에너지 소비의 증가와 화석 연료의 감소로 인해 바이오디젤과 같은 재생 가능한 대체 에너지 자원이 관심을 받고 있다. 미세조류를 이용한 바이오디젤은 기존의 농작물과 경쟁하지 않는 것과 더불어 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미세조류 배양의 생산 비용 절감과 축산 폐수 처리라는 두 가지 목표를 충족시키지 위해 돈분 액체 비료를 사용하였다. 옥외 배양 시스템(Small Scale Raceway Pond; SSRP)과 희석된 돈분 액체 비료를 이용하여 단일 미세조류 Chlorella sp. JK2, Scenedesmus sp. JK10 과 혼합 토착 미세조류 CSS를 20일 동안 각각 배양하였다. 미세조류 혼합균주인 CSS의 바이오매스 생산과 지질 생산성은 각각 $1.19{\pm}0.09gL^{-1}$, $12.44{\pm}0.38mgL^{-1}day^{-1}$로 단일 종에 비해 2배 이상 높았다. 돈분 액체 비료의 TN, TP의 제거율 역시 혼합 토착 미세조류 CSS에서 93.6%, 98.5%로 단일 종의 이용에 비해 30%이상 높은 제거 효율을 보여주었다. 이를 통해 돈분 액체 비료는 미세조류 배양에 필요한 N과 P를 제공하며, 미세조류를 이용한 SSRP를 통하여 영양염류를 제거할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 미세조류 배양을 위한 생산 비용의 감소로 경제성 있는 바이오디젤의 생산 가능성을 확인하였다.

Availability of reliable and affordable energy supply is a prerequisite for economic growth. Renewables are the third largest contributor to global electricity production after coal and natural gas and account for a share of 18%. Power generating capacity from renewables has increased to around 900GW by the year 2007. Today biodiesel fuels have been in commercial use in many countries and recently the world-wide biodiesel market has experienced considerable growth, which is partly due to various tax concession programs and other financial incentives. In Korea, biodiesel has already been used for transportation fuel, but not used for power generation fuel yet. Korean government has a strategy for renewable energy propagation, especially the goal of power generation amount by renewable energy is 3% of total power production by 2012. This paper focuses on the feasibility study for adaptability and strategy of using biodiesel as power generation fuel. The study also has the plan to replace the fuel of thermal power plant, gas turbine and distributed power system. As the increase of biodiesel fuel, I look forward to environment-friendly power generation and the strategy of Renewable Portfolio Standards(RPS).

In this work, the mixture formation and atomization characteristics of biodiesel fuel were reviewed under various test conditions for the optimization of compression-ignition engine fueled with biodiesel. To achieve these, the effect of nozzle caviting flow, group-hole nozzle geometry and injection strategies on the injection rate, spray evolution and atomization characteristics of biodiesel were studied by using spray characteristics measuring system. At the same time, the fuel heating system was installed to obtain the effect of fuel temperature on the biodiesel fuel atomization. It was revealed that cavitation in the nozzle orifice promoted the atomization performance of biodiesel. The group-hole nozzle geometry and split injection strategies couldn't improve it, however, the different orifice angles which were diverged and converged angle of a group-hole nozzle enhanced the biodiesel atomization. It was also observed that the increase of fuel temperature induced the quick evaporation of biodiesel fuel droplet.

The low temperature characteristics of automotive diesel have been legally regulated due to the fact that solid particle in diesel at low temperature can cause severe problems in the vehicle. The biodiesel is well known for eco-friendly fuel, which is one of the most popular alternative petrodiesel, but it is easy to solidified at low temperature than petrodiesel at low temperature. For that reason, in this study, we investigated the low temperature fuel characteristics of diesel-biodiesel blends which were prepared to mix 6 different kinds of biodiesel to winter diesel fuel, respectively. Also, we confirmed to improve low temperature fuel characteristics by pour point depressant.

In this research, combustion and spray characteristics were investigated experimentally in a constant volume chamber by applying bio-diesel fuel to a common-rail system in which precise control is available for utilizing environmentally friendly properties of bio-diesel fuel. The experiment was conducted at fuel temperatures $20^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$ to investigate combustion characteristics of bio-diesel fuel provoking problems in fluidity specially in a low temperature. For the visualization, the experiment was carried out under various conditions of ambient pressure, injection pressure and fuel temperature. The test was made by three different types of diesel fuels, conventional diesel, BD20 and BD100. In summary, this research aims to investigate combustion characteristics in the application of bio-diesel fuels and compare the results with performance of conventional diesel fuel. This experimental data may provide fundamentals of spray and combustion of bio-diesel fuels at a low temperature and contribute to the development of bio-diesel engines in future.

Paraffin bio-based hydrotreated biodiesel(HBD) is originated from vegetable oil(the process can also be applied to animal fat) with the the chemical structure $C_nH_{2n+2}$. In the number of process of the oil or fat, the hydrogenation is significantly important to create a bio-based diesel fuel. This study is focused on lubricity characteristics of BTL diesel blends to use alternative diesel fuel in Korea. The BTL diesel are blended the different volume ratios (HBD 5(5 vol.% HBD - 95 vol.% diesel), HBD 10, HBD 20, HBD 30, HBD 40 and HBD 50. HBD with paraffin compounds showed a very high centane number, low sulfur content and free aromatic compound. Especially, the wear scar of HBD showed poor lubricity compared to automotive diesel due to the fuel composition, low sulfur content and free aromatic compound. Also, the lubricity specification of automotive diesel with different six HBD blends is within the limit by the Korean standards. Finally, HBD as an alternative diesel fuel is challengeable in transportation sector of Korea.

Spray characteristics of conventional diesel fuel and bio-diesel fuel(methyl-ester of soybean oil) were compared, in terms of spray tip penetration and spray angle, by using a commercial high pressure common rail injection system for light-duty DI Diesel engines. The experiments were carried out under the non-evaporating condition at ambient density(8.8, $15.6 kg/\textrm{m}^3$) and injection pressure(75, 135 MPa). The experimental method was based on a laser sheet scattering technique. Spray tip penetrations of bio-diesel fuel were longer, on the whole, than those of conventional diesel fuel, except for lower injection pressure(75 MPa) under lower ambient density$(8.8 kg/\textrm{m}^3)$. But spray near angle and spray far angle of bio-diesel fuel were smaller than those of conventional diesel fuel, implying spray angle is related to the growth rate of spray tip penetration. The experimental results of spray tip penetration agreed well with the calculated values by the Wakuri et al.'s correlation based on the momentum theory.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of properties of diesel and biodiesel fuels on the nozzle cavitation and the effect of the length/diameter(L/D) ratio on internal and external flow pattern of nozzle at the various injection conditions. In order to study the effect of the L/D ratio on the nozzle cavitation characteristics of diesel and biodiesel, the characteristics of cavitation flow in the nozzle are visualized and analyzed at the injection pressure of 0.1 MPa to 0.7 MPa by using the visualized images. It was founded that the cavitation was formed in the nozzle orifice at the low injection pressure and the breakup of the issuing liquid jet was promoted at the low L/D ratio. When the L/D ratio decrease, cavitation beginning and growth were affect by cavitation number and Reynolds number.

최근 들어 유럽 및 미국을 중심으로 각광받고 있는 가스화 열병합 설비는 석탄이나 바이오매스, 폐기물로부터 지역의 전기 및 냉난방 에너지를 공급하는 중소형 규모의 에너지 시스템으로서 시장적 측면이나 기술적 측면에서 그 활용 가능성이 매우 밝은 것으로 예견되고 있다. 가스화로부터 얻어지는 합성가스는 일반적으로 가스엔진, 스털링 엔진, 마이크로 가스터빈 및 중소형 가스터빈 등이 원동기 연료로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 가스화를 통한 합성가스는 일반적으로 LPG, CNG와 같은 고발열량 가스연료에 비해 발열량이 낮고, 반응성 및 화염속도도 매우 큰 차이를 보인다. 본 연구는 저발열량의 합성가스연료를 이용한 고효율 전소엔진 개발의 전 단계로서 60kW급 디젤혼소엔진을 개발하였다. 저발열량의 합성가스를 모사하기 위해 CNG에 질소를 희석한 연료를 사용하였으며, 디젤 연료 분사를 제어하기 위한 인젝터 드라이버 및 ECU를 적용하였다.
