알루미나 막이나 바이코 글라스(Vycor glass)같은 다공성 무기재료막은 화학적으로 안정하고 열에 잘 견디므로 고온에서 기체를 분리하는 데에 사용될 수 있다. 미세한 기공을 가지고 있는 알루미나막은 수소를 분리하는데 상대적으로 높은 투과도를 나타내고 고온에 잘 견딘다. 기공이 치밀한 알루미나막에 의하여 분리되는 메카니즘은 기체의 분자량에 의존하는 Knudsen확산이 지배적이 된다. 그러나, 분자량의 차이가 크지 않을때는 Knudsen확산에 의한 분리도는 크지않다. 그래서 분리도의 향상에 대해 많은 사람들이 연구하고 있다. 본연구에서는 Sol-Gel법으로 제조된 막을 개선하여, 높은 압력차에서 조업할 수 있도록 하고자, TEOS와 증류수를 막의 기공내에서 반응시켜 실리카를 기공내에 생성시키고자하는 실험을 수행하였다. 이 연구를 통해 약 25 psi 정도의 압력차하에서도 수소/질소의 분리도가 Knudsen확산의 수준을 보이는 실용적인 막을 생산할 수 있었다.

가열탈기체 처리하면 표면의 물 분자를 빠르게 탈리시켜 단시간에 배기하는 동시에 진공용기 재료 내부의 수소 확산속도를 가속하므로 처리 후 수소 기체방출도 현저하게 낮출 수 있다. 가열탈기체 후의 진공계에서는 물 분자는 일부만 남고 진공용기 재료 내부에서 확산 되어 나온 수소가 잔류가스의 대부분이 된다. 이러한 가열탈기체 처리의 효과에 대해서는 익히 알려져 있으나 정량적으로 예측하기는 쉽지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 가열탈기체 조건이 수소 확산에 미치는 영향에 초점을 맞추어, 진공용기의 재료 및 두께에 따라 목표 진공도에 도달하기 위한 가열탈기체 처리 온도와 시간의 최적 조합을 수치 해석적으로 계산하고 비교하였다.

Critical nozzle has been frequently employed to measure the flow rate of various gases, but hydrogen gas, especially being at high-pressure condition, was not nearly dealt with the critical nozzle due to treatment danger. According to a few experimental data obtained recently, it was reported that the discharge coefficient of hydrogen gas through the critical nozzle exceeds unity in a specific range of Reynolds number. No detailed explanation on such an unreasonable value was made, but it was vaguely inferred as real gas effects. For the purpose of practical use of high-pressure hydrogen gas, systematic research is required to clarify the critical nozzle flow of high-pressure hydrogen gas. In the present study, a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) method has been applied to predict the critical nozzle flow of high-pressure hydrogen gas. Redlich-Kwong equation of state that take account for the forces and volume of molecules of hydrogen gas were incorporated into the axisymmetric, compressible Navier-Stokes equations. A fully implicit finite volume scheme was used to numerically solve the governing equations. The computational results were validated with some experimental data available. The results show that the coefficient of discharge coefficient is mainly influenced by the compressibility factor and the specific heat ratio, which appear more remarkable as the inlet total pressure of hydrogen gas increases.

A continuous wave deuterium fluoride (DF) chemical laser was designed and manufactured, and we have achieved DF laser beam generation with the maximum output power of 101 W. The gain medium is vibration-rotationally excited DF molecules produced by F+D$_2$ cold reaction through supersonic diffusion mixing in an optical cavity. F atoms are produced in a combustor by F$_2$+ H$_2$ reaction and injected into the cavity through a supersonic nozzle. The optimal chemical efficiency was measured to be 5.12% and specific power to be 96.5 J/g.

핵 융합로의 대면재질(Plasma Facing Material; PFM)은 고온의 플라즈마와 고 에너지의 이온들에 지속적으로 노출 된다. 특히 PFM은 흡착되는 기체 등에 의한 부식과 변형이 발생할 수 있다. 현재 핵 융합로 내부의 PFM으로 고려되고 있는 재질 중 하나인 고순도 탄소타일의 경우 고온의 수소동위원소 플라즈마에 직접적으로 노출되므로 이에 의한 탄소타일에 흡착되는 수소 등의 기체에 대한 정량적인 분석방법이 필요하다. 본 연구는 고순도 탄소타일 등과 같은 플라즈마 대면재료에 흡착되어 있는 물질의 정량적 분석이 가능한 TDA (Thermal Desorption Analyzer)의 개념 설계에 관한 것이다. TDA는 고온 가열($800^{\circ}C$ 이상) 및 시료 장착부 및 초고진공(~10-9 torr) 및 측정부의 두 부분으로 구성 하였다. TDA 설계시 고온 가열 및 시료 장착부는 시료 내부에 흡착되어 있는 기체의 효과적 탈착을 위한 가열 및 시료의 모양에 영향을 받지 않는 장착방법, 시료 장착부의 outgassing rate를 최소화 하는 재질 선정 등을 고려하였으며, 초고진공(~10-9 torr) 및 측정부는 초고진공 유지방법, 터보펌프 배기속도 실측을 위한 구조, 진공측정 ion 게이지, 잔류가스분석기(Residual Gas Analyzer)의 최적위치 설정 등을 고려하여 설계하였다. 개념 설계된 TDA에 대하여 발표하고자 한다.

In this study, the structural analysis was performed to optimize the membrane humidifier with hollow fiber membrane for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell system. The main design factors were considered by evaluating the humidifying performance according to various structural parameters such as packing density and length. The effects of operation conditions of membrane humidifier were also elucidated experimentally. Results imply that there are optimum points for the packing density and length of humidifier. It was also found that among operation conditions, relative humidity of wet exhaust gas and temperature of dry inlet gas have major effects on the humidifying performance.

To evaluate the performance and durability of membrane, measurement of hydrogen crossover is needed during PEMFC(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells) operation. In this work, concentration of hydrogen at cathode was analysed by gas chromatograph during operation suppling with air instead of inert gas into the cathode. The hydrogen permeated through membrane reacted with oxygen at cathode and then the concentration of hydrogen was lower than in case inert gas was supplied. Hydrogen concentration decreased as the flow rate of air increased at cathode. Increase of temperature, humidity and pressure of anode gas enhanced the hydrogen concentration at cathode. The hydrogen concentration was about 5.0 ppm at current density of $120mA/cm^2$ during general PEMFC operation.

In this study, the experimental investigation and theoretical analysis were conducted to verify the cooling capacity of the cryocooler used for pre-cooling of hydrogen gas. The effect of the flow rate on a copper pipe attached to the bottom of the cryocooler, which has a coil shape in a hydrogen line, was investigated. Temperature sensors were strategically placed at various positions on the cryocooler to analyze the temperature variations with respect to the flow rate. In this study, the thermal properties of hydrogen for the pressure and temperature were utilized using REFPROP to analyze the cooling capacity of the cryocooler. Based on the experimental results derived from this study, the cooling capacity of the cryocooler for pre-cooling hydrogen gas was considered by calculating the cooling temperature according to the flow rate through theoretical analysis.

This study conducted direct numerical simulations of the natural convection phenomena of gaseous hydrogen in a physical storage container containing four circular cylinders. Rayleigh numbers (Ra) in the range of 10⁴≤Ra≤10⁶ and a Prandtl number (Pr)=0.69 (gaseous hydrogen) were considered. The main parameter is a horizontal distance of four circular cylinders and the values of ε_h=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 are considered. The flow and thermal structures and corresponding heat transfer characteristics are investigated with respect to the transition of the flow regime. The time- and surface-averaged Nusselt number on the cylinder surface and the wall of physical storage container increased by about 57% and 69% according to the Ra and ε_h, respectively. Thus, the horizontal distance has an influence on the heat transfer characteristics on natural convection of gaseous hydrogen.
