In this paper, performance of various working fluids is evaluated for the closed Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) power plant operating on Rankine cycle. The evaporator and condenser are modeled via UA and LMTD method while turbine and pump are modeled by specifying isentropic efficiencies. R22, Propane, Propylene, R134a, R125, R143a, R32, R410A and Ammonia are used as working fluids. Results show that newly developed fluids such as R410A and R32 that do not cause stratospheric ozone layer depletion perform as well as R22 and ammonia. The superheat at the evaporator exit and subcooling at the condenser exit do not affect the performance of the simple OTEC power cycle. Turbine efficiency and heat exchanger size influence greatly the performance of the Rankine cycle. Finally, it was shown that closed OTEC power plants can practically generate electricity when the difference in warm and cold sea water inlet temperatures is greater than $20^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, the cycle performance analysis for the COP of supercritical heat pump using various refrigerants is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The working fluids are R134a, R22, R32, R290, R600, R600a, R1270 and R744. The operating parameters considered in this study include superheating degree of evaporator, temperature of gas cooler inlet and outlet, compressor efficiency and evaporating temperature in the supercritical heat pump system. The main results were summarized as follows : Superheating degree, temperature of gas cooler inlet and outlet, compressor efficiency and evaporating temperature of supercritical heat pump system have an effect on the COP of this system. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the supercritical heat pump using R134a. And, in comparison of COP of supercritical heat pump using various refrigerants, R32 and R600 is the highest, and R744 is the lowest among other refrigerants. From these results, it is confirmed that the COP of supercritical heat pump using R744 is higher than that using freon refrigerants such as R32 and R134a.

The energetics and transition state (TS) structures of the reactions of six substrates, $R_1R_2P$(=O or S)Cl-type where $R_1=R_2$=Me and/or MeO, with ammonia in acetonitrile are theoretically investigated at the level of CPCM-MP2/6-31+G(d) and CPCM-MP2/6-311+G(3df,2p). The degrees of distortion of TS from the ideal trigonal bipyramidal pentacoordinate, ${\Delta}{{\delta}}_{{\neq}b}$ for a backside and ${\Delta}{{\delta}}_{{\neq}f}$ for a frontside attack, are calculated. The results of calculation suggest that the feasibility of a frontside attack for P=S is greater than that for P=O system when the two ligands, $R_1$ and $R_2$, becomes larger. The experimental and calculated results of anilinolyses of $R_1R_2P$(=O or S)Cl-type show the consistent tendencies.

This study reports pressure drops during evaporation for R-l34a, R-407C (a mixture of 23 wt% R-32, 25 wt% R-125, and 52 wt% R-l34A) and R-410A (a mixture of 50 wt% R-32 and 50 wt% R-125) in the oblong shell and Plate heat exchanger. The effects of the mass fluxes, heat fluxes, refrigerant saturation temperatures and vapor quality of refrigerants on the measured data were explored in detail. The present data showed that pressure drops of all refrigerants increase with the vapor quality. At a higher mass flux, pressure drops are higher for the entire range of the vapor quality A rise in the heat flux doesn't show significant effects on the pressure drops. Finally, at a higher saturation temperature the pressure drops are found to be lower. The pressure drops for R-407C were approximately 20% lower than those of R-l34a. R-410A had 33% lower pressure drops than R-l34a. Correlation is also provided for the measured pressure drops in terms of the friction factor.

The evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R-22 and R-407C in a horizontal copper tube were investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a compressor, a mass flow meter, a condenser and a double pipe type evaporator (test section). The test section consists of a smooth copper tube of 6.4 mm inner diameter. The refrigerant mass fluxes were varied from 100 to $300\;kg/m^2s$ and the saturation temperature of evaporator were $5^{\circ}C$. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients of R-22 and R-407C increase with the increase of mass flux and vapor quality. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients of R-22 is about $5.68{\times}46.6%$ higher than that of R-407C. The evaporation pressure drop of R-22 and R-407C increase with the increase of mass flux. The pressure drop of R-22 is similar to that of R-407C. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, correlations failed to predict the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-22 and R-407C. therefore, it is necessary to develope reliable and accurate predictions determining the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-22 and R-407C in a horizontal tube.

R-410A, R-407C, and four refrigerant mixtures composed of R-32, R-l34a, R-l43a, R-l52a, R-600(butane), and R-600a(isobutane) were tested in an attempt to replace R-22 used in most of the residential air conditioners. The performance evaluation was carried out in a psychrometric calorimeter test facility using a residential spilt type air conditioner under the KS rating conditions. Except for the lubricant and hand-operated expansion valve, the other parts of the air conditioner were the same with the commercial system. Performance characteristics were measured; COP, capacity, compressor power, and VCR. R-410A was shown to have 5.5% higher COP and 3.5% lower capacity than R-22. R-32/134a/600a (42.8/ 46.0/11.2 wt%) mixture have the best performance among the four refrigerant mixtures composed of hydrofluorocarbon and hydrocarbon. This inixture have 3.0% lower COP and 1.6% lower capacity than R-22.
