대체모델을 사용한 탄화수소계열 혼합유체를 아임계 및 초임계 상태에서 이중 충돌 분무를 통해 분무 메커니즘을 가시화하여 분석하였다. 임계압력과 온도가 다른 데칸과 메틸사이클로헥산을 대체모델로 선정하였다. 챔버 내부에 이중 충돌 인젝터를 설치하여 아임계 및 초임계 상태에서 고속카메라를 통해 분무를 가시화하였다. 혼합유체의 분사 및 챔버 환산압력은 Pr(P/P_c)=1로 유사하게 유지하였으며 Tr(T/T_c)은 0.48에서 1.02까지 증가시켰다. Tr이 증가할수록 혼합유체의 물성치가 각각의 임계점에 도달하여 분무각은 증가하고 시트분열길이는 감소하였다. 또한 혼합 유체가 모두 근임계점에 도달하였을 때 이중 충돌 분열 메커니즘에서 벗어나 밀도 구배의 변화가 크게 관측됨을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 전기절연판이나 접착제로 널리 사용되는 페놀수지를 초임계 유체를 이용하여 카본입자로 재활용 하는방법을 연구 하였다. 폐페놀수지는 불융/불용 특성으로 대부분 매립하거나 소각처리하고 있으며, 환경오염 방지차원에서 페놀수지의 새로운 재활용 기술 개발이 매우 필요한 실정이다. 폐페놀수지를 재활용하기 위해 다양한 아/초임계 용매(에탄올, 아세톤, 물, 메탄올)를 선정하여 처리하였다. 그 결과 기존의 카본입자의 제조 방법들 보다 훨씬 낮은 온도 조건($350{\sim}380^{\circ}C$)에서 카본입자를 제조할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 재활용된 카본입자의 FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, EDS 분석을 통하여 반응용매에 따른 카본입자의 특성을 고찰하였으며, 모든 용매에 대해 동일한 화학구조 및 비정질 구조를 가지는 카본입자를 제조 할 수 있었다.

인쇄기판형 열교환기는 집적도가 높고 구조적으로 견고하여 차세대 초임계 이산화탄소 발전 사이클용 열교환기로 각광받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 열원측과 열침측의 채널 크기가 상이한, 획기적인 형태의 인쇄기판형 열교환기에 대한 수치적 연구 결과를 보고한다. 초임계 이산화탄소를 작동유체로 하는 인쇄기판형 열교환기에 대해서 형상변수에 따른 전열성능을 해석하였으며, 그 결과 열원 혹은 열침측의 채널 직경이 증가함에 따라 유속 감소에 의해 전열성능이 단조적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 채널간격의 경우 열교환기의 전열성능에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수력직경이 동일할 경우 채널 단면의 모양은 전열성능에 괄목할 만한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 콜라겐을 함유하는 지방흡입 유출물을 초임계 유체 존재 하에 처리하여 지방을 추출하여 콜라겐을 얻어 내는 기술에 대한 것이다. 초임계 용매를 이용하여 동물 유래 지방으로부터 단시간(약 6시간)에 콜라겐 추출물을 얻을 수 있었으며, 원료 대비 질량으로 대략 2~3%의 콜라겐을 얻을 수 있었다. 초임계 추출로 얻어진 추출물을 SDS-PAGE를 이용하여 콜라겐이 존재함을 확인하였고, 비교적 분자량이 큰 타입1 콜라겐임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 초임계 추출에 의해서 얻어진 콜라겐 중에 어떤 성장인자 들이 있는 지 알아보기 위하여 IGF-1, bFGF, VEGF 및 NGF의 성장인자에 대해서 분석하였으며, 이들 성장인자 들이 추출물에 함유 되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 초임계 처리 전, 후의 시료 mg 당 DNA함량은 큰차이를 보이지 않았다. 초임계 공정을 이용한 탈세포화 기술에 대해서는 보다 심도 깊은 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것 같다. 결론적으로 초임계유체를 이용한 용매추출 과정을 통하여 얻어진 세포외기질은 탈세포 및 탈지하여도 일정 함량 이상의 성장인자를 함유하여 생체적합성이 매우 증가될 뿐만 아니라, 조직의 재생을 빠르게 유도할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Exploring the basic concepts for the design of CO2-philic molecules is important due to the possibility for “green” chemistry in supercritical CO2 as substitute solvent systems. The Lewis acid-base interactions and C?H…O weak hydrogen bonding were suggested as two key factors for the solubility of CO2-philic molecules. We have performed high level quantum mechanical calculations for the van der Waals complexes of CO2 with trimethylphosphate and trimethylphosphine oxide, which have long been used for metal extractants in supercritical CO2 fluid. Structures and energies were calculated using the MP2/6-31+G(d) and recently developed multilevel methods. These studies indicate that the Lewis acid-base interactions have larger impact on the stability of structure than the C?H…O weak hydrogen bonding. The weak hydrogen bonds in trimethylphosphine oxide have an important role to the large supercritical CO2 solubility when a metal is bound to the oxygen atom of the P=O group. Trimethylphosphate has many Lewis acid-base interaction sites so that it can be dissolved into supercritical CO2 easily even when it has metal ion on the oxygen atom of the P=O group, which is indispensable for a good extractant.

Parametric studies of heat transfer and fluid flow are very important research of interest because the design and operation of fluid flow and heat transfer systems are guided by these parametric studies. The safety of the system operation and system optimization can be determined by decreasing or increasing particular fluid flow and heat transfer parameter while keeping other parameters constant. The parameters that can be varied in order to determine safe and optimized system include system pressure, mass flow rate, heat flux and coolant inlet temperature among other parameters. The fluid flow and heat transfer systems can also be enhanced by the presence of or without the presence of particular effects including gravity effect among others. The advanced Generation IV reactors to be deployed for large electricity production, have proven to be more thermally efficient (approximately 45% thermal efficiency) than the current light water reactors with a thermal efficiency of approximately 33 ℃. SCWR is one of the Generation IV reactors intended for electricity generation. High Performance Light Water Reactor (HPLWR) is a SCWR type which is under consideration in this study. One-eighth of a proposed fuel assembly design for HPLWR consisting of 7 fuel/rod bundles with 9 coolant sub-channels was the geometry considered in this study to examine the effects of system pressure and mass flow rate on wall and fluid temperatures. Gravity effect on wall and fluid temperatures were also examined on this one-eighth fuel assembly geometry. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, STAR-CCM+, was used to obtain the results of the numerical simulations. Based on the parametric analysis carried out, sub-channel 4 performed better in terms of heat transfer because temperatures predicted in sub-channel 9 (corner subchannel) were higher than the ones obtained in sub-channel 4 (central sub-channel). The influence of system mass flow rate, pressure and gravity seem similar in both sub-channels 4 and 9 with temperature distributions higher in sub-channel 9 than in sub-channel 4. In most of the cases considered, temperature distributions (for both fluid and wall) obtained at 25 MPa are higher than those obtained at 23 MPa, temperature distributions obtained at 601.2 kg/h are higher than those obtained at 561.2 kg/h, and temperature distributions obtained without gravity effect are higher than those obtained with gravity effect. The results show that effects of system pressure, mass flowrate and gravity on fluid flow and heat transfer are significant and therefore parametric studies need to be performed to determine safe and optimum operating conditions of fluid flow and heat transfer systems.

This study investigates the application of supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO₂) direct-cycle micro modular reactors (MMRs) in primary frequency control (PFC), which is a scenario characterized by significant load fluctuations that has received less attention compared to secondary load-following. Using a modified GAMMA + code and a deep neural network-based turbomachinery off-design model, the authors conducted an analysis to assess the behavior of the reactor core and fluid system under different PFC scenarios. The results indicate that the acceptable range for sudden relative electricity output (REO) fluctuations is approximately 20%p which aligns with the performance of combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) and open-cycle gas turbines (OCGTs). In S-CO₂ direct-cycle MMRs, the control of the core operates passively within the operational range by managing coolant density through inventory control. However, when PFC exceeds 35%p, system control failure is observed, suggesting the need for improved control strategies. These findings affirm the potential of S-CO₂ direct-cycle MMRs in PFC operations, representing an advancement in the management of grid fluctuations while ensuring reliable and carbon-free power generation.

Liquid hydrogen (LH₂) has a higher density than gaseous hydrogen, so it has high transport efficiency and can be stored at relatively low pressure. In order to use efficient bulk hydrogen in the industry, research for the LH₂ supply system is needed. In the high-pressure hydrogen station based on LH₂ currently being developed in Korea, a heat exchanger is used to heat up supercritical hydrogen at 700 bar and 60 K, which is pressurized by a cryogenic high-pressure pump, to gas hydrogen at 700 bar and 300 K. Accordingly, the heat exchanger used in the hydrogen station should consider the design of high-pressure tubes, miniaturization, and freezing prevention. A helical heat exchanger generates secondary flow due to the curvature characteristics of a curved tube and can be miniaturized compared to a straight one on the same heat transfer length. This paper evaluates the heat transfer performance through parametric study on the distance between coils, guide effect, and anti-icing design of helical heat exchanger. The helical heat exchanger has better heat transfer performance than the straight tube exchanger due to the influence of the secondary flow. When the distance between the coils is uniform, the heat transfer is enhanced. The guide between coils increases the heat transfer performance by increasing the heat transfer length of the shell side fluid. The freezing is observed around the inlet of distribution tube wall, and to solve this problem, an anti-icing structure and a modified operating condition are suggested.
