수소첨가 가스화반응 특성을 조사하기 위해 $800^{\circ}C$, 8 MPa에서 조업 가능한 회분식반응기를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험에 사용한 플라스틱은 폴리에틸렌이었으며 바이오매스는 톱밥이었다. 반응기내 압력감소속도는 기상물 생성속도를 나타냄을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 결과는 반응시간에 따른 전환율 변화로부터 확인할 수 있었다. 기상물 생성량과 플라스틱-바이오매스 혼합물의 전환율은 플라스틱 함량비가 증가할수록 증가하였다.

This study is purposed to analyze thermodynamic properties on the hydrogen production by dimethyl ether steam reforming. Various reaction conditions of temperatures (300~1500 K), feed compositions (steam/carbon = 1~7), and pressures (1, 5, 10 atm) were applied to investigate the effects of the reaction conditions on the thermodynamic properties of dimethyl ether steam reforming. An endothermic steam reforming competed with an exothermic water gas shift reaction and an exothermic methanation within the applied reaction condition. Hydrogen production was initiated at the temperature of 400 K and the production rate was promoted at temperatures exceeding 550 K. An increase of steam to carbon ratio (S/C) in feed mixture over 1.5 resulted in the increase of the water gas shift reaction, which lowered the formation of carbon monoxide. The maximum hydrogen yield with minimizing loss of thermodynamic conversion efficiency was achieved at the reaction conditions of a temperature of 900 K and a steam to carbon ratio of 3.0.

Recently, the world's countries are tightening regulations on CO2 and air pollutants emission to solve them. In addition, eco friendly vehicles is increasing to replace automobiles in internal combustion engine. The government is supporting the expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure according to the hydrogen economy road map. In particular, refueling station is important to secure the safety that supplies high-pressure hydrogen with a wide LFL range. This paper is on guidelines for the determination safety distances to ensure worker safety from accident as jet fire. The safety distance is set according to the procedure of the EIGA doc 075/21. For accident frequency is upper 3.5E-05 per annum, safety distance is decided via consequence analysis where the risk of harm is below individual harm exposure threshold.

In this study, the flow uniformity was analyzed by performing numerical analysis on the 1 kWe internal manifold type solid oxide fuel cell stack according to the channel height of the separator. Also, it was examined by varying the fuel utilization rate and oxygen utilization rate. From the calculation results, we found that as the channel height of the separator decreased, the pressure drop increased exponentially. In addition, it was found that as the channel height of the separator decreased, the gas flow resistance inside the unit cell increased, and the flow resistance increased the pressure drop, thereby improving the flow uniformity inside the stack. Finally, the calculation results showed that as the fuel and oxygen utilization increased, the flow uniformity also improved.

This study performed the numerical analysis of the internal flow phenomena of 1 kWe-class solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks with internal manifold type and planar cells using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, Star-CCM+. In particular, the locations where the turbulent phenomena occur inside the SOFC stack were investigated. In addition, the laminar flow model and the standard k-ε turbulent model were used to calculate the SOFC stack, separately. And, the calculation results of both laminar and turbulent models were compared. The calculation results showed that turbulent phenomena occurred mainly in the cathode flow. Especially, the turbulent phenomena were found in the cathode inlet/outlet region, and local turbulence occurred in the end plate near the inlet pipe.

The concentration of solute in a $NaBH_4$ solution is limited due to the low solubility of $NaBO_2$. The performance of a hydrogen generation system was evaluated using various concentrations of $NaBH_4$ solution. First, a self-hydrolysis test and a hydrogen generation test for 30 min were performed. The composition of $NaBH_4$ solution was selected to be 1 wt% NaOH + 25 wt% $NaBH_4$+74wt% $H_2O$ by considering the amount of hydrogen loss, stability of hydrogen generation, $NaBO_2$ precipitation, conversion efficiency, and the purpose of its application. A hydrogen generation system for a 200 W fuel cell was evaluated for 3 h. Although hydrogen generation rate decreased with time due to $NaBO_2$ precipitation, hydrogen was produced for 3 h (conversion efficiency: 87.4%). The energy density of the 200 W fuel cell system was 263 Wh/kg. A small unmanned aerial vehicle with this fuel cell system can achieve 1.5 times longer flight time than one flying on batteries.

The transition from a carbon economy based on fossil fuels to a hydrogen economy is necessary to ensure energy security and to combat climate change. In order to pursue the transition to a hydrogen economy while achieving sustainable economic growth, a preliminary study into the establishment of the necessary infrastructure for the future hydrogen economy needs to be carried out. This study addresses the economic and environmental interactions in a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model focusing on the economic effects of the introduction of renewable energy into the Korean energy system. Firstly, the introduction of hydrogen results in an increase in the investment in hydrogen production and the reduction of the production cost, ultimately leading to GDP growth. Secondly, the mandatory introduction of renewable energy and associated government subsidies bring about a reduction in total demand. Additionally, the mandatory introduction of hydrogen energy into the power sector helps to reduce CO2 emissions through the transition from a carbon economy-based on fossil energy to a hydrogen economy. This means that hydrogen energy needs to come from non-fossil fuel sources in order for greenhouse gases to be effectively reduced. Therefore, it seems necessary for policy support to be strengthened substantially and for additional studies to be conducted into the production of hydrogen energy from renewable sources.

최근 디젤 대체 연료 및 발전용 연료로서 그 가능성을 인정받고 있는 DME(dimethyl ether, $CH_{3}OCH_{3}$)를 이용하여 수소를 생산하는 방법으로 DME 수증기 개질반응의 기초 실험을 수행하였다. DME 개질 반응의 생성물의 평형 조성 분포를 온도, 압력, 원료의 공급비$(H_{2}O/DME)$를 변수로 하여 열역학적으로 해석하였고, DME, 에탄올, 또는 메탄올 수증기 개질 반응의 생성물의 분포를 비교하여 수소 생산을 위한 공급원료로의 가능성을 검토하였다. 여러 종류의 개질 촉매를 사용하여 DME 개질 반응을 수행해 본 결과, 반응온도 $300^{\circ}C$, 반응압력 1atm, 원료 공급비$(H_{2}O/DME)=3$인 반응조건에서 1.0wt% $Pd/{\gamma}$-alumina가 가장 좋은 활성 및 60% 이상의 수소 선택도를 보여주었으, 또한 원료의 공급비가 증가함에 따라 DME의 전환율 및 주 생성물인 수소의 수율이 현저하게 증가함을 보여주었다.

도시가스, LP 가스, 가솔린 등의 수증기 개질의 반응온도가 $700^{\circ}C$이상의 고온에서 이루어지는 것에 비해 DME 수증기 개질의 반응온도는 $400^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서 이루진다는 점에서 우수하다. 또한 황 성분을 함유하지 않기 때문에 원료로부터 탈황 과정이 필요 없다. 특히 DME 수증기 개질의 경우 반응온도가 낮은 것과 개질 촉매가 일반적으로는 Cu 계 촉매이기 때문에 도시가스 등의 개질장치와 달리 CO 변성 장치가 불필요하다. 이 때문에 수소제조를 위해 개질장치가 소형화 가능하고 연료전지 자동차로의 탑재가 용이하여 가능성이 높다 개질장치가 소형화 가능한 것으로 메탄올의 수증기 개질이 있지만 메탄올은 독성이 있다는 점이 문제시되고 있다. 그 점에서 메탄올의 수증기 개질 보다 반응 온도는 다소 높게 되지만 독성 없는 DATE는 기존의 LP가스 인프라를 이용할 수 있는 ME는 특히 우수한 수소제조를 위한 원료이고 수소저장체로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 가능성 높은 촉매를 사용하여 DME로부터 수소 전환율, 수소 생성속도와 양에 대한 실험실적 결과를 고찰하고자 수행하였다
