This paper describes experimental study on GM-type pulse tube refrigerator (PTR). In a PTR, the pulse tube is only filled with working gas and there exists secondary flow due to a large temperature difference between cold-end and warm-end. The stability of secondary flow is affected by orientation of cold-head and thus, the cooling performance is deteriorated by gas mixing due to secondary flow. In this study, a single stage GM-type pulse tube refrigerator is fabricated and tested. The cooing performance of the fabricated PTR is measured as varying cold-head orientation angle and the results are used as reference data. Then, we divided interior space of pulse tube into three segments, and fixed the various size of screen mesh at interface of each segment to suppress the performance degradation due to secondary flow. For various configuration of pulse tube, no-load test and heat load test are carried out with the fixed experimental condition of charging pressure, operating frequency and orifice valve turns. From experimental results, the fine screen mesh shows the effective suppression of performance degradation for the large orientation angle, but the use of screen mesh cause the loss of cooling capacity rather than the case of no insertion into pulse tube. It should be compromised whether the use of screen mesh in consideration of the installation limitation of a GM-type pulse tube refrigerator.

국내 외에서 대기 오염에 대한 관심은 높은 편이며, 자동차 및 연료 연구자들은 깨끗한 (친환경 대체연료) 연료와 연료 품질에 맞춘 새로운 엔진 설계의 구성, 혁신적인 후처리 시스템 등의 접근을 통하여 차량의 배기가스 배출을 줄이려고 노력하고 있다. 이러한 연구는 다음과 같은 다양한 주요 이슈를 가져오게 된다. PM 배출량이 디젤과 가솔린 차량에 대해 규제해야 하는지 여부와 가솔린 및 LPG 차량이 PM 배출가스 규제에서 무시될 수 있는지 여부이다. 마지막으로 온실 가스 (C$CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$) 규제가 자동차 배출 규제를 포함하여 논의 것 등이다. 자동차의 온실 가스 및 배출가스(PM)는 환경오염, 건강 악영향 등의 원인으로 많은 문제점을 일으키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 자동차 저온 시동성 및 배출가스에 대해 LPG 연료의 영향을 논의하였다. 또한 본 논문은 시험 온도에 대한 배출가스 특성을 평가하였다. 이때의 시험온도는 시험모드 상의 온도와 국내 겨울철 최저온도를 기준으로 나누어서 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 시동성 및 배출가스, 온실가스 배출의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다.

액체 상태의 수소는 기체 상태의 수소에 비해 수송이 용이하고 에너지 밀도가 높으며 폭발 위험성이 낮다. 하지만 수소 액화 공정은 냉각 사이클에 많은 양의 에너지가 소모된다. 반면에 액화천연가스(LNG; Liquefied Natural Gas)는 재기화 과정에서 다량의 냉열이 버려진다. 따라서 LNG 냉열을 회수하여 수소 냉각에 활용한다면 공정 효율을 높일 수 있다. 또한, 천연가스 개질을 통한 수소 생산은 가장 경제성 있는 방법으로 평가받고 있으며, 이러한 측면에서 LNG를 수소 생산의 원료로 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 LNG를 원료 및 냉열원으로 사용하여 수소를 생산 및 액화시키는 공정을 개발하고 열역학적 관점에서 공정을 평가하였다. 공정 개발을 위해 기존의 탄화 수소 혼합 냉매와 헬륨-네온 냉매를 이용한 수소 액화 공정을 비교 공정으로 선정하였다. 이후 LNG를 원료 및 수소 예냉의 냉열원으로 사용하는 새로운 공정을 설계하여 에너지 소모량 및 엑서지 효율 측면에서 기존 공정과 비교, 분석하였다. 제안된 공정은 기존 공정 대비 약 17.9%의 에너지 절감 및 11.2%의 엑서지 효율이 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

To meet stringent LEV and ULEV emission standards, a considerable amount of development work was necessary to ensure suitable efficiency and durability of catalyst systems. The main challenge is to cut off the engine cold-start emissions. It is known that up to 80% of the total hydrocarbons(THC) are exhausted within the first five minutes in case of US FTP 75 cycle. Close-Coupled Catalyst(CCC) provides fast light-off temperature by utilizing the energy in the exhaust gas. However, if some malfunction occurred at engine operation and the catalyst temperature exceeds 1050$\^{C}$, the catalytic converter is deactivated and shows the poor conversion efficiency. This paper presents effEcts of engine operating conditions on catalytic converter temperature in a SI engine, which are the indications of catalytic deactivation. Exhaust gas temperature and catalyst temperature were measured as a function of air/fuel ratio, ignition timing and misfire rates. Additionally, light-off time was measured to investigate the effect of operating conditions. It was found that ignition retard and misfire can result in the deactivation of the catalytic converter, which eventually leads the drastic thermal aging of the converter. Significant reduction in light-off time can be achieved with proper control of ignition retard and misfire, which can reduce cold-start HC emissions as well.

LNG는 극저온액체로 저장탱크의 열유입으로 인하여 지속적으로 BOG가 발생하고 있으며, 이의 효과적인 방법의 재액화가 요구되고 있다. 이 BOG의 재액화에는 공급되는 저압 펌프 후의 LNG의 냉열을 이용하는 데, 현재의 공정은 BOG 단위 발생량에 대하여 10배 이상의 LNG 흐름이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 NGL분리액화와 2차 고압펌프 후의 LNG 냉열을 이용하는 공정을 새롭게 고안하였으며, 이를 분석한 결과 LNG 소요유량이 3~4배에 불과한 매우 효과적인 재액화 시스템이 되었다. 본 고안에 의하면 하절기에도 원활한 BOG 재액화가 가능하므로, LNG기지의 안전성 향상과 공급 의 효율을 높일 수 있는 매우 효과적인 공정으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents thermodynamic performance analysis of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) using low temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy and using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as heat sink to recover the cryogenic energy of LNG. LNG is able to condense the working fluid at a very low condensing temperature in a heat exchanger, which leads to an increased power output. Based on the mathematical model, a parametric analysis is conducted to examine the effects of eight different working fluids, the turbine inlet pressure and the condensation temperature on the system performance. The results indicate that the thermodynamic performance of ORC such as net work production or thermal efficiency can be significantly improved by the LNG cold energy.

A clinical study was designed to evaluate myocardial metabolism during continuous cold blood cardioplegia [Group A, n=10] in comparison with continuous warm blood cardioplegia [Group B, n=10], in a prospective randomized manner. Myocardial metabolism was assessed in two ways: either by collecting blood from coronary sinus before and after cardiopulmonary bypass or by collecting blood from cardioplegic affluent and effluent simultaneously at the beginning and at the end of cardioplegia. The former samples were assayed for gas analysis, lactic acid and cardiac enzyme [CK, LDH, SGOT] and the latter for gas analysis and lactic acid as a maker of anaerobic metabolism. The results were as follows. 1] Myocardial metabolism was shown to be continued in the state of cardioplegia at lower temperature as evidenced by high oxygen extraction of cardioplegic solution in Group A. 2] Anaerobic metabolism occurring at lower temperature in spite of continuous cold blood cardioplegia can be significantly reduced by continuous perfusion of normothermic blood cardioplegics as evidenced by significant reduction of lactate production in Group B [p〈0.05]. 3] Better myocardial protection can be achieved by employing continuous warm blood cardioplegia as evidenced by less cardiac enzyme release in Group B after cardiopulmonary bypass.

In this paper, a new technology to obtain electronic grade, highly pure carbon dioxide by using membrane and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold heat assisted cryogenic distillation has been proposed. PRO/II with PROVISION release 2023.1 from AVEVA company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function to predict pure component vapor pressure versus temperature more accurately was selected for the modeling of the membrane and cryogenic distillation process. Advantage of using membrane separation instead of selecting absorber-stripper configuration for the concentration of carbon dioxide was the reduction of carbon dioxide capture cost.

Recently, the technologies to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have attracted significant attention. In this paper, thermodynamic performance analysis of combined cycles consisting of ammonia Rankine cycle (AWR) and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with LNG Rankine cycle to recover low-grade heat source and the cold energy of LNG. The mathematical models are developed and the effects of the important system parameters such as turbine inlet pressure, ammonia mass fraction, working fluid on the system performance are systematically investigated. The results show that the thermal efficiency of AWR-LNG cycle is higher but the total power production of ORC-LNG cycle is higher.

As a promising catalyst reducing cold start emissions of automobiles, a photocatalyst systems has been studied. Since the photocatalyst is only activated by UV wavelength light, it needs no heat energy like a conventional TWC, therefore no light-off time. However, as a cold temperature catalyst to treat cold start emissions of a vehicle, previous studies on characteristic of photocatalyst have room for improvement in terms of performance and durability investigated from the viewpoints of performance and durability improvement. Eleven different coating samples were prepared with the combination of six kinds of additives and two kinds of photocatalyst materials. Then these samples were aged with a hydrothermal aging process. The performance of these samples was measured on a model gas apparatus with simulated exhaust gases. The durability was also analyzed with X-ray diffraction meter.
