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 paper, analysis on the performance characteristics of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system is 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 R404A high- and R744 low-temperature cycle, respectively. The main results were summarized as follows : It was observed that the highest COP of the system is achieved by higher superheating degree in R744 cycle than that in R404A cycle. The COP of the system increased by giving the subcooling degree in both cycles. The COP of the cascade system is the highest value when the system is operated at an optimum evaporation temperature.

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.

In this paper, the influences of several factors, such as subcooling, superheating degree, internal heat exchanger efficiency, and etc. to the optimal amount of refrigerant charge are investigated for the case of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system. Refrigerants used in the cascade refrigeration system are R404A in high temperature cycle and R744 in the low temperature cycle. The main results are summarized as follows : The mass flow rate ratio decreases with increasing subcooling, superheating degree and internal heat exchanger efficiency in the high temperature cycle, and evaporating temperature and compression efficiency in the low temperature cycle. And the mass flow rate ratio decreases with decreasing temperature difference of cascade heat exchanger and evaporating, condensing temperature in the high temperature cycle, and subcooling, superheating degree and internal heat exchanger efficiency in the low temperature cycle.

In order to obtain a low evaporation temperature ranging from $-30^{\circ}C{\sim}-50^{\circ}C$, a cascade refrigeration system and two-stage compression one-stage expansion refrigeration system is required. However, the research results of performance comparison of these refrigeration system are very scarce. This paper were compared the performance characteristics of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system and R404A two-stage compression refrigeration system. The COP of R404A two-stage compression refrigeration system is about 36~57% greater than that of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system in the range of evaporation temperature of $-30^{\circ}C{\sim}-50^{\circ}C$. But R404A two-stage compression refrigeration system is unstable because COP is significantly changed when evaporating temperature and compressor efficiency decreased. In particular, when compressor efficiency decreased, COP is significantly decreased. In this case, not efficient for long-term use. Whereas R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system using natural refrigerants. Therefore, it is environmentally friendly. And this system is high-efficiency refrigeration system. The reason it can be configured by selecting the suitable refrigerant at high-temperature side and low-temperature side. From the above results, select the appropriate low temperature refrigeration system by considering the environmental and performance aspects.

The cascade-correlation (CC) learning algorithm of Fahlman and Lebiere is one of the most influential constructive algorithm in a neural network. Cascading the hidden neurons results in a network that can represent very strong nonlinearities. Although this power is in principle useful, it can be a disadvantage if such strong nonlinearity is not required to solve the problem. 3 models are presented and compared empirically. All of them are based on valiants of the cascade architecture and output neurons weights training of the CC algorithm. Empirical results indicate the followings： (1) In the pattern classification, the model that train only new hidden neuron to output layer connection weights shows the best predictive ability; (2) In the function approximation, the model that removed input-output connection and used sigmoid-linear activation function is better predictability than CasCor algorithm.

When computer systems with mandatory access control mechanism are interconnected each other for enforcing the MHS(Message Handling System) security on the multilevel secure distributed network environment, illegal information flow may occurs due to the unexpected cascade vulnerability problem. In this paper, new MHS security policy and security property functions are proposed for preventing the cascade vulnerability.

Owing to the harmful environmental effects of HCFC and CFC refrigerants discovered in the late 20th century, the need for environmentally friendly refrigerants such as $CO_2$ in cooling systems has increased. Air-source $CO_2$ heat pumps that utilize ambient heat in cold winter are less efficient because of a higher evaporation temperature, and it is difficult to manufacture the components of the heat pump owing to a super critical pressure of over 130 bar. This research aims to overcome these disadvantages and improve energy efficiency by introducing a new lower-pressure $CO_2$ auto-cascade heat pump system. $CO_2$-R32 zeotropic refrigerants were considered for two-stage expansion and effective cooling heat exchanging system configurations of the new auto-cascade heat pump. The results indicated that the efficiency of the two-stage expansion system was higher than that of the original one-stage expansion system. Furthermore, the two-stage expansion system showed significant performance improvements when the two-stage expansion stage from highest pressure of 70bar, intermediate expansion pressure of 25bar, and final low pressure of 10bar is applied. The COP of the new two-stage auto-cascade system (2.332) was 43.15% higher than that of the present simple auto-cascade system (1.629). Refrigerants having an evaporation temperature of $-10^{\circ}C$ or lower can be obtained that can be easily evaporated in an evaporator even at a low temperature.
