피스톤-실린더-링 틈새를 통해 일어나는 오일소모와 브로바이가스 증가는 최소화되어야 하며, 한편으로는 연료저감 및 성능증가 개선 측면에서 피스톤 링 팩의 마찰 손실도 줄일 필요가 있다. 이러한 두 가지 측면에서, 피스톤 링 팩의 최적 설계에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 한다. 따라서 오일소모 및 브로바이가스의 앙은 엔진개발과정 및 필드에서의 엔진운전 중에 엔진의 상태가 좋은지 나쁜지를 판단하는 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 연소실 내로의 오일 흐름 량과 피스톤 링 팩을 지나 아래로 내려가는 가스흐름을 계산하여 엔진오일 소모 및 브로바이가스를 예측하는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하는 것이다. 향 후 본 프로그램을 이용하여 엔진의 상태를 미리 예측할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

When the fouling of a vessel occurs, its resistance at sea increases and there is a corresponding increase in fuel consumption. The maintenance cost of the vessel also increases because it is time-consuming to remove the fouling. To solve this problem and minimize environmental contamination of sea-water, there have been recent developments in anti-fouling paints as self-polishing copolymers that not include toxic elements such as tin. When these conventional techniques are applied to vessels, polishing is promoted during the operation whereby friction or vibration with seawater occurs. This leads to enhanced anti-fouling performance. However, when fouling is intensified such as during an anchorage, there is no flow of seawater and polishing is suppressed. This leads to a deterioration of the performance of anti-fouling. To solve these problems, we developed a system that induces vibration in a vessel during anchorage. As such, the deterioration of polishing due to insuf icient flow of seawater is inhibited. The reliability of the ultrasonic antifouling system was evaluated by calculating its repeatability. The removal efficiency of fouling of the proposed system was qualitatively evaluated using test specimens. The test revealed that the value of the coefficient of variation for the reproducibility of the frequency and amplitude was 0.2 % and 4.0 % on average. The degree of fouling of the specimens was the highest at 73.3 g in the No.5 sepcimen. Moreover, efficiency of fouling removal was 93.2 % on average compared to the specimens without the proposed system.

Through the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, South Korea is trying to support the "Building Project for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Bunkering Ship," centered on the Korea Gas Corporation, while the Ministry of Maritime Af airs and Fisheries is pushing to construct an LNG bunkering terminal at Busan New Port. LNG bunkering ships are essential for supplying LNG fuel from the terminal to the ships, resulting in the need for safety operation procedures. Therefore, in this study, the stability of a coastal LNG bunkering ship operating from Busan New Port to the anchorage in Busan Port was assessed to investigate the need for operational procedures for coastal LNG bunkering ships. Seakeeping analysis of the LNG bunkering ship was performed for each significant wave height by combining the response amplitude operator from the ship motion analysis under the potential flow theory with the actual observed sea data for five years and Texel, Marsen, and Arsloe (TMA) spectrum suitable for the Busan coast. The results showed that the roll and horizontal acceleration were the main risks that affected the navigation seakeeping performance above a significance wave height of 2 m. The operational periods of the LNG bunkering ship ranged from 83.3% to 99.9% of the total observation period.

고분자연료전지(PEMFC)에서 기체확산층(GDL)은 다공성의 카본 종이/천 위에 마이크로한 다공층을 가치는 구조로 촉매층을 지지하고 촉매층과 분리판 사이의 전류전도체 역할을 한다. 또한 촉매층에 연료와 공기 확산 및 생성된 물의 통로 역할을 하며 소수성인 전기전도성 물질로 이루어져 있다. 현재 연료전지에 쓰이는 가스확산층은 대부분 국외 회사에서 제조 수입 사용하는 현황이고 국내에서는 협진 I&C가 연구하고 있으나 상용화는 아직 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 탄소섬유의 전도성을 개선하고자 탄소섬유 표면에 금속코팅 시 최적의 접촉계면유지를 위한 표면처리 방법 및 공정을 조사 분석 후 최적 개선방법(농도/온도/압력/시간)을 설정하고자 하였다. 또한 선정된 공정인자별 수준별 시험 후 샘플링 된 시료를 토대로 금속물질이 탄소섬유 표면에 코팅(도금)된 금속-탄소섬유를 대하여 평가하여 최적화시키고자 탄소섬유로부터 carbon paper GDL의 모재를 개발할 계획이다. 앞에서 설명한 바와 같이 탄소섬유를 이용하여 paper making, resin impregnation, molding, carbonization/graphitization의 제조공정을 거쳐 paper형태의 GDL을 생산 및 평가하고자 하였다.

In this study, we fabricate and investigate low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells with a ceramic substrate/porous metal/ceramic/porous metal structure. To realize low-temperature operation in solid oxide fuel cells, the membrane should be fabricated to have a thickness of the order of a few hundreds nanometers to minimize IR loss. Yttrium-doped barium zirconate (BYZ), a proton conductor, was used as the electrolyte. We deposited a 350-nm-thick Pt (anode) layer on a porous substrate by sputter deposition. We also deposited a 1-${\mu}m$-thick BYZ layer on the Pt anode using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Finally, we deposited a 200-nm-thick Pt (cathode) layer on the BYZ electrolyte by sputter deposition. The open circuit voltage (OCV) is 0.806 V, and the maximum power density is 11.9 mW/$cm^2$ at $350^{\circ}C$. Even though a fully dense electrolyte is deposited via PLD, a cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image reveals many voids and defects.

In the recent International Maritime Organization's (IMOs) Maritime Safety Committee's 93rd session, the International Chamber of Shipping and International Parcel Tankers Association addressed marine fuel oil quality problems: increasing diluents in marine fuel oil, ignition in engine rooms due to the low flash point of fuel oil, and marine fuel oils that can damage marine engines. To deal with these marine fuel oil quality problems, the International Maritime Organization secretariat appointed the worlds marine fuel oil monitoring institute and constituted a correspondence group to determine the fuel oil quality required by MARPOL Annex VI regulation 14.8 (sulfur content less than 0.5%). In this study, basic research that can help with responding to marine fuel quality issues and the IMO's work is conducted. In order to perform this basic research, the off-spec ratio related to the fuel oil quality standard (ISO 8217:2012), density distribution tendency, gross specific energy, and correlation between components in the fuel oil are analyzed through actual marine fuel oil (residual marine fuel) data from the Port of Singapore.

In this paper, a circulating current reduction approach for the parallel operation of fuelcell systems with Z-source inverters is investigated. The carrier phase shifted SPWM(Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) is used as a modulation method since it has an advantage in reducing output current harmonics. However, when this technique is applied to the parallel operation of Z-source inverters, it additionally produces circulating currents. A coupled circulating current reactor is used to reduce circulating current generated by the parallel operation of Z-source inverters and to reduce output current harmonics. The proposed circulating current reduction approach using coupled circulating current reactors is verified through simulation and experiment.

An experimental study on a fuel-rich gas generator was carried out. Thirty seven double-swirl injectors with recess number of 1.5 were distributed and installed in the injector head, which significantly influences the combustion performance. In the paper, the characteristics of combustion stability are inspected by the parametric varations such as changing length and diameter of a combustion chamber and installing a turbulence ring. The experimental results show that as a resonant frequency took place in a high region, the amplitude of the dynamic pressure generally diminished, however, the combustion instability could not be suppressed perfectly.
