This paper presents an effective method to improve efficiency of switched reluctance motor by optimizing energy conversion loop. A nonlinear analytical model which takes saturation account is developed to calculate inductance and flux-linkage. The flux-linkage curve is studied to calculate the co-energy increment to obtain the optimum exciting current. For a given cross-section, the exciting current at which co-energy increment is maximum was found to be constant while stack length varies. Then the energy conversion loop was optimized by varying the stack length and turns of windings. The constraints during optimization were that motor was excited by the maximum increment co-energy current and the energy in the loop was determined by rated power of motor. Dynamic finite element analysis was used to evaluate the efficiency of various models and the comparison of results shows promising effects of the proposed method. Experiment was also conducted to validate the simulation result.

The characteristics of $NO-NO_2$ conversion and soot oxidation by corona discharge are investigated experimentally. The discharge current decreases with the increase of oxygen concentration and it increases more sharply for anode corona than for cathode corona as discharge voltage increases after corona onset voltage. $NO-NO_2$ conversion increases with the energy density of corona discharge and the addition of $O_2$ in a base $N_2$ gas. Soot oxidation occurs at approximately $480^{\circ}C$ in a mixture of 21% $O_2$, base $N_2$ gas, and enhances as temperature increases. The initiation temperature of soot oxidation advances greatly to about $280^{\circ}C$ with the addition of 300ppm $NO_2$, which is generated from the conversion of NO to $NO_2$ by corona discharge. CO is generated at higher temperature by about $50{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ than $CO_2$ in the process of soot oxidation.

It is imperative to find environment-friendly coatings as an alternative to the currently used hexavalent chromate conversion coatings for the purpose of improving the anti-corrosion properties of aluminum alloys. Hence, in this study, the corrosion properties of a trivalent chromate conversion coating solution are analyzed and measured. Because of the presence of multiple components in trivalent chromate conversion coating solutions, it is difficult to control plating, attributed to their mutual organic relationship. It is of significance to determine the concentrations of the components present in these coatings; hence, qualitative and quantitative analysis is required. The coating solution contained not only an environment-friendly component chromium(III), but also zirconium, fluorine, sulfur, and potassium, in the coating film. These metals are confirmed to produce a film with improved corrosion resistance to form a thin layer. The excellent corrosion resistance for the trivalent chromate solution is attributed to various inorganic and organic additives.

Recently, as people pay attention to the environmental pollution, the emission of diesel engine has become a serious problem. Diesel Oxidation Catalysts(DOC) were experimentally investigated for the purification of pollutants exhaust emission from the diesel engine. In this study, the conversion efficiency of exhaust gas was investigated with various washcoat materials of the DOC. It was formed that CO conversion efficiency depended on temperature, but THC conversion was dominated by temperature and space velocity. Conversion efficiency of THC and CO increased with the addition of ZSM-5 in the washcoat, whereas these conversion efficiency decreased by adding Nd and Ba additives. $V_2O_5$ additive had the thermal stability for high temperature. Thermal durability of the catalyst was improved as increase of $V_2O_5$ additive.

Power conversion cycles (Subcritical Steam, Supercritical Steam, Open Air Brayton, Recuperated Air Brayton, Combined Cycle, Closed Brayton Supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂), and Stirling) are evaluated for land-based nuclear microreactors based on technical maturity, system efficiency, size, cost and maintainability, safety implications, and siting considerations. Based upon these criteria, Air Brayton systems were selected for further evaluation. A brief history of the development and applications of Brayton power systems is given, followed by a description of how these thermal-to-electrical energy conversion systems might be integrated with a nuclear microreactor. Modeling is performed for optimized cycles operating at 3 MW(e) with turbine inlet temperatures of 500 ℃, 650 ℃ and 850 ℃, corresponding to: a) sodium fast, b) molten salt or heat pipe, and c) helium or sodium thermal reactors, coupled with three types of Brayton power conversion units (PCUs): 1) simple open-cycle gas turbine, 2) recuperated open-cycle gas turbine, and 3) recuperated and intercooled open-cycle gas turbine. Aeroderivative turboshaft engines employing the simple Brayton cycle and two industrial gas turbine engines employing recuperated air Brayton cycles are also analyzed. These engines offer mature technology that can facilitate near-term deployment with a modest improvement in efficiency.

Reversible trans-cis isomerization of meta-bipyridylazobenzene coordinated to cobalt was achieved by a combination of photoirradiation with a single UV light source and a Co(II)/Co(III) redox reaction. The trans/cis conversion performance was significantly improved in the meta-form compared with the meta-form ligated to cobalt.

Electrochemical conversion of $CO_2$ and production of $H_2$ were attempted on a three-dimensionally ordered, porous metal organic framework (MOF-74) in which transition metals (Co, Ni, and Zn) were impregnated. A lab-scale proton exchange membrane-based electrolyzer was fabricated and used for the reduction of $CO_2$. Real-time gas chromatography enabled the instantaneous measurement of the amount of carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced. Comprehensive calculations, based on electrochemical measurements and gaseous product analysis, presented a time-dependent selectivity of the produced gases. M-MOF-74 samples with different central metals were successfully obtained because of the simple synthetic process. It was revealed that Co- and Ni-MOF-74 selectively produce hydrogen gas, while Zn-MOF-74 successfully generates a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The results indicated that M-MOF-74 can be used as an electrocatalyst to selectively convert $CO_2$ into useful chemicals.

환경문제와 관련하여 오존층 파괴의 주요 원인으로 알려진 CFC를 열플라즈마를 이용하여 완전하게 분해하였다. CFC113($C_2Cl_3F_3$)을 선정하여 열플라즈마 분해에서의 적절한 공정 조건을 검토하였다. 실험에 앞서, 상압에서 300 K~5000 K범위에서 CFC113, $H_2$, $O_2$간의 열역학적 화학평형조성을 고찰함으로써 CFC113의 분해 생성의 경향을 알 수 있었다. 실험은 상압, 상온에서 CFC113과 $H_2$, $O_2$혼합가스의 주입량, 그리고 냉각관 직경의 변화에 따른 분해생성물을 조사하였고 이를 기체크로마토그래피로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 각각 99.99%이상의 분해율을 보였다. CFC113/$H_2$=1/3에서 $O_2$비가 증가할수록 CO로의 전화율은 감소하였다. CFC113/$O_2$=1/1, 1/1.5, 1/2에서 $H_2$비가 3이상 증가될수록 CO로의 전화율이 증가하였다. 그 이유는 $H_2$첨가가 증가할수록 환원분위기에서 $H_2O$가 생성되고 $CO_2$생성량이 감소하기 때문이다. DC power가 증가하여도 CO로의 전화율 변화는 차이가 없었으며, 총유량이 증가할 경우 CO전화율이 약간 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 냉각관의 직경을 8 mm에서 4 mm로 작게 할 경우 빠른 냉각속도로 인하여 CO로의 전화율이 증가하였다.

${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$와 $SiO_2$에 코발트를 함침시켜 촉매를 제조하고, 고정층 미분반응기에서 CO에 의한 $SO_2$환원반응 특성을 조사하였다. 이때 온도는 $350{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ 영역에서, $SO_2$농도를 1000~10000 ppm, $CO/SO_2$몰비를 1.0~3.0, 공간속도를 $5000{\sim}15000h^{-1}$의 영역에서 사용하였으며 대기압하에서 실행하였다. ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$와 $TiO_2$는 코발트 담체로 우수한 특성을 보였으며, 5 wt % 코발트를 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$에 함침시켜 얻은 촉매로 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 90% 이상의 높은 $SO_2$전환율과 6% 이하의 낮은 COS수율을 얻을 수 있었다. $CO/SO_2$의 최적몰비는 양론비인 2.0으로 나타났으며, 몰비가 3.0으로 증가하면 $SO_2$전환율은 증가하였으나 대부분의 반응생성물이 COS로 나타났다. 실험영역의 $SO_2$농도와 공간속도의 변화는 $SO_2$ 전환율과 반응선택성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 코발트는 활성화된 이후에 $CoS_2$ 상태로 존재하였으며 반응후에도 상변화는 관찰되지 않았다.
