Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an emission control technology allowing significant NOx emission reduction from light-and heavy duty diesel engines. The future EGR type, dual loop EGR, combining features of high pressure loop EGR and low pressure loop EGR, was developed and optimized by using a commercial engine simulation program, GT-POWER. Some variables were selected to control dual loop EGR system such as VGT (Variable Geometry Turbocharger)performance, especially turbo speed, flap valve opening diameter at the exhaust tail pipe, and EGR valve opening diameter. Applying the dual loop EGR system in the light-duty diesel engine might cause some problems, such as decrease of engine performance and increase of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). So proper EGR rate (or mass flow) control would be needed because there are trade-offs of two types of the EGR (HPL and LPL) features. In this study, a diesel engine under dual loop EGR system was optimized by using design of experiment (DoE). Some dominant variables were determined which had effects on torque, BSFC, NOx, and EGR rate. As a result, optimization was performed to compensate the torque and BSFC by controlling start of injection (SOI), injection mass and EGR valves, etc.

가솔린엔진에서 흡기계를 통하여 배기가스의 일부를 재연소시키는 EGR시스템은 NOx를 저감하기 위하여 양호한 배기배출특성을 나타내지만, 엔진으로 유입되는 배기가스량이 적절하지 않을 경우 불안정한 연소를 일으켜 엔진의 출력이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 흡기관압력을 바탕으로 다양한 엔진운전조건에 따른 EGR율을 예측하는 방법을 검토하고, 이러한 예측자료를 실험적 방법을 통하여 확인하였다. 그리고 이러한 예측자료를 바탕으로 피드백 EGR제어 알고리즘을 구성한 후, 엔진운전조건에 대한 잔류 가스량을 계산한 데이터와 EGR 피드백 제어실험을 통해 얻어진 데이터를 비교한 결과를 통하여 정성적으로 유사한 결과치를 얻었다. 따라서 적용된 피드백 EGR제어 알고리즘 및 시스템은 실제 전자제어식 EGR기술에 응용될 실현 가능성을 보여주었다.

순산소 연소에서 $SO_2$ 농도는 배가스의 재순환으로 인해 기존의 공기연소에 비해 3배 이상 높게 나타나고, $CO_2$ 농도와 $SO_2$ 농도가 높기 때문에 탈황현상이 기존의 공기 연소와는 다르게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 순산소 연소조건에서 로내탈황 특성을 알아보기 위해 Drop Tube Furnace(DTF)를 이용하여, 반응온도, 유입 $SO_2$ 농도 그리고 Ca/S 비 등의 운전변수에 따른 $SO_2$ 제거효율을 측정하였으며 수분의 영향에 대해서도 알아보았다. 반응온도, 유입 $SO_2$ 농도 그리고 Ca/S 비가 증가함에 따라 $SO_2$ 제거효율은 증가하였고 유입가스 내 수분이 존재할 경우 $SO_2$ 제거효율은 약 4~6% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to investigate at a laboratory scale fluorides removal from an industrial wastewater having excessive F^- concentration through a hybrid process combining neutralization and membrane separation. For the membrane separation operation, both Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) were investigated and confronted. The optimized neutralization step with hydrated lime allowed reaching fluoride removal rates of 99.1± 0.4 %. To simulate continuous process, consecutive batch treatments with full recirculation of membrane process brines were conducted. Despite the relatively high super saturations with respect to CaF₂, no membrane cloaking was observed. The RO polishing treatment allowed decreasing the permeate fluoride concentration to 0.9± 0.3 mg/L with a fluoride rejection rate of 93± 2% at the optimal transmembrane pressure of around 100 psi. When NF membrane was used to treat neutralization filtrate, the permeate fluoride concentration dropped to 1.1± 0.4 mg/L with a fluoride rejection rate of 88± 5% at the optimal pressure of around 80 psi. Thus, with respect to RO, NF allowed roughly 20% decrease of the driving pressure at the expense of only 5% drop of rejection rate. Both NF and RO permeates at optimal operating transmembrane pressures respect environmental regulations for reject streams discharge into the environment.

An experimental study on the flow characteristics under various laminar coflow diffusion flames was conducted with a particular focus on the buoyancy force exerted from gaseous hydrocarbon fuels. Methane ($CH_4$), ethylene ($C_2H_4$), and n-butane ($C_4H_{10}$) were used as the fuels. A coflow burner and the Schlieren imaging technique were used to observe the flow field of each fuel near the nozzle exit as well as the flow characteristics in the flames. The results show that a vortex with a density heavier than air appeared in n-butane near the nozzle exit with a strong negative buoyancy on the fuel steam. As the Reynolds number increased through the control of the fuel velocity of the n-butane flame, the vortices were greater and the vortex tips were moved up from the nozzle exit. In addition, the heated nozzle affected the flow fields of the fuel steam near the nozzle exit.

Effect of dietary essential oils on growth, feed utilization and meat yields of white leg shrimp L. vannamei was investigated. White shrimp fry weighing 0.62 g were kept in one of 12 tanks (75 head/500 L holding tank) in a closed recirculation system. Four experimental diets, a commercial diet (control), phytoncide oil (PO), oregano oil (OO) and fermented garlic liquid (GL) were fed for 16 weeks. The mean water quality values for the whole experimental period were $27.8{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, $7.6{\pm}0.3$, $15.5{\pm}0.3$ g/L and $6.1{\pm}0.3$ mg/L for water temperature, pH, salinity and dissolved oxygen, respectively. At the end of the trial, 10 shrimp per tank were randomly sampled and meat yields (%) were evaluated after peeling the shell and removing the head. After a 16 week feeding trial, final weight of shrimp ranged from 21.9 g to 23.6 g. Feed conversion was not significantly different among groups (p>0.05), which was the lowest (1.95) in the control and highest (2.30) in the PO. Specific growth rate was also not significantly different (p>0.05) and ranged from 3.18% to 3.25%. Average daily gain of 0.2 g was obtained in all treatments. Mortality varied from 35.1% for control to 44.9% for OO. Meat yields maintained constant at 52.1% for control to 53.0% for PO. The study suggested that natural essential oils could not exert any improvement in growth performance, mortality and meat yields of white leg shrimp.

본 연구는 대형 석탄 화력 발전소 탈황설비 내 흡수탑의 성능향상을 위하여 Tray 설치 가능성을 검토하기 위한 연구로 전산 유체역학(CFD) 기법을 이용하여 탈황설비 내 흡수탑의 내부유동을 전산해석 하였다. 흡수탑 내의 Gas와 Slurry의 거동에 대한 사실적 묘사를 위해 Euler-Lagrangian 기법을 이용한 전산해석을 수행하였다. 기존 흡수탑 내에 Tray를 설치함에 따라 탈황설비 내에서 Slurry의 체공시간 증가로 인한 펌프동력 절감과 압력강하 증가로 인한 Fan의 소요동력 증가에 대하여 중점적으로 비교 및 고찰하였다. 그 결과 Tray를 설치함에 따라 흡수탑 내에 Slurry의 체공시간과 배기가스의 압력강하가 증가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 체공시간 증가로 인하여 절약된 동력이 압력강하에 의한 동력 소모량 증가보다 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다.

In the power generation industry, various efforts are needed to cope with tightening regulation on carbon dioxide emission. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a relatively environmentally friendly power generation method using coal. Moreover, pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture is possible in the IGCC system. Therefore, much effort is being made to develop advanced IGCC systems. However, removal of $CO_2$ prior to the gas turbine may affect the system performance and operation because the fuel flow, which is supplied to the gas turbine, is reduced in comparison with normal IGCC plants. This study predicts, through a parametric analysis, system performances of both an IGCC plant using normal syngas and a plant with $CO_2$ capture. Performance characteristics are compared and influence of $CO_2$ capture is discussed. By removing $CO_2$ from the syngas, the heating value of the fuel increases, and thus the required fuel flow to the gas turbine is reduced. The resulting reduction in turbine flow lowers the compressor pressure ratio, which alleviates the compressor surge problem. The performance of the bottoming cycle is not influenced much.

There is a new power generation system such as direct coal fuel cell (DCFC) with a solid oxide electrolyte operated at relatively high temperature. In the system, it is of great importance to feed coal continuously into anodic electrode surface for its better contact, otherwise it would reduce electrochemical conversion of coal. For that purpose, it is required to improve the electrochemical conversion efficiency by using either rigorous mixing condition such as fluidized bed condition or just by recirculating coal particle itself successively into the reaction zone of the system. In this preliminary study, we followed the second approach to investigate how significantly particle recycle would affect the coal conversion efficiency. As a first phase, coal conversion was analyzed and evaluated from the thermochemical reaction of carbon with air under particle recirculating condition. The coal conversion efficiency was obtained from raw data measured by two different techniques. Effects of temperature and fuel properties on the coal conversion are specifically examined from the thermochemical reaction.

막결합형 활성슬러지 공정은 막오염으로 인한 플럭스 감소 때문에 시스템의 경제성과 효율성이 떨어지는 문제점을 지니고 있어 막오염에 대한 체계적인 연구가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한외여과막과 결합된 활성슬러지 시스템을 운영하면서 막오염 유발 인자를 규명하고자 하였다. 활성슬러지 공정의 운전 초기에 급격한 플록 크기 감소와 동시에 급격한 플럭스 감소가 관찰되었다. 초기 플럭스 감소현상은 활성슬러지 플록의 입자 크기 감소로 인한 케이크 저항의 증가가 주요 원인이었다. 이것은 운전시간에 따른 각 여과 저항값을 측정하여 확인하였다. 또한, 플록 해체로 인하여 EPS 양이 운전 전보다 약 150 % 가량 증가한 것을 볼 때 EPS 양의 증가가 케이크 저항 증가의 또 다른 원인이 될 수 있음을 제시하였다.
