In order to protect the environment from the refrigerant pollution, the $CO_2$ may be regarded as one of the most attractive alternative refrigerants for an automotive air-conditioning system. Control methods for a $CO_2$ system should be different because of the unique property of a $CO_2$ as a refrigerant. Especially, the high-side pressure of a $CO_2$ system should be controlled for the efficient operation. The high-side pressure algorithm being composed of the pressure setpoint algorithm and the pressure setpoint reset algorithm was developed. The pressure setpoint algorithm, by using a least square method, was developed. The pressure setpoint reset algorithm, by using a fuzzy logic and by using a proportional logic, was also developed and compared. Simulation results showed that a proportional logic was more practical than a fuzzy logic for the pressure setpoint reset algorithm.

Cubic equations of state with two temperature dependent parameters are suggested and optimized using ASHRAE data for methane, propane, carbon dioxide, R-32 and R-134a. Appropriate simple functional forms are assumed for the temperature dependent parameters. The equations tested are Martin, Fuller, Harmens-Knapp, Schmidt-Wenzel. Among them modified Schmidt-Wenzel equation of state appears to be the choice for calculation of saturation properties such as vapor pressures, saturated liquid volumes, and saturated vapor volumes with an average absolute deviation of about one percent over the entire region excluding; the near cirtical.

The objective of this work is to investigate the form of equations of state for specific refrigerants. In particular, equations of the extended van der Waals form have been studied. As a result, a new equation of state has been developed and tested over ranges of pressure and density up to 5 and 1.5 times critical, respectively. The equation of state separates the compressibility factor into two parts. One is the repulsive compressibility factor and the other is attractive. The former is in the same form of Carnahan-Starling's repulsive term with constant hard-sphere volume. The latter is based on a combination of two different functions linear to density. The equation of state developed here has 12 adjustable parameters and correlates PVT data successfully. All properties are in reduced forms.

Rare-earth (RE) nitrides can be used as magnetocaloric materials in low temperature. They exhibit ferromagnetism and have Curie temperature in the region from 6 to 70 K. In this study, Holmium nitride (HoN) nano particles were prepared through plasma arc discharge technique and their magnetocaloric properties were studied. Nitrogen gas ($N_2$) was employed as an active element for arc discharge between two electrodes maintained at a constant current. Also, it played an important role not only as a reducing agent but also as an inevitable source of excited nitrogen molecules and nitrogen ions for the formation of HoN phase. Partial pressure of $N_2$ was systematically varied from 0 to 28,000 Pa in order to obtain single phase of HoN with minimal impurities. Magnetic entropy change (${\Delta}S_m$) was calculated with data set measured by PPMS (Physical Property Measurement System). The as-synthesized HoN particles have shown a magnetic entropy change ${\Delta}S_m$) of 27.5 J/kgK in applied field of 50,000 Oe at 14.2 K thereby demonstrating its ability to be applied as an effective magnetic refrigerant towards the re-liquefaction of hydrogen.

유체의 상변화를 이용하는 냉난방장치 등의 열장치에 대한 열역학적인 성능평가는 열역학적 성질들에 대한 구체적인 수치값을 필요로 한다. 그러나 이러한 열역학적 성질들을 제공하는 증기표를 그대로는 사용할 수 없기 때문에 효과적인 모델링이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 신경회로망의 함수근사 특성을 이용하여 냉방장치의 매질로 사용되는 냉매(R12)의 포화증기 영역을 모델링하였다. 냉매 R12의 포화증기 영역의 함수근사 해석을 위하여 1개의 노드를 가진 입력층에 대하여 7개의 노드를 가진 출력층을 기본으로 하여, 각각 10개와 20개의 노드를 가진 두 개의 은닉층을 가진 회로망을 구성하였다. 또한 입력이 온도와 압력 두 가지의 경우에 대하여 검토하였다. 제안된 신경회로망을 사용한 결과 엔탈피, 엔트로피의 백분율오차가 대부분 ${\pm}$0.005%, 비체적은 ${\pm}$0.02%, 압력과 온도는 특별한 몇 개를 제외하고는 ${\pm}$0.02% 범위 내로 수렴되었다. 이 결과로부터 냉매를 함수근사하는데 있어서 신경회로망이 아주 강력한 수단이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The carbon dioxide properties change sharply near the critical or pseudo-critical point in the heat transfer processes. The reduction in turbulent, convective heat transfer parameters observed in some supercritical data and in experiments with common gases can be due to property variation, acceleration, buoyancy or combinations of these phenomena, depending on the conditions of the applications. In this study, the measurement for the secondary flow driven by buoyancy was carried out on the supercritical carbon dioxide turbulent flows in the different boundary condition with the constant mass flow rate. The available measuring techniques were used to clarify the behaviour of any supercritical fluid. Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) and a special device was used to measure the secondary velocity and turbulent characteristics of the supercritical flows.

A computer program was developed for simulating performance(capacity, power consumption and etc.) of air-conditioners using compressor, fin-tube heat exchanger and capillary tube. The program consists of five modules, condenser, evaporator, compressor, capillary tube simulation modules and properties modules of refrigerant and moist air, The present program is focused on R22 only, however can be easily extended for other refrigerants such as R407C and R410A just by adding property modules. The compressor simulation module utilizes performance maps supplied by manufacturers-map-based model. The condenser and evaporator simulation modules are modeled using tube-by-tube method. Simulation results(capacity and power consumption) were compared with calorimeter test results of actual air-conditioners of window and split types, where more than 82% of the data lied within ${\pm}5$% of the predicted results.

In this study, flow structure in a two-stage centrifugal compressor for a turbo-chiller with the refrigerant, R134a, was numerically investigated at the design point of the compressor using a commercial code. Flow characteristics in the passages of impeller, diffuser and return channel were analyzed in detail including velocity vector, secondary flow, Mach number and pressure contours in blade spanwise and meridional plane for each stage. The estimation on the one-dimensional output from the preliminary design and three-dimensional shape of the impeller blade and the meridional shape of the return channel were performed through the flow analysis, while some numerical schemes and techniques including Multiple Frames of Reference technique, real gas property data and inlet boundary condition changes, which were used in CFD, were compared with their features. The results will be used as reference data for a new design of 3-D impeller shape to improve R134a compressor performance.

Coefficient of performance (COP) for two-stage compression system is investigated in this paper to develop seawater ice machine. The system performance is analyzed with respect to degrees of superheating and subcooling, condensing and evaporating temperatures, compression and mechanical efficiencies and mass flow ratio in an inter-cooler. The main results are summarized as follows : The COP of the system grows when the mass flow ratio, subcooling degree and evaporating temperature edge up. Contrariwise, the system performance descends in case that superheating degree and condensing temperature increase. The most effective factor for the COP is the mass flow rate ratio. Each refrigerant has different limitation for a value of the mass flow ratio in the inter-cooler because of difference in material property.

This paper is an interim report on the investigation of thermodynamic properties of $CO_2$/oil mixture refrigerant. First, liquid density of POE (poly-ol ester) and PAG (poly alkylene glycol) were measured and expressed as a function of temperature. Then, a solubility equation was developed which enables us to calculate the weight fraction of $CO_2$ for the mixture in a liquid state. An experimental apparatus with a cell was constructed to measure P-$\upsilon$-T-$\chi$ data for $CO_2$/oil mixture. The volume of the cell was determined using a certain formula considering change in volume as a function of temperature and pressure. Then, experimental data were obtained over the temperatures $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$ with various mole fractions. Finally, assuming a primitive model of ideal gas, the volume of $CO_2$/oil mixture was predicted with a relatively larger error of 5.05% for $CO_2$/PAG and 8.81% for $CO_2$/POE. The volume of $CO_2$/oil mixtures would be better predicted using an appropriate equation of state, of which results will be reported soon.
