The supercavitating rocket torpedo SHKVAL was analyzed in view of its system operation procedure and the structure and performance. 3 different propulsion systems installed in SHKVAL were 1st solid rocket booster for launch and acceleration, 2nd solid rocket booster for further acceleration, and Mg-rich Hydroreactive fuel rocket propulsion system for cruising. The gas generator used to help generate the supercavitation bubble was composed of a solid propellant gas generator and a hydroreactive fuel one. The structures and their performance were described based on as much knowledge as we have obtained from cumulative information and up-to-date analysis.

Hydro-Reactive metal Fuel (HRF) which has more fuel than general solid propellant reducing oxidizing agent is suitable for ultrahigh speed rocket motor in the water. However, burning rate of HRF has not been studied yet. Through the earlier studies, we established ultrasonics measurement system measuring burning rate of solid propellant as a function of pressure in a single test and verified its reliability. In this paper, we will measure burning rate of HRF using ultrasound with previous development measurement system.

국제해사기구(IMO, international maritime organization)는 2015년부터 배출규제해역(ECA, emission control area)을 운항하는 선박은 황 함유량이 0.1%(m/m) 이하로 강화된 기준을 만족하는 연료를 사용해야 하며, 2020년부터는 모든 선박에 대해 황 함유량이 0.5%(m/m) 이하인 연료를 사용하거나 동등 이상의 성능을 갖는 배출가스 후처리 장치의 설치를 의무화하였다. 이에 따라, 선박에서 배출되는 오염물질을 제어할 수 있는 다양한 기술이 개발되고 있으며, 후처리 관점에서 습식 스크러버(wet scrubber)는 선박의 디젤 엔진에서 배출되는 이산화황(sulfur dioxide)을 저감시키기 위한 가장 적합한 해결책으로 알려져 있다. 습식 스크러버는 해수를 사용하는 개방형 스크러버(open loop scrubber)와 화학세정수를 사용하는 폐쇄형 스크러버(closed loop scrubber)로 구분된다. 습식 스크러버는 오염물질의 효율적인 처리가 가능하지만 유지보수비가 비싸고, 폐수 발생으로 인한 2차 오염발생 및 부식에 매우 취약한 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근에는 스크러버 내부의 부식을 방지하기 위한 내부식성 재질에 관한 연구와 흡수제(absorbent)의 고도화 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한, 하이브리드형 스크러버(hybrid scrubber)는 개방형과 폐쇄형 스크러버의 장점을 결합한 기술로 황산화물의 배출을 규제하는 배출규제해역에서는 폐쇄형 스크러버를 가동하고, 선박이 공해상으로 진입할 경우 개방형 스크러버로 전환함에 따라 황산화물 배출 및 반응 후 세척수의 폐수배출 기준을 동시에 만족할 수 있다.

Sodium borohydride,$NaBH_4$, has many advantages as hydrogen source for portable proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). When PEMFC is used for marine use, $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis using seawater is economical. Therefore, in this study, hydrogen was generated by using seawater instead of distilled water in the process of hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$. Properties of $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction using activated carbon supported Co-B/C catalyst were studied. The yield of hydrogen decreased as $NaBH_4$ concentration and NaOH concentration were increased during $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis using sea water. At higher concentrations of $NaBH_4$ and NaOH, byproducts adhered to the surface of the catalyst after hydrolysis reaction using sea water, reduced hydrogen yield compared to distilled water. The activation energy of $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis is 59.3, 74.4 kJ/mol for distilled water and sea water, respectively. In order to increase the hydrogen generation rate in seawater as high as distilled water, the reaction temperature has to be increased by $80^{\circ}C$ or more.

There are increasing evidences of climate change in the Antarctic and Arctic Oceans, especially elevated temperature due to the continuous burning of the fossil fuels and ultraviolet B(UV-B) flux within the ozone hole. Light-dependent, temperature-sensitive, and fast-growing organisms respond to these physical and biogeochemical changes. Polar marine phytoplankton, which are pioneer endemic species and important carbon contributors in the polar waters, are therefore highly suitable biological indicators of such changes. By virtue of light requirement, the primary producers are exposed to extreme seasonal fluctuations in temperature, photosynthetically active radiation, and UV radiation. Local environmental warming and increased UV-B radiation during ozone depletion may have profound effects on the primary producers that are primary carbon producers in the polar water. Small changes in climate temperature and solar radiation may have profound effects on the activity threshold of the polar phytoplanktion. To demonstrate biological response to the environmental changes, standardized representative natural and biological parameters are needed so that replicate samples (including controls) can be taken over extended periods of time. In this paper, we review general characteristics of polar phytoplankton, their environment, environmental changes in the polar waters, the effects on the environmental changes to the polar phytoplankton, and the importance of the polar phytoplankton to understand the global environmental changes.
