Cold-start emissions are given great importance under the Euro-7 emission standard due to their significant impact on overall vehicle emissions. When an engine is started from a cold state, the combustion process is not yet optimized, leading to higher emissions. Hybrid vehicles, in particular, may face additional challenges, as their engine may remain inactive for extended periods, causing their catalysts to cool down and potentially become less effective in reducing emissions. In the present study, the performance of an electric heater was investigated as a means to enhance the catalyst heating during the start-up time. A simulation tool was utilized to develop a model for the gasoline exhaust aftertreatment system. The result indicates that the heater was able to increase the three-way catalyst temperature to 500℃ in 4 s using 20 kW power. In addition, the implementation of a secondary air supply resulted in reduced temperature overshoot and improved conversion efficiencies.

Many small vessels such as fishing boats operate in the world's oceans; accordingly, interest in these small vessels' exhaust-gas problem is increasing. Research on the application of electric-propulsion technology has been steadily conducted; however, the subject is limited to research ships or leisure boats, while research on application efficiency remains insufficient. This study attempts to apply lithium-battery electric-propulsion technology to small ships. A gross tonnage of 9.77, a representative fishing boat, is to be redesigned as a fully electrified ship. Without changing the main cabin's dimensions and fuel tanks, the ship's propulsion system is redesigned based on a lithium-battery electric-propulsion system. In addition, the redesigned system is compared with the original sample ship's diesel-propulsion system for application-effect analysis. The results indicate that under controlled sailing conditions, the weight and volume of the electric-propulsion system are 9.5 and 10.5 times those of the diesel-propulsion system, respectively. These values indicate that the system cannot meet fishing boats' high endurance requirements. Therefore, under the existing technical conditions, applying the full lithium-battery electric-propulsion system to solve the problem of high emissions from fishing boats shows limited feasibility.

In 1997 the Asian Foreign Currency Crisis hit Korean shores. In its wake, Korean consumers demanded cost-saving solutions which will increase both the use-life and the fuel efficiency their vehicles. Bullsoneshot's effects include increases in gas mileage as well as cleaner cylinders, intakes and exhaust valves, the product was welcomed by an explosive demand from people driving older cars in an adverse economy. The history of Bullsone can be categorized as two major stages. The First stage is lunching era of "Bullone Shot" following competitor brand. The second stage is extension stage of brand and line based on Bullsone's positive brand equity. Mr. Hyun Woo Shin, formal CEO of OXY inc. and also formal vice president of OCI (Oriental Chemical Industries) take charge of New CEO of Bullsone. He energetically push the Bullsone's family brands and got a desirable results. He also setup ambitious goal : reach 100bn KRW in gross sales within 3 years. "Ripping itself free from 30~40 bn KRW sales range in which the company has stagnated in the last 10 years, Bullsone intends to be aggressive enough in marketing to reach 150 bn KRW in sales in 2013, and reach 700 bn KRW by 2018." This is the goal iterated by Bullsone's top executive team.

Hydrogen is bridge fuel with high energy content and environmentally friendly to satisfy the stringent IMO regulation relating to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is growing interest in hydrogen in numerous nations and regions illustrated by an extensive range of research and development in technology. Regarding maritime applications, researchers have recognized the utilization of hydrogen as a fuel for fuel cells, a device that converts the chemical energy of the fuel to electrical energy. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), with high working temperature, is easy to combine with the waste heat recovery cycles/devices to increase output power and thermodynamic performances as well. Furthermore, the cold energy from liquid hydrogen supplied to SOFC can also be used to generate more power. In this study, we proposed a SOFC integrated system with the idea of combining the waste heat recovery from the SOFC exhaust stream and cold energy utilization from LH₂. The designation is aimed to target small-scale vessel which uses electric propulsion for short distances voyage.

최근 국내외 도심지역의 교통정체 완화와 공간의 효율성 증대를 위해 대도시내 도로의 지하화 시행빈도가 증가하고 있다. 도시부 터널은 극심한 정체상황 중 화재가 발생할 경우 대형 참사를 유발할 가능성이 산악터널보다 높기 때문에 소단면으로된 소형차전용터널로 시공이 될 가능성이 높다. 소형차 전용의 터널로 시공이 될 경우, 소형차 전용터널은 차량에 의한 설계화재강도를 감소할 수 있는 반면, 터널 높이 감소 등에 따른 단면적 축소에 따라 유해가스농도가 증가하여 위험도는 증가하는 상반된 특징이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통해 대배기구의 설치간격과 형태에 따른 화재양상을 터널 내 온도 및 CO농도를 분석하여 비교 검토하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 설치간격에 따른 연기확산거리는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 분석되었으나, 본 연구에서는 간격이 100 m인 경우가 가장 효과적으로 분석되었다. 대배기구 형상에 따른 연기확산거리는 $4m{\times}3m$, $6m{\times}2m$, $3m{\times}2m$ (2열) 순으로 배연성능이 우수한 것으로 분석되었으며, 대배기구 형상에 따른 연기확산거리는 플래시오버 이후에는 큰 차이가 없지만 화재 성장과정에서 $3m{\times}2m$인 경우 다른 경우보다 확산거리가 큰 것으로 분석되었고, 대배기구 종횡비에 따른 연기확산거리는 횡방향으로 긴 경우보다 종방향으로 긴 경우가 화재연기의 확산거리가 더 짧은 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 목재펠릿의 연소 시 발생되는 타르, 재, 클링커의 생성 특성 분석과 더불어, 1등급 목재펠릿의 함수율에 따른 목재펠릿보일러의 성능 분석이 수행되었다. 타르는 목재펠릿이 연소됨에 따라 생성되어 연소실 전열면에 부착되었고, 전열면에 부착되거나 배기가스와 함께 배출되지 못한 재의 경우, 바닥면에 축적되었으며, 클링커는 3등급 목재펠릿의 연소 중에 버너부에서 생성, 고형화되는 것으로 나타났다. 목재펠릿의 등급이 결정되는 요인으로써 함수율은 중요한 요인으로 작용된다. 벌채부산물을 이용한 목재펠릿은 불균일한 함수율로 인해, 연소 생성물의 발생량이 증가되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 이에 따른 연소시스템에서의 효율 저하, 시스템 작동 오류 등의 문제점이 발생되었다. 특히, 목재펠릿의 함수율에 따른 목재펠릿보일러의 성능 분석에서, 1등급 목재펠릿의 함수율이 6.6%p 증가하였을 때, 보일러효율이 약 27.08%p 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.

국제해사기구 해양환경보호위원회에서 그린하우스가스(GHG)의 주범인 CO2 배출량 감축을 위해 선박에서 대기로 방출하는 CO2의 양을 지수화 하고자 활발한 논의가 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 에너지 효율 개선을 위해서 선체의 설계변경, 마찰저항을 줄이기 위한 도료개발, 엔진의 열효율을 개선하기 위한 첨가제 개발, 연료를 절감하기 위하여 저속운전 등 다양한 방법들이 적용되고 있다. 선박의 주 기관에서는 전 부하영역에서 효율을 높이기 위하여 전자엔진이 사용되고 있으나, 선박용 발전기 엔진은 여전히 캠으로 연료분사와 흡 배기 밸브를 구동하는 기계식 작동엔진이 대부분이다. 또한 선박용 발전기 엔진은 선박의 과부하 방지 시스템 내에서 운전되므로 대부분의 운전은 80% 이하의 부분부하 영역에서 사용되고 있다. 따라서 100%부하에 세팅된 발전기 엔진은 부분부하에서 효율적인 운전을 위해서는 연료분사시기 재조정이 필요하다. 본 연구는 현재 운항중인 선박발전용 디젤엔진의 운용특성을 파악하여 부분부하에서 연료분사시기 재조정을 통하여 연료소비량 개선에 관한 결과를 보고 하고자 한다.

탈질과 탈황을 동시에 수행하는 과산화수소($H_2O_2$) 수용액 세정탑의 반응효율을 증가시키기 위해 예혼합이 이루어지는 혼합 냉각기(mixing quencher) 영역 내부의 유체유동에 대한 수치해석이 수행되었다. 산업공정에서 상용화되고 있는 세정탑 전단부의 혼합냉각기에서 과산화수소 수용액이 주입되는 노즐의 분사방식은 배기가스와 과산화수소 수용액의 혼합에 중요한 역할을 하며, 혼합냉각기에서의 혼합도는 세정탑 의 효율을 결정하는 중요 요소가 된다. 본 연구에서는 혼합냉각기 내부유체의 농도분포 개선을 목적으로 하여 혼합냉각기 내의 노즐 관의 배열을 조절하거나 노즐 팁 각도를 변경하며 유체혼합을 최적화하였다. 전산해석은 이 냉각기영역의 내부유동 및 각 유체 농도에 대한 RMS (root mean square) 값을 계산하여 내부유체의 혼합도의 개선을 확인하였다. 세부적으로는 노즐 관의 위치를 조절할 때 변경되는 냉각기 영역 후단의 농도 RMS 값을 확인하여 난류형성위치에 따른 최적화된 혼합도를 확인하였으며 기본형상 대비 난류형성방향을 조절하는 목적의 노즐 팁 각도를 증감하여 농도분포의 균질화를 비교하였다. 노즐 관의 배열에 따라 난류형성위치와 그에 따른 유체혼합이 해석되었다. 또한 노즐 팁 각도를 조절하는 경우에는 유동방향과의 각도에 따라, 흐름이 병류와 향류에 따라 혼합도의 최적화를 확인할 수 있었다. 노즐 관의 위치는 0.3 m, 노즐 팁은 병류의 $15^{\circ}$일 때 최적의 조건을 가지며 가장 낮은 RMS 값인 12.4%를 가졌다.

To reach the Euro-6 regulations of PM and $NO_x$ for light-duty diesel vehicles, it will be necessary to apply the CDPF and the de-$NO_x$ catalyst. The described system consists of a catalytic configuration, where the CDPF is placed downstream of the diesel engine and followed by a urea injection unit and a urea-SCR catalyst. One of the advantages of this system configuration is that, in this way, the SCR catalyst is protected from PM, and both white PM and deposits become reduced. In the urea-SCR system, the injection control of reductant is the most important thing in order to have good performance of $NO_x$ reduction. The ideal ratio of $NH_3$ molecules to $NO_x$ molecules is 1:1 based on $NH_3$ consumption and having $NH_3$ available for reaction of all of the exhaust $NO_x$. However, under the too low and too high temperature condition, the $NO_x$ reduction efficiency become slower, due to temperature window of SCR catalyst. And space velocity also affects to $NO_x$ conversion efficiency. In this paper, rig-tests were performed to evaluate the effects of $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ concentrations, gas temperature and space velocity on the $NO_x$ conversion efficiency of the urea-SCR system. And vehicle test was performed to verify control strategy of reductatnt injection. The developed control strategy of reductant injection was improved over all $NO_x$ reduction efficiency and $NH_3$ consumption in urea-SCR system. Results of this paper contribute to develop urea-SCR system for light-duty vehicles to meet Euro-5 emission regulations.
