This paper deals with the observer-based decentralized fuzzy controller design for nonlinear interconnected system for PEMFC. The nonlinear interconnected system is represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. Based on T-S fuzzy interconnected system, the fuzzy observer and the decentralized fuzzy controller are designed. The stability condition of the closed-loop system with the proposed controller is represented to the linear matrix inequality (LMI) form, and the observer and control gain s are obtained by LMI. An example is given to show the verification discussed throughout the paper.

재래식 잠수함의 잠항 능력을 향상시키기 위해 제안된 AIP 장치들도 끊임없는 기술의 진보와 경쟁 그리고 실선 적용에 의한 검증을 거쳐 미래에는 어느 한 AIP 장치가 표준으로 자리잡게 될 것으로 추측된다. 시스템 자체의 소음수준이 낮을 것으로 기대되는 연료전지 AIP도 많은 홍보와 관심 속에서 실선용이 개발 중이다. 하지만 모든 AIP 장치들이 제각기 고유의 비효용성을 갖고 있는 것처럼 연료전지 역시 안전성 저하를 비롯한 여러 가지 부담을 추가한다는 점에 유의해야 할 것이다.

국내 최초의 생활폐기물고형연료(RDF) 생산플랜트인 원주시 RDF플랜트의 2009년도 운영실적을 정리하여 폐기물 처리단가를 분석하였으며 에너지 생산 효과도 분석하였다. 실적분석에 사용된 자료는 원주 RDF플랜트 위탁운영업체가 운영비를 청구 및 정산하기 위해서 원주시에 상시 측정 및 보고하는 항목으로서, 내용은 트럭으로 플랜트에 반입되는 폐기물 전체량, RDF생산 전체량, 불순물 매립 전체량, 건조 및 탈취용 연료사용 전체량, 전기사용 전체량 등이다. 2009년도 원주시 RDF플랜트에 반입된 폐기물 량은 총 17,504톤이었고, RDF를 총 7,044톤 생산하였으며, 4,120톤의 불연물을 선별하였다. 1년간 사용한 건조 및 탈취용 연료는 총 596,268 리터였으며 연료인 부생유의 가격은 리터 당 평균 864.6원이었다. 사용한 전기량은 총 2,435,397 kWh였고, 이 중에서 성형공정에 사용된 전기량은 총 사용량의 19%였다. 이상의 기록자료들을 분석해 본 결과, 폐기물 1톤을 처리하는데 전기 비용이 14,334원이었고, 연료비가 29,452원이었다. 여기에 폐기물 1톤당 불연물 매립비 6,573원과 위탁인건비를 합하면 폐기물 1톤당 처리비용은 약 116,573원으로 나타났다. 현재 원주시 RDF는 톤당 25,000원에 판매되고 있으므로 이 비용을 감안하면 폐기물 1톤당 처리비용은 105,298원으로 산출되었다. 현재 알려진 유사 규모의 소각로 운영비가 폐기물 1톤당 136,736원인데, 이것은 RDF기술보다 31,438원/톤-폐기물 정도 처리비용이 비싸다. 따라서 100톤 이하 규모의 폐기물처리시설 설치를 할 경우에는 RDF 시설이 경제적으로 타당함을 나타낸다. 원주시 RDF플랜트의 물질수지를 분석해 본 결과, RDF생산 수율은 40.2%였으며 총 투입된 에너지는 8,0587 Gcal였다. 생산된 에너지 총량은 RDF발열량 4,500 kcal/kg으로 했을 때 31,699 Gcal로 나타났다. 투입대비 생산에너지 비율은 25.4%로 계산되었고, 전기의 발전효율을 40%로 감안했을 경우에는 35.3%로 계산되었다. 성형하는데 사용되는 총 에너지는 전체 투입에너지의 4.9%로 나타났고, 비용으로는 폐기물 1톤당 2,723원 이었다.

Operation Abstract : Operational cost required for navigating a ship may differ from according to type, scale, economic speed, navigation area and other factors. However, it is known that the fuel oil price ratio takes 50~60 %. It is the current trend because of the use of poor quality fuel and it is reviewed even for small to medium sized ships to save the operational costs due to the recent rise of international oil price. Furthermore, ocean carriers are taking action to low speed navigation as the alternative method of reducing fuel consumption. Hence, in this study, fuel consumption of main engine was measured by using actual operating ship data compared with sea speed at sea. It was suggested that the area of M/E's load(70 %) lower than NCR is the optimal navigating condition through the relation between speed and fuel consumption compared with advance ratio together with the load.

For stable combustion and safety of a structure of the propulsion system, a cooling system to the liquid rocket engine should be incorporated. In this study, Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme for two phase combustion, nongray radiation and soot formation effect, and film-wall interaction have been introduced to study the effect of film cooling. After briefly introducing the governing equation, combustion characteristics with change of wall temperature has been investigated by varying such parameters as fuel mass fraction for film cooling, diameter of the fuel droplet, overall mixture fraction of oxygen to fuel. Also, radiative heat flux is compared with the conductive one at the combustor wall.

In this study, it made to run conventional single direct injection(DI) diesel engine, which adapted bulk combustion system not following spark ignition system without any ignition apparatus. It was heated and controlled inlet-air into conventional single DI diesel engine. The maximum value of brake thermal efficiency was at 35 region of air-fuel ratio. On the contrary, when the region of air-fuel ratio leaner than 35, brake thermal efficiency was decreased suddenly. And brake thermal efficiency was increased as much as inlet-air heating temperature increased. So, when air-fuel ratio was decreased and inlet-air heating temperature was higher, the engine was in optimal operation condition.

The Purpose of this study are to investigate the characteristics of the flame behavior of gasoline-methanol blended fuels in spark ignition engine. Ionization probe were installed at the cylinder head and piston in order to measure flame speed. Other parameter such as engine performance, fuel consumption rate and exhaust gas were measured. The results were as follows. 1. In the case of increase methanol contents in blend fuel, flame propagation speed were increased, and thermal efficiency of the engine were increased due to decrease of energy consumption rate. 2. In the case of fixed equivalance ratio, NO sub(X) in exhaust gas were increased in accordance with increase of spark advance, and mean effective pressure were decreased in accordance with increase of methanol contents. 3. CO and HC concentration were decreased in accordance with increase of methanol contents.

Cycle length of domestic nuclear power plants is determined by the demand-supply plan of utility company. The target cycle length is achieved by adjusting the number of feed fuel assembly and fuel enrichment. Traditionally, utility company first select the number of feed fuel assembly and then find out the fuel enrichment to achieve the special cycle length. But it is difficult to find out if this method is most economical than any other combinations of the enrichment and batch size satisfying the same cycle length. In this paper, core depletion calculation is performed to find out the optimum combination of the enrichment and batch size for given target cycle length in terms of fuel cycle cost using commercial core design code; CASMO/MASTER code. To minimize the uncertainty resulting from transition core analysis, levelized fuel cycle cost analysis was applied to the equilibrium cycle core in order to determine the optimum combination. The sensitivity study of discount rate was also carried out to analyze the levelized fuel cycle cost applicable to countries with different discount rates. From the levelized fuel cycle cost analysis results, the combination with smaller batch size and higher fuel enrichment becomes more economical as the discount rate becomes lower. On the other hand, the combination with higher batch size and lower fuel enrichment becomes more economical as the discount rate becomes higher.

Most of the sewage sludge is organic waste containing a large amount of organic substances decomposable by microorganisms by biological treatment. As for existing sewage sludge treatment methods, reduction and fuel conversion are being carried out using technologies such as drying, incineration, torrefaction, carbonization. However, the disadvantage of high energy consumption has been pointed out as latent heat of 539 kcal/kg is consumed based on drying. Therefore, in this study, we intend to produce solid fuel through hydrothermal carbonization(HTC), which is a thermochemical treatment. To evaluate the value of solid fuel, the characteristics of carbonization and fuel ratio were analyzed. As a result, as the hydrothermal carbonization reaction temperature increased, the lower heating value also increased by about 500 kcal/kg due to the increase in the degree of carbonization. H/C, O/C, ratio showed a decreasing trend from 1.78, 0.46 to 1.57, 0.32. When the ratio of ash to combustible content (fixed carbon + volatile) of dry sludge was 0.25 or more, it was derived that the degree of carbonization and calorific value did not increase even when hydrothermal carbonization was performed.
