During cold operation period, fuel injection system directly contributes the unburned hydrocarbon formation in spark ignition engines. The relationship between injection parameters and HC emission behavior was investigated through a series of experiments. Spray behavior of port fuel injectors was characterized through a quantitative evaluation of mass concentration of liquid fuel by a patternator and PDA. 6-hole injector was found to produce finer spray than single hole one. Using a purpose-built test rig, the wall wetting fuel was measured, which was mostly affected by wall temperature. Varying coolant temperature($20{\sim}80^{\circ}C$), HC emissions were measured in a production engine. With respect to the different types of injectors, HC emission was also measured. In the 6-hole injector application, the engine produced less HC emission in low coolant temperature region. Though it produces much more amount of wetting fuel, it has the advantages of finer atomization quality. In high coolant temperature region, there was little effect between different types of injectors. The control schemes to reduce HC emissions during cold start could be suggested from the findings that the amount of fuel supply and HC emission could be reduced by utilizing fine spray and high intake wall temperature.

바이오디젤의 국가별 의무 사용 정책 확대로 인해 원료유 가격이 상승하고 있으며 원료유가 부족한 상황으로 다양한 원료를 찾는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 육상 유지 작물보다 단위면적당 생산성이 매우 높은 미세조류는 제3세대 바이오매스로 주목받고 있으며 산업체 배출 이산화탄소를 이용해 작은 면적에서 배양할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 미세조류로부터 바이오디젤 생산은 먼저 오일 함량이 높은 미세조류 종의 선정과 배양 및 수확 후 효율적인 방법으로 바이오디젤 원료유를 추출하는 과정이 중요하다. 본 연구는 Microwave로 전처리된 미세조류로 부터 원료유를 추출하여, 인지질, 단백질, 엽록소 등의 반응저해 물질을 일부 감소시키고 추출수율을 높였지만, 산가가 80이상으로 높게 추출되고 추출된 오일이 높은 점성을 가지는 문제가 있다. 이로 인해 전이에스테르화 반응의 진행이 불가하였으며 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 에스테르화 반응에 용매를 혼합하여 반응성을 개선하고자 하였다. 추가된 보조 용매는 오일과 쉽게 혼합되어 반응물의 점성을 낮추고, 반응 완료후, 물에 쉽게 용해되는 불순물, 미 반응물, 촉매 등의 분리 및 제거를 용이하게 하는 장점이 있다. 또한 오일과 비교하여 낮은 끓는점을 갖는 용매는 증류를 통해 쉽게 제거가 가능하다. 반응이 완료된 오일은 초기산가 80에서 10이하의 감소를 나타내 용매 혼합 에스테르화의 효율적인 부분을 확인하였다.

Combustion instabilities are caused by the feedback relationship between heat release perturbations and acoustic pressure oscillations in the combustor. Studies on the combustion instability in an annular combustor have recently received great attention due to the enhanced NOx requirement in aero-engines. In this study, a thermoacoustic network model was developed in order to calculate the acoustic characteristics for various modes in the annular combustor. The network model is combined with flame transfer function(FTF) in order to calculate the stability of the combustor. Numerical results are compared with measurement data.

생활수준의 향상과 산업의 고도화로 에어컨의 수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 표 1에 나타낸 바와 같이 2001년의 세계 에어컨 (가정용 및 패키지 에어컨) 수요량은 약 4000만대로 전체 생산 및 수요의 80% 이상을 아시아(중국, 일본, 한국)와 미국이 차 지하고 있다. 국내업체의 2001년의 국내외 총 에어컨 생산량도 700만대 정도로 전 세계 수요의 약 15% 이상을 점하고 있는데, 에어컨의 냉매에 의한 환경문제가 중요한 사안으로 대두되고 있다. 에어컨의 냉매로 사용되고 있는 HCFC계 (R22) 냉매의 대채냉매로 사용중인 HFC계 냉매도 지구온난화지수가 높으며, 1997년 채택된 교토 의정서에서 대기 배출가스 억제 물질로 분류되었다. 따라서, HFC물질을 사용하는 경우 제품 폐기시 냉매를 회수해야 하는 문제를 가지고 있어서 자연냉매의 사용에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이산화탄소도 자연냉매의 하나로 선진국을 중심으로 이산화탄소에 대한 이용기술 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 선진국에서는 이산화탄소 냉매를 적용한 급탕기와 같은 일부 상품이 출하되고 있다. 그러나, 이산화탄소 냉매를 이용한 냉난방시스템에 대해서는 선진국에서도 현재 실험실 차원의 시작품을 제작하여 성능과 신뢰성 향상을 위한 연구가 진행되고 있는 단계이며, 실용화를 위해서는 해결되어야 할 여러 가지 문제점들이 남아 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 글에서는 산업자원부의 차세대신기술개발사의 일환으로 지원되고 있는 이산화탄소 냉매를 이용한 냉난방시스템의 개발 과제에 대해 간단히 소개하기로 한다.

본 연구에서는 침출수를 비롯한 매립지의 각종 오염물질 배출로 수자원이 오염되어 피폭체의 피해가 빈발하는 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 매립지의 상대적 유해성을 평가하여 한정된 환경관리 예산의 합리적 배분을 위한 우선순위를 결정할 수 있는 의사결정 지원도구로서 LHR(Landfill Site Hazard Ranking)모형을 개발했다. LHR모형은 다요소의사결정(多要素意思決) 기법에 정성적 위해성(危害性) 평가기법을 접맥시켜 주관적 가중치를 모형에 반영한 가치내재화(價値內在化) 모형이다. LHR모형은 피폭체의 주요 피폭경로를 지하수 이동경로와 지표수 이동경로로 보았으며, 각 이동경로별로 누출 가능성, 폐기물 특성 및 피폭체 특성으로 요소범주를 3종류로 구분하여 폐기물의 독성이나 매립량같은 특성이 매립지의 수리지질학적 요소 및 자연지리적 요소에 의해 결정되는 오염물질의 누출 가능성을 통해 매립지 주변의 지역주민과 취약한 수생태계 같은 피폭체에 끼치는 매립지의 유해성을 상대적으로 평가했다. 그리고 LHR모형에서는 매립지 유해성을 공기 이동경로 및 사회경제적 측면에서도 평가하기 위해 매립지 이격거리별 토지이용 형태의 유해성을 평가했다. 그리고 각 평가요소별 가중치는 위계분석과정(位階分析過程)의 쌍대비교법(雙對比較法)에 의하여 할당했으며, 민감도 분석으로 LHR모형을 검증했다.

This study was conducted to develop a stand growth model and a stand yield table for Eucalyptus pellita and Acacia mangium plantations in Kalimantan, Indonesia. To develop a stand growth model, Weibull robability density function, a diameter class model, was applied in this study. In the development of stand growth model by site index and stand age, a hierarchy is generally required - estimation, recovery and prediction of the diameter class model. A number of grow equations were also involved in each process to estimate diameter, height, basal area, minimum or maximum diameter. To examine whether the grow equations are adequate for Eucalyptus pellita or Acacia mangium plantations, a fitness index was analyzed for each equation. The results showed that fitness indices were ranged from 65 to 89% for Eucalyptus pellita plantations and from 72 to 95% for Acacia mangium plantations. As being highly adequate for the plantations, a stand yield table was developed based on the resulted growth model, and applied to estimate the stand growth with midium site index for 10-year period. The highest annual stand growth of Eucalyptus pellita plantations was estimated to be 21.25 $m^3$/ha, while that of Acacia mangium plantations was 27.5 $m^3$/ha. In terms of annual stand growth, Acacia mangium plantations appeared to be more beneficial than Eucalyptus pellita plantations. Also, to estimate commercial timber volume available from the plantations, an assumption that a log would be cut by 2.7 m in length and the rest of the log would be cut by 1.5m was involved. The commercial timber volume available from Eucalyptus pellita plantations was 68.0 $m^3$/ha, 33% from the total stand volume, 203.2 $m^3$/ha. Also 96.7 $m^3$/ha of commercial timbers were available from Acacia mangium plantations, which was 42% from the 232.9 $m^3$/ha in total. Presenting a good information about the stand growth in Eucalyptus pellita and Acacia mangium plantations, this study might be useful for whom proceeds or considers an abroad plantation for merchantable timber production or carbon credit in tropical regions.

The aim of this study was to determine the current distribution area of Robinia pseudoacacia habitat and to estimate its stand yield as well as its carbon stocks. In order to do so, the area of R. pseudoacacia distribution is obtained based on the large-scaled forest type map (1:5,000). Also, Weibull diameter distribution model is used to predict the yield of R. pseudoacacia stands. In addition, carbon emission factor is applied to calculate carbon stocks and removals. To obtain the stand yield of R. pseudoacacia, we developed estimation equation considering growth factors of the stand, e.g. mean diameter, the basal area, maximum and minimun diameter and etc. and tested it to ensure accuracy. Consequently, estimation equation derived from all growth factors have shown significance that could also be used for analysis. Site index was also established to determine the productivity of the forestland that later turned out to be ranging from 16 to 22. Based on these results, stand yield tables were drawn up. R. pseudoacacia is widely distributed in inland areas of Gyeongsang, Chungcheong and Gyeonggi provinces which covers total area of 26,770 ha. And when it is converted into carbon stocks, it amounts to 2,517,598tC with annual carbon uptake of 3.76tC/ha which is comparable to Querqus species that is known to storer large amounts of carbon. Therefore, R. pseudoacacia is also expected to serve as a viable carbon pool that would contribute to the mitigation of climate change. Furthermore, stand yield tables, an outcome of this survey would assist not only in proper management but also in sustainable management policy of R. pseudoacacia.
