For polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) production, several microorganisms were isolated from sewage sludge. One of them, GB-77 strain, was chosen from its PHB/HV copolymer production on only fructose without cosubstrate. The isolated strain GB-77 was identified as the genus Alcaligenes. Optimal temperature and pH for cell growth were 36C and 6.8. Optimal medium composition was 10 g/l of fructose and 5 g/l of polypeptone, 1 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$M Na$^{2}$HP0$^{4}$, 1.3 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$M KH$^{2}$PO$^{4}$. To investigate the optimal condition for polyhydroxyalkanoic acid production two-stage culture technique was used; first stage for cell growth and second stage for PHA production on unbalanced growth conditions. Optimal conditions for high PHA production were C/N ratio 50, temperature 36$\circ$C and pH 6.8. To overcome fructose inhibition on cell growth, intermittent feeding fed-batch culture technique was used. Total cell concentration was 17.4 g/l with 9.1 g/l of PHA. The purified PHA was identified PHB/HV copolymer by NMR analysis.

Feul-Cell system consists of fuel reformer, stack and energy translator. Among these parts, stack is a core part which produces electricity directly. In order to set a stack module, fabrication of appropriate stack, design of water flow path in stack and control of coolant are needed. Especially, oater or air is used as a coolant to dissipate heat. The different temperature of each electric cell after cooling affects the performance of the stack. Therefore, it is necessary that the relationship between coolant hearing rate, width of stack, properties of stack, and the shape of water flow path must be understood. For the optimal design, the computational simulation by CFD-ACE has been conducted and the resulting database has been constructed.

Polybenzimidazole (PBI), an engineering polymer with well-known excellent thermal, chemical and mechanical stabilities has been recognized as an alternative to high temperature polymer electrolyte membranes (HT-PEMs). This review focuses on recent advances made on the development of PBI-based HT-PEMs for fuel cell applications. PBI-based membranes discussed were prepared by various strategies such as structural modification, cross-linking, blending and organic-inorganic composites. In addition, intriguing properties of the PBI-based membranes as well as their fuel cell performances were highligted.

As a part of the ongoing effort towards commercial application of high-temperature fuel cell power generation systems, we have recently built a pilot-scale molten carbonate fuel cell power plant and tested it. The stack test system is composed of diverse peripheral units such as reformer, pre-heater, water purifier, electrical loader, gas supplier, and recycling systems. The stack itself was made of 40cells of $6000cm^2$ area each. The stack showed an output higher than 25kW power and a reliable performance at atmospheric operation. A pressurized performance was also tested, and it turned out the cell performance increased though a few cells have shown a symptom of gas crossover. The pressurized operation characteristics could be analyzed with numerical computation results of a stack model.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of various parameters, such as temperature, mean current density and voltage on the performance of phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) by numerical analysis. Two types of flow passages, which are Z-parallel type and Z-counter type, are evaluated to obtain the best current density and temperature distribution. Parametric studies and sensitivity analysis of the PAFC system's operation in single cell are accomplished. A steady state simulation of the entire system is developed using nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The finite difference method and trial and error procedures are used to obtain a solution.

To investigate the characteristics of water droplet on the gas diffusion layer from both upper-view and side-view of flow channel, a rig test apparatus was designed and fabricated with L-shape acryl plate in a $1mm{\times}1mm$ micro-channel. This experimental device is used to simulate the single droplet growth and its transport process under fuel cell operating condition. As a first step, we investigated the growth and transport of single water droplet with working temperature and air flow velocity. The contact angle and its hysteresis of water droplet at departing moment are measured and analyzed. It is expected that this study can provide the basic understanding of liquid water droplet behavior in gas flow channel and GDL interface during the PEM fuel cell operation.

최근 탄화수소를 에너지원으로 사용하는 엔진을 대체할 동력원으로 연료 전지가 주목을 받게 되면서 수소 생산 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 수소를 생산하는 다양한 방법 중에 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템(SOEC)은 수소를 생산하기 위한 기초적이고, 친환경적인 방법이다. 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템은 고온, 고압 조건에서 운전이 가능하여 낮은 에너지 수요와 높은 열효율을 지니기 때문에 실험적인 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 실험적인 연구 성과에 비해 수치모델 연구는 비교적 부진하다. 이에 대한 원인으로 기존의 수치모델이 온도와 압력의 변화에 따른 성능 예측의 유효성이 상당히 낮기 때문으로 판단하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템의 셀 성능 예측의 유효성을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시하기 위해서 Patterened Ni-YSZ cermet electrode(40 wt%, Ni-60 wt% YSZ)/8-YSZ (TOSOH, TZ8Y)/LSM (La_0.9Sr_0.1MnO₃)로 구성된 상용 막-극 접합체의 기존의 연구 데이터를 활용하였다. 온도에 따른 전기화학적 특성의 영향을 수치적으로 분석한 결과, 유효성에 가장 큰 편차를 가져오는 변수들은 charge transfer coefficient(CTC), exchange current density, diffusion coefficient, electrical conductivity인 것으로 나타났다. 온도와 압력에 따른 해당 변수들의 영향 및 경향성을 분석하여 과전압 모델을 제시하였다. 다양한 모델의 적용과 타당성을 확보하기 위해서 교차-검증이 도입되었다. 그 결과, 체계화된 유효성 검증 과정에 기초한 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템의 수치 모델은 뛰어난 성능의 예측 결과를 보여주었다.

공개소스 전산유체 해석 라이브러리인 OpenFOAM을 이용하여 음극 지지체형 고체산화물 연료전지의 온도균일성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 3가지 유형의 유동흐름(병행류, 대향류, 직교류)에 대하여 수치해석이 이루어졌다. 다공성 물질내에서의 기체의 흐름은 유효확산계수를 이용하여 계산하였고 분리판의 리브 영향도 고려하였다. 전기화학반응의 계산을 위하여 실험식으로부터 얻은 집중내부저항 모델이 사용되었다. 수치해석 결과 대향류가 가장 균일한 온도분포를 나타내었다.

Now the world will regulate the CO2 emission due to environmental issues. For an alternative plan photovoltaic system is watched. So, photovoltaic system is trend of big city and it is mandatory for renovation of construction. Oil & gas filling station existed in city is suitable to found the photovoltaic system. But the general photovoltaic system in oil & gas filling station is difficult to found because it is classified into hazardous area. This paper evaluates intrinsic safety evaluation of solar cell for making basic data to found for the photovoltaic system on hazardous area. The intrinsic safety characteristic is evaluated by short-circuit ignition test using IEC type spark ignition test apparatus and temperature rising test. The result of short-circuit ignition test, propane-air mixture gas is exploded on condition that 4 solar cells(9[V], 90[mA]) are connected serially under insolation 800[W/$m^2$]. So, if a larger solar module will be used at oil & gas filling station than we were tested, it needs explosion proof. As the result of rising temperature test, the temperature rising due to short circuit is not so much, but when the temperature rises due to radiant heat, it demands careful consideration for environmental influence.
