1990년대에 이르러 안정적인 에너지원의 공급과 환경문제에 대한 관심이 대두되면서, 공해문제를 해소하고, 기존의 석탄 발전소보다 20∼30% 높은 효율의 복합 가스화발전이 연구되고 있다. 가스화 복합발전에서 석탄의 회분에서 형성된 슬래그의 원활한 제거는 연속공정의 필수이다. 본 논문에서는 슬래그 유동성의 주요인자인 점도변외에 영향을 미치는 결정체 형성 경로를 조사하였다.(중략)

내연기관 연소는 난류유동, 분무, 연소, 열전달의 복합적인 현상으로서 열역학적 해석이 주류를 이루어 왔으나 컴퓨터의 발전에 따라 효율 개선과 공해 저감을 목표로 전산유체해석 기법이 적극적으로 도입되고 있다. 내연 기관 연소의 근간을 형성하는 난류 연소 모델링의 기본 개념으로서 가솔린엔진에서의 예혼합연소와 디젤엔진에서의 확산연소에 대한 영역조건평균(zone conditional averaging) 모델과 조건평균닫힘(conditional moment closure) 모델에 대해 설명하였으며 $NO_x$와 soot 예측에 대한 적용과 엔진응용 사례를 소개하였다.

산화물 형태 사용후핵연료의 효율적 처분 혹은 재활용을 위한 연구 가운데, 고온의 LiCl 용융염 중에서 전해환원하여 금속으로 환원시킨 후, 환원된 금속을 고온의 LiCl-KCl 용융염에서 전해정련하는 연구가 국내외적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 전해환원을 위해 일정 농도 $Li_2O$가 LiCl 용융염에 첨가되며 $Li_2O$ 농도가 높으면 반응 재질의 부식성이 크게 증가하므로 일반적으로 우라늄 산화물은 1wt% 이하의 $Li_2O$ 농도에서 전해환원 된다. 우라늄 산화물의 전해환원 전위는 $Li_2O$의 전해환원 전위 보다 표준 상태를 기준으로 공정온도인 650 $^{\circ}C$ 에서 약 70 mV 정도 낮기 때문에 전해환원 과정에서 $Li_2O$ 의 환원으로 Li 금속이 생성될 가능성이 있으며 우라늄 산화물은 대부분 직접 전해환원 되지만 일부 Li에 의해 화학적으로 환원되기도 한다. 전해환원 공정에서 환원되지 않은 희토류 산화물은 전해정련 공정에서 $UCl_3$와 반응하여 $UO_2$를 생성시켜 공정 효율을 떨어뜨린다. 따라서 전해환원 공정에서 가능하연 최대한 희토류 산화물을 금속으로 환원시키는 조건을 찾아내는 것이 바람직하고 이를 위해서 우선 전해환원 공정에서 희토류 산화물의 화학적 거동의 이해가 요구된다. 본 연구에서 열역학적 검토를 통하여 희토류 산화물의 환원 조건을 조사한 결과 희토류 산화물은 매운 낮은 $Li_2O$ 농도에서 Li에 의해 환원되고, 1wt% 이하의 $Li_2O$ 농도에서는 Sc와 Lu의 산화물이 $Li_2O$와 복합산화물을 형성하고 이들 복합산화물은 Li에 의해 환원되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 희토류 원소 별로 희토류 원소 산화물의 Li에 의한 환원 조건으로서 평형상태에서의 $Li_2O$ 농도 즉 환원 임계 $Li_2O$ 농도를 실험적으로 측정하였으며 1wt% $Li_2O$ 농도 이하에서 열역학적 해석과 동일하게 Sc와 Lu만이 복합산화물을 형성하여 Li에 의해 직접환원 되지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다.

The strengthened regulations for atmospheric emissions from ships have caused a necessity of new, alternative power system in ships for the low pollutant emissions and the high energy efficiency. Recently, new kinds of propulsion power system such as fuel cell system, which use hydrogen as an energy source, have been sincerely considered. Fuel conversion system to hydrogen is an essential part for fuel cell ship. We have investigated thermodynamically the steam reforming characteristics of hydrocarbons and alcohols for the fuel conversion systems.

It is common to analyze volatile organic compound (VOC) or semi-VOC (SVOC) in a sample composed of a complex matrix consisting of multiple components such as bloods through a separation process. Adsorption is a physical phenomenon in which certain components accumulate on the surface of other phases. In order to overcome difficulties in the pretreatment process, an adsorption is frequently used. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) equipment with porous carbon carboxen (CAR) is an example of adsorption application. In this study, the adsorption of 4-octylphenol to carboxen was examined. To do so, the extraction efficiency for such solvents as dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$, DCM), ethylacetate ($CH_3COOC_2H_5$, EA) and diethylether ($C_2H_5OC_2H_5$, $Et_2O$) was studied and also the derivatization reaction for 4-octylphenol with reagents of bistrimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide (BSTFA), methylchloroformate (MCF) and pentafluorobenzylbromide (PFBBr) was compared. The combination of DCM and BSTFA showed good performance thus they were adopted for this study. Thermodynamic adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and Freundlich isotherm equation was more suitable than Langmuir isotherm. It was also found that the adsorption followed a pseudo-$2^{nd}$ order kinetic model.

The improvement of energy recovery is mandatory to decrease consumption of fossil fuels and to minimize negative impacts on the environment which originates from large cooling and heating demand. The absorption heat pump technology has a large potential for energy saving in this respect. Absorption heat pump is a means to upgrade waste heat without addition of extra thermal energy. In this study, resorption heat pump for energy recovery has been investigated using methanol-glycerine. The simulated calculation of theoretical thermal efficiency was performed based on the thermodynamic properties of the working fluid over various operating conditions. The thermal efficiency of higher than 0.4 was obtained by raising industrial waste heat, $70{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, by $40^{\circ}C$ in this system.

Pumps are widely used in industrial plants, energy systems, ships etc. Generally they consume nearly 20% each nation's total electrical energy. The objective of this study is to find performance evaluating method for variable-speed drive pump. In order to evaluate the variable-speed pump performance energy saving rate for the variable-speed pump is applied and compared with that of constant-speed pump.

The energy consumed by compressor in gas turbine is equivalent to $30\sim50\%$ of energy produced by turbine and, therefore, research on reducing compression work is important in increasing the efficiency of gas turbine. One of the method to reduce the compression work is to inject small water droplets into the compressor. This method decreases the compression work by decreasing the compressor exit temperature through the evaporation of water. Researches on wet compression, up to now, are focused on thermodynamic analysis of wet compression where the decrease of exit flow temperature and compression work is demonstrated. This paper presents an thermodynamic and aerodynamic analysis of wet compression in centrifugal compressor for microturbine.

An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the effects of the equivalence ratio and air mass flux on the combustion efficiency in a solid fuel ramjet used fuel grains which were highly loaded with boron carbide. Combustion efficiency increased with increasing equivalence ratio (grain length), and decreasing air mass flux. Higher inlet air temperature produced higher combustion efficiencies, apparently the result of enhanced combustion of the larger boron particles those burn in a diffusion controlled regime. Short grains which considered primarily of the recirculation region produced larger particles and lower combustion efficiencies. The result of the normalized combustion efficiency increased with inlet air temperatures coincident with the result of the Brayton cycle thermal and the total efficiency relating to the heat input.

Even if an expert who has majored energy engineering, it is a difficult concept to understand power output optimization and power efficiency optimization. In this study a diagram applying thermodynamic state value as specific exergy and exergy ratio was developed. Although general peoples who did not major energy engineering can be easily understand the concept of power output optimization and power efficiency through the developed diagram. A represented property that can identify the performance of power plant is the main steam temperature and pressure. At the developed diagram the maximum power output line and maximum power efficiency line are shown according to the temperature and pressure of main steam. Therefore we can identify how much a power plant approach to maximum power output and maximum power efficiency.
