현존하는 미분탄 연소로의 난류 유동장 및 반응을 해석하는 3차원 모델을 제안하였다. 미분탄 불균일 반응, 휘발, 복사 및 서로 다른 방향에서 유입되는 1차 공기와 2차 공기의 혼합, 열 손실 등의 연소로 내에서 일어날 수 있는 제반 현상을 종합적으로 고려하여 비선형 미분 방정식을 세우고 유한 미분법을 적용하여 연소 현상을 묘사하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 모델을 이용하여 연소로 내에서의 미분탄 연소 거동을 예측하고 연소 효율에 중요한 영향을 미치는 1차 공기와 2차 공기의 주입 속도와 석탄입자크기가 연소 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다.

Generally, there are two methods in researching internal combustion engines. One is by experimental research and the other is by computer simulation. The experimental research has many merits that researchers can get data for engine performance, but it has also some demerit of cost and time. If there is an engine simulation code with accuracy for the solution, it is very convenient to predict the performance and optimum design value of the engine. In this study, engine performance simulation program has been improved to predict the transient variation of properties of gas in cylinder, intake and exhaust manifolds, There total program code was developed to calculate the pressure, flame factor and turbulent intensity, As a result of present study, the authors could predicted the in-cylinder pressure, intake manifold pressure and the engine performance in various conditions. The authors also could easily prepare the tool if optimum design of manifold and in-cylinder geometry.

Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is an efficient and environment-friendly power generation system which is capable of burning low-ranked coals and other renewable resources such as biofuels, petcokes and residues. In this study some process modeling on a conceptual entrained flow gasifier was conducted using the ASPEN Plus process simulator. This model is composed of three major steps; initial coal pyrolysis, combustion of volatile components, and gasification of char particles. One of the purposes of this study is to develop an effective and versatile simulation model applicable to numerous configurations of coal gasification systems. Our model does not depend on the hypothesis of chemical equilibrium as it can trace the exact reaction kinetics and incorporate the residence time calculation of solid particles in the reactors. Comparisons with previously reported models and experimental results also showed that the predictions by our model were pretty reasonable in estimating the products and the conditions of gasification processes. Verification of the accuracy of our model was mainly based upon how closely it predicts the syngas composition in the gasifier outlet. Lastly the effects of change oxygen are studied by sensitivity analysis using the developed model.

Upon direct/indirect exposure to flame or heat, composite structures may burn or thermally buckle. This issue becomes more important in the natural fiber-based composite structures with higher flammability and lower mechanical properties. The main goal of the present study was to obtain an optimal eco-friendly composite system with low flammability and high thermal buckling resistance. The studied composite consisted of polypropylene (PP) and short abaca fiber (AF) with eggshell powder (ESP) and halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs) additives. An optimal base composite, consisting of 30 wt.% AF and 70 wt.% PP, abbreviated as OAP, was initially introduced based on burning rate (BR) and the Young's modulus determined by horizontal burning test (HBT) and tensile test, respectively. The effects of adding ESP to the base composite were then investigated with the same experimental tests. The results indicated that though the BR significantly decreased with the increase of ESP content up to 6 wt.%, it had a very destructive influence on the stiffness of the composite. To compensate for the damaging effect of ESP, small amount of HNT was used. The performance of OAP composite with 6 wt.% ESP and 3 wt.% HNT (OAPEH) was explored by conducting HBT, cone calorimeter test (CCT) and tensile test. The experimental results indicated a 9~23 % reduction in almost all flammability parameters such as heat release rate (HRR), total heat released (THR), maximum average rate of heat emission (MARHE), total smoke released (TSR), total smoke production (TSP), and mass loss (ML) during combustion. Furthermore, the combination of 6 wt.% ESP and 3 wt.% HNT reduced the stiffness of OAP to an insignificant amount by maximum 3%. Moreover, the char residue analysis revealed the distinct differences in the formation of char between AF/PP and AF/PP/ESP/HNT composites. Afterward, dilatometry test was carried out to examine the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of OAP and OAPEH samples. The obtained results showed that the CTE of OAPEH composite was about 18% less than that of OAP. Finally, a theoretical model was used based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) to predict the critical bucking temperatures of the OAP and OAPEH composite plates. It was shown that in the absence of mechanical load, the critical buckling temperatures of OAPEH composite plates were higher than those of OAP composites, such that the difference between the buckling temperatures increased with the increase of thickness. On the contrary, the positive effect of CTE reduction on the buckling temperature decreased by raising the axial compressive mechanical load on the composite plates which can be assigned to the reduction of stiffness after the incorporation of ESP. The results of present study generally stated that a suitable combination of AF, PP, ESP, and HNT can result in a relatively optimal and environmentally friendly composite with proper flame and thermal buckling resistance with no significant decline in the stiffness.

석탄에 포함되어 있는 회분은 환경오염을 유발시킬 수 있으며, 고온에서 운전되는 발전 설비에 융착되어 열전달 효율을 저하시키는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 알칼리나 산, 또는 유기 용매를 이용하여 석탄 내의 회분을 제거하기 위한 연구와 함께 무회분 석탄을 이용한 석탄화력 발전 및 석탄가스화 복합발전에 대한 타당성 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 200 ppm급 무회분 석탄을 석탄가스화 발전에 이용하기 위해서 필요한 가스화기 운전조건을 ASPEN $Plus^{(R)}$ 공정모사의 민감도 해석을 바탕으로 도출하였다. 특히 석탄가스화 공정은 열분해, 휘발분 연소, 촤 가스화 공정으로 나누어 해석을 진행하였으며, 1.5 톤일급 비용융(non-slagging) 가스화기의 크기 및 운전 조건을 반영하여 모델링 하였다.
