Research on High temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) has actively been conducted all over the world. Since the HT-PEMFC can be operated at a high temperature of $120-180^{\circ}C$ using phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) electrolyte membrane, it has considerable advantages over conventional PEMFC in terms of operating conditions and system efficiency. However, If the thermal distribution is not uniform in the stack unit, degradation due to local reaction and deterioration of lifetime are difficult to prevent. The thin plate separator reduces the volume of the fuel cell stack and improves heat transfer, consequently, enhancing the cooling effect. In this paper, a large area flow field of thin plate separator for HT-PEMFC is designed and sub-stack is fabricated. We have studied stack performance evaluation under various operating conditions and it has been verified that the proposed design can achieve acceptable stack performance at a wide operating range.

This is conceptual study of vitiated air heater(VAH), the necessary ground test facility, for characteristics studies of scramjet combustion and development of scramjet engines. The VAH is one of various types which provided hot air to an intake or a combustion chamber of scramjet and it must use suitable fuel to get hot combustion gas and more similar mixture gas(vitiated air) to real air. In the study, foreign VAHs being capable of providing very high temperature were researched, and injectors for VAH using LNG(CH4) or hydrogen were designed conceptually to develop scramjet vehicle.

This paper describes the heat resistance characteristics of the imaging device installed in behind the engine due to monitoring the engine condition, and this paper includes the introduction and development of the imaging probe. Because the imaging device which is at the rear end of the engine is exposed to a high temperature and high pressure, the stability of the device should be secured by changing the device shape and supplying cooling water. The imaging probe in ADD engine test facility is installed at the rear end of the engine, and it is designed by reflecting the heat resistance characteristics to ensure the stability of the device.

In this research, numerical analysis was carried out on novel and existing fins, adjusted in terms of factors such as length, spacing, and angle, of a high-temperature heat exchanger for a 1 kW class Stirling engine, designed as a prime mover for a domestic cogeneration system. The performance improvement as a result of shape optimization was confirmed with numerical analysis by including the air preheater, which was not considered during optimization. However, a negative heat flux was observed in the cylinder head portion. This phenomenon was clarified by analyzing the exhaust gas and wall surface temperature of the combustion chamber. Furthermore, assuming an ideal cycle, the effects of heat transfer enhancement on the thermodynamic cycle and system performance were predicted.

EPDM 봉인물질을 가진 SOV의 작동실패 사례 및 원인을 분석해보면 많은 SOV 고장(SOV failures)은 결국 EPDM 봉인물질이 원인인 것으로 나타났다. SOV 고장은 SOV가 그것의 설계 범위를 초과하는 주위 온도(ambient temperature)에 노출되어 있었기 때문에 발생되었다. 그러한 SOV 고장은 증기누설, 주위 온도의 부정확한 평가 등의 원인에 의해 발생되었다. 또한 SOV 고장은 연속적인 coil의 여기시 발생하는 가열(heatup from energization)로 인해 수명이 단축되는 영향이 서비스 수명 기간에 적절하게 포함되지 않았기 때문에 발생되었다 많은 발전소 운용자는 이러한 사실을 알고 있지 못하였으며 결과적으로 서비스 수명 기간이 과도 예측되는 결과가 초래되었다 SOV의 또 다른 연성(Soft) 봉인물질로, 열저항 특성이 EPDM에 비해 약 $50^{\circ}C$ 정도 우수한 Viton 봉인물질에 대한 특성이 제시되었다. 더불어 현재 많은 국외 솔레노이드구동밸브 전문 생산업체들이 Viton 재료를 옵션으로 채택하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 고온주변에서 지속적으로 노출되어 있는 환경에서 Viton이 EPDM의 문제점을 어느 정도 해결할 수 있는 지의 여부는 현재 결론 내리기 어려울 것으로 판단되며, 향후 이를 채택한 SOV의 운전경험을 계속 주시할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 segment target을 장착한 unbalanced magnetron sputtering을 활용하여 CrZr-Al-N 박막을 합성하고 박막의 고온안정성과 미세구조를 연구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 박막의 Al 함량을 조절하기 위하여 각 segment target은 Cr,Zr을 일정vol% 유지하며 Al vol%만 변화하여 설계하였다. 박막의 고온안정성을 실험하기 위해 각 시편은 $100{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도에서 1시간씩 annealing 처리를 실시한 후에 경도를 측정하였다. 박막의 미세구조 단면을 위해 FE-SEM을 이용하였으며 이밖에 박막의 조성, 경도 및 결정구조를 측정하기 위해 EDS, microhardness testing system, XRD를 사용하였다. Al 부피비를 변화시킨 Segment target을 활용한 박막합성에서 박막의 Al함량은 각각 1/11에서 4.6at.%, 1/5에서 8.1at.%, 1/3에서 12.9at.% 로 나타났으며, 박막의 경도는 4.6~12.9at.% 사이의 Al 함량을 갖는 박막에 대해 모두 유사한 값을 가졌으며 31GPa로 측정되었다. 박막의 단면 구조 역시 4.6~12.9at.% 사이의 Al 함량을 갖는 박막에 대해 모두 columnar 구조가 관찰되었다.

Hydraulic pumps are widely used in fields such as machinery manufacturing, engineering and construction. Although the research on hydraulic engineering is mature, it is still necessary to examine various performance aspects in detail for specific applications. This paper will focus on the hydraulic pump used in special construction machinery that needs high temperature and high pressure resistance. It will analyze the theoretical design, structure and thermal characteristics of the pump system using the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) method, and will measure the key tolerance parameters of the hydraulic pump to ensure the accuracy of the machining. Through this research, a good design method for the linear reciprocating type of hydraulic pump can be summarized.

This study presents the performance test results and the analyses of the vitiated air heater with high temperature and high pressure. In the performance test, four test conditions and three rake measurement conditions were implemented. In the results of the performance test, the vitiated air heater met targets of temperature and flow rate, and the performance with maximum temperature of 2000 K and maximum combustion pressure of 40 bar was confirmed. Flow rate of provided methane increased 36% more than what was calculated, and 19.6% difference was displayed between measured temperature and theoretically calculated temperature.

This paper is about the numerical analysis on optimized internal flow of LTP furnace and uniformity of temperature. The LTP Furnace is the device that generates heat by electricity. And performs an annealing function for annealing the silicon wafer in the pre-semiconductor manufacturing process. Especially, the maximum temperature inside the chamber is maintained at a high temperature of about $400^{\circ}C$ to strengthen the wafer. When the process is completed at high temperature, the operation is repeated to reduce the temperature through the heat exchanger and carry it out. From this analysis, the ultimate goal is to derive the optimum design of the insulation volume supply/exhaust structure of the chamber through the flow analysis of the LTPS furnace. And to find cases for curriculum development.

In this study, high temperature design and integrity evaluation methodology have been developed for Type 316L stainless steel air-to-sodium heat exchanger which uses 700℃ sodium as coolant. Currently the only design rules that take creep effects into consideration explicitly for the 316L stainless steel subjected to high temperature in the creep range are French RCC-MRx, where elevated temperature designs are possible around 550℃. Absent design coefficients at high temperature were determined based on the material properties newly determined in previous studies, and high-temperature design evaluation methodologies were developed based on 3D finite element analyses on the 700℃ class heat exchanger. In addition, works were conducted on the web-based design evaluation program of HITEP_RCC-MRx including incorporation of material properties and design coefficients up to 700℃. Methodologies on high temperature design evaluations on Type 316L stainless steel high-temperature heat exchanger were suggested.
