수소는 미래의 청정에너지원이다. 수소를 생산하는 효과적인 방법으로는 탄소계촉매를 이용하여 부탄을 분해하는 것이다. 촉매는 카본블랙이 사용되었으며, $500{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 열분해 반응과 촉매분해반응이 수행되었다. 열분해의 경우 온도가 증가함에 따라 전화율이 증가하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 98.9%로 부탄이 거의 분해되었으며, $900^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 전화율이 100%까지 도달하였다. 부탄 분해반응에서 기대되는 생성물은 메탄, 에틸렌, 에탄, 프로필렌, 프로판 등이다. $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 부탄 촉매 분해반응에서 거의 대부분 수소와 메탄만이 관찰되었다. 특히 $500-1100^{\circ}C$까지 온도가 증가하였을 때 수소의 생성율은 꾸준히 증가하는 것으로 확인되었고 촉매분해반응이 촉매를 사용하지 않은 열분해반응보다 온도가 증가함에 따라 수소의 선택도를 더욱 향상시켜 보다 많은 수소가 생성되었으며, 반응성 실험이 진행되는 동안 촉매의 비활성화는 관찰되지 않았다. 반응전후의 촉매의 특성을 분석하기 위해 TEM 및 SEM 분석을 하였다. 반응전의 촉매는 매끈한 모양이었으나 $1000-1100^{\circ}C$에서 반응후에는 표면에 돌기모양을 형성하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

A fluidized bed reactor made of quartz with 0.055 m I.D. and 1.0 m in height was employed for the thermocatalytic decomposition of methane to produce $CO_2$ - free hydrogen . The fluidized bed was proposed for the continuous withdraw of product carbons from the reactor. The methane decomposition rate with the carbon black N330 catalyst was quickly reached a quasi-steady state rate and remained for several hour. The methane and propane mixture decomposition reaction was carried out at the temperature range of 850 - 900 $^{\circ}C$, methane and propane mixture gas velocity of 1.0 $U_{mf}$ ${\sim}$ 3.0 $U_{mf}$ and the operating pressure of 1.0 atm. Effect of operating parameters such as reaction temperature, gas velocity on the reaction rates was investigated. The produced carbon by the methane decomposition was deposited on the surfaces of carbon catalysts and the morphology was observed by TEM image.

Flame lift-off conditions determine the operating conditions of burners. It is known that a flame can be lifted when the Schmidt number (Sc), which is the ratio of the dynamic viscosity to the mass diffusivity, is greater than unity. In this study, the flame lift-off characteristics of non-premixed flames of propane (Sc > 1) and methane (Sc < 1) in a coaxial outer air tube were experimentally compared. The experimental results indicated that stable lifted flames could be obtained even when Sc < 1 in a confined air tube. On the basis of the results of a simple numerical analysis, it was confirmed that a new flame stabilization mechanism exists in the tube. A velocity field is preferentially developed upstream of the flame, and it results in a new stabilization condition. This result can be very useful in explaining the stabilization of the flames of ordinary burners in which a flame is produced in a confined space.

Fuel gases such as methane and propane are used in explosion hazardous area of domestic plants and can form non-uniform mixtures with the influence of process conditions due to leakage. The fire-explosion risk assessment using literature data measured under uniform mixtures, damage prediction can be obtained the different results from actual explosion accidents by gas leaks. An explosion characteristics such as explosion pressure and flame velocity of non-uniform gas mixtures with concentration change similar to that of facility leak were examined. The experiments were conducted in a closed 0.82 m long stainless steel duct with observation recorded by color high speed camera and piezo pressure sensor. Also we proposed the quantification method of non-uniform mixtures from a regression analysis model on the change of concentration difference with time in explosion duct. For the non-uniform condition of this study, the area of flame surface enlarged with increasing the concentration non-uniform in the flame propagation of methane and was similar to the wrinkled flame structure existing in a turbulent flame. The time to peak pressure of methane decreased as the non-uniform increased and the explosion pressure increased with increasing the non-uniform. The ranges of K_G (Deflagration index) of methane with the concentration non-uniform were 1.30 to 1.58 [MPa·m/s] and the increase rate of K_G was 17.7% in methane with changing from uniform to non-uniform.

In order to elucidate the flavor compounds of fermented big eyed herring, Harengula zunasi (BLEEKER), and slimy, Leiognathus nuchalis (TEMMINCK et SCHEGEL), the volatile constituents of products were analysed by GLC. In the volatile compounds of fermented big eyed herring, eight kinds of volatile fatty acids, nine kinds of volatile carbonyls, and five kinds of volatile amines were identified. While in the fermented slimy, seven kinds of volatile fatty acids, six kinds volatile carbonyls, and five kinds of volatile amines were also identified. In the volatile fatty acids and volatile amines, n-butyric acid and trimethylamine were the most dominant component in both fermented products. In the fermented big eyed herring 2-methylpropanal, ethanal, and propanal were abundant holding 36.2%, 28.5%, and 16.2%, while in the fermented slimy ethanal, 2-methylpropanal, and propanal were abundant holding 44.7%, 24.1%, and 14.4% of total volatile carbonyls, respectively. From the experimental results, it was concluded that n-butyric acid, trimethylamine and volatile carbonyls such as 2-methylpropanal, ethanal and propanal played an important role in the flavor of the fermented big eyed herring and slimy.

In this study, computer simulation works using PRO/II with PROVISION V10.2 have been performed for a cascade refrigeration cycle using methane, ethylene and propane as refrigerants. LNG cold heat was also utilized in order to save the compression powers for the ethylene and propane refrigeration cycles. It was concluded that about 77% of compression power can be saved by using LNG cold heat through the exchanging heat with refrigerants. We could also know that the cold heat price contained in 1 ton of LNG is 16,155 won.

Behaviors of lean premixed flame of propane/air and methane/air flame anchored by a pilot flame in a tube were investigated experimentally varying the mean velocity from 10 to 140 cm/s and the equivalence ratio from 0.45 to 0.8. Behaviors of both flames are divided into five regions of stable, flash-back, tail-out, flickering and vibrating. General characteristics of each region and Le number effect are investigated. Two main instabilities, flickering and vibration, are both unstable but the instability mechanism, the frequency and the amplitude of pressure fluctuation are different. In the edge of the vibrating region, pressure fluctuation repeats generation and extinction. Repeated growth and decrease of the amplitude of pressure fluctuation are explained by Rayleigh#s index.

최근 자동차 수요증가 및 산업용 보일러 둥 급증하는 추세이며 이로 인한 대도시 대기오염 문제는 위험수위에 도달해 있다. 이러한 산업용 보일러, 화력발전소등 고정배출원과 자동차에서 발생하는 배기가스에는 인체에 유해한 일산화탄소(CO), 질소산화물(NOx), 황산화물(SOx)등이 다량 함유되어 있다. 유독성 가스중 질소산화물(NOx) 저감방법에는 특히 선택적 촉매환원법(Selective Catalytic Reduction, SCR)이 가장 널리 적용되고 있다.

A liquefied natural gas(LNG) in cryogenic liquid is converted back into gaseous form for distribution to residential and industrial consumers. In this re-gasification process, LNG supplies a plenty of cold thermal energy about $83.7{\times}10^4kJ/kg$. The LNG cold thermal energy is utilized for the re-liquefaction process of cryogenic fluids such as Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Helium, and ice manufacturing process and air-conditioning system in some advanced countries. Therefore, it is also necessary to establish the recovery systems of the LNG cold thermal energy around Incheon, Pyungtaek and Tongyung LNG import terminals in our country. Methane is used as working fluid in this paper, which is the major component of LNG over 85 % by volume, in order to investigate the flow behavior characteristics of LNG with phase change at low heat flux. This paper presents the effects of pipe diameters, pipe inclinations and saturation pressures on the flow boundaries of methane flowing in a cryogenic heat exchanger tube, together with those of nitrogen, propane, R11 and R134a. The outcomes obtained from this theoretical researches are also compared with previous experimental data. It was also found that the effect of pipe inclination on the methane flow boundaries was significant.

$La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CuO_3$ powder with the perovskite structure was prepared as electrode catalyst using citrate method. Porous electrode was made with as-prepared catalyst, carbon as supporter and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as hydrophobic binder. As results of potentiostatic electrolysis with potential of -1.5~-2.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl in 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 M KOH at 5 and $10^{\circ}C$ on the porous electrode, liquid products were methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and 1, 2-butanol regardless reaction temperature, while gas products were methane, ethane and ethylene at $5^{\circ}C$, and methane, ethane and propane at $10^{\circ}C$ respectively. Optimal potentials for $CO_2$ reduction in the view of over all faradic efficiency were high values (-2.0 and -2.2 V) for gas products whereas low potential (-1.5 V) for liquid products regardless of concentration and temperature.
