상용 CFD 소프트웨어 FLUENT를 이용하여 혼합탱크 내에서 DME와 Propane 두 가지 액화연료의 혼합에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 직경 1 m, 높이 2.5 m의 3D 혼합탱크를 모사하고 혼합탱크 상부에 DME가 146 l, 하부에 프로판 770 l가 존재하는 초기조건을 설정하여 34시간 동안 시뮬레이션을 진행하였으며, 시간대별 혼합 및 유동특성에 대하여 알아보았다. 혼합연료는 약 24시간 경과 후 3 mol% 범위 내에서 균일하게 혼합되었으며, 34시간 경과 시 1 mol% 내에서 균일하게 혼합되었다. 4시간 이후의 시뮬레이션 결과는 한국가스공사에서 수행된 DME 연료 실증 시험연구 기술개발 실험결과와 상당히 일치함을 확인하였다.

지구온난화와 화석연료 고갈 문제의 해결을 위하여 대체 연료 개발에 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 암모니아(NH3)는 수소와 마찬가지로 탄소를 포함하고 있지 않으면서 대표적인 수소 캐리어이다. 또한, 상온에서 0.6 MPa 정도의 압력을 가하면 액상을 유지할 수 있어 LPG 충전인프라를 그대로 사용가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 암모니아를 가솔린과 함께 혼소시켰으며, 혼소 비율에 따른 엔진 성능을 비교하였다. 암모니아와 가솔린의 혼소를 위하여 가솔린 인젝터와 암모니아용 인젝터를 각각 사용하였으며, 암모니아는 액상으로 분사시켰다. 암모니아-가솔린 혼소 엔진의 최대 장점은 가솔린 대체량에 비례하여 이산화탄소 배출량을 크 게 감소시킬 수 있다는 것이다. 하지만 암모니아-가솔린 혼소율에 따라 연소가 불안정한 구간이 있었으며, 암모니아 혼소 비율 0.7 이상에서는 연소 불안정성 증가로 인해 토크와 NOx 배출량이 감소하고, THC 배출량이 급증하였다.

In this study, the performance of high-pressure fuel pumps was compared to find a high-pressure pump suitable for dimethyl ether (DME) fuel, and to establish a database of basic data on flow rates. The use of DME in compression ignition engines can reduce pollutant emissions. The cetane value of DME is higher than that of diesel fuel. The physical properties of DME are similar to liquefied gasoline gas (LPG), and when pressurized at a pressure of 6 bar or more, it changes from gas to liquid. Two types of high pressure pumps used in this study were independent injection type pump and a wobble plate type pump. Two high-pressure pumps with different injection types were compared. By measuring and comparing the performance changes of the two high-pressure pumps, a pump suitable for DME was selected and performance improvement measures were proposed. The changed experimental conditions to measure the performance change of the high pressure pump were increased in the units of 100 to 1,000 rpm and 100 rpm, and the experiment was performed at common rail pressures 300 and 400 bar. it was confirmed that the DME inside the fuel supply system remained in a liquid state through temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and pressure gauges. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the flow rate discharged from the high-pressure fuel pump increased as the motor rotational speed increased, and the flow rate of the high-pressure fuel pump

This paper has an aim to study the effect of PWHT and its conditions(peak temperature and holding time) on the tensile properties and impact toughness of FCAW weld metal in relation to microstructure. Impact toughness was evaluated to apply the cargo tank of liquified gas carriers under the various PWHT condition of each class societies. On the basis of these study, it was found that PWHT conditions within all class societies affect charpy absorbed energy of weld metal little or no, all PWHT weld metals kept similar level of charpy absorbed energy as as-weld weld metal down-to $-60^{\circ}C$ and finally indicated lower energy value than that of as-weld weld metal at $-75^{\circ}C$. It is because the precipitation of 2nd phase was controlled from welding consumable and the grain size was grown by PWHT.

The fuel system of a vehicle is a very important compotent, as it provides the firing resources to the combustion chamber of the engine. However, improper operation of the system can generate bad condition or start-off during engine revolution. This study analyzed several examples of failure that had originated in the field. In the first example, the driver operated a vehicle containing both gasoline and LPG in the fuel tank, but the gasoline fuel remained unused for a few months. Therefore the fuel pump was clogged because of gasoline congelation. The second example, dealt with fuel leakage that occurred from the slightly torn O-ring connecting the fuel lines. The third example, pertained to engine damage and power-down owing to the usage of proor-quality fuel and ingredient. Therefore, it is necessary to take adequate measures to prevent the failure of the fuel system of vehicle.

These days, to change the new & renewable energy change the subject because environmental pollution and exhausted fossil power. The most notable Fuel cells by one of the new & renewable energies are one of very useful power conversion sources. Their advantages are low environmental pollution, highly efficient power generation, diversity of fuels (natural gas, LPG, methanol and naphtha), and reusability of exhaust heat, modularity, and faster installation. PEMFC by one of the Fuel Cells is the energy of new technology which is produced by the electric chemical reaction directly. The essential composition elements of PEMFC stack are membrane electrode assembly (MEA), catalyst, Bipolar Plate. Under the this study, know-how is manufacturing single cell of PEMFC and Study design of Low Voltage, Low Electric Power System by PEMFC Single Cell.

A combined hydrogen generator of plasma and catalytic reformer was developed, and was applied to stabilize unstable flame of 200,000 Kcal/hr LPG combustor. The role of the plasma reformer was to generate hydrogen in a short period and to heat-up the catalytic reformer during the start-up time. After the start-up period, the catalytic reformer generates hydrogen through steam reforming with oxygen (SRO) reactions. The maximum capacity of the hydrogen generator was enough 100 lpm to stabilize the flame of the present combustor. In order to reduce NOx and CO emissions simultaneously, 1) FGR (Flue Gas Recirculation) technique has been adopted and 2) the hydrogen was added into the fuel supplied to the combustor. Test results showed that the addition of 25% hydrogen and 30% FGR rate lead to simultaneous decrease of CO and NOx emissions. The technique developed in the present study showed good potential to replace $NH_3$ SCR technique, especially in the small-scale combustor applications.

열처리로에 적용되는 소형 축열식 복사관 버너시스템에 사용될 축열기를 설계하고 그 성능을 평가하였다. 좁은 튜브간 간격을 갖는 U형 복사관에 축열기를 적용하기 위하여 상하단 단면적이 다른 축열기를 설계, 적용하였다. 구형축열체를 사용하는 2만kcal/hr급 축열기 설계에는 기존에 개발된 축열기 해석코드를 이용하였다. 실제 시스템에 적용하여 축열기 전후단의 온도 및 압력을 실시간으로 측정하였다. 그 결과를 축열기 해석코드로부터 얻은 배가스의 배출온도와 공기의 예열온도를 비교하였다. 이론적으로 예상된 성능은 80%의 온도효율과 70%의 배열회수율이 얻어졌으나, 실험적 결과로부터는 온도효율이 80%, 배열회수율이69％가 얻어졌다. 가장 큰 성능 차이는 배가스의 배출온도였는데, 이는 실제 시스템에서 열손실에 의한 축열기로의 배가스 유입온도 하락과 실제 운전에서의 공기/배가스 유량의 증가에 의해 기인된다고 판단된다.

The target of this work was the process development of demonstration plant to produce the high quailty alternative fuel oil by the pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste. In the first step of research, the bench-scale units of 70t/y and the pi lot plant of 360 t/v had been developed. Main research contents in this step were the process performance test of pilot plant ot 360ton/year and the development of demonstration plant of 3 000 t/y which was constructed at Korea R & D Company in Kimjae City. The process performance of pilot plant of 360 t/v showed components in PONA group appeared at between that of commercial gasoline and kerosene. On the other hand, HO product was mainly paraffin and olefin components and also appeared at upper temperature distribution range than commercial diesel. Gas product showed a high fraction of $C_3\;and\;C_4$ product like LPG composition, but also a high fraction of $CO_2$ and CO by probably a little leak of process.

In the case of gas carriers and oil tankers, pipes are installed on the upper deck as a moving passage to load LPG, LNG, crude oil, etc. Pipes used for loading or unloading liquid cargo in cargo holds are connected to the hull through support structures. However, many cases of hull damage have been reported where the various equipment and support structures are installed on the upper deck. It is assumed that not only the structural discontinuity where the hull and the pipe support structure meet, but also action due to the pipe loads and the hull girder bending moment are simultaneously affected. This paper deals with the design and strength evaluation of the support structure of pipes and cables installed on the upper deck of commercial ships and offshore structures. For these supporting structures, design conditions and working loads were defined. The design procedure was established through the structure analysis on the method of determining the member dimensions. A series of finite element analysis was performed on the factors to be considered in the design and the effects were discussed. The accuracy and design periods of the strength evaluation was improved and reduced by application of the automation program in the finite element analysis. It is also expected that the design reliability of the shipyard is improved.
