The compositions, the gas properties in motor chamber and the aluminum oxide (Al2O3) particle size for two kinds of solid propellants with approximately 20% aluminum powder have been investigated. The SEM photographs of $Al_2O_3$ taken from nozzle entrance liner show that the aluminized PCP propellant with 47% volumetric fraction AP/HNIW and bimodal oxidizer 200-5 ${\mu}m$ can offer greater possibility for increasing aluminum agglomeration than the aluminized HTPB propellant with 64% volumetric fraction AP and trimodal oxidizer 400-200-6 ${\mu}m$. The nozzle entrance liner of solid rocket motor with the PCP propellant shows greater erosion at 4 circumferential sections in line with grain slots due to the impingement of large particles, but that with the HTPB propellant shows uniform erosion with circumferential angle.

In this study, $CO_2$ capture efficiency in relation to the inlet moisture content of the regenerator was investigated using potassium-based sorbents in the continuous process composed of two bubbling fluidized-bed reactors, where solid outlet configuration in the regenerator was converted from underflow to overflow. XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and TGA were performed to find out the effect of water pre-treatment according to inlet moisture content in the regenerator. The $K_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O$ structure of solid sorbents has been increased as inlet moisture content of the regenerator increased. As a result, the $CO_2$ capture efficiency increased as the $K_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O$ structure of solid sorbents increased since the reactivity of the sorbents has been improved by that structure generated by the water pre-treatment. And $CO_2$ capture efficiency increased about 3~8% after sorbent outlet configuration of the regenerator was changed underflow to overflow.

The viscosity and mechanical property of HTPB/AP composite solid propellant are profoundly affected by particle size of AP. In HTPB/AP propellant formulated by two mode of AP size such as $190{\mu}m$ and $7{\mu}m$, the propellant was found to be much less viscose at end of mix when coarse/fine AP ratio is ranged from 70/30 to 60/40 due to high solid packing fraction. It was shown that the toughness of tensile strength test for HTPB/AP propellant increased with the increase in coarse AP. Considering both lower viscosity and better tensile strength, the optimum ratio of AP coarse/fine was estimated to be 70/30.

Aluminum, which is a metal fuel contained in the composite solid propellant, is not ignited and burned on the combustion surface by the oxide film, and it partially melts and coalesces with surrounding aluminum particles. For the evaluation and design of the propellant performance, modeling was performed to predict the size and distribution of agglomerated particles, and the size and distribution of agglomerates were compared and verified through experiment. The predicted values showed the tendency to decrease with pressure as in the experiment, but the error increased as the pressure increased. The agglomerated particle distribution graph showed a difference in the volume fraction although the diameter at the peak was the same.

KSLV-I KM plume including alumina particle has been studied using the continuum solver. Alumina particles are assumed to have 7 different diameters, and the specific ratio of the plume gas is assumed to be 1.2, with which the internal nozzle flow characteristics are similar to those of the chemically equilibrium analysis results. The results showed that the expansion angle of the particles is smaller than that of the gas phase, and that the big sized alumina particles are gathered in the plume core and the expansion angles of the big sized particles are smaller than those of the light particles. When the emissivity of the particles are assumed to be 0.1, the radiative heat flux is equivalent to those measured during the flight test of KSLV-I.

New and renewable energy sources have drawn attention because of climate change. Many studies have been carried out in waste-to-energy field. Fast pyrolysis of waste lignocelluosic biomass is one of the waste-to-energy technologies. Bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor is widely used for fast pyrolysis of the biomass. In BFB pyrolyzer, bubble behavior influences on the chemical reaction. Accordingly, in the present study, hydrodynamic characteristics and fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass occurring in a BFB pyrolyzer are scrutinized. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the fast pyrolysis reactor is carried out by using Eulerian-Granular approach. And two-stage semi-global kinetics is applied for modeling the fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass. To summarize, generation and ascendant motion of bubbles in the bed affect particle behavior. Thus biomass particles are well mixed with hot sand and consequent rapid heat transfer occurs from sand to biomass particles. As a result, primary reaction is observed throughout the bed. And reaction rate of tar formation is the highest. Consequently, tar accounts for 66wt.% of the product gas. However, secondary reaction occurs mostly in the freeboard. Therefore, it is considered that bubble behavior and particle motions hardly influences on the secondary reaction.

Bonded film을 형성시키기 위한 대표적인 고체윤활제들로는 이황화-몰리브데늄, 이황화-텅스텐(WS$_{2}$), 보론-나이트라이드(BN), 흑연(Graphite) 등을 들 수 있으며, 이들 고체윤활제를 표면에 효과적으로 부착시키기 위하여 사용되는 수지류는 페놀 및 에폭시계수지 등이 사용되고 있아. Bonded film의 마찰마모특성은 이와 간이 피막 내에 첨가된 고체윤활제 및 수지의 종류, 고체윤활 입자들의 크기 및 순도,그리고 이들 상호간의 배합비율 등에 의하여 크게 좌우되며, 아울러 피막 내에 소량으로 첨가될 수 있는 여러 가지 보조첨가제들에 의해서도 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 고체윤활제 성분들의 조성과 더불어, 재료표면의 물리화학적인 전처리 조건도 매우 중요한 요인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 윤활피막내 고체윤활제들의 배합, 고체윤활피막의 표면전처리 방법들을 변화하고 이들에 따른 상기 고체윤활피막들의 마찰 및 마모 특성에 관하여 시험을 행하였다.

대기 중에는 가스상 물질뿐만 아니라 액적 또는 고체의 미립자도 존재하고 있다. 이러한 입자상 물질은 다른 크기와 화학적 조성을 가지는 입자들로 혼합되어 있고, 그 성상은 시간에 따라 크게 변동한다. 따라서 대기 중 미세입자에 대한 발생원 추정 및 발생원 정보를 얻기 위해서는 개개의 입자에 대한 물리ㆍ화학적 정보를 얻는 것이 중요하다. 입자상 물질을 이해하기 위해서는 물리적인 특성(size, shape 등)과 화학적인 특성이 중요한 요소이다. 입자상 물질의 형상은 그 발생원에 따라 또는 존재에 따라 매우 다양하고 불규칙적이다.

A development of a composite solid propellant is carried out for an application to gas generators as an energy source of rocket system. With HTPB as a propellant binder which has 80% of particle loading ratio, a favorable rheology, and moderate curing properties at the range of $-50^{\circ}C{\sim}70^{\circ}C$, AN is selected as the first kind of oxidizer having the characteristics of a low flame temperature, minimal particle residual as well as nontoxic products. AP is the second oxidant for ballistic property control. A series of experiments for the improvement of physical properties were conducted and resulted in the propellant formulation having 30% of strain rate at 8 bar of max. stress.

Real-time measurements of fine particles from stack emission gases are necessary due to the needs of continuous environmental monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5. The porous tube dilutor using hot and cold dilutions was developed to measure fine particles without condensable particles from highly humid emission gases and compared to the commercialized ejector-type dilutor. Particle size distributions were measured at the emission gases from a diesel engine and a coal-fired boiler. The porous tube dilutor could successfully measure the accumulation mode particles including relatively large particles more than $3{\mu}m$ without nuclei particles, while the ejector dilutor detected some condensable particles and could not detect large particles. The porous tube dilutor could successfully remove the already condensed water droplet particles generated by a humidifier in a $30m^3$ chamber.
