An afterburning device was developed to safely treat unburnt gases of fuel-rich condition discharged by a gas generator. Hot-firing tests for a subscale gas generator were carried out to investigate operation and safety of the afterburning device. When supplying additional liquid oxygen, the length of the afterburning flame was significantly reduced.

A PEMFC system model for FCEV was constructed and simulated numerically to examine the heat/water flow of the system and air/fuel humidification process for various operation conditions (ambient pressure /temperature/humidity, operating temperature, power load). We modeled PEMFC stack which can generate maximum electricity of about 80 kW. This stack consists of 400 unit cells and each unit cell has $250cm^2$ reacting area. Uniform current density and uniform operating voltage per each cell was assumed. The results show the flow characteristics of heat and water at each component of PEMFC system in macro-scale. The capacity shortage of the radiator occurred when the ambient was hot $(over\;40^{\circ}C)$ and power level was high (over 50 kW). In spite of some heat release by evaporation of water in stack, heat unbalance reached to 20kW approximately in such a severe operating condition. This heat unbalance could be recovered by auxiliary radiators or high speed cooling fan with additional cost. In cold environment, the capacity of radiator exceeded the net heat generation to be released, which may cause a problem to drop the operating temperature of stack. We dealt with this problem by regulating mass flow rate of coolant and radiator fan speed. Finally, water balance was not easily broken when we retrieved condensed and/or unused water.

오늘날 청정에너지 중에서 많은 주목받고 있는 것으로 연료전지를 들 수 있다. 그러나 연료전지의 경우 저전압 대전류의 특성으로 인하여 상용전원에 전원을 공급하기 위해서는 승압 및 상용주파수로 변환해야하는 중간 과정을 거쳐야 한다. 이러한 전력변환장치로 1.5kW를 제작하고 실험으로서 전력 변환장치의 타당성을 검증 하고자 한다.

Each of power systems of solar cell and fuel cell were configured and validated for long endurance UAV, as the preliminary research for the integration of power systems. Solar power system consisted of solar modules fabricated by solar cells of Sunpower's C60, commercial solar MPPT controller and Li-po battery, and then was validated. The re-start characteristics of hydrogen production from $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis was validated for operating the commercial fuel cell. The average voltage drop of Li-po battery in solar power system was -2.9 V/hour. The performance of re-start characteristics of $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis was stable in sequence mode of mission profile. Each of single systems were satisfied for the proposed mission profile.

본 논문에서는 소형 PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane) 연료전지 스택의 BOS(Balance of Stack) 제어에 관하여 논의한다. 별도의 가습 장치가 필요치 않고 BOS의 구성이 비교적 간단한 소형 PEM 연료전지 시스템에서는 팬과 퍼지밸브만의 제어를 통해 스택 내부 수분의 조절과 열 관리가 수행된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 부하에 따른 최적의 공기유량을 계산하고 요구되는 유량의 공급을 위해 팬을 제어하는 알고리즘을 통해 소형 연료전지 시스템의 과도응답 특성과 안정성을 향상시키는 방법에 관하여 제안한다. 150W급 소형 연료전지 시스템을 꾸미고, 마이크로컨트롤러를 이용한 제어회로를 구현하여 실험함으로써 제안된 알고리즘의 유용함을 검증하였다.

The combustion in the cylinder of spark ignition engine is completed after the delayed time that the liquid film fuel is vapourized as flowing into the combustion chamber. It is necessary to enhance the homogeneity of mixture and the combustion phenomenon in order to improve the heat efficiency and the emission characteristics of spark ignition engine. The main purpose of this paper is to manufacture a combustion analyzing system and examine closely the influence of non-uniformity due to the liquid film fuel flowing in the intake manifold on the combustion characteristics by using a 4 stroke multi- cylinder spark ignition engine. Moreover, with each cylinder, the interpretation of combustion characteristics by indicator diagram and the concentration of exhaust gas were investigated.

In this study the possibility of hydrogen as a fuel in a small-sized two-stroke SI (Spark ignition) engine was investigated. For this purpose, experimental setup including an engine, a dynamometer, equipments for hydrogen and lubricant oil supply was prepared. And then preliminary experiments for the hydrogen-fueled engine combustion were conducted. In the case of hydrogen-fueled engines comparing to gasoline backfire occurs when the excess air ratio is lower than a specific value. This can cause engine power reduction and damage to the engine parts. The engine was controlled to operate at lean conditions to prevent backfire. Through the control of excess air ratio, the maximum engine brake power output of 3 kW was achieved in a 210 cc engine, while it was 6 kW in case of gasoline fuel.
