In order to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, a policy to increase the production capacity of wind turbine is set up. This can be achieved with increasing the dimensions of offshore wind turbine blades. However, this increase in size implies serious problems of stability and durability. Considering the cost of large turbines and financial consequences of their premature failure, it is imperative to carry out numerical simulations over long periods. Here, an energy-conserving time-stepping scheme is proposed in order to ensure the satisfying computation of long-term response. The proposed scheme is implemented for three-dimensional solid based on Biot strain measures, which is used for modeling flexible blades. The simulations are performed at full spatial scale. For reliable design process, the wind loads should be represented as realistically as possible, including the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) dynamic effects on wind turbine blades. However, full-scale 3D FSI simulations for long-term wind loading remain of prohibitive computation cost. Thus, the model to quantify the wind loads proposed here is a simple, but not too simple to be representative for preliminary design studies.

Fossil fuels have been depleted gradually and new energy resource which can solve this shortage is needed now. Methane hydrate, non-polluting new energy resource, satisfies this requirement and considered the precious resource prevent the global warming. Fortunately, there are abundant resources of methane hydrate distribute in the earth widely, so developing the techniques that can use these gases effectively is fully valuable. the work presented here is to develop the skill which can transport and store methane hydrate. As a first step, the equilibrium point experiment has been carried out by increasing temperatures in the cell at fixed pressures. The influence of gas consumption rates under variable degree of subcooling, stirring and water injection has been investigated formation to find out kinetic characteristics of the hydrate. The results of present investigation show that the enhancements of the hydrate formation in terms of the gas/water ratio are closely related to operational pressure, temperature, degrees of subcooling, stirring rate, and water injection.

Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) makes electric power using hydrogen or reformed from methane and emits high temperature products that contain flammable species like hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane which varies with operation condition. SOFC/gas turbine integrated system which uses thermal and chemical energy of the discharges is more efficient than SOFC itself. Burning character of the SOFC products will affect the efficiency and stability of the system. Experiments were conducted to know the characteristics of the flame for two typical composition of SOFC products, i.e. start-up and steady state composition. When coflowing air temperature was higher than $600^{\circ}C$, auto-ignitin occurred for both fuels. Though start-up fuel has higher contents of hydrogen, it makes longer flame than steady state composition. It was inferred that the amount of oxidizer necessary to burn makes this phenomenon. Steady state composition fuel was unstable since it contains lots of water. Nozzle that had 6 holes, distance between each hole was 16.7 times of hole diameter, improved the stability of the flame.

기존에 사용되고 있는 대부분의 추진물질들은 연소 시 이산화탄소, 염산가스 등의 환경유해 물질을 다량 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위한 테트라진 계열의 저탄소 고질소 화합물인 DAAT의 합성공정을 확립하였다. 또한, 문헌에 빠져있는 구체적인 공정법 및 특성 분석 결과를 서술하였다. 그리고 분광분석(NMR, IR)을 통한 DAAT의 구조분석과 열, 충격, 마찰 안정성을 측정하였고, Gaussian 09와 EXPLO5를 이용하여 생성열과 폭발 특성(폭압, 폭속) 등을 계산하였다.

In modem power reactors, nuclear fuels have recently reached 55,000 MWd/MtU from the initial average burnup of 35,000 MWd/MtU to reduce the fuel cycle cost and waste volume. At such high burnups, a fuel pellet produces fission products proportional to the burnup and creates a typical high burnup structure around the periphery region of the pellet, producing the so called 'rim effect'. This rim region of a highly burnt fuel is known to be ca. $200\;{\mu}m$ in width and is known to affect the fuel integrity. To characterize the local burnup in the rim region, solid sampling in the micro meter region by laser ablation is needed so that the distribution of isotopes can be determined by ICP-MS. For this procedure, special radiation shielding is required for personnel safety. In this study, we installed a radiation shielded laser ablation ICP-MS system, and a performance test of the developed system was conducted to evaluate the safe operation of instruments.

Maritime transportation is going to transfer to alternative fuels as a result of the worldwide demands toward decarbonization and tougher maritime emissions regulations. Methanol is considered as a potential marine fuel, which has the ability to reduce SOx and CO₂ emissions, reduce climate change effects, and achieve the objective of green shipping. This work proposes and combines the innovative combination system of direct methanol solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), gas turbines (GT), and organic Rankine cycles (ORC) for maritime vessels. The system's primary power source is the SOFC, while the GT and PEMFC use the waste heat from the SOFC to generate useful power and improve the system's ability to use waste heat. Each component's thermodynamics model and the combined system's model are established and examined. The multigeneration system's energy and exergy efficiency are 76.2% and 30.3%, respectively. When compared to a SOFC stand-alone system, the energy efficiency of the GT and PEMFC system is increased by 19.2%. The use of PEMFC linked SOFC has significant efficiency when a ship is being started or maneuvered and a quick response from the power and propulsion plant is required.

The thermal integrity of spent nuclear fuels has to be maintained during their long-term dry storage. The detailed temperature distributions of spent fuel assemblies are essential for evaluating the integrity of their dry storage systems. In this study, a subchannel analysis model was developed for a canister of a single fuel assembly using the COBRA-SFS code. The thermal parameters affecting the peak cladding temperature (PCT) of the spent fuel assembly were identified, and sensitivity analyses were performed based on these parameters. The subchannel analysis results indicated the presence of a recirculation flow, based on natural convection, between the fuel assembly and downcomer region. The sensitivity analysis of the thermal parameters indicated that the PCT was affected by the emissivity of the fuel cladding and basket, convective heat transfer coefficient, and thermal conductivity of the fluid. However, the effects of the wall friction factor of the canister, form loss coefficient of the grid spacers, and thermal conductivities of the solid materials, on the PCT were predominantly ignored.

고체산화물연료전지(SOFC)는 청정에너지기술로써 화학에너지를 전기에너지로 직접 전환한다. SOFC는 열병합발전과 결합하여 80%이상의 효율을 올릴 수 있으며 천연가스와 바이오가스 등 연료에 대한 융통성이 폴리머전해질막연료전지(PEMFC)보다 높다. YSZ전해질과 함께 SOFC에 주로 채용되는 공기극 재료는 아직까지 Sr이 첨가된 $LaMnO_3$(LSM)이다. LSM 이외에, 혼합전도성을 가지는 페로브스카이트로서 Sr첨가 $LaCoO_3$(LSCo), $LaFeO_3$(LSF), $LaFe_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_3$(LSCF)는 공기극 임피던스가 LSM에 비해 현저히 낮아 연구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 SOFC전극의 소결온도에서 YSZ과 고체반응을 일으키는 문제점과 열팽창 계수가 YSZ와 격차가 크게 나는 문제점 때문에 전극 제조가 복잡하다. 따라서 전해질과의 화학적 안정성 및 유사한 열팽창계수(TEC)를 가지면서 우수한 전기화학활성을 제공하는 것이 해결해야할 중요한 문제로 남는다.

하수슬러지를 에너지 열원으로 사용하기 위해서는 연료로서 청정해야 하고 따라서 수슬러지 중에 중금속이나 불순물이 없거나 미량이어야 한다. SOCA(Sludge-Oil- Coal-Agglomerates) 연료는 이러한 요구를 만족시키며, 고체 연료로서의 SOCA는 청정에너지를 생산하기 위해 가스화될 수 있다. 습윤 촉매가스화는 수분을 포함하는 SOCA에 대해 적절한 공정인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 SOCA 연료 제조시 석탄이 사용됨에 따라, 촉매가스화 공정에서 촉매를 피독시킬 수 있는 황 성분이 SOCA 연료에 약 40~50% 정도 포함된다. 따라서, 가스화를 위한 적절한 촉매를 사용하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구 결과에서는 칼슘이 SOCA의 가스화에 이상적인 촉매로 선택되었다. 또한 최적의 가스화는 적절한 수분을 공급하였을 때, $850^{\circ}C$에서 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다. 연료에 포함된 질소 성분은 궁극적으로 SOCA의 가스화에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그 결과 가스화는 HCN의 발생을 최소화하고 $N_2$ 및 $NH_3$로의 전환을 향상시키는 방향으로 운전되어야 한다.
