팽창비가 크게 감소되었다. 그 경우에 대하여, 부가적인 추진동력으로써 활용되는 폐열회수 발전시스템이 적용된 선박용 디젤엔진의 경우에, 추진 효율은 엔진부하 변동에 따라 기본 엔진에 대비하여 평균적으로 9.17 %가 향상되었다. 이에 대하여, 디젤엔진의 연료 소비율과 이산화탄소 배출률은 각각 평균 8.4 및 8.37 %가 저감되었다.

This work examines the most viable nuclear technology options for future underwater designs that would meet high safety standards as well as good economic potential, for construction in the 2030-2040 timeframe. The top five concepts selected from a survey of 13 nuclear technologies were compared to a small modular pressurized water reactor (PWR) designed with a conventional layout. In order of smallest to largest primary system size where the reactor and all safety systems are contained, the top five designs were: (1) a lead-bismuth fast reactor based on the Russian SVBR-100; (2) a novel organic cooled reactor; (3) an innovative superheated water reactor; (4) a boiling water reactor based on Toshiba's LSBWR; and (5) an integral PWR featuring compact steam generators. A similar study on potential attractive power cycles was also performed. A condensing and recompression supercritical $CO_2$ cycle and a compact steam Rankine cycle were designed. It was found that the hull size required by the reactor, safety systems and power cycle can be significantly reduced (50-80%) with the top five designs compared to the conventional PWR. Based on the qualitative economic consideration, the organic cooled reactor and boiling water reactor designs are expected to be the most cost effective options.
