Heat exchanger tube array in a heat recovery steam generator is exposed to the hot exhaust gas flow and it could cause the flow induced vibration, which could damage the heat exchanger tube array. It is needed for the structural safe operation of the heat exchanger to establish the characteristics of flow induced vibration in the tube array. The researches for the flow induced vibration of typical heat exchangers have been conducted and the nondimensional PSD(Power Spectral Density) function with the Strouhal number, fD/U, had been derived by experimental method. The present study examined the results of the previous experimental researches for the nondimensional PSD characteristics by CFD analysis and the basis for the application of flow induced vibration to the heat recovery steam generator tube array would be prepared from the present CFD analysis. For the previous mentioned purpose, the present CFD analysis introduced a single circular cylinder and calculated with the unsteady laminar flow over the cylinder. The characteristics of vortex shedding and lift fluctuation over the cylinder was investigated. The derived nondimensional PSD was compared with the results of the previous experimental researches and the characteristics of lift PSD over a single circular cylinder was established from the present CFD study.

A heat exchanger tube array in a heat recovery steam generator is exposed to hot exhaust gas flow that can cause flow induced vibrations, which could damage the heat exchanger tube array. The characteristics of flow induced vibration in the tube array need to be established for the structural safe operation of a heat exchanger. Several studies of the flow induced vibrations of typical heat exchangers have been conducted and the nondimensional PSD (Power Spectral Density) function with the Strouhal number, fD/U, had been derived using an experimental method. The present study examined the results of the previous experimental research on the nondimensional PSD characteristics by CFD analysis and the basis for the application of flow induced vibration to the heat recovery steam generator tube array was determined from the present CFD analysis. The present CFD analysis introduced circular cylinder tube array and calculated using unsteady laminar flow for the tube array. The characteristics of lift and drag fluctuations over the cylinder tube array was investigated. The derived nondimensional lift and drag PSD was compared with the results of the previous experimental research and the characteristics of lift and drag PSD for a circular cylinder tube array was established from the present CFD study.

Most current ships have adopted on-board diesel generators to produce electricity, but the overall efficiency of equipment is down to about 50% due to thermal losses from operations such as exhaust gas, jacket water cooler, scavenge air cooler, etc. Recently, fuel cells have been highlighted as a promising technology to reduce the effect on the environment and have a higher efficiency. Therefore, this paper suggested a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)-gas turbine (GT) using waste heat from a SOFC and SOFC-GT-steam turbine (ST) with Rankine cycle. To compare both configurations, the fuel flow rate, current density, cell voltage, electrical power, and overall efficiency were evaluated at different operating loads. The overall efficiency of both SOFC hybrid systems was higher than the conventional system.

In this study, the performance of the $5Nm^3/hr$ compact type steam reformer which was developed for application of fuel cell or hydrogen station was evaluated in terms of gas process efficiency. For these purposes, reforming efficiency and total efficiency with system load change were analyzed. The reforming efficiency was calculated from the total molar flow of hydrogen output over total fuel flow input to the reformer and the burner on the higher heating value(HHV). In the case of the total efficiency, recovered heat at the heat recovery exchanger was considered. From the results, it was known that system performance was stable, because methane conversion showed the a slight decline which is about 2% though increasing system load to full. Reforming efficiency was increased from 20% to 58%, respectively as increasing system load from 10% to 90%. It was found that total efficiency was higher then reforming efficiency because of terms of heat recovered. As a results, it was known that total efficiency was increased form 75% to 83% at the 10% and 90% system load, respectively. From these results, it is concluded that compact steam reformer which is composed of stacking plate-type reactors is suitable to on-site hydrogen generator or to fuel cell application because of quick start within 1 hr and good performance.

본 논문은 복합사이클 발전플랜트의 폐열회수 보일러 최적운전 및 최적설계에 대한 새로운 접근 방법을 도출하기 위해 폐열회수 보일러에서 발생되는 증기로 증기터빈을 구동하는 하부사이클 효율을 검토하였다. 열역학 제1법칙 해석을 통해 하부사이클 에너지 평형을 검토하였고, 열역학 제2법칙을 통해 엑서지 평형을 검토하였다. 하부사이클 효율이 최대가 되는 폐열회수 보일러를 설계하기 위해서는 열역학 제1법칙을 해석할 경우 하부사이클 전체를 해석하여야 함을 알 수 있다. 하지만, 열역학 제2법칙을 통한 엑서지 해석을 행할 경우 하부사이클 효율이 최대가 되는 증발온도와 폐여회수 보일러에서 소모되는 엑서지가 최소가 되는 점이 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문을 통해 폐열회수 보일러에서 소모되는 엑서지 해석을 통해 하부사이클 효율이 최대가 되는 폐열회수 보일러 최적화가 가능함을 알 수 있다.

Diverging channel from gas burner exit to the inlet section of Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) has been re-designed for 1 MW system. To improve the uniformity in velocity and temperature distribution of existing design(Case A and B) of 300 kW HRSG system, two additional test geometries have been chosen for the numerical simulation. At first, gas burner exit section has been centered to the inlet section of boiler(Case C) and uniformity has been improved considerably. Secondly, the diverging channel length can be further reduced for compact geometry with new guide vane design (Case D and E). Proposed design shows overall improvement in uniformity in velocity and temperature distribution compared to existing one.

최근들어 전력 소비량이 크게 늘어나자 정부는 원활한 전력 공급을 위해 제5차 및 제6차 전력수급계획을 세우고 2022년까지 발전소 건설을 목표로 함에 따라 전국 곳곳에서 발전소 건설공사가 한창이다. 이 중 PMP(주)가 경기도 파주시에 건설 중인 장문 천연가스발전소는 1,820MW 규모의 천연가스복합화력 발전소다. 지난 6월 1일 착공에 들어가 오는 2017년 3월 말까지 완공될 예정이다. 장문 천연가스발전소는 제5차 전력 수급기본계획에 따른 국가 기간산업으로 수도권 북부지역에 전력을 충분히 공급함은 물론 주변지역의 대규모 산업단지와 기업체에도 공급 가능성이 큰 대규모 발전소다. 또한 SK그룹은 풍부한 발전소 운영경험을 기반으로 고효율 발전설비를 갖춤으로써 전력시장에서 높은 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다. (주)세일엔지니어링(대표 오세현)은 장문 현장에서 #11, #12의 2기 HRSG(Heat Recovery steam Generator) 설치공사를 SK건설(현장소장 이원기)로부터 하도급 받아 시공하고 있다. 본지는 2017년 3월 말까지의 완공을 목표로 무결점 시공에 올인하고 있는 (주)세일엔지니어링의 주남식 현장소장을 만났다.
