다중 효용관식 증발기는 보통의 증발기에서 응축하여 제거하는 증기를 다음 효용관의 가열원으로 재사용하는 것으로 그 자체로도 에너지 절감효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다[1,2,4]. 기계식증기 재압축 증발기는 보통 증발기에서 응축시켜 제거하는 발생 증기를 압축하여 고온의 증기로 만든 다음 가열원으로 재이용하는 장치로 이에 대한 효용은 문헌에 잘 나타나있다[3,4]. 여기서는 다중효용관과 증기 재압축기를 조합한 증발기 중에서 Forward feed 방식의 다중효응관에 증기 재압축기를 부착한 경우에 대하여 타당한 물질수지, 열수지, 전열 식, 상평형식을 소개하였다. 또한 압축기의 용량을 결정하기 위한 단열압축공정의 지배방정 식을 소개하였다. 원료의 조건, 효용관의 수 및 총전열온도차가 주어지면 상기의 지배방정식의 해를 구할 수 있는데. 본연구에서는 Gauss-Seidel의 연속치환법을 이용하였다. 이와 같이 지배방적식의 해를 구하면 효용관의 면적, 압축펌프의 용량, 각효용관 입출구의 조건 등이 계산된다. 다중효용관 기계식 증기 재압축 증발장치의 최적화를 위하여는 효용관의 전열면적당 가격과 압축펌프의 용량당 가격 그리고 펌프를 운전하는데 필요한 전력의 요금 등의 자료가 요구된다. 총전열온도차에 따른 운전비와 시설비의 합이 최소가 되는 점이 최적 총전열온도차가 되는데 이 점을 구할 때에는 수치적으로 안정한 이분법을 이용하였다. Borland C++를 이용하여 프로그램하였으며 윈도우즈 환경에서 수행되게 하였다. 사용자 쉽게 이용할 수 있게 하기 위하여 각종 필요한 데이터를 입력할 수 있는 Edit box가 화면에 나타나게 하였다. 또한 입력된 데이터를 저장하거나 불려올 수 있는 메뉴, 입력된 데이타를 이용하여 효용관의 면적과 압축기의 용량을 계산하거나 효용관의 수가 주어졌을 때 총전열온도차를 최적화하는 것을 선택할 수 있는 메뉴 그리고 계산 결과를 파일로 혹은 프린트로 출력할 것을 선택할 수 있는 메뉴가 있다. 사용자는 해당되는 데이타를 입력한후 마우스로 원하는 작업의 메뉴를 선택하면 된다.

The evaporation of water from an aqueous solution is widely used in the food, desalination, pulp, and chemical industries. Usually, a large amount of energy is consumed in the evaporation process to boil off water due to atmospheric pressure. As a way of improving the energy efficiency of the evaporation process, the combination of multiple effect evaporation and thermal vapor recompression has been proposed and has become a successful technique. In this study, 4 multiple-effect falling film type evaporators for sugar solution are designed and the energy efficiency of the system is analyzed in response to the selection of the steam ejector position. Energy efficiency is increased and vapor is more compressed in the steam ejector as the Thermal Vapor Recompression (TVR) is arranged in the rear part of the evaporator system. A simplified 0-dimensional evaporator model is developed using non-linear equations derived from mass balances, energy balances, and heat transfer equations. Steam economy is calculated to compare the evaporation performance of the 4 proposed evaporators. The entrainment ratio, compression ratio, and expansion ratio are computed to check the ejector performance.

The depropanizing, debutanizing and deisobutanizing fractionation steps of processing natural gas liquids were improved through studying complex distillation arrangements, including the double dividing wall column arrangement (DDWC), the sequence including a dividing wall column (DWC) and a bottom DWC (BDWC), and the sequence including a DWC and a BDWC with top vapor recompression heat pump. These arrangements offer benefits by decreasing reboiler and condenser power consumption. Reducing the number of columns and their diameters can potentially reduce construction costs. The result also showed that operating cost could be reduced most significantly through novel combinations of internal and external heat integration: bottom dividing wall columns employing a top vapor recompression heat pump.

This study presented techno-economic analysis of a 500 MWe oxy-coal power plant with CO2 capture. The power plant included a circulating fluidized-bed (CFB), ultra-supercritical steam turbine, flue gas conditioning (FGC), air separation unit (ASU), and CO2 processing unit (CPU). The dry flue gas recirculation (FGR) was used to control the combustion temperature of CFB. One FGR heat exchanger, one heat exchanger for N2 stream exiting ASU, and a heat recovery from CPU compressor were considered to enhance heat efficiency. The decrease in the temperature difference (ΔT) of the FGR heat exchanger that means the increase in heat recovery from flue gas enhanced the electricity and exergy efficiencies. The annual cost including the FGR heat exchanger and FGC cooling water was minimized at ΔT = 10 ℃, where the electricity efficiency, total capital cost, total production cost, and return on investment were 39%, 1371 M$, 90 M$, and 7%/y, respectively.

In this study, a computer simulation has been performed for the refrigeration cycle using mixed refrigerants in order to decrease the process stream temperature to $-20^{\circ}C$. Refrigerant supply temperature was assumed to be $-30^{\circ}C$ considering the temperature difference as $10^{\circ}C$ with process stream. Peng-Robinson equation of state model was selected for the computer simulation. A new alpha function proposed by Twu et al was used for an accurate prediction of pure component vapor pressure experimental data. One fluid mixing rules were used for the estimation of mixture vapor-liquid equilibria calculations. A commercial process simulator, PRO/II with PROVISION was utilized for the simulation of the overall refrigeration process. In order to minimize the compressor power consumption, we have optimized the two-stage compression system by varying the first stage compressor outlet pressure. Finally, we could obtain the minimum total power 755.7kW at the first stage compressor outlet pressure, 6 bar.

$CO_2$ is generated by the combustion reaction, when getting the energy from fossil fuel. If the carbon dioxide emissions increases more, the global warming problem will become more serious. CCS (carbon capture storage) needs to be developed for the prevention of this. When liquefied $CO_2$ is transported, BOG (boil-off gas) is generated because of several problems. In the study, by injecting liquefied $CO_2$ in two tanks which contains $40m^3$each, the amount of BOG and its composition were measured during 30 days when generating pressure changes and external heat, loading, unloading. In result, 16,040 kg of BOG was generated and the composition has been found out to be 99.95% $CO_2$ and 0.05 % $N_2$. Also, we conducted simulation process for reliquefaction of generated BOG with vapor compression cycle using the PRO/II with PROVISION version 9.2. As a result, the refrigeration cycle of the total circulation flow rate was 42.07 kg/h and the condenser utility consumption was 48.85 kg/h.
