This paper presents a method for optimal placement of series condenser in order to improve the power system transient stability using genetic algorithms(GAs). In applying GAs, this approach utilizes two kinds of strings, one is coded by a binary finite-length for the selection of lines to install series condenser, the other is coded by a real value for the determination of injected condenser capacitance. For the formulation. this paper considers multi-objective function which is the critical energy as decelerating energy in power systems and the total injected condenser capacitance. The proposed method is applied to 9-bus, 18-line, 3-machine model system to show its effectiveness in determining the locations to install series condenser and the series condenser capacitance to be injected, simultaneously.

A numerical study was performed to predict refrigerant charge amount in a mini-channel condenser for a R410A residential air-conditioning system. Multi-channel flat tubes with 12 mini-channels of 1.17 mm average hydraulic diameter for each tube were applied to the condenser. The condenser consisted of 3 passes, and the first, second, and third pass had 44, 19, and 11 tubes, respectively. Each pass was connected by a vertical header. In this study, the condenser was divided into 410 finite volumes, and analyzed by an $\varepsilon$-NTU method. With thermophysical properties and void fraction models for each volume element, the R410A amount distribution and a total charge amount in the condenser were calculated. The predicted total charge amount was compared with the experimentally measured charge amount under a standard ARI A condition. The developed model could predict the charge amount in the mini-channel condenser within prediction errors from -23.9% to -3.0%. Air velocity distribution at the condenser face was considered as non-uniform and uniform by the simulation model, and its results showed that the air velocity distribution could significantly influence the charge amount and vapor phase distribution in the condenser.

최근 디지털 광원으로서 각광받고 있는 고출력 LED(Light Emitting Diode)는 저소비전력과 장수명 그리고 점 소등 속도도 빨라서 고출력 LED의 효율을 향상시켜 일반 조명용으로 사용하려는 노력이 두드러지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 온도변화에 따른 전압 변동분만을 출력 콘덴서에 저장함으로서 출력 측에 사용하던 전해 콘덴서를 전압용량이 작고 수명이 긴 MLCC(Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) 사용이 가능한 LED 구동 드라이브를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 LED 구동 드라이브는 기존의 부스트 DC/DC 컨버터의 기본 토폴로지에서 출력 콘덴서를 입력 전원과 직렬로 연결하여 LED 광원의 온도변화에 따른 전압 변동분만을 출력 콘덴서에 저장함으로서 출력 콘덴서로 기존수명이 낮은 전해 콘덴서 대신 전력 손실이 적고 수명이 긴 MLCC 사용이 가능하게 된다.

Condenser tubes are mainly produced by precision extrusion with a porthole die and are used in the flow pass of refrigerant cooling systems in automobiles. The recent technical trend of condenser tube requires the tube to be of more multi cellizing, high strength and small size, and to increase the heat transfer area and heat efficiency. Hence, this paper is shown that the results of FE-simulation are in good agreement with the experimental ones. Finally, the extrusion die shape is proposed through analysis of FE-simulation and performance of trial extrusion. Chamber shape dimension and initial temperatures of die is adjusted analysis results. And the possibility of extrusion is estimated that forming load, welding pressure and stress analysis of die in this paper. The validity of simulated results was verified into extrusion experiments on the condenser tubes.

A novel design process of a parallel multi-flow type air-cooled condenser of a dual-loop waste heat recovery system with Rankine steam cycles for improving the fuel efficiency of gasoline automobiles has been investigated focusing on reduction of the pressure drop inside the micro-tubes. The low temperature condenser plays a role to dissipate heat from the system by condensing the low temperature loop working fluid sufficiently. However, the refrigerant has low evaporation temperature enough to recover the waste from engine coolant of about $100^{\circ}C$ but has small saturation enthalpy so that excessive mass flow rate of the LT working fluid, e.g., over 150 g/s, causes enormously large pressure drop of the working fluid to maintain the heat dissipation performance of more than 20 kW. This paper has dealt with the scheme to design the low temperature condenser that has reduced pressure drop while ensuring the required thermal performance. The number of pass, the arrangement of the tubes of each pass, and the positions of the inlet and outlet ports on the header are most critical parameters affecting the flow uniformity through all the tubes of the condenser. For the purpose of the performance predictions and the parametric study for the LT condenser, we have developed a 1-dimensional user-friendly performance prediction program that calculates feasibly the phase change of the working fluid in the tubes. An example is presented through the proposed design process and compared with an experiment.

The condensate in a single vertical reflux condenser with a tube of the large L/D ratio could carried over in both ways of fill-and-dump and the annular occurrent to steam flow. From the experimental observation made, a theoretical model based on the lumped parameter method is made to understand the dynamics of the reflux condenser. The present model predicts well the time period of fill-and-dump model and the natural vibrational frequency of the water column. This could be a first step to understand the complex phenomena in the reflux condenser such as itd improved thermal performance due to the well controlled pulsation in steam flow and the tube-to tube effect in the multi tube reflux condenser.

The objective of the present study is to predict the characteristics of heat and mass transfer around an evaporative condenser. Numerical calculations have been performed using multi-zone method to investigate heat transfer rate and evaporation rate with the variation of inlet condition(velocity, relative humidity and temperature) of the moist air, the flow rate of the cooling water and the shape of the condenser tube. From the results it is found that the profile of heat flux is the same as that of evaporation rate since heat transfer along the gas-liquid interface is dominated by the transport of latent heat in association with the vaporization(evaporation) of the liquid film. The evaporation rate and heat transfer rate is increased as mass flow rate increases or relative humidity and temperature decrease respectively. But the flow rate of the cooling water hardly affect the evaporation rate and heat flux along the gas-liquid interface. The elliptic tube which the ratio of semi-minor axis to semi-major axis is 0.8 is more effective than the circular tube because the pressure drop is decreased. But the evaporation rate and heat flux shown independency on the tube shape.

In this study, we have carried out development and performance evaluation of optimized MEMS(Multi-Effect-Multi-Stage) fresh water generator with $7m^2/day$ for solar thermal desalination system. The developed MEMS was composed of high temperature part and low temperature part. This arrangement has the advantage of increasing the availability of solar thermal energy. The MEMS consists of 2 steam generators, 5 evaporators, and 1 condenser. Tubes of heat exchanger used for steam generators, evaporators and condenser were manufactured by corrugated tubes. The performance of the MEMS was tested through in-door experiments, using an electric heater as heat source. The experimental conditions for each parameters were $20^{\circ}C$ for sea water inlet temperature to condenser, $8.16m^2$ /hour sea water inlet volume flow rate, $70^{\circ}C$ for hot water inlet temperature to generator of high temperature part, 3.6 4.8, 6.0 $m^2/hour$ for hot water inlet volume flow rate. As a result, The developed MEMS was required about 85 kW heating source to produce $7m^2/day$ of fresh water. It was analyzed that the performance ratio of MEMS was about 2.6.
