The external corrosion control of buried pipes can be achieved by a combination of coatings and cathodic protection to maximize effectiveness. One of the factors affecting cathodic protection is the environmental soil conditions. Because soil is a kind of electrolyte, the environmental conditions of soil may be changed by the atmospheric environment. Therefore, in this study, changes in environmental soil factors by atmospheric environmental factors were monitored. In cathodic protection, on-potential and off-potential were measured from December 2021 to July 2022. The effects of external environmental factors and soil environmental factors on cathodic protection were analyzed. Changes in outdoor temperature affected soil temperature, and soil conductivity had a proportional relationship with soil humidity, but outdoor humidity and precipitation did not significantly affect humidity and conductivity of the soil. In contrast, in cathodic protection, the on-potential was affected by temperature, humidity, the conductivity of the soil, and the anode used, but the off-potential was little affected by these factors.

Transient stability analysis of Korea Electric power Corporation(KEPCO) system is conducted by time simulation method, and the method is robust and reliable. But, time simulation consumes enormous computing resources and engineering time, and it does not provide a measure of the degree of stability of the system. Therefore, this method does not apply to every changed condition appropriately and quickly in planning and operating. And Transient Energy Function (TEF) method whis can assess quickly and quantatively the degree of stability of the system and which judges the stability and the instability to analyse transient dynamic charater of the system by mutual changing kinetic energy and potential energy, is developed. TEF method analyses the first Swing transient stability of the system by using the thought that if after disturbance happening, the increase of all the rotator kinetic energy changes into the potential energy after diturbance clearing, the system is stable, otherwise the system is unstable. This paper represents the availabiIity of the TEF method by comparing with time simulation method on the two cases.

에너지분석모형인 LEAP을 활용하여 국내 대학을 대상으로 에너지 사용 및 온실가스 배출 현황과 감축 잠재량을 분석하였다. 대학의 온실가스 감축 잠재량 산정을 위해 먼저 에너지 사용을 용도별로 구분하고, 용도별 저감 방법을 제시하여 LEAP 모형을 통해 2020년까지의 감축 잠재량을 산정하였다. 온실가스 감축 잠재량 예측을 위한 시나리오는 총 4개로, 추가적인 에너지 감축 활동이 없을 때의 에너지 수요량을 예측한 기준 시나리오와 LED로의 조명 교체, 고효율 기기로의 교체를 통한 에너지 저감 시나리오, 두 가지를 모두 시행한 통합 시나리오로 구성하였다. 시나리오에 따른 결과로는 통합 시나리오를 통해 2020년 온실가스 배출량이 $14,916tCO_2eq$로 2010년 대비 43.7% 증가하는 데 그치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, S대학교의 온실가스 배출량은 에너지 사용 저감 노력으로 기준 시나리오 대비 약 23.7%의 온실가스 배출량을 줄일 수 있었다. 또한 전자제품의 효율 향상 연구를 통해 더 많은 에너지 절감 효과를 확인하였다. 이와 함께 대학 구성원들의 의식 변화 및 직접적인 에너지 절약 실천이 이루어진다면 그 효과를 극대화 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 우분뇨와 폐잔디를 이용한 혐기소화 잠재성을 단독 및 병합 조건에서 평가하였다. 두 종의 유기성 폐자원은 휘발성고형분(VS) 기준 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100의 다섯 가지 혼합비 조건에서 회분식 BMP(biochemical methane potential) 테스트를 통해 바이오가스 생산을 측정하였다. 또한, 서로 다른 3개의 온도조건(25℃, 30℃, 35℃)을 적용하여 총 15개 실험 조건을 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 반응 온도가 높을수록, 폐잔디의 혼합비가 높을수록 더 높은 메탄 수율과 최대 메탄 생산율이 관측되었다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 유효체적 240(농장규모) 또는 2,400(마을 규모) ㎥의 가상의 혐기소화조를 가정하여 서로 다른 조건에 따른 에너지 수지를 비교하였다. 예측된 에너지 생산량은 반응 온도가 높을수록 더 많았으나 소화조 가온 등에 따른 에너지 소모량을 고려한 에너지 순생산량은 30℃, 35℃, 25℃ 순으로 높게 예측되었다. 따라서 에너지 순생산량을 최대화하기 위한 조건 도출을 위해서는 메탄 수율 등의 실험적 측정 외에도 구체적인 소화조의 설계 인자를 고려해야 하는 것으로 평가되었다.

Flow accelerated corrosion(FAC) of the carbon steel piping in pressurized water reactors(PWRs) has been major issue in nuclear industry. Severe accident at Surry Unit 2 in 1986 initiated the worldwide interest in this area. Major parameters influencing FAC are material composition, microstructure, water chemistry, and hydrodynamics. Qualitative behaviors of FAC have been well understood but quantitative data about FAC have not been published for proprietary reason. In order to minimize the FAC in PWRs, the optimal method is to control water chemistry factors. Chemistry factors influencing FAC such as pH, corrosion potential, and hydrazine contents were reviewed in this paper. FAC rate decreased with pH up to 10 because magnetite solubility decreased with pH. Corrosion potential is generally controlled dissolved oxygen (DO) and hydrazine in secondary water. DO increased corrosion potential. FAC rate decreased with DO by stabilizing magnetite at low DO concentration or by formation of hematite at high DO concentration. Even though hydrazine is generally used to remove DO, hydrazine itself thermally decomposed to ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrogen raising pH. Hydrazine could react with iron and increased FAC rate. Effect of hydrazine on FAC is rather complex and should be careful in FAC analysis. FAC could be managed by adequate combination of pH, corrosion potential, and hydrazine.

Recently, the development of a heat pump technology to recover process waste heat and to generate steam of $120^{\circ}C$ or higher required for industrial processes, has attracted attention. The research of conventional heat pump utilizing the available energy is used primarily for air conditioning, and the production temperature is about $60^{\circ}C$, so it is difficult to utilize it for industrial use. Therefore, in this study, we developed a steam heat pump (SGHP) which recovers the waste heat of process and generates steam at $120^{\circ}C$. The low-pressure refrigerant R245fa, considered to be an eco-friendly refrigerant, has been selected as the refrigerant for SGHP in this study since its Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is zero and the Global Warming Potential (GWP) is relatively low. A flash tank functioning as a phase separator was installed in the rear stage of the condenser, and the saturated water of high temperature was decompressed to generate steam. It was started at the initial temperature of $70^{\circ}C$, and it was confirmed that $120^{\circ}C$ steam was produced after the system stabilized. We have conducted experiments by modifying the system, and ultimately achieved a heating capacity of 101.4 kW and a COP of 3.05.

The discrepancies between theoretical values and measured data of PEFC(Proton Exchange Fuel Cell) is carried out for the machine tool power generation. Rudimental approach of theoretical fuel cell open circuit potential using Gibbs free energy is employed for the examination of PEFC module. The stack temperature, stack voltage and stack current are measured during the operation of PEFC module. It is found that stack voltage and current values show the pronounced discrepancy with the results calculated by Gibbs free energy approach. It is analysed that the discrepancy is due to activation polarization, concentration overvoltage and ohmic overvoltage.

This paper presnets the characteristics of electropolymerization and electrochemicla propoerties of polyaniline(PAn). From the morphology study on the PAn surface, it seems that coagulation of the fibrils on the surface proceeds as the PAn grows, resulting in fibril clusters with new branches and more extensive voids. While PAn/Li cell is cycled at potential range between 2.9V and 3.7V in which the first strong reduction peak of 2.75V does not appear, its oxidation reduction capacities were increased up to about tenth cycle. Electricity efficiency of stable charge-discharge to deep discharge in PAn/Li cell was 42.9%. Average charge potential, avergae discharge potential, energy density, and charge-discharge energy efficiency of the PAn/Li cell were 3.4V, 3.25V, 132.9Wh/kg, and 95.6%, respectively.
