From wood to coal and petroleum, mankind has used various fuel. Since using such fuel, mankind has developed power source of mechanism. We obtain numerous power from caloric force. Present energy supply is based on the fossil fuel. Fossil fuel has high energy density and is convenient for transportation and storage. Human being prepared countermeasure of energy economy, high energy efficiency and substitution energy for limits of fossil fuel. High energy efficiency among them is very important. This research will improve total output by physical exergy recovery of $LH_2$-fuel cell system.

2차 대전 이후 미국과 소련의 우주 경쟁으로 인해 로켓엔진에 대한 많은 발전이 이루어졌고 그 결과 새로운 엔진 사이클과 많은 종류의 추진제가 개발되었다. 냉전 후 많은 ICBM이 민간용으로 개조되었지만 대부분의 민간용 발사체는 연료로 케로신과 액체수소를 사용하고 있다. 아폴로 계획까지 우주개발 초창기에는 미, 소 양국 모두 케로신 엔진을 주축으로 사용하였으나 우주왕복선의 시대가 도래한 이후 미국에서는 수소엔진을 주력으로 사용하였다. 그러나 현재 우주왕복선이 퇴역한 이후 러시아의 도움을 받아 개발 혹은 수입된 케로신 엔진이 델타와 아틀라스에 사용되고 있다. 또한 최초의 민간발사체인 팰콘에도 멀린이라는 케로신 엔진이 적용되었다. 수소엔진 이후에 새로이 개발되고 있는 메탄엔진은 아직 실용화에는 이르지 못하였기 때문에 적어도 당분간은 케로신 엔진이 로켓엔진 분야를 선도할 것으로 보인다.

오일 증기의 제트를 분사하여 잔류가스를 배기하는 오일확산펌프는, 구조가 간단하여 고장이 적고 저렴하며 소음 및 전기노이즈가 적게 발생하는 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 오일의 증기압에 의해 그 도달압력이 10-9 Torr 이상으로 제한되어, 액체질소로 냉각되는 배플형태의 저온 트랩을 사용하지 않는 한 10-10 Torr영역의 초고진공 배기용으로는 사용하지 못하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 유회전펌프로 뒷받침 배기(foreline pumping)하는 700l/s의 배기속도를 가진 오일확산펌프에 300 liter/sec의 컨덕턴스를 가진 액체질소 트랩을 부착하여 메탈 실링을 사용하는 초고진공 챔버를 배기하였다. 액체질소트랩에 액체질소를 투입하면 $1{\times}10-8Pa$이하의 초고진공이 얻어졌으나, 액체질소가 증발하여 트랩의 온도가 상온으로 상승하면 압력도 $1{\times}10-7Pa$ 이상으로 상승하였다. 50 liter/sec의 배기속도를 가진 터보분자펌프로 오일확산펌프를 뒷받침 배기하면 액체질소를 투입하지 않은 상태에서 $5{\times}10-9Pa$이하의 초고진공이 얻어졌으며, 액체질소를 투입하여도 압력은 거의 변화하지 않았다. 잔류가스분석장치로 얻은 잔류가스 성분 스펙트럼은 수소가 잔류가스의 대부분을 차지하는 것을 보여주었다.

This paper presents the one-dimensional model of a hydrogen generator, where the alkali solution was supplied from the top to the dry aluminum powders. Hydrogen was produced as the solution moved downward and reacted with aluminum. The species conservation equations were considered for the hydrogen gas and alkali solution, while the energy conservation equation was applied to the gas-liquid-solid mixture as a single medium. The gas rising velocity and liquid penetration velocity were also included in the theoretical approach. The developed code was validated with the experimental data of the hydrogen production amount and collector pressure. Additionally, the model successfully predicted the various reactor properties, such as the concentrations, volume fractions, and temperatures, and is expected to help significantly in the design of a novel hydrogen generator.

In this study, the theoretical analysis focused on the quantity of liquid hydrogen required for cooling down to 20 K, as well as the generation of boil-off gas (BOG) from the cooling process of the cryogenic components. The study involved calculating the amount of liquid hydrogen needed to achieve the desired temperature for the cryogenic components and subsequently determining the resulting BOG production at various reference temperatures. It was shown that it was important to efficiently lower the temperature of cryogenic parts through preliminary cooling. As a result, the reference temperature and pressure had an influence on the BOG generation on the cooling of cryogenic components using liquid hydrogen.

The reduction of heat transfer rate to the stored liquid hydrogen from outside condition is extremely important to keep the liquid hydrogen longer. In this paper the highly efficient support system for the liquid hydrogen storage vessel was newly developed and analysed. The support system was composed of a spherical ball in the center of supporter to reduce the heat transfer area, with its above and below supporting blocks which are the SUS and PTFE blocks inserted in the SUS tube. The heat transfer rate and temperature distribution of the support system were evaluated by FLUENT, and the thermal stress and strain were estimated by ANSYS software. The results showed that the heat transfer rate from outer vessel to inner one was extremely decreased compared with the common method which is simply SUS tubes inserted between inner and outer tanks. The thermal stress and strain were obtained well below the limited values. As a result, it was the most efficient support system of storage vessel for liquid hydrogen and most cryogenic fluids.

Several analyses on tritium that is the largest release of gas or liquid radioactive waste from domestic PWR and PHWR NPPs were carried out, such as release comparison, directional frequency of wind and tritium behavior changes in environmental samples. First of all, analysis result showed that tritium released from PHWR was more than ten times as gas and double to three times as liquid in comparison to PWR in 2013. Independent release management in NPP units is needed to precisely control and analyze tritium, since there were 2 units of some NPPs having the same amount of release during analysis. In analysis on frequency of wind direction, average range showed 1.7 to 11.5% by 16-point compass. In case of analysis on sampling points by wind direction, Result showed most of the sampling points are right in places. However, There are some areas needed to examine. In analysis on tritium concentration changes in environmental samples, tritium concentration near NPPs was higher than one far away from NPPs. In case of environmental samples far from PWR, a trace of tritium occur. While, tritium concentration near NPPs was more than or equal to one further from PHWR. In conclusion, tritium occurs considerably in PHWR and is lower than standard in samples. but, it is still detected. Therefore, it is needed to strengthen control in system in NPPs and to consistently monitor tritium in environment.

In this study, Al₂O₃ and H-ZSM-5 were coated on the inner wall of the stainless steel tube for the stable use of liquid hydrocarbon fuel and an endothermic catalyst used as coolant for hypersonic flying vehicles. Coke production is inevitable by the endothermic decomposition reaction of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel, and Fe, Ni metals induce the production of the filamentous coke by using a stainless steel tube reactor as a cooling channel. By coating the stainless steel with H-ZSM-5, Fe and Ni metals are prevented from being directly exposed to the liquid hydrocarbon fuel, and the formation of the filamentous coke is inhibited. In addition, Al₂O₃ is coated between the stainless steel and H-ZSM-5 to enhance adhesion bond strength.

환경문제와 석유자원의 고갈이 많은 연구자들을 기존 탄화수소연료를 대체할수 있는 재생 가능한 연료를 구하는데 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 수소연료는 유해배기물질이 없는 연소와 또한 연소후에 재생 가능한 물성분만 배출하는 속성으로 미래의 청정에너지로 각광을 받고 있다. 이러한 이유로 수소연료는 수송기계의 연료로도 주목을 받고 있다. 따라서 수소연료기관 개발은 21세기에도 지속적으로 진행될 것이다. 이에대한 초기연구로 기체 LPG 연료가 아닌 액체 LPG 연료를 흡기관에 분사하여 기화된 LPG 연료를 엔진으로 흡입하는 LPi엔진에 수소연료를 과급하여 엔진에 성능을 연구하고자 하였다.

수소동위원소의 실험과 취급 및 삼중수소 제거시설의 운용이나 더 나아가서 핵융합소재의 관리기술을 위해서는 수소동위원소분만 아니라 그들의 이성질체들에 대한 정성 및 정량분석이 필수적이며 이를 위해 기체크로마토그래피 분리법이 중요한 분석수단으로 활용되어오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고순도 $H_2및$ $D_2의$ 수소동위원소 기체를 대상으로 하고 상용의 기체크로마토그래피 분석기를 사용하여 분리컬럼 분위기를 액체질소온도로 유지하고 헬륨 케리어기체를 특별제작된 진공-시료주입장치를 통해 펄스주입하여 크로마토그래피 분리실험을 수행하였다. 10%함량의 염화망간으로 부분 비활성화 시킨 산화알루미늄을 고정상으로 선정하여 이성질체의 분리를 억제할 수 있었으며 흡착후 분리용리시간이 단축된 비교적 좋은 수소동위원소 분리조건을 실증하므로서, 저농도 수소동위원소의 정량분석과 고순도 수소동위원소의 분리 및 농축기술 개발을 위한 기초를 마련하였다.
