본 연구는 암모니아/물 혼합냉매를 이용한 압축/흡수식하이브리드 히트펌프 개발에 관한 연구이다. 히트펌프 사이클은 증기압축식과흡수식을 혼합한 개념으로 이단압축기, 흡수기, 재생기, 과열냉각기, 용액열교환기(SHX), 용액펌프, 정류기, 기액분리기 등으로 구성되어 있다. 압축/흡수식 히트펌프는 상변화 열교환과정에서 높은 온도구배를 이용하여 $90^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온을 제조하기 위한 목적으로 고안되었다. 특히 흡수기에서의 응축과정은 비열변화로 인하여 온도변화에 비선형성이 뚜렷한데, 시스템 성능 최적화를 위하여는 흡수기의 설계가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다수의 판형열교환기로 흡수기를 구성하였는데 열교환기의 용량, 형태, 배치에 따른 성능특성을 실험적으로 관찰하였다.

The earth-abundant element-based Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄ (CZTSSe) thin film solar cells (TFSCs) have attracted greater attention in the photovoltaic (PV) community due to their rapid development in device power conversion efficiency (PCE) >13%. In the present work, we demonstrated the fine-tuning of the bandgap in the CZTSSe TFSCs by altering the sulfur (S) to the selenium (Se) chalcogenide ratio. To achieve this, the CZTSSe absorber layers are fabricated with different S/(S+Se) ratios from 0.02 to 0.08 of their weight percentage. Further compositional, morphological, and optoelectronic properties are studied using various characterization techniques. It is observed that the change in the S/(S+Se) ratios has minimal impact on the overall Cu/(Zn+Sn) composition ratio. In contrast, the S and Se content within the CZTSSe absorber layer gets altered with a change in the S/(S+Se) ratio. It also influences the overall absorber quality and gets worse at higher S/(S+Se). Furthermore, the device performance evaluated for similar CZTSSe TFSCs showed a linear increase and decrease in the open circuit voltage (V_oc) and short circuit current density (J_sc) of the device with an increasing S/(S+Se) ratio. The external quantum efficiency (EQE) measured also exhibited a linear blue shift in absorption edge, increasing the bandgap from 1.056 eV to 1.228 eV, respectively.

In this study, an electromagnetic dynamic vibration suppressor and energy harvester is designed and studied. In this system, a gear mechanism is used to convert the linear motion to continuous rotary motion. Governing equations of motion for the system are derived and validated using the experimental results. Effects of changing the main parameters of the presented system, such as mass ratio, stiffness ratio and gear ratio on the electro-mechanical behavior of system are investigated. Moreover, using so-called Weighted Cost Function, the optimum parameters of the system are obtained. Finally, it is shown that the presented electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber not only can reduce the undesired vibration of the main system but also it can harvest acceptable electrical energy.

본 연구에서는 투과성 판을 통과하면서 발생하는 에너지 손실효과를 나타내는 비선형 항력 항을 등가 선형화기법으로 선형화시킨 준선형 모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델을 경계요소법(Boundary Element Method)으로 풀어 2차원 조파수조의 투과성 소파장치를 개발에 활용하였다. 투과성 판에서의 항력계수는 수리 모형실험 결과와 비교를 통해 새롭게 구하였다. 공극률 0.1, 잠긴 깊이 d/h = 0.1, 경사각도 $10^{\circ}{\leq}{\theta}{\leq}20^{\circ}$를 갖는 투과성 소파장치가 전반적으로 우수한 소파성능을 보였다. 개발된 준선형 수치모델은 앞으로 다양한 형태의 투과성 소파장치의 최적 설계에 활용될 것이다.

장애물제거기는 선로 내 장애물에 의한 충돌사고 발생 시 장애물을 선로 밖으로 밀어내거나 에너지흡수부재를 통해 충돌에너지를 흡수하여 열차 탈선을 방지하고 충돌사고에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 장치이다. 본 연구에서는 인장형 에너지흡수부재와 4절 링크를 이용하여 장애물제거기의 작동 메커니즘을 구성하여 장애물제거기를 설계하였다. 또한 EN 15227에서 요구하는 정적강도 및 에너지흡수조건을 확인하기 위한 성능검증시험 방법을 고안한 뒤 유한요소해석 및 UTM (Universal Test Machine)을 이용한 성능검증시험을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 EN 15227의 요구조건을 만족하는 장애물제거기를 개발하였으며, 제안된 장애물제거기의 설계 및 검증 절차에 따라 붕괴하중의 조절이 가능하며 이를 실험을 통해 검증할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.

The continuous increase of emission rates of green house gases and the effects on global warming added a new dimension to the problem of substituting the petroleum and its derivatives by environment friendly and sustainable energy sources for the world. Solar and wind energy appear at the top of the list of renewable of high potential, widely available, of dominated technology and well accepted. Brazil is one of the few countries in the world that receives number hours of sunshine exceeding 3,000 hours per year with a daily average of 4.5 to 6 kWh. However, this potential is largely unexplored and poorly tapped. The number of renewable systems implanted in Brazil has grown in recent years, but still insignificant when compared, for example, with Germany and Spain among others. This paper presents the results of an optical study on small concentration solar collector with evacuated tube enveloping the absorber and internal reflective surface fixed on the bottom part of the evacuated tube. The designed collector has a 2D geometrical concentration ratio between 2.455 and 4.91. The orientation of the solar collector, the ratio of the radius of the receiver to the radius of the absorber, the incidence angle for each period of the year, the collector inclination angle, the aperture angle of the reflective surface, concentration and optical efficiency were determined. The ray traces and flux distribution on the absorber of the evacuated tube solar collector were determined by using the program Ray Optics Simulation. The optical efficiency varies during the year according to the solar declination. For the periods were the solar declination is close to zero the efficiencies are maximum, and the variation during the day is around 25.88% and 99.9%. For the periods were the solar declination is maximum the efficiencies are minimum, and the variation during the day is around 23.78% and 91.79%.

We report a passive Q-switching of an all-fiber erbium-doped fiber laser delivering high pulse energy by using a high quality single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). A side-polished fiber coated with the SWCNT is employed as an in-line SA for evanescent wave interaction between the incident light and the SWCNT. This lateral interaction scheme enables a stable Q-switched fiber laser that generates high pulse energy. The central wavelength of the Q-switched pulse laser was measured as 1560 nm. A repetition rate frequency of the Q-switched laser is controlled from 78 kHz to 190 kHz by adjusting the applied pump power from 124 mW to 790 mW. The variation of pulse energy from 51 nJ to 270 nJ is also observed as increasing the pump power. The pulse energy of 270 nJ achieved at maximum pump power is 3 times larger than those reported in Q-switched all-fiber lasers using a SWCNT-SA. The tunable behaviors in pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and pulse energy as a function of pump power are reported, and are well matched with theoretical expectation.

Solar reforming of methane with CO2 was successfully tested with a direct irradiated absorber on a parabolic dish capable of 5kWth solar power. And the new type of double-layer absorber-the front layer, porous metal foam which absorbs the radiation and transfers the heat from material to gas, and the back layer, catalytically-activated metal foam-was prepared, and its activity was tested by using electric furnace. Ni was applied as the active metal on the gamma-Al2O3 coated Ni metal foam for the preparation of the catalytically-activated metal foam layer. Compared to conventional direct irradiation of the catalytically activated metal foam absorber, this new type of double layer absorber is found to exhibit a superior reaction and thermal storage performance at the fluctuating incident solar radiation. In addition, unlike direct irradiation of the foam absorber, double layer absorber has better thermal resistance, which prevents the emergence of cracks caused by mechanical or thermal shock. The total solar power absorbed reached up to 3.25kW and the maximum CH4 conversion was almost 59%.

본 연구는 대형 석탄 화력 발전소 탈황설비 내 흡수탑의 성능향상을 위하여 Tray 설치 가능성을 검토하기 위한 연구로 전산 유체역학(CFD) 기법을 이용하여 탈황설비 내 흡수탑의 내부유동을 전산해석 하였다. 흡수탑 내의 Gas와 Slurry의 거동에 대한 사실적 묘사를 위해 Euler-Lagrangian 기법을 이용한 전산해석을 수행하였다. 기존 흡수탑 내에 Tray를 설치함에 따라 탈황설비 내에서 Slurry의 체공시간 증가로 인한 펌프동력 절감과 압력강하 증가로 인한 Fan의 소요동력 증가에 대하여 중점적으로 비교 및 고찰하였다. 그 결과 Tray를 설치함에 따라 흡수탑 내에 Slurry의 체공시간과 배기가스의 압력강하가 증가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 체공시간 증가로 인하여 절약된 동력이 압력강하에 의한 동력 소모량 증가보다 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다.
