This experimental study was performed to obtain thermal energy from the combustion of synthetic gas, produced by the pyrolysis of insulating oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in a high temperature and high pressure reactor. The average synthetic gas generated was $59.67Am^3/hr$ via the steady state gasification of insulating oil waste (20 kg/hr) with average concentrations (standard deviation) of $CO_2$, CO, and $H_2$ in the synthetic gas of $38.63{\pm}3.11%$, $35.18{\pm}1.93%$, and $28.42{\pm}1.68%$, respectively. The concentrations of the PCBs in the transformer insulating oil and synthetic gas after its gasification, and the concentrations of the dioxins that could be produced from the incomplete degradation of PCBs were measured. It was revealed that the PCBs in the insulating oil were composed of the series from tetrachlorobiphenyl to octachlorobiphenyl. However, only the #49, #44, #52, and #47/75/48 congeners were detected from the synthetic gas after gasification of the insulating oil and in the flue gas from the combustor. In conclusion, the experimental conditions suggested in this study were very useful for the appropriate treatment of insulating oil containing PCBs. Also, fuel gas containing CO and $H_2$ can be obtained from the pyrolysis of insulating oil containing PCBs.

폐EPS 열분해반응으로부터 원료인 스티렌모노머로 회수하는 열분해반응에서 오일의 생성 및 오일 중에 함유된 스티렌, 에틸벤젠, 알파메틸스티렌의 생성은 반응중에 생성되는 잔류물의 영향을 받으며 원하는 조건에서 반응의 진행이 어려우므로 반응중에 생성되는 잔류물의 영향을 받지않는 새로운 반응기를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 열분해 과정에서 주입되는 원료가 회분식반응기와 달리 반응 중 생성되는 잔류물의 영향을 받지 않고 일전한 온도가 유지되는 원료가 벽을 통해 흐르는 새로운 형태의 wetted-wall형 반응기를 사용하여 반응온도, 생성오일의 배출을 쉽게 하기 위해 주입되는 질소 유량 등의 변수들을 고찰하였다. 또한 반응으로부터 선정된 최적조건에서 반응기 설계를 위한 반응속도론적 연구를 수행하였다.

폴리스티렌의 열분해반응에서 분해반응속도 및 생성되는 오일 중에 함유된 스틸렌모노머와 부산물로 얻어지는 에틸벤젠, 알파메틸스티렌, 다이머, 트라이머 등은 반응온도 및 반응시간 등의 여러 가지 변수들에 의해 영향을 받았으며, 특히 반응시간에 따라 반응성 및 스티렌의 수율은 많은 차이를 보였다. 이 결과는 열분해 반응과정에서 생성되는 유기성 잔류물과 고화탄소의 영향 때문에 기인하였다. 연속열분해시간의 진행과 함께 생성되는 오일의 수율이 저하되었으며 오일에 함유되어 있는 스티렌의 선택도는 감소하였으며 부산물인 알파메틸스티렌, 에틸벤젠, 벤젠, 톨루엔 등의 부산물의 생성은 증가하였다. 본 연구결과로부터 새로운 연속반응을 위한 열분해반응기를 사용하였다.

폐 EPS 열분해반응으로부터 원료인 스티렌모노머를 회수하는 반응과정에서 오일의 생성과 스티렌모노머, 에틸벤젠, 알파메틸스티렌 및 dimer와 같은 오일의 조성은 반응 잔류물에 큰 영향을 받으므로 새로운 반응기의 개발을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 회분식반응기와 달리 주입되는 원료가 벽을 통해 흐르면서 반응하고 생성되는 잔류물은 연속적으로 외부로 배출됨에 따라 생성오일의 조성에 영향을 주지 않도록 고안한 새로운 형태의 wetted-wall 형 반응기를 제안하였다. Wetted-wall 형 반응기를 이용하여 반응온도, 원료주입속도를 비롯하여 반응기 내부의 증발가스를 배출시키기 위해 주입되는 질소 유량 등의 변수들을 고찰하였다. 또한 반응으로부터 선정된 최적조건으로부터 연속운전을 수행하여 스티렌모노머의 수율은 65% 이상의 일정한 수준으로 유지되는 결과를 얻었다.

목재와 같은 고체에서 불이 붙는 화재현상은 고체가 외부로부터 열을 받아 재료가 열분해 과정을 통하여 생성된 가스가 연소되는 현상을 포함한다. 이러한 고체의 열분해 현상은 외부로부터 유입되는 에너지의 양, 고체재료의 열이 확산되는 정도, 고체표면과 인접하여 있는 공기와의 열전달 정도를 포함한 고체재료와 주변과의 열전달 및 고체의 표면방사율 및 주변의 공기 중 산소의 분율 등 매우 여러 인자와 복잡하게 연결되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 화재현상을 가장 간단히 모사하기 위하여 필요한 발화온도를 산출하였다. 콘칼로리미타를 이용하여 다양한 목재시편을 이용하여 목재시편에 유입되는 열유속을 다양하게 제어하여 발화시간을 측정하였으며 이를 이용하여 발화온도를 산출하였다. 이를 위하여 사용자가 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 발화온도 산출 프로그램을 개발하였다. 고려된 목재는 5종류로 저밀도 MDF, 고밀도 MDF, 합판, 방부목, PB 등이며 다양한 두께에 대하여 고려하였다. 본 논문에서 제시된 발화온도는 고체의 화재 전파현상을 해석하는데 활용될 수 있다.

Pakistan depends heavily on imports for its fuel requirements. In this experiment, catalytic pyrolysis of a blend of feedstock's consisting of date seed, wheat straw, and corn cob was conducted in a fixed bed reactor to produce oil that can be used as an alternative fuel. The main focus was to emphasize the outcome of important variables on the produced oil. The effects of operating conditions on the yield of bio-oil were studied by changing temperature (350-500 ℃), heating rate (10, 15, 20 ℃/min), and particle size (1, 2, 3 mm). Moreover, ZnO was used as a catalyst in the process. First, the thermal degradation of the feedstock was investigated by TGA and DTG analysis at 10 ℃/min of different particle sizes of 1, 2, and 3mm from a temperature range of 0 to 1000 ℃. The optimum temperature was found to be 450 ℃ for maximum degradation, and the oil yield was indicated to be around 37%. It was deduced from the experiment that the maximum production of bio-oil was 32.21% at a temperature of 450 ℃, a particle size of 1mm, and a heating rate of 15 ℃/min. When using the catalyst under the same operating conditions, the bio-oil production increased to 41.05%. The heating value of the produced oil was 22 MJ/kg compared to low-quality biodiesel oil, which could be used as a fuel.

The process of thermal-degradation of thin-film polymeris studied in this work for various laser sources from CW to fs. Samples composed of a thin polymer layer sandwiched between two glass plates are irradiated by the lasers and the threshold irradiance of polymer carbonization is experimentally measured. In the numerical analysis, the transient temperature distribution is calculated and the number density of carbonization in the polymer layer is also estimated. It is shown that pulsed lasers can result in more uniform distribution of temperature and carbonization than the CW laser.

The objective of this research is to estimate two dimensional ablating and charring of heat shield materials in severe aero-thermal heat transfer. This estimation requires an accurate and rapid technique for its serious heat transfer with a moving boundary. Aerodynamic heating is obtained by an explicit relation which is a function of Mach number and air condition, while a fully implicit method is used for heat transfer calculations. Moving boundary is captured by FLIAR method which is a subgroup of VOF. Thickness of ablating and charring of heat shield, temperature of the moving surface and rate of radiation heat are calculated and compared with references. The results are in good agreement with other calculations.

The combustion kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was studied by the dynamic model which accounts for the thermal decomposition of polymer at any time. The kinetic analysis was performed by a conventional nonisothermal thermogravimetric (TG) technique at several heating rates between 10 and 40 K/min in air atmosphere. The thermal decomposition of PET in air atmosphere was found to be a complex process composed of at least two stages for which kinetic values can be calculated. The combustion kinetic analysis of PET gave apparent activation energy for the first stage of $257.3{\sim}269.9\;kJ/mol$, with a value of $140.5{\sim}213.8\;kJ/mol$ for the second stage. To verify the effectiveness of the kinetic analysis method used in this work, the kinetic analysis results were compared with those of various analytical methods. The kinetic parameters were also compared with values of the pyrolysis of PET in nitrogen atmosphere.

A development of one-dimensional thermal analysis tool is performed to estimate the thickness of cork insulation for flight vehicle. In the calculation of cork temperature, the cork density model, heat of ablation and pyrolysis gas enthalpy model were applied. The calculation for the two-layer model of cork and metal was performed by the tool and compared with the experimental data. The results for the two aerodynamic heating conditions were 17 % and -12 % different from the experimental data, respectively. The effect of mechanical ablation not included in the calculation can be expected as the cause of the difference. The temperature-density curve of cork which adjusted by experimental data was also presented.
