Recently, the technologies to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have attracted significant attention. In this paper, thermodynamic performance analysis of combined cycles consisting of ammonia Rankine cycle (AWR) and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with LNG Rankine cycle to recover low-grade heat source and the cold energy of LNG. The mathematical models are developed and the effects of the important system parameters such as turbine inlet pressure, ammonia mass fraction, working fluid on the system performance are systematically investigated. The results show that the thermal efficiency of AWR-LNG cycle is higher but the total power production of ORC-LNG cycle is higher.

In this paper, the power generation efficiency increase has been studied for a Rankine cycle using both supercritical carbon dioxide as a working fluid and LNG as a coolant with PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Aveva company. Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling of the power generation cycle using LNG cold heat. Power generation efficiency was increased from 24.82% to 57.76% when using LNG as a coolant for supercritical carbon dioxide power generation cycle.

Comparative studies between single- and two-stage expansion process using LNG cold heat have been performed for a closed Rankine power generation cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Schneider Electric Company was used, and the Peng-Robinson equation of state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling and optimization of the power generation cycle using LNG cold heat. In two-stage power generation cycle, 6.7% more power was obtained compared to that of single-stage power generation cycle through the optimization works.

In this study, a computer simulation work has been performed for the separation of electronic grade highly pure carbon dioxide more than 7 N purity through a cryogenic distillation process. For the cold utility as a cooling medium for a condenser of the cryogenic distillation column, propylene was utilized as a refrigerant in the vapor-recompression refrigeration cycle. Through this work, it was concluded that the cryogenic distillation column with two stage compression and refrigeration cycle were essential to obtain a highly-pure liquefied CO₂.

In this study, we compared the performance of several refrigeration cycles using different refrigerants and utilizing the cold heat of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for the liquefaction of carbon dioxide. The final conditions for the liquefied CO₂ were set to -20℃ and 20 bar. The refrigerants used included R404a, ammonia, propane, and propylene using a vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. For the refrigeration cycle, the CO₂ at room temperature and pressure was compressed in a two-stage compression process with an intermediate cooling stage using a refrigeration unit. To compare with the liquefaction process using refrigeration, we compressed the CO₂ to 8 bar in a single compression stage and cooled it to around -50℃ using the cold heat of the LNG before liquefying it. Results showed that using ammonia as the refrigerant required the least amount of compressor power for the liquefaction process, and the heat transfer area of the evaporator was the smallest when using propylene as the refrigerant. Using the cold heat of LNG instead of refrigeration using R404a resulted in approximately 69% less energy consumption.

Reliable $H_2$ supply is necessary for entering a $H_2$ society. Among the various $H_2$ storage and transportation methods, liquid organic $H_2$ carrier (LOHC) is in the spotlight because of a lot of advantages compared to conventional one such as compressed $H_2$ and liquefied $H_2$. Therefore, we performed preliminary economic analysis of $H_2$ supply cost using LOHC for a $H_2$ production capacity of $300Nm^3\;h^{-1}$ employing itemized cost estimation and sensitivity analysis to evaluate economic viability of this technology in Korea.

The core of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier cargo containment system (CCS) is to store and transport LNG safely under temperatures below -163 degrees Celsius. The secondary barrier of the LNG CCS is adopted to prevent LNG leakage from CCS to the ship's hull structure. Recently, as the size of the LNG CCS increases, various studies have been conducted on the applied temperature and load ranges. The present study investigates the working condition-dependent bonding strength of the PU15 adhesives of the secondary barrier. In addition, the mechanical performance is analyzed at a cryogenic temperature of -170 degrees Celsius, and the failure surface and failure mode are investigated depending on the working condition of the bonded process. Even though the RSB and FSB-based fracture mode was confirmed, the results showed that all the tested scenarios satisfied the minimum requirement of the regulation.

전세계적으로 수소 충전 스테이션 구축에 많은 투자와 지원을 하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 수소는 폭발범위가 넓고 확산이 빠른 기체이다. 본 연구에서는 액화수소를 취급하는 소규모~대규모 충전스테이션을 대상으로, 사고시 발생하는 VCE로 인한 피해영향범위를 산출하고, 프로빗 모델을 통해 주변의 인적, 물적 피해를 예측하였다. 더불어, 벤트스택 끝단에서 발생 가능한 Jet fire를 시나리오로 선정하여 최적 높이를 설정하였다. 피해영향범위는 관심과압 6.9kPa을 기준으로 하여, 소규모 저장시설의 경우 8.24m, 중규모 14.10m, 대규모 22.38m이다. 폐출혈로 인한 인체 피해는 소규모와 중규모가 각각 50m, 대규모 100m였으며, 구조물 손상에 따른 피해는 소규모 200m, 중규모 300m 및 대규모 500m이다. 벤트스택의 최적높이는 소규모 4.7m, 중규모 8.8m 및 대규모 16.9m이다.

양이온성(C), 음이온성(A) 및 비이온성(N) 계면활성제 각각을 주형물질로 사용하여 중형기공성 알루미나 (A-C, A-A 및 A-N)를 제조한 후, 이를 담체로 활용하여 일반적인 함침법으로 담지 니켈촉매(Ni/A-C, Ni/A-A 및 Ni/A-N)를 제조하였으며, 이를 액화천연가스의 수증기 개질반응에 의한 수소 제조에 적용하였다. 소성된 촉매에서 니켈종은 계면활성제의 종류에 상관없이 중형기공성 알루미나 담체의 표면에 균일하게 분산되었다. 하지만 환원된 촉매에서 니켈과 알루미나 담체 간의 상호작용 세기는 계면활성제의 종류에 밀접하게 의존하였다. 액화천연가스 전환율 및 건가스 중 수소가스 조성은 Ni/A-C < Ni/A-A < Ni/A-N의 순으로 증가하였다. 환원된 촉매 상의 니켈 비표면적이 증가할수록 반응활성 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 제조된 촉매중에서 니켈 비표면적이 가장 높은 Ni/A-N 촉매가 가장 높은 반응환성을 나타내었다.

This paper represents an analysis of the economic impact of firing natural gas/diesel and natural gas/by-product oil mixtures in diesel engine power plants. The objects of analysis is a power plant with electricity generation capacity (300 kW). Using performance data of original diesel engines, the fuel consumption characteristics of the duel fuel engines were simulated. Then, economic assessment was carried out using the performance data and the net present value method. A special focus was given to the evaluation of fuel cost saving when firing natural gas/diesel and natural gas/by-product oil mixtures instead of the pure diesel firing case. Analyses were performed by assuming fuel price changes in the market as well as by using current prices. The analysis results showed that co-firing of natural gas/diesel and natural gas/by-product oil would provide considerable fuel cost saving, leading to meaningful economic benefits.
