In order to improve the quality of air in urban areas, the emission regulations are being strengthened by the government. The on-road test of light-duty vehicles was started with PEMS because certification test mode does not sufficiently reflect on-road conditions. Therefore, The PEMS-based test was implemented from Sep. 2017 in Europe and Korea. However, this is lack of data on various on-road patterns in Korea. The purpose of the present study has analyzed the effect of speed per acceleration and acceleration on NOx emission on-road driving. The test route consisted of urban, rural, and motorway in Seoul. This study has been conducted by Euro-6 vehicles using on SCR system with PEMS. The on-road emission characteristics were evaluated by moving averaging windows (MAW) method. In results, RDE-NOx by severe driving pattern has been 1.4 times higher than soft driving pattern NIER Route 1.

Subway is used as a useful transportation method to solve the metropolitan traffic problem for its advantages of being not only accurate, safe and massive, but also of not producing any exhaustion gas in compare with the other ground transportation systems. However, noise inside the car due to concrete based rail track and tunnel structure has become a social problem. So, an analysis on the noise characteristics according to their routes and locations was made on the basis of the actually measured results from the trial run. To reduce the interior noise of subway train, the side part of rolling stock should have a noise blocking system fur low band frequency noise, the floor of it should have that for medium range frequency noise and the side part as well as lower part of it should have good noise reduction and absorption function.

Stringent regulations of exhaust emission from vehicles become a major issue in automotive industries. In SI engines, it is one of the crucial factor to reduce exhaust emissions during cold start in order to meet stringent regulations such as SULEV or EURO-4, because SI engines emit a large portion of total harmful exhaust compounds when they are cold. At early stages of cold start in gasoline engines, exhaust gas temperature plays a key role to improve three way catalyst by virtue of fast warmup. Therefore, this study focused on the increase of exhaust gas temperature under controls of engine operating parameters such as spark ignition timing, valve overlap by virtue of intake VVT and catalyst heating function. Furthermore, effects on harmful emission due to these parameters are also investigated. Experiments showed that retarded spark ignition timings and increased valve overlap may be helpful to increase exhaust gas temperature. It was also found that $NO_x$ was decreased with increased valve overlap. This study also showed that sudden changes in ISA and amount of fuel due to the deactivation of catalyst heating function cause temporal increase of harmful emissions.

가스터빈 연소기의 난류유동장을 구성하는 기본적인 유동형태는 크게 밀폐관내의 돌연 확대를 가지는 동축제트, 선회유동, 그리고 연소공기공 및 회석공기공을 통해 연소실에 수직방향으로 유입되는 제트유동 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 실제 가스터빈 연소기내의 난류유동장을 수치해석하기 위해서는 임의의 형상을 갖는 3차원 유동장을 모사할 수 있는 수치해석법과 고차정확도를 유지하면서도 수렴안정성을 만족시키는 대류항 처리기법 등과 같은 수치모델의 개발이 선행되어야 하며, 이와 함께 복잡한 난류연소유동장을 정확히 묘사할 수 있는 난류모델 및 난류연소모델의 개발 및 검증이 가장 중요한 요인이 된다. 또한 가스터빈 연소기의 최적 설계는 넓은 작동구간에서 높은 효율, NOx 및 CO 배기량의 저감, 희박연소 가연한계의 확장, 연소계통에서의 낮은 압력강하, 낮은 연소벽면온도와 온도구배를 유지시키기 위한 공기에 의한 충분한 냉각 같은 서로 상충되는 설계조건을 만족해야 한다. 그리고, 이러한 상충된 연소설계조건들을 충족시키는 최적 연소기의 설계를 위해서는 실험적인 연구뿐만 아니라 연소기내의 물리적인 현상을 잘 반영할 수 있는 물리적 모델을 바탕으로 한 연소유동의 해석적인 연구를 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 원통형 가스터빈 연소기의 등온 및 연소유동장, 그리고 연소기와 연결되는 Scroll 내부의 난류유동장에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 수치 및 물리모델의 예측능력을 검증하였고, 가스터빈 연소유동장 해석에 관련된 중요 논점들에 대하여 심도있게 분석하였다.

It is expected that the introduction of real-driving emission will strengthen the exhaust emission. However, various researches have been reported that real-driving emission has been influenced by factors such as characteristics of the test routes and driving characteristics for drivers. In order to reflect this effect, European Commission applied the concept of driving dynamics to prevent deliberately driving of excessive and acceleration over RDE test. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of exhaust emissions according to real-driving test in three test routes and driving style. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that when the same driver tested real-driving test under three test routes, it depends on the driving characteristics of the route. Also, RDE-NOx for driving style was that severe driving has been about 16 times higher than normal driving in KNUT route.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of antioxidants and growth factors on early development of porcine follicular oocytes fertilized in vitro. The embryos without cumulus cells were transferred into NCSU 23 medium and cultured for 5~6 days. The proportions of embryos developed to morula and blastocyst stages were significantly higher (P＜0.05) in medium with 1.0(21.1%) and 2.0mM(22.3%) NAC than in control (14.7%) and 0.5mM NAC (12.2%). When the embryos were cultured in medium with ebselen, the highest proportion(36.9%) of embryos developed to morula or blastocyst stages was obtained in medium with 10 $\mu$M ebselen. Higher proportions of embryos were developed to rnorula and blastocyst stages during culture with 100$\mu$M than control, 50 and 200$\mu$M glutathione. The EGF and PDGF were evaluated as growth factors supplemented to the culture medium for in vitro development of porcine embryos. The proportions of embryos developed to morular and blastocyst stages were significantly higher (P＜0.05) in medium with 100ng/m1 ECF than control, 10 and 50ng/$m\ell$ EGF. However, the proportions of embryos developed to morular and blastocyst stages were not significantly different among concentrations of PDGF. In conclusions, these results indicate that NAC, ebselen and glutathione or EGF and PDGF can increase the proportion of embryos that develop beyond morula stage.

In semi-transverse ventilation system applied for road tunnel, adjustment of the port opening ratio is an essential part for uniform airflow rate per unit length over the entire tunnel. However, it has not been considered decently throughout the design process and operating of the tunnel. Therefore, in this study, we developed a program for the calculation of the opening size ratio of supply or exhaust port in transverse ventilation system and carried out the research to present a management plan for the port. In supply duct system, the opening size of the port had a tendency to increase and then decrease later when it gradually becomes closer toward the bulkhead at the beginning of the duct the minimum opening degree is to appeared as 56%. In the exhaust system, port size is the smallest at the beginning of duct as 15%, has shown a tendency to increase towards the bulk head. As results of estimating the air flow rate for 300 m intervals, the exhaust flow rate in the center of tunnel appeared to be extremely low as 8.1% and 12.5% when port size is constant and is adjusted supply type. Thus, even if the normal ventilation efficiency is declines, yet it is highly recommend adjusting the port size in order to obtain a uniform flow rate at fire accidents.

Combined cycle power plants (CCPP) that use natural gas as fuel are easier to start and stop, and have lower pollutant emissions, so their share of domestic power generation facilities is steadily increasing. However, CCPP have a high concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission in the initial start-up and low-load operation region, which causes yellow plume and civil complaints. As a control technology, the yellow plume reduction system was developed and operated from the mid-2000s. However, this technology was unable to control the phenomenon due to insufficient preheating of the vaporization system for 10 to 20 minutes of the initial start-up. In this study, CFD analysis and demonstration tests were performed to derive a control technology by injecting a reducing agent directly into the gas turbine exhaust duct. CFD analysis was performed by classifying into 5 cases according to the exhaust gas condition. The RMS values of all cases were less than 15%, showing a good mixing. Based on this, the installation and testing of the demonstration facilities facilitated complete control of the yellow plume phenomenon in the initial start-up.

This paper describes experimental results about emission and NOx reduction of dilution effect (Nitrogen and carbon dioxide) about various fuel compositions of synthetic natural gas (SNG). Combustion experiment was performed to investigate the combustion characteristics for SNG with various hydrogen ratio in SNG, heat input and equivalence ratio in a partially premixed model gas turbine combustor. NOx emission was similar to each hydrogen ratio and flame characteristics was investigated from OH chemiluminescence images. There was a singularity of CO emission in stoichiometric condition and it can be identified using OH chemiluminescence intensity. In addition, dilution effect was studied in using nitrogen and carbon dioxide as diluent to reduce the NOx emission. Carbon dioxide diluent was more effective to NOx reduction than nitrogen diluent because of its high diluent specific heat and its heat capacity.

The IMO MEPC has been increasingly strengthening the emission standard for marine environment protection. In particular, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions of all ocean-going ships built from 2016 will be required to comply with the Tier-III regulation. In this study, a vanadia based SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system developed for ship application was installed on a diesel engine for power generation of the training ship T/S SAENURI in Mokpo National Maritime University. For the present study, the exhaust pipeline of the generator diesel engine was modified to fit the urea SCR system. This study investigated the NOx reduction performance according to the two kind of injection method of urea solution (40%): Auto mode through the PLC (Programable Logic Control) and Manual mode. We were able to find the ammonia slip conditions when in manual mode method. So, the optimal urea injection quantity can be controlled at each engine load (25, 35, 50%) condition. It was achieved 80% reduction on nitrogen oxide. Furthermore, we found that the NOx reduction performance was better with the load up-down (while down to 25% from 50%) than the load down-up (while up to 50% from 25%) test.
