직접메탄올형 연료전지(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell)는 휴대용으로 사용할 수 있는 소형 전원용으로 주로 개발되고 있으며, 다양한 용도로 사용이 가능하다. 하지만 직접메탄올연료전지에서 전해질로 많이 쓰이는 Nafion막은 이를 통한 메탄올 크로스오버(Crossover) 때문에 연료전지의 성능을 제한시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Nafion 117를 사용하여 전극 면적 100cm2 의 DFMC용 MEA를 제작하고, 공기 유량을 3ml/mim으로 고정하고, 메탄올 유량을 2,3 ml/min로 각각 공기극와 연료극에 공급하여 온도변화(50, 60, 70, $80^{\circ}C$)에 따른 성능을 확인하였다. DMFC의 적당 반응 온도는 $70^{\circ}C$로 생각되고, 유량은 메탄올 2ml/min, 공기 3ml/min유량 공급시가 성능이 높게 나오는 결과를 얻으나 일정시간 지나면 성능이 메탄올 3ml/min, 공기 3ml/min유량 공급시 보다 성능이 떨어지는 현상이 일어나기 때문에 $70^{\circ}C$ 반응온도에 메탄올 3ml/min, 공기 3ml/min의 유량 공급이 본 논문에서 최적화된 성능을 내는 조건으로 사료된다.

In this study, an effective model-based sensor fault detection methodology that can detect and isolate PEM temperature sensors fault is introduced. In fuel cell vehicle operation process, the stack temperature affects durability of a fuel cell. Thus, it is important for fault algorithm to detect the fault signals. The major objective of sensor fault detection is to guarantee the healthy operations of the fuel cell system and to prevent the stack from high temperature and low temperature. For the residual implementation, parity equation based on the state space is used to detect the sensors fault as stack temperature and coolant inlet temperature, and residual is compared with the healthy temperature signals. Then the residuals are evaluated by various fault scenarios that detect the presence of the sensor fault. In the result, the designed in this study fault algorithm can detect the fault signal.

In this paper, we have implemented the unified fuel heater and performance evaluation system for diesel cars. In order to strengthen an engine starting of diesel car, we need to assembly the fuel filter and heater. Especially, this assembly fuel heater is very important in winter, it is necessary for heating to operate the diesel engine. The heater for unifying the sensor and heater body can advance the performance of car and reduce the production cost. Finally, the performance test chamber is needed to evaluate the performance of heater.

In this study, the production of proper emulsion fuel and the evaluation of its rheological stability in various experimental conditions were carried out. The W/O (water-in-oil) emulsion fuel was made using n-decane, pure water, and Span 80 was used as a surfactant. Increments of water volume ratio and fuel temperature were the factors, which boosted the phase separation of the emulsion fuel. Rheological characteristics for different water/oil volume ratio, temperature, and elapsed time after the fuel production were examined. As the water volume ratio in the fuel increased, the behavior of non-Newtonian fluid was observed. Viscosity declined as the fuel temperature increased due to the cohesion of water droplets in the fuel. The effect of elapsed time on viscosity was not severe for lower water ratio. However, gradual decrease of viscosity 3 hours after fuel production, in the case of ratio of 3:7, was clearly observed.

본 연구에서는 PWR 핵연료집합체를 금속 전환시켜 형성된 금속저장체에 대한 온도분포를 계산하였다. 해석모델은 PWR 핵연료집합체 2개 및 4개를 1개의 금속저장체로 전환한 경우로 하였다. PWR 핵연료를 금속 전환할 경우 금속전환 과정에서 Sr과 Cs를 선택적으로 제거함으로서 냉각부하를 약 1/2로 줄일 수 있고 체적을 약 1/4로 줄일 수 있는 잇점이 있다. 열해석 결과 2 PWR 핵연료 금속저장체에서 저장시스템 주변 공기의 온도가 50 $^{\circ}C$ 인 경우, 금속 연료봉의 최고온도는 164 $^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 또한, 4 PWR 핵연료 금속저장체의 경우 금속 연료봉의 최고온도는 사각형 저장체에서 193 $^{\circ}C$, 육각형 저장체에서 183 $^{\circ}C$ 로 나타났다. 따라서 건식 저장에서 연료봉의 온도를 낮게 하기 위해서는 저장 밀도를 높일 수 있는 연료봉 밀집화 (rod consolidation) 방식이 경제성 측면뿐만 아니라 열안전성 측면에서도 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 차량 연료탱크에 충격탄 관통 시 화재발생 여부를 분석하기 위한 연구의 전단계로서, 충격탄 속도 변화에 따른 연료탱크 내부의 열전달특성을 분석하기 위해 전산유체역학기법을 도입하여 수치해석을 수행한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 잔류속도 120m/s의 경우, 관통부를 지난 위치에서 최대온도는 약 324.8K를 나타내고 잔류속도 360m/s의 경우, 충격탄이 관통부로 유입되면서 급격하게 증가되어 최고온도 약 382.1K를 나타낸다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 최고 온도가 가솔린 연료의 착화온도보다 높아 화재의 위험성이 있지만 순간적인 온도변화가 심하고 착화시간이 만족되지 않을 것으로 판단된다.

Emulsion fuel is a very attractive fuel because of its energy saving and pollution prevention properties. We investigated and compared the combustion efficiency of B-C oil and emulsion fuel i.e. fuel made from the mixture of B-C oil and waste water. By installing an R-type thermocouple and an optical pyrometer on each side of the boiler, and by placing a combustion analyzer at the point of gas emissions, We were able to measure and compare each flame temperature, combustion rate and the concentration of emitted gas when B-C oil and emulsion fuel are burned. The following results were obtained: The flame temperature of emulsion fuel at the front and rear of the boiler is about 50$^{\circ}C$ lower than the flame temperature of B-C oil. The reason for this difference in temperature is that both latent and sensible heat is lost due to the moisture in the waste water of emulsion fuel. An analysis of emitted gases shows that when emulsion fuel is used polluting substances decrease also the concentration of CO becomes considerably lower. The combustion efficiency for B-C oil and emulsion fuel is 85.5% and 84.8% respectively.

An experiment was conducted to study fuel injection characteristics of high boiling point test fuels (HBPTF), which are newly developed with higher boiling points than conventional aviation fuels, for various injection pressures when the fuel was heated to the temperature higher than their boiling points. The injection characteristics with elevating fuel temperature were quantified by the flow coefficient (${\alpha}$) and the cavitation number ($K_c$), and it was found that the trends between ${\alpha}$ and $K_c$ for various fuels were very similar with each other. In addition, compared with a conventional fuel, HBPTFs not only have higher fuel temperatures at which the effect of fuel boiling on the injection initiates, but also are less affected by the fuel boiling inside the injectors at temperatures over the boiling point.

Since the operating temperature of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is high, the heat management of the gases supplied to fuel cell system is important. In this paper, the temperature characteristic of the gases supplied to the anode and the cathode of the fuel cell is studied in case of utilizing the waste heat contained in the ship exhaust gas as a heat source to heat up the fuel, gas and water supplied to a 500kW SOFC system for a ship power. For the fuel cell system proposed in this paper, the temperature of gases supplied to the anode and the cathode was the highest temperature at 963K when the exhaust gas of the fuel cell was utilized as the heat source for gases supplied to fuel cell system instead of utilizing the ship exhaust gas. In addition, the engine power did not effect on the temperature of gases supplied to the fuel cell stack.

연료전지의 종류는 전해질의 종류로 나누는 것이 일반적으로, 운전 및 정지를 반복하는 자동차용에는 작동 온도까지 상변화가 없는 고체 전해질이 유리하다고 할 수 있는데 프로톤 교환막과 고체산화물이 바로 그것이다. 프로톤 교환막 연료전지는 다른 종류의 연료전지 보다 작동온도가 8$0^{\circ}C$ 내외로 낮고, 단위전지 면출력밀도가 커서 현재 자동차용으로 가장 많이 개발되고 있다. 그 결과 자동차 구동에 적당한 80㎾급의 연료전지 스택이 자동차에 장착될 수 있는 크기로 개발되어 적용되고 있다. (중략)
