To check feasibility of SMART(Steam Methane Advanced Reforming Technology) system, conceptual design and sensitivity analysis of operating variables have been performed based on the design program of two-interconnected fluidized beds. Among three configurations of two-interconnected fluidized beds systems, the bubbling-bubbling system was selected as the best configuration. Process design results indicate that the SMART system is compact and feasible. Based on the selected operating conditions, the effects of variables such as process capacity, pressure, and weight percent of $CO_2$ absorbable component have been investigated as well.

Fuel processing is an enabling technology for faster commercialization under lack of hydrogen infrastructures. It has been reported that the development of novel catalysts that are active and selective for hydrocarbon reforming reactions. It has been realized, however, that with pellet or conventional honeycomb catalysts, the reforming process is mass transport limited. This paper reports the development of catalyst structures with microchannels that are able to reduce the diffusion resistance and thereby achieve the same production rate within a smaller reactor bed. These microchannel reforming catalysts were prepared and tested with natural gas and gasoline-type fuels in a microreactor (1-cm dia.) at space velocities of up to 250,000 per hour. These catalysts have also been used in engineering-scale reactors (10 kWe, 7-cm dia.) with similar product qualities. Compared to pellet catalysts. the microchannel catalysts enable a nearly 5-fold reduction in catalyst weight and volume.

The powder utilization is the one of the best recycling methods for the waste tires. However, economic problem still exist. In order to overcome an economic problem the ground rubber particles are surface modified, which induced to the rubber particles that have good mechanical properties and higher compatibility. In this study, we investigated ultrasonic treatment and reduced rubber particle size. Results showed that sulfur cross-linkage network of the waste rubber is changed by the ultrasonic treatment.

It is hard to expect excellent electrical, mechanical and chemical properties from most of the composite materials presently used as insulators due to insufficient wettability property caused by the difference of interfacial properties between the matrix material and the reinforcer. Therefore, various interfacial coupling agents have been developed to improve the interfacial properties of composite materials. But if the wettable coupling agents are used outdoor for a long time, change in quality takes place in the coupling agents themselves, bringing about deterioration of the properties of the composite materials. In this study, glass surface was treated by plasma to examine the effect of dry interface treatment without coupling agent. It was identified that the optimum parameters for the best wettability of the samples at the time of generation of plasma were oxygen atmosphere, 0.1 torr of system pressure, 100 W of discharge power, and 3 minutes of discharge time. Also, the surface resistance rate and dielectric property were improved.

오류역전파 신경망을 인산형 연료전지의 조업변수인 산소 및 수소 유량, 작동온도에 대하여 학습시켜 연료전지 모델을 구성하였다. 또한 구성된 모델을 이용하여 다양한 조업조건에서의 단위전지 성능을 예측하여 이를 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 학습된 신경망을 ASPEN PLUS의 단위공정으로 도입하여 50kW 출력의 연료전지 공정을 구성한 후 조업변수에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다. 3개의 층으로 구성된 오류역전파 신경망은 학습단계상수와 모멘텀이 각각 0.7 및 0.9인 경우 단위전지 성능곡선을 가장 정확히 학습하였으며, 이에 의하여 구성된 신경망 모델은 수소 및 산소의 유량, 온도의 변화에 따른 단위전지 성능곡선의 변화를 정확히 예측하였다. 연료전지 전체공정의 모사에서는 개질기의 경우 $600^{\circ}C$의 상압에서 수증기/탄화수소 비율이 2.6일 때, 연료전지의 경우 작동온도가 190~20$0^{\circ}C$일 때 연료전지의 출력이 최대값을 나타내었으며, 단위전지의 전기화학적 효율은 약 45%, 수소이용률은 약 61%, 발전시스템 전체의 효율은 18%이었다.

고분자전해질 연료전지는 다른 형태의 연료전지에 비하여 전류밀도가 크고 구조가 간단하며 전해질의 누출이나 손실의 염려가 없어 수송용 무공해 차량의 동력원으로서 아주 적합한 시스템이다. 또한 빠른 시동과 응답특성, 우수한 내구성을 가지고 있고 연료로 수소 이외에도 메탄올이나 천연가스를 개질하여 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다 [1, 2]. 고분자전해질 연료전지는 원래 우주선, 군사용 등 특수 목적으로 사용되던 것이 1980년대 말에 이르러 도심지 대기오염을 저감시키기 위한 전기 자동차의 동력원 및 이동용 전원으로 사용될 것이 기대됨에 따라 전세계적으로 다시 연구 개발의 활기를 찾게 되었다.(중략)

This study analyzed the basic characteristics of mortar using CGS modified by pretreatment. As a result of the analysis, it was found that CGS after reforming can be partially replaced with fine aggregates to solve the existing air volume reduction problem when used, and can contribute positively in terms of securing fluidity and improving strength. Therefore, it is considered necessary to verify as a functional material of CGS through concrete durability experiments as a future task.

The fuel processor for the portable fuel cell includes multi-step processes consisting of hydrogen generator, heat generator and several CO clean-up stages. One of requirements of the fuel processor for portable fuel cell system is a rapid start-up time. Especially, the warm-up time for WGS reactor is crucial factors for total start-up time. In this paper, active heating protocol, which is the heating protocol of WGS reactor supplied by the oxidation of CO rich reformate in the initial stage, is used for a rapid start-up. The air stream fed to the inlet of WGS reactor rapidly oxidize the CO rich reformate in the WGS reactor. Therefore, CO concentration in reformate quickly stabilized at the desired concentration without CO surges.

This paper describes an on-going national R&D program for the development of a gas turbine/fuel cell hybrid power generation system and related R&D activities. The final goal of this program is to develop a 200kW-c1ass gas turbine/fuel cell hybrid power generation system and achieve high efficiency over $60\%$ (AC/LHV). In the first phase of the development, a sub-scaled 60kW-class hybrid system based on the 50kW-class microturbine and the 5kW SOFC will be developed for the purpose of concept proof of the hybrid system. Core components such as the microturbine and the SOFC system are being developed and parallel preparation for system integration is being carried out. Before the core components are assembled in the final system. operating characteristics of a hybrid system are investigated from a simulated system where a turbocharger (microturbine simulator) and a modified fuel cell burner test facility (fuel cell simulator) are employed. The 60kW demonstration unit will be built up and operated to provide the valuable information for the preparation of the final full scale 200kW hybrid system.
