A hydrogen liquefaction equipment by direct cooling has been designed and built at KIST. Cool-down characteristics and liquefaction performance of the equipment have been investigated. The hydrogen liquefaction equipment consists of a GM refrigerator, a liquefaction velssel, a radiation shield and a cryostat. It is found that the hydrogen starts to be liquefied in the liquefaction vessel after 40~50 minutes of cool-down from the gas state of 270K. The effect of natural convection phenomena of charged gas in liquefaction vessel on the cool-down characteristics is evaluated by comparing with those in vacuum of liquefaction vessel. It is seen that the cool-down time of a liquefaction vessel is substantially increased in vacuum environment of liquefaction vessel. The experiments have been performed for 1~5 atm of hydrogen pressure to investigate the influence of hydrogen pressure on the liquefaction rate and figure of merit(FOM). It is found that both liquefaction rate and FOM are increased as the charged hydrogen pressure is increased.

For the Korean design of the PCCS (passive containment cooling system) in an innovative PWR, the overall thermal resistance around a condenser tube is dominated by the heat transfer coefficient of steam condensation on the exterior surface. It has been reported, however, that the calculated heat transfer coefficients by thermal-hydraulic system codes were much lower than measured data in separate effect tests. In this study, a new empirical model of steam condensation in the presence of a noncondensable gas was implemented into the MARS-KS 1.4 code to replace the conventional Colburn-Hougen model. The selected correlation had been developed from condensation test data obtained at the JERICHO (JNU Experimental Rig for Investigation of Condensation Heat transfer On tube) facility, and considered the effect of the Grashof number for naturally circulating gas mixture and the curvature of the condenser tube. The modified MARS-KS code was applied to simulate the transient response of the containment equipped with the PCCS to the large-break loss-of-coolant accident. The heat removal performances of the PCCS and corresponding evolution of the containment pressure were compared to those calculated via the original model. Various thermal-hydraulic parameters associated with the natural circulation operation through the heat transport circuit were also investigated.

Stoichiometric combustion in spark ignition (SI) engines has an advantage of meeting future stringent emission regulations. However, the drawback of the combustion is a lower thermal efficiency than that of lean burn. In this study, energy losses in a natural gas stoichiometric SI engine generator were analyzed to establish a strategy for improving the generating efficiency (GE). The energy losses were investigated based on dynamometer and load bank experiments. As the intake manifold pressure increased in the dynamometer experiment, the brake thermal efficiency (BTE) increased mainly due to the reduction in the pumping and mechanical losses. In the load bank experiment, the generating power and GE increased with the increased intake manifold pressure. The generating power and GE were lower than the brake power and BTE due to the cooling fan power and the losses in the generator.

In this paper, the temperature characteristics of mold transformer for the distribution power system have been analyzed by using computational fluid dynamics(CFD). The model has been modeled by coil, cores, insulating materials and frames about 3MVA grade mold transformer and analyzed the temperature distribution of the structure with a heat fluid. The fluid, which is incompressible ideal gas, is analyzed as a turbulent flow phenomenon on the assumption that it is natural cooling of transformer cooling system. Through this study, by examining the temperature distribution and hot-spot of the structure field of the mold transformer, cooling design and temperature distribution information, which are demanded for designing are estimated.

The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop during 9as cooling process of $CO_2$ (R744) in a helically coiled copper tube with the inner diameter of 4.55 mm and outer diameter of 6.35 mm were investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump. a mass flow meter a pre-heater and a helically coiled type gas cooler (test section). The refrigerant mass fluxes are varied from 200 to $800kg/m^2s$ and the inlet pressures of gas cooler are 7.5 to 10.0 MPa. The heat transfer coefficients of $CO_2$ in a helically coiled tube are higher than those in a horizontal tube. The Pressure drop of $CO_2$ in the gas cooler shows a relatively good agreement with those predicted by Ito's correlation developed for single-phase in a helically coiled tube. The local heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ agrees well with the correlation by Pitla et al. However. at the region near pseudo-critical temperature. the experiments indicate higher values than the Pitla et al correlation. Therefore, various experiments in helically coiled tubes have to be conducted and it is necessary to develop the reliable and accurate prediction determining the heat transfer and pressure drop of $CO_2$ in a helically coiled tube.

수소액화를 위한 직접냉각장치를 개발하고, 이의 성능특성을 시험하였다. 직접냉각장치는 액화용기, 복사쉴드, 저온조와 GM냉동기 등으로 구성하였다. 개발된 액화장치의 cool-down 및 warm-up특성이 상세하게 규명되었다. 본 냉각장치에서 냉각이 시작된지 약 45분 후, 액화용기내의 수소가 액화되기 시작함을 확인하였다. 또한 동일한 실험을 기체헬륨에 대하여 수행하였으며, 기체헬륨은 주어진 작동조건에서 액화되지 않으므로 수소의 경우와는 다른 cool-down 및 warm-up 특성을 보였다. 충전된 기체의 자연대류현상의 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 액화용기내에 진공상태를 유지하면서 시험하였다. 이때 진공상태에서의 액화용기의 냉각시간은 현저히 증가함을 보였다.

친환경 에너지원으로 고려되고 있는 천연가스의 수요가 증가하고 있고 이와 동시에 천연가스의 공급을 위한 대규모 파이프라인의 시장 규모 또한 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 대규모 파이프라인의 부식은 천연가스 운송의 효율성을 저하시킨다. 이에 본 연구는 천연가스 공급용 대규모 파이프라인을 위한 에너지 자립형 고효율 부식방지 기술에 대한 특허의 정량분석을 통해 관련 기술의 특허권 확보을 위한 전략을 수립하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 본 특허 기술동향 조사에서는, 2018년 6월까지 출원, 공개 및 등록된 한국, 미국, 일본 및 유럽 특허를 대상으로 분석하였으며, 전문가토의를 거쳐 기술분류체계 및 분류기준을 마련하였다. 천연가스 대규모 파이프라인의 부식방지를 위한 외부전원으로 연료전지를 이용하기 위해, 1) 파이프라인의 분기 구조와 설비 설계(감압기/압축기/열교환기) 그리고 2) 고압 천연가스의 감압/예열과 가압/냉각 기술을 구비하는 에너지 제어 시스템 및 방법으로 권리화를 시도해 볼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

다중관식 헬리컬 코일형 가스냉각기내 $CO_2$의 열유량과 압력강하에 대해서 실험적으로 조사하였다. $CO_2$와 냉각수의 유량은 각각 0.06~0.075kg/s이고, 가스냉각기의 냉각압력은 8~10 MPa이다. $CO_2$의 열유량은 냉각수 질량유량, $CO_2$의 질량유량과 냉각압력에 비례하여 증가한다. $CO_2$의 압력강하는 냉각수와 $CO_2$의 질량유량이 감소할수록 감소하지만, $CO_2$의 냉각압력이 증가할수록 감소한다. 다중관식 헬리컬 코일형 가스냉각기내 $CO_2$의 열유량과 압력강하는 각각 이중관식 가스냉각기보다 상당히 높게 또는 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 다중관식 헬리컬 코일형 가스냉각기에 $CO_2$를 적용하는 경우에는 가스냉각기의 고효율화, 고성능화, 컴팩트화가 가능할 것이다.

Water mist fire suppression systems which use relatively small droplets of water with high injection pressure are increasingly being used in wider applications because of its greater efficiency, low flooding damage and low toxicity. However, the performance of the system significantly relies on the water mist characteristics and it requires better understanding of fire suppression mechanism of water mist. In the present study, computational fluid dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate cooling performance of water mist in heated chamber. The gas phase was prepared with natural convection heat transfer model for incompressible ideal case and then the effects of water mist injection characteristics on cooling capabilities were investigated upon the basis of the pre-determined temperature field. For the simulation of water mist behavior, Lagrangian discrete phase model was employed by using a commercial code, FLUENT. Smaller droplet sizes, greater injection angles and higher flow rates provided relatively higher cooling performance.
