An experimental investigation was conducted to figure out the effects of the inlet air temperature on the combustion efficiency using the fuel grains which were highly loaded with boron carbide. The results showed that the normalized combustion efficiency increased with the inlet air temperature, apparently the result of enhanced combustion of the boron particles. Even though the combustion efficiency is increased, the overall efficiency through the semi-empirical method, is decreased with the increasing inlet air temperature. Brayton cycle analysis has been performed using the heat input parameter and combustor Mach number, those two parameters are important role for the performance and similar trends are shown at the experimental results.

A pressure control law to regulate mass flow rate of gas generator is suggested. The governing equation is modeled by considering the burning rate of solid propellant and the conservation equation of gas generator. And then, a classical control law is applied after verifying the accuracy of dynamic model through comparing with ground test and internal ballistic results. The results show degradation of performance as shown in typical time varying system. To overcome this problem, an adaptive scheme is suggested and the performance is verified through numerical simulation.

A conceptual design is carried out for a two-stage scramjet cruise vehicle flying at Mach 4 to investigate its feasibility. The design goal is to deliver a payload of 225 kg and to fly a range of about 500 km. It is accelerated to its cruising speed by the first stage using a solid rocket of 52.9 kN thrust 3.59 m in length. The second stage cruises using a kerosene-burning scramjet engine of 6.85 kN thrust, the vehicle being 7.55 m in length and 508 mm in width. The vehicle has a take-off weight of 2.1 tons, flies 500 km in 6 minutes at 17 km altitude.

Failure mechanisms for a highly filled elastomer were discussed, and the stip-yield and the inherent flaw models were applied to them. Then, failure assessment diagram methods were investigated by means of modified two models. Fracture toughness tests using CCT(center-cracked tension) specimens made of a highly filled elastomer were conducted to generate the failure assessment diagrams. The failure assessment diagram of the inherent flaw model was normalized in order to compare with that of the modified strip-yield model. From the comparison of two failure assessment diagrams, it was found that the failure assessment diagram of the modified inherent flaw model more conservatively assesses the failure than that of the modified strip-yield model.

A new solid oxidizer, pyridinium dinitramide (Py-DN) is a low toxic energetic material which can be utilized as a HPGP (high performance green propellant). In this work, Py-DN was synthesized using various starting materials including potassium sulfamate, pyridine hydrochloride, strong nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Physical and chemical properties of the Py-DN were characterized using UV-Vis, FT-IR and a thermal analyzer and their properties were compared to those of previously prepared salts including ammonium dinitramide[ADN, $NH_4N(NO_2)_2$] and guanidine dinitramide[GDN, $NH_2C(NH_2)NH_2N(NO_2)_2$] in our lab. Endothermic and exothermic decomposition temperatures of Py-DN were $77.4^{\circ}C$ and $144.7^{\circ}C$, respectively. The combustion caloric value was 1739 J/g, which is thermally more sensitive than that of conventional dinitramides. It may enable to lower the decomposition temperature, which can reduce preheating temperature required for satellite thruster applications.

In this study, combustion experiments of the End-Burning Hybrid Propulsion System using $GN_2O$(Gas Nitrous oxide)/HDPE were performed and the results were compared to those of the combustion experiments using GOX/HDPE. The regression rate of the solid fuel using $GN_2O$ is lower than that of the solid fuel using GOX since oxidizer inlet velocity of $GN_2O$ is lower than that of GOX. However, in case of using $GN_2O$, the characteristic velocity is higher than those of the GOX. The combustion chamber pressure and thrust were relatively kept constant during combustion.

SOFC 발전 시스템은 친환경 고효율 에너지 발전 미래 에너지기술로서 개발의 초점이 되고 있다. SOFC는 연료전지 발전 기술 중 최고효율과 최장 수명을 가지며 유일하게 기존 발전기술과 가격 경쟁이 가능한 것으로 알려지고 있다. 현재 분산 발전용으로 개발이 진행되고 있으며 향후 중앙발전, 휴대용, 가정용 및 수송용 등으로 그 시장이 확대될 것으로 예상된다. 분산 발전 SOFC 개발을 위해서는 시스템 Scale-up이 기술 확보가 관건이며 특히 스택 제조 비용의 2/3 이상을 차지하는 대면적 단전지 제조 공정 기술 개발이 필요하다. 단전지 대면적화는 원가 절감 및 성능 개선을 기대할 수 있게 하므로 분산 발전 SOFC 상용화를 위한 핵심 기술이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 국내 SOFC 연구는 시스템이나 소형 단전지 위주로 진행되어 왔으며 대면적 단전지 제조를 위한 핵심 공정 기술에 대한 연구는 취약한 상황이다. 또한 랩스케일의 소규모 연구를 뛰어넘는 양산 기술 개발에 대한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 또한 재료 및 공정 적합성을 요구하는 대면적 SOFC 단전지의 양산 기술 개발을 위해서는 원료 분말 및 기초소재의 국산화를 통한 제조 공정 윈도우를 확대하여 제조 수율을 향상하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 그동안 포스코파워(주)에서 대면적 SOFC 단전지 양산 기술 개발을 위해 추진 중인 $400cm^2$급 대면적 SOFC 단전지의 제조 및 성능에 대한 연구 결과를 발표하고자 한다. 또한 대형 단전지 제조 공정의 재현성, 상용화 수준의 성능, 내구성 및 경제성 확보를 위한 공정 개선을 위한 포스코파워(주)의 연구 현황 및 양산 기술 확보를 위한 제조 윈도우 확보 전략에 대해 발표하고자 한다.

The International Maritime Organization(IMO) recommends the active implementation of national policies on technological development and energy efficiency to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) in the international shipping sector. Such IMO environmental regulation policies have a great impact on the entire shipping sector and are also a heavy burden on ship's owners. The most reasonable way to curb GHG emissions from ships comes down to the development of zero-emission ships. In other words, the development of a fuel cell ship (FCS) driven by an eco-friendly fuel is an alternative that can escape the IMO regulations. Countries in Asia, Northern America, and Europe independently develop and produce PEMFC, and are pursuing international standardization by acquiring approval in principle from an internationally accredited registration authority. Currently, there are three types of fuel cells (FC) that are recommended for ships: a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC), and a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). In this study, PEMFC, which is expected to grow continuously in the global FC market, was analyzed domestic and international development trends, specifications, performance, and empirical cases applied to ships. In addition, when applying PEMFC to ships, it was intended to suggest matters to be considered and the development direction.

Tetrahydrotricyclopentadiene(below THTCPD) isomer is a good candidate materials for the high performance liquid fuel component because of its high density and heat of combustion value. The object of this study was to find out the proper reaction condition to improve the fluidity of THTCPD which is solid state at room temperature. Therefore, we have carried out isomerization reactions using aluminum chloride in the varying reaction condition such as reaction temperature and solvents. The results showed that when using aluminum chloride catalyst, THTCPD isomerization reaction was more active in the polar halogenated reaction media such as dichloromethane(methylene chloride: MC), 1,2-dichloroethane(ethylene chloride: EC) and chloroform than in non-polar hydrocarbon media such as n-Hexnae and toluene and was effected by reaction temperature variation.
