We have studied, for maximizing the total impulse of liquid propulsion system, Propellant Utilization System (PUS) to minimize outage of propellant. Propellant outage is mainly influenced by propellant mixture ratio during flight and real quantity of loaded propellant. If one employs cryogenic propellant, the variation of propellant density due to the temperature change has major effect on outage control. Feedback control of propellant level of each tank during flight could deplete both tanks simultaneously. To introduce this system, however, the mixture ratio control system of rocket engine is necessary.

초임계 난류유동이 활용되고 있는 가장 대표적인 시스템은 액체로켓연소기이다. 액체로켓엔진은 목적하는 임무에 따라 추력이 결정되고 엔진의 추력이 결정된다. 이러한 추력을 결정하는 핵심부품이 분사기(injector)이다. 실용 인공위성을 발사하기 위한 액체로켓엔진의 연소기는 수백 개의 분사기를 통해 연료와 산화제가 혼합되는 구조를 가지고 있다. 따라서 로켓연소기의 연소특성 및 성능은 분사기의 혼합특성에 좌우된다. 그러므로 단일 분사기의 연료/산화제 혼합특성에 대한 많은 실험과 해석연구가 진행되고 있다. 그런데 초임계압력에서는 액체의 표면장력이 사라지게 되어 독특한 혼합특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 성능을 높여주기 위하여 초임계 압력을 선택할 경우 분사기에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 이 글에서는 이러한 초임계 작동압력에서 분사기에 대한 연구들을 소개하고자 한다.

The composite anodes of exfoliated graphite (EG) and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were fabricated by using the binders with different content of epoxy in Nafion solution. The influence of the epoxy content in the anode binder on the performance of microbial fuel cell (MFC) was examined in a batch reactor. With the increase in the epoxy content in the anode binder, increase in physical binding force was observed, but at the same time an increase in the internal resistance of MFC was also observed. This was due to the increase in activation and ohmic resistance. For the anode binder without epoxy, the maximum power density was $1,892mW/m^2$, but a decrease in maximum power density was observed with the increase in the epoxy content in the anode binder. With the epoxy content of 50% in the anode binder, a decrease in the maximum power density to $1,425mW/m^2$ was observed, which about 75.3% of the anode binder without epoxy is. However, the material consisting of the same amount of epoxy and Nafion solution is a good alternative for anode binder in terms of durability and economics of MFC.

For the prediction of combustion performance of the Unlike Impinging Quadlet Injector (OOOF type), mixing efficiency, mixing characteristic velocity, and efficiency of mixing characteristic velocity were obtained from the cold test. Water/kerosene were used for simulants, The momentum ratio of oxidizer and fuel were mixing correlating parameter. Orifice discharge coefficient, spray pattern and mass distribution were measured. As a result, invasion-depth had strong effect on mixing efficiency, mixing characteristic velocity, and efficiency of mixing characteristic velocity. Mixing efficiency and efficiency of mixing characteristic velocity showed maximum value for momentum ratio 1.67(TMR = 2.5), and fuel rich state showed larger decreasing ratio than oxidizer rich state.

The composite anodes of expanded graphite (EG) and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) for microbial fuel cells were fabricated by using coal tar pitch (CTP) binder containing nickel (Ni), and the effect of the anodes with the binders on the performance of the MFCs were examined in a batch reactor. During the start-up of the MFCs, quick increase in voltage was observed after a short lag phase time, indicating that the CTP binder is biocompatible. The biomass attatched on the anode surface was more at higher Ni content in the binder, as well as at smaller amount of CTP binder for the fabrication of the anode. The internal resistance of the MFC was smaller for the anode with more biomass. Based on the results, the ideal combination of CTP and Ni for the CTP binder for anode was 2 g and 0.2 g, respectively. The maximum power density was $731.8mW/m^2$, which was higher 23.7% than the anode with Nafion binder as control. The CTP binder containing Ni for the fabrication of anode is a good alternative in terms of performance and economics of MFCs.

Highly conducting Polypyrroles soluble in organic solvents were synthesized using functional doping agents, such as mixed dopants [sodium di(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (DEHSNa) Naphthalenesulfonic acid (NSA), DEHSNa Toluenesulfonic acid (TSA), DEHSNa Dodecylbenzensulfonic acid (DBSA)] and mixed oxidants [$(NH_4)_2S_2O_8{\cdot}FeCl_3$, $(NH_4)_2S_2O_8{\cdot}Fe_2(SO_4)_3$]. Ppy-DEHS powder using an oxidant, such as $(NH_4)_2S_2O_8$ (10 wt%/vol.) showed higher solubility than the mixed dopant (DEHSNa NSA, 3 wt%/vol.) and mixed oxidant [$(NH_4)_2S_2O_8{\cdot}Fe_2(SO_4)_3$, 4 wt%/vol.] in DMF solvent. But Ppy-DEHS free standing film using a mixed dopant, such as DEHSNa NSA (16 S/cm) and a mixed oxidant, such as $(NH_4)_2S_2O_8{\cdot}Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ (13 S/cm) cast from DMF solvent showed higher electrical conductivity than $(NH_4)_2S_2O_8$ (2 S/cm). For the Ppy-DEHS films using various condition cast from DMF solvent, three dimensional various range hopping model (3D VRH ; $\{{\sigma}_{dc}(T)={\sigma}_oexp[-(T_o/T)^{1/4}]\}$) provided fit to the results of temperature dependence of electrical conductivity measurement.

In this study, an environmental-friendly cleaning agent utilizing organic acids and various additives has been developed and applied to the field for removal of scale deposited on the cleaning beds or distribution reservoirs of the waterworks. As an analytical result of scale on the cleaning beds, we found that it consists of mainly metallic oxides such as $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$, and MnO. Malic acid, malonic acid, and citric acid showed relatively better solvency on $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$, and MnO except $SiO_2$ among various organic acids. Mixed organic acid solutions of malic acid, malonic acid, and citric acid were prepared with certain weight ratios and their solvencies on mixed metal oxides of $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$, and MnO were investigated. The experimental results showed that an 10% mixed organic acid solution prepared with weight ratio of malic acid : malonic acid : citric acid = 6 : 2 : 2 were found to have best scale solvency power of about 29%. The formulated cleaning agents with a small amount of nonionic surfactant showed much better solvency on mixed oxides than mixed organic solution alone. Especially, the formulated cleaning agent with 0.2 wt% LA-7 surfactant appeared to have best scale removal efficiency of about 35%. However, the formulated cleaning agent with disinfectants such as NaClO, $H_2O_2$ and $Ca(ClO)_2$ showed poor solvency on mixed oxides. It is inferred that surfactants are able to improve scale removal efficiency due to their capability of emulsification, and disinfectants cause to degrade scale solvency in water because of their oxidation. Based on these basic experimental results, formulated cleaning agents have been prepared with mixed organic acid solution, nonionic surfactants, and disinfectants and successfully applied to removal of scales on the cleaning beds and distribution reservoir at city D waterworks.

The oxidative stability of the ramyon prepared with ricebran oil fortified with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, BHA, TBHQ, and ascorbyl palmitate+citric acid or blended with palm oil was studied to assess the suitability of the oil as the frying oil. The antioxidants were added to a ricebran oil at 0.02% level, respectively, while blended oils were prepared by adding a palm oil to the ricebran oil at ratios of 3:7, 5:5, and 7:3. Ramyon samples were prepared by frying steamed noodel with the oils. They were stored in dark at $35.0{\pm}0^{\circ}C$. for 90 days. Peroxide, acid, iodine values, dielectric constant, and fatty acid composition of the oils extracted from the samples were determined regularly. The oxidative stability of the extracted oils and storage stability of the samples were estimated from the results of the determinations. ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ did not exert any appreciable antioxidant effect on the extracted oil while BHA demonstrated some effect. Ascorbyl palmitate with citric acid and especially TBHQ exerted a considerable effect. The storage stability of the samples fried with the oil fortified with TBHQ was as good as that of the samples prepared with the palm oil. The stability of the samples improved as the palm oil content In the frying oil increased. The stability of the samples fried with the blended oil containing 70f) palm oil was comparable to that of the samples prepared with the pure palm oil

The combustion characteristics of End-Burning hybrid combustor using different types of injector system are numerically investigated to visualize the temperature fields in the combustion chamber The basic characteristics of combustion with different O/F ratio is also analyzed in order to capture the main behavior of diffusion flame inside the swirl induced hybrid combustion chamber It was found that the arrangement of oxidizer injectors give strong effect on the temperature field dominating mixing between fuel and oxidizer. The results show that among five different oxidizer injectors arrangement, the counter flow injector has the highest mixing efficiency. However, the observed high wall temperature presence near the oxidizer injectors remains to be solved.
