화력발전플랜트에서도 원자력플랜트와 마찬가지로 물을 이용하여 열에너지를 기계에너지로 바꾸고 다시 전기에너지로 교환하고 있다. 이런 과정에서 물의 물성은 온도와 압력에 따라 크게 변화한다. 이 물의 물성변화는 부식과 스케일 퇴적에 큰 영향을 주어 수질관리상 여러가지 문제를 제기하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 지열 에너지원으로써 터널 내부 벽면의 항온성을 이용하여 터널 외벽에 텍스타일 형태의 열교환기를 설치하고 열적 거동을 평가하였다. 터널의 라이닝 부분에서는 여러 가지 요인에 의해 지하수가 터널 내부로 유입하게 되므로 지하수의 유무에 대한 열적 거동 및 유동액의 순환 속도에 따른 영향, 열교환 파이프 배열 형태에 따른 영향을 현장 시험 시공과 현장 열응답시험을 통하여 평가하고자 하였다. 또한 3-D 유한체적해석 프로그램(FLUENT)을 이용하여 숏크리트와 라이닝의 열전도도를 고려한 열교환기의 성능을 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과 열교환 파이프 주변에 지하수의 흐름이 존재할 경우 열전달이 상대적으로 더 원활히 이루어졌으며 순환속도가 빠를 때 보다 느릴수록 효율이 높게 나타났다. 또한, 파이프의 간격이 넓을수록, 파이프의 길이가 길수록 효율이 높게 나타났다. 라이닝 및 숏크리트의 열전도도가 증가함에 따라 에너지 텍스타일의 열전달 효율이 높게 나타났다. 현장 시험을 통해 비슷한 길이의 파이프가 사용된 경우, 파이프 배열 형태에 따라 수평형보다는 수직형 배열의 효율이 높게 측정되었다.

We theoretically demonstrate that the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) energy can be manipulated by means of an external bias voltage in a $F_1/NM/F_2/S$$(F_1:ferromagnetic,\;NM:nonmagnetic\;metallic,\;F_2:ferromagnetic,\;S:semiconductor\;layers)$ four-layer system. It is well known that the IEC energy between two ferromagnetic layers separated by nanometer thick nonmagnetic layer depends on the spin-dependence of reflectivity to the $F_1/NM/F_2/S$ four-layer system, where the reflectivities at the interface in $NM/F_2$ interface also depends on $F_2/S$ interface due to the multiple reflection of an electron-like optics. Finally, the IEC energy depends on the spin-dependent electron reflectivity not only at the interfaces of $F_1/NM/F_2$, but also at the interface of $F_2/S$. Naturally the Schottky barrier is formed at the interface between metallic ferromagnetic layer and semiconductor, the Schottky barrier height and thickness can be tailored by an external bias voltage, which causes the change of the spin-dependent reflectivity at $F_2/S$ interface. We show that the IEC energy between two ferromagnetic layers can be controlled by an external bias voltage due ti the electron-optics nature using a simple free-electron-like one-dimensional model.

Ion exchange (IX) performance on the exchanger bed is essentially evaluated for the generation of ultrapure water in electronics and chemical industries and for the corrosion control in nuclear power plants. The breakthrough characteristics of IX bed with multi-component were investigated with both cation- and mixed-IX beds of H- and ETAH-form for four kinds of cation exchange resins by using the combined solution of ethanolamine (ETA) and ammonia (NH₃) at trace NaCl. Unlike major components (ETAH⁺ and NH₄⁺ ), the phenomena of breakthrough and overshooting at bed outlet were not observed by Na⁺ over the test period (> 3 times theoretical exchange capacity of IX bed). The breakthrough from H-form resin bed was sequentially reached by ETAH⁺ and NH₄⁺, while the overshooting was observed for ETAH⁺ at the breakthrough of NH₄⁺. NH₄⁺ was 51.5% higher than ETAH⁺ in terms of the relative selectivity determined with the width of breakthrough zone. At the increased concentration of Na⁺ at bed inlet, the selectivity and the overshooting were decreased and increased, respectively. Na⁺ leakage was higher from ETAH-form resin bed and was not identical for four kinds of cation-exchange resins, which may be reduced by improving the intrinsic property of IX resin.

A photo-crosslinked anion exchange membrane (AEM) based on quaternary-aminated polyacrylates was developed for reverse electrodialysis (RED). Although reverse electrodialysis is a clean and renewable energy generation system, the low power output and high membrane cost are serious obstacles to its commercialization. Cross-linked AEMs without any polymer supporters were fabricated through photo-crosslinking between polymer-typed acrylates with anion conducting groups, in particular, polymer-typed acrylates were synthesized based on engineering plastic with outstanding mechanical and chemical property. The fabricated membranes showed outstanding physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties. The area resistance of the fabricated membranes (CQAPPOA-20, CQAPPOA-35, and CQAPPOA-50) were ~50% lower than that of AMV (2.6 Ω cm²). Moreover, the transport number of CQAPPOA-35 wase comparable to that of AMV, despite the thin thickness (40 ㎛) of the fabricated membranes. The RED stack with the CQAPPOA-35 membrane provided an excellent maximum power density of 2.327 W m^-2 at a flow rate of 100 mL min^-1, which is 15% higher than that (2.026 W m^-2) of the RED stack with the AMV membrane. Considering easy fabrication process by UV photo-crosslinking and outstanding RED stack properties, the CQAPPOA-35 membrane is a promising candidate for REDs.

Transesterifications of waste oils mixed with animal tallows and vegetable oil by ultrasonic energy were examined over various catalysts for biodiesel production. Reaction activities of the transesterification were evaluated to the ultrasonic energy and thermal energy. The physicochemical properties of feedstock and products were also investigated to the biodiesels produced from the oils in the reaction using ultrasonic energy. The highest fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield was obtained on the potassium hydroxide catalyst in the transesterification by ultrasonic irradiation. The effective reaction conditions by ultrasonic energy were 0.5 wt% catalyst loading and 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to the mixed oils. The reaction rate of the transesterification by ultrasonic energy was faster than that by thermal energy. The highest yields of FAME were obtained as 80% in 5 min and the reaction equilibrium reached at that time.

전역조명기법(global illumination)중에서 난반사(diffuse reflection) 객체들 사이의 관계를 효과적으로 표현하는 래디오시티(radiosity)방법은 객체들 사이의 에너지 교환에 에너지 평형 상태를 모델링 한다. 그러나 래디오시티는 많은 계산량으로 인해 실시간 활용에는 적합하지 않았다. 최근 장면생성에 걸리는 소요시간을 크게 단축시킬 수 있는 비용대비 고성능의 그래픽스 하드웨어(GPU)를 이용한 방법들이 제안되고 있다. 객체들 사이에서 교환되는 에너지는 래디언스(radiance)로 표현이 가능하며, 이러한 래디언스는 대상 장면에서 취득한 HDR(High Dynamic Range) 영상으로부터 래디언스 맵을 구성해서 얻을 수 있다. 이를 기반으로 대상장면의 조명환경을 구성하면 대상장면의 복잡도와는 별개로 빠르고 사실적인 합성장면을 생성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 G. Coombe 등이 제안한 점진적 세분(progressive refinement) 알고리즘을 수정하여 래디언스 맵을 이용할 수 있도록 하였으며, 각 텍셀(texel)설정 및 보간(interpolation) 적용 등에 따른 실험 결과를 얻고 분석하였다. 구현된 방법은 이후 영상기반 재조명과 그래픽스 하드웨어를 이용한 영상합성 기술로 영화, 애니메이션, 가상현실, 게임 등에 다양하게 활용될 예정이다.

Efficiency of geothermal heat exchanger operation has close relation with temperature variation of the aquifer where the exchanger is installed. In the case of long-term operation, temperature distribution of the aquifer would be similar to that of water circulating in the exchanger, which causes the decrease of heat exchange rate. Therefore, the operation period of the heat exchanger should be controlled so that the temperature distribution of the aquifer is recovered. We developed a model to determine the operation period to acquire the optimal efficiency under the given aquifer condition. With this suggested method, when we use closed-loop heat exchanger, the operation efficiency of the geothermal heat exchanger is expected to be maximized by determining the optimal operation period.

In this study, Br-PPO was developed by applying additive organic particles through a suspension polymerization synthesis method. The anion exchange membrane fuel cell system performance was evaluated using it to an anion exchange membrane. To improve the performance, organic ion exchange particles were prepared and added to the anion exchange membrane. Chemical structure analysis and synthesis were determined through FT-IR and NMR, and tensile strength and thermal stability were measured through TGA and UTM to determine whether it could be driven. Before the anion exchange membrane fuel cell test, the performance was evaluated by measuring the ion conductivity and ion exchange capacity. Finally, the Br-PPO-TMA-SDV (0.7%) anion exchange membrane with excellent ion conductivity and ion exchange capacity was introduced into the fuel cell system. Its performance was compared with FAA-3-50, a commercial membrane, to determine whether it could be introduced into a fuel cell system.

Secondary energy conversion systems have been briskly developed owing to environmental issue and problems of fossil fuel. They are basically operated based on electro-chemical systems. In addition, ion exchange membranes are one of the significant factors to determine performance in their systems. Therefore, the ion exchange membranes in suitable conditions must be developed to improve the performance for the electro-chemical systems. These ion exchange membranes can be classified into various types such as cation exchange membrane, anion exchange membrane and bipolar membrane. Their membranes have distinct characteristics according to the chemical, physical and morphological structure. In this review, the types of ion exchange membranes and their fabrication processes are described with main characteristics. Moreover, applications of ion exchange membranes in newly developed energy conversion systems such as reverse electrodialysis, redox flow battery and water electrolysis process are described including their roles and requirements.
