용융공정으로 제조한 YBCO 고온 초전도체는 임계전류밀도가 높기 때문에 외부자장을 강력하게 반발한다. 영구자석과 YBCO 초전도체간의 부상력을 이용하면 무접촉으로 회전할 수 있는 베어링을 제작할 수 있다 고온 초전도체 무접촉 베어링은 고에너지 효율의 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치에 활용된다. 초전도 베어링은 전자석을 이용한 자기 베어링에 비해, 위치 제어 시스템 없이 중량물을 공중에 띄워 회전시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치는 무공해의 환경 친화적인 기술로, 용량과 규모, 에너지 입출력 양과 시간을 조절하기 쉽다. 또한, 장소설정에 제한이 없으므로 에너지를 필요로 하는 장소에 자유롭게 설치할 수 있고, 에너지밀도가 다른 저장시스템에 비해 상대적으로 높다. 현재 선진 각국에서는 에너지의 효율적 저장 및 활용을 위해 고온 초전도체 베어링을 이용한 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치를 국가적 중점 사업으로 개발 중이며 2000년 초에 실용화될 전망이다. 본 논문에서는 고온 초전도체의 자기 부상력, 플라이흴 에너지 저장장치의 개념설계 및 개발동향에 대해 요약하였다.

The steady state and dynamic characteristics of large cell area MCFC stacks were analyzed to solve the problems such as temperature difference generated in stacks and pressure difference between anode and cathode. Manipulated variables (current density, duel utilization rate, oxidant utilization rate) and controlled variables (temperature difference, anode and cathode pressure difference) which had an important effect on the MCFC stack performance were determined using operation results of two types of MCFC stacks (5kW (3,000 $\textrm{cm}^2$, 20 ea). 3kW (6,000 $\textrm{cm}^2$, 5ea)). The stability and transfer function representing system dynamics were obtained by steady state gain rate which showed the relative change between MVs and CVs. The transfer function was a 3$\times$3 matrix and a typical first order system without time delay. The optimal operating condition of large cell area MCFC stacks could be determined by analyzing dynamic characteristics. In case of a 5 kW MCFC stack, pressurized operation with recycle flow should be used to control the outlet temperature less than 68$0^{\circ}C$ and to control the MCFC system effectively. MIMO control or decoupler should be used to remove the interaction between MVs and CVs. This result will be used as important data in determining the control structure design and operation mode of large cell area MCFC systems in the future.

Energy consumption per unit weight of metal (kwh/kg of metal) is one of the most important economic indicators in the process of molten salt electrolysis. It is related to the heat loss of salt bath and the current efficiency of the process. The current efficiency is highly dependent on electrolysis temperature. On the other hand, the temperature of salt bath may increase significantly due to the difference (larger energy input than consumption) in heat balance at the beginning of electrolysis, which may cause different electrolysis temperature from an initially targeted value. This results in a bad effect on current efficiency. Therefore, it will be helpful to the reduction of energy consumption to compare the calculated and measured values of the temperature change of salt bath through the heat balance review at the early stage of electrolysis and to evaluate the energy loss to outside. In this study, based on the authors' experimental data, the heat balance was reviewed at the beginning of the electrolysis, and it was possible to evaluate the energy loss to the outside and the increase of the temperature of the salt bath quantitatively. Through such a method, heat loss reduction plan can be derived and current efficiency can be improved so that energy consumption can be reduced.

Ultra-low loss ZERODUR and fused silica mirrors were manufactured and their light scattering characteristics were investigated. For this purpose, ZERODUR and fused silica substrates were super-polished by the bowl feed method. The surface roughness were 0.292 ${\AA}$ and 0.326 ${\AA}$ in rms for ZERODUR and fused silica, respectively. To obtain the high reflectivity, 22 thin film layers of $SiO_2$ and $Ta_2O_5$ were deposited by Ion Beam Sputtering. The measured light scattering of ZERODUR and fused silica mirror were 30.9 ppm and 4.6 ppm, respectively. This shows that the substrate surface roughness is not the only parameter which determines the light scattering of the mirror. In order to investigate the mechanism for additional light scattering of the ZERODUR mirror, the surface roughness of the mirror was measured by AFM and was found to be 2.3 times higher than that of the fused silica mirror. It is believed that there is some mismatch at the interface between the substrate and the first thin film layer which leads to the increased mirror surface roughness. To clarify this, the contact angle measurements were performed by SEO 300A, based on the Giriflaco-Good-Fowkes-Young method. The fused silica substrates with 0.46 ${\AA}$ in its physical surface roughness shows lower contact angle than that of the ZERODUR substrate with 0.31 ${\AA}$. This indicates that the thin film surface roughness is determined by not only its surface roughness but also the surface energy of the substrate, which depends on the chemical composition or crystalline orientation of the materials. The surface energy of each substrate was calculated from a contact angle measurement, and it shows that the higher the surface energy of the substrate, the better the surface roughness of the thin film.

The self diffusion distributions of viscoelastic molten polyurethanes were determined from the relationship between the relaxation spectra and the distribution of self diffusion. The relaxation spectra of ester, PCL and PCL dyed type molten polyurethanes were obtained by applying the experimental stress relaxation curves to the theoretical equation of the Ree-Eyring and Maxwell non-Newtonian model(REM model) from computer calculation. The experiments were carried out at various temperatures using the physica rheometer with the temperature controller. The self diffusion and hole distance of amorphous region of polyurethane samples were investigated by experiments of stress relaxation. The diffusion coefficients and hole volumes were calculated from rheological parameters and crystallite size in order to study the diffusion of flow segments in amorphous region. It was observed that the relaxation spectra and self diffusions of these polymer samples are directly related to the distribution of molecular weights, viscosities, hole volumes and activation energies of flow segments.

연료 전지 시스템에서의 스택은 화학 공장의 반응기에 해당한다. 화학 공장에서 반응 생성물의 생산성을 최적화하기 위해 반응기 해석이 매우 중요한 것과 마찬가지로, 연료 전지 스택의 특성을 해석하고 최적 조건으로 설계 및 운전하는 것은 필수적이다. 스택에서 전기를 생산하는 과정에서 중요한 두 가지 운전 변수는 기체의 조성과 온도이며, 이론적인 해석을 위해서는 유체의 이동시에 열전달 및 각 성분별 물질 수지식과 전기 화학 반응식이 사용될 수 있다.(중략)

6종류의 유연탄을 대상으로 석탄회분의 용융온도와 화학적조성을 측정하고, 대상탄 회분에 대해 Rs 값과 Fs 값을 계산해 봄으로써 각 탄들의 Slagging 성향을 알아보았다. 그리고, 이 자료만으로는 정확한 Slagging 성향의 예측이 어려우므로 분류층 가스화기의 조건을 모사한 DTF(Drop Tube Furnace : 이하 DTF)장치를 이용하여 온도와 체류시간을 달리하면서 생성되는 Slag의 화학적조성, 강도, 점착속도 등을 측정하여 Slagging 형태의 가스화기 운전에 있어서 최적조건을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 수치모사로 부터 단위 전지 양극가스내 질소 조성과 각 가스의 순환에 따른 단위전지내의 온도분포 및 성능변화를 구하였다. 양극가스내 질소의 영향은 냉각효과로 나타났고 순환비가 증가할수록 전지내의 온도와 전지의 성능은 감소하였다. 작동압력이 증가할수록 전지의 성능은 증가하였고, 기전력변화 대 압력의 상용대수변화의 직선의 기울기는 문헌상의 실험치와 유사하게 나타났다.

폐기물이란 쓰레기ㆍ연소재ㆍ오니ㆍ폐유ㆍ폐산ㆍ폐알칼리 등 사람의 생활이나 사업활동에 필요 없게 된 물질을 말하는 것으로, 쓰레기와는 엄밀한 의미로는 구분되지만 일반적으로는 버리는 것은 모두 폐기물이라고 볼 수 있다. 폐기물은 발생 주체에 따라 생활폐기물과 사업장폐기물로 구분되는데, 사업장폐기물은 사업장에서 발생되는 폐기물로 구성물질은 업종과 생산공정에 따라 다양하다.(중략)
