Flameless fiber mat catalytic burners have been known as an effective heat source in industrial drying processes since heat obtained from combustion can be transferred to absorptive body by far-infrared radiation. In order to extend the application of fiber mat catalytic burner, novel fiber mat catalytic burners were manufactured and combustion characteristics of them were investigated. For diffusive catalytic burners, the efficiency of combustion was significantly affected by the installation direction and the temperature of catalytic bed perimeter influenced on the diffusion rate of oxygen which determined the combustion efficiency of catalytic burner. It was seen in premixed catalytic combustion that air content in premixed fuel gas was optimized at slightly higher than theoretical amount of air. Combustion heat released higher than 70% by radiant heat in premixed catalytic combustion likewise diffusive catalytic combustion.

The catalytic combustor has the advantage of stable combustion under very lean conditions with low emissions of $NO_x$, CO and unburned hydrocarbon(UHC). Notwithstanding these advantages, the commercial application of the catalytic combustion has been delayed due to the complicated reaction process. For the stable operation of catalytic combustor, study on the combustion characteristics of the catalytic combustor is needed. So, in this study, numerical study on the propane combustion characteristics of the catalytic combustor with Pd-based catalyst is performed.

The study on the heat exchanger with catalytic combustion was performed as the development of the catalytic combustion applications. This study tried to achieve the both goals-the mixture preheating and the heat transfer to working fluid simultaneously by using the steady state catalytic combustion. The combustion characteristics were investigated with the quantitative, qualitative experimental variants of the mixture. In addition, the temperature distribution of catalytic layer was investigated to investigate the correlation between the combustion characteristics and the heat balance of the catalytic layer. As a result, the steady state reaction within the appropriate range of temperature is the critical factor in catalytic applications. To get this, the sensible control of both the mixture flow and the heat balance of catalytic layer were required.

본 연구는 섬유 코팅 건조기에서 사용하고 있는 열풍 건조방식을 촉매버너를 이용한 직접 건조 방식으로 대체하기 위한 것이다. 촉매버너는 파이버 매트를 사용한 확산식 연소 방식을 채택하였다. 확산식 촉매버너는 코팅 건조기와 같은 밀폐형 구조에는 적합하지 않아서 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 연소용 공기를 촉매버너의 표면에 강제적으로 공급하여 촉매버너의 연소효율을 개선하였다. 아크릴이 코팅된 섬유의 건조 과정에서 발생하는 톨루엔을 회수하여 촉매버너의 연료로 재사용하도록 하였다. 이를 위하여 톨루엔을 사용한 경우의 촉매버너의 최적 설계조건을 도출하였다.

Catalytic combustion is generally accepted as one of the environmentally preferred alternatives for heat and power from fossil fuels, as it has the advantage of stable combustion under very lean conditions with such low emissions as UHC, CO, and NOx. In this work, therefore, comparative numerical studies on the catalytic combustion behaviors over Pd-based catalysts have been conducted with the gaseous $CH_4$, $C_2H_6$, and $C_3H_8$. In the following, after introducing the governing equations with 1D channel and Langmuir-Hinshelwood models, numerical investigations on the catalyst performance are conducted by changing such various parameters as inlet temperature, excess air ratio, and space velocity. The numerical results show that outlet temperature and conversion of $C_3H_8$ are highest among others because of its chemical structure and reactivity.

고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC) 시스템은 스택과 기계적 주변 장치인 MBOP(Mechanical Balance of Plant), 그리고 전기적 주변장치인 EBOP(Electrical Balance of Plant)로 구성되어있다. SOFC는 일반적으로 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 작동되기 때문에 효율적인 열 이용 및 열 관리가 중요하다. SOFC 시스템의 MBOP에는 상온의 연료가스들을 고온으로 가열하여 스택에 유입 시기키 위한 열교환기 및 촉매연소기 등의 장치들이 필요하며, 효율적인 열관리를 위해서는 고온에서 작동하는 장치들을 한곳에 통합하여 구성하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC 시스템의 MBOP(Mechanical Balance of Pant) 중 고온부에 해당하는 촉매연소기, 열교환기 및 스택이 통합된 스택 모듈을 제작에 앞서 개념 검증을 위해 열교환기 및 촉매연소기로 이루어진 프로토타입(prototype)의 SOFC 모듈평가 장치를 제작하였다. 열교환기는 Plate형으로 총 6개로 구성되어 있으며, 연료극과 공기극 가스라인에 각각 3개씩 배치하여 스택에 유입되는 연료 및 공기가 촉매연소기에서 나오는 고온의 배가스와 열교환되어 가열되도록 구성하였다. 촉매연소기는 honeycomb 타입의 촉매를 사용하였고, 촉매연소기로 유입되는 연료극 배가스와 공기의 균일혼합과 hot spot을 방지하기 위한 장치를 삽입하여 제작하였다. 제작된 SOFC 모듈평가장치는 시운전을 통해 각 장치의 성능 확인 후 반응면적이 $20{\times}20cm^2$ 인 단전지를 적층하여 연계 운전을 수행하였다.
