In this research, numerical analysis was performed to determine the effects of hydrogen on biogas combustion for homogeneous charged compression ignition (HCCI) engines. The target engine specifications were a 2300cc displacement volume, 13:1 compression ratio, 15kW of electricity, and 1.2 bar boost pressure. The engine speed was fixed to 1800rpm. By varying the excess air ratio and hydrogen contents, the cylinder pressure, nitric oxide, and carbon dioxide were measured as a function of the hydrogen contents. According to preliminary studies related to the reaction mechanism for methane combustion and oxidation, a GRI 3.0 mechanism as the base mechanism was selected for HCCI combustion calculations describing the detailed reaction mechanism. By adding hydrogen, NO was increased while $CO_2$ was decreased. The cylinder pressure was also increased, having advanced timing for the maximum cylinder pressure and pressure rise region. Furthermore, lean operation limits were extended by adding hydrogen to the HCCI engine.

탄소 개질반응은 $1200^{\circ}C$(도1) 이상에서 모든 탄화물질과 수분 또는 $CO_2$ 사이에서 흡열/환원반응이 일어나서 합성가스를 생성한다. 개질반응로는 산화반응로와 연결되어, 수소가스와 CO 가스의 혼합인,합성가스가 산화반응로 내에서 산소가스와 연소하여 열과 $H_2O+CO_2$를 생성하여 환원 반응로 내로 유입되어, 환원 반응로를 $1200^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 유지하고, $H_2O$와 $CO_2$는 석탄 속의 모든 탄소를 CO로 개질한다(도2). 동시에 수소가스가 생성되어 합성가스를 생성하게 된다. 석탄 속의 비탄소 물질인 슬래그(Slag)는 개질로 내에 남게 되는데, 개질로를 슬래그 융점(non-fluid point) 이하에서 고체상태로 포집함으로서 Fly-ash로 처리된다. 개질로 내의 온도를 $1200{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$(석탄 슬래그 융점)로 유지함으로서 개질반응이 지속되어 합성가스가 생성된다. IGCC 시스템에서는 합성가스를 가스터빈 속에서 $O_2E가스와 연소하여 고온의 가스를 생성하여 터빈을 가동해 발전을 하고 배출가스를 $1500{\sim}1700^{\circ}C$에서 배출한다. 재래식 IGCC(도4)에서는 ${\sim}1500^{\circ}C$의 배출가스를 열교환 시스템에 의해 증기를 생성하여 Steam turbine(증기터빈)을 가동하여 추가 전력을 생산했다. 그러나 본 시스템에서는 배출가스(증기와 $CO_2E 가스)를 위의 개질로에 유입하여 개질로 온도를 $1200{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$로 유지함으로서 더 많은 합성가스를 생성 하게 된다(도3). 이렇게 하여 Oxidation-reduction cycle을 형성하게 된다. 새로운 IGCC 시스템에서 가스 터빈의 배출가스가 석탄 개질로에 연결되고 석탄개질로의 합성가스 출구가 가스터빈의 가스 입구에 연결됨으로서,외부에너지 주입 없이 지속 가능한 가스화 반응과 터빈 사이클(Cycle)을 완성하여 IGCC 시스템의 석탄 열효율을 1단계 상승시켰다. 이렇게 설계된 석탄가스화기는 Lurgi형 석탄가스화 기와 달리 석탄개질반응의 효율을 높일 수 있고, 슬래그 처리가 간단하기 때문에 석탄가스화기가 소형화 될 수 있으며 슬래그(Slag)용융에 따른 석탄가스화기의 외벽손상을 피할 수 있다.

In this study, a new method of combustion characteristics have been proposed to reduce exhaust emissions in a diesel engine using four kinds of mixed fuel. Mixed fuels show four different torque ratios between diesel oil md natural gas, which are 4:0, 3:1, 2:2 and 1:3. In order to investigate the exhaust gas during combustion, exhaust gases are sampled by gas analyzer, for example NOx, Soot, CO, and HC, as the RPM changed. As a result, the NOx, CO, and HC concentrations of mixed fuel are higher than those of diesel oil only. However, the Soot concentration of mixed fuel is lower when diesel oil is burned.

Low-temperature combustion (LTC) strategies, such as HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition), PCCI (Premixed Charge Compression Ignition), and RCCI (Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition), have been developed to effectively reduce NOx and PM while increasing the thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Through numerical analysis, this study examined the effects of the injection timing and two-stage injection ratio of diesel fuel, a highly reactive fuel, on the performance and exhaust gas of RCCI engines using gasoline as the low reactive fuel and diesel as the highly reactive fuel. In the case of two-stage injection, combustion slows down if the first injection timing is too advanced. The combustion temperature decreases, resulting in lower combustion performance and an increase in HC and CO. The injection timing of approximately -60°ATDC is considered the optimal injection timing considering the combustion performance, exhaust gas, and maximum pressure rise rate. When the second injection timing was changed during the two-stage injection, considering the combustion performance, exhaust gas, and the maximum pressure increase rate, it was judged to be optimal around -30°ATDC. In the case of two-stage injection, the optimal result was obtained when the first injection amount was set to approximately 60%. Finally, a two-stage injection rather than a single injection was considered more effective on the combustion performance and exhaust gas.

This study was investigated to determine the combustion characteristics, decomposition efficiency, and the flue gas concentrations after combustion in the high temperature reactor($1,250{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$, 1 atm) for the liquid wastes(waste oil and waste solvent) generated from the industrial complex. The concentration of nitrogen oxide(NOx) is decreased and the synthetic gas is increased when the mass ratio of $O_2$/waste is about 1.53 because the reaction condition was changed to reduction state. And BTEXs(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) are decomposed more than 99.99%. If the highly concentrated liquid waste (waste oil and waste solvent) is treated under the operating conditions suggested by this study, our treatment method for the liquid waste was found to be proper because of the contaminants emission concentration is very low. In addition, the synthetic gas after combustion can be used as an alternative fuel.

In this study confirmed the reduction effect of pollutant by applying Fi-EGR and FPI-EGR to hybrid combustion system realizing premixed flame and non-premxied flame at once. The results showed that NOx emission index decreased significantly in case of adopting EGR. Additionally, the hybrid combustion system with EGR resulted in a better performance compared to usual non-premixed combustion system such that it can reduce $NO_x$ emission at equivalent EGR ratios. Especially, in the case of 25% of FI-EGR ratio at hybrid combustion system that the ratio of non-premixed and premixed is 50 : 50, NOx emission index reduction rate was about 59% compared to $NO_x$ emission of non-premixed combustion system without EGR and in the case of 15% of FPI-EGR ratio at hybrid combustion system that the ratio of non-premixed and premixed is 70 : 30, $NO_x$ emission index reduction rate was about 48% compared to $NO_x$ emission of hybrid combustion system without EGR.

The sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) at Hanyang University Ansan campus, including direct sources, indirect sources, and others, were investigated in order to establish the GHG inventory. Emission of GHG was calculated with the energy use from each source from 2007 and 2009. The indirect emission (56.7%) due to the electricity significantly contributed to total GHG emission. The scenario for the GHG reduction was designed for both campus administration and members. The reduction potential of GHG was simulated from 2007 to 2020 using Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) model. In case of GHG reduction scenario by campus administration, the GHG can be reduced by 63.34 ton $CO_{2eq}/yr$ for stationary combustion in the direct source, by 221.1 ton $CO_{2eq}/yr$ for mobile combustion in the direct source, and by 4,637.34 ton $CO_{2eq}/yr$ for lighting in the indirect source, compared to 2020 Business As Usual (BAU). In case of GHG reduction action scenario by campus members, the reduction potential of GHG was 1293.76 ton $CO_{2eq}/yr$. Overall, the total GHG emissions in 2020 by the both scenarios can be decreased by 24% compared to 2020 BAU.

The cooling of hot exhaust gas is an important issue for the construction of combustor test facility. Water spray is an effective method for exhaust gas cooling due to its large latent heat in process of evaporation. In this study, 1-D analysis has been performed based on continuity, energy conservation, and saturated vapor property to understand water spray cooling of combustion gas. In the exhaust duct of combustor test facility, the injected water decreases combustion gas temperature, and evaporates in the combustion gas. However, some of the injected water is collected in the sump due to condensation. The evaporation of water helps combustion gas cooling, but causes pressure increase inside the exhaust duct due to increase of vapor pressure. These phenomena has been analyzed by 1-D modeling in this study. From 1-D analysis, the adequate mass flow rate of water spray to cool combustion gas and to avoid excessive pressure rise inside the exhaust duct has been decided.

In view of energy supply, biogas can be seen as alternative fuel by substituting considerable amount of fossil fuel and may be utilized for heat and power production or for transport fuel production ($CH_4-enriched$ biogas). The aim of this research is to analyse the emission of $NO_x$ and CO from biogas fired combustion engine for electric power production. The result indicate a significant effect of biogas composition ($CH_4-CO_2$ ratio) and biogas flow rate on the air pollutants emission. The emission factors from this study were compared with those of U.S. EPA. Low $CH_4-CO_2$ ratio condition typically shows the lower $NO_x$ and CO emission than higher $CH_4-CO_2$ ratio condition. At normal $CH_4-CO_2$ ratio (7:3) emission factors of $NO_x$ and CO were 1.29 and 30.43 g/MMBtu, respectively. At low $CH_4-CO_2$, ratio (6:4) emission factors of $NO_x$ and CO were 0.646 and 60.86 g/MMBtu, respectively, It should be emphasized that the actual emission may vary considerably from these results due to operating conditions including torque load and engine speed.
