We have investigated the sensing properties of ethanol gas sensor with pure ZnO and Ga-doped ZnO nanowires on Au coated (0001) sapphire substrates grown by hot walled pulsed laser deposition. Randomly aligned ZnO nanowires arrays were grown on a Au-electrode patterned under ambient conditions. ZnO nanowires have various sizes and shapes with a different substrate position inside a furnace. The average of length and diameter of the ZnO nanowires were $8\;{\mu}m$ and 100 nm respectively, and confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. Sensitivity chanege characterization of the gas sensor was found that measured sensitivities of the ethanol gas sensors were 83.3% and 68.3% at $300^{\circ}C$ respectively.

Trends of the automotive market require the application of new engine technologies, which allows for the use of different types of fuel. Since ethanol is a renewable source of energy and it contributes to lower $CO_2$ emissions, ethanol produced from biomass is expected to increase in use as an alternative fuel. It is recognized that for spark ignition (SI) engines ethanol has advantages of high octane number and high combustion speed. In spite of the advantages of ethanol, fuel supply system might be affected by fuel blends with ethanol like a wear and corrosion of electric fuel pumps. So the on-board hydrogen production out of ethanol reforming can be considered as an alternative plan. This paper investigates the influence of ethanol fuel on SI engine performance, thermal efficiency and emissions. The results obtained from experiments have shown that specific fuel consumption has increased by increasing ethanol amount in the blend whereas decreased by the use of hydrogen-enriched gas. The combustion characteristics with hydrogen-enriched gaseous fuel from ethanol reforming are also examined.

혼합물의 폭발하한계는 Raoult의 법칙, Dalton의 법칙, Le Chatelier 법칙 그리고 활동도계수 모델식을 이용하여 예측될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ethylacetate-ethanol 계와 ethanol+toluene 계의 폭발하한계를 예측하기 위해 Raoult의 법칙 그리고 활동도계수 모델식인 van Laar 식과 Wilson 식을 이용하였다. 계산값과 문헌값을 비교한 결과, Raoult의 법칙에 의한 계산값이 활동도 모델식에 의한 계산값 보다 모사성이 뛰어남을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 대체연료 개발 및 국제환경규제에 대응하기 위하여, 노말데케인과 에탄올 혼합연료의 조성 및 온도 변화가 자착화 특성에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 해석용 프로그램으로는 CHEMKIN-PRO를 사용하였고, 반응모델은 LLNL모델을 이용하였다. 수치해석 결과를 통해 저온 연소 반응이 일어나는 1000K 이하에서는 에탄올의 몰 비율이 증가함에 따라 점화지연 시간이 증가하는 현상을 확인하였다. 에탄올의 높은 옥탄가로 인해 에탄올의 높은 비율은 점화를 일으키는 OH라디칼의 농도 증가를 지연시키기 때문이다. 배기가스 재순환을 적용하기 위해 혼합연료에 산소농도를 변화하여 수치해석을 하였다. 산소농도가 감소함에 따라 전체 점화지연시간은 증가하게 되고, 이는 질소가스가 연소실 내에 열부하로 작용하기 때문이다.

본 연구에서는 우유에 탈지분유 또는 4종의 곡류(쌀, 보리, 밀, 옥수수)를 각각 첨가하고 젖산균(Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC 2182)으로 발효하여 호상의 요구르트를 만든 후, 곡류의 첨가가 요구르트에서 생성되는 휘발성 향기성분의 종류와 함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Gas chromatograph를 사용하여 호상요구르트의 휘발성분을 분석한 결과, acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol, diacetyl, butanol 및 acetoin의 6가지 취발성분이 탐지되었으며, 이 중에서 젖산균 발효에 의하여 생성된 것은 acetaldehyde, ethanol, diacetyl 및 acetoin 이었다. 곡류 첨가에 의하여 요구르트의 휘발성 향기성분의 전체적인 패턴에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 우유요구르트의 발효과정에 일어나는 휘발성 향기성분의 경시적인 변화를 보면, 젖산균 발효로 생성된 성분 가운데 acetoin과 ethanol은 발효 6시간까지 급격하게 증가한 후 그 이후에는 완만하게 증가하였고, diacetyl은 6시간까지 급격히 증가한 후 그 후부터는 감소하였으며, acetaldehyde는 발효 18시간부터 생성되기 시작하였다.

This research presents an innovative integrated ethanol solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system designed for applications in marine vessels. The system incorporates an exhaust gas heat recovery mechanism. The high-temperature exhaust gas produced by the SOFC is efficiently recovered through a sequential process involving a gas turbine (GT), a regenerative system, steam Rankine cycles, and a waste heat boiler (WHB). A comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of this integrated SOFC-GT-SRC-WHB system was performed. A simulation of this proposed system was conducted using Aspen Hysys V12.1, and a genetic algorithm was employed to optimize the system parameters. Thermodynamic equations based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics were utilized to assess the system's performance. Additionally, the exergy destruction within the crucial system components was examined. The system is projected to achieve an energy efficiency of 58.44% and an exergy efficiency of 29.43%. Notably, the integrated high-temperature exhaust gas recovery systems contribute significantly, generating 1129.1 kW, which accounts for 22.9% of the total power generated. Furthermore, the waste heat boiler was designed to produce 900.8 kg/h of superheated vapor at 170 ℃ and 405 kP a, serving various onboard ship purposes, such as heating fuel oil and accommodations for seafarers and equipment.

Calcium carbonate fine powders were synthesized by blowing CO2 gas in CaO or Ca(OH)2 suspension, and the shapes of powders obtained were examined for each synthetic condition. When water was used as a solvent, ultrafine calcite powders with the average size of∼0.03$\mu\textrm{m}$ were obtained. When synthesized using methanol as a solvent, amorphous phase and spherical vaterite phase were obtained by suction filtering and non-filtering, respectively. Reaction did not occured in ethanol medium, but spherical vaterite phase was obtained by adding ethylene glycol in ethanol.

Ethanol was utilized by mixed rumen microbes, but addition of pentachlorophenol (25 mg/l), a methanogen inhibitor, suppressed the utilization of ethanol. Carbon monoxide (50% of the gas phase), a hydrogenase inhibitor, more strongly suppressed the utilization of ethanol, propanol, and butanol. These results suggest that the major ethanol utilizers are $H_2$ producers. Ethanol utilization was depressed at low pH (below 6.0). Since methanogens were shown to be relatively resistant to low pH, it appears that ethanol utilizers are particularly sensitive to low pH. Ruminococcus albus and R. flavefaciens in mono-culture produced ethanol from carbohydrate (glucose and cellobiose), even when a high level (170 mM) of ethanol was present. Ethanol was not utilized even in the absence of carbohydrate, but the co-culture of these bacteria with methanogens resulted in the utilization of ethanol, i.e., when $H_2$ was rapidly converted to $CH_4$, R. albus and R. flavefaciens utilized ethanol. These results suggest that ethanol is utilized when the electrons liberated by the oxidation of ethanol are rapidly removed, and ready electron disposal in ethanol-utilizing, $H_2$-producing bacteria is accomplished by the interspecies transfer of $H_2$.

된장의 발효 숙성 과정중 경시적으로 분리친 180주의 효모를 동정한 결과 Candida rugosa, Candida zelyanoides, Pichia farinosa, Sacccharomyces cerevisiae, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii 등 4속 5종으로 분리 동정되었다. 이들 효모 중 가스 및 알콜 생성능이 높은 효모는 S. cerevisiae와 Z. rouxii였으며, 특히 Z. rouxii는 속성 14일째 26%, 30일째는 76%의 분리빈도를 보여 된장의 발효숙성에 주로 분포되는 효모로 나타났다. 된장 발효숙성중의 효모수는 숙성초기부터 서서히 증가하여 숙성 14일 경과시 초기보다 약 30배 증가하여 최고수준에 이르렀으며, 이후 감소하기 시작하여 숙성 60일째는 숙성초기 효모수 보다 낮게 나타났다. 발효 속성중 에탄올은 숙성 30일째 1.87%가 생성되었고, 이후 60일째 까지 2.19%로 완만히 증가하였다. 가스생성은 숙성 14일의 시료 된장에서 가장 많았으며 보존중 최대 가스 생성량은 9.75ml/g이었으며 30일째의 시료 된장에서는 4.5ml/g로 가스 생성이 감소되었고, 숙성 45일과 60일째의 시료에서 가스생성이 억제된 것은 발효숙성시 생성된 에탄올로부터 기인되는 것으로 생각된다.

Pure ZnO, ZnO nanowires doped with 3 wt.% Ga (3GZO) and doped with 3 wt.% Ag (3SZO) were grown by a hot-walled pulse laser deposition (HW-PLD) technique. The optical and chemical properties of Ga and Ag doped nanowires was analyzed. Nanowires were determined to be under 200 nm in diameter and several μm in length. Change of significant resistance was observed and the gas detection sensitivities of ZnO, 3GZO and 3SZO nanawires were compared. The sensitivities of ZnO, 3GZO, and 3SZO nanowire sensors were measured at 300℃ for 1 ppm of ethanol gas at 97%, 48%, and 203%, respectively.
