선택적 촉매 환원법(SCR)은 질소산화물(NO_x)을 저감하는 매우 효율적인 방법으로 알려져 있으며 발생된 질소산화물(NO_x)을 질소(N₂)와 수증기(H₂O)로 환원시키는데 촉매 작용을 한다. 질소산화물(NO_x) 저감 성능을 결정하는 요소 중 하나인 촉매는 셀 밀도가 증가하면 촉매효율이 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 실습선 세계로호에 설치되어 있는 발전 기관의 배기가스 조건을 모사한 실험장치를 통하여 100CPSI(60Cell)촉매의 부하에 따른 질소산화물(NO_x) 저감 성능을 확인하고 세계로호에 설치되어 있는 25.8CPSI(30Cell) 촉매의 기존 연구 자료와의 비교를 통해, 셀 밀도가 질소산화물(NO_x)의 저감에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 실험용 촉매는 셀 밀도만 변화를 주었고 형태는 벌집형(honeycomb), 조성물질은 V₂O₅-WO₃-TiO₂를 동일하게 사용하여 제작하였다. 실험결과 100CPSI(60Cell) 촉매의 질소산화물(NO_x) 농도 저감율은 평균적으로 88.5%이며 IMO specific NOx 배출량은 0.99g/kwh로 IMO Tier III NOx 배출기준을 만족하였다. 25.8CPSI(30Cell) 촉매의 경우, 질소산화물(NO_x) 농도 저감율은 78%, IMO specific NOx 배출량은 2.00g/kwh 이었다 두 촉매의 NOx 농도 저감율과 IMO specific NOx 배출량을 비교하였을 때, 100CPSI(60Cell)촉매가 25.8CPSI(30Cell) 촉매보다, NOx 농도 저감율은 10.5% 높고 IMO specific NOx 배출량은 약 2배 적은 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 촉매의 셀 밀도를 높임으로써 효율적인 탈질효과를 기대할 수 있으며 향후 실선 테스트를 통하여 검증한다면 촉매의 부피 저감을 통한 제작 비용을 줄이고 협소한 선박 기관실을 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 실용적인 자료로서 기대된다.

North Korea's continuous threats and provocative behaviors have aggravated tension on the Korean peninsula particularly with the recent nuclear weapons test. South Korea's best way to cope with this situation is to maintain the balance among three policy directions: dialogue, sanctions, and deterrence. Among the three, I argue that deterrence should be prioritized. There are different sources of deterrence such as military power, economic power, and diplomatic clouts. States can build deterrence capability independently. Alternatively, they may do so through relations with other states including alliances, bilateral relations, or multilateral relations in the international community. What South Korea needs most urgently is to maintain deterrence against North Korea's local provocations through the enhancement of independent military capability particularly by addressing the asymmetric vulnerability between militaries of the South and the North. Most of all, the South Korean government should recognize the seriousness of the negative consequences that North Korea's 'Nuclear shadow strategy' would bring about for the inter-Korea relations and security situations in Northeast Asia. Based on this understanding, it should develop an 'assertive deterrence strategy' that emphasizes 'multi-purpose, multi-stage, and tailored deterrence whose main idea lies in punitive retaliation.' This deterrence strategy requires a flexible targeting policy and a variety of retaliatory measures capable of taking out all targets in North Korea. At the same time, the force structures of the army, the air force, and the navy should be improved in a way that maximizes their deterrence capability. For example, the army should work on expanding the guided missile command and the special forces command and reforming the reserve forces. The navy and the air force should increase striking capabilities including air-to-ground, ship-to-ground, and submarine-to-ground strikes to a great extent. The marine corps can enhance its deterrence capability by changing the force structure from the stationary defense-oriented one that would have to suffer some degree of troop attrition at the early stage of hostilities to the one that focuses on 'counteroffensive landing operations.' The government should continue efforts for defense reform in order to obtain these capabilities while building the 'Korean-style triad system' that consists of advanced air, ground, and surface/ subsurface weapon systems. Besides these measures, South Korea should start to acquire a minimum level of nuclear potential within the legal boundary that the international law defines. For this, South Korea should withdraw from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. Moreover, it should obtain the right to process and enrich uranium through changing the U.S.-South Korea nuclear cooperation treaty. Whether or not we should be armed with nuclear weapons should not be understood in terms of "all or nothing." We should consider an 'in-between' option as the Japanese case proves. With regard to the wartime OPCON transition, we need to re-consider the timing of the transition as an effort to demonstrate the costliness of North Korea's provocative behaviors. If impossible, South Korea should take measures to make the Strategic Alliance 2015 serve as a persisting deterrence system against North Korea. As the last point, all the following governments of South Korea should keep in mind that continuing reconciliatory efforts should always be pursued along with other security policies toward North Korea.

North Korea's 4th nuclear test on Jan. 6 and following developments once again awakened the world into seriousness of the nuclear matters on the Korean peninsula. On March 2, UNSC adopted Resolution 2270 which is complemented by Seoul government's measures such as withdrawal from the Gaesung Industrial Complex (Feb. 9) and announcement of unilateral sanction (March 8). Seoul government also strongly urged the international community to strangle North Korea's 'financial resources.' The U.S., Japan, China, and other countries have issued unilateral sanctions to complement the UNSC measure. South Korea and the U.S. conducted their annual joint military drill (Resolve-Foal Eagle) in the largest-ever scale. North Korea, however, responded with demonstration of its nuclear capabilities and announcement of de facto 'nuclear-first' politics. North Korea test-fired a variety of delivery vehicles, threatened nuclear strikes against South Korea and the U.S., and declared itself as an 'invincible nuclear power armed with hydrogen bombs' at the 7th Workers 'Party Congress held in May, 2016. Considering the circumstantial evidences, the North's 4th nuclear test may have been a successful boosted fission bomb test. North Korea, and, if allowed to go on with its nuclear programs, will become a nuclear power armed with more than 50 nuclear weapons including hydrogen bombs. The North is already conducting nuclear blackmail strategy towards South Korea, and must be developing 'nuclear use' strategies. Accordingly, the most pressing challenge for the international community is to bring the North to 'real dialogue for denuclearization through powerful and consistent sanctions. Of course, China's cooperation is the key to success. In this situation, South Korea has urgent challenges on diplomacy and security fronts. A diplomatic challenge is how to lead China, which had shown dual attitudes between 'pressure and connivance' towards the North's nuclear matters pursuant to its military relations with the U.S, to participate in the sanctions consistently. A military one is how to offset the 'nuclear shadow effects' engendered by the North's nuclear blackmail and prevent its purposeful and non-purposeful use of nuclear weapons. Though South Korea's Ministry of Defense is currently spending a large portion of defense finance on preemption (kill-chain) and missile defense, they pose 'high cost and low efficiency' problems. For a 'low cost and high efficiency' of deterrence, South Korea needs to switch to a 'retaliation-centered' deterrence strategy. Though South Korea's response to the North's nuclear threat can theoretically be boiled down into dialogue, sanction and deterrence, now is the time to concentrate on strong sanction and determined deterrence since they are an inevitable mandatory course to destroy the North' nuclear-first delusion and bring it to a 'real denuclearization dialogue.'

This paper analyzes the contents and the effects of the UNSC 2270, and its implications to South Korea's defense strategy and navy. The UN Security Council passed strong sanctions against North Korea which punish North Korea's 4^th nuclear test. The sanctions compared to the previous ones require international society to take practical actions such as comprehensive trade bans as well as diplomatic isolation which will put significant pains on North Korea. Especially, these measures would greatly hamper economic development policy of Kim Joung-un regime. Because Kim Jung-un regime has inherent legitimacy problems which stems from the third family succession of the power, economic difficulties may play an important cause on the regime instability in the long term. In fact, the United States sees this possibility as an option to coerce North Korea in which North Korea choose denuclearization for its regime survival. Nevertheless, the prospects of the UN sanctions are not so optimistic. Considering North Korea's willingness for nuclear development and its level of nuclear technology, North Korea will try to play a gambit with the US and South Korea by exploiting its strategic advantages. North Korea's response will have three following strategies. First, it would actively pursue political and economic survival strategy by using China's support for the regime, strengthening its power grip in the name of countering US hostile policy, and enhancing peace propaganda. Second, North Korea will accelerate efforts to position its status as a nuclear de facto state. For this purpose, it could create nuclear crisis on the peninsula. Third, it would exploit local provocations as an exit strategy to get over the current situation. In order to counter North Korea's actions and punish North Korea's behavior strongly, South Korea needs following strategies and efforts. It should first make all the efforts to implement the UN sanctions. Strong and practical nuclear deterrence strategy and capability with the U.S. should be developed. Effective strategy and capabilities for the prevention and deterrence of North Korea's provocation should be prepared. For this purpose, North Korea's provocation strategy should be thoroughly reviewed. Active international cooperation is needed to punish and coerce North Korea's behavior. Finally, South Korea should prepare for the possible occurrence of North Korea's contingency and make use of the situation as an opportunity to achieve unification. All these strategies and efforts demand the more active roles and missions of South Korea's navy and thus, nullify North Korea's intention militarily.

Nuclear power is a way of attaining an enormous amount of energy with relatively small amount of resources and after it has been introduced to the submarine since 1954, there are approximately 150 of nuclear powered submarine currently on a mission around the world. This is due to the maneuverability, mountability and covertness of nuclear submarines. However, there are other tasks, not only the high level of nuclear technology that are needed to be dealt with in order to construct nuclear powered submarine. The biggest task of all is to secure the enriched uranium. Accordingly, this research is about the way of enriching and securing the nuclear fuel that are used in the nuclear submarine with the characteristics, merits and demerits of the nuclear submarine. Due to the fact that the pressurized water reactor in South Korea is the reactor that was originally built for the development of nuclear powered submarine, many parts is designed to be suitable for the submarine propulsion. However, in order to apply this to submarine it is needed to consider additional requests such as the position of reactor, accident-coping system, radioactive covering, reactor output adjustment and ship's pitch and roll in order to apply this to submarine. Nuclear submarines have much higher speed based on the powerful propulsion in comparison with diesel-electric submarine and also have bigger loading area. Besides, there is no need to snorkel and they also have advantages in covertness with the multi-noise proof system. The nuclear technology in South Korea has seen the dramatic development since 1962 and in 1998 reached to the level that we have succeeded in the localization of nuclear plant and exported the world-class one-piece small-sized reactor (SMART) to UAE. To operate these reactors, we import the whole quantity of low-enriched uranium and having our own uranium enrich facility is not probable because of the budget and international regulations. With the ROK/US nuclear agreement revised on 2015 November, the enrichment of uranium that are available without special permission has changed up to 20%. According to the assumption that we use the 20% enrichment of Uranium on U.S. virginia class submarine, it is necessary to change the fuel after 11 years and it will cause additional cost of 1 billion dollars. But the replace period by the uranium's enrichment rate is not fixed so that it is possible to change according to the design of reactor. Therefore, I would like to make a suggestion on two types of design concepts of nuclear submarine that can be operated for 30 years without nuclear fuel change by using the 20% enriched uranium from ONNp.First of all, it is possible by increasing the size of reactor by 3 times and it results in the 1,000t increase of the weight. And secondly, it is by designing the one piece reactor to insert devices such as steam turbine, condenser into the inside of nuclear core like the Rubis class submarines of France.

아산화질소($N_2O$, Nitrous Oxide)는 이산화탄소($CO_2$, Carbon Oxide), 메탄($CH_4$, Metane)이어 세 번째로 지구온난화에 기여하는 물질로 알려져 있다. $N_2O$의 지구온난화 계수는 대기 중에서 안정하고, 성층권에서 광분해 된 후 이차적인 오염의 원인이 되기 때문에 $CO_2$의 310배에 이른다. $N_2O$의 생성에 대한 조사는 보일러와 같은 연속적인 연소를 갖는 동력원에 대하여 몇몇의 연구자들에 의한 보고가 있었다. 하지만, 디젤엔진에 있어서 연료의 성분이 $N_2O$ 배출에 미치는 영향에 대한 조사는 실시되어지지 않은 상태이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 디젤엔진에서 연료 중에 질소와 황 농도에 의해 변화되는 $N_2O$ 배출율에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험에 사용한 엔진은 12kW/2400rpm의 4행정 직접분사식 디젤엔진이고, 실험엔진의 운전조건은 75% 부하에서 이루어졌다. 연료 중의 질소와 황 농도는 Pyridine, Indole, Quinoline, Pyrrol, Propionitrile, Di-tert-butyl-disulfide의 6 종류 첨가제를 사용하여 증가시켰다. 결과에 의하면, 질소성분 0.3% 이하를 갖는 디젤연료는 첨가제의 종류와 농도와 관계없이 $N_2O$ 배출률에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 하지만, 연료 중 황 첨가제의 증가는 배기가스 중의 $N_2O$ 농도를 증가시켰다.

디젤엔진은 내연기관 중에 제동 열효율이 가장 높은 엔진이기 때문에 큰 동력을 필요로 하는 대형트럭과 같은 중 대형 운송 차량 및 선박 등의 수송분야 및 발전시스템 등의 다양한 분야에서 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만, 디젤엔진은 연소과정에서 질소산화물(이하 NOx) 발생량이 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선박용 디젤엔진의 NOx를 저감하기 위해서 습식 배기가스 처리 기술인 무격막식 해수 전기분해 방식을 이용하여 NOx 저감을 시도하였다. 실제 해수를 사용하여 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 유해가스에 전기 분해된 해수인 전해수를 분사하여 보았다. 전해수의 pH 농도 및 유효염소농도, 온도에 따른 NO 산화율 및 NOx 감소량을 조사하였다. 본 실험을 통해서 전해수의 pH가 약산성 영역일 경우가 중성일 경우보다 산화탑에서의 NO 산화율이 상승하였고, 유효염소농도가 높을수록 NO 산화율이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 전해수 온도는 NO 산화율에 영향이 없음을 추가적으로 확인할 수 있었으며 디젤엔진에서 생성된 배기배출물에 전해수를 분사함으로써 NOx가 저감됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 조선소에서 고출력 디젤엔진의 요구에 의해서 초대형 저속 2행정 디젤엔진이 개발되었으며, 연속최대출력이 $8{\sim}14$실린더를 갖는 10만 마력 이상의 엔진을 사용할 수 있게 되었다. 이러한 엔진들은 열효율, 운전에 대한 신뢰성, 강인성 및 기동성은 뛰어나지만 크랭크축을 포함한 추진축계에서 높은 비틀림진동을 유발한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 엔진설계자의 입장에서 비틀림진동을 줄이기 위하여 튜닝 비틀림진동 댐퍼를 갖는 추진축계의 비틀림진동을 이론적으로 검토하였으며 실험모델인 12K98MC엔진과 12RT-flex엔진에서 튜닝댐퍼의 성능과 동적거동을 확인하고 있다.

본 논문은 해사위성 통신을 이용한 기상 예보 데이터를 수신하여 운항 선박의 최적 항로 안전 평가 시스템 개발에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 예로부터 선장은 경험적으로 기상, 선박 제원 상태 및 운항 일정을 고려하여 최적의 항로를 선택하여 항해하여 왔다. 이는 선장의 경험을 바탕으로 해류나 파랑에 대한 기상 예보 정보를 활용하여 최적항로를 결정하는 것으로 아직까지 선상에서 항로 결정을 보조해주는 디지털화한 시스템은 그 사례를 찾아보기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 선박의 운항 효율성과 안전성 관점에서 구성되어져 있는 선상 최적 항로 안전 평가 시스템을 소개한다. 선사와 선장이 요구하는 효율적인 항해를 위해서는 도착예정시간 및 연료소모량을 최소로 하는 최적 항로를 구한다. 이는 선박의 파랑 중 부가저항에 기초를 둔 신속 저하 및 마력 증가를 고려하여 계산한다. 안전성 관점에서는 3D 판넬법에 기초를 둔 선박의 내항 계산을 본 시스템에서 구현하여 내항 평가를 수행하며, 기본적으로 기상 예보는 시스템을 구동하기 위해 우선적으로 확보되어져야만 한다.
