Various correlations of saturated vapor density in a truncated power series form are tested and compared in this study. Saturated vapor density correlation can be expressed relating logarithmic reduced density to the reduced temperature. Five types of correlation has been investigated using saturated vapor density data for 22 pure substance refrigerants from ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Reftigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.) property tables and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Chemistry Webbook. Correlations are fitted to the data points by least squares method. Data points are equally weighted. The best type of correlation among the five types is suggested. The results obtained indicate that the best correlations with 3, 4, and 5 terms yield average AAD's (Average Absolute Deviation) of 0.27%, 0.04%, and 0.02%, respectively, while widely used conventional correlations with 3, 4, and 5 terms yield those of 1.19%, 0.61%, and 0.17%. The suggested type of correlation could reduce the number of terms while improving performance.

The saturated vapor density correlation proposed here relates logarithmic density to the inverse of temperature. Its performance is examined correlating the date listed in the ASHTAE tables for 40 refrigerants. The correlation equation is valid over the entire range where data point exist and gives better results than a conventional equation with the same number of adjustable coefficients. Number of terms in the equation is a variable so that great flexibility can be given to the representation of data.

The thermodynamic properties of R134a, the prospective R12 alternative, have been computerized using Martin-Hou equation of state and the coefficients given by Willson-Basu. Several experimental results in literatures for PVT data, saturated vapor pressure, saturated liquid density are compared with the calculated results to investigate the accuracy. The average deviation (max. deviation) is 0.13% (0.25%) for saturated liquid density, 0.25% (0.8%) for PVT data. Thermodynamic properties, enthalpy, entropy are compared with the NIST's. The maximum percent difference is 3% for saturated liquid enthalpy, 1.5% for saturated vapor enthalpy, 4% saturated liquid entropy, and 0.7% for saturated vapor entropy. Correction of W-B's coefficients and inclusion of the sixth term of M-H EOS for improvement of accuracy are recommended. R134a and R12 are compared with respect to refrigeration performance. COP's are different from each other within 3%. Refrigeration effect of R134a is superior to that of R12 but refrigeration capacity of R134a is inferior to that of R12 because the volumetric efficiency of the system using R134a is lower than that of the system using R12.

Dolomite and quartz, starting materials, were mixed by the mole ratio of dolomite versus quartz with 1 : 0, 1 : 1, and 2 : 1, and of which was heated under saturated water vapor pressure of $20kg/cm^2(211.4^{\circ}C)$, $80kg/cm^2(293.6/C)$ and $120kg/cm^2(323.1^{\circ}C)$, respectively, during 20 hours. The results of the hydrothermal syntheses are as follows: 1) calcite crystals were formed at all cases of the reation 2) brucite crystals were formed when dolomite was heated under the saturated vapor pressure of $80kg/cm^2$ during 20 hours. 3) talc, tremolite, xonotlite, and antigorite were formed under saturated vapor pressure of $80kg/cm^2$ by 20 hours reaction.

The existing theoretical models for steady two-dimensional free convective laminar film condensation of pure saturated or superheated vapor under atmospheric pressure on isothermal vertical wall have been reviewed. To investigate the effects such as inertia, thermal convective and liquid-vapor interface shear stress, the models of constant or variable properties in liquid film for condensation of saturated vapor are compared in detail with Nusselt model. Also, for condensation of superheated vapor, the effects of superheated temperature and variable properties in liquid and vapor layers are examined and then a new correlation is proposed to predict the heat transfer. The results are in good agreement with the Shang's correlation within 2% errors.

Numerical values of thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, dryness, volume, enthalpy and entropy are required in numerical analysis on evaluating the thermal performance. But the steam table itself cannot be used without modelling. From this point of view the neural network with function approximation characteristics can be an alternative. the multi-layer neural networks were made for saturated vapor region and superheated vapor region separately. For saturated vapor region the neural network consists of one input layer with 1 node, two hidden layers with 10 and 20 nodes each and one output layer with 7 nodes. For superheated vapor region it consists of one input layer with 2 nodes, two hidden layers with 15 and 25 nodes each and one output layer with 3 nodes. The proposed model gives very successful results with ${\pm}0.005%$ of percentage error for temperature, enthalpy and entropy and ${\pm}0.025%$ for pressure and specific volume. From these successful results, it is confirmed that the neural networks could be powerful method in function approximation of the steam table.

The purpose of research is to understand the characteristics of refrigeration system having a liquid-vapor phase separator after expansion device and precooling heat exchanger. After expansion process of typical refrigerant of freezer, R134a, the cold vapor of the expanded refrigerant mixture is separated in the liquid-vapor separator and introduced in the precooling heat exchanger to enable the liquid refrigerant to be subcooled. The analysis results showed that the increasing rate of refrigeration capacity and COP can be 8.6% and 1.4%, each. The cause of these performance improvements is due to the difference of the slope of saturated vapor and saturated liquid lines in Mollier diagram of refrigerant.

In this paper, the GPS precipitable water vapor was retrieved by estimating of GPS signal delay in the troposphere during the progress of heavy snowfall on the Gangwon Province, 2011. For this period, the time series analysis between GPS precipitable water vapor and fresh snow depth was accomplished. The time series and the comparison with the GPS precipitable water vapor and the fresh snow depth indicates that the temporal change of two variations is closely related to the progress of the heavy snowfall. Also, the periodicity of GPS precipitable water vapor using the wavelet transform method was showed a similar cycle of saturated water vapor pressure as the limitation of this study span. The result shows that the decrement of GPS precipitable water vapor was conflicted with the increment of fresh snow depth at two sites, Gangneung and Uljin. The correlation between the GPS precipitable water vapor and the saturated water vapor pressure for the event was showed a positive correlation, compare with the non-heavy snowfall periods.

Laser induced-exciplex-fluorescence (EXCIPLEX) proposed by Melton is used to visualize fuel vapor in spray combustion. However, in the EXCIPLEX method based on TMPD/naphthalene system, the TMPD : naphthalene ratio is strictly restricted to 1 : 9. In addition, fluorescence intensity due to the vapor phase is extremely weak. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a new laser-induced-excimer fluorescence (EXCIMER) method to visualize the liquid and vapor phases simultaneously. The spatial distributions of liquid and vapor in fuel spray suspended by ultrasonic waves are compared using the EXCIPLEX and EXCIMER methods. The correlation between fuel vapor concentration and fluorescence intensity is experimentally investigated by measuring the fluorescence intensity of saturated vapor formed over liquid fuel at a controlled temperature. These experimental results indicate that the EXCIMER method is effective for evaluating fuel vapor visualization in spray combustion. Furthermore, the quantitative distribution of fuel vapor concentration can be correctly estimated by the EXCIMER method.
