극초음속 비행체에서는 공기와의 마찰열과 엔진열의 증가로 기체 내부의 열적 부하가 발생한다. 이는 비행체 내부 구조물의 변형을 일으키고 오작동을 발생시킬 수 있다. 흡열연료는 액체 탄화수소 연료로써 흡열반응을 통해 열을 흡수할 수 있는 연료이다. 본 연구에서는 exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene을 모델연료로써 선정하고 제올라이트 촉매의 금속담지를 통하여 흡열특성의 변화를 측정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 통하여 상용촉매보다 우수한 흡열성능을 가지는 촉매를 확보하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 흡열량 향상에 미치는 촉매의 특성을 연구하는 것이다. 이 촉매는 상용촉매를 대체하여 exo-THDCP를 흡열연료로 사용하는 시스템에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 항공유가 극초음속 비행체용 능동냉각시스템의 냉원으로 사용되면서 흡열분해된 후의 연소특성을 확인하는 연구의 일환으로, 흡열분해 모사연료에 대한 층류화염 전파속도를 측정하였다. 흡열분해 모사연료 2종(SF-1, 2)을 제조하고 분젠버너 시험장치를 제작하여 층류화염속도를 측정한 결과 기준연료(RF)와 비교해 보면 전체적으로 높은 당량비에서 화염전파속도가 빠르게 나타나고 있으며, 특히 SF-1이 SF-2 및 RF보다 훨씬 높은 당량비에서 최대 속도를 가짐을 확인하였다.

This study presents a prediction methodology of thermodynamic properties by using RK-PR Equation of State in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions including both sub-critical and super-critical regions, in order to obtain thermophysical properties for hydrocarbon aviation fuels and their products resulting from endothermic reactions. The density and the constant pressure specific heat are predicted in the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K and the pressure from 0.1 to 5.0 MPa, which includes all of the liquid and gas phases and the super-critical region of three representative hydrocarbon fuels, and then compared with those data obtained from the NIST database. Results show that the averaged relative deviations of both predicted density and constant pressure specific heat are below 5% in the specified temperature and pressure conditions, and the major sources of the errors are observed near the saturation line and the critical point of each fuel.

Hypersonic vehicles over Mach 5 need active cooling or thermal management systems to resolve excessive heating problems on their fuselage and engines. Endothermic fuels are widely used these days not only for the energy source but also for a heat sink. Therefore, fuel supply systems of hypersonic vehicles should be mainly composed of adiabatic fuel storage tank, cooling systems for the airframe and engine/nozzle, and fuel supply/injection systems in high pressure, high temperature, and high fuel flow rate conditions. This paper describes a conceptual design process of a hypersonic fuel supply system in order for designing a layout of the system, and identifying components and their specification requirements.

본 연구에서는 흡열연료의 종류와 촉매의 성형 방법에 따른 연료의 분해특성 및 코크 생성에 대하여 분석하였다. 실험에 사용된 연료는 methylcyclohexane (MCH), n-dodecane 그리고 exo-tetrahydrodipentadiene (exo-THDCP)이며, 백금을 담지한 USY720에 압력만을 가하여 제조한 disk 형태, binder와 silica solution을 혼합하여 제조한 pellet 형태의 제올라이트를 촉매로 사용하였다. 성형 방법에 따른 촉매의 특성은 X-ray 회절분석법(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 질소흡탈착등온선 그리고 암모니아 승온탈착분석법을 통해 분석하였으며, 연료가 초임계 상태로 존재할 수 있는 고온고압의 조건($500^{\circ}C$, 50 bar)에서 반응을 진행시킨 후에 생성된 혼합물은 가스 크로마토그래프 질량분석계(GC-MS), 촉매에 생성된 코크는 열중량분석기를 사용하여 분석하였다. 이와 같은 분석을 수행한 결과, 반응 후 생성물의 조성은 연료를 구성하는 화합물의 구조에 따라 크게 차이를 보였다. 또한, 촉매의 성형 방법에 따른 결정성이나 표면 특성의 변화는 미미하였으나, 비교적 큰 변화를 보인 산점과 기공 특성이 생성물과 코크 생성량 및 조성의 변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.

A technological review and analysis were performed on thermal cracking of aviation hydrocarbon fuels that circulate as coolants in regenerative cooling systems of hypersonic flights. Liquid hydrocarbons decompose into low-carbon-number hydrocarbons when they absorb a considerable amount of energy at extremely high temperatures, and these thermal cracking behaviors are represented by heat sink capacity, conversion ratio, reaction products, and coking propensity. These parameters are closely interrelated, and thus, they must be considered for optimum performance in terms of the overall heat absorption in the regenerative cooling system and supersonic combustion in the scramjet engine.

This study presents a prediction methodology of transport properties using the methane-based TRAPP (m-TRAPP) method in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions including both subcritical and supercritical regions, in order to obtain thermo-physical properties for hydrocarbon aviation fuels and their products resulting from endothermic reactions. The viscosity and thermal conductivity are predicted in the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K and the pressure from 0.1 to 5.0 MPa, which includes all of the liquid, gas, and the supercitical regions of representative hydrocarbon fuels. The predicted values are compared with those data obtained from the NIST database. It was demonstrated that the m-TRAPP method can give reasonable predictions of both viscosity and thermal conductivity in the wide range of temperature and pressure conditions studied in this paper. However, there still exists large discrepancy between the current data and established values by NIST, especially for the liquid phase. Compared to the thermal conductivity predictions, the calculated viscosities are in better agreement with the NIST database. In order to consider a wide range of conditions, it is suggested to select an appropriate method through further comparison with another improved prediction methodologies of transport properties.

DME is acronym of dimethyl ether, which is spotlighted as an ideal fuel to produce hydrogen due to its high hydrogen/carbon ratio, high energy density and easiness to carry. In this research, we calculated thermodynamic hydrogen (or syngas) yield from DME autothermal reforming and compared to other fuels. The reforming efficiency was about 80% above $700^{\circ}C$. Lower OCR has higher reforming efficiency but, it requires additional heat supply since the reactions are endothermic. SCR has no significant effect on the reforming efficiency. The optimized condition is $700^{\circ}C$, SCR 1.5, OCR 0.45 without additional heat supply. Comparing to other commercial gaseous fuels (methane and propane), DME has higher selectivity of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ than the others due to the oxygen atom in the molecule. To apply DME autothermal reforming to real system, a proper catalyst is required. Therefore, it is performed the experiment comparing various novel metal catalysts based on CGO. Experiments were performed at calculated condition. The composition of product was measured and reforming efficiency was calculated. The catalysts have similar efficiency at high temperature(${\sim}800^{\circ}C$) but, CGO-Ru has the highest efficiency at low temperature ($600^{\circ}C$).

Steam reforming reaction is a matured technology to get hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels compared with other reforming reactions such as partial oxidation(POX), autothermal reforming(ATR). It is so endothermic that it needs heat source to activate the reaction. Due to the reaction characteristics, heat transfer limitation phenomena generally occur in the steam reformer. As one of new ideas, the effect of discontinuous gas feeding is investigated based on heat transfer characteristics. The new operating method is usually favorable at high GHSV region(i.e. over $10,000h^{-1}$). In order to numerically simulate the physical issues, numerical approach is adopted based on heterogeneous reaction model, two-equation model in energy equation, and other constitutive models in porous media.
