The concept of hydrogen enriched LPG fuelled engine can be essentially characterized as low emissions and reduction of backfire for hydrogen engine. The purpose of study is obtaining low-emission and high-efficiency in LPG engine with hydrogen enrichment. In order to determine the ideal compression ratio, a variable compression ratio single cylinder engine was developed. The objective of this paper is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enriched LPG fuelled engine on exhaust emission, thermal efficiency and performance. The compression ratio of 8 was selected to minimize abnormal combustion. To maintain equal heating value, the amount of LPG was decreased, and hydrogen was gradually added. In a similar manner, the relative air-fuel ratio was increased from 0.8 to 1.3 in increment of 0.1, and the ignition timing was controlled to be at MBT each case.

본 연구에서는 음식물쓰레기를 반탄화 하여 생성된 생성물의 특성 및 온도에 대한 영향을 비교하여 연료화 가능성을 파악하고자 하였다. 반응온도를 $180^{\circ}C{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ 조절하고 열전달방식을 질소가스 열전달방식과 열매체유 열전달방식으로 나누어 실험한 결과 생성물의 생산 수율과 수분함량은 온도가 높아짐에 따라 감소하였고 특히 $240^{\circ}C$이상에서는 수분감소 뿐만 아니라 열적변화도 확인 할 수 있었다. 반응온도가 낮을수록 열매체유 열전달방식이 수분감소에 더 좋은 열전달 효율을 보였지만 온도가 높아질수록 그 차이는 미미한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 발열량의 경우 초기 660 Kcal/kg 에서 질소가스 열전달방식 6,400 Kcal/kg 간접방식 6,890 Kcal/kg 으로 상승 되었고, 원소분석결과 반응온도가 상승할수록 반탄화 생성물의 탄소원소의 함량증가와 산소원소 함량 감소를 확인 하였으며 석탄밴드 분석결과 저급석탄에 가까운 H/C와 O/C의 범위를 나타내었다. 음식물쓰레기를 반탄화를 통하여 연료개질이 가능하다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 반응온도가 높아질수록 저급석탄에 더 가까워짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

In recent printed electronics technology, Photo-Sintering, a technique for sintering materials using a light source, has attracted attention as an alternative to time-consuming high-temperature thermal processes. The key principle of this technique is the selective heating of a strongly absorbent thin film, while preventing the heating of the transparent substrate by the light source. Many recent studies have used a flash lamp as the light source, and investigated the material-dependent effect of the width or intensity of the pulsed light. However, the flash lamp for sintering is not suitable for industry yet, because of needing too high power to sinter for a large scale. In energy-saving and large-scale sintering, LED technologies would be very useful in the near future. In this work, we investigated a sintering process for silver nanoparticles using UV-LED array. Silver nanoparticles in ink were inkjet-printed on a $1{\times}1cm$ area of a PET film and photo-sintered by 365 nm UV-LED module. A sheet resistance value as low as $72.6m{\Omega}/sq$ (2.3 - 4.5 times that of bulk silver) was obtained from the UV-LED sintering at 300 mW/cm2 for 50 min.

This study was conducted to investigate the pyrolysis characteristics of switchgrass using TGA-FTIR instrument. Switchgrass is a high yielding perennial grass that has been designated as a potential energy crop, because of its high energy value. Ground switchgrass were pyrolysed at different heating rates of 10, 20, 30, and $40^{\circ}C/min$ in a TGA-FTIR instrument. The thermal decomposition characteristics of switchgrass were analyzed, and the gases volatilized during the experiment were identified. The thermal decomposition of switchgrass started at approximately $220^{\circ}C$, followed by a major loss of weight, where the main volatilization occurred, and the thermal decomposition was essentially completed by $430^{\circ}C$. The pyrolysis process was found to compose of four stages; moisture evaporation, hemicellulose decomposition, cellulose decomposition, and lignin degradation. The peak temperatures for hemicellulose decomposition ($306^{\circ}C$ to $327^{\circ}C$) and cellulose decomposition ($351^{\circ}C$ to $369^{\circ}C$) were increased with greater heating rates. FTIR analysis showed that the following gases were released during the pyrolysis of switchgrass; $CO_2$, CO, $CH_4$, $NH_3$, COS, $C_{2}H_{4}$, and some acetic acid. The most gas species were released at low temperature from 310 to $380^{\circ}C$, which was corresponding well with the observation of thermal decomposition.

Due to its carbon-neutral nature, biogas generated from anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable wastes is one of the important renewable energy sources to reduce global warming. It is mainly composed of methane and various inert gases such as $CO_2$ and $N_2$, and the actual composition of biogas significantly varies depending on the origin of anaerobic digestion process. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize this fuel as an energy source for electricity, it is important to develop power generation engines which can successfully apply biogas with significant composition variations. In this study, efforts have been made to develop a diesel-biogas duel fuel engine as a way to achieve such a stable power generation. The effects of diesel fuel injection quantity and pressure on stable combustion and engine performance were investigated, and an impact of diesel fuel atomization was discussed. The engine test results show that there exists a 2 stage combustion which consists of diesel pilot fuel burning and premixed biogas/air mixture burning in dual fuel engine operation and optimum diesel injection parameters were suggested for biogases with various compositions and heating values.

We present the low temperature (${\leq}1,000^{\circ}C$) vacuum sublimation behavior of an e-beam evaporative deposited on a SiC film and a method to reduce the vacuum sublimation through an ion beam process. The density of the SiC film deposited using the e-beam evaporation method was ~60% of the density of the bulk source material. We found that the sublimation became appreciable above ${\sim}750^{\circ}C$ under $1.5{\times}10^{-5}$ torr pressure and the sublimation rate increased with an increase in temperature, reaching ~70 nm/h at $950^{\circ}C$ when the coated sample was heated for 5 h. When the film was irradiated with 70 keV N+ ions prior to heating, the sublimation rate decreased to ~23 nm/h at a fluence of $1{\times}10^{17}\;ions/cm^2$. However, a further increase in fluence beyond this value or an extended heating period did not change (decrease or increase) the sublimation rate any further.

This study examined the natural convection heat flow characteristics of the melting process of PCM (palm oil) inside a liquid flexitank(bag) for a cargo container. A film heating element was installed on the bottom of the container, and numerical analysis was performed under heat flux conditions of 1,000 to 4,000 W/m². As a result, the melt interface of the PCM rises to a nearly horizontal state over time. In the initial stage, conduction heat transfer dominates, but gradually waves at the cell flow and melt interfaces are formed due to natural convection heat transfer. As melting progresses, the Ra number increases parabolically, and the Nu number increases linearly and has a constant value. The Nu number rises slowly under low heat flux conditions, whereas under high heat flux conditions, the Nu number rises rapidly. As the heat flux increases, the internal temperature oscillation of the liquid phase after melting increases. However, under high heat flux conditions, excess heat exceeding the latent heat is generated, and the temperature of the molten liquid is raised, so the increase in melting rate decreases. Therefore, the appropriate heating element specification applied to a 20-ton palm oil container is 2,000 W/m².

For investigation of electrical properties of XLPE cable termination, we prepared a thermal contraction type kit and 6.6kV XLPE cable. The cable termination that have simulated defect by badness construction have been manufactured and their insulation characteristics such as ac and impulse withstand test have been measured. The influence of defects such as thickness decrease and heating time have been studied. When thickness decreased 1mm, the decreased of AC breakdown voltage value is not very distinctive. However, when thickness decreased 2mm, the insulation AC breakdown voltage value was very low down to 43kV. When approved heat for 300s than 60s, AC Breakdown voltage value appeared high. And also, after insulation breakdown took place, the sample was observed before and after disassembly, and the insulation breakdown hole was observed by means of optical microscope.

Grape seed oil was characterized to assess the usefulness in the food industry. Among the various oils, the initial antioxidant activity was the highest for grape seed oil. Heating the oil at $180^{\sim}C$ for 20 min retained 86% of the initial activity. Grape seed and sesame oils showed a low peroxide value, about 2, implying a less oxidative reaction. The oxidation of grape seed oil was increased to a less extent by heat-treatment than other oils. Light exposure for 1 month resulted in a slight decrease in the antioxidant activity of grape seed oil, maintaining 96% of the initial activity. Other oils were all light-susceptible and the activities decreased significantly. The peroxide values of all the oils increased by light exposure, but the extent of oxidation was still the least for grape seed oil. The addition of grape seed oil to perilla oil was very effective, in that the peroxide value was 5-times decreased by 1 : 5 composition of grape seed oil versus perilla oil. These results indicate that grape seed oil can be used as a good cooking oil or an additive for other oils.
