Performances of power generation engine were investigated with syngas from RPF. A stoker type, multi-staged pyrolysis-gasification system, was employed for syngas generation and the syngas was refined with the sequential cleaning processes composed of a gas cooler, a bag filter and a wet scrubber. 20 kWe commercial syngas power generation engine was adopted to burn the cleaned syngas which is mainly composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane. The performance of the engine was tested with various syngas compositions and the results were compared to LNG case. Electric power output, exhaust gas temperature, and emission characteristics were measured, and the efficiency of engine generation was investigated as a function of load of power generation.

Diamond film was deposited on Mo substrate at atmospheric pressure using a combustion flame apparatus with the addition of $H_2$. With the substrate temperature, the nucleation density of the substrate was increased. At temperatures above $1000^{\circ}C$, some of diamond was partly converted into graphite and etched by hydrogen atoms. With an increase of the $C_2H_2/O_2$ ratio, the nucleation density was increased. But crystals were cauliflower-shaped and a large number of amorphous carbon were deposited. With the addition of $H_2$, the nucleation density of diamond was increased by the improvement of surface activity. Diamond film of high crystallinity was deposited by etching amorphous carbon. With an increase of deposition time, the thickness of diamond film was increased.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) powder was successfully synthesized at low temperature via carbothermal reduction and nitridation (CRN) assisted by microwave heating. The synthesis processes of AlN powder were investigated with X-ray diffraction, FE-SEM, FT-IR and TGA/DSC. Aluminum nitrate was used as an oxidizer and aluminum source, urea as fuel, and glucose as carbon source. These starting materials were mixed with D.I water and reacted in a flask at $100^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. After the reaction was finished, black foamy intermediate product was formed, which was considered to be an amorphous $Al_2O_3$ particles through intermediate product obtained by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) at the results of X-ray diffraction patterns and FT-IR. This intermediate product was nitridated at temperatures of $1300^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ atmosphere by a microwave heating furnace and then decarbonated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in air. It should be noticed from FE-SEM images that as nitridated particles, identified as AlN from X-ray diffraction patterns, are covered with carbon residues. After decarbonating the nitridated powders, the spherical pure AlN powders were obtained without alumina and their particle sizes were dependent on the nitridating temperature with high temperature of $1400^{\circ}C$ giving large particles of around 70~100 nm.

In this paper, we analyzed the properties change of electric wire when the thermal stress was applied to NFR-8 and FR-PVC 600[V] wire. Messurement is made of the attenuation of a light beam by smoke accumulating with in a closed chamber due to nonflaming pyrolytic decomposition and flaming combustion. Results are expressed in terms of specific optical density which is derived from a geometrical factor and the measured optical density a measurement characteristic of the concentration of smoke. Referenced documents were ASTM E662 standard test method for specific Ds genalated by solid materials. The furnace control system shall maintain the required irradiance level under steady-state condition with the chamber door closed of $2.5{\pm}0.04[w/cm^{2}]$ for 20 min. According to the results of the smoke density analysis of NFR-8 and FR-PVC the highest decomposition flaming smoke density range of NFR-8 and FR-PVC were 25.2 to 37.5 and 51.1 respectively. Nonflaming smoke density range of NFR-8 and FR-PVC were 100.4 to 112.2 and 126.5 to 398.8. The amount of carbon monoxide generated was found to be much higher in FR-PVC decomposition than in NFR-8 due to incomplete combustion of FR-PVC which has high content of carbon in compound.

Various coals from many countries around the world have been used for pulverized coal boiler in power plants in Korea. In this study, the gasification reactivities of various coal chars with $CO_2$ were investigated. Carbon conversion was measured using a real time gas analyzer with NDIR CO/$CO_2$ sensor. In a lab scale furnace, each coal sample was devolatilized at $950^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere and became coal char and then further heated up to reach to a desired temperature. Each char was then gasified with $CO_2$ under isothermal conditions. The reactivities of coal chars were investigated at different temperatures. The shrinking core model (SCM) and volume reaction model(VRM) were used to interpret the experiment data. It was found that the SCM and VRM could describe well the experimental results within the carbon conversion of 0-0.98. The gasification rates for various coals were very different. The gasification rate for any coal increased as the volatile matter content increased.

A rapid method for the measurement of the absolute activity of carbon-14 in cotyledons and root of etiolated pea seedlings has been developed. Fresh tissue was frozen in liquid air, ground and suspended in gel phosphor and subjected to measurement for its radioactivity by liquid scintillation counter. Apparent activity of the suspended tissue sample calculated by counting efficiency value obtained by internal standardisation, was found to be related to absolute activity of the tissue, determined by flask combustion technique, by a constant factor. Once this factor is determined experimentally, analysis of C-14 lebelled tissue involves only fairly simple suspension counting by liquid scintillation counter. Present method appears to be applicable to other tissues tagged with C-14.

In this paper, efficiency estimation of toxicity fee fire resistance cable experiments was measured smoke density of toxicity free fire resistance polyolefin insulation material and electric field dependence of tree shape in low density polyethylene (LDPE). One of the most serious causes of failure in high-voltage cables, can be an electrical discharge across an internal gab or void in the insulating material. Treeing due to partial discharge is one of the main causes of breakdown in the insulating materials and reduction of the insulation life. Therefore the necessity for establishing a method to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict the breakdown of insulation and research of the fire resistance character has become important. First, we have studied on electric field dependence of tree shape in LDPE about treeing phenomena occurring on the high electrical field. Second, the measurement method is the attenuation quantity of irradiation by smoke accumulating with in a closed chamber due to non-flaming heat decomposition and flaming combustion. A main cause of fire-growth and generating toxic gas when, it bums, should be dealt with great care in life. safety design. The fire gases were occurred carbon monoxide and decomposition than in polyolefin due to incomplete combustion of PVC, which has high content of carbon in chemical compound.

In this study, $CO_2$ absorption properties at high pressure condition that can apply pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture were investigated for physical sorbent such as PEG, DMSO, and Sulfone. The $CO_2$ Solubility, regeneration, and initial absorption rate with temperature and pressure were measured using batch type stirred cell contactor. The PEG showed the highest $CO_2$ solubility and initial absorption rate. It can be found that all the physical sorbents used in this experiments were almost completely regenerated at various temperature and pressure.

Solid fuel reacts with an oxidizer during combustion of a propellant to increase performance. Representative solid fuels are aluminum, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) and octahydro-1, 3,5,7-tetra nitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocin (HMX). During combustion, these compounds generate white smoke by reacting with moisture and produce materials that are harmful to the environment, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane gas. This study prepared a high-nitrogen-containing energetic material, hydrazinium 5-aminotetrazolate (HAT), which could be applied as a solid fuel. The compound was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and a thermal analysis was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Also, the specific impulses and volumes of detonation gases were calculated using the EXPLO5 program.
