Natural gas hydrate typically contains 85 wt.% water and 15 wt.% natural gas, and commonly belongs to cubic structure I and II. When referred to standard conditions, 1 ㎤ solid hydrate contains up to 200㎥ of natural gas depending on pressure and temperature. Such the large volume of natural gas hydrate can be utilized to store and transport a large quantity of natural gas in a stable condition. In the present investigation, experiments were carried out for the formation of natural gas hydrate governed by pressure, temperature, gas compositions, etc. The results show that the equilibrium pressure of structure II is approximately 65% lower and the solubility is approximately 3 times higher than structure I. It is also found that for the sub-cooling of structure I and II of more than 9 and 11 K respectively, the hydrates are rapidly being formed. It is noted that utilizing nozzles for spraying water in the form of droplets into the natural gas dramatically reduces the hydrate formation time and increases its solubility at the same time.

Natural gas hydrate typically contains 85 wt.% water and 15 wt.% natural gas, and commonly belongs to cubic structure I and II. Also, 1m$^3$ hydrate of natural gas can be decomposed to 200 m$^3$ natural gas at standard condition. If this characteristic of hydrate is reversely utilized, natural gas is fixed into water and produced to hydrate. Therefore the hydrate is great as a means to transport and store natural gas. So, the tests were performed on the formation of natural gas hydrate is governed by the pressure, temperature, gas composition etc. The results show that the equilibrium pressure of structure II is approximately 65% lower and the solubility is about 3 times higher than structure I. Also if the subcoolings of structure I and structure II are more than 9 K and 11 K respectively, the hydrates are rapidly formed.

Natural gas hydrates typically contain 85 wt.% water and 15 wt.% natural gas, and commonly belongs to cubic structure I and II. When referred to standard conditions, 1㎥ solid hydrates contain up to 172N㎥ of methane gas, depending on the pressure and temperature of production. Such large volumes make natural gas hydrates can be used to store and transport natural gas. So, the tests were performed on the formation of natural gas hydrate is governed by the pressure, temperature, gas composition etc. The results show that the formation pressure of structure II is lower about 65% and the solubility is higher about 3 times than that of structure I.

[ $1m^3$ ] solid hydrate contains up to $200m^3$ of natural gas, depending on pressure and temperature. Such large volume of natural gas hydrate can be utilized to store and transport large quantity of natural gas in a stable condition. So, in the present investigation, experiments carried out for the formation of natural gas hydrate governed by pressure, temperature, and gas compositions, etc.. The results show that the equilibrium pressure of structure II natural gas hydrate) is approximately 65% lower and the solubility is approximately three times higher than structure I methane hydrate). Also, the subcooling conditions of the structure I and II must be above 9K and 11K in order to form hydrate rapidly regardless of gas components, but the pressure increase is more advantageous than the temperature decrease in order to increase the gas consumption. And utilizing nozzles for spraying water in the form of droplets into the natural gas dramatically reduces the hydrate formation time and increases its solubility at the same time.

In recently, studies concerned to the diesel engine uses a natural gas as a fuel oil whose infra has been built already was approached to PCCI or HCCI with keeping a high thermal efficiency and reducing NOx and PM have been researching actively in normally single cylinder. An ignition source is required to bum the natural gas by a spark plug in gasoline engines, due to a higher auto-ignition temperature of natural gas. Then gas oil and DME were introduced as the ignition source. In this study as basic data for practical use of natural gas PCCI and HCCI engines, combustion characteristics and emission characteristics on 4-cylinders natural gas PCCI and HCCI engines with gas oil and DME as ignition sources were analyzed and the engine load range that is main object for practical use of PCCI and HCCI engines was made clearly by empirical experiment.

천연가스의 사용량이 날로 증가됨에 따라 고용량의 가스를 운송하기 위해 고압배관의 설치 운영이 불가피하고 이에 따라 고압의 매몰 천연가스배관에서 다양한 원인에 의한 결함 발생 시 대규모 누출로 이어지면 높은 압력의 가스 방출에 따른 대기 중 확산 그리고 점화원에 의한 화재 폭발로 인하여 큰 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 고압의 매몰 천연가스배관에서 결함 발생 시 매몰된 배관에서의 가스 누출 거동 분석과 가스 확산 및 지연점화에 따른 플래시 화재의 피해 거리를 예측하여, 사고 영향을 감소할 수 있도록 대피거리의 산정 등에 의한 비상조치계획을 세워 안전관리 활동에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Gas hydrates are ice-l ike sol id compounds that are composed of water and natural gas. All common gas hydrates belong to the three crystal structures that are composed of five polyhedral cavities formed by hydrogen bonded water molecules and stable in specific high pressure and low temperature conditions. Gas hydrates contain large amounts of organic carbon and widely occur in deep oceans and permafrost regions, and they may therefore represent a potential energy resource in the future. United States and Japan perform the national R&D programs for the commercial production of gas hydrates in 2010's. The study on gas hydrates are also important for exploration and development of natural gas in the regions where gas hydrates are accumulated and could be formed. Although their global abundance is debated, they play an important role in global climate change since methane is a 50 times more effect ive greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Natural gas hydrates also form a possible natural hazard if rapidly dissociated and can cause slides and slumps and in the marine environment associated tsunamis.

최근 기후변화가 가장 큰 이슈로 부각되고 있는 가운데 북극의 해빙이 점차 줄어들고 있다는 점을 강조하고 있다. 이에 따라 세계적으로 화석연료를 줄이려는 정책적 움직임을 보이고 있다. 그런데 기후변화로 인한 북극의 해빙 감소를 천연가스 자원개발 측면에서 보면 예전에 비해 오히려 낮은 단위 비용으로 천연가스를 생산할 수 있는 기회를 만들어주고 있는 것이다. 본 논문은 이러한 양자 모순관계에서 북극의 천연가스에 대한 영유권을 갖고 있는 국가들은 어떠한 정책을 갖고 움직이고 있는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 북극에서 가장 많은 매장량을 갖고 있는 러시아의 북극에서의 천연가스 개발 정책이 향후 세계 천연가스시장에서의 수급에 미칠 영향이 상당할 것으로 분석되는 바, 이에 대한 국가적 대응책이 마련되어져야 할 것이다. 러시아가 2030~2040년대에 매장량이 풍부한 야말 반도에서 생산된 천연가스를 북극항로를 통해 액화천연가스(LNG) 수송선으로 수출하게 되면 세계 천연가스시장의 구조는 새로운 단계로 발전될 것이다. 왜냐하면 이러한 거래 형태는 이전의 천연가스 거래에 있어서 지리적 한계를 뛰어 넘을 뿐만 아니라 이제까지의 파이프라인 가스(PNG) 거래 중심에서 액화천연가스(LNG) 거래 중심으로 무게가 이동하기 때문이다. 한편 우리나라와 같이 북극에 대한 영유권을 갖고 있지 않은 중국이나 일본의 움직임을 살펴보면서 우리에게 주는 타산지석의 교훈을 얻고자 하는 것이다.

산지마다 상이한 성분을 갖는 천연가스의 가스호환성 및 연소특성을 판정하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 비용이 소비되고 그 범위도 넓어 어려움이 있어, 천연가스를 모사하는 등가가스를 대체하여 사용하는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 등가가스는 천연가스와 발열량, 압축계수, 상대밀도, CO 배출농도 및 연소속도에 차이가 거의 없다고 알려져 있지만, 실제 가스기기에 대한 화염형상, NOx 배출농도 및 효율에 대한 연구는 아직 보고되고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 천연가스를 모사하는 등가가스를 대상으로 기존에 보고된 CO 배출농도, 연소속도 및 화염온도 등을 재확인하고, 화염형상, NOx 배출농도 및 효율에 대해서 수치해석 및 실험을 통해 비교 검토함으로써 등가가스의 유효성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 천연가스와 등가가스의 차이는 미세하였으며, 등가가스를 이용하여 천연가스의 연소특성 및 호환성 범위를 검토하는데 문제가 없을 것으로 판단되었다.
