If the hydrogen industry is activated, the introduction of C-type and pressurized liquefied hydrogen (LH2) tank suitable for small and medium-sized transp- ortation and storage will be given priority in the future. Therefore in this paper, the behavior for the LH2 property changes and boil-off gas (BOG) treatment of the C-type cargo tank through voyage of the LH2 carrier and pressurized tank of the LH2 receiving terminal were analyzed through computational simulations by making assumptions about the carrier operation and unloading conditions.

Carbon neutrality policies have been strengthened to reduce emissions, and the importance of technology road maps has been emphasized. In the global industrial boiler market, carbon neutrality is implemented through fuel diversification of methane-hydrogen mixture gas. However, various problems such as flashback and flame unstability arise. There is a limit to implementing the actual system as it remains in the early stage. Therefore, it is necessary to secure the source technology of methane-hydrogen hybrid combustion system applicable to industrial fields. In this study, control program for methane-hydrogen fuel conversion was developed to expect various parameters. After determining the hydrogen mixing ratio and the input air flow, the fuel conversion control algorithm was constructed to get the parameters that achieve the target oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. LabVIEW program was used to derive correlations among hydrogen mixing rate, oxygen concentration in exhaust gas, input amount of air and heating value.

Experimental data conducted by Colson et al. and numerical data conducted in this study were compared through counterflow flames to understand of the characteristic of basic flame about mixture of ammonia/methane. In order to use the suitable numerical mechanism, the validation was performed using total four mechanisms and the Okafor's mechanism showed satisfactory experimental results. The extinction boundary of the stability map could be explained through the effective Lewis number and the trend of LeD. The extinction behavior of the flame was different under the lean and rich symmetric conditions and it was investigated by the major variables, global strain rate (a_g) and mole fraction of ammonia (Ω_NH3).

A fuel handling process combined with a pressure swing adsorption system (PSA) was simulated to produce pure hydrogen with a purity greater than 99.97%. The simulation consists of two parts. The fuel processing part consisting of reformer and water-gas shift reaction was simulated with Aspen plus^®, and the hydrogen purification part consisting of PSA was simulated with Aspen Adsorption^®. In this study, the effect of reformer temperature and pressure on the total hydrogen production yield was investigated. Simulations were performed over a temperature range of 700 to 1,000℃ and a pressure range of 1 to 10 bar. The total hydrogen production yield increased with increasing temperature and decreasing pressure. The maximum hydrogen yield was less than 50% in the simulation and will be lower in the real process.

The purpose of this study was to propose a design that shows optimal performance by changing the geometry of the internal flow path of the receptacle in order to prevent the decrease in flow rate and differential pressure performance due to the application of the receptacle in the hydrogen charging system. To achieve this, 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation was performed for the receptacle, according to the geometry of the flow path inside the receptacle. The pressure results at the inlet and outlet were measured the same as both of N and H₂ in the experiment, and the flow rate of H₂ was 3.75 times higher than that of N₂. In addition, since the flow performance of the receptacle improved under conditions where the flow path was widened, it was confirmed that reducing the diameter of the poppet and the width of the guide are advantageous for improving performance.

In this study, in order to propose a modular method for type IV high aspect ratio modular hydrogen storage vessel, a numerical analysis was conducted on the heat transfer behavior in series and parallel connection methods, and the differences according to each connection method were reviewed. Computational fluid dynamics software was used to check the internal temperature and pressure values of the hydrogen storage container under charging conditions. In terms of thermal safety when charging hydrogen gas, it was confirmed that the parallel modularization method was superior.

An experimental study was conducted on a 4-stroke direct injection diesel engine to examine the combustion and emission characteristics of 1-octanol/diesel fuel blends. The concentration of 1-octanol in the fuel blends was 10%, 30%, and 50% by volume. Experiments were conducted by varying the engine torque from 6 Nm to 12 Nm at the same engine speed of 2,700 rpm. Results showed that the fuel conversion efficiency increased as the 1-octanol proportion increased under most experimental conditions. However, the brake specific fuel consumption increased due to the relatively low lower heating value of 1-octanol. The smoke opacity and the concentrations of NO_x and CO emissions generally decreased with brake mean effective pressure as the 1-octanol proportion increased. On the other hand, the unburned hydrocarbon concentration increased with an ascending ratio of 1-octanol.

The fuel cell in fuel cell electric vehicle utilizes oxygen in the atmosphere, which requires the use of an air cleaner system to minimize the intake of harmful pollutants. To estimate the performance of the air cleaner system, the pressure drop between the filter inlet and outlet is used under the rated air flow condition. In this study, the effect of sensor error in this air cleaner testing is experimentally carried out. It is found that the errors of the temperature sensor does not significantly affect the estimation of pressure drop. However, in the case of the pressure sensor, 5% sensor error results in the error of pressure drop estimation by 3%. Therefore, it is recommended that the measurement accuracy of the pressure sensor mounted in test system should be maintained at less than 5%.

Interest in hydrogen productions that do not emit carbon dioxide and can produce hydrogen at a low price is increasing. Reforming and electrolysis are widely used, but they have limitations, such as carbon dioxide problems and costs. The methane can be decomposed as hydrogen and solid carbon without carbon dioxide emission at high temperatures. In this research, the methane pyrolysis experiment was conducted at 1,200℃ and 1,400℃ in a ceramic tube. The composition of the produced gas was measured by gas chromatography before carbon blocked the tube. The methane conversion rate and hydrogen selectivity were calculated based on the results. The hydrogen selectivity was derived as 60% and 55% at the highest point at 1,200℃ and 1,400℃, respectively. The produced solid carbon was expected to be carbon black and was analyzed using scanning electron microscope.

In this study, we synthesized a poly(pheneylene oxide) (PPO)-based organic/inorganic composite membrane having silicotungstic acid (STA) for the development of an anion exchange membrane with excellent ionic conductivity and physicochemical stability. The organic/inorganic composite membranes were prepared by introducing different STA contents (0 wt%, 10 wt%, 30 wt%, and 50 wt%) into the quaternizaed(Q)-PPO matrix. The prepared anion exchange membranes were subjected to structural analysis by proton neclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared, and thermal behavior of membranes was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis. Among the prepared composite membranes, the ion conductivity of Q-PPO/STA-50 (40.5 mS cm^-1) showed 1.46 times compared to that of the pristine membrane (27.6 mS cm^-1). Therefore, these results demonstrated that organic/inorganic composite membranes are promising candidates for application of anion exchange membranes.
