When the oil is produced in the low temperature environment, wax can be accumulated in petroleum production system(pipeline, riser) and causes problems such as pipeline stucking, disturbance of the oil production. These problems can be lead to time-consuming and economic losses for flow assurance. For prediction and mitigation of wax deposition, it is necessary to measure the Wax Appearance Temperature(WAT) which is a temperature when the wax crystals start to be formed. WAT standard measurement method of transparent oil has to determine the cloud point of sample to the naked eye and cannot be applied to continuous change of the temperature. In this study, wax behavior of transparent oil samples are recorded depending on temperature using Visualized WAT Measurement System. Also, WATs of transparent oil samples are measured by image processing and compared with the result of the standard method.

Fast pyrolysis of Quercus acutissima was carried out in a fluidized bed pyrolyser and then the physicochemical properities of obtained bio-oil were analyzed using GC/MS. The yields of bio-oil of Quercus acutissima and Larix leptolepis from a fluidized bed pyrolyzer were maximized at $350^{\circ}C\;and\;400^{\circ}C$, respectively. This is due to the difference or cellulose content between the two tree species. Above the optimum temperature, the yields of char and oil decreased as the reaction temperature increased, but the yield of gas-phase and water fraction increased. It is concluded that this phenomenon is occured by secondary pyrolysis in the free board. The feeding rate of the sample in a fluidized bed pyrolyser did not affect the yields and composition of products, because of a sufficient mixing between bed materials and sand.

지구온난화 현상과 화석연료의 고갈에 대한 두려움 때문에 재생에너지에 대한 관심이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 대체에너지, 합성가스, 화학 원료, 오일 등으로 전환할 수 있는 바이오매스 활용에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 바이오매스의 열화학적 전환 공정에는 열분해, 연소, 가스화 등이 이용되고 있다. 특히 열분해는 syringol, levoglucosan, guaiacol등의 고부가가치 물질들을 생산하기에 적합한 기술로 인정받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 톱밥, 폐목재 등의 바이오매스의 열화학적 전환 특성을 분석하였다. 사용된 바이오매스의 열분해 특성은 열중량 분석기 및 열천칭 반응기를 통해 분석하였으며 이를 통해 유동충 반응기(지름 0.2m, 높이 2m)를 설계 및 제작하였다. 반응온도 및 산소 농도가 증가할수록 levoglucosan 등의 고부가가치 물질들의 수율이 낮아지며 페놀류가 급격히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 회재 성분이 높은 왕겨의 바이오오일 수율은 톱밥보다 $30\%$이상 낮게 나타났다

An efficient cooling system for a piston of an automotive engine is very important. Therefore a large capacity gasoline engine or diesel engine has adopted the direct injection cooling system to increase its cooling efficiency. In this direct cooling system, an cooling oil is injected to a piston directly using an oil jet and this cooling oil flows through an oil gallery inside the piston. Flow rate and injection accuracy of this cooling oil are very important because these are main factors that have influence on its efficiency. The purpose of this study is to understand the changes of flow characteristics with various curvatures and diameters of an outlet nozzle and to check whether engine oil enters into the oil gallery well or not. From this study, we found that secondary flow was formed in a curved part of jet due to centrifugal force and irregular flow pattern appeared at the jet outlet. This pattern has influence on flow characteristics of engine oil entering the gallery. These simulation results have a good agreement with experiments.

유동형 급속열분해기((fluidized bed type fast pyrolyzer, 용량 300g/h)를 이용하여 너도밤나무와 침엽수 흔합재(독일가문비나무/전나무, 50:50)로부터 바이오오일을 생산하였다. 목질바이오매스의 열분해는 약 $470{\pm}5^{\circ}C$에서 1-2초 간 진행되었다. 목질바이오매스의 열분해 생성물의 조성을 살펴보면, 너도밤나무는 바이오오일이 약 60%, 탄이 약 9% 피리 고 가스가 31% 가량 생산되었으며, 침엽수 혼합재는 49%의 바이오오일, 9%의 탄, 그리고 42% 가량의 가스가 생성되었다. 두 종류의 목질바이오매스에서 생산된 바이오오일에는 약 17-22% 가량의 수분이 포함되어 있었으며, 비중은 약 1.2kg/L 이었다. 바이오오일의 원소 조성은 탄소가 45%, 산소가 47% 수소가 7%, 그리 고 질소가 1% 로서 일반적 인 목질바이오매스와 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 화석자원에서 생산되는 오일류와 비교하여 산소함량은 매우 높았으나 황은 전혀 포함하고 있지 않았다. 바이오오일의 GC분석 결과 총 90여종의 고리형, 또는 비고리형 저분자량 화합물이 검출되었으며 이들의 함량은 바이오오일 전건중량의 31-33% 정도로 측정되었다.

Deepwater oil is becoming more attractive because most onshore and shallow water oil is developing or developed. With the on-going trend to deepwater oil developments, flow assurance problems which prevent oil flow from reservoir to processing facilities are becoming an issue because deposited material can be occurred in case oil is exposed to very different environment from reservoir. Wax deposition which is one of flow assurance problems can be a major technical and economic issue because it is very sensitive to temperature. In order to predict and mitigate wax problems, the precise measurement of wax appearance temperature (WAT) which is the starting temperature of wax precipitation is very important. Various methods have been suggested for WAT measurement of opaque oil because there is no standard method for opaque oil. In this study, the WAT of opaque oil samples was measured using viscosity measurement method, differential scanning calorimetry, filter plugging method, and pressurized filter plugging method. Wax deposition test and high temperature gas chromatography analysis were applied to verify measured WAT. As a result of study, the WAT of opaque oils was successfully measured and verified. If WAT measurement methods of opaque oil related to oil characteristics is systematized using the results of this study, it can be a valuable tool for WAT measurement of opaque oil and flow assurance related to wax deposition.

본 논문에서는 얇은 직사각형 단면 형상을 가지는 세 가지 서로 다른 유동로 안에서 움직이는 공기버블의 변형 거동에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 압력 차이로 유체는 유동되며, 유동장을 따라서 변형하는 버블의 정상상태 모양을 관찰하였다. 벽면효과를 알아보기 위해 세 종류의 얇은 사각단면을 사용하였으며, 두 가지 종류의 작동 유체, 버블의 초기 크기, 작동 유체의 유량 등을 변화시켰을 때 이에 대한 공기 버블의 변형을 체계적으로 관찰하고 이들의 관계를 고찰하였다. 실험데이타를 정량화하여 캐필러리 수에 대한 버블의 무차원 속도비와의 관계를 상세하게 고찰하였다. 글리세린의 경우는 항상 버블 선단부의 곡률이 후단의 곡률보다 더 작게 나타났으며 실리콘 오일의 경우와 반대 경향이 관찰되었다. 두 경우 모두 캐필러리 수에 대한 속도비와 세장비 값은 1 보다 큰 값을 가졌다. 실리콘 오일의 경우는 주어진 Ca 수에 대하여 속도비가 글리세린의 경우보다 더 크게 나왔으며 버블 크기에 따른 속도비 분산도가 더 조밀하게 나타났다. 사각 단면 폭이 감소할수록 벽면 효과는 증대되었으며 같은 폭에 대해서는 버블 변형이 축소관의 경우가 가장 크게 나타났다.

An analytical model was developed by Sim to estimate the two-phase damping ratio for upward two-phase flow perpendicular to horizontal tube bundles. The parameters of two-phase flow, such as void fraction and pressure loss evaluated in the model, were calculated based on existing experimental formulations. However, it is necessary to implement a few improvements in the formulations for the case of tube bundles. For the purpose of the improved formulation, we need more information about the two-phase parameters, which can be found through experimental test. An experiment is performed with a typical normal square array of cylinders subjected to the two-phase flow of air-water in the tube bundles, to calculate the two-phase Euler number and the two-phase friction multiplier. The pitch-to-diameter ratio is 1.35 and the diameter of cylinder is 18mm. Pressure loss along the flow direction in the tube bundles is measured with a pressure transducer and data acquisition system to calculate the two-phase Euler number and the two-phase friction multiplier. The void fraction model by Feenstra et al. is used to estimate the void fraction of the two-phase flow in tube bundles. The experimental results of the two phase friction multiplier and two-phase Euler number for homogeneous and non-homogeneous two-phase flows are compared and evaluated against the analytical results given by Sim's model.

A comprehensive mechanistic model has been used to determine the flow pattern for gas-oil two-phase flow in pipes of petroleum production system. Depending on operational parameters, geometrical variables, and physical properties of the two phases, the two phases shows a specific flow patterns. For different parameters of the system, How pattern were compared for wide range of superficial velocities of oil and gas. In a variety of parameters, the inclinational angle and superficial velocities of oil and gas are the most dominant factors in determining the flow patterns for two-phase flow in pipelines. Other parameters such as pipe diameter and fluid properties have a limited effect on the change of flow patterns except for near transition. The mechanistic model is shown to be useful to determine the flow pattern in situations where either an experimental evaluation in a laboratory or reliable correlations are not available.
