근래에는 국내에서도 전자제어에 의한 Fuel Injection 방식을 채택한 엔진이 늘어가는 추세이며, 따라서 Intake Valve Deposit에 의한 문제가 발생한 소지가 점차 커지고 있으므로, 이에 대한 대비가 필요하게 되었다. 또한 국내 정유회사들도 이러한 추세에 따라 연료청정제(D.C. Additive)를 첨가한 연료를 시판중이거나 시판계획중에 있다. 따라서 국내연료청정제 및 국내 청정제함유 시판연료의 Intake Valve Deposit에 대한 청정효과를 Engine Dynamo 및 실차(Chassis Dynamo)시험을 통해서 평가해 보도록 한다.

Catalytic supports made of carbon have many advantages, such as high coking resistance, tailorable pore and surface structures, and ease of recycling of waste catalysts. Moreover, they do not require pre-reduction. In this study, ash-free coal (AFC) was obtained by the thermal extraction of carbonaceous components from raw coal and its performance as a carbon catalytic support was compared with that of well-known activated carbon (AC). Nickel was dispersed on the carbon supports and the resulting catalysts were applied to the steam reforming of toluene (SRT), a model compound of biomass tar. Interestingly, nickel catalysts dispersed on AFC, which has a very small surface area (${\sim}0.13m^2/g$), showed higher activity than those dispersed on AC, which has a large surface area ($1,173A/cm^2$). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the particle size of nickel deposited on AFC was smaller than that deposited on AC, with the average values on AFC ${\approx}11nm$ and on AC ${\approx}23nm$. This proved that heteroatomic functional groups in AFC, such as carboxyls, can provide ion-exchange or adsorption sites for the nano-scale dispersion of nickel. In addition, the pore structure, surface morphology, chemical composition, and chemical state of the prepared catalysts were analyzed using Brunauer-Emmett-Taylor (BET) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR).

This study presents a novel way to enhance uniformity of the gas flow inside the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), which is critically important to fuel cell performance, by using dimples. A pattern of dimple, which works as a flow distributor/collector, is designed at the inlet and outlet section of a straight channel gas separator. Size of the dimples and the gap between them were changed to optimize the flow uniformity, and any change in size or gap is considered as one design. The results show that some dimple patterns significantly enhance the uniformity compared to baseline, about 4%, while the others slightly reduce it, about 1%. Besides, the dimple pattern also affects to the pressure drop in the flow channel, however the pressure drop in all cases are negligible (less than 26.4 Pa).

Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) attracts much attention because of its high energy efficiency among many water-electrolysis technologies. SOEC operates at temperatures above 700℃, so that the water required for water-electrolysis must be supplied in the form of steam. When the steam to be supplied to the SOEC is generated by the SOEC system itself, an enormous amount of latent heat is required to vaporize the water, so additional energy must be supplied to the SOEC system. On the other hand, if the steam can be supplied from the outside, a small amount of energy is required to raise the temperature of the low temperature steam, so that the SOEC system can be operated without additional energy supply from outside, which enables efficient water-electrolysis. In this study, we figure out the size of heat exchanger for various steam temperature and effectiveness of heat exchanger, and propose the energy efficiency of the system.

In the near future, with the urgent requirement of environmental protection, hydrogen based energy system is essential. However, at the present time, most of the hydrogen is produced by reforming, which still produces carbon dioxide. This study proposes a high-power electrolytic hydrogen production system based on solid oxide electrolysis cell with no harmful emissions to the environment. Besides that, the parametric study and optimization are also carried to examine the effect of individual parameter and their combination on system efficiency. The result shows that the increase in steam conversion rate and hydrogen molar fraction in incoming stream reduces system efficiency because of the fuel heater power increase. Besides, the higher Faraday efficiency does not always result a higher system efficiency.

In recent years, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) based cogeneration system has received more and more attention from energy researchers because beside electricity, the system also meets the residential thermal demand. However, the low-quality heat exited from PEMFC should be increased temperature before direct use or storage. This study proposes a method to utilize the heat exhausted from a 10 kW PEMFC by coupling a heat pump. Two different configuration using heat pump and a reference layout with heater are analyzed in term of thermal and total efficiency. The system coefficient of performance (COP) increases from 0.87 in layout with heaters to 1.26 and 1.29 in configuration with heat pump and cascade heat pump, respectively. Lastly, based on system performance result, another study in economics point of view is proposed.

국내 소비 에너지의 대부분을 해외에 의존하는 실정에서 2004년 현재 배럴당 $35를 넘는 고유가로 인해 원유수입액이 국가 경제에 큰 부담이 되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 수송용 연료 사용의 지속적인 증가에 따라, 특히, 인구가 밀집한 도심지의 대기오염도는 우려할만한 상황에 이르렀다. 국내 운행 자동차에 의한 석유 소비량은 전체 석유 소비량 중 30% 정도가 수송연료로 쓰이고 있고, 운행차량 중 약30%가 매연, 아황산가스 배출에 대한 기여도가 높은 디젤차량 이어서, 효율면에서 유리한 디젤엔진의 디젤 연료를 대체할 수 있는 초 청정연료에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다.

취사용 청정연료의 접근성 및 사용을 확대하고자 하는 세계적인 관심과 노력에도 불구하고, 여전히 전세계 인구의 약 1/3 이상이 청정 취사시설을 이용하지 못하고 있다. 그들은 전통적인 방식의 바이오매스, 즉 농작물, 가축분뇨, 목재 등을 취사용 연료로 사용하고 있으며 이로 인한 건강 및 경제적 피해는 심각한 수준이다. 개발도상국의 취사용 연료 선택 및 전환을 이해하고자 하는 다수의 연구는 가구주의 특성을 주요 결정요인 중 하나로 다뤄왔다. 그러나 가구 내 의사결정은 가구주에 의해 독단적으로 수행되지 않으며 가구원 간의 상대적인 특성 등에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구는 가구주를 포함한 캄보디아 부부를 대상으로 남녀 배우자 각각의 특성을 모두 고려하여 취사용 연료 결정요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 근로활동, 교육 수준, 미디어 이용 빈도 등 남녀 배우자 간의 특성이 연료 결정에 미치는 영향이 서로 다르게 나타났다. 본 연구는 취사용 연료 결정요인을 분석하는 데 이전에 다뤄지지 않은 배우자의 특성을 고려한다는 점과 캄보디아를 대상으로 한 연구를 찾아보기 어렵다는 점에서 캄보디아의 청정연료 확대를 위한 보다 정교한 정책 개발에 기여할 것이라 기대한다.
