탄소발자국(carbon footprint)은 인간의 생산 및 소비활동 전 과정에서 발생하는 온실가스의 양을 나타내는 지표 중 하나로, 최근 기후변화 대응 전략의 일환으로 국제사회의 주목을 받고 있는 개념이다. 현재 영국, 일본, 스위스, 프랑스, 미국 등 선진국을 중심으로 탄소발자국 산정을 통해 온실가스 배출을 저감하려는 시도가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 탄소발자국 개념을 물관리 분야로까지 확대 적용하는 방안이 논의되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 영국과 미국의 서로 다른 형태의 물분야 탄소발자국 산정 방안을 비교 분석함으로써 우리나라의 효율적인 기후변화 대응 물관리 계획에 적용하는 방향을 제시하는 데 있다. 영국은 2008년 제정된 기후변화법에 따라 탄소 저감 목표를 수립하고 정부 차원에서 마련한 표준화된 탄소 산정 가이드라인을 바탕으로 지역 물회사들로 하여금 탄소발자국 산정 및 온실가스 저감계획을 이행하도록 하고 있다. 반면 미국의 경우, 정부 차원에서 탄소라벨링 시스템이 제도화되어 있지는 않으나, 하천네트워크(River Network)와 같은 비영리 민간단체를 통해 물 분야의 탄소 저감 인벤토리가 구축되어 왔다. 현재 우리나라 수자원 분야에서 한국수자원공사가 일부 지역 정수장의 수돗물 및 병물의 생산 및 공급 전 과정에서 발생하는 탄소를 정량화하고 있으나, 물관리 시스템 전반의 온실가스 인벤토리 구축을 통한 표준화된 저감계획이 수립되지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 우선 영국과 미국에서 진행되어 온 물 분야 탄소발자국 논의의 배경과 동향 및 시행 체계를 살펴보고, 영국 정부 차원에서 제시한 물 분야 탄소 산정 가이드라인과 미국 민간부문에서 제시한 안을 각 항목별로 분석하였다. 이를 통해 두 나라가 비슷한 시기에 탄소발자국 논의를 시작하였음에도 불구하고 실제 적용 과정에서 나타나는 차이점과 특수성을 분석하였다. 탄소발자국 산정은 오늘날 수자원 분야의 기후변화 대응력을 강화하기 위한 대안으로 그 중요성이 점차 증대되고 있다. 영국과 미국의 사례에서 살펴보았듯이 효율적인 온실가스 감축을 위해서는 총괄적인 온실가스 감축 인벤토리 구축이 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 국내 물관리 분야에서 저감 잠재력이 큰 곳을 중심으로 한 온실가스 저감계획 및 방향 설정에 유의한 시사점을 제공할 것이다.

A numerical study was performed to observe the relation between internal flow characteristics and operating temperatures in a Lapple cyclone. The present numerical results agree reasonably well with previous experimental and numerical results. As the operating temperature increases, the pressure drop decreases due to decrease of wall shear stress and tangential velocities. A detailed comparison of pressure drops in the cyclone between theoretical prediction models and the present numerical simulations is also presented for wide range of operating temperatures.

A Coolant core for Range Extender engine has been developed using CFD technique. Coolant by-pass has been added to the improved model to reduce temperature near and between exhaust valve. Due to the increased coolant flow-rate both around the second cylinder block and between exhaust valves, improved model shows no significant stagnant flow compared with base model. Finally, the improved model shows improved heat transfer coefficients near exhaust valves, and 5% reduced pressure-drop through the coolant core. Reduced pressure-drop may increase the fuel efficiency by reducing the load of a coolant pump.

최근에 국내에서 활발히 보급되기 시작한 폐기물 고형연료(Refuse-Derived Fuel : RDF)에 적합한 HCl 배출 저감설비의 개발에 필요한 기본적인 자료를 확보하기 위한 첫 번째 단계로서 RDF 연소시의 HCl 생성 및 저감 특성에 대한 실험실적인 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 개당 무게가 $2{\sim}3\;g$ 정도인 RDF 시료는 실험실적 방법으로 제조하였고, Ca 계통의 흡수제를 선택하여 RDF 중의 Cl 함량 및 원료 조성에 따른 HCl 배출농도 및 흡수제 사용량, Ca/Cl 몰비에 따른 HCl 제거효율, 연소 조건별 생성물질, 반응온도별 HCl 배출농도 및 회재의 Cl 함량, 흡수제별 HCl 저감효율 변화 등을 살펴보았다. 또한 40 kg/hr과 200 kg/hr의 용량을 가진 RDF 연소용 실험설비에서 측정된 HCl 배출농도, RDF의 Cl 함량, 회재 종류별 Cl 함량 분포 등을 기초실험 결과와 비교분석하였다.

This study presents the test results on the compaction characteristics of warm mix asphalt mixtures that include the additive in 3 different mixtures(hot mix asphalt, SBS and SMA). The tests were conducted to find out the compaction characteristics on the compactability with varying compaction time, different amount of the warm mix additive and lowering the compaction temperature. The Superpave gyratory compactor was used to find out the variation of the density when the number of the gyration is varied. A dense mixture and 3 different warm mix additives were employed to find the relationship between compactability and compaction time. The comparison of the compactability with lowering the temperature was conducted using dense mixture, SBS polymer modified mixture and stone matrix asphalt mixture(SMA). The difference of the density of warm mix asphalt mixtures was not found due to the lowering of compaction temperature when it was compared with the standard mixture and the warm mix showed the stable condition in density. In the mean time, depending upon the different warm mix additive and mixture, the difference of density and the variation trend of compaction is found to be existed and shows the relationship between these two variables.

Small-pore Cu-chabazite SCR catalysts with high NOx conversion at low temperatures are of interest for marine diesel engines with exhaust temperatures in the range of 150 to $300^{\circ}C$. Unfortunately, fuels for marine diesel engines can contain a high level of sulfur of up to 1.5% by volume, which corresponds to a $SO_2$ level of 500 ppm in the exhaust gases for an engine operating with an A/F ratio of 50:1. This high level of $SO_2$ in the exhaust may have detrimental effects on the NOx performance of the Cu-chabazite SCR catalysts. In the present study, a bench-flow reactor is used to investigate the effects of sulfur poisoning on the NOx performance of Cu-chabazite SCR catalysts. The SCR catalysts were exposed to simulated diesel exhaust gas stream consisted of 500 ppm $SO_2$, 5% $CO_2$, 14% $O_2$, 5% $H_2O$ with $N_2$ as the balance gas at 150, 200, 250 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours at a GHSV of 30,000 $h^{-1}$. After sulfur poisoning the low-temperature NOx performance of the SCR catalyst is evaluated over a temperature range of 150-$300^{\circ}C$ to determine the extent of the catalyst deactivation. Desulfation is also carried out at 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to determine whether it is possible to recover the NOx performance of the sulfur-poisoned SCR Catalysts.

In this study, a study on how to use a fire hydrant as a heat wave reduction facility through hydraulic analysis of the water supply pipe network was conducted. Assuming that the fire hydrant installation point is open for heat wave reduction, the water pressure at each point was derived. And the reduction rate of the temperature according to the hydrant watering was compared with the watering area according to the operation of the watering truck. The watering area according to the opening of the fire hydrant was calculated by deriving the pressure value at the node where the fire hydrant was installed through hydraulic analysis of the water pipe network, and then using the watering radius relational expression according to the pressure value. As a result of applying the proposed methodology to two real city areas, the temperature reduction effect of the watering method by a fire hydrant can be derived lower than the watering method by a watering truck according to the difference in the absolute watering area. However, unlike a watering truck, a fire hydrant does not have a relative restriction on the amount of water supply and is expected to allows continuous divided spraying of the same area.

The HCCI engine is a next generation engine, with high efficiency and low emissions. The engine may be an alternative to SI and DI engines; however, HCCI's operating range is limited by an excessive rate of pressure rise during combustion and the resulting engine knock in high-load. The purpose of this study was to gain a understanding of the effect of only initial temperature and thermal stratification for reducing the pressure-rise rate in HCCI combustion. And we confirmed characteristics of combustion, knocking and emissions. The engine was fueled with Di-Methyl Ether. The computations were conducted using both a single-zone model and a multi-zone model by CHEMKIN and modified SENKIN.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of various manufacturing conditions of soy sauce containing hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) (HVP-soy sauce) on 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) contents. Various HVP soy sauces were prepared under different conditions of alkaline treatment and retention process. Derivatives of heptafluorobutylimidazole (HFBI) 3-MCPD were determined via GC/MS below $0.010{\mu}g/g$, which was sensitive with a good recovery rate. The quantity of 3-MCPD decreased with the pH and temperature of alkaline treatment, and the time and temperature of the retention process increased. Alkaline treatment at pH 10.0-10.5 and a 72 hr retention process were shown to reduce effectively the 3-MCPD contents of HVP-soy sauces. This result indicates that the manufacturing process, particularly alkaline treatment, and retention process would be critical steps in managing 3-MCPD contents in HVP-soy sauce.
