In this study, energy conversion from thermal energy to mechanical power by using n-pentane was tested and exergy variation, cycle number, water quantity pumped and thermal efficiency were analyzed. The energy conversion was done and the water head could be ten meters on the experimental conditions. The operating temperature range of cycle was recommended to be around the liquid-vapour saturation temperature of the working fluid on the viewpoint of the maximum work. The cycle diagram was analyzed by the exergy analysis. For the constant water head, the cycle number was decreased and the water quantity per day was increased and thermal efficiency become higher when the water quantity per cycle become increasing. For the constant pumping water quantity per cycle, cycle number and the water quantity per day was decreased and the thermal efficiency become higher because the saturation temperature become higher when the water head become higher.

유기랭킨사이클에서 팽창기는 전체 성능과 사이클 효율에 큰 영향을 미치는 중요 부품이다. 유기랭킨사이클에 적용되는 팽창기는 입구 압력과 온도가 팽창기 기계적 특성이나 작동유체 특성 등에 의해 제한받게 되는데, 유기랭킨사이클은 팽창기 입구압력과 온도에 따라 사이클 출력, 흡수 열량 및 효율 등이 변화하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 용적형 팽창기가 적용되는 작동유체 냉매 R134a인 유기랭킨사이클의 성능이 팽창기 입구조건에 따라 유기랭킨사이클의 성능이 어떻게 변화하는지 이론적으로 비교 분석을 수행하였다.

In this paper, Performance of 1MW OTEC system using R32 with varying seawater temperature range is studied. Steady state cycle is designed and its output and generation efficiency were 1,014kW and 2.72%, respectively. Compared to dynamic cycle, system performance and change during long term operation is studied. The simulation is performed by decreasing surface seawater temperature from $29^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$ with 20 minute of reaction time. Dynamic cycle with same condition applied to steady state cycle and it showed output and efficiency of 1,020kW and 2.75% respectively. Seawater temperature decreased from $29^{\circ}C$ and the vapor fraction of refrigerant decreased below 1 at $28^{\circ}C$. While the vapor fraction was above 1, the turbine output decreased by 0.017kW per second. After the seawater temperature reached $26.2^{\circ}C$, the turbine output decreased by 1.03kW per second. However, Driving the turbine below the saturation temperature caused the occurrence of surging and the influx of liquid refrigerant. When the liquid separator having a capacity of 1.0 m3 was used, the flow into the turbine was confirmed after 5 minutes from the first liquid refrigerant coming into the separator.

Basic design of a 50USRT(175㎾) triple effect absorption chiller driven by hot gas has been carried out for both parallel and series flow cycles. Parallel flow cycle showed higher COP, however, the temperature in the generator was also higher than that in series flow cycle. Dynamic operation behavior of a parallel flow system at off-design conditions, such as the change in heat transfer medium temperature or the construction change of the system components, has been investigated in detail. It was found that the cooling capacity was seriously decreased by reducing hot gas flow rate and UA-value in the high temperature generator. However, the system COP was improved, because thermal load in the system components was reduced. The COP and the cooling capacity was found to be improved as cooling water temperature decreased or chilled water temperature increased. The optimum ratio of solution distribution could be suggested by considering the COP, the cooling capacity and the highest temperature in the system, which is critical for corrosion.

Recently a novel cycle named organic flash cycle (OFC) has been proposed which has improved potential for power generation from low-temperature heat sources. This study carries out thermodynamic performance analysis of OFC using various working fluids for recovery of low-grade heat sources in the form of sensible energy. Special attention is focused on the optimum flash temperature at which the exergy efficiency has the maximum value. Under the optimal conditions with respect to the flash temperature, the thermodynamic performances of important system variables including mass flow ratio, separation ratio, heat addition, specific volume flow rate at turbine exit, and exergy efficiency are thoroughly investigated. Results show that the exergy efficiency has a peak value with respect to the flash temperature and the optimum working fluid which shows the best exergy efficiency varies with the operating conditions.

본 연구는 $H_2O/LiBr$와 $NH_3/H_2O$계를 사용하는 2단2원 흡수식 사이클의 특성에 관한 연구이다. 이 사이클은 2개의 단효용 사이클로 이루어져 있으며, 저온단의 흡수기와 응축기에서 얻어진 열을 고온단의 증발기에서 이용하는 사이클로서 저온단의 증발기 및 응축기의 온도, 재생기 온도, 열교환 온도차를 파라메터로 하여 계산한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 2단2원사이클의 성립범위를 확인하였으며 본 계산조건에서 $50{\sim}70^{\circ}C$의 승온폭을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 $50^{\circ}C$의 난방온도를 얻기위한 최적재생온도는 $105^{\circ}C$, 최대 COP를 얻기위한 저온측사이클의 응축압력은 $16^{\circ}C$, 그리고 이 조건에서 저온측 사이클의 응축압력을 단효용 사이클의 경우보다 낮게 억제하는 것이 가능함을 알았다.

Research in the field of health lighting has continued to advance to reproduce the color temperature of natural light which periodically changes. However, most of this research could only reproduce a uniform circadian color temperature of natural light, therefore failing to realize the characteristics of the circadian cycle of color temperature difference by latitude and longitude. To reproduce the color temperature of natural light on which the characteristics of a region are reflected, the collection technology of real-time characteristics of natural light is needed. If the color temperatures which are not within a periodical pattern due to climate changes, etc., are measured, it will be difficult to judge the occurrence (presence) of the anomalies and to reproduce the circadian cycle of the color temperature of natural light. Therefore, this study proposes an algorithm for judging the anomalies in real time based on the sliding window to reproduce the color temperature of natural light. First, the natural light characteristics DB collected through the on-site measurement were analyzed, the differential values at a one-minute interval were calculated and examined, and then representative color temperature circadian patterns by solar terms were drawn. The anomalies were then detected by the application of the sliding window that calculated the deviation of the color temperature for the measured color temperature data set, which was collected through RGB sensors, while moving along the time sequence. In addition, the presence of anomalies was verified through the comparison study between the detection results and the representative circadian cycle of the color temperature by solar term. The judgment method for the anomalies from the measured color temperature of natural light was proposed for the first time, confirming that the proposed method was capable of detecting the anomalies with an average accuracy of 94.6%.

Rankine cycle using ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid has attracted much attention, since it may be a very useful device to extract power from low-temperature heat source. In this work, the thermodynamic performance of regenerative ammonia-water Rankine cycle is thoroughly investigated based on the second law of thermodynamics and exergy analysis, when the energy source is low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy. In analyzing the power cycle, several key system parameters such as ammonia mass concentration in the mixture and turbine inlet pressure are studied to examine their effects on the system performance including exergy destructions or anergies of system components, efficiencies based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The results show that as the ammonia concentration increases, exergy exhaust increases but exergy destruction at the heat exchanger increases. The second-law efficiency has an optimum value with respect to the ammonia concentration.

This paper presents a new efficient approach to estimate the S-N type fatigue life assessment curve for S550 high strength steels under low-cycle actions at -60℃. The proposed approach combines a single set of monotonic tension test and one set of fatigue tests to determine the key material damage parameters in the continuum damage mechanics framework. The experimental program in this study examines both the material response under low-cycle actions. The microstructural mechanisms revealed by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) at the low temperature, furthermore, characterizes the effect due to different strain ratios and low temperature on the low-cycle fatigue life of S550 steels. Anchored on the experimental results, this study validates the S-N curve determined from the proposed approach. The S-N type curve determined from one set of fatigue tests and one set of monotonic tension tests estimates the fatigue life of all specimens under different strain ratios satisfactorily.
