The typical operating temperature of an automotive fuel cell is lower than that of an internal combustion engine, which necessitates a refined strategy for thermal management. In particular, the performance of the cooling module has to be higher for a fuel cell system because the temperature difference between the fuel cell and the surrounding is lower than in the case of the internal combustion engine. Even though the cooling system of an automotive fuel cell determines the operating temperature and temperature distribution of the fuel cell, it has attracted little research attention. This study presents the mathematical model of a cooling system for an automotive fuel cell system using Matlab/$Simulink^{(R)}$. In particular, a radiator model is developed for design optimization from the development stage to the operating stage for an automotive fuel cell. The cooling system model comprises a fan, pump, and radiator. The pump and fan model have an empirical relation, and the dynamics of the pump and fan are only explained by motor dynamics. The basic design study was conducted, and the geometric setup of the radiator was investigated. When the control logic was applied, the pump senses the coolant inlet temperature and the fan senses the coolant out temperature. Additionally, the cooling module is integrated with the fuel cell system model so that the performance of the cooling module can be investigated under realistic operating conditions.

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is one of the six major greenhouse gases and is known to produce a greenhouse ef ect by absorbing infrared radiation in the atmosphere. In particular, its global warming potential (GWP) is 310 times higher than that of CO₂, making N₂O a global concern. Accordingly, strong environmental regulations are being proposed. N₂O reduction technology can be classified into concentration recovery, catalytic decomposition, and pyrolysis according to physical methods. This study intends to provide information on temperature conditions and reaction time required to reduce nitrogen oxides with cost. The high-temperature ranges selected for pyrolysis conditions were calculated at intervals of 100 K from 1073 K to 1373 K. Under temperatures of 1073 K and 1173 K, the N₂O reduction rate and nitrogen monoxide concentration were observed to be proportional to the residence time, and for 1273 K, the N₂O reduction rate decreased due to generation of the reverse reaction as the residence time increased. Particularly for 1373 K, the positive and reverse reactions for all residence times reached chemical equilibrium, resulting in a rather reduced reaction progression to N₂O reduction.

The fire detectors used in the engine rooms of ships offer only a slow response to emergencies because smoke or heat must reach detectors installed on ceilings, but the air flow in engine rooms can be very fluid depending on the use of equipment. In order to overcome these disadvantages, much research on video-based fire detection has been conducted in recent years. Video-based fire detection is effective for initial detection of fire because it is not affected by air flow and transmission speed is fast. In this paper, experiments were performed using images of smoke from a smoke generator in an engine room. Data generated using LBP and GLCM operators that extract the textural features of smoke was classified using SVM, which is a machine learning classifier. Even if smoke did not rise to the ceiling, where detectors were installed, smoke detection was confirmed using the image-based technique.

Thermoacoustic oscillation is a significant problem in cylindrical-type combustors such as common internal combustion engines, industrial furnaces, gas turbine, etc. This kind of low frequency oscillation can lead to serious consequences such as destruction of the combustor and production of strong noise. The accurate numerical simulation of thermoacoustic phenomena is a complex and challenging problem, especially when considering the chemical reaction of mixtures. As with other simulations of aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, the direct computation of thermoacoustic phenomena requires that Navier-Stokes equations be solved using accurate numerical differentiation and time-marching schemes, with non-reflecting boundary conditions. The numerical approach used here aims at qualitative analysis and efficient prediction of those problems, not at the development of an accurate scheme. The numerical prediction developed in this work is shown to be reasonably matched with experimental result.

레이져 플래시법은 고온에서 열물성을 측정하는 수단으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 각종재료의 열전도도를 측정하는 방법들이 많으나 열평형 유지, 고온, 측정시간등의 제약으로 열확산도측정이 간편하고 고온까지 가능하므로 이에 대한 측정법이 일반화되어 있다. 레이져 플레시법은 열확산도를 1초이내 측정가능하고 200$0^{\circ}C$까지 장치구현이 가능하므로 가장 많이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 장치의 검증을 위한 열확산도 표준물질이 필요로 하나 현재 열전도도 기준물질을 이용하여 검증하고 있으나 향후 열확산도 기준물질의 개발이 현재 시급하다. 현재까지 그라파이트를 중심으로한 고열전도도 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 현재 국제기관에 의해 인증된 기준물질이 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기준물질로서 가능성을 탐색하고자 이용이 가장 많은 금속을 택하였다. 현재 텅스텐 및 몰리브덴이 고온까지 안정적이므로 두가지 재료를 택하여 실험을 수행하였다. 먼저 상온~1000K온도영역에서 열확산도 측정연구를 수행하였다. 측정된 데이터 값은 TPRC값과 비교하여 10%이내의 오차를 보였으며 고온에서 높은 안정성을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 아울러 계측시스템의 자동화 및 개량화를 통하여 실험과정에서 발생할 수 있는 오차를 줄였다. 열확산도 해석은 대수법(logarithmic법)과 Parker법을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 레이져에너지 및 시료크기에 따른 영향을 고려하여 여러가지 크기의 시편을 가지고 실험하였다.

The experimental study of thermal stress in the solid rocket engine nozzle with two different materials, SCM-440 and STS-630, was evaluated. SCM-440 has lager temperature increasing rate and higher temperature at the nozzle expansion region than STS-630. Thermal barrier efficiency and endurance of Zirconia coating were evaluated after making two more nozzles coated by Zirconica. Both coated materials showed about 70 percent higher thermal barrier efficiency than uncoated nozzles. Therefore, Zirconia coating using plasma spray method was useful in thermal safety at supersonic nozzle.

The modern society has undergone the fast change of the family structure and labor market. Particularly, the compatibility of work and family life became the era's agenda while the labor force participation rate of the women increased. However, the family-friendly organizational culture was not created and the job engagement of the married female workers was decreased. The married female workers complained of suffering due to the work and family conflict. This research was conducted to study a relationship between family-friendly organizational culture and job engagement of married female social workers, and secondly to investigate if family conflict affect the relationship. From the results of the study, it was known that family-friendly organizational culture has effect on the job engagement, and work and family conflict play an intermediary role between the organizational culture and job engagement. Therefore, it can be explained that family-friendly organizational culture enhances the job engagement of married female social workers, and the culture would be a good measure of the compatibility of work and family life. Based on the study, it is suggested that public relation and education need to be preceded for the spread of family-friendly organizational culture by national initiated programs. Secondly, in terms of welfare organization, related regulations and guidelines need to be prepared, and thirdly, in the view of individual respect, members of family should have their own rights to put forth an opinion grandly with firm faith of the compatibility of work and family life.
