The maximum temperature limit at which liquid boils explosively is called the superheat limit of liquids. The superheat limits of hydrocarbon liquids and their mixtures were measured by the droplet explosion technique. Also the fully evaporated droplet at the superheat limit and subsequent bubble evolution from the fully evaporated droplet were visualized. The pressure wave emanating from the evaporating droplet and subsequent bubble evolution process were measured by a piezoelectric transducer.

A theoretical model for laminar filmwise condensation along an isothermal vertical wall at constant pressure has been formulated on the basis of conservation laws and other fundamental physical principles. The model was applied to the prediction of the influences of variable thermophysical properties of liquid and vapor layers in the filmwise condensation of superheated vapor of Rl2, R134a, R142b and R152a. The dimensionless velocity component method was employed in the transformation of the governing equations and their boundary conditions, and the polynomial method was used for treating variable thermophysical properties of liquid and vapor. Physical quantities, such as the dimensionless thickness of the liquid layer, local heat transfer rate and mean heat transfer coefficient, were investigated for different values of the superheated temperature of the stagnant vapor far from the wall. It was found that the value of mean heat transfer coefficient of R134a was higher than other refrigerants for the change of the superheated temperature.

In this paper, we construct the controller for the heat exchanger system using iterative method. For awlying the linear quadratic control theory to the heat exchanger system which is represented by the bilinear system, we fomrulate the bilinear system to execute iteration We also propose Extended Kalman Filter to estimate bilinear system state for the purpose of state feedback controller design. We also awly the iterative controller to the thennal power plant superheater system temperature control, and computer simulation show that the estimated value follows the superheater steam temperature under the variation of the external inputs, and that the output steam temperature is properly maintained.tained.

In order to increase power plant efficiency, the steam temperature was increased to 610 ℃ which deteriorates the durability of the boiler tube and as the use of low-calorie coal increases the post combustion and delayed combustion phenomenon, the overheating of the final reheater and the tube rupture are becoming frequent. In order to prevent overheating of the final reheater, desuperheater water injection was increased, leading to a decrease in boiler efficiency. In this study install a baffle plate at the back of some overheated tube groups, thereby reduce the temperature of the tube by reducing the amount of combustion gas, and the reduced combustion gas moves to an adjacent place to increase the temperature of other tubes. As a result of the study, the temperature deviation between tubes decreased 1.5. And the heat-reducing injection amount was reduced to 6,929 kg/h and the maximum tube temperature was reduced to 623.4℃ which is 6.6℃ more below than the control standard of 630℃.

화력 발전소의 드럼형 보일러 제어 프로세스에 있어 드럼 수위(Drum Level)의 정확한 측정은 매우 중요하다. 만약 드럼 수위가 불안정하게 되면 급수 유량 제어가 불안정하여 증기 온도 제어를 불안정하게 하고, 증기 온도의 변화는 보일러 출구 증기 압력을 변화시켜 연소 제어 계통을 불안정하게 한다. 결국 드럼 수위의 불안정은 발전소 전체 프로세스를 불안정하게 한다. 또한 드럼 수위의 오지시로 인해 수위가 과도하게 높아져 물이 터빈에 유입되면 터빈 날개의 파손을 가져오고, 반대로 수위가 너무 낮으면 과열로 인한 보일러 튜브의 파열을 초래하기도 한다. 특히, 보일러의 기동시 또는 과도상태일 때는 드럼 압력의 변화에 따른 water 및 steam의 밀도 변화로 인한 오차가 크며, 압력 대 밀도(비중)의 관계가 비선형 함수이므로 별도의 압력검출기에 의해 드럼 압력을 측정하여 압력 변화에 따른 오차를 보정해주어야 하는데 아날로그 시스템의 경우에는 이러한 압력 수위 보정을 기준 압력에 대해서만 하므로 기동시 또는 과도상태에서의 수위 제어에 많은 문제점이 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 보일러 드럼 수위 압력 보정의 유.무에 따라 드럼 수위 변화에 대해 시뮬레이션을 하여 압력 보정이 드럼 수위에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 한다.

Freezing is one of the main processes to extend the shelf life of foods. Before freezing, a thermal treatment is normally required to control the food quality. In this study, shiitake mushrooms were heated with boiling water and with superheated steam. After the thermal treatments, the samples were continuously frozen by an individual quick freezing (IQF) process, and put them into air-containing or vacuum packaging. Samples were stored at -12, -18 and $-24^{\circ}C$ for 24 weeks, and their physicochemical properties were determined. The lightness of the samples treated with boiling water and superheated steam was decreased by 12 and 15%, respectively, than that of the control. The hardness of all the samples rapidly increased after heat treatment. The contents of organic acids in the superheated steam treated samples were higher than those in the boiling water treated samples. Therefore, superheated steam treatment of samples may be a candidate thermal treatment to preserve frozen shiitake mushrooms.

An electric vehicle is an environmentally friendly vehicle because there is no exhaust gas, unlike gasoline automobiles. On the other hand, because the electric vehicle is driven by electric power charged in batteries, the distance to go through a single charge depends on the energy density of the batteries. Therefore, a lithium-ion battery with a high energy density is a good candidate for batteries in electric vehicles. Because the electrode is an essential component that governs the efficiency of a lithium-ion battery, the electrode manufacturing process plays a vital role in the entire production process of lithium-ion batteries. In particular, the drying process during the electrode manufacturing process is a critical process that has a significant influence on the performance. This paper proposes an innovative process for improving the efficiency and productivity of the drying process in electrode manufacturing and describe the equipment design method and development results. In particular, the design procedure and development method for enhancing the electrode adhesion power, atmospheric pressure superheated steam drying technology, and drying furnace slimming technologies are presented. As a result, high-speed drying technology was developed for battery electrodes through the world's first turbo dryer technology for mass production using open/integrated atmospheric pressure superheated steam. Compared to the conventional drying process, the drying furnace improved the productivity (Dry Lead Time $0.7min{\rightarrow}0.5min$).

The problem of constructing an bilinear observer for use in the control of superheater temperature with desuperheater is considered. The distributed heat input into the superheater is usually not available for use in the observer, and hence is treated as an unknown inputs. The bilinear observer theory for system with unknown inputs is exploited and applied to the problem.

The piping systems in the steam-driven power engines lie under the cyclic condition of thermal expansion and contraction by superheated steam. These phenomena might cause some severe damages on the pipes and the accessory devices. To avoid these damages, the calculation of the proper strength and the consideration of the reduced resultant forces on the materials are needed. In the present study, numerical investigations on the effects of the thermal deformation of the industrial piping system were performed with comparison of the design data. Commercial software, ABAQUS with the thermal-fluidic loadings based on the design conditions was used for the thermal stress analysis of the piping system. From the analysis of the initially-designed pipe supporters, the rearrangement was suggested to improve the piping design.

Transient characteristics of a boiler and turbine system for a steam power plant are simulated. One-dimensional unsteady models are introduced for each component. An interaction between boiler and turbine and a control of the water level in the drum are taken into account. Transient responses of the system to the variations of main system variables such as fuel and air flow rate, cooling water injection rate at the attemperator, gas recirculation rate at the furnace and opening of the turbine control valve are examined. Effect of fluid inertia and tube wall thermal inertia on predicted dynamic behavior is investigated.
