This study presents a prediction methodology of transport properties using the methane-based TRAPP (m-TRAPP) method in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions including both subcritical and supercritical regions, in order to obtain thermo-physical properties for hydrocarbon aviation fuels and their products resulting from endothermic reactions. The viscosity and thermal conductivity are predicted in the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K and the pressure from 0.1 to 5.0 MPa, which includes all of the liquid, gas, and the supercitical regions of representative hydrocarbon fuels. The predicted values are compared with those data obtained from the NIST database. It was demonstrated that the m-TRAPP method can give reasonable predictions of both viscosity and thermal conductivity in the wide range of temperature and pressure conditions studied in this paper. However, there still exists large discrepancy between the current data and established values by NIST, especially for the liquid phase. Compared to the thermal conductivity predictions, the calculated viscosities are in better agreement with the NIST database. In order to consider a wide range of conditions, it is suggested to select an appropriate method through further comparison with another improved prediction methodologies of transport properties.

A technological review and analysis were performed on thermal cracking of aviation hydrocarbon fuels that circulate as coolants in regenerative cooling systems of hypersonic flights. Liquid hydrocarbons decompose into low-carbon-number hydrocarbons when they absorb a considerable amount of energy at extremely high temperatures, and these thermal cracking behaviors are represented by heat sink capacity, conversion ratio, reaction products, and coking propensity. These parameters are closely interrelated, and thus, they must be considered for optimum performance in terms of the overall heat absorption in the regenerative cooling system and supersonic combustion in the scramjet engine.

In this paper, the effects of oxygen component in blended fuel on the exhaust emissions have been investigated far direct injection diesel engine. It was tested to estimate change of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics for th? commercial diesel fuel and oxygenated blended fuels which have three kinds of fuels and various mixed rates. And, it was tried to analyze not only total hydrocarbon but individual hydrocarbons(C$_1$∼ C$\_$6/) in exhaust gases using gas chromatography to seek the reason far remarkable reduction of smoke emission on various oxygenated fuels. This study carried out by comparing the chromatogram with diesel fuel and diesel fuel blended DGM(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether), MTBE(methyl tart-butyl ether) and EGBE(ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether). The results of this study show that individual hydrocarbons as well as total hydrocarbon of oxygenated fuel are reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel.

An experimental study was carried out to understand the spray characteristics of three kinds(kerosene, heating oil & diesel) of hydrocarbon-fuels. Fuel temperature and injection pressure were main variables in the experiment. Fuel Temperature was changed to obtain various levels of fuel viscosity. Spray angle and spray length were measured by using LVS(Laser Vapor Screen) photographs. 1D PDPA system was used to measure droplet size & droplet velocity. In room temperature, spray characteristics of three kinds of fuels were good, especially in case the fuel injection pressure was more than $6Kgf/cm^2$ It was also found that spray characteristics were poor in case fuel kinematic viscosity was more than 5cSt.

우주 발사체에서 고밀도 추진제를 사용함으로써 추진제 저장 탱크의 소형화에 따른 구조비 향상으로 발사체 성능 측면에서 이득을 볼 수 있다. 한국의 우주 발사체 개발에서는 로켓 연료로 발사체 선진국에서 사용하는 탄화수소계 연료인 RP-1이나 RG-1보다 밀도가 낮은 Jet A-1을 연료로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 탄화수소계 연료 고밀도화의 일환으로 개발된 두 종류의 연료에 대해 수류시험, 연소시험 결과를 제시하고 그 결과를 Jet A-1과 비교하였다. 결론적으로, 두 종류의 고밀도 연료는 Jet A-1과 동등하거나 높은 연소성능을 나타내었으며 외부혼합형 분사기에서 연료 간 성능차이가 더 뚜렷하게 나타났다.

As fuel cells approach commercialization, hydrogen production becomes a critical step in the overall energy conversion pathway. Reforming is a process that produces a hydrogen-rich gas from hydrocarbon fuels. Hydrogen production via autothermal reforming (ATR) is particularly attractive for applications that demand a quick start-up and response time in a compact size. However, further research is required to optimize the performance of autothermal reformers and accurate models of reactor performance must be developed and validated. The design includes the requirement of accommodating a wide range of experimental set ups. Factors considered in the design of the reformer are capability to use multiple fuels, ability to vary stoichiometry, precise temperature and pressure control, implementation of enhancement methods, capability to implement variable catalyst positions and catalyst arrangement, ability to monitor and change reactant mixing, and proper implementation of data acquisition. A model of the system was first developed in order to calculate flowrates, heating, space velocity, and other important parameters needed to select the hardware that comprises the reformer. Predicted performance will be compared to actual data once the reformer construction is completed. This comparison will quantify the accuracy of the model and should point to areas where further model development is required. The end result will be a research tool that allows engineers to optimize hydrogen production via autothermal reformation.

비행체 속도를 증가시키기 위한 극초음속 항공기 기술 연구가 그동안 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 비행체의 속도증가는 비행체 구조의 변형을 유발할 수 있는 열적부하를 야기한다. 이러한 열적부하 처리를 위해 탄화수소형 흡열연료를 이용한 비행체 냉각에 대한 연구가 미국, 프랑스, 러시아 등 선진국에서 이루어지고 있다. 흡열연료(Endothermic fuels)는 열분해 또는 촉매분해와 같은 흡열반응(Endothermic reaction)을 통해 열을 흡수하는 액체 탄화수소 비행체 연료이다. 본 연구에서는 흡열연료의 모델연료로써 methylcyclohexane, n-octane, n-dodecane을 선정하여 흡열특성 연구를 진행하였다. 실험조건은 흡열연료가 사용되는 각 연료의 초임계 조건이며 온도별 분해율 분석, 열분해 생성물분석, 흡열량 계산을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 목표는 모델연료의 흡열특성을 규명함으로써 실제 비행체에 널리 사용되는 케로신 연료의 흡열특성 예측에 기여하는 것이다.

극초음속 항공기 기술의 발전은 비행체 속도를 증가시키기 위해 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 비행체의 속도가 증가할수록 엔진에서 발생되는 열과 공기와의 마찰열이 증가하게 된다. 이러한 열적부하 처리를 위해 탄화수소형 흡열연료를 이용한 비행체 냉각에 대한 연구가 미국, 프랑스, 러시아 등 선진국에서 이루어지고 있다. 흡열연료(Endothermic fuels)는 열분해 또는 촉매분해와 같은 흡열반응(Endothermic reaction)을 통해 열을 흡수하는 액체 탄화수소 비행체 연료이다. 본 연구에서는 흡열연료의 모델연료로써 methylcyclohexane, n-octane, n-dodecane을 선정하여 흡열특성 연구를 진행하였다. 실험조건은 흡열연료가 사용되는 각 연료의 초임계 조건이며 온도별 분해율 분석, 열분해 생성물분석, 흡열량 계산을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 목표는 모델연료의 흡열특성을 규명함으로써 실제 비행체에 널리 사용되는 케로신 연료의 흡열특성 예측에 기여하는 것이다.

HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) hydrogen engine has relatively narrower operation range caused by knock occurrence due to the rapid pressure rising by using higher compression ratio. In this study, EGR as one of the countermeasure methods is considered to extend operation range of HCCI hydrogen engine. Also, the effects of hydrogen EGR are compared with the effects of EGR using hydrocarbon fuel. Hydrocarbon EGR is carried out by adding carbon dioxide to exhaust gas of HCCI hydrogen engine. As the results, EGR has positive effects on a HCCI hydrogen engine in reducing rate of pressure rise as same as the other engines used hydrocarbon fuels. However, the effects of hydrogen EGR are better than those of hydrocarbon EGR in decreasing minimum compression ratio and rate of pressure rise. When applying EGR to HCCI hydrogen engine by 20% rate, the rate of pressure rise decreases by 58% and it results in about 48% increase of the operation range in terms of supply energy.
