Thermo-chromic Liquid Crystal(TLC) particles were used as temperature sensor for thermal fluid flow. $1K\times1K$ CCD color camera and Xenon Lamp(500W) were used for the visualization of a Hele-Shaw cell. The characteristic between the reflected colors from the TLC and their corresponding temperature shows strong non-linearity. A neural network known as having strong mapping capability for non-linearity is adopted to quantify the temperature field using the image of the flow. Improvements of color-to-temperature mapping was attained by using the local color luminance (Y) and hue (H) information as the inputs for the constructed neural network.

We have fabricated the polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cell where a control of phase separation is very important. The factors to influence the phase separation are mixing ratio of LC and polymer, curing temperature and UV intensity. In this paper, we inspected the change of a phase separation as a function of curing temperature for the mixture of E7 and. NOA65 with different ratios. When the LC concentration is less than polymer such as LC:NOA65 = 40:60wt％, the PDLC cell is influenced strongly by the curing temperature. However, when the LC concentration is much less than polymer such as LC:NOA65 = 80:20wt％, it is influenced slightly by the curing temperature. The reason is because the mixture shows upper critical solution temperature behavior and therefore it is important to know the behavior of phase separation as a function of curing temperature of the mixture.

This paper presents a three-dimensional, transient cold-start polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) model to numerically evaluate the effects of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) design and cell location in a PEFC stack on PEFC cold start behaviors. The cold-start simulations show that the end cell experiences significant heat loss to the sub-freezing ambient and thus finally cold-start failure due to considerable ice filling in the cathode catalyst layer. On the other hand, the middle cells in the stack successfully start from $-30^{\circ}C$ sub-freezing temperature due to rapid cell temperature rise owing to the efficient use of waste heat generated during the cold-start. In addition, the simulation results clearly indicate that the cathode catalyst layer (CL) composition and thickness have an substantial influence on PEFC cold-start behaviors while membrane thickness has limited effect mainly due to inefficient water absorption and transport capability at subzero temperatures.

A low temperature anode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell was developed. The anode-supported tube was fabricated using extrusion process. Then the electrolyte layer and the cathode layer were coated onto the anode tube by slurry dipping process, subsequently. The anode tube and electrolyte were co-fired at $140^{\circ}C$, and the cathode was sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$. The thickness and gas permeability of the electrolyte depended on the number of coating and the slurry concentration. Anode-supported tube was satisfied with SOFC requirements, related to electrical conductivity, pore structure, and gas diffusion limitations. At operating temperature of $800^{\circ}C$, open circuit voltage of the cell with gastight and dense electrolyte layer was 1.1 V and the cell showed a good performance of 450 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

본 연구에서는 유기질막에 비해 안정성이 우수하고 사용수명이 긴 세라믹 막을 이용하여 혐기성 Lactobacillus 균주의 농축에 관해서 연구하였다. Cell harvesting (CH)에 영향을 주는 인자로 막투과 압력, 온도, 선속도 등에 대해 조사하였으며 세라믹 막을 이용하여 농축율 변화에 따른 플럭스와 TMP (transmembrane pressure)의 변화, 일정 VCF(volumetric concentration factor)에서 TMP변화 등의 최적조건에 관해 알아보았다. 그 결과 플럭스는 TMP, 선속도, VCF가 증가함에 따라 투과수량도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 온도가 증가할수록 점도에 의해 초기 플럭스도 증가하지만 시간이 경과함에 따라 막 표면의 겔층의 형성으로 온도의 영향은 미미하였다. 또한 농축비 이하의 일정한 VCF에서 운전할 경우 플럭스가 안정적임을 알 수 있었다. 선속도 5 m/s, 공급액의 온도 $37^{\circ}C$, TMP 1 bar에서 6∼8 h 운전할 경우 PS 406 원액의 생균수는 4.9{\times}10^9$으로 약 8배 농축됨을 알 수 있었다.

This study examines the effects of the ambient temperature (AT), methanol feeding temperature (MFT), methanol concentration (MC) and methanol flow rate (MFR) on the performance and cell temperature (CT) of a 5-stacked direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The AT, MFT, MC, and MFR are varied from $-10^{\circ}C$ to $+40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$ to $90^{\circ}C$, 0.5M to 3.0M and 11.7 mL $min^{-1}$ to 46.8 mL $min^{-1}$, respectively. The performance of the DMFC under various operating conditions is analyzed from the I-V polarization curve, and the methanol crossover is estimated by gas chromatography (GC). The performance of the DMFC improves significantly with increasing AT. The open circuit voltage (OCV) decreases with increasing MC due to the enhanced likelihood of methanol crossover. The cell performance is improved significantly when the MFR is increased from 11.7 mL $min^{-1}$ to 28.08 mL $min^{-1}$. The change in cell performance is marginal with further increases in MFR. The CT increases significantly with increasing AT. The effect of the MFT and MFR is moderate, and the effect of MC is marginal on the CT of the DMFC.

연료전지의 안정성 여부를 장시간에 걸쳐 측정하기 위한 stability test logic을 LabVIEW 기반으로 설계하여 개선된 평가 system을 구성하였다. 일반적으로 사용되어온 logic에서 탈피하여 다량의 데이터 수집을 통한 평균값과 표준편차를 도출함으로서 연료전지 성능 데이터의 안정성 검증과 신뢰도를 대쪽 향상시킬 수 있었다. 가습의 새로운 개념인 water injection system방법을 제시하였으며 양측가습의 경우와 비교할 때 4% 이하의 미미한 성능 차이를 보였다. Water injection system의 경우 가습에 필요한 에너지를 최소화할 수 있으므로 전체적인 에너지효율을 높일 수 있고 system을 소형화할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 영하의 조건에 연료전지를 방치한 후 실험을 수행한 경우 성능이 다소 감소하였으며, 이와 같은 현상은 MEA의 구조 및 제조사에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 연료전지 운전 후 영하의 상태로 내려가기 전에 가스를 사용하여 내부의 물을 제거하는 방법에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 저온방치 전 건조실험에서 전극면적이 $25cm^2$인 경우에 성능저하가 거의 없었다.

The ionic liquid-based sulfonated hydrocarbon composite membranes was prepared for use in anhydrous high temperature-polymer electrolyte fuel cells (HT-PEFCs). Ionic liquid behaves like water in the composite membranes under anhydrous condition. However the composite membranes show a low conductivity and high gas permeability as the content of ionic liquid increases due to its high viscosity and content of ionic liquid, respectively. Hence, in order to enhance the proton conductivity and to reduce the gas permeability of the composite membranes with low content of ionic liquids, the acid containing a common ion of ionic liquid was added to the composite membranes. The characterization of composite membranes was carried out using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and impedance spectroscopy. As a result, the composite membranes containing acid showed higher proton conductivity than those with no acid under the un-humidified condition due to a decrease in viscosity. In addition, the proton conductivity of composite membranes increased with increasing mole concentration of acid.

설탕용액중 benzaldehyde의 의사 2성분계 확산계수를 농도 및 온도를 변화시켜 측정하여 이론식과 비교 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻어 내었다. 1. $20{\sim}40^{\circ}C$의 일정한 온도에서 설탕용액중 benzaldehyde의 확산계수는 점도의 -0.82승에 비례하며 이것은 매질이나 확산되는 물질에 따라 차이가 생긴다. 2. 일정한 온도에서 적어도 두 개 이상의 농도에서 확산계수를 알 수 있다면 Tang-Himmelblau식을 이용하여 Wilke-Chang식 보다 정확하게 확산계수를 예측할 수 있으며 설탕용액에서 ${\varepsilon}=0.2$라 놓을수 있고, 설탕의 회합인자, ${\varphi}_s=2$라 놓을수 있다. 또 Bird 등에 의한 effective diffusivity는 고점도 범위에서는 사용할 수 없다. 3. 염화칼륨을 이용하여 격막 cell 방법으로 cell 상수를 결정할 때 수용액중 염화캄륨의 확산계수가 농도의 영향을 적게 받는 농도범위, 즉 0.05N 이상에서 측정하는 것이 좋으며 온도의 영향은 크지 않으나 상온 부근의 저온에서 측정하는 것이 좋다.

Cracking ammonia inside solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack is a compact and simple way. To prevent sharp temperature fluctuation and increase cell efficiency, the decomposition reaction should be spread on whole cell area. This leading to a question that, how does anode thickness affect the conversion rate of ammonia and the cell voltage? Since the 0D model of SOFC is useful for system level simulation, how accurate is it to use equilibrium solver for internal ammonia cracking reaction? The 1D model of ammonia fed SOFC was used to simulate the diffusion and reaction of ammonia inside the anode electrode, then the partial pressure of hydrogen and steam at triple phase boundary was used for cell voltage calculation. The result shows that, the ammonia conversion rate increases and reaches saturated value as anode thickness increase, and the saturated thickness is bigger for lower operating temperature. The similar cell voltage between 1D and 0D models can be reached with NH₃ conversion rate above 90%. The 0D model and 1D model of SOFC showed similar conversion rate at temperature over 750℃.
