수소는 매우 낮은 밀도를 갖기 때문에 화석연료와 동일한 수준의 에너지량을 저장하기 위해서는 기존과 다른 저장방식이 요구된다. 수소의 밀도를 높이는 방법으로는 수소를 액화하여 저장하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 수소의 액화온도는 -252 ℃의 극저온이기 때문에 외부 열 유입에 의해 쉽게 기화된다. 액체수소가 기화되면 탱크 내부의 압력이 증가되는 자가증압 현상을 발생하므로, 탱크 설계 시 이 상승하는 압력을 잘 예측해야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 극저온 액체수소 연료탱크의 액체수소 충전 비율에 따른 내부 압력을 예측하였다. 탱크 내부의 압력 상승을 예측하기 위하여 1차원 열역학적 모델을 적용하였다. 열전달 모델은 열 유입, 액체수소의 기화, 연료 배출에 현상이 고려되었다. 최종적으로 연료탱크 내의 액체수소의 충전 비율에 따라 압력 상승 거동과 최대 상승 압력에 큰 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.

Discarded bio-wastes, such as seeds and rinds, cause environmental problems. Multiple studies have recycled bio-wastes as eco-friendly energy sources to solve these problems. This study uses bio-waste to fabricate a mandarin peel powder based triboelectric nanogenerator (MPP-TENG). The MPP-TENG is based on the contact separation mode. It generates an open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of 156V and 2µA, respectively. In addition, MPP-TENG shows stable operation over continuous 3000s without any deviation in output. Also, the device exhibits maximum power density of 5.3㎼/cm² when connected to a resistance of 100MΩ. In an energy storage capacity test for 1000s, the MPP-TENG stores an energy of 171.6µJ in a 4.7µF capacitor. The MPP-TENG can power 9 blue LEDs and 54 green lettering LEDs. These results confirm that the MPP-TENG can provide a new avenue for eco-friendly energy harvesting device fabrication.

Biocomposite was organized with biodegradable polymer and natural fiber that has potential to be used as replacement for glass fiber reinforced polymer composite with the benefits of low cost, low density, acceptable specific strength, biodegradability, etc. Until now, non-wood fibers have been used as reinforcements of biocomposite which are all plant-based fibers. The present study focused on investigating the fabrication and characterization of biocomposite reinforced with red algae fiber. The bleached red algae fiber(BRAF) showed very similar crystallinity to the cellulose. It has high stability against thermal degradation (maximum thermal decomposition temperature of 359.3$^{\circ}C$) and thermal expansion. Biocomposites reinforced with BRAF have been fabricated by a compression molding method and their mechanical and thermal properties have been studied. The storage modulus and the thermomechanical stability of PBS matrix are markedly improved with reinforcing the BRAF. These results support that the red algae fiber can be used as an excellent reinforcement of biocomposites as "green-composite" or "eco-composite".

Biocomposite was fabricated with biodegradable polymer and natural fiber that has potential to be used as replacement for glass fiber reinforced polymer composite with the benefits of low cost, low density, acceptable specific strength, biodegradability, etc. Until now, mostly natural cellulosic fibers on land have been used as reinforcement for biocomposite. The present study focused on investigating the fabrication and the characterization of biocomposite reinforced with red algae fibers from the sea. The bleached red algae fiber (BRAF) showed very similar crystallinity to the wood cellulose. It has high stability against thermal degradation (maximum thermal decomposition temperature of 359.3$^{\circ}C$) and thermal expansion. Biocomposites reinforced with BRAF have been fabricated by a compression molding method and their mechanical and thermal properties have been studied. The storage modulus and the thermomechanical stability of PBS (polybuthylenesuccinate) matrix are markedly improved by reinforcing with the BRAF. These results indicate that red algae fiber can be used as an excellent reinforcement of biocomposites, which are sometimes called as "green-composites" or "eco-composites".

A hybrid supercapacitor is a promising energy storage device in view of its excellent capacitive performance. Commercial three-dimensional foam nickel (Ni) can be used as an ideal framework due to an interconnected network structure. However, its application as an electrode material for supercapacitors is limited due to its low specific capacity. Herein, we report a successful growth of MnO₂ on the surface of graphene by a one-step hydrothermal method; thus, forming a three-dimensional MnO₂-graphene-Ni hybrid foam. Our results show that the mixed structure of MnO₂ with nanoflowers and nanorods grown on the graphene/Ni foam as a hybrid electrode delivers the maximum specific capacitance of 193 F·g^-1 at a current density 0.1 A·g^-1. More importantly, the hybrid electrode retains 104% of its initial capacitance after 1,000 charge-discharge cycles at 1 A·g^-1; thus, showing the potential application as a stable supercapacitor electrode.

기후변화 및 교토의정서상의 온실가스 의무감축요구에 대응하기 위하여 발전소 및 제철소 등 대규모 발생원에서부터 포집한 $CO_2$를 파이프라인이나 선박 등을 통해 수송하고, 이를 해저 지질구조내 대규모로 수백-수천년 이상 장기간 저장 및 관리하는 $CO_2$ 해양지중저장기술이 국내외적으로 주목 받고 있다. $CO_2$ 해양지중저장 처리 시스템 설계를 수행하는데 있어 전산모사를 통한 공정 설계는 필수적이다. 즉, 수치 모델링을 통하여 $CO_2$ 해양지중저장 처리에 필요한 일련의 공정을 열역학 상태방정식 등을 이용하여 모사하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 $CO_2$ 해양지중저장 처리를 위한 공정 설계에 사용되는 열역학 상태방정식들을 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 상태방정식 계산결과의 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 실험으로부터 구해진 데이터와 비교를 수행하였다. 이상기체 상태방정식과 SRK식은 $29.85^{\circ}C$, 60 bar 이상에서 밀도를 전혀 예측하지 못하였으며, 고온 고압의 초임계 상태에서 100% 내외의 오차를 보였다. BWRS 식은 임계온도 근처인 $29.55^{\circ}C$, 임계압력 근처인 $60{\sim}80\;bar$ 사이의 영역에서 실험값을 전혀 예측하지 못하고 최대 100%의 차이를 보였다. $CO_2$ 해양지중저장 처리의 저장지 조건인 온도 $31.1^{\circ}C$ 이상, 압력 73.9 bar 이상의 초임계 상태에서 PR 식과 PRBM 식은 실험값을 비교적 잘 예측하였다. 따라서 $CO_2$ 해양지중저장처리 공정 중 고온, 고압 영역에서는 상기 상태방정식을 이용한 공정 설계가 유용하다고 판단된다.

펄스형 YAG 레이저 시스템의 효율개선을 위해서는 공진기 및 레이저 전원장치의 최적화가 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 공진기 출력거울의 반사율 최적화 및 기존의 전원보다 훨씬 컴팩하고, 경제적이며 가공목적에 따라 출력을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 새로운 방식의 레이저시스템을 설계 및 제작하였다. 그 결과 50[W]급의 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저 시스템에서는 출력거울의 반사율이 85%일 때 최대 출력을 나타내었다. 그리고 3단 병렬 충ㆍ방전 방식의 전원시스템은 3개의 콘덴서가 순차적으로 충ㆍ방전함으로서 1개의 콘덴가 충ㆍ방전하는 방식보다 더 많은 에너지를 플래쉬램프에 전달할 수 있어 더 높은 출력을 얻을 수가 있었다. 실험을 통해 제시한 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Building on/with expansive soils with no treatment brings complications. Compacted expansive soils specifically fall short in satisfying the minimum requirements for transport embankment infrastructures, requiring the adoption of hauled virgin mineral aggregates or a sustainable alternative. Use of hauled aggregates comes at a high carbon and economical cost. On average, every 9m high embankment built with quarried/hauled soils cost $12600MJ.m^{-2}$ Embodied Energy (EE). A prospect of using mixed cutting-arising expansive soils with industrial/domestic wastes can reduce the carbon cost and ease the pressure on landfills. The widespread use of recycled materials has been extensively limited due to concerns over their long-term performance, generally low shear strength and stiffness. In this contribution, hydromechanical properties of a waste tyre sand-sized rubber (a mixture of polybutadiene, polyisoprene, elastomers, and styrene-butadiene) and expansive silt is studied, allowing the short- and long-term behaviour of optimum compacted composites to be better established. The inclusion of tyre shred substantially decreased the swelling potential/pressure and modestly lowered the compression index. Silt-Tyre powder replacement lowered the bulk density, allowing construction of lighter reinforced earth structures. The shear strength and stiffness decreased on addition of tyre powder, yet the contribution of matric suction to the shear strength remained constant for tyre shred contents up to 20%. Reinforced soils adopted a ductile post-peak plastic behaviour with enhanced failure strain, offering the opportunity to build more flexible subgrades as recommended for expansive soils. Residual water content and tyre shred content are directly correlated; tyre-reinforced silt showed a greater capacity of water storage (than natural silts) and hence a sustainable solution to waterlogging and surficial flooding particularly in urban settings. Crushed fine tyre shred mixed with expansive silts/sands at 15 to 20 wt% appear to offer the maximum reduction in swelling-shrinking properties at minimum cracking, strength loss and enhanced compressibility expenses.

The objectives of the study were to analyze the acoustic characteristics related to the internal quality factors of watermelon(Citrulus Vulgaris Schrad). Among the various internal quality factors, only four factors such as ripeness, inside cavity, yellow belt and blood flesh were considered in this study. Relationships between the internal quality factors, the day after fruit set and the day after harvest were also investigated. Test apparatus was the same as the apparatus described in the previous study(Choi et at., 2000). The selected sample was divided into four groups; 69 samples used for ripeness tests 56 samples for ripeness test along the day after fruit set and for yellow belt detection, 60 samples for ripeness along the day after harvest 44 samples fur blood flesh detection. It was shown that the first peak frequencies shifted to the lower range and the energy ratios of the bandwidths between 0∼550 Hz to the bandwidths between 850∼2500 Hz increased as the day after fruit set elapsed. Since the acoustic responses of the watermelon such as frequency and magnitude began to change from 10 days after harvest, the storage period of watermelon in a normal temperature condition seemed to be approximately 10 days after harvest. The ratios of the first peak amplitude to the maximum peak amplitude fur the sound watermelon showed the higher value than that fur watermelon with cavity inside, and the separation between the sound and cavity inside could be accomplished by the ratio value of 0.25. The energy ratios (0∼550 Hz/850∼2,500 Hz) for the watermelon with cavity inside showed the higher value than 2.3. The frequency characteristics of the yellow belt watermelon appeared mostly in the range of 600∼900 Hz frequencies. The yellow belt watermelon showing the energy spectral density function at this frequency range to be over 70 seemed to be not a marketable commodity, The energy ratios(0∼550 Hz/850∼2,500 Hz) for the blood flesh watermelon showed the higher value than 3.5.
