A risk assessment is performed at the initial design stage of LNG-fuelled ships subject to new fuel supply systems due to marine environmental and emissions regulations. Risk assessment involves a series of logical steps that enable systematic risk analysis and evaluation. LNG-fuelled ships mainly consist of a tank for storing LNG, a gas supply unit for supplying LNG to the engine, an engine using LNG as fuel, and a bunkering manifold for receiving LNG. The components of the LNG fuelled ship are determined according to the characteristics, size, rout, and operating distance. Therefore, the risk factors of each ships are different, and the risk analysis also changes. In this study we consider the systems of ships using LNG as a fuel and analyze the risk assessment of certain cases where the actual risk assessment has been carried out.

This paper is for the combustion characteristics of gas generator which drive 1.5MW-class turbo pump and runs in fuel-rich combustion regime with LOx/kerosene as propellant. The outline of development procedure of real scale high pressure gas generator is introduced and the relation between O/F ratio and outlet temperature and the molecular weight and specific heat ratio of combustion gas are described. The relation between O/F ratio and temperature is newly obtained at higher pressure and the molecular weight and specific heat ratio is modified and their validity is confirmed by the mass relation equation.

To develop liquid propulsion engine, the development of combustion chamber must be preceded. For performance validation of the combustion chamber, the designed and manufactured combustion chamber should be tested in combustion chamber test facility (CCTF). The CCTF is the test facility to develop the combustor of rocket engine, which uses liquid oxygen as a oxidizer and kerosene as a fuel. Present paper introduces the detailed design results of compressed gas supply system of CCTF, which is planned to be installed at Naro Space Center.

DME, a clean fuel that is being studied as an alternative fuel for diesel engines, can reduce exhaust gas, which is the one of the crucial problems of diesel engines, and has a very high cetane number and high oxygen content. DME is a fuel has properties similar with LPG and can use the infrastructure of LPG. In this study, The target was to build a database of basic data on the mass flow rate discharged for the performance evaluation of the plunger-type high pressure pump. In this study, the mass flow rate of the DME plunger type high pressure pump was analyzed by changing the common rail pressure and the motor rotation speed. The experimental conditions were the common rail pressure was changed from 300 to 500 bar and the motor rotation speed was changed from 300 to 1000 rpm. In addition, basic mass flow data were constructed to high-pressure pumps for DME. As a result of the experiment, in both cases the mass flow rate was increased.

경유엔진은 가솔린엔진에 비해 연소특성상 연료소비효율이 우수하여 온실가스인 $CO_2$ 배출이 적은 반면 대기 및 인체위해성이 높은 NOx와 입자상물질(PM)의 배출이 많아 대기저감을 위한 연료의 고압분사, 전자제어식 EGR기술등 엔진개량기술과 매연여과장치, De-NOx등 후처리기술 그리고 대체연료사용 기술등 다양한 저감대책이 전세계적으로 강구되고 있다. 특히 경유엔진에서 배출되는 오염물질로 인한 대기오염영향은 점차 증가하고 있어 대체연료사용 및 배출허용기준강화둥 우리 실정에 적합한 효율적인 대기저감대책이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

A liquid rocket engine fuel-rich gas generator has been developed for the first time in the country, which can produce combustion gas over the rate of 4 kg/s at 900 K and 58 bar. The gas is not only for driving a turbopump but also for providing heat source for propellant supply tanks. The final design of the gas generator had been fixed based on the concept and preliminary development tests, and was validated through structure and heat transfer analysis. The manufacturing involved precision machining, surface finish, and special welding technique. The final assessment on the characteristics of ignition and combustion had been carried out for two different versions of injector heads. This concluded that the present product satisfies the development requirements such as spatial temperature distribution and the development has been successful.

The global restriction on pollutant emissions and the soaring of crude oil price are expected to result in the change of future transportation system. Hydrogen is considered to be the leading candidate as an alternative energy source before other new alternative energy sources emerge. Scientists anticipate that hydrogen fuel gas turbine engine and fuel cell will be the power plant of the aircraft in the near future. To realize the aircraft powered by fuel cell system in the future, the technologies such as fuel cell with higher energy density, compressed gas or liquid storage system of hydrogen fuel, and efficient and lightweight electric motor have to be developed first.

배기가스의 규제가 전 세계적으로 강화되고 있는 가운데, 경유사용 디젤기관은 가솔린기관 보다 열효율이 높고 온실가스인 $CO_2$ 배출량이 적은 장점이 있으나, PM(입자상 물질)과 NO$_{x}$가 다량 배출되는 단점이 있다. 이들의 저감책으로서, 엔진개량, 연료분사장치의 고압화와 전자제어화, 배기 후처리기술의 적용 등 디젤기관의 고효율성을 손상시키지 않으면서, 배기공해를 대폭 저감하려는 연구가 활발히 추진되고 있으며, 한편으로는 디젤기관의 대체연료에 대한 연구가 활발히 추진되고 있다.(중략)

Exhaust regulations of automobile are being reinforced increasingly as environmental problems issues came to the fore by industrial development. However, it is known that the exhaust emission is not only influenced by the system of automobile but also the fuel properties. In particular, high-performance engines have required high-performance fuels with high lubricity as CRDI engines(diesel engine) have been developed and commercialized. This paper have examined that the fuel property variations affect a major parts and an exhaust gas of automobile. It was confirmed that the high pressure pump, the injector and the DPF(diesel particulate filter) were damaged and fuel efficiency was get worse due to use the fuel of lacking lubricity property($651{\mu}m$/quality standard: less in $400{\mu}m$). In addition, through an iron component was detected in the broken DPF, it was estimated that the breakage of the DPF was caused by the excessive exhaust of the particulate matter due to the iron component of the fuel.
