Recently, reciprocating cryogenic pumps are mainly developed for small-and-mid sized fuel supply systems. Centrifugal type pumps are not actively developed. Most cryogenic submerged pumps are imported. For transportation, cryogenic liquefied natural gas requires the liquid pump technology that can works in extreme evironments. In order to transport liquefied natural gas, it is necessary to apply pump technology. This is the fundamental research for developing the submerged pump technology applicable to the transportation and storage system equipment of cryogenic liquefied system. It tries to secure basic design materials through reverse-engineering in the cryogenic submerged pump development. Regarding materials, STS-304 and STS-431 which are stainless materials widely used in the cryogenic area are applied. Aluminum alloy is applied to impeller and upper manifolder and the pump rotates at the high speed of 6,000rpm.

Steam Reforming H2 Generation (SRH2G) System is a chemical process to produce hydrogen through steam reforming of hydrocarbon. Largely speaking, there are two types of materials for the SRH2G: 1) Oil and coal, and 2)Natural Gas such as shale gas. From the perspective of cost, quality (purity), and environmental burden (pollution), the latter is much more desirable than the former. For this reason, research on SRH2G using natural gas is actively carried out, and implemented and operated in the various industry. In this paper, we develop a natural gas based SRH2G system via systems engineering approach. Specifically, we first derived stakeholder requirements, followed by systems requirements and finally system architecture via a tailored SE process for plant (called Plant Systems Engineering (PSE) process) based on ISO/IEC 15288. The developed method was applied to iron and steel plant as a case study. Through the case study, by the SE approach, we were convinced that a successful system satisfying stakeholders' requirements within the given constraints can be developed, verified and validated.

The early studies indicated that the firm with monopoly power is likely to engage in X-inefficiency such as a managerial slack. The reflection of the X-inefficiency theory has led to the issue that the public sector may be more inefficient than the private sector. In Korea like other many countries the electricity gas water service which can be considered as natural monopoly have been provided mostly by the public sector. In order to provide the empirical evidence to the argument that the public sector may be more inefficient than the private sector this paper estimated the four types of Solow residual which is called the total factor productivity in the electricity gas water service industry with the associated empirical model and compared its productivity with one in the manufacturing industry. The empirical results do not support the argument that the public sector may be more inefficient or less productive than the private sector.

미래의 안정적인 천연가스 수급을 위해서는 사전에 정확한 수요행태를 파악하고 이를 바탕으로 공급 물량을 확보하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문은 향후 국내 천연가스 수요 증가의 핵심인 산업용 도시가스의 수요함수 추정 방법론을 제안하여 보다 정확하게 국내 천연가스 수요 특성을 파악하고 안정적인 공급계획 수립에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 국내 304개 산업체의 횡단면 자료를 활용하여 산업용 도시가스 수요함수를 추정하였고, 도시가스 가격, 산업체 매출 이외에 자본투자, 제조원가 등 산업체의 운영 특수성이 수요에 미치는 영향을 도출하였다. 최종적으로 특이치에 강건하고, 오차항의 동분산 및 정규성을 가정하지 않는 최소절대편차추정법을 선택하여 결과 값을 도출하였다. 추가로 산업용 도시가스의 가격탄력성 값을 활용하여 산업용 도시가스의 경제적 가치를 추정하였다. 분석 결과, 산업체에 도시가스를 확대 공급하는 것이 국가 차원에서 이득이 되는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 정부는 산업용 도시가스 지원 정책을 통해 보급 확대를 추진할 필요가 있다.

Natural gas hydrates are newly emerging as an environment-friendly source of energy to substitute for fossil fuels in the 21stcentury.NGHs are reported to holds much amounts of natural gas (up to 182 standard volumes of gas per volume of hydrate); they are easy to store and safe to carry at about minus 20 degree Celsius under atmospheric pressure because of the self-preservation phenomenon of gas hydrates. The transporting method by gas-ice-hydrate ship carriers has been introduced and developed by a variety of industry and research institutions. Our team has been conducted to develop NGH total systems, including a breakthrough NGH carrier for sea transportation, since 2011. The NGH pellet carrier does not require a separate cooling system for cargo, and the initial temperature is maintained through insulation of the cargo tanks throughout the transport to the final destination. The heat conducted from the exterior and passing through the insulation material of the hull should be cut off as much as possible, but heat inflow inside the cargo tank from an external source is inevitable during transport. In this study, the heat transfer in a cargo tank of a 115K NGH carrier was analyzed through simulation with a commercial CFD code to estimate the boil-off gas/boil-off rate on the developed carrier and understand major hazards that could significantly impact the safety of the vessel.

The process gas piping of the offshore plant can cause a massive explosion if the gas leakage occurs during operation. For the purpose of precaution of gas leakage accident, an air pressure test is performed on the process equipment tests using a test pump as much as the power to the piping inner side, mix 99% nitrogen gas and 1% helium gas. The purpose of the air pressure test is to check the work conformity process by handling and regulation for initial piping process, assembly, installation of module, welding, center alignment of the pipes assembling flange gasket in an unrestrained free state. In this paper, the regulation of the problematic air pressure test was analyzed and the solution criteria were established. And leakage tests of existing equipment were performed applying these solution methods. As a result, it was confirmed that there was no problem.

탄화수소 이슬점은 천연가스 응축형태를 특성화하는 가장 일반적이고 자주 이용되는 물성으로 가스 품질 사양의 중요한 항목이다. 탄화수소 이슬점은 미량의 고탄화수소 성분에도 매우 민감한 것으로 알려져 있어, 특히 천연가스를 공급하는 가스 회사 입장에서는 기존 합의된 가스 사양을 만족하는 것 뿐만 아니라, 발생된 탄화수소 응축물에 의해 운영설비 및 안전에 심각한 문제를 일으킬 수 있으므로 탄화수소 이슬점을 정확하게 구하는 절차를 확립하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 현장조건 하에서 탄화수소 이슬점을 측정하기 위해 냉각 거울 방식의 이슬점 측정기를 설치, 운영하였으며, 측정된 이슬점 온도는 가스분석기에 의해 분석된 조성 및 천연가스 산업계에서 인정된 상태방정식을 이용하여 계산된 이슬점 온도와 비교하였다. 시험 결과 탄화수소 이슬점 측정기는 매우 안정되게 이슬점을 측정하였으며, 이슬점 측정기를 검증하기 위한 시험 가스로는 순수 프로판 가스가 적정하였다. 제조 표준가스 및 실제가스의 측정결과를 가스분석기에 의한 간접 측정 결과와 비교시에도 적정한 범위 내에서 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

Regulation of gastrointestinal hormones have been reported in animal models for constipation undergoing laxative therapy when administered herbal products. We undertook to investigate whether the laxative activity of gallotannin-enriched extracts isolated from Galla Rhois (GEGR) affects the regulation of gastrointestinal hormones, by examining the concentration of four hormones and the activation of their receptors in the loperamide (Lop)-induced constipation model. Stool parameters, including number, weight and water content, were significantly recovered in the Lop+GEGR treated group, relative to the Lop+ vehicle treated group; however, food intake and water consumption were maintained at a constant level. Also, a similar recovery was detected for thickness of mucosa, muscle and flat luminal surface in the Lop+GEGR treated group. Furthermore, concentration of the four gastrointestinal hormones evaluated, namely, cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin (GAS), somatostatin (SS) and motilin (MTL), were lower in the Lop+vehicle treated group than the No treated group, but were remarkably enhanced in the Lop+GEGR treated group. Moreover, the downstream signaling pathway of MTL and SS receptors were recovered after GEGR administration. Results of the present study therefore indicate that the laxative effects of GEGR treatment may be tightly related with the regulation of gastrointestinal hormones in the Lopinduced constipation model.

New technologies and techniques to extract natural gas and gas liquids, as well as petroleum, from shale rock have greatly altered expectations for North America's capacity to produce energy products. As a result of innovations such as hydraulic fracturing, some government, industry, and academic observers have predicted that the United States will soon become energy self-sufficient and possibly become a net exporter of natural gas and petroleum. This paper will cover literature review and measure the potential impacts on economic growth and development. Fracking, renewable energy are just a few of the things that have reshaped the energy picture over the past 20 years, how much it will change in the next 20 years and the impacts on the economy will be discussed.

본 연구에서는 천연가스 액화 플랜트 산업에서의 핵심 기술인 액화공정 개발을 위해 두 가지 2단 압축 방식의 액화 사이클의 성능을 시뮬레이션 하였다. Process1은 케스케이드 액화공정을 기초로 하여 프로판, 에틸렌, 메탄 사이클 모두 인터쿨러가 적용된 것이다. Process 2는 위의 공정에 메탄과 에틸렌 사이클 사이에 액-가스 열교환기를 적용하였고, Process 3은 위의 공정에 에틸렌과 프로판 사이클 사이에 액-가스 열교환기를 추가로 적용하였으며, 인터쿨러를 적용한 케스케이드 공정과 성능을 비교하였다. Process 2의 COP는 Process 1보다 14.0%정도 높게 나타났고, LNG 단위 생산량 당 소비 동력은 11.5% 정도 낮게 나타났다.
