Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is an useful cycle for power generation system with low temperature heat sources ($80{\sim}400^{\circ}C$). Since the boiling point of operating fluid is low, the system is used to recover the low temperature heat source of waste heat energy. In this study, a ORC with R134a is applied to recover the waste energy of condenser of coal fired power plant. A system model is developed via Thermolib$^{(R)}$ under Simulink/MATLAB environment. The model is composed of a refrigerant heat exchanger for heat recovery from coal fired condenser, a drum, turbine, heat exchanger for ORC heat rejection, storage tank, water recirculation pump and water drip pump. System analysis parameters were heat recovery capacity, type of refrigerants, and types of turbines. The simulation model is used to analyze the heat recovery capacity of ORC power system. As a result, increasing the overall heat transfer coefficient to become the largest of turbine power is the most economical.

A long term passive cooling system is considered as the most important safety feature for the nuclear design after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in 2011. The conventional active pump driven safety systems are not available during a station Black Out (SBO) accident. The current design requirement on cooling time of the Passive Auxiliarly Feedwater System (PAFS) is about 8 hours only. To meet the 72 hours cooling time, the pool capacity of cooling water tank should be increased as much as 3~4 times larger than that of current water cooling tank. In order to extend the cooling time for 72 hours, a new passive air-water combined cooling system is proposed. This paper provides the feasibility of the combined passive air-water cooling system. The current pool capacity of water cooling system is preserved, and the cooling capability is extended by an additional air cooler.

In this study, a waste heat recovery system was devised and the performances of components incorporated to recover the heat generated during the processing of aerobic liquid-composting in a livestock manure treatment facility were analyzed. In addition, the availability of recovered heat was confirmed. The heat generated by liquid fermentation in the livestock manure treatment facility was also checked. Experimental temperatures were set at 35, 40, and 45 ℃ based on considerations of the uniformity of aerobic liquid-composting fermentation tank temperature and its operating range (34.5 ~ 43.9 ℃). Recovered heat energies from the combined heat exchanger, which consisted of PE and STS pipes, were 53.5, 65.6, 74.4 MJ/h, The heat pump of capacity 5 RT was heated at 95.6, 96.1, 98.9 MJ/h and the heating COPs of the pump were 4.53, 4.62, and 4.65, respectively. The maximum hot water production capacity of the heat exchanger assuming a fermentation tank temperature of 45 ℃ confirmed an energy supply of 56 360 kcal/day. The heating capacity of the FCU linked to the heat storage tank was 20.8 MJ/h, and the energy utilization efficiency was 96.1%. When livestock manure was dried using the FCU, it was confirmed that the initial function rate was reduced by 50.5 to 45.8 % after drying.

Scoping analyses for the Safety Injection System (SIS) configuration for Korean Next Generation Reactor (KNGR) are peformed in this study. The KNGR SIS consists of four mechanically separated hydraulic trains. Each hydraulic train consisting of a High Pressure Safety Injection (HPSI) pump and a Safety Injection Tank (SIT) is connected to the Direct Vessel Injection (DVI) nozzle located above the elevation of cold leg and thus injects water into the upper portion of reactor vessel annulus. Also, the KNGR is going to adopt the advanced design feature of passive fluidic device which will be installed in the discharge line of SIT to allow more effective use of borated water during the transient of large break LOCA. To determine the feasible configuration and capacity of SIT and HPSI pump with the elimination of the Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) pump for KNGR, licensing design basis evaluations are performed for the limiting large break LOCA. The study shows that the DVI injection with the fluidic device SIT enhances the SIS performance by allowing more effective use of borated water for an extended period of time during the large break LOCA.

This study developed a determination method for a rainwater retention-pumping combination system for roof runoff control. The outflow and stored water volume in the rainwater system was simulated using a water balance equation. Its result is presented in the TPP (Tank capcity-Peak outflow-Pumping rate) curves for rainfall return periods. In a case study on reduction of the peak flow rate of 100-year return period to 5-year in Seoul, The range of pumping rate for $100m^2$ roof area is determined as $0{\sim}25{\ell}$/min. Additionally, retention volume of $8.5{\sim}10m^3$ can be combined with the pumping rate range. That is to say an effective combination of a retention-pumping system capacity can be determined from a system of $8.5m^3$ tank with $25{\ell}$/min to $10m^3$ tank without pump. Using the TPP curves, engineers can determine the effective combination range of retention & pumping system capacity. Furthermore, that can be helpful to decide a detail system capacity for field condition.

Since the revision of the Rationalization of Energy Use Law, the spread of new and renewable energy in buildings has been promoted. In addition, the production of electric power and thermal energy is an important issue in the change of energy paradigm centered on the use of distributed energy. Among them, geothermal energy is attracting attention as a high-performance energy-saving technology capable of coping with heating / cooling and hot water load by utilizing the constant temperature zone of the earth. However, there is a disadvantage that the initial investment cost is high as a method of calculating the capacity of a geothermal facility by calculating the maximum load. The disadvantages of these disadvantages are that the geothermal energy supply is getting stagnant and the design of the geothermal system needs to be supplemented. In this study, optimization design of geothermal system was carried out using optimization tool. As a result of the optimization, the ground heat exchanger decreased by 30.8%, the capacity of the heat pump decreased by 7.7%, and the capacity of the heat storage tank decreased by about 40%. The simulation was performed by applying the optimized value to the program and confirmed that it corresponds to the load of the building. We also confirmed that all of the constraints used in the optimization design were satisfied. The initial investment cost of the optimized geothermal system is about 18.6% lower than the initial investment cost.

The goal of the present paper is to show the optimum design and operation conditions on 6 kW solar water heating system by using computer simulation with verified modelling. As the object functions, we took not only the amount of acquired and auxiliary heat but LCC, which has a relative importance and decisive role in economy. As expected, the maximum heat is acquired at the slope of collector with the equal degree to the latitude, facing the south. The capacity increase of the circulation pump and the storage tank lead to the increase of acquired heat and the decrease of auxiliary heat, but do not necessarily give economical advantages owing to additional electrical power consumption. In the present system, the minimum LCC can be obtained at the storage tank volume of 450 L and the mass flow rate of 0.344 kg/s.

A ground source heat pump system maintains a constant efficiency due to its stable heat source and radiant heat temperature which provide a more effective thermal performance than that of the air source heat pump system. As an eco-friendly renewable energy source, it can reduce electric power and carbon dioxide. In this study, we analyzed one year of data from a web based remote monitoring system to estimate the thermal performance of GSHP with the capacity of 3RT, which is installed in a low energy house located in Daejeon, Korea. This GSHP system is a hybrid system connected to a solar hot water system. Cold and hot water stored in a buffer tank is supplied to six ceiling cassette type fan coil units and a floor panel heating system installed in each room. The results are as follows. First, the GSHP system was operated for ten minutes intermittently in summer in order to decrease the heat load caused by super-insulation. Second, the energy consumption in winter where the system was operated throughout the entire day was 7.5 times higher than that in summer. Moreover, the annual COP of the heating and cooling system was 4.1 in summer and 4.2 in winter, showing little difference. Third, the outlet temperature of the ground heat exchanger in winter decreased from $13^{\circ}C$ in November to $9^{\circ}C$ in February, while that in summer increased from $14^{\circ}C$ to $17^{\circ}C$ showing that the temperature change in winter is greater than that in summer.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to develop an automated disinfectant dilution system, and an automated data management system for spraying amount for resolving uncertainty problem. Methods: Proper diluting rate was made by a controlled volume pump for liquid disinfectant and a screw conveyer pump for solid disinfectant. The water capacity of disinfecting system of 400 L was controlled by two water level sensors. The water quantity of water tank was controlled by the signals which were produced by the water level sensors. Signals were processed by Labview Programming, and ON/OFF of solenoid valve that was used for controlling water supplying to water tank, was controlled by SSR. The operating time of pumps for disinfectant was controlled quantitatively. A turbine flowmeter was used for development of automated measurement system for spraying amount of disinfectant. In order to save the flowmeter data and to control the spraying system, a multi-function data logger was used, and it was processed and saved in Excel file by a program developed in this study. Results: Labview 2010 was used for programming to control the automated measurement system for spraying amount of disinfectant. Results showed that the relationship between flowmeter value and time had a significant linear relationship such as 0.99 of $R^2$. Generally, 6.74 L/s of diluted disinfectant is sprayed for a vehicle passing through the disinfection system (about 15 seconds). Test results showed that average error between the measured spraying amount and the flowmeter data was 50 mL, and the range of error was 1.3%. Since the amount and time of spraying could be saved in real-time by using the spreadsheet files which could not be modified arbitrarily, it made possible to judge objectively whether the disinfection spraying was performed or not. Test results of spraying liquid and solid disinfectant showed that the errors between the measured discharge rate and the theoretical one were ranged within 3-4% for various dilution rates. Conclusions: The disinfection system developed would be working accurately. The automated spraying data base management system satisfied the purpose of this study. The automated dilution process system developed in this study could discharge liquid and solid disinfectant with accurate dilution rate, relatively.
