Flow analyses have been performed to investigate the uniformity of propellant flow through the fuel and oxidizer manifolds of a full-scaled gas generator for a pump-fed liquid rocket engines. Injectors were simulated as porous medium layers having equivalent pressure drops. The uniformity of propellants has been analyzed for 3 fuel rings and 3 injector head configurations. The mixture ratio distribution at the exit of injectors has been estimated from the mass flow rates of fuel and oxidizer. The best configuration of fuel ring and injection head was selected through these flow analyses.

The electric power system based on fuel cell is applied in various forms to the ship and offshore plants. In particular, a research on the hybrid power system of the fuel cell combined with battery in connection topology has been researched actively. Fuel cell-based hybrid ship has not been carried out research, it is not carried out research in the integrated monitoring system. In this paper, we developed an integrated monitoring system to increase the convenience and stability for the hybrid fuel-cell ship operator. Research into integrated monitoring system based on GUI (Graphic User Interface), in consideration of the stability of the user convenience and ship operations, and developed communication and hardwired signal with the main equipment of the ship, to see in realtime state of the ship. The collected ship operation data is stored and it can be seen after the ship operating.

To limit greenhouse gas emissions from ships, numerous environmental regulations and standards have been taken into effect. As a result, alternative fuels such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ammonia, and biofuels have been applied to ships. Most of these alternative fuels are low flashpoint fuels in the form of liquefied gas. Their use is predicted to continue to increase. Thus, management regulations for using low flash point fuel as a ship fuel are required. However, they are currently insufficient. In the case of LNG, ISO standards have been prepared in relation to bunkering. The Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF), a non-governmental organization (NGO), has also prepared and published a guideline on LNG bunkering. The classification society also requires safety management areas to be designated according to bunkering methods and procedures for safe bunkering. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a procedure for setting a safety management area according to the type of fuel, environmental conditions, and leakage scenarios and verify it with a numerical method. In this study, as a feasibility study for establishing these procedures, application status and standards of the industry were reviewed. Classification guidelines and existing preceding studies were analyzed and investigated. Based on results of this study, a procedure for establishing a safety management area for bunkering in domestic ports of Korea can be prepared.

연료전지는 차세대 대체 에너지원으로 부각되고 있다. 그러나 연료전지시스템 특성상 전류의 정격이 큼으로 전류의 리플성분을 감소시킬 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 부스트 컨버터 회로에서 인덕터에 흐르는 전류의 리플성분을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 3-channel 감${\cdot}$가극성 커플링 인덕터를 사용한 부스트 컨버터를 제안하였고 이를 일반적인 인덕터, 2-channel 감${\cdot}$가극성 커플링 인덕터를 사용한 컨버터 시스템과 비교 분석하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 시스템의 적합성을 검증하였다. 커플링 인덕터를 사용함으로써 전류 리플 성분이 감소될 뿐 아니라 시스템 효율, 무게, 가격 면에서의 효과도 기대 된다.

수소에너지의 무궁한 가능성 때문에 관련 기술은 미래 국가 경쟁력을 좌우할 것이며, 이러한 수소에너지의 핵심으로 수소제조공정 및 수소스테이션 관련 기술은 국가연료전지 시장을 비롯한 수소연료전지자동차 산업 전반에 커다란 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되고 있다. 그러므로 세계 각국은 수소에너지를 미래에너지원으로 개발하기 위하여 대규모로 기술개발 및 실증연구를 실시하고 있으며, 주로 수소연료전지자동차 개발과 아울러 수소스테이션 개발에 대한 인프라 구축에 대해 이루어지고 있다. 국내에서도 국가주도로 수소스테이션 건설이 이루어지고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 수소연료전지자동차를 이용하여 수소인프라와의 모니터링에 대한 현황에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

The number of ships using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel is increasing to respond to the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) air pollutant emission regulations. At the same time, the need to expand LNG bunkering infrastructure for stable fuel supply and demand for ships is emerging. LNG bunkering is carried out in three ways: truck to ship (TTS), pipe to ship (PTS), and ship to ship (STS). In foreign countries, all three methods are being carried out, but in Korea, LNG bunkering is carried out only with the TTS method owing to the lack of infrastructure. LNG bunkering is a high-risk operation. For safe bunkering operations, the competence of the workers is extremely important, and a professional training course is required to strengthen the competence. This study was conducted to design training contents for LNG bunkering workers for fostering LNG bunkering experts and performing safe and systematic bunkering work. To this end, the current status of LNG-fueled ships and bunkering was identified, and related domestic and abroad educational contents were analyzed. In addition, opinions on the importance of educational contents were collected through expert questionnaires. Consequently, we designed training contents suitable for various training targets and divided them into basic and advanced training courses, with a duration of 4 days, and proposed. Based on the designed training contents, if additional research is conducted by sufficiently reflecting Korea's bunkering environment, it will be of great help to improve the competence of LNG bunkering workers and to foster human resources.

This paper deals with a fuel metering unit (referred to as FMU) for air breathing engine. The proposed FMU consists of a constant pressure drop valve and a metering valve, both of which are controlled by servovalve. Linear analysis derived from a nonlinear mathematical model of FMU is carried out to find major parameters on the system performance. Numerical results using established model of FMU were in good agreement with the experimental results. It is also shown that the system stability is improved by reducing the constant pressure drop at metering valve and applying the triangular orifice to constant-pressure-drop valve through the simulation and experiments.

An effective control of the axial thrust of a turbopump is one of the critical issues for obtaining its operational stability. Axial thrusts of the fuel pump for the 75-ton class rocket engine under development were measured with water as a test propellant at a room temperature. According to the test results, the axial thrust of the fuel pump seemed to satisfy the axial force condition of its bearing. Also, the thrust was increased as a whole when the flowrate of the pump was decreased. Furthermore it was found that the thrust and the leakage flowate were modified when the gaps between the floating ring seals and the impeller were changed.
