A study on the combustion and exhaust emissions characteristics of diesel engine with various suction air humidity is performed experimentally. In this paper, suction air humidity is changed from RH 50% to RH 90%, the experiments are performed at engine speed 1800rpm, and main measured parameters are cylinder pressure, fuel consumption rate, CO, HC, NOx and Soot emissions etc. Increase of suction air humidity from RH 50% to RH 90% does not effect specific fuel consumption, decreases maximum pressure in cylinder, ratio of maximum pressure rise and net heat release, and delays ignition timing. Also, that increases CO and HC emissions, decreases NOx emissions, but does not constant in changing tendency on emission.

수질오염총량관리제 시행 하천에 대해서는 객관적이고 과학적 방법으로 유역내 각 지역의 오염부하량을 할당할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 대도시에서 배출되는 오염부하의 영향을 크게 받는 영산강수계의 중상류부를 대상으로 오염부하량 할당 방법에 대해 검토하였다. 오염부하량 할당을 위한 수질모델링은, 수질관리에 흔히 적용되어온 QUAL2E의 최근 판인, QUAL2Kw를 이용해서 수행하였다. 모델 적용 대상 지역의 각 reach의 수질매개변수는 QUAL2Kw의 자동보정 기능을 이용해서 추정하였다. 오염부하량 할당의 최적화는 유전알고리즘(genetic algorithm)을 이용하였고, 최소부하량 삭감법(least waste load removal allocation), 일정 부하량 이상 최소부하량 삭감법(least waste load removal over a certain value), 동일삭감률 할당법(equal removal rate)의 세가지 방법을 적용하고 비교 검토하였다. 동일삭감률 할당법은 다른 방법보다 유역 전체 부하량 삭감량이 훨씬 크기 때문에 효과적이지 않았고, 이 방법을 쓰기 위해서는 부하량 삭감대상인 각 소유역과 하수처리장을 그 규모와 특성에 따라 세분화할 필요가 있다. 동일삭감률 할당법의 적용시 세가지 범주로 나누어서 삭감률을 적용하였다. 오염부하량 삭감의 효율성을 감안할 때 최소 부하량 삭감법보다 일정 부하량 이상 최소부하량 삭감법이 더 적절한 것으로 검토되었다.

자연재해대책법 제 16조 6에 따라 기후변화로 인한 방재성능목표의 영향을 고려하기 위해 방재성능가이드라인을 설정하여 운영하고 있다. 2017년 공표된 기후변화를 고려한 방재성능목표 강우량의 단기 할증률은 CMIP5 자료를 기반으로 기본 5%, 관심 8%, 주의 10%의 할증률로 구분되어 적용되고 있다. 그러나, 미래 기후변화 시나리오에 따르면 확률강우량이 늘어나는 지역도 있지만, 감소될 것으로 예상되는 지역도 존재한다. 따라서, 모든 지역을 3개의 구간으로 나누어 증가 할증률을 적용하는 것에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 CMIP6 기후변화 자료를 시단위로 다운스케일링한 시계열을 이용하여 미래 기후변화로 인한 방재성능목표의 할증률을 산정하고, 각 할증률에 기반한 구간을 상세화하고자 한다. 구체적으로, 현재 기상청에서 제공하는 일단위 기후변화 데이터베이스와, CMIP6에서 제공하는 일단위 기후변화 자료를 구축하고, 분석하였다. 이후 구축된 일단위 자료를 시단위 자료로 Downscaling한 후, 각 이산화탄소 배출 시나리오인 SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5에 대해 앙상블 시계열을 생성하고, 다양한 기후변화의 불확실성을 적절하게 정량화 할 예정이다. 그중에서 방재성능목표와 가장 밀접하다고 생각되는 변수들(연강우량, 8월강우량, 연최대강우량, 30년빈도 확률강우량 등)을 CCF(Cross Correlation Function), ACC(Auto Correlation Function)방법 등을 통해 분석하여 최적의 변수들을 찾고, 그 값들의 앙상블 평균을 통해 안정된 방재성능목표 기후변화 할증률 값을 산정할 예정이다. 169개 지역의 시·군 단위의 티센망과, 238개 지역의 시·군·구 단위의 티센망을 구축하고, 기상청 ASOS(Automated Synoptic Observing System)의 69개 기상관측소 강우관측자료와 AWS(Automatic Weather System)의 419개 기상관측소를 활용하여 지역별 미래 기후변화를 고려한 비선형적 할증률를 제시할 것이다.

This paper dealt with the economic analysis on the application of shipboard LED (Light Emitting Diode) luminaires to replace incandescent and fluorescent lamps, which account for over 80 % of light source on a training or naval vessel. The rates of savings achieved in the power consumption, initial investment, maintenance cost, and fuel cost were analyzed. The break-even points and the $CO_2$ emissions were also calculated. For the training vessel, the initial investment was increased by 3.8 times, while the maintenance cost over five years was reduced by 51 %. When 40 %, 50 %, and 60 % of luminaires were turned on, the calculated break-even points were 11 months, 9 months, and 7 months, respectively. On the other hand, the initial investment was increased by 3.5 times while the maintenance cost over five years was saved by 55 % for the naval vessel. The break-even points were calculated as 15 months, 12 months, and 10 months, respectively. Moreover, the $CO_2$ emissions of the training and the naval vessels were reduced by 69 % and 65 %, respectively. From the results, it was revealed that the maintenance cost can be reduced by more than 50 %, and that the power consumption, fuel cost, and $CO_2$ emissions can be reduced by more than 60 % if LED luminaires are used on two types of vessels.

In this paper, we compare the spread effects of the carbon tax imposition method using the real business cycle model considering the productivity and energy price shocks. Scenario 1 sets the carbon tax rate that encourages the representative firm to maintain a constant $CO_2$ reduction ratio in accordance with its green house gas reduction targets for each period. Scenario 2 sets the method of imposing the steady state value of the carbon tax rate of Scenario 1 during the analysis period. The impulse response analysis shows that the responses of $CO_2$ emissions to external shocks are relatively sensitive in scenario 2. And simulation results show that the cost of $CO_2$ abatement is more volatile in scenario 1, and $CO_2$ emissions and $CO_2$ stock are more volatile in scenario 2. In particular, the percentage changes in volatility between the two scenarios of $CO_2$ emissions and $CO_2$ stock increase as the green house gas reduction target is harder. When the green house gas reduction target is 60% and over, the percentage changes(absolute value) between the two scenarios exceed the percentage change(absolute value) of the $CO_2$ reduction cost between them.

In order to improve air quality in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), the "Special Act on Seoul Metropolitan Air Quality Improvement" has been enforced since 2005. The strategy has resulted in some reduction of air pollution, but there has not been much research into the quantitative impact analysis of each separate preventive countermeasure. Therefore, we analyzed nitrogen oxide reduction resulting from implementation of the emission control plan for on-road mobile sources. The MM5-SMOKE-CMAQ model system was employed for air quality prediction. Reduced $NO_x$ emissions for SMA was 16,561 ton, 4.7% of reduction rate, in 2007. One countermeasure, tighter acceptable standards for manufacturing vehicles, dominated other countermeasures for effective $NO_x$ emission control. Large spatial differences in reduced emissions, those for Seoul being twice that of Incheon and Gyeonggi, showed greater $NO_x$ emission reduction impact in the heart of the metropolitan complex. The $NO_2$ concentration decreased by 0.60 ppb (2.0%), 0.18 ppb (1.5%), and 0.22 ppb (1.7%) in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, respectively. Concentration decreases in spring and winter were larger, 1.5~2.0 times, than summer and fall. However, the $NO_2$ reduction impact did not correspond directly to local $NO_x$ emission controls in the city area because of the natural flow and dispersion, both urban and downwind.

There are a number of policies that have been established to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and reduce energy consumption. These polices, however, only reflect the building energy consumption saving rate without considering building energy consumption characteristic. If building that already use less energy apply the same saving rate to reduce energy consumption, it is less effective. Therefore, this study classified building energy consumption characteristics and investigated approaches to adopt individual reduction rates according to energy consumption. Analysis results showed that there are differences in energy consumption depending on building use, and therefore, we classified buildings by use. We also proposed a formula to set a reduction goal for rate of energy consumption according to energy consumption. We verified our approach in a top-end neighborhood facility in Seoul. The energy consumption savings goal of this study can be applied individually, but determining whether a building can reduce energy consumption towards a saving goal requires a closer look at each building.

Nowadays, automobile manufacturers are focusing on the reduction of exhaust-gas emissions because of the harmful effects on humans and the environment, such as global warming by greenhouse gases. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) combustion is a promising technology that can improve fuel economy significantly compared to conventional port fuel injection (PFI) gasoline engines. In the present study, ultra-lean combustion with an excess air ratio of over 2.0 is realized with a spray-guided-type GDI combustion system, so that the fuel consumption is improved by about 13%. The level of exhaust-gas emissions and the operation performance with the multiple injection strategy and exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) are examined in comparison with the emission regulations and from the point of view of commercialization.

Diffused Aeration System (DAS) is one of the remediation methods used for removing contaminants in groundwater and this method brings air bubbles in contact with contaminated water, afterwards transferring contaminants in liquid phase into air phase. In this study, three applicability tests using DAS were conducted in two highly contaminated sites. For these tests, diffused air bubbles are generated with a in-flow rate of 17.1, 44.8 and 76.5 (1/min), respectively. The concentrations of TCE in grounwater and air phase were measured during the tests. The measured results showed that TCE concentration hit the highest value after 6~8 min and afterwards decreased gradually. Also, it was observed that the TCE concentration in air phase changed depending on the rate of diffused aeration. In addition, $K_La$ values from liquid to air phase were calculated based on the test results and those of three tests (test 1, 2 3) were 0.444, 1.158 and 1.836(1/hr), respectively. From the comparison of $K_La$ values, the faster air in-flow rate is, the higher the efficiency of the DAS is.

중국의 전력소비는 1980-92년간 연율 7.9$\%$ 증가했으며, 1992-2010년간 실질 GNP 성장률이 연율 8$\%$라는 전제하에 전력소비는 연률 7.8$\%$증가할 것이다.(1992-2000년간은 연율 9$\%$, 2000-2010년간은 연율 7$\%$ 예상). 가정 및 상업부문 전기소비가 산업부문보다 급속히 증가할 것으로 보이는데, 이것은 소득증가로 가전기기의 보유가 늘어나기 때문이다. 지속적인 GNP서장의 제약요인으로 SOx, NOx, $CO_2$ 배출 등 환경 문제가 될 것이며, 발전 송전 배전인프라 건설에 필요한 자본투자규모가 1조달러에 이른다. 2010년에는 3백만b/d의 석유, 1백만톤의 석탄, 13.5백만톤의LNG 등 에너지수입에 국제수지균형이 애로요인으로 작용할 것으로 보인다.
