상용 모사기인 ASPEN PLUS를 이용하여 메탄올을 원료로 한 고체 고분자 전해질 연료전지 발전 시스템의 정상상태 전산 모사를 실시하여 최적의 설계를 시도하였다. 연료전지 본체의 모사를 위하여 USER block과 FORTRAN block을 작성하였으며, 다른 공정은 ASPEN PLUS에서 제공되는 모델을 사용하였다. 모사 결과, 실제 경우와 근사한 값을 얻었으며, 이를 근거로 하여 조업조건에 따른 출력의 변화를 살펴봄으로써 효율을 최대로 하는 각 단위공정의 최적 조업조건을 찾아내었다. 이로부터 향후 실용화될 국내의 고체 고분자 전해질 연료전지 발전 시스템에 대한 기본 자료를 제시할 수 있으며, 개발되는 공정은 고온으로 조작되는 개질기의 열을 효율적으로 회수하여 이용함으로써 공정의 에너지 효율을 높이도록 하여야 한다.

Process modeling and simulation is a powerful methodology to quantitatively predict the change of process variables when operating and design conditions are changed. In this study, considering drawbacks of currently used process simulator for combined cycle plants, we developed process modeling system equipped with an ease of use and flexibility for model development. For this purpose, the analysis of combined cycle processes was carried out and consequently, mathematical models and libraries were developed. Furthermore, in view of the fact that the level of the abstraction of process models depends on the purpose of simulation as well as the available data, simple and rigorous models were also developed for some important units. In use of reference combined plant, we executed process simulation using the developed modeling system and the comparison was made between the results of simulation and the reference data. Less than 1% marginal error was identified and we concluded that the modeling system can be applied for commercial combined cycle processes.

In view of the analysis of the phenomena and the prediction of the performance, mathematical modelling and simulation of a high temperature pilot reactor for water gas shift reaction (WGSR) has been carried out. Multiscale simulation incorporated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, which has the capability to deal with the reactor shape, fluid and energy transport with extensive degree of accuracy, and process modeling technique, which, in turn is responsible for reaction kinetics and mass transport. This research employed multiscale simulation and the results were compared with those from process simulation. From multiscale simulation, the maximum conversion of was predicted approximately 0.85 and the maximum temperature at the reactor was calculated 720 K, resulting from the heat of reaction. Dynamic simulation was also performed for the time transient profile of temperature, conversion, etc. Considering the results, it is concluded that multiscale simulation is a safe and accurate technique to predict reactor behaviors, and consequently will be available for the design of commercial size chemical reactors as well as other commercial unit operations.

고분자 복합재료 제조방법의 하나인 수지이동성형의 충전공정을 모사하기 위한 수 치모사 코드를 개발하였다. 수지이동성형의 충정공정문제를 수학적 공식으로 표현하기 위하 여 비등방성 다공질체를 통과하는 유동에 대한 이론을 사용하였다. 과도상태로 진행하는 자 유표면의 동적 충전거동을 묘사하기 위하여 수치격자 생성을 포괄하는 경계적합 좌표계의 계산기법을 적용하였다. 이와 아울러 불규칙적인 구저와 다중으로 연결된 금형면의 충전모 사에 저합한 복합격자의 개념을 도입하였다. 복합격자들 간의 가상의 경계에 대해서는 검사 체적 기법을 이용하여 물질보존을 만족시켜 주었다. 임의의 금형 두께와 투과도를 가지는 다수의 금형면이 결합된 두 개의 입구를 지닌 금형을 대상으로 하여 몇가지 예를 시험해 보 았다. 수치모사의결과 복합격자의 개념을 도입한 수치모사 코드는 수지이동성형의 복잡한 충전공정을 보다 정교하게 모사하는데 응용될수 있음을 보여주었다.

In this study, computer modeling and simulation works were performed to obtain nearly pure toluene product from toluene containing non-aromatic compounds using sulfolane as a solvent through an extractive distillation process. NRTL liquid activity coefficient model was adopted for phase equilibrium calculations and Aspen Plus release 12.1, a commercial process simulator, was used to simulate the extractive distillation process. In this study, it was concluded that the toluene product with a purity of 99.8 percent by weight and a recovery of 99.65 percent was obtained through an extractive distillation process.

This study was undertaken for the production capacity expansion and energy saving through entire process simulation and optimization for the commercial process of manufacturing monoethylene glycol as a staple from ethylene oxide. Aspen $Plus^{TM}$(ver. 2006) was employed in the simulation and optimization work. The multicomponent vapor-liquid equilibria involved in the process were calculated using the NRTL-RK equation. As for the binary interaction parameters required for a total of 91 binary systems, those for 8 systems were self-supplied by the simulator, those for 28 systems were estimated through regression of the VLE data in the literature, and the remainder were estimated with the estimation system built in the simulator. Subsequent to ascertaining the accuracy of the generated parameters through comparison between actual and simulated process data, sensitive variables highly affecting the process were searched and selected using sensitivity analysis tool in the simulator. The optimum operating conditions minimizing the total heat duty of the process were investigated using the optimization tool based on the successive quadratic programming in the simulator.

Aspen plus는 Aspentech사에서 개발한 공정모사용 프로그램으로서 다양한 화학종의 열역학적 자료를 기반으로 공정설계, 공정최적화, 공정모니터링 등 공정개발에 활용되고 있다. 연료개질기는 수증기 개질반응, 수성가스전이반응, 선택적화학반응으로 구성된 소규모 수소생산공정에 해당된다. 따라서 Aspen 전산모사를 통해 다양한 조건에서의 운전결과를 모사하여 개질기에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 운전조건을 최적화 할 수 있다. 연료개질기의 성능에 영향을 미치는 주요인자는 주로 수증기개질 촉매층 출구온도 및 수증기/탄소 비이다. 수증기개질 촉매층의 출구온도를 $660{\sim}740^{\circ}C$로 변화시키면서 개질가스의 조성, 카본 전환율, 개질효율 등을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 수증기/탄소 비를 3~5의 범위에서 변화시키면서 영향을 살펴보았다. 수증기개질 촉매층의 온도가 높을수록 수소생산량이 증가에 따른 효율 증가가 나타났으며 수증기/탄소 비가 증가할 경우에도 개질효율에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 실제 개질기의 운전에서는 소재의 제약에 따라 운전 온도에 제약이 있으며 수증기/탄소비의 증가 역시 개질기의 부피 증가로 이어지는 단점이 있다는 것을 고려해야 한다. 따라서 반응기 재질, 크기, 운전온도와 개질효율과의 상관관계를 파악하여 개질기의 특성을 최적화 하여야 한다.

For the treatment of reactive phenolic resin waste, a simulation model of pervaporative dehydration process has been developed through hollow fiber membrane module. Some of basic parameters were determined directly from dehydration of the waste liquid through a flat sheet membrane to get realistic values. The simulation model was verified by comparing the simulated values with experimental data obtained from hollow fiber membrane module. Hollow fiber membranes with active layer coated on inside fiber were used, and feed flew through inside hollow fiber. Feed flow rate affected membrane performances and reaction by providing a corresponding temperature distribution of feed along with fiber length. Feed temperature is also a crucial factor to determine dehydration and reaction behavior by two competing ways; increasing temperature increases permeation rate as well as water formation rate. Once the permeate pressure is well below the saturated vapor pressure of feed, permeate pressure had a slightly negative effect on permeation performance by slightly reducing driving force. As the pressure approached the vapor pressure of feed, dehydration performances declined considerably due to the activity ratio of feed and permeate.

Most of satellite program process consists of mission analysis, thermal, structure, electronics design, and operation, etc. Each step has several steps like design phase, development phase, and verification phase, etc. As to do this kind of process, very high costs and much time are required, further high risk is included. So for solving those difficulties, satellite developers have designed and used satellite simulator system. In early stage of satellite development, simulator system was just used for a fragment of development and verification, so it could not give enough advantage on satellite development. In order to get high advantage on satellite development, full system level simulators which can be used for several steps for development and verification are evolved. So This paper introduces the trend of simulation systems for satellite development and verification used by several satellite developers.
