Mathematical modeling and performance simulation results were shown for the solar thermal storage system which used heat pipe. The thermal storage system was composed of thermal storage tank and charging/discharging heat exchanger with one by the heat pipes. Heat pipe heat exchanger was attached to system, and could carry out charging and discharging to thermal storage tank at the same time. Height of the thermal storage tank was 600 mm, and that of the charging/discharging heat exchanger was 400 mm. Length of the heat pipe was the same as the total height of thermal storage system, and outer and inner diameter were 25.4 mm(O.D.) and 21.4 mm(I.D.) respectively. Diameter of the circular was 43 mm(O.D.), and fin geometries were considered as the design parameters. High temperature phase change material(PCM), $KNO_3$ and low temperature PCM, $LINO_3$ were charged to storage tank to adjust working temperature. Total size of thermal storage system able to get heat capacity more than 500 kW was calculated and the results were shown in this study. Number of heat pipe was required more than maximum 500, and total length of thermal storage system was calculated to the more than maximum 3 m at various condition.

Polygeneration process is widely used to pursuit high efficiency by sharing electricity, utility, refrigeration and the utilization of product chemicals. In this paper, performance analysis of the 450 MW Class polygeneration process was conducted with various syngas generated from coal and biomass gasifier. WGSR and PSA process were employed for hydrogen production and separation. Process modeling and dynamic simulation was carried out, and the results were compared with NETL report. Net power of the polygeneration process was 439 MW considering power consumption. More than 90% of CO was converted at WGSR and the hydrogen purity of PSA was more than 99.99%.

The characteristics of kinetic energy transfer during a collision between a rigid target particle on a surface and a fragile bullet particle moving at a high velocity were analyzed using molecular dynamics simulation. Bullet particles made of $CO_2$ were considered and their size, temperature, and velocity were varied over a wide range. The fraction of kinetic energy transferred from the bullet particle to the target particle was almost independent of the former's size or velocity; however, it was sensitively dependent on its temperature, which can be attributed to the change in the bullet rigidity with temperature. This fraction was nearly twice as high for $CO_2$ bullets as for Ar bullets. This result explains the reason for the more superior cleaning performance of $CO_2$ bullets than Ar bullets with regard to contaminants in the 10 nm size range.

본 연구에서 말단선량계에 대한 선량평가시 선량환산인자를 산출하기 위해 1995년의 ANSI N13.32 기준인 “말단선량계의 성능평가를 위한 기준”에서 제안된 기준 팬덤을 가지고 MCNP 전산코드를 이용하여 커마근사법에 의해 수행하였다. ANSI N13.32의 기준팬텀은 손·발 그리고 손가락을 대표하는 원통형으로서 특히 손·발 팬텀에 대해서는 뼈등가물질로 알루미늄을 삽입한 것을 제안함에 따라 본 계산 목적을 위하여 팬텀설계를 똑같이 모사하였으며 사용된 광자빔 에너지는 20keV에서부터 1.5MeV에 걸쳐 14개의 단일에너지를 선택하여 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 전산수행한 결과를 ANSI N13.32의 실험적 결과와 비교해 볼 때 50keV에서부터 1.5 MeV까지의 에너지 영역에서는 최대오차 6% 이내에서 거의 일치함을 보였다.

The continuous excessive consumption of fossil fuels is causing global warming, climate, and environmental crisis. Accordingly, hydrogen energy attracts attention among alternative energies of fossil fuels, because it has the advantage of not emitting pollutants and not having resource restrictions. Therefore, various studies are being conducted on a water electrolysis system for producing hydrogen and a fuel cell system for producing electricity by using hydrogen energy as a fuel. In this study, 3D ionomer models were produced by reflecting the excessive water condition of an anion-conductive ionomer material, which is one of the core materials of water electrolysis systems and fuel cells. Finally, by analyzing the structural stability and performance of the ionomer under an excessively hydrated condition, we suggested a performance improvement factor in the design of an anion conductive ionomer, a key material for water electrolysis systems and fuel cells.

As the application area of lithium secondary batteries becomes wider, performance characterization becomes difficult as well as diverse. To address this issue, battery manufacturers have to evaluate many batteries for a longer period, recruit many researchers and continuously introduce expensive equipment. Simulation techniques based on battery modeling are being introduced to solve such difficulties. Various lithium secondary battery modeling techniques have been reported so far and optimal techniques have been selected and utilized according to their purpose. In this review, the electrochemical modeling based on the Newman model is described in detail. Particularly, we will explain the physical meaning of each equation included in the model; the Butler-Volmer equation, which represents the rate of electrode reaction, the material and charge balance equations for each phase (solid and liquid), and the energy balance. Moreover, simple modeling processes and results based on COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3a will be provided and discussed.

고분자전해질연료전지의 효율과 수명은 고분자 전해질 막과 밀접하게 관련되어있다. 연료전지 상용화를 위해 내구성과 안정성은 반드시 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고분자전해질연료전지용 막전극접합체에 대해서 제작과정, 체결과정 및 운전 중에 발생할 수 있는 물리적 손상이 연료전지에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 실제 고분자전해질연료전지 조건에서 구멍이 생기는 경우를 모사하기 위해 막전극접합체에 다양한 크기 및 형상의 물리적 손상을 형성시켰다. 또한 여러 위치에서의 손상도 비교하였다. 손상시킨 막전극접합체에 대해 단위전지 성능평가와 순환전압전류 실험을 비교 분석하였다. 막전극접합체의 결함이 커질수록 수소기체투과도는 증가하고, OCV와 성능은 감소하였다. 또한 성능과 수소기체투과도는 서로 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Integration methods of a Gas Turbine and a Air Separation Unit have a potential to improve plant performance and cost of IFCC. Several studies on those integrations schemes were carried out. Then some of the methods were accually in commercial plants. Thus paper reviewed the integration schemes of a Gas Turbine and a Air Separation Unit. In order to compare the plant performance of IGCC with each scheme, simulation model was developed for IGCC power cycle with Texaco Quench gasification process. The simulation results showed that the thermal efficiency of the plant was appeared to be the best when all of the air consumption required for Air Separation Unit was supplied from the Gas Turbine and the net plant power output was maximized when 75% of the total ASU an requirement was supplied from Gas Turbine.

In this paper, the microwave absorbing characteristics after the impact of the radar-absorbing structure (RAS) consisting of periodic pattern sheet (PPS) and glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) were experimentally investigated. The fabricated RAS effectively absorbed the microwave in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz). In order to induce the damage to the RAS, a low-velocity impact test with various impact energy of 15, 40, and 60 J was conducted. Afterward, the impact damage was observed by using visual inspection, non-destructive test, and image processing method. Moreover, the absorbing performance of intact and damaged RAS was measured by the free-space measurement system. The experiment results revealed that the delamination damage from the impact energy of 15 J did not considerably affect the microwave absorbing performance of the RAS. However, fiber breakage and penetration damage with a relatively large damaged area were occuured when the impact energy was increased up to 40 J and 60 J, and these failures significantly degraded the microwave absorbing characteristics of the RAS.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device continuously converting the chemical energy in a fuel and an oxidant to electrical energy by going through an essentially invariant electrode-electrolyte system. Phosphoric acid fuel cell employs concentrated phosphoric acid as an electrolyte. The cell stack in the fuel cell, which is the most important part of the fuel cell system, is made up of anode where oxidation of the fuel occurs cathode where reduction of the oxidant occurs; and electrolyte, to separate the anode and cathode and to conduct the ions between them. Fuel cell performance is associated with many parameters such as operating and design parameters associated with the system configuration. In order to understand the design concepts of the phosphoric fuel cell and predict it's performance, we have here introduced the simulation of the fuel-cell stack which is core component and modeled in a 3-dimensional grid space. The concentration of reactants and products, and the temperature distributions according to the flow rates of an oxidant are computed by the help of a computational fluid dynamic code, i.e., FLUENT.
