This study presents a comparative thermodynamic analysis of subcritical and transcritical organic Rankine cycles for the recovery of low-temperature heat sources considering nine substances as the working fluids. The effects of the turbine inlet pressure, source temperature, and working fluid on system performance were all investigated with respect to metrics such as the temperature distribution of the fluids and pinch point in the heat exchanger, mass flow rate, and net power production, as well as the thermal efficiency. Results show that as the turbine inlet pressure increases from the subcritical to the supercritical range, the mismatch between hot and cold streams in the heat exchanger decreases, and the net power production and thermal efficiency increase; however, the turbine size per unit power production decreases.

Microwave oven and household cooker are devices of high voltage producer and high voltage storage batteries respectively for formation of necessary high frequencies at drive. These devices emit much heat energy because they are run at high voltages. Therefore, emitted heat energy becomes a factor that raises temperature of microwave ovens' main frame. In this research, the analysis shows the temperature distribution in microwave oven with the cooling fan drive conditions and the heat energy occurrence conditions. According to the analysis, as the speed of air outpoured in cooling fan increases, and the internal temperature decreases quantitatively. Also the inside temperature distribution was investigated by controlling heat energy emission.

In this study, 1-way fluid structure interaction analysis(FSI) for the shutter, component of side jet thruster was performed to evaluate the safety. Driving torque to open nozzle, thermal and high pressure load of hot gas was applied to shutter. Thus, the shutter must be designed to endure this load during combustion. We carried out computational fluid dynamics analysis to obtain the pressure, temperature, and heat transfer coefficient of hot gas of side jet thruster. We then used the data as the load condition for a thermal structural analysis using a mapping method. The locations with the maximum stress and temperature distributions were found. We compared the maximum stress with the tensile stress of shutter material according to temperature to evaluate the safety. We also analyzed the radial deformation of the shutter to set the proper interface gap with the side jet thruster parts.

In this study, exergy analysis of a thermally activated refrigeration cycle, a combined organic Rankine cycle (ORC), and a vapor compression cycle (VCC) were conducted. It is considered that a system uses a low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible heat, such as various renewable energy sources or waste heat from industries, and one of eight working fluids: R143a, R22, R134a, propane, isobutane, butane, R245fa, or R123. The effects of turbine inlet pressure and the working fluid selected on the exergy destructions (anergies) at various system components as well as the COP and exergy efficiency of the system were analyzed and discussed. The results show that the component of the greatest exergy destruction in the system varies sensitively with the turbine inlet pressure and/or working fluid.

본 연구에서는 가스 발생기에서 발생되는 고온, 고압의 가스를 이용하여 유도탄을 수직 발사하는 사출 시스템에 대해 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 사출 시스템에 의한 수직발사 방식은 발사관내에 설치된 가스 발생기에 의해 생성된 가스가 사출 실린더의 피스톤을 구동시켜, 피스톤에 연결된 유도탄을 요구되는 높이로 사출 시킨 후 유도탄이 점화되는 발사방식이다. 이러한 발사방식은 유도탄 자체의 부스터 발사방식에 비해 유도탄의 화염에 의한 영향이 적다. 현재 사출 시스템은 가스발생기, 가스 튜브, 사출 실린더와 피스톤으로 구성되어있다. 본 논문은 가스 발생기에서 사출 실린더까지의 내부 유동장을 일차원적으로 모델링하였고, 가스발생기, 가스튜브, 실런더 내의 유동과 열전달 과정 및 유도탄의 동적거동에 대한 미분방정식을 연립하여 4th-order Runge-Kutta 방법으로 계산하였다. 또한 가스튜브와 사출 실린더의 열전달 손실에 대하여 1차원 비정상 열전도 방정식의 수치적 계산을 통해 에너지 손실을 계산하였다. 특히 해석에 사용된 작동유체인 추진제 가스의 열학적 상태량은 온도 함수의 5차 다항식으로 표현하여 사용하였다. 이론적인 해석을 통해 사출 장치 시스템의 성능 요구조건과 신뢰성을 만족시키기 위한 가스발생기의 추진제 그레인 및 사출 시스템 설 계 조건을 도출하였다.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis has been performed to estimate the air temperature inside an Auxiliary Feed Water (AFW) Motor-Driven (MD) pump room for the case where there is loss of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC). A transient calculation for the closed pump room without cooling by any HVAC system shows that the volume-averaged air temperature reaches around $60^{\circ}C$ for a transient period of 8.0 h. From previous studies, the external air and surface boundary temperatures are assumed to increase slowly starting from an initial temperature of $35^{\circ}C$. For the cases where the door is opened at 2, 4, and 6 h after the initiation of HVAC failure, the average air temperature promptly drops by about $4^{\circ}C$ when the door is opened and then slowly increases. The current calculations based on the CFD technique predict the rate of increase of air temperature to be lower than that determined by previous conservative calculations on the basis of a lumped model.

In this study, for the purpose of reduction of $CO_2$ gas emission and to increase recovery of waste heat from ships, the ORC(Organic Rankine Cycle) is investigated and offered for the conversion of temperature heat to electricity from waste heat energy from ships. Simulation is performed with waste heat from the exhaust gasse which is relatively high temperature and cooling sea water which is relatively low temperature from ships. The result shows that 1,000kW power generation is available from exhaust gas and 600kW power generation is available from sea water cooling system. Different fluid is used for simulation of the ORC system with variable temperature and flow condition and efficiency of system and output power is compared.

Measurements with a Langmuir probe, which are the most often used procedures of plasma diagnostics, can disturb plasma flows and change its characteristics quite a little because the probe should be inserted into thermal flowing plasmas. In this study, we calculated the characteristics of thermal plasmas with and without the probe into an atmospheric argon free-burning arc numerically, and investigated aerodynamic and thermal disturbances with temperature and axial velocity distributions. For the modelling of thermal plasmas, we have made two governing equations, which are on the thermal-flow and electromagnetic fields, coupled together with a commercial CFD package and user-coded subroutines. It was found that thermal disturbances happened to both sides of the probe, before and behind, seriously. Due to the aerodynamic disturbance, we could find that there were the stagnation point in front of the probe and the wake behind it. Therefore, aerodynamic and thermal disturbances caused by the probe insertion should be considered to increase the reliability of the probe diagnostics.

We study the closing characteristics of a self-sustainable poppet valve which serves as a main oxidizer shut-off valve for liquid rocket engines. Numerical analysis for predicting closing transient responses are presented and the calculated results have been verified by a comparison with experimental data. The effective area of a pilot gas discharge system and the pressure distribution of passage flow around the valve moving part are shown to be main parameters in determining the closing characteristics for dry and cryogenic conditions, respectively. Moreover, it is presented that the passage flow pressure at the valve closing moment as well as the valve closing velocity can be effectively adjusted by the appropriate employment of the pilot gas.
