In this paper, the cycle performance analysis for condensation and evaporation capacity, total work and efficiency of ocean thermal energy conversion power system using R744 ($CO_2$) is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include superheating and subcooling degree, evaporation and condensation temperature, pump and turbine efficiency. The main results were summarized as follows : The evaporation capacity of R744 increases with superheating and subcooling degree, but decreases with the increasing condensation temperature. The total work increases with superheating and subcooling degree of R744, but decreases with the increasing evaporating temperature. And, the efficiency increases with subcooling and superheating degree, but decreases with the increasing condensation temperature. Therefore, superheating and subcooling degree, evaporation and condensation temperature and pump and turbine efficiency of R744 OTEC power system have an effect on the evaporation and condensation capacity, total work and efficiency of this system. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the OTEC power cycle using R744.

본 연구는 일반적으로 소·중용량의 냉동·공조기에 많이 사용되고 있는 플레이트 핀 코일형 공냉응축기를 대상으로 수치해석에 의해 응축기의 특성을 파악하였다. 해석에서는 응축기를 과열증기영역, 2상영역 및 과냉각액영역으로 구분하여 공냉 응축기의 성능에 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 공기온도, 공기측열전달률, 입구 냉매온도, 응축온도 및 질량유량 등을 파라메터로하여 이들의 상호관계와 이들이 응축완료점까지의 거리 및 방열량 등에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 해석결과로는 해석모델로부터 각 영역의 냉매 상태량, 온도분포 및 열전달률을 구할 수 있었고, 일반적으로 응축기의 성능에 많은 영향을 미치는 각종 파라메터들을 중심으로 광범위한 동작조건에서 이들의 상관관계 및 특성을 파악하므로서 응축기 설계를 위한 기초 자료 및 설치장소나 주위환경 등에 따라 서로간에 다양한 영향을 미치는 실제장치의 동적특성 해석을 위한 자료를 얻을 수 있었다.

고온의 증기가 과냉각 상태의 물과 직접접촉에 의해 발생하는 응축현상(DCC Direct Contact Condensation)을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 본 연구는 두단계로 나누어 수행하였다. 1단계 연구에서는 간단한 원형관 형태의 수평 노즐을 통하여 증기제트가 대기압 상태의 과냉각수로 분출될 때 증기제트 및 주위의 거동을 측정·분석하였다. 수조의 온도와 증기유량의 변화에 따른 증기제트의 축방향과 반경방향 온도분포와 수조 벽면에서의 동압을 측정하였으며, 고속 비디오 카메라를 사용하여 각각의 경우에 대하여 증기제트의 분출이미지를 촬영하였다. 벽면에서의 동압은 노즐의 분출구직경과 응축수의 온도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 2단계 연구에서는 몇가지 형태의 증기분사기 축소 모형에 대한 응축성능을 비교하였다. 이때에는 수조의 온도상승으로 인해 수조가 가압되는 정도를 알아보기 위해 수조를 밀봉한 상태로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험시 수조의 압력은 시간의 경과에 따라 계속적으로 증가하였으나, 이는 방출된 증기의 불완전한 응축에 의한 것은 아니고 증기의 분출과 응축으로 인한 응축수의 부피팽창과 수조 온도의 상승으로 인한 증기압의 상승 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

증기 제트 응축에서 발생하는 응축하중을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 네 가지 서로 다른 직경의 노즐 (5, 10, 15, 20mm) 과 증기분사기를 응축실험에 사용하였으며, 증기 질량유속과 물온도를 변화하면서 동압을 측정하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 압력파의 진폭은 노즐 직경이 작을수록 작았다. 한편 압력파의 진폭은 일반적으로 물온도가 증가할수록 증가하나 물온도가 어느 한도 이상으로 증가하면 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 물온도가 아주 높고 증기 질량유속이 큰 경우에는 불안정한 압력파가 발생할 가능성이 관찰되었다.

Experimental study on characteristics of direct contact condensation of steam discharged into a sub-cooled water pool has been performed using five different sizes of horizontal nozzle over a wide range of steam mass fluxes and pool temperatures. Steam condensation phenomena have been observed visually and by taking pictures of steam jets using a high speed video camera. Two different steam jet shapes such as ellipsoidal shape and conical shape were typically observed for a stable steam jet, depending on the steam mass flux and pool temperature. The steam jet expansion ratio and the steam jet length as well as the condensation heat transfer coefficients were determined. The effect of steam mass flux, pool temperature, and nozzle diameter on these parameters were also discussed. Empirical correlations for the steam jet lengths and the condensation heat transfer coefficients as a function of steam mass flux and condensation driving potential were established. The axial and radial temperature distributions in steam jet and in surrounding water were measured. The effect of steam mass flux, pool temperature, and nozzle diameter were also discussed. The condensation regime map, which consists of six regimes such as chugging, transient chugging, condensation oscillation, stable condensation, bubble condensation oscillation, and intermittent oscillation condensation, were established. In addition, the dynamic pressures at the pool wall were measured. The close relation of dynamic pressure and steam condensation mode, which is also dependent on steam mass flux and pool temperature, was found.

The purpose of this research is the study of characteristics of heat transfer in a heat pipe controlled by solenoid valve. A solenoid valve located to the adiabatic section between evaporator and condenser of heat pipe was used to control the valve action for effective energy transfer of the industrial exchanger machine. By the results presented in this study temperature difference between evaporator and condenser increases with increasing the temperature frequency and with decreasing the temperature amplitude. When inclination angle and flow rate of cooling water increases, the temperature amplitude is reached to the steady state rapidly with increasing the temperature frequncy.

In order to investigate the cooling capacity of an air-conditioner applying a variable capacity compressor and the temperature characteristics on a condenser and an evaporator, the experiment on the operation characteristics of the air-conditioner was performed along a compressor operation ratio and an indoor/outdoor temperatures, under a cooling operation mode. The system characteristics were measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The cooling capacity increased with decreasing the outdoor temperature and increasing the indoor temperature. Also, it increased with increasing the compressor operation ratio. The temperature of the condenser was more sensitive for the variation of the outdoor temperature and the temperature of the evaporator was more sensitive for the variation of the indoor temperature. The operation characteristics of the cycle used in this present were also analyzed by a pressure-enthalpy chart.

강수의 중수소과잉값(d-값)은 바다와 대기와의 접촉 과정에 의하여 일차적으로 지배되지만 빗방울의 부분증발, 응축온도의 변화 또는 d-값이 다른 수증기와의 혼합에 의하여 이차적으로 변화될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 동북아시아 강수의 d-값 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대하여 논의하였다. 아울러 제주도 한라산에 내리는 강수의 d-값이 고도가 높아짐에 따라 커지는 원인에 대하여 검토하였다.

The present study was conducted to elucidate the characteristics of temperature at the inlet and outlet pipes of a refrigerator drain condenser and suggest the method to predict the temperature of the refrigerant at the inlet and outlet pipes of the drain condenser. For this purpose, a built in style refrigerator was installed in a constant temperature chamber to measure temperatures at the inlet and outlet pipes of the drain condenser. From the results of the present analysis, it could be seen that the measured temperatures changed from $37^{\circ}C$ to $46^{\circ}C$ and the actual refrigerant temperatures were higher than the measured temperatures with the difference magnitude of $8^{\circ}C$ to $22^{\circ}C$. The present study suggested that the temperatures of the refrigerator could be calculated with the measured temperatures by introducing curve fitting of the measured temperature. The predicted refrigerant temperatures by the present study had the accuracy within 6% error of the actual refrigerant temperatures.

This study presents the effect which the condensation water affects on performance characteristics of apparatus when the condensation water injects to the condenser. The experimental results are the following. The inlet outlet refrigerant temperature in condenser and outlet air temperature showed a little lower than that of the existing method. Also, the refrigeration capacity and COP(coefficient of performance) increased about 3%, 13~16% and the compressor work decreased about 27% than that of the conventional method. So, these results contribute not only the performance improvement of apparatus but also the solution of problem according to the discharge of periodic condensation water.
