In this paper, thermodynamic design data for heating of double-effect absorption system using LiCl-water for evaporator heating source of sofar energy are investigated for the water-LiCl pair and a comparative study of the water-LiCl pair with the water-LiBr pair is given used for the computer simulation. The computer simulation is based on mass, material and heat balance equations for each part of the system. Coefficients of performance and flow ratios for effects of different operating temperatures are investigated. It is found that the heating COP is higher for the water -LiCl pair than for the water-LiBr pair, and FR is lower for the water-LiCl pair than for the water LiBr pair.

Extrusion is one of the most important operations in the polymer-processing industry. Development of models for extrusion and computer tools offer a route to developing reliable and optimized process designs. The models are based on the analysis of physical phenomena encountered during the process. Balance equations for mass, momentum and energy are fundamental to the problem. A predictive computer model has been developed for the single screw extruders with conventional screws of different geometry. The model takes into account melting zones of the extruder and describes an operation of the extruder system, making it possible to predict mass flow rate of the polymer, pressure and velocity profiles along the extruder screw channel. The simulation parameters are the material and rheological properties of the polymer; the screw pitch, and screw speed.

The purpose of this research is to develop the model of pressure drop per unit pipe length due to the turbulence modulations in particle-laden flows which can be applied to various fluid conditions. The wake behind a particle, particle size, loading ratio and density difference between two phases of particle-laden flow was considered. The frictional pressure drop was modeled with the force balance in control volume. The numerical results show good agreements with available experimental data and the model success-fully predicted the mechanism of the pressure drop in particle-laden flows.

This paper describes an experiment facility to measure the circulation characteristics of a water/steam receiver at various heat fluxes. The natural circulation type receiver was considered in this study. The experiment facility was designed to satisfy circulation balance with an appropriate scale down. As a result, riser tube inner diameter was 7.4 mm and water circulation was 0.319 kg/s. Downcomer tube inner diameter by circulation balance was 9.52 mm and the quality was from 0 to 0.23.

An investigation was performed to reveal the relation of the production and decomposition of the Zoysia japoni ica and Miscanthus sinensis litters on Mt.Kwanak. The decay constant k of litters was as follows; k of Zoysia japonica, k=0.44, k of Miscanthus sicensis, k=0.33 The time required for the decomposition of half of the accumulated organic matter of Zoysia japonice and Miscanthus sinensis was 1.6 and 2.1 years, respectively. The amount of mineral nutrients returned annually to soil is faster in the ZQvsia japonica grassland than in the Miscanthus sinensis grassland on Mt. Kwanak. Key words: Organic rnatter synthesis, Decomposition balance.

This paper reports the analysis of dynamic characteristics of air-cooled condenser. At first, there is an assumption that the superheated vapor flows into the condenser inlet. And in order to consider the effect of pressure change in the dynamic characteristics of the condenser the combined system of condenser and compressor was used. By using the equation of energy balance and the equation of mass balance, the basic equation for describing the dynamic characteristics of condenser can be derived. The transfer function for describing dynamic response of the condenser to flow rate change outlet can be obtained from using linearizations and Laplace transformations of the equation. From this transfer function, analytical investigation which affects the frequency responses of condenser has been made. Through this study, it became possible that the information about the dynamic characteristics of air-cooled condenser is offered. While the average heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant side necessary for the theoretical calculation of the dynamic characteristics is given by calculation method for the tube length and pressure drop of air-cooled condenser.

A numerical model for fabrication and deposition of ultrafine SiO2 particles were proposed in the simplified horizontal MCVD apparatus using tube furnace reactor. The model equations such as energy and mass balance equations and the 0th, 1st and 2nd moment balance equations of aerosols were considered in the reactor. The phenomena of SiCl4 chemical reaction, SiO2 particle formation and coagulation, diffusion and thermophoresis of SiO2 particles were included in the aerosol dynamic equation. The profiles of gas temperature, SiCl4 concentration and SiO2 particle volume were calculated for standard conditions. The concentrations, sizes and deposition efficiencies of SiO2 particles were calculated, changing the process conditions such as tube furnace setting temperature, total gas flow rate and inlet SiCl4 concentration.

Recently, ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems have been introduced in many modem buildings which use the annually stable characteristic of underground temperature as one of the renewable energy uses. However, all of GSHP systems cannot achieve high level of energy efficiency and energy-saving, because their performance significantly depends on thermal properties of soil, the condition of groundwater, building loads, etc. In this research, the effect of thermal properties of soil on the performance of GSHP systems has been estimated by a numerical simulation which is coupled with ground heat and water transfer model, ground heat exchanger model and surface heat balance model. The thermal conductivity of soil, the type of soil and the velocity of groundwater flow were used as the calculation parameter in the simulation. A numerical model with a ground heat exchanger was used in the calculation and, their effect on the system performance was estimated through the sensitivity analysis with the developed simulation tool. In the result of simulation, it founds that the faster groundwater flow and the higher heat conductivity the ground has, the more heat exchange rate the system in the site can achieve.

The study on the heat exchanger with catalytic combustion was performed as the development of the catalytic combustion applications. This study tried to achieve the both goals-the mixture preheating and the heat transfer to working fluid simultaneously by using the steady state catalytic combustion. The combustion characteristics were investigated with the quantitative, qualitative experimental variants of the mixture. In addition, the temperature distribution of catalytic layer was investigated to investigate the correlation between the combustion characteristics and the heat balance of the catalytic layer. As a result, the steady state reaction within the appropriate range of temperature is the critical factor in catalytic applications. To get this, the sensible control of both the mixture flow and the heat balance of catalytic layer were required.

The turnover-type sluice gate is typically actuated by the hydrauic system. The hydraulic system may be a open circuit type or a closed circuit type. The open circuit type hydraulic system is composed of a uni-directional pump, a directional control valve, pilot operated check valves, flow control valves, single-rod cylinders. The closed circuit type hydraulic system is composed of a bi-directional pump, pilot operated check valves, check valves, a counter balance valve, single-rod cylinders. The energy efficiencies of two hydraulic systems for the turnover-type sluice gate are compared here.
