This paper describes an analysis on performance and exergy of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system with internal heat exchanger to optimize the design for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree, internal heat exchanger and compression efficiency, evaporation and condensation temperature in the R744 low- and R404A high- temperature cycle, respectively. The main results are summarized as follows : As the evaporation temperature of cascade heat exchanger increases, the COP of R404A high-temperature cycle increases. But the COP of R744 low-temperature cycle decreases, and the COP of total cascade cycle is almost constant. As cascade evaporation temperature increase, the exergy loss in the R404A condenser and the R744 internal heat exchanger is the largest and the lowest among all components, respectively. Therefore, the exergy loss in the condenser and compressor of R404A must be decreased to enhance the COP of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system.

In this study, germination characteristics and effect of some chemicals on germination of Trapa japonica $F_{EROV}$ seeds were investigated to obtain a fundamental data for controlling them. When the seeds were stored at low temperature for at least 3 months, their dormancy was completely released with a germinability of above 90%. However, those stored under the room or high temperature condition were never germinated. Germination was best at constant temperature of around $25^{\circ}C$ or at alternate temperature of 25/$15^{\circ}C$ (12 hr-day/12 hr-night), and was nat dependent on light. They could germinate though planted at the depth of 15 cm, but their initial growth were: suppressed with increase of planting depth, especially above 10 cm depth. Germinability was lost when the fresh weight was decreased more than 30%, indicating that the seed is sensitive to dehydration. The freezing at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr didn't affect germination, but 5 hr treatment completely killed them. Their germination was inhibited by 100% at 100 ppm ABA and slightly inhibited above 25 ppm of butachlor, whereas pyrazosulfuron-ethylnt is likely to control T. japonica physically and herbicide treatment to inhibit germination may not be recommendatory. and bensulfuron-methyl didn't inhibit the germination at the concentration of 100 ppm. Taken together, dehydration treatme is likely to control T. japonica physically and herbicide treatment to inhibit germination may not be recommendatory.

This paper is concerned about the performance of alternative refrigerants of R-502 which has been widely used in transport and low temperature refrigeration. A breadboard heat pump was constructed with counterflow heat exchangers and tested with R-502 and transitional alternatives of R-402A and R-402B and long-term alternatives of R-404A and R-507 to compare the performance of each refrigerant. Measurements were conducted at two different condensing temperatures of $43.3^{\circ}C$ and $52.0^{\circ}C$ and the evaporating temperature was varied over a range from $-25^{\circ}C$ to $-5^{\circ}C$. The evaporator superheat and condenser subcooling were maintained constant at about $5^{\circ}C$ for all tests. Test results showed that all alternative fluids tested in this research work can be used as 'drop-in' fluids to replace R-502 without any major problem. It is also found that in the long run HFC alternatives are to be used due to their favorable environmental characteristics and better performance.

In this study, a design methodology for thermoacoustic refrigerator systems is proposed based on the thermal conduction and acoustic theories, and physical characteristics of an actual thermoacoustic refrigerator are investigated. Especially, the resonator is designed for minimizing the energy loss at cold end, and the position and length of the capillary stack are optimized in order to get a large temperature difference between hot and cold ends. Experimental results show that a maximun temperature difference of 22.7$^{\circ}$ and a temperature of 4.3$^{\circ}$C at cold end are obtained by supplying an electrical input of 33W without any thermal load at cold end.

R502 has been extensively used as a working fluid in transport refrigerating vehicles and low temperature refrigerating machines but is to be phased out by the end of 1995 due to ozone layer depletion problem. In this study, both theoretical cycle analysis and experiments were carried out to examine the best substitutes for R502. Theoretical results indicate that the alternatives available in the market today may replace R502 without significant changes in the system without suction line heat exchanger(SLHX). When the system contains a SLHX, however, COPs of the alternatives increase up to approximately 15~20% than those without the SLHX. But simultaneously, the discharge temperatures of the compressor also increrease significantly with the SLHX. Actual test results obtained from the experiment with a transport vehicle's refrigerator indicate the similar trend as those of the theoretical results. Especially, HFCs and their mixtures show lower discharge temperature than those of R502, which is one of the desirable features. Further research is needed to study the effect of the SLHX on the performance of the real machine as well as on the oil return for reliability of the system.

In this paper, prediction and comparison on COP(coefficient of performance) of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system are presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree, compressor efficiency, and condensing and evaporating temperature in the R404A high- and R744 low-temperature cycle, respectively. The main results were summarized as follows : The prediction for performance of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system have been proposed through multiple regression analysis and compared with other researcher's correlations. As a result, prediction proposed in the study shows disagreement with existing equations. Therefore, it is necessary to propose the more accurate correlation predicting the COP of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system through an addition experiments.

The low temperature distribution of the refrigerated and frozen food has been increased gradually. Refrigeration industry is using R134a refrigerant, which GWP is 1300. R1234yf is an alternative refrigerant of R134a because GWP of R1234yf refrigerant is just 4. Evaporator used in refrigeration truck refrigeration system is operated on low temperature condition. Accordingly, evaporator is formed frost and the formation of frost is rapidly decreased performance of evaporator. In this study, the performance of evaporator using R134a and R1234yf refrigerant was analyzed with operating conditions under frost condition. As a result, the performance of R134a evaporator according to air inlet temperature, relative humidity and evaporating temperature was more sensitive than R1234yf evaporator. Besides, the frost growth of R134a evaporator is steeper than that of R1234yf one.

This study examined the effects of freezing and thawing conditions on quality of Hanwoo bottom round. The beef samples were frozen by air blast freezing at $-20^{\circ}C$ or ethanol immersion freezing at $-70^{\circ}C$ and then stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. After 10 days of storage, the frozen samples were thawed with air blast thawing at $4^{\circ}C$ or water immersion thawing at $4^{\circ}C$ and subjected to subsequent analyses of drip loss, water holding capacity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), total aerobic bacteria, and microstructure. Drip loss significantly increased in samples treated with air blast freezing compared to ethanol immersion freezing, whereas freezing and thawing processes had no significant impact on water holding capacity of the samples. Thawing conditions had a much stronger influence on the TBARS and VBN of the samples than freezing conditions. There was no significant difference in the population of total aerobic bacteria among the four samples subjected to one freeze-thaw cycle. In addition, to analyze the effects of freeze-thaw cycle on the quality of beef, three freeze-thaw cycles were performed during storage. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles increased drip loss, TBARS, and VBN and decreased water holding capacity, accelerating microstructural damage. These data indicate that Hanwoo bottom round can be rapidly frozen and thawed by using ethanol immersion freezing and water immersion thawing methods with minimal impact on meat quality.
