Since the temperature of waste heat source is relatively low, it is difficult to maintain high level of efficiency in power generation when the waste heat recovery is employed in the system. In an effort to improve the thermal efficiency and power output, use of ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid in the power cycle becomes a viable option. In this work, the performance of ammonia-water mixture based Rankine cycle is thoroughly investigated in order to maximize the power generation from the low temperature waste heat. In analyzing the power cycle, several key system parameters such as mass fraction of ammonia in the mixture and turbine inlet pressure are studied to examine their effects on the system performance. The results of the cycle analysis find a substantial increase both in power output and thermal efficiency if the fraction of ammonia increases in the working fluid.

Rankine cycle using ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid has attracted much attention, since it may be a very useful device to extract power from low-temperature heat source. In this work, the thermodynamic performance of regenerative ammonia-water Rankine cycle is thoroughly investigated based on the second law of thermodynamics and exergy analysis, when the energy source is low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy. In analyzing the power cycle, several key system parameters such as ammonia mass concentration in the mixture and turbine inlet pressure are studied to examine their effects on the system performance including exergy destructions or anergies of system components, efficiencies based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The results show that as the ammonia concentration increases, exergy exhaust increases but exergy destruction at the heat exchanger increases. The second-law efficiency has an optimum value with respect to the ammonia concentration.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of thermodynamic performance of ammonia-water Rankine cycles with and without regeneration and Kalina cycle for recovery of low-temperature heat source. Special attention is paid to the effect of system parameters such as ammonia mass fraction and turbine inlet pressure on the characteristics of the system. Results show that maximum net power can be obtained in the regenerative Rankine cycle for high turbine inlet pressures. However, Kalina cycle shows better net power and thermal efficiency for low turbine inlet pressures, and the optimum ammonia mass fractions of Kalina cycle are lower than Rankine cycles.

The ammonia-water based power generation cycle utilizing liquefied natural gas (LNG) as its heat sink has attracted much attention, since the ammonia-water cycle has many thermodynamic advantages in conversion of low-grade heat source in the form of sensible energy and LNG has a great cold energy. In this paper, we carry out thermodynamic performance analysis of a combined power generation cycle which is consisted of an ammonia-water regenerative Rankine cycle and LNG power generation cycle. LNG is able to condense the ammonia-water mixture at a very low condensing temperature in a heat exchanger, which leads to an increased power output. Based on the thermodynamic models, the effects of the key parameters such as source temperature, ammonia concentration and turbine inlet pressure on the characteristics of system are throughly investigated. The results show that the thermodynamic performance of the ammonia-water power generation cycle can be improved by the LNG cold energy and there exist an optimum ammonia concentration to reach the maximum system net work production.

Since the thermal performance of cycles for use of low-temperature source is low if a pure working fluid is used, the cycles using ammonia-water binary mixture as a working fluid has attracted much attention over past two decades. Recently, several commercial power plants using Kalina cycles have been built and being operated successfully. In this work thermodynamic performance of Kalina cycles using ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid is investigated for the purpose of extracting maximum power from low-temperature energy source. Special attention is paid to the effect of system parameters such as concentration of ammonia and turbine inlet pressure on the characteristics of the system. Results show that the system performance is influenced sensitively by the ammonia concentration, and the role of the performance of heat exchangers is crucial.

It is a great interest to convert more energy in the heat source into the power and to improve the efficiency of power generating processes. Since the efficiency of power generating processes becomes poorer as the temperature of the source decreases, to use an ammonia-water mixture instead of water as working fluid is a possible way to improve the efficiency of the system. In this work performance of ammonia-water regenerative Rankine cycle is investigated for the purpose of extracting maximum power from low-temperature waste heat in the form of sensible energy. Special attention is paid to the effect of system parameters such as mass fraction of ammonia and turbine inlet pressure on the characteristics of system. Results show that the power output increases with the mass fraction of ammonia in the mixture, however workable range of the mass fraction becomes narrower as turbine inlet pressure increases and is able to reach 16.5kW per unit mass flow rate of source air at $180^{\circ}C$.

The use of the ammonia-water zeotropic mixture as a working fluid in the power generating system has been considered as a proven technology for efficient recovery of low-grade heat sources. This paper presents a thermodynamic performance analysis for ammonia-water evaporator using low-grade heat source, based on the exergy and entransy which has been recently introduced as a physical quantity to describe the heat transfer ability of an object. In the analysis, effects of the ammonia mass fraction and source temperature of the binary mixture are investigated on the system performance such as heat transfer, effectiveness, exergy destruction, entransy dissipation, and entransy dissipation based thermal resistance. The results show that the ammonia mass concentration and the source temperature have significant effects on the thermodynamic system performance of the ammonia-water evaporator.

흡수기는 흡수식 열펌프 시스템에서 중요한 구성요소일 뿐만 아니라 흡수기의 성능은 전체 시스템에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 기포분사형 흡수기에서의 암모니아기체의 흡수열의 효과적 제거를 위한 냉각수 방향으로의 열전달에 대해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 흡수기에 유입되는 암모니아 기체의 유속, 암모니아 수용액의 유속, 농도, 온도, 흡수기의 지름, 높이, 기체와 용액의 유입 방향등 여러 가지 변수에 대하여 열전달 성능의 특성을 살펴본 결과, 기체의 주입량, 용액의 주입량 증가는 열전달 성능 향상에 기여하며, 용액의 온도나 농도의 상승은 열전달 성능에 방해요소로 작용하였으며 흐름방향이 향류인 경우 열전달 성능에 향상이 있었다. 본 실험의 데이터를 이용하여 상관관계식을 유도하여 열전달에 대한 복잡한 관계를 일반화 하였다.

양어장에서 어류의 배설물 및 어류에 의해 소비되지 않고 있는 사료에 의한 암모니아성 질소이 제거를 위한 수처리 공법의 하나로써 질산화세균 및 탈질화 세균을 이용한 고정화 방법의 개발을 위해서는 우수한 암모니아 산화능력이 있는 미생물의 분리가 절대적이다. 이를 위하여 여러 곳으로부터 분리한 암모니아 산화 세균 가운데 생유깅 빠르고 $NO_{2}$ 생성이 뛰어난 Nitrosomonas sp. PK1을 선별하였다. 분리된 균의 생육에 따른 $NO_{2}$ 생성은 non-growth asso-ciated pattern을 보여주고 있었다. 또한 생육에 영향을 미치는 탄소원 가운데 glucose가 생유게 가장 좋았으나 농도가 0.1% 이상에서는 오히려 $NO_{2}$생성이 감소되었다. 따라서 고정화 방범에 이용하기 위해서는 생육과 $NO_{2}$생성 능력이 유지를 위한 적절한 생육 배지의 필요성을 보여주었다. Ion 첨가에 의한 영향을 검토한 결과 $ZnCl_{2}$의 첨가가 생육 및 $NO_{2}$ 생성량의 증가를 보여 주었으며 그 농도는 1~10mM로서 제한적임을 나타내었다.

계사내 공기중의 암모니아 농도 감소 목적으로 식물 기원 소화율 촉진제(phytogenic digestibility enhancer) 사용이 가능하다. 이 소화율 촉진제는 사료 설계 명세서 내 특정 성분(조단백질)을 감소시키고 영양소 이용성을 개선하여 동물생산성을 향상시키기 때문이다. 조단백질 함량이 낮은 사료 급여는 가금에게 적정 요구량 이상 흡수된 단백질(excess protein)의 뇨산(尿酸 : uric acid) 전환에 에너지를 소비하지 않아서 열역학적 이점(熱力學的 利點 : energetic advantage)이 있고, 이 에너지는 유익한 성장에 사용이 가능하도록 존재한다. 더욱이 동물 사료 중 조 단백질 1%는 약 3% 더 많은 물의 섭치가 필요하고, 그 중 80%는 다시 배설되므로 단백질 함량 적정화 사료들(protein optimized diets)은 음수 요구량을 감소시킨다. 이러한 단백질 적정화 사료는 동물 사육업자들에게 관심의 대상으로 명확한 경제적 이득이 발생한다.
