본 연구에서는 유기성 폐기물로부터 생산되는 바이오가스를 이산화탄소 제거 없이 직접 이용하여 바이오가스 전처리 및 정제 공정 비용을 절감하여 수소를 생산하는 공정의 모델을 구축하고 열교환망 최적화를 통해 공정비용 최소화, 수소 생산량 및 최종 배가스 온도 최대화를 목표로 공정 모사를 진행하였다. 공정 최적화 결과 열교환기 개수 제한조건을 충족하면서 최종 배가스 온도를 최대화하는 공정모델이 가장 효율적임을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 바이오가스 직접 이용 수소 생산 공정의 상용개념설계에 활용되어 바이오가스의 청정수소 에너지 전환기술 확대에 기여 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

J. Kennedy and R. Eberhart first introduced the concept called as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). They applied it to optimize continuous nonlinear functions and demonstrated the effectiveness of the algorithm. Since then a considerable number of researchers have attempted to apply this concept to a variety of optimization problems and obtained reasonable results. In PSO, individuals communicate and exchange simple information with each other. The information among individuals is communicated in the swarm and the information between individuals and their swarm is also shared. Finally, the swarm approaches the optimal behavior. It is reported that reasonable approximate solutions of various types of test functions are obtained by employing PSO. However, if more precise solutions are required, additional algorithms and/or hybrid algorithms would be necessary. For example, the heading vector of the swarm can be slightly adjusted under some conditions. In this paper, we propose a hybrid algorithm to obtain more precise solutions. In the algorithm, when a better solution in the swarm is found, the neighborhood of a certain distance from the solution is searched. Then, the algorithm returns to the original PSO search. By this hybrid method, we can obtain considerably better solutions in less iterations than by the standard PSO method.

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is an optimization technique considering simultaneously multiple disciplines such as dynamics, mechanics, structural analysis, thermal and fluid analysis and electromagnetic analysis. A software system enabling multidisciplinary design optimization is called MDO framework. An MDO framework provides an integrated and automated design environment that increases product quality and reliability, and decreases design cycle time and cost. The MDO framework also works as a common collaborative workspace for design experts on multiple disciplines. In this paper, we present the architecture for an MDO framework along with the requirement analysis for the framework. The requirement analysis has been performed through interviews of design experts in industry and thus we claim that it reflects the real needs in industry. The requirements include integrated design environment, friendly user interface, highly extensible open architecture, distributed design environment, application program interface, and efficient data management to handle massive design data. The resultant MDO framework is datasever-oriented and designed around a centralized data server for extensible and effective data exchange in a distributed design environment among multiple design tools and software.

A stack in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) consists of bipolar plates, a membrane electrode assembly, a gas diffusion layer, a collector and end plates. High current density is usually obtainable partially from uniform temperature distribution in the fuel cell. A size optimization method considering the thermal expansion effect of stacked plates was developed on the basis of finite element analyses. The thermal stresses in end, bipolar, and cooling plates were calculated based on temperature distribution obtained from thermal analyses. Finally, the optimization method was applied and optimum thicknesses of the three plates were calculated considering both fastening bolt tension and thermal expansion of each unit cell (72 cells, 5kW). The optimum design considering both thermal and mechanical loads increases the thickness of an end plate by 0.64-0.83% the case considering only mechanical load. The effect can be enlarged if the number of stack increases as in an automotive application to 200-300 stacks.

본 연구는 NPK(질소-인-칼슘) 비료 생산을 위하여 강양이온 이온교환수지를 사용하는 모사이동층(SMB; simulated moving bed) 흡착 공정의 모델링과 모사에 관하여 다룬다. 이 공정은 생산부와 재생부로 크게 나뉘며, 원하지 않는 이온을 제외시키기 위한 2개의 세척 구역을 포함하여 6개의 구역으로 구성되어있다. 따라서 전통적인 4구역 모사이동층 공정보다 좀 더 복잡한 운전 조건을 갖는다. 이러한 6구역 모사이동층 공정의 모델링과 모사를 통하여 얻은 결과는 파일럿규모의 공정과 상용화 공정에서 얻은 실험 결과와 유사함을 보여주었다. 실험 결과로부터 확인된 이 모델식은 최적 운전 조건을 얻기 위한 최적화 문제에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

No-carrier-added holmium-166 (n.c.a ¹⁶⁶Ho) separation is performed based on the results of separation conditions using stable isotopes dysprosium (Dy) and holmium (Ho) to minimize radioactive waste from separation optimization procedures. Successful separation of two adjacent lanthanides was achieved by cation-exchange chromatography using a sulfonated resin in the H+ form (BP-800) and α-hydroxyisobutyric acid (α-HIBA) as eluent. For the identification process after separation of stable isotopes, the use of chromogenic reagents alternatively enables on-line detection because the lanthanides are hardly absorb light in the UV-vis region or exhibit radioactivity. Four different chromogenic reagents were pre-tested to evaluate suitable coloring reagents, of which 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol is the most recommendable considering the sensitivity and specificity for lanthanides. Lanthanide radioisotopes (RI) were monitored for separation with an RI detector using a lab-made separation LC system. Under the proper separation conditions, the n.c.a ¹⁶⁶Ho was effectively obtained from a large amount of 100 mg dysprosium target within 2 hrs.

해수나 염수에서 마그네슘을 추출하는 전해 반응은 마그네슘 이온을 주로 수산화마그네슘 형태로 마그네슘을 침전-회수하는 기술로, 양이온교환막, 음이온교환막, 전기투석, 비막 방식 등으로 분류된다. 최근 연구는 마그네슘 함유 해수나 염수를 사용하여 마그네슘의 회수 효율성 및 선택성 증진에 집중되며, 향후 일반 해수를 사용할 경우에도 효과적인 마그네슘 회수가 기대된다. 향후에는, 스케일업 시스템의 장기운전을 통해 마그네슘 및 다양한 유가물질에 대한 선택적 고효율 회수의 최적화와 더불어 경제성 및 환경성을 증진하는 것이 중요하다. 함께 막의 수명 및 교체주기를 고려하여 운전비용을 현실적으로 산정해야 하며, 다양한 인자에 대한 모니터링 데이터를 기반으로 상세하고 실용적인 공정 모델이 필요하다.

In this paper, we deal with an enhanced index fund strategy by implementing the exchange trade funds (ETFs) within the context of the Black-Litterman approach. The KOSPI200 index ETF is used to build risk-controlled portfolio that tracks the benchmark index, while the proposed Black-Litterman model mitigates estimation errors in incorporating both active investment views and equilibrium views. First, we construct a Black-Litterman model portfolio with the active market perspective based on the momentum strategy. Then, we update the portfolio with the KOSPI200 index ETF by using the equilibrium return ratio and weighted averages, while devising optimization modeling for improving the information ratio (IR) of the portfolio. Finally, we demonstrate the empirical viability of the proposed enhanced index strategies with KOSPI 200 data.

This paper presents a method of decision on where bus splitting is needed to reduce fault current level of power systems and to satisfy the fault current constraints. The method employs a modified fault current constrained optimal power flow (FCC-OPF) with X variables for the candidate locations of splitting and for decision making on whether to split or not, it adopts soft-discretization by augmenting inversed U-shaped penalty terms. Also, this paper discusses the procedure on the adequate selection of bus splitting locations based on the results of the modified FCC-OPF, to reduce the total number of the actions taken.

During the course of studies on the production of glutathione from yeast, process development and optimization was carried out. The optimal pH for the extraction of glutathione was found to be 2.5 to 4.0 and the maximum yield for glutathione was obtained when the extraction temperature was 25 to $45^{\circ}C$. The cuprous salt of glutathione was recovered maximally at the range of 2 to 4g of cuprous oxide per 10 Kg of compressed yeast. Further purification was needed for the removal of impurities from glutathione. Cation exchange resin, anion exchange resin and Sephadex G-25 were employed for this purpose. 13 to 15 g of glutathione was obtained from 10 Kg of compressed yeast and the purity was above 99.3%.
