Biomass is a renewable and sustainable source of energy used to create electricity or pressurized steam. In biomass-fueled power plants, wood waste or other waste is burned to produce steam that runs a turbine to make electricity, or that provides heat to industries and homes. Biomass power plants, apart from producing energy, help to reduce the $CO_2$ emission. However, the main problem is the high-temperature corrosion due to fuel corrosivity, especially of the straw. This limits both the temperature of the steam and also the effectiveness of the power plant. The corrosion in biomass-fueled plant was described.

막대한 산업용 에너지가 폐열로 버려지는 상황에서 폐열, 특히 저온 폐열의 효과적인 이용은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 $160^{\circ}C$의 고온 열원과 $17^{\circ}C$ 저온 하수열을 사용하여 $50^{\circ}C$의 온수를 $70^{\circ}C$로 승온시키며 성적계수는 1.6을 만족하는 2중 효용 2단 흡수식 히트펌프 사이클을 고안하였다. 제 1 재생기에서 증발한 냉매 증기는 제 1 응축기에서 응축하면서 제 2 재생기에서 다시 냉매를 발생시킨다. 이 냉매는 제 2 응축기를 거쳐 제 2 증발기에 모아진다. 이 냉매의 일부는 제 1 증발기로 이동하여 저온 열원을 받아들이고 제 1 흡수기를 거쳐 제 2 증발기에 공급된다. 제 2 증발기를 나온 냉매는 제 2 흡수기에서 용액에 흡수된다. 이 때 온수의 온도는 제 2 응축기와 제 2 흡수기에서 승온된다. 시행착오를 통하여 승온 $20^{\circ}C$, 성적계수 1.6을 만족시키는 유량과 열교환기의 UA 값을 도출하였다. 성적계수는 고온수의 온도가 증가할수록, 온수의 온도가 감소하고 유량이 증가할수록, 폐온수의 온도와 유량이 증가할수록, 용액 순환량이 감소할수록 증가한다. 반면 온수의 승온온도는 고온수의 온도가 증가할수록, 온수의 온도가 증가하고 유량이 감소할수록, 폐온수의 온도와 유량이 증가할수록, 용액 순환량이 증가할수록 증가한다. 또한, 열교환기의 UA 값이 증가할수록 성적계수 및 온수 승온 온도도 증가한다.

Fuel cells are used to generate electricity with a reformer. In particular, methanol has various advantages among the fuels for reformer. Methanol steam reformer devices can efficiently supply hydrogen to PEM fuel cell. This study investigated the optimal operation conditions of a methanol steam reforming process. For this purpose, aspen HYSYS was used for the optimization of reforming process. The optimal operating condition could be designed by setting independent variables such as temperature, pressure and steam to carbon ratio (SCR). The optimal temperature and steam to carbon ratio were $250-270^{\circ}C$ and 1.3-1.5, respectively. It is advantageous to operate at a pressure of 15-20 barg, considering the performance of the hydrogen purifier. In addition, a heat exchange network was designed to supply heat constantly to reformer through the latent heat of steam.

A high efficiency integrated reforming system for improving the efficiency of the 5 kW PEMFC system used as the back up power of building was studied. The separated reforming system consisted of three parts - A steam reformer with two stage concentric circular shape, a heat exchanger type steam generator and a CO shift reactor. Temperature and steam carbon ratio (SCR) were control variables during operation. The operating conditions were optimized based on the thermal efficiency of the steam reformer as reformate gas composition changes at different temperature. In experiments, water was fully vaporized in the steam generator up to SCR 3.5 and the maximum thermal efficiency was achieved at the operating temperature around $700^{\circ}C$ in the steam reforming reactor. With the results of the separated reforming system research, we improved the shape of high efficiency integrated reformer. The performance evaluation of the integrated reformer was based on optimized operating conditions in SCR 3.5. As a result, the developed integrated reforming system maintained an efficiency of 76% and constant performance over 3,000 hours.

The phenomena of oil whip in steam turbine takes place for the un-balancing force between rotor shaft and bearing oil film. The several parameters that affect onset of oil whip have been well known. However, the major parameter of oil whip is shaft mis-alinement. A oil whip causes the high vibration and the shutdown of rotor system. We mostly stop the steam turbine to adjust a shaft re-alinement concerning oil whip. In this case, It needs many costs for maintenance and long shutdown times. In this study, we study and observe the oil whip of the 300MW steam turbine in many years and we conduct the field test for another steam turbine for reducing vibration from oil whip. The results of this study are that a oil whip takes place with a particular rotating speed or a particular turbine output and the oil temperature change is a very effective method for on-line oil whip treatment.

A steam turnine in thermal/nuclear power plant drives generator and maintains it at rated speed using high temperature and high pressure steam energy. After synchronization in parallel with the power system, generator output increases according as the governor, that is the controller, increases steam flow into turbine. By the way, as the steam flow into turbine can not be reduced fast even though the electrical load is lost, the turbine gets into dangerous situation due to the increase of its speed. At this time, the duty of the turbine governor is to limit the speed to its overspeed trip setpoint by stopping the steam flow as soon as possible, the test of which is called load rejection test. It is introduced in this paper for a simulation test of generator load rejection to be implemented on the turbine governor in a 600MW nuclear power plant before its startup.

Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) attracts much attention because of its high energy efficiency among many water-electrolysis technologies. SOEC operates at temperatures above 700℃, so that the water required for water-electrolysis must be supplied in the form of steam. When the steam to be supplied to the SOEC is generated by the SOEC system itself, an enormous amount of latent heat is required to vaporize the water, so additional energy must be supplied to the SOEC system. On the other hand, if the steam can be supplied from the outside, a small amount of energy is required to raise the temperature of the low temperature steam, so that the SOEC system can be operated without additional energy supply from outside, which enables efficient water-electrolysis. In this study, we figure out the size of heat exchanger for various steam temperature and effectiveness of heat exchanger, and propose the energy efficiency of the system.

A microwave plasma torch at the atmospheric pressure by making use of magnetrons operated at the 2.45 GHz and used in a home microwave oven has been developed. This electrodeless torch can be used to various areas, including industrial, environmental and military applications. Although the microwave plasma torch has many applications, we in the present work focused on the microwave plasma torch operated in pure steam and several applications, which may be used in future and right now. For example, a high-temperature steam microwave plasma torch may have a potential application of the hydrocarbon fuel reforming at one atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the radicals including hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide molecules are abundantly available in the steam torch, dramatically enhancing the reaction speed. Also, the microwave plasma torch can be used as a high-temperature, large-volume plasma burner by injecting hydrocarbon fuels in gas, liquid, and solid into the plasma flame. Finally, we briefly report treatment of soils contaminated with oils, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, etc., which is an underway research in our group.

Zinc titanate 탈황제를 제조하여 연료가스의 고온탈황에 사용된 탈황제의 재생에 대해서 연구하였다. 준비된 탈황제의 Zn/Ti 몰비는 1.5이고 반응기는 내경 1 cm와 3 cm의 석영관 고정층반응기들을 사용하였다. 고온에서 zinc titanate 탈황제의 재생은 발열반응을 수반하여 탈황제의 물성을 저하시킨다. 따라서 zinc titanate 탈황제의 가장 적합한 재생조건을 선정하기 위해서 반응온도, 산소함량, 유량변화, steam 함량 등을 변화시키면서 재생반응을 실험하였다. 탈황-재생의 실험동안 H2S와 SO2의 파과곡선을 구하였다. 또한 반응실험 전후의 탈황제의 물성을 SEM, XRD, Hg-porosimetry 및 BET로 분석하였다. 이런 결과들로부터 zinc titanate 탈황제에 가장 적합한 재생조건은 $650^{\circ}C$, O2 함？ 5%, steam 함량 10% 이상이라는 결론을 얻었다.
