Objectives: On December 7, 2007, the Hebei Spirit oil tanker spilled out 12,547 kl of crude oil on the Yellow Sea 10 km away from the cost of Taean Province, Korea. As the coastline has been contaminated, local residents have been exposed to crude oil. Because the residents were showing many symptoms, we investigated the acute health effects of this oil spill on them. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study consisting of the heavy and moderately oil soaked area in Taean and the lightly oil soaked area in Seocheon. Ten seashore villages were selected from each area, and 10 male and female adults were selected from each village. We interviewed the subjects using a structured questionnaire on the characteristics of residents, the cleanup activities, the perception of oil hazard, depression and anxiety, and the physical symptoms. The odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The logistic regression model was adjusted for age, gender, education, smoking, the perception of oil hazard and anxiousness. Results: The more highly contaminated the area, the more likely it was for residents to be engaged in cleanup activities and have a greater chance of exposure to oil. The indexes of anxiety and depression were higher in the heavy and moderately oil soaked areas. The increased risks of headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, tingling of limb, hot flushing, sore throat, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, itchy skin, rash, and sore eyes were significant. Conclusions: The results suggest that exposure to crude oil is associated with various acute physical symptoms. Long-term investigation is required to monitor the residents' health.

We performed an experimental research on lubricant oil in dual fuel medium-speed engines. It is important to select the appropriate lubricant oil because it could significantly affect engine lifetime and performance. We generally recommend the selection of the lubricant oil according to the fuel grades as contents in the project guide. However, it is a considerable challenge for shipyards to implement this concept because of the lack of space to install the complicated lubricating oil system for dual fuel engines. Therefore, we determine the adaptability of one-common lubricant oil for HiMSEN dual fuel engine through this experimental research. To check abnormality in gas mode operation and durability of engine components when a lubricating oil with high BN (base number) is used, overhaul inspections and lubricant oil analysis are carried out two times, and four times, respectively, during an operation of approximately 300 h. We investigated the variations in kinematic viscosity, base number, element quantity, pentane insoluble and sulfated ash in lubricant oil analysis. Moreover, we also investigated whether the deposit formation or wear occurred in various bearings, injectors, exhaust valves, intake valves, piston rings and so on through the overhaul inspections. There are no problems in the lubricant analysis and the overhaul inspections. Through the experimental research, we confirm that one-common lubricant oil should be selected according to the higher sulfur content of fuel oil in dual fuel engines.

중잔유(heavy residual oil)는 원유 정제 후 남는 원유의 잔여물로서, 세계적으로 정제공정(즉, SOx 및 NOx 방출량)과 정제물의 질에 대한 환경 규제가 계속 강화되고 있는 추세에비추어 다른 유류나 석탄에 비해 유황과 중금속(특히 바나듐)을 많이 포함하고 있는 중잔유를 환경적합적으로 활용하는 문제는 시급히 해결해야 하는 과제가 되고 있다.(중략)

Extra heavy vacuum residue oil has advantage as the fuel of a power plant in reducing the cost of power generation. Numerical study is conducted by the KIVA code to understand combustion, heat transfer and flow field characteristics in the test reactor. The combustion model of pulverized coal particles is adopted as the combustion process of extra heavy oil is similar to that of coal. As an initial phase of investigation parametric study is performed with respect to SMD and spray angle of injected spray droplets.

It is very important to estimate static squeezing pressure distributions for lining material of sterntube after bearing at dry dock stage since the maximum squeezing pressure value can be one of the significant characteristics representing coming navigation performances of the propulsion system. Moderate oil film pressure between lining material and propulsion shaft is also essential for safe ship service. In this paper, Hertz contact theory is explained to derive static squeezing pressure. Reynolds equation simplified from Navier-Stokes equation is centrally differentiated to numerically obtain dynamic oil film pressures. New shaft alignment technology of nonlinear elastic multi-support bearing elements is also used in order to obtain external forces acting on lining material of bearing. For 300K DWT class VLCC with synthetic bush of sterntube after bearing, static squeezing pressures are calculated using derived external forces and Hertz contact theory. Optimum partial slope of the after bush is presented by parametric shaft alignment analyses. Dynamic oil film pressures are comparatively evaluated for partially bored and unbored after bush. Finally it is proved that the partial slope can drastically reduce oil film pressure during engine running.

Due to the development of the petroleum refining technology and continuously increased demand from markets, a quantity of gasoline and diesel oil produced from a restricted quantity of crude oil has been increasing, and residual fuel to be used at marine diesel engines has been gradually becoming low quality. As a result, it was recently reported that trouble oils which cause abnormal combustion such as knocking with extreme noise and misfire from internal combustion engines were increasing throughout the world. In this study, an author investigated ignitability and combustion quality by using combustion analyzer with constant volume(FCA, Fuel Combustion Analyzer) and middle speed diesel engine about MDO(Marine Diesel Oil), HFO(Heavy Fuel Oil), LCO(Light Cycle Oil) and Blend-HFO which was blended LCO of 1000 liters with HFO of 600 liters. Moreover, for betterment of ignitability and combustion quality of injected fuels, multi-injection experiment was carried out in the diesel engine using Blend-HFO. According to the results of FCA analysis, ignitability and combustion quality was bad in the order of MDO

열분해 연료유(pyrolysis fuel oil)의 열처리 시 발생되는 구조변화를 파악하기 위하여 열처리 온도에 따라 발생되는 휘발유분(volatile matters) 및 중질유분을 분리하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 중질유분의 수율은 낮아지며, 탄화수율은 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 휘발유분의 $^1H-NMR$ 구조분석 결과, 원료에 포함되어 있던 1~2환 방향족 성분들은 $340^{\circ}C$ 이전의 온도에서 대부분 제거되었으며, $320^{\circ}C$부터는 크래킹 반응에 의하여 방향족 화합물로부터 지방족 탄화수소 곁사슬이 분해됨에 따라 새로운 휘발유분을 생성하는 것을 확인하였다. 한편 중질유분의 원소분석 및 $^1H-NMR$ 구조분석 결과로부터, 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 C/H 몰비 및 방향족화도 값이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 구조분석 결과를 통하여 PFO의 $280{\sim}360^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리에 따른 구조 변화는 비점 차이에 따른 휘발유분의 분리 및 크래킹 반응에 의한 지방족 곁사슬의 분해가 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 일부 화학종 간 중합반응 또한 발생된 것을 확인하였다.

Elliptical bearings are widely used for large steam turbines owing to their excellent load carrying capacity and good dynamic stability. Power loss in bearings is an extremely important parameter, especially for high turbine capacities. Optimization of operation conditions and design variables such as bearing clearance and bearing length can reduce the power loss in elliptical bearings. Although changes in the oil supply method have served to increase the efficiency of the tilting pad journal bearing, it has not explicitly improved elliptical bearings. In this study, we verify the static characteristics of an elliptical bearing by changing the direction of oil supply. We evaluate the bearing power loss and bearing metal temperature, and compare the bearing performance and reliability in different test cases. The direction of oil supply is $90^{\circ}$ (9 o'clock) and $270^{\circ}$ (3 o'clock) when the rotor rotates in a counterclockwise direction. We use an elliptical bearing with an inner diameter and active length of 220.30 and 110.00 mm, respectively. Bearing power loss and bearing metal temperatures are measured and evaluated by rotor rotational speed, oil flow rate, and bearing load. The results reveal a 20 reduction in the power loss when the direction of oil supply is 90. Furthermore, the oil film on the upper part of the bearing has a high temperature when the direction of oil supply is $90^{\circ}$. In contrast, when the direction of oil supply is $270^{\circ}$, the oil film on the upper part of the bearing is relatively cold.

본 연구는 발전소등에서 발생하는 중유회를 재활용한 탈취패널 제조시 활성탄, 규조토등의 첨가제를 활용함으로써 포름알데히드 및 톨루엔에 대한 제거성능을 향상시켜 중유회의 탈취패널 원료로서의 사용가능성을 확인하였다. 단일 첨가제를 사용하여 제작된 중유회 재활용 탈취패널의 경우 포름알데히드에 대해서는 93% 이상, 톨루엔에 대해서는 97% 이상의 제거성능을 보였으나 기준 패널에 비하여 압축강도가 27~63% 감소하였다. 반면에 두 가지 첨가제를 여러 가지 비율로 혼합하여 제조된 것 중 활성탄과 규조토가 5 wt%씩 첨가된 패널은 포름알데히드 84%, 톨루엔 96%의 제거성능을 보였으며 압축강도는 기준패널보다 32%증가하였다. 따라서 첨가제의 혼합사용을 통하여 중유회재활용 탈취패널을 제조할 경우 유해가스 제거성능과 패널의 강도를 향상 시키는 것이 확인되었다.
