This study was performed by the numerical approach to investigate chemical behaviors of homogeneous syngas ($CO/H_2$) with nitric monoxide (NO) in pressurized oxy-fuel conditions. Hydrogen had a dominant effect to the ignition delay time of syngas due to the fast chemistry of its oxidation. Combustion was promoted by NO at the low temperature region. It was by the additional heat release through NO oxidation and production and consumption of major radicals related to the ignition. Two stage ignition behavior was shown in the pressurized condition by the accumulation of $H_2O_2$ produced from $HO_2$ radical. Additional NO oxidation was induced by the pressurized oxy-fuel condition to produce $NO_2$.

Although the development of electric vehicles or electric commercial vehicles is underway in Korea, most companies are seeking to enter the global market because it is difficult to expand their business only in the domestic market. In addition, it is recognized that the country has difficulties in responding to regulations or related procedures when entering overseas markets, and due to such difficulties, it is not possible to gain opportunities to enter the market and gain the technical advantage. Therefore, it is necessary to support individual companies to overcome the difficulties of promoting and exporting products by establishing a pre-cycle support environment for technology development so that development parts can be installed in small electric commercial vehicles. Therefore, this study tried to understand the necessity and factors of small electric commercial vehicles for major ASEAN countries, and as a result, most of them raised the urgency and necessity of joint research.In addition, human resource development, government support, and technical support were suggested as the necessary factors for the study.

This study is a study to estimate the VSL (Value of a Statistical Life) and CBA (Cost-benefit analysis) of the rollover safety standard for hydrogen buses, VSL is an economic value concept used to quantify the benefits of avoiding death. CBA shows the effect of cost-benefit, and if B/C is greater than 1, there is a social effect. In order to estimate the VSL and CBA, the hydrogen bus introduction scenario was assumed to be optimistic (20,000 vehicles in 2030), neutral (15,000 vehicles in 2030), and pessimistic (10,000 vehicles in 2030), and the effect of reducing human casualties was estimated. As a result, except for the pessimistic market situation of introducing hydrogen buses (10,000 vehicles in 2030) and the VSL reduction ratio of 10%, all policies were judged to have high cost-benefit effects. These results indicate that the introduction of the rollover safety standard for hydrogen buses is a socially effective policy.

Recently, technologies for efficient power grid operation have become important due to climate change. For this reason, predicting power demand using deep learning is being considered, and it is necessary to understand the influence of characteristics of each region, industrial structure, and climate. This study analyzed the power demand of New Jersey in US, with a high urbanization rate and a large service industry, and West Virginia in US, a low urbanization rate and a large coal, energy, and chemical industries. Using recurrent neural network algorithm, the power demand from January 2020 to August 2022 was learned, and the daily and weekly power demand was predicted. In addition, the power grid operation based on the power demand forecast was discussed. Unlike previous studies that have focused on the deep learning algorithm itself, this study analyzes the regional power demand characteristics and deep learning algorithm application, and power grid operation strategy.

In this paper, a new technology to obtain electronic grade, highly pure carbon dioxide by using membrane and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold heat assisted cryogenic distillation has been proposed. PRO/II with PROVISION release 2023.1 from AVEVA company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function to predict pure component vapor pressure versus temperature more accurately was selected for the modeling of the membrane and cryogenic distillation process. Advantage of using membrane separation instead of selecting absorber-stripper configuration for the concentration of carbon dioxide was the reduction of carbon dioxide capture cost.

The cement industry emits a large amount of greenhouse gases compared to other industries, with about 60% of CO₂ emissions from the decarbonation of limestone and about 40% from the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the cement industry needs to reduce greenhouse gases through carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology. Capturing CO₂ and synthesizing it into methanol is feasible and also useful as raw material for the chemical industry and as marine fuel. In this study, We aimed to produce methanol from syngas produced by capturing CO₂ emissions. Process simulations were performed under various conditions such as syngas ratio, temperature, and pressure for the production of synthesis gas and methanol, and the results showed that the optimal amount of methanol production at a synthesis gas ratio of 2.03.

To increase flash point which is related to flammability, seven unprecedented new cleaning agents containing fluoride atoms have been invented. These newly synthesized cleaning agents's physical properties which were conducted by Korea Institute of Petroleum Management by using a standard method showed excellent values. Particularly, flash point of newly synthetic cleaning agents is more higher than that of fluoride free compound. A specimen for cleaning ability was prepared by cutting in $60mm{\times}40mm$ size of stainless steel plate. The surface of the above specimens was applied with four kinds of contaminants, such as paraffin based drawing oil, flux abietic acid, water-insoluble cutting oil, and lubricating oil. Contaminated specimens were immersed in new compounds (1-7) for 1 to 5 minutes to dissolve oil in the cleaning agent. Although the data indicate that all compounds (1-7) exhibit lower cleaning ability toward cutting oil, it is observed that in the case of the present study more than 80% of pollutants on the surface were almost removed within 5 minutes.

GTA (Gas Tungsten Arc)용접은 불활성 분위기에서 용접이 이루어지기 때문에 타 아크용접법에 비해 용접부 품질이 우수하여 고품질이 요구되는 산업분야에 널리 이용되고 있다. 하지만 스테인리스강으로 pipe를 제조하기 위해 GTA 용접을 적용할 경우, Laser 및 고주파 용접 (HFIW)에 비해 용접부 품질 및 용접속도가 낮기 때문에 pipe를 제조하는 산업에서 적용에 제한을 받고 있다. 하지만, GTA는 laser 혹은 HFIW에 비해 가격이 1/10수준으로 낮고, 용접부 gap tolerance 및 용접면 관리범위가 넓은 장점이 있기 때문에 GTA의 용접속도 및 용접품질을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 스테인리스강 GTA용접 시 용접속도를 향상시키기 위해, 모재의 성분 제어 (합금성분 최적화-Al, S, Se, O등), Flux 도포 기술 (산화물을 용접전에 도포하여 용접속도 향상) 및 혼합보호가스 적용 등이 있다. 스테인리스강 용접 시 보호가스로는 용접부 품질을 확보하기 위해 Ar을 주로 사용하고 있다. 하지만 용입 특성을 향상시키기 위해 아크의 온도를 높일 수 있는 He, 혹은 $H_2$ gas를 단독 혹은 혼합하여 사용하고 있다. 오스테나이트계 스테인리스의 경우 용입특성을 향상시키기 위해 Ar에 $H_2$를 2~10%정도 혼합하여 사용하고 있다. 페라이트계 스테인리스강은 수소에 대한 고용도가 상대적으로 작아 용접부 수소 취화를 일으킬 수 있기 때문에 적용에 제한을 받고 있어 그 대안으로 산소를 극히 소량을 혼합하여 용입성 향상에 대한 연구가 보고 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 페라이트계 스테인리스강의 용입특성을 향상시킬 목적으로 Ar에 산소를 미량 첨가 (1%미만) 하여 용접전류 및 산소 함량에 따른 용입특성의 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 또한 기계적인 물성 및 부식특성을 평가하였고, 최종적으로 실용화 가능성을 파악하기 위해 용접전극의 수명 테스트를 실시하였다. 실시한 결과, 산소가 첨가량 증가 할수록 용입특성은 상승하였으며, 기계적인 물성 또한 산소를 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 거의 유사한 값을 얻을 수 있었다, 하지만 산소함량이 증가 할수록 전극의 수명은 감소하여 교체주기가 증가함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 기술을 상용화시키기에는 극복해야할 문제가 있지만, 소재 합금성분 설계 시 용접생산성 향상위한 산소성분 범위를 제시할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

The important requirement of industrial dynamic X-ray detector operating under high tube voltage up to 450 kVp for 24 hours and 7 days is to obtain significantly high radiation resistance. This study presents the radiation resistance characteristics of various thin film transistors (TFTs) with a-Si, poly-Si and IGZO semiconducting layers. IGZO TFT offering dozens of times higher field effect mobility than a-Si TFT was processed with highly hydrogenated plasma in between IGZO semiconducting layer and inter-layered dielectric. The hydrogenated IGZO TFT showed most sustainable radiation resistance up to 10,000Gy accumulated, thus, concluded that it is a sole switching device in X-ray imaging sensor offering dynamic X-ray imaging at high frame rate under extremely severe radiation environment such as automated X-ray inspection.

환경부에서 발표한 2001년도 사업장 배출시설계 폐기물 발생현황을 보면 소각에 의한 처리량이 1995년도에 5,691톤/일에서 2001년도에 7,875톤/일로 꾸준히 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다(환경부 2001). 이러한 산업폐기물 소각장에서 발생하는 유해오염물질은 매우 다양하다. 그 중 최근 사회적 이슈로 떠오르는 것이 악취이다. 악취는 황화수소ㆍ메르캅탄류 아민류 등 기타 자극성 있는 기체상 물질이 사람의 후각을 자극하여 불쾌감과 혐오감을 주는 냄새로, 주로 인체 위해성 보다는 정신적ㆍ심리적 피해를 끼치는 감각공해이다(환경부, 2000).
