The specific some types of compressors are appropriate for a use in hydrogen gas station. Metal diaphragm type of hydrogen compressor is one of them, which can satisfy the critical requirements of maintaining gas purity and producing high pressure over 850 bar. The objective of this study is to investigate an characteristics of compression through two-way Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) analysis as bulk modulus and initial volume of oil independently varies. Deflection of diaphragm, oil density, gas and oil pressure were analyzed during a certain period of compression process. According to the analysis results, bulk modulus and initial volume remarkably affected deflection of diaphragm, oil density, gas and oil pressure. The highest gas pressure were attained with the highest bulk modulus of $7e^9\;N/m^2$ and the lowest initial oil volume of 80 cc.

In this work, a preliminary design of an inlet guide vane and runner for developing a 2.5 kW hydraulic turbine was conducted by using computational fluid dynamic analysis. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model were used to analyze the fluid flow in the hydraulic turbine. The hexahedral grid system was used to construct computational domain, and the grid dependency test was performed to obtain the optimal grid system. Velocity triangle diagram considering the flow angles of the inlet guide vane and runner was analyzed to obtain a basic geometry of the inlet guide vane and runner. Through modification of the preliminary design, the hydraulic performances of the turbine have improved under overall drop conditions. Especially, the efficiency and power of the turbine increased by 0.95% and 1.45%, respectively, compared to those of the reference model.

Photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) is one of the attractive ways to produce clean and renewable energy. However, solar to hydrogen production via PEC system generally requires high external bias, because of material's innate electronic band potential relative to hydrogen reduction potential and/or charge separation issue. For spontaneous photo-water splitting, here, we design dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and their monolithic tandem cell incorporated with a $BiVO_4$ photoanode. $BiVO_4$ has high conduction band edge potential and suitable band gap (2.4eV) to absorb visible light. To achieve efficient $BiVO_4$ photoanode system, electron and hole mobility should be improved, and we demonstrate a tandem cell in which $BiVO_4/WO_3$ film is connected to cobalt complex based DSSC.

Steam gasification of low rank coals is possible at relatively low temperature and low pressure, and thus shows higher efficiency compared to high rank coals. In this study, the gasification reactivity of four different Indonesian low rank coals (Samhwa, Eco, Roto, Kideco-L) was evaluated in $T=700-800^{\circ}C$. The low rank coals containing $53.8{\pm}3.4$ wt% volatile matter in proximate analysis and $71.6{\pm}1.2$ wt% carbon in ultimate analysis showed comparable gasification reactivity. In addition, $K_2CO_3$ catalyst rapidly accelerated the reaction rate at $700^{\circ}C$, and all of the coals were converted over 90% within 1 hour. The XRD analysis showed no significant difference in carbonization between the coals, and the FT-IR spectrum showed similar functional groups except for differences due to moisture and minerals. TGA results in pyrolysis ($N_2$) and $CO_2$ gasification atmosphere showed very similar behavior up to $800^{\circ}C$ regardless of the coal species, which is consistent with the steam gasification results. This confirms that the indirect evaluation of the reactivity can be made by the above instrumental analyses.

본 연구에서는 실리카 주형을 사용하여 중형기공성 탄소 재료인 CMK-3와 CMK-5를 제조하였으며 이의 수소 저장량을 측정하였다. 비교 물질로는 탄소 재료 중 수소 저장에 관해 가장 많은 연구가 이루어진 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 탄소체에 흡착되는 수소의 양은 탄소 물질의 표면적과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있으며 표면적이 증가될수록 수소 저장량이 증가함을 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 사용된 탄소 재료 중 CMK-5가 가장 높은 수소 저장량을 나타내었으며 CMK-3, MWCNT 순으로 높은 수소 저장량을 보였다. CMK-5의 경우, 팔라듐을 도핑하였을 때 수소 저장량이 매우 크게 증가하였으며 이는 hydrogen spill-over 효과에 의한 것으로 생각되며 이와 같은 현상은 팔라듐이 도핑된 CMK-5의 수소 저장량을 결정하는데 가장 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

수소를 환원제로 사용한 산화철의 유동 환원에서, 환원율에 대한 다양한 공정 변수를 통해 산화철의 하나인 적철광의 환원 거동을 면밀히 관찰하였다. 본 연구를 위해 특별히 설계된 실험실 규모의 유동층 장치에서 목적으로 하는 환원 특성에 대한 가스 속도, 환원 시간 및 온도의 최적 값을 평가 하였다. 최적의 환원율을 나타낸 온도는 750 ℃, 환원 시간은 30분이며 이들을 다음의 시험을 위한 시작점으로 매개 변수 값을 설정 하였다. 가장 높은 관심을 갖는 변수들 중 하나는 가스의 소비 원단 위로, 이는 최적의 조건에서 산화철 1톤을 기준하여 90% 이상의 환원율을 달성하기 위해 요구되는 가스의 양을 말한다. 이 매개 변수는 실험실 수준 장치의 스케일 엎에 있어서 중요한 인자이며, 본 연구를 통해 1,500 Nm³/ton-ore가 산화철이 가장 높은 환원율을 갖기 위한 최적의 가스 소비 원단위 임을 확인하였다.

Study on clean and efficient utilization technology for low rank coal with high moisture content is actively ongoing due to limited reserves of petroleum and of high grade coal and serious climate change caused by fossil fuel usage. In the present study, supercritical water gasification of low rank coal was performed. With increasing reaction temperature, content of combustible gases such as $H_2$ and $CH_4$ in the syngas increased while the $CO_2$ content decreased. As the reaction pressure increased from 210 to 300 bar, the $CO_2$ content in the syngas increased while the hydrocarbon gas content decreased. The $H_2$ and $CH_4$ content in the syngas increased slightly with pressure. With the addition of Pd, Pt, and Ru catalysts, it was possible to improve the production of $H_2$. Moreover, the increase of active metal content in the catalyst increased the $H_2$ productivity. The Ru catalyst shows the best performance for increasing the $H_2$ content in the syngas, while decreasing the $CO_2$ content.

최근 수소 저장물질로서 금속-유기 골격체(metal-organic frameworks; MOFs)가 주목을 받고 있으나 상온에서의 수소 저장성능이 낮은 문제점을 가지고 있어 이를 개선하기 위한 노력들이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 MOF-5 및 제올라이트 Y로부터 합성된 마이크로다공성 카본을 합성하여 상온 및 약 80 bar에서 수소 저장성능을 측정하였으며, 그 결과 이들의 수소 저장성능은 각각 0.77 및 0.59 wt%였다. 이에 두 물질의 수소 저장성능을 향상시키기 위하여 5 wt% 백금을 각각의 물질에 담지시켜 백금이 없는 물질에 비하여 1.21 내지 1.25배의 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편 수소 spillover 현상을 활용하기 위하여 MOF-5 및 Pt/마이크로다공성 카본을 sucrose와 함께 탄화시킨 결과, 최종 하이브리드 물질이 상온 및 약 82 bar에서 0.93 wt%의 수소 저장성능을 보였으며, 이는 백금에 의하여 흡착된 수소 원자가 MOF-5 및 마이크로다공성 카본으로 이동하여 저장되는 것으로 해석된다.

Among the various solar-hydrogen production techniques a combination of a photovoltaic (PV) and an electrolytic cell into one single system, a monolithic PV-electrolytic cell, has been suggested as a promising one in terms of efficiency and stability. In this mini-review, we describe our recent efforts on the fabrication of the monolithic PV-electrolytic cell. Particularly, we focus on the electrocatalysts for water oxidation and its fabrication method suitable for a monolithic PV-electrolytic cell. We also introduce proto-type devices with a dye-sensitized solar cell module and an InGaP/GaAs photoelectrodes.

World has become interested in the development of new dean energy because of oil prices rise and global warming due to carbon dioxide emissions. This study evaluated the safety of the refueling infrastructure for hydrogen, CNG and HCNG(hydrogen blended natural gas) which recently take center stage as a clean fuel. The risk of fuel was evaluated by 3D computational fluid dynamics program for gas dispersion and explosion. Hydrogen is higher than the CNG explosion overpressure and shows rapid spread. On the other hand, CNG and 30% HCNG showed quite similar characteristics. HCNG slightly rises in risk than the CNG, but HCNG is safe compared to hydrogen.
